Chapter 1116: Chapter 1024: Cloud Dream Being Blocked, and the Increasingly Ridiculous Periphery_1 Chapter 1116: Chapter 1024: Cloud Dream Being Blocked, and the Increasingly Ridiculous Periphery_1 While Queenie was burning the midnight oil, the lights at the Cloud Dream headquarters were unusually still on.
By 5 PM, most of the staff had already left work.
But because players kept sending things to the headquarters, Quentina had no choice but to assign a team of administrative staff to stay and receive the items.
This kind of situation was rather rare.
Although players used to send stuff before, it was usually after the second or third day of the game’s release that they would reach their peak.
And not all of them were blades, thank-you letters and small gifts would also frequently come in.
Especially for casual games like “Light Encounter”, “Paradise”, and “My World”, small gifts from players all over the country and even around the world were almost constant.
But today, things were quite different—
From the start, many players sent blades to Cloud Dream because of the [April Fool’s Day prank].
Not long after the official launch of the game, the players were hit hard by the difficulty of the BOSS, sinister small monsters, and trap holes.
Players who sent blades to Cloud Dream in anger immediately sprouted like mushrooms after a rain.
Quentina watched as the administrative staff were basically receiving packages all day from the couriers of various local and regional delivery services.
— They’ve never hated the convenience of Daxia Logistics like they did today.
Because it was too outrageously convenient!

Many logistics companies could deliver 24 hours a day as long as they were paid extra!
In the afternoon, Randall and Fred came over with some of the “Chang’an” development team staff, wanting to see if there were any letters from players.
But their combined efforts yielded more than 100 packages, only 8 of which contained letters, with the rest being all kinds of blades!
Even those 8 letters didn’t have any complimentary remarks.
If posted online, more than half of the content would have to be censored!
As for the rest… they were just more refined, sophisticated insults and sarcasm!
In any case, they didn’t receive any favorable comments on the first day.
As for tomorrow…
Looking at the internet discussions about Shirley, Quentina had a premonition: forget about tomorrow, probably for the whole next week, there wouldn’t be any good words either.
Thinking of this, she put a stop to the administrative staff’s frenzy, placed a sign outside the company labeled “Temporary Package Drop-off Point”, and declared that everyone could go home.

The next day, when the Cloud Dream employees arrived at the entrance of the company, they witnessed an astonishing scene—
A dense mass of courier packages had piled up into a small hill in front of the company’s entrance, completely blocking the company’s gate.
Not only that, but delivery personnel from various companies in their vests were still arriving on their bouncing cars, pulling tricycles full of packages to add to the growing pile on this small hill.
— They were not unloading one package at a time from the tricycle, but rather a whole tricycle load of packages all at once!
Their final stroke of professional decency was displayed when they carefully unloaded the packages without knocking them around too much, and tried to stack them neatly on the pile rather than just dumping them haphazardly.
This had the effect of making the “mountain of packages” look even more astonishing!
Seeing this, the employees’ first thought was not how to move these items to get into the company, but rather—
To take out their phones and take a photo!
While they were taking pictures, they also shared them in the company group chat—
“This is ridiculous!
We can’t get into the company!”
“Never seen such a ludicrous thing in my life!”
“Awesome!
Where are the folks from the ‘Chang’an’ development team?
Come and receive the love from the players!”
“Looking at these continuously arriving couriers, I feel the company will be buried today, shouldn’t we stop them?”
“Hey you, still gawking here?
Stop these couriers!
Let them pile up on the side!
What’s the deal with blocking the gate?”
…
The Cloud Dream office group chat was buzzing first thing in the morning.
But actually, several hours earlier, the internet had already heated up even earlier than them.
The pile of delivery packages at the door of Cloud Dream, which had mounted into a hill, had been discovered at daybreak and filmed and posted on the internet.
From that moment on, many players started to take action, asking their friends or netizens living in Xiajing City to send express deliveries to the Cloud Dream Company.
——And it’s the kind of sending ten or so courier boxes in one go.
