Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Victoria I s New Audience

Translator: 549690339

The heat of Camille Victoria's live broadcast room is soaring.

The small live streaming room for 1,000 people has long been outdated. Since she received Lincoln's test invitation, the number of people in her live broadcast room has been slowly rising, and by yesterday, it had reached more than 60,000 people online.

Today, she rides the wave of the Cloud Dream Host's popularity, attracting a constant influx of new audiences to her live broadcast room.

200,000 Mirage units seem like a considerable number, but they are actually distributed across the Daxia nation. Not limited to just the player group, many disabled people and fans of Princess Camille Victoria are also scrambling for them.

So there are not many people who actually got one, let alone anchors.

Moreover, not everyone who got one lives in Xiajing City, so they have to wait for the equipment to be delivered to their homes.

Only those who live in Xiajing City and manage to get the equipment can have it on the same day, so for now, she is the only one who can start the live broadcast.

As a result, she only briefly chatted to adjust the atmosphere, and by the time she started the equipment, there were already 500,000 people crammed into the live broadcast room, and the number was still rising rapidly.

The platform's operation and maintenance team is working hard to expand her capacity, but the live broadcast room still experiences occasional lag. It was only after increasing her bandwidth to the level of the platform's top anchor that the live broadcast room finally stabilized.

This is not only her own traffic but also the platform's, so the operation and maintenance team is quite generous about it.

The stream goes smoothly. Lincoln had reserved a connection for her from the beginning, for he would not overlook the influence of live streaming and video sharing on the game's popularity.

The game begins with a movie-like lengthy shot. On the vast yellow sand, the sunlight sparkles radiantly, nameless steles silently stand in the desert, a star descends from the sky, and a person dressed in a red robe appears on camera.

The camera zooms in, and Camille Victoria wears a red robe, standing once again at the starting point of “Traveler of the Wind.” The surroundings are an endless expanse of yellow sand. Not far away on the sand dunes, tall, slender steles stand, their ribbons fluttering in the wind at the top.

“I won't describe the feeling of realism. You won't understand it even if I do, so wait until you get the equipment and experience it yourselves. All I can say is that the level of realism is beyond imagination, but it's much more comfortable and beautiful than absolute reality. Every time I enter this world, I feel very happy.”

As she speaks, Camille Victoria bounces on the spot, stomps hard on the sand with her right leg, and then slaps her right leg under the cloak, feeling the real feedback, and once again experiencing the heartfelt joy.

This joy is easily passed on to the audience, especially the 1,000 long-time viewers in the live broadcast room. Seeing the young girl jumping around with all her limbs intact, they also sincerely feel happy for her and generously send gifts.

“So, let's go!” Camille Victoria waves her fists and climbs the sand dunes while continuing to speak.

'Many of you should have played the trial part released by Lincoln earlier. What I want to tell you is that it was all scaled down to fit different platforms, and scaled down a lot. The true virtual environment version is much larger.” “For example—here!” With that, she leaps forward.

“Yahhoo!” With a cheering sound, she slides down the fine yellow sand from the top of the sand dune, skillfully sliding out gentle curves.

She didn't waste too much time on the prologue because players had experienced it in the trial version, and she had played it during testing. So she quickly completed this part.

Only when she went through the stage did she explain the meaning of the cutscene animation: 'Many people have seen this animation, and there have been many guesses. I'll also share my guess, but it may not necessarily be correct.”

Stacking the armor, she reveals her understanding: “The person in the white robe we see here should be someone like a mentor, and the mural we see probably tells the origin of the civilization we see: the magic on the Sacred Mountain turns into light, bursts forth, sprinkling in the desert, bringing life to the desert. The ancestors learned to use magic and created the floating scarf.”

In the following broken bridge stage, she expertly collects runes, lights up murals, connects the broken bridge, and then arrives at the final destination, the monument.

Camille Victoria didn't notice that the comments were all saying: “That person in the white robe is an ancestor! What kind of mentor! It's so obvious!”

She continues to speculate on the meaning of the cutscene animation on her own: “This is a continuation of the previous animation. The ancestors of the little red people make use of magic to build a civilization in the desert, even having transportation!”

She took a brief glance at the comments in the lower-left corner of her vision and was surprised to find that many people in the live broadcast room were actually very interested in the first two small levels she thought everyone would be impatient with. They kept saying “so beautiful” and “I want to play it” and that “not all games are about shooting and fighting!”

Camille Victoria realized that there were now not only gamers in the live broadcast room, but also many people who didn't play games and were attracted by the trend and excitement, which was something rare in the past.

After watching the animation, the quicksand waterfall in front of her dispersed, revealing a path of sand leading to the next level. Camille Victoria walked forward with anticipation.

And most of the players in the live streaming room finally became excited.

“One week! Do you know how I spent this week?! Finally, I can know what's next!”

“Yeah, Lincoln's demo was really too cunning, it ended before we could see anything! They just gave us a little taste, then left us hanging, waiting for us to buy their equipment in order to play the rest of the story! Totally cunning!”

“Wow!” Camille Victoria cheered again, “Finally, I can see the scenery here again!”

The comments were also full of exclamations, scrolling by so quickly that it was impossible to see what was being said.

What the audience saw now was no longer the vast yellow desert, but a macaron-colored soft desert, with huge, cotton-candy-like clouds rising from the ground in the distance. The Sacred Mountain stood quietly beneath the pale blue sky.

Countless fans of Princess Camille who had come to join the excitement felt their hearts moved instantly, determined to grab a Mirage and visit this beautiful place. It was so beautiful!

Camille Victoria also couldn't help but admire the beautiful surroundings, wishing she could capture everything in her eyes.

It was only when the comments started anxiously urging for more gifts that she refocused on moving forward.

In the mechanical ruins, Camille Victoria released a red cloth kite, which flew a few circles around her before leading her forward, occasionally diving in and out of the sand.

Having experienced this once before, Camille Victoria naturally didn't lose track of it. Soon, she followed the kite to rescue a group of other kites and even flew a lap on a kite's back.

Considering the audience's feelings, she didn't try to collect all the runes she had missed in the previous test, but took only 3 runes to activate the monument to clear the level.

Last time during the test, her stubbornness in wanting to find all the runes led to her failing the level.

As always, she tried to guess the meaning of the animation: “Towers rise one by one, with the ancestors reaching the highest point.”

“Wait!” Camille Victoria suddenly realized, “The white-robed person we saw when clearing the level, is he the ancestor of us people in red robes?”

“I told you half an hour ago!” “I told you a week ago!”

“I've been telling you since I was born!”

Seeing the increasingly outrageous comments, Camille Victoria chose to ignore them, and then turned her head to look behind her. The kite she had rescued earlier had been chirping at her. She walked towards the kite, stepped on it, and flew up towards the high wall in the distance.

As she crossed the high wall, she landed in a sea of flowing sand and started sliding down uncontrollably.

She quickly reacted, “This is the quicksand from Lincoln's initial trailer! But wasn't there two little red characters in the trailer? Where's my little friend?” As if responding to her thoughts, a red figure wearing a mask suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of her..
