Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

However, when Camille Victoria put down the jar and planned to move on, a teammate kicked it out of boredom and “bang!” Three torches, two silver coins, and eight ropes burst out.

“??” The four of them were stunned.

They then started kicking jars enthusiastically.

After smashing all the jars, they got eight glow sticks, 14 darts, 18 hand grenades, three memory potions, five weak healing potions, and various herbs and seeds.

Looking at the glow sticks and hand grenades in her hand, Camille Victoria blinked confusedly and asked her teammates and the audience: “What kind of background does this game have? Why are there glow sticks and hand grenades?”

Checking the copper pickaxes and short swords worn by everyone then looking at the hand grenades, she really couldn’t figure it out.

But the game still had to go on.

Everyone divided the items and continued to explore.

When they reached a deep cave, they even found a wooden treasure chest.

Camille Victoria happily ran over to open it and directly received eight iron ingots, six glass bottles, six purple crystals, twelve pieces of yellow jade, three larger bombs, and more coins.

Observing the eight iron ingots from Yi’s live broadcast room and thinking about how Yi hadn’t discovered any iron ore yet, the comments began to send question marks:

“??”

“Is it that in this mod, ores aren’t mined underground?”

“Is this the proper way to play the game?”

“Poor Yi for a second!”

“You guys chat, I’m going to persuade that naive child.”

…

Camille Victoria was thrilled to have collected so many good items along the way and went on with her three teammates without paying attention to the comments.

So, she missed the barrage of comments from the audience warning her “not to go down” after they sent question marks.

By this time, they had already traveled quite a distance.

Although the cave looked normal, outside of the cave, the sky was getting darker, and night was about to fall.

As a group, Camille Victoria and the others had steadily moved deeper into the underground, initially not feeling much pressure; an occasional slime or two would be easily dealt with using their darts.

But slowly, more slimes began to appear, dropping one by one from above with a “plop”, and the darts were soon used up.

Then they switched to hand grenades, blowing them up while continuing deeper into the cave.

As a result, the slimes became more and more numerous, giving chase from behind and coming from the front nonstop.

In such a narrow cave environment, the parabolic trajectory of the hand grenades wasn’t better than the straight line of the darts, and several hand grenades missed and exploded in the air due to the bouncing slimes.

Here, the hand grenades didn’t have a ten-meter debris killing radius; their actual damage range was small.

Running and running, they even found themselves at a dead end.

“Shall we go back the way we came?” a teammate suggested.

“What’s the point of going back? This is Block World, just dig a way out! Maybe we can even find some ore!”

Witnessing this comment from those who came from Yi’s live broadcast room, made the audience’s mouths agape.

However, Camille Victoria didn’t see anything wrong and proposed: “Copper pickaxes are too slow. Make some space and let’s use bombs directly!”

She had carefully read the system notes: hand grenades couldn’t blow up terrain, but big bombs could!

Three teammates stepped back to make room.

Camille Victoria picked up a bomb and threw it at the cave wall in front of her.

The bomb ignited automatically the moment it left her hands and accurately hit the cave wall, showing that Camille Victoria’s hand-grenade skills in “Battlefield” hadn’t gone to waste.

The only problem was: the fuse of the bomb hadn’t burned out yet…

So, the round and rolling big bomb hit the cave wall with a “dong” sound, bounced back, and just happened to roll back under their feet.

“F***!” Her teammates were horrified, and Camille Victoria immediately turned and ran.

But as soon as she took one step, the fuse burned out, and then-

“Boom!”

A loud explosion.

All four of them had an “out-of-body” experience as their souls watched their own bodies being blown away, turning into four tombstones as they hit the ground.

A line of text appeared in front of the four people-

[You saw your internal organs turn into “outer organs,” the killer was Camille Victoria’s bomb]

[Character has died]

“…”

“…”

Both the in-game and in the live broadcast room fell into awkward silence.

Soon, the audience started reacting:

“Quadra Kill in one second!”

“A hundred-star bomberman!”

“What a pity, all those jars and opened treasure chests gone.”

…

Fortunately, the game had just begun. After a few seconds of confusion, the teammates laughed out loud one by one.

Even after logging back into the game, they couldn’t stop laughing at Camille Victoria.

Camille Victoria got angry and embarrassed: “Enough of you!”

“Keep laughing and I’ll aim a bomb at you next time!”

“Alright, alright, we’re not laughing anymore. Let’s try exploring in another direction this time,” one teammate suggested while holding back laughter.

After a player character dies, only the items they were carrying and those stored in their backpack are deleted, but the map is not deleted and can be further explored.

Of course, you can also choose to create a new map and start over.

Each player can create up to ten maps at most simultaneously. If they want to create more, they must delete an old one first.

Of course, if you don’t want to delete anything, Cloud Dream kindly provides an expansion service- pay-to-win map creation.

For only $88, you can increase the map limit by five.

If that’s not enough, you can continue; you can increase it to a maximum of simultaneously saving 100 maps!

Yes, the “Terraria” mod has a revenue channel and isn’t purely free.

In Lincoln’s plan, this was also a long-term operation, and to maintain the game’s ecosystem, the operation team needed continued updates.

Besides the pay-to-win option for increasing the map limit, the player’s “character configuration” is another.

According to different weapon usage and combat methods in “Terraria,” characters can develop into different professions, such as soldiers, archers, mages, or summoners.

Each profession can have a different configuration of equipment, items, accessories, etc.

Cloud Dream is providing five free [Configuration Bars], allowing players to save five different character configuration schemes. Normally, it should be enough to meet all of a player’s gaming needs.

In cases where players still want more [Configuration Bars] despite having enough, they will need to pay more.

Camille Victoria accepted her teammate’s suggestion, and the group of four changed directions and continued exploring.

Meanwhile, Yi was indulged in digging and couldn’t help himself!

Although his viewers were saying that he chose the wrong way to play the game, he firmly believed that there would be a gain if he made an effort.

He persisted in digging deeper and deeper, until-

He saw the familiar minecart tracks!
