Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1074: Prison_1 Chapter 1180: Chapter 1074: Prison_1 Ordinarily, the sudden Procurement of ten million would be expected to elicit immense ecstatic joy.

However, setting aside the fact that the money had not yet been received, Camille was engrossed in preparing for the college entrance exam.

Having never suffered from poverty, her life hadn’t fundamentally changed.

Her parents understood the value of money, though.

In their view, this was the money their daughter earned.

Similar to the money Camille earned before, they didn’t spend a cent of it but saved it entirely for her.

They didn’t think about spending this money—at least, not now.

Subsequently, the sequence of events was as follows: Camille finished her meal peacefully and went back to her room to continue studying.

To avoid disturbing Camille’s studying, her parents went out one by one, answering congratulations calls.

All kinds of distant relatives suddenly appeared out of the blue.

Even distant relatives whose phone numbers they hadn’t recorded also managed to call up.

On the contrary, close relatives and friends who are on good terms with them usually only send a simple congratulations message praising how well they raised their daughter and how promising she is, and that’s it.

Having realized that, Yao quickly called his wife on his mobile phone, thereby holding up both lines.

Then, after half an hour of communication between the couple, they agreed to turn off their phones simultaneously, momentarily escaping their troubles.

Returning home, Mom couldn’t stay idle and went to make fruit tea for Camille.

Old Yao went to the balcony and looked out over the lights of Xiajing City, falling silent.

After pulling himself out of the bustle and shock, he began to question life.

If one can earn ten million in one day in the virtual world, is he encouraging his daughter to study instead of playing the game the right approach?

Would encouraging her to study for 20 years then enable her to earn that much?

Old Yao’s values were profoundly challenged…

However, the next morning, a trophy handed out at lightning speed at home immediately put all these troubles behind him.

Considering the close relationship between Camille and Princess, and the fact that Camille had to return to school on Sunday afternoon, Lincoln accelerated the process for her.

This resulted in a situation where the challenge was completed on Saturday evening and the award was given out on Sunday morning.

Camille Victoria also came along, personally presenting the trophy to her close friend and paying for their tax.

—Although Camille had become a little wealthy lady, compared to Princess, a top-tier wealthy lady, she was nothing.

Not to mention other projects, just the dividend from “Animal Party” and “Gravity” is enough for Camille Victoria to be on the global rich list.

If it weren’t for the dual restrictions from the taxation and foreign affairs departments, she could take out all her savings and buy a mech from Titan Manufacturing.

—And that’s the doubled price paid by the American Army Department!

Helping with the tax payment is sprinkling water, easy peasy.

In the beginning, Camille wanted to hollow out the solid base of the trophy and sell off the hollowed part to pay the tax.

Camille Victoria spent a considerable amount of time persuading her to abandon this magical idea.

The subsequent award reception, photography, and group photos all ended smoothly.

The only difference is: when Xu Shenghan was awarded, he got to “lift up the trophy”, and this step was skipped for Camille.

It was too heavy, she couldn’t lift it…

After all the reporters and photographers dispersed, Camille, along with her mom and dad, treasured the trophy for a while, and then they all went out with the trophy.

This thing obviously can’t be kept at home.

Even Xu Shenghan, who was an anchor, didn’t put the trophy on the shelf in his live streaming room to show off.

He ran to the bank on the same day to rent a safe and stored the pure gold trophy there.

He asked someone to make a replica copper-wood trophy to display and specifically performed a program of “waving the 50-kilogram trophy with one hand” for viewers, letting them know this thing was fake.

As a senior sailor who has conducted ocean-going voyages, this kind of caution would come naturally to him without needing to be reminded by anyone.

Camille was reminded by her parents, so the family went to the bank together and stored the trophy.

Gold is something you don’t have to worry about inflation or depreciation.

You can rest assured and store it when you don’t need money.

Take it out to exchange for money when you need it.

After all these, Camille’s routine quickly restored to its tranquility, and she continued to study diligently.

The parents were forced to deal with a stream of ‘harassing’ phone calls…

Fortunately, this was just a happy problem and for the two mature adults, it wasn’t hard to deal with.

In comparison, another group of people who were hounded by Shuihua all day were facing nothing but trouble—
They were the last group of players trapped in the prison called [Scorched Earth World].

Leaving?

Don’t even think about it!

They still have the [Eternal Hostile] on them.

During the previous “great encirclement”, there were people who turned against their own team, killing their own players, trying to seize the opportunity to get rid of this status.

But unfortunately, just because the unfortunate ones who got caught up in it can get rid of their status after killing five World’s Foes, doesn’t mean they can too.

Just like the name of this mark—
[Eternal Hostile], they are the enemy, always and forever.

No matter how many of their own they kill, they can’t wash it away, they are just wasting their efforts.

But when the news of Shuihua holding up the gold trophy swept the globe, it was really hard for them to give up Pandora.

They were each torn in agony.

What’s even worse, it’s as if Eva has been completely “activated”, wherever they go, as long as there are wild animals, they will definitely be attacked!

As for emulating [Flag of Savior], planting trees in their own Scorched Earth World to restore green?

Theoretically, it’s possible.

But without the bonus of [Saviour of Pandora], planting trees at a leisurely pace, they would have to plant until pigs might fly.

[Flag of Savior] mobilized 20 million people to do this, and even had the full assistance of Pandora’s native creatures to successfully reverse the trend.

Leaning on their hundreds of thousands…

They might as well delete their accounts early.

Even more terrifying is that on Sunday morning, the active volcano, which the players guessed might also carry the [Ultimate Challenge], erupted!

— It only erupted in the Scorched Earth World.

The normal world is still the same, it’s just that occasionally there will be some bright lava slowly flowing down the ridge.

But in the Scorched Earth World, thick smoke and burning lava accompanied by violent earthquakes were sprayed wildly, staining the sky in that direction a fiery red.

The thick smoke blocked the sky, the lava scattered in the air irregularly, transforming into balls of fire falling from the sky.

Volcanic ash and volcanic debris impacted hundreds of miles around!

The airstream with the farthest reach even made players a thousand miles away smell the stench of sulfur.

The ecological environment of the Scorched Earth World took another big step towards destruction!

Incidentally, it made the environment even worse for the players remaining there.

At this point, these marked players could only give up their fantasies and run to the comment sections of Lincoln and Cloud Dream for help.

—If they can’t play the game, it’s normal to expect the developers to solve it.

But the problem is, Lincoln this guy, does not play by the rules.

Pandora is also open for free, not only has he not taken a cent from the players, but he has also distributed 20 million.

So Lincoln had no psychological burden, and acted as if he didn’t see the argument between both sides.

—Yes, both sides.

Players from [Eternal Hostile] and [Flag of Savior] are fighting in the comment section, one side arguing it’s the “developer’s responsibility”, while the other says “you reap what you sow”, arguing fervently.

But in terms of numbers, [Eternal Hostile] was at a severe disadvantage, this verbal sparring match, basically impossible to win…