By the time the Cloud Dream employees came to work and found that they couldn’t get into the company, as they were all blocked outside and couriers were still continuously arriving, making the pile even higher, the topic’s heat online exploded even more!
“Live long enough, and you’ll see everything!”
“Are these all sent by the players?
So many?”
“But why would they be piled up at the company’s front door?
There’s no one at the company.
Shouldn’t they wait for someone to come and then deliver?”
“I get it!
Ɲ0νǤᴑ.ƈο
Because when they closed yesterday, Cloud Dream put up a sign at the door for the delivery man to place parcels, but I guess they didn’t expect that the amount of parcels would be this outrageous.”
“Brothers, no more yapping!
I’m sending 20 delivery boxes to Cloud Dream right now!
Lincoln can’t always be messing with us, we need to give him a taste of his own medicine!”
“Charge!
I live in Xiajing City, I’m going to ship them now!
First, come 10 express ones!”
“Any other friends in Xiajing?
Help me send 20 big boxes!
Want to hire a same-city courier!
I’ll transfer you the money!”
“I’m in Xiajing, place your orders live!
If you need a proxy delivery, just private chat with me!”
…
Finally, players from all provinces realized that this was an opportunity to make life harder for Lincoln and the ‘Chang’an’ project team.
With intense emotions, they started to ship passionately!
They wanted to vent all their resentment from being beaten up by the BOSS and losing their sister in their prime years yesterday!
There was also a large number of bored netizens who hadn’t played ‘Dark Soul’ but found this event very entertaining.
They inexplicably joined in and began to ask locals in Xiajing to help send parcels to Cloud Dream.
It doesn’t matter what they were sending, what matters is that the box has to be big!
Heavy!
And the delivery has to be fast!
They were hoping to completely bury Cloud Dream Company!
The best thing would be to have Lincoln dig for a year!
…
…
But alas, that was of course impossible.
Lincoln was busy moving.
The digital upgrade of the new home was finally completed, as with Yue Pengju’s help, Lincoln finished packing and sealing items that he wouldn’t want others to see from the lab.
However, when Yue Pengju saw the self-made revolving electromagnetic heavy machine gun that was a staggering two and a half meters long in the depths of the lab, he was stunned.
As for this, Lincoln’s explanation was, “Game merch!
This is game merch!”
Yue Pengju thought for a long time with his eyebrows knit and couldn’t figure out which game of Cloud Dream would have such an outrageous item.
Especially, his intuition told him that this thing seemed like it could really fire!
“Is this really from a game?” Yue Pengju asked.
“Yes!” Lincoln was very firm, “But the game has not been completed yet, so don’t talk about it recklessly.”
Yue Pengju fell into contemplation.
He was wondering: Is there a hidden meaning in Lincoln’s words?
Like asking him to keep it a secret and not tell Henry about Lincoln “privately manufacturing heavy firepower”?
He was very torn.
The main reason for his dilemma was that he couldn’t determine whether the outrageous thing Lincoln made was a super high-level model merch, or a real deadly weapon that could actually fire.
This was tricky!
Lincoln had put things right in front of his eyes, but because he couldn’t understand it, he couldn’t make a judgment.
This made Yue Pengju feel like he hadn’t read enough books and urgently needed to make up for it.
Because he couldn’t decide, in the end, he could only help seal the boxes and wait for the security team to carry them.
— Even the security team couldn’t casually look at things in the lab.
Those items like the mechanical exoskeleton, the robotic arm with sharp metal claws, and the item that looked like some type of hand cannon, all made Yue Pengju feel like these weren’t things a serious scientific researcher would make.
But when facing Lincoln, he had nothing to say.
After all, these could indeed possibly be game merch!
After everything was packed and shipped off, Yue Pengju stood there feeling somewhat lost:
In the beginning, the game merch Lincoln made was just a loom.
Then, it turned into last century’s fighter jets and tanks and also a giant airship.
Afterward, it quickly turned into a 24-meter tall moving mech.
Now there were a bunch of “Sci-Fi” weapons he couldn’t understand.
Can these items really be considered game merch?
