Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Although Yue Pengju felt undeserving, he couldn’t resist Lincoln’s insistence and eventually accepted his offer.

He once again reminded himself in his heart: Never let Lincoln suffer any harm!

After sending Henry away, he was about to express his gratitude to Lincoln when his face changed and he quickly rushed to the bathroom in search of a toilet.

He swore to himself: if he ever ate such spicy hot pot again, he’d be a dog!

The next day, Wednesday, there was a knock on the door early in the morning.

But Lincoln had already gotten up early and opened the door immediately.

This was the first time Ruan Pingyi had successfully knocked on Lincoln’s door, which surprised her a bit.

However, she seemed in a hurry and simply handed over the file bag in her hand to Lincoln.

“I’ve found a lawyer for you, and all the qualifications are complete. This is the practicing license. I’ve told them in advance that they can stay for a maximum of half a year. Once the lawsuit is over, they’ll leave.”

Lincoln opened the file bag, took a look at the practicing license and the seal inside, nodded in satisfaction and thanked her: “Thank you very much, it’s a hassle for you to come here early in the morning. Would you like to come in for a drink of water?”

“No need, I have urgent matters to attend to. The contact information for the lawyer is inside. I’ve already told him that you can contact him anytime.”

After finishing her words, Assistant Ruan waved goodbye to Lincoln and left without dawdling.

Lincoln saw that everything was in order, so he called the number left by Assistant Ruan and arranged to meet the lawyer in an hour.

He wanted to sue these rumor-mongers as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.

Making an example of them would always be more effective than mere verbal threats.

He even asked Lorin to find a few lavvyers who would help to secure the qualifications needed to establish the law firm, turning the joke he made about the “Awesome Law Firm” into reality.

He even found a top-notch lawyer to join and help him with this defamation case.

However, the prestigious lawyers were not too fond of such a humorous name.

Eventually, Ruan Pingyi managed to persuade them to stay for half a year, after which they would leave once the case was over.

Basically, Lincoln was paying for the establishment of a law firm solely for this case, and once the lawsuit was over, the firm would be disbanded.

Admittedly, it had a childish element to it.

However, Lincoln really wanted to see the expression on the faces of those three media outlets when they found out they were being sued by the “Daxia Awesome Law Firm’s Xiajing Branch Office”. Surely it would be quite entertaining!

He just regretted not being able to see it firsthand!

The meeting didn’t take much of Lincoln’s time.

After all, most of the related information was already explained when Ruan Pingyi found the lawyer.

With Mavis having retained all the relevant evidence from the beginning, winning the lawsuit would not be difficult with such clear evidence and facts.

However, the lawyer named Luke still made it clear to Lincoln in advance: “We will win the lawsuit, but the compensation may not be very high. Also, the other party may seek pre-trial mediation. What do you think?”

“I’d prefer them to go to court, but if they offer high compensation during mediation, I can accept it.”

Lincoln explained his motives to the lawyer: “I don’t care about the money. I want them to go to court to make them suffer. If they only care about money, I

can accept the mediation as long as the compensation is high enough to hurt them.”

“Of course, there’s one more thing,” Lincoln added: “A public apology is a must.”

Luke nodded and said, “I understand, Mr. Lin, please sign this power of attorney agreement, and leave the rest to me.”

Lincoln signed the agreement decisively, thus settling the matter.

He didn’t even bother to visit the “Daxia Awesome Law Firm”, which nominally belonged to him but in reality had only one receptionist girl.

This girl was just looking for a place to study and prepare for her graduate school entrance examination while earning a salary.

Cloud Dream Studio.

Princess Camille Victoria seemed restless.

Although she had been busy with other things a couple of days ago, she still found out about the Easter egg through the small workgroup at the studio.

After that, she had been in deep thought, wondering what kind of Easter egg she should put in, and finally, she came up with a very interesting idea.

The problem was that this thing might affect the key factor of the game, so she had to ask Lincoln for his approval.

As soon as she came to the intern job this morning, Camille Victoria couldn’t wait to find Lincoln and she hadn’t seen him in days!

But Lincoln never showed up, so all she could do was wait listlessly.

In the end, she didn’t wait for Lincoln, but received a big, bad news from Shuihua!

Since meeting, Camille Victoria and Shuihua have always been good friends and they both believed that nothing would change that.

But Camille Victoria’s smart brain hindered them from growing up together to some extent, because she was always skipping grades.

During the junior and senior high school years, it was fine since Camille Victoria skipped from the middle school to high school.

Both schools were close by, making it easy for them to meet and play together.

But Camille Victoria’s skipping speed was too fast, and Shuihua couldn’t keep up with that.

So now, Camille Victoria has started her senior year internship, while Shuihua is preparing for college entrance exams in her third year of high school

Many people Camille Victoria met in middle school felt inferior to her because of her outstanding qualities and consciously kept their distance from her.

Shuihua was the only exception, as she tried hard to study and catch up with her best friend after realizing Camille Victoria was skipping grades.

But after just two weeks of struggle, she saw through the world’s disparities and chose to lie down and relax.

However, Shuihua’s thinking was different from that of ordinary people. Perhaps because she had always had the model “other people’s child” Lance around her, she didn’t feel like “She’s so outstanding, I’m so inferior, I should stay away from you.”

On the contrary, she immediately thought, “Such a smart and powerful girl must be my best friend!”

This girl was like a little sun, always radiating warmth to the heart, which was an important factor in their growing close relationship.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the introverted Camille Victoria to get close to unfamiliar people so quickly.

Now, Patricia has become Camille Victoria’s most treasured and best friend.

Today, Camille Victoria’s best friend Shuihua took out her secretly hidden mobile phone during the lunch break of her high school senior makeup class.

She was planning to surf the internet and rest!

As soon as she switched to her small account, a good friend sent her a message: “Brother, I found a good opportunity to make money. Don’t say I didn’t think about you!”

There was also an invitation to join the group.

As mentioned earlier, Shuihua was an expert in surfing the internet, and she had many small accounts online.

These small accounts were not just for show; many of them disguised as different identities. When Shuihua was bored, she would switch to different small accounts and chat with various netizens using different identities.

This invited account had a profile picture of a middle-aged bald man, with information stating he was 42 years old, and a personal signature with just two words: “Make Money!”

His setting was: a 42-year-old divorced uncle with the last name Lin, and a bastard son who wouldn’t study but played games all day long.

Out of fatherly love for his son, “he” worked several jobs just to save enough money to buy his son the latest “Flying Dragon 3rd Generation” VR equipment to help him achieve his “professional player” dream.

But “he” felt that his son didn’t inherit any of his good qualities, and was a bit too ugly to become a professional player.

So he was desperate to make money, and if his bastard son was unwilling to turn around, he would use the money to get him plastic surgery.

Lately, “he” was very annoyed that his bastard son was pestering him to buy Cloud Dream’s Mirage console, which worried him to no end….
