“Where can I spend money on this game?”

Apparently, this lady had felt disgruntled and had heard of the trope of “spending money to get stronger in games,” so she wanted to use her “Money Ability.”

When Lincoln first started developing “Traveler of the Wind,” he was worried that he would bring over the not-so-good habit of “in-game purchases,” affecting game producers in this world.

But later, he discovered that his concern was entirely unnecessary.

At first, game companies in this world were quite modest, and games were basically exchanged by paying money and getting the goods.

However, after some adult games emerged and developed rapidly year by year, many different concepts, play styles, and revenue methods appeared one after another.

This greatly broadened the horizons and thinking of mainstream game producers in this world.

Especially in terms of revenue, things like developing DLC and in-game purchases were first successfully implemented in adult games before quickly spreading to others.

After all, which company wouldn’t like a method that can increase revenue almost immediately?

Only when there’s no other way to adopt such a charging method—once implemented, it would greatly affect the game’s lifespan, or even its sales—would a company completely refuse.

But there are only a few games like that, most of which will at least sell some DLCs, and players are often more than happy to spend money on them.

Unfortunately, the development cycle for “Assassins’ Alliance” was simply too short, and it was already challenging enough to get it online so quickly.

If they wanted to extend the game’s lifespan as much as possible, more expansion content and revenue methods would have to be added gradually.

At the current stage, however, apart from the game itself, there’s nothing else.

Camille Victoria explained to the lady that there was no way to spend money at the moment, and the lady reluctantly said, “How can the boss not even know how to make money!”

Xiaomei interjected and asked, “Camille Victoria, is the money we stole earlier

gone:

“Yeah,” Camille Victoria said awkwardly, “except for mission rewards, the money and items gained in other ways need to be held for over 20 minutes before the ownership rights truly change, and they will reappear along with the revived player.”

Xiao Mei nodded, “I see, we only had it for a few minutes…”

However, she quickly cheered up, “Alright, since the weather is so nice, let’s go cycling instead!”

Though some people wanted to try getting revenge, everyone was willing to give Xiaomei face, so they all responded enthusiastically.

“But the bicycles…”

“Leave it to me!” Camille Victoria said confidently, striding towards a fire cabinet nearby.

In the end, Camille Victoria and her eight friends didn’t end up going to the amusement park, but under Xiao Mei’s guidance, their moods quickly improved.

They rode bicycles around, stopping here and there, enjoying the exotic scenery and bustling crowds, feeling incredibly happy.

Before they disbanded, they formed a small group and vowed to avenge their humiliation one day!

But just because they didn’t go to the amusement park doesn’t mean others didn’t.

In fact, the amusement park is quite popular right now!

Lincoln had already lowered the requirements considerably, and the rewards for completing any task were enough to cover the cost of going to the amusement park.

Even if one isn’t willing to do missions, carefully searching the spawn point houses and finding money is enough to take a taxi to the amusement park and buy a ticket.

As long as you enter the amusement park, you can play on the facilities as you please, and there are also mini-games that give money rewards or even directly offer tickets.

In short, as long as you get in and put in some effort, you can access the park again.

In Lincoln’s plan, casual players can completely ignore the main missions of “Assassin’s Alliance” and merely treat it as a travel game.

So, despite the server only just opening, tens of thousands of people flocked to the amusement park among the base population of more than 3 million people online.

The amusement park area has already spawned more than a dozen mirror servers.contemporary romance

Based on the different amusement facilities chosen by players, the many mirrors of the amusement park are undergoing small-scale dynamic adjustments…

—trying to ensure a lively environment without making players too crowded or wait too long.

All kinds of amusement facilities were operating at almost full capacity, with waves of players coming and going, accompanied by laughter and screams.

There were lines of people waiting for the snack stalls, chatting nonstop.

At the exit of the pirate ship ride, Princess Camille Victoria and Shuihua walked out together.

Originally, the princess had been in her virtual office, keeping an eye on the game’s sales changes and online news with her colleagues.

But they soon discovered that everything was going well, and there was nothing left to do.

So everyone dispersed and went to do their own things.

Just then, Shuihua invited her to play, and since Shuihua had even taken sick leave to skip Saturday classes to play games, she agreed to come along.

Yesterday, Shuihua had also asked Lance, “Do you want to play the game together tomorrow?”

Without thinking, Lance replied, “No, I want to get through the main storyline as quickly as possible.”

Shuihua wasn’t offended; she understood that Lance was different from her and treated gaming as work, which is why she immediately decided to play with her friend, Camille Victoria.

At this moment, Camille Victoria was still using her virtual avatar ‘Victoria.”

As character creation hadn’t been opened by Lincoln yet, the treatment she was receiving was unique on the entire web.

When she first met Shuihua in the virtual world, Shuihua was a bit startled.

Once she understood the situation, she was envious and couldn’t help but pester Camille Victoria, asking, “Can you ask Lincoln to make one for me, too?”

She desperately needed this feature!

Her smurf account was still easy to disguise, but once Mirage became widespread, what would she do if a netizen asked to meet her in the virtual world?

If she couldn’t create a custom character, wouldn’t she be exposed right away?

This feature was a must-have for her! She was even willing to pay for it!

Camille Victoria knew Shuihua’s little hobby and wasn’t surprised by the request, “I’m not sure if Lincoln designed it this way for some other reason, so I’m not sure if I can help you get it. I can try asking for you, but don’t get your hopes up!”

“Okay, okay, just remember to ask him!” Shuihua nodded repeatedly.

The two young girls, hand in hand, walked towards the ice cream stall.

As Lincoln watched the live feeds of different players in the game, captivated by their experiences, Mavis, who was resting on his arm, suddenly turned her head to stare at the void to her right.

She shook Lincoln’s arm, “Master, Mavis discovered something strange!”

“Something strange?” Lincoln asked, looking at Mavis. “What?”

“A device was activated overseas, and it’s trying to log in to the game..” Mavis turned her head and asked in confusion, “Master, should we let them in?”
