Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 714: Chapter 677: Breaking the Barrier

In today’s Daxia, this data should be worthless.

Even for a small number of researchers who have not participated in the [Rehabilitation Plan], if they want a copy of the data for research, they only need to wait for a few days. If the platform does not ban such a “product,” its price will almost certainly fall very low.

After all, there are 130 million data sets in Daxia.

With such a number, it is really difficult to sell at a high price.

Even if people are worried that this “data product” may be taken down and want to buy it now, sporadic domestic demand is not enough to support this market.

However, the sudden appearance of overseas buyers has become an unexpected buyer, and-

The demand is quite considerable!

Several IP addresses located in America and the United Kingdom have made consecutive purchases, buying more than a dozen data sets in a very short time, spending more than 600,000!

Almost all the data listed on the shelf were bought by them as soon as they were listed, with an astonishing purchasing power.

Obviously, not only Daxia’s institutions are curious about Cloud Dream technology, but also many overseas institutions.

Even if this is only the tip of the iceberg of technology export, they are not willing to miss a single bit.

As a result, more and more data packages were listed on Sweet Fish.

Even though some people are worried about the risks of data leakage overseas, and constantly reminding everyone on the Internet to be vigilant, they can’t stop more and more people from listing their own data.

Some enthusiastic netizens even urgently posted @Cloud Dream, Lincoln, Sweet Fish, and even to the network police, hoping that they would stop such behavior.

The vigilance of enthusiastic netizens is very encouraging.

But they are indeed worrying too much.

Since the data has been released openly by Lincoln, it means that this thing is not dangerous.

It does have value, but at most, it can only slightly advance the academic understanding of brain thinking and language signals and contribute a little value to the development of neuroscience theory.

—Though not much, after all, they can’t see the neural signal data before translation, only the translated results.

Moreover, without Cloud Dream’s neural modulator-demodulator, this data is almost impossible to utilize, let alone penetrate the commonality between different players’ data, find differences, and then study some far-fetched technologies like “controlling Daxia people’s thoughts.”

As for advancing the development of basic scientific theories…

It’s just Cloud Dream’s contribution to the scientific community.

So facing the concern of enthusiastic netizens, Lincoln only posted a “sleepy” [zzZ] post as a response.

The reason for not being more explicit is because he doesn’t want to delay users from making money.

Lincoln’s statement effectively alleviated the tension of netizens, and more users began to list their own data packages for extra income.

Thus, the big price reduction began.

Before Cloud Dream got off work in the afternoon, the price of this “data package” dropped from tens of thousands of pieces to just over 800.

At this point, the price basically stabilized.

After all, it’s data about one’s own “thinking” and “language,” and when the price is low to a certain extent, many people will not want to sell it anymore.

And the institutions and individuals who want to get the data have basically got the data and started their research.

The small wave caused by the Rehabilitator Plan Database slowly subsided.

But this is obviously not the end. When the upgraded [Eight Sides] entered the overseas market, and when the “Pacific Rim” began its promotion, the waves will inevitably rise again.

…

…

At 6 pm in the evening, a special live streaming event began-

[Fortnite Night]

This spoof name was chosen by Cloud Dream Live Broadcast Platform staff, by learning from Lincoln, through player voting.

Although the name is a bit absurd, this event is actually very meaningful, because it will be an event that completely breaks the barriers between live streaming platforms.

Before the birth of Cloud Dream Live Streaming, the three major domestic website live streaming platforms and the two major mobile live streaming platforms were in fierce competition with each other.

In the contracts they signed with the top streamers, it is clearly stipulated that “interaction with streamers from other platforms is not allowed without permission, and other live streaming platforms and streamers should not be mentioned during live broadcasts.”

This is almost an unspoken rule.

But after the establishment of the Cloud Dream Live Streaming Platform, this rule has been shaken.

Because under Lincoln’s advice, the streamers from the Cloud Dream Live Streaming Platform love to mention whoever they want to mention and play with whoever they want to play with.

Cloud Dream imposes no restrictions whatsoever.

In Lincoln’s eyes, live streaming platforms have never been competitors.

However, the limitations of other platforms are still troublesome.

Since Lincoln’s last live stream, where he played games with streamers from multiple platforms, he asked Leander to find a solution to break this barrier.

Leander didn’t disappoint and successfully completed Lincoln’s request.

In fact, as early as last Wednesday, the relevant agreements had already been signed, and the following few days were spent in communication between the major platforms and their streamers.

This communication was concluded the day before yesterday.

Everything went incredibly smoothly—

All live streaming platforms that negotiated with Leander surrendered without a struggle, even joyfully raising their hands to surrender.

That’s because the traffic of Cloud Dream Live Streaming had already overwhelmed them.

Since the establishment of Cloud Dream Live Broadcast Platform, they have been keeping an eye on its traffic curve.

They don’t have precise data, but a trend estimation does not require such precision.

All it takes is to compare the average heat index of streamers across different platforms at specific times and with a specific number of fans.

They don’t even need to put in much effort, as many media outlets and video uploaders have taken it upon themselves to do this analysis for them.

They compiled the data into a dynamic curve that showcased the astonishing growth of Cloud Dream Live Streaming.

Unlike other platforms that saw a gradual decline after the launch of Cloud Dream, this platform continuously grew, and with each passing week, there was a steep climb like a stepping stone.

Everyone knew where this “stepping stone” came from—

Overseas, Cloud Dream added more consoles and expanded its user base.

This terrifying growth rate brought not only vast overseas audiences but also many overseas streamers.

Cloud Dream’s powerful real-time translation feature largely broke the language barrier, allowing streamers and audiences from different countries to communicate smoothly and creating an active community.

—Though there was a downside: international conflicts often occurred in live stream rooms.

Cultural clashes, conceptual conflicts, standpoint conflicts, geographical conflicts, and even religious conflicts…

All kinds of debates emerged endlessly.

Many people’s words would have gotten their accounts banned, or even led to social death if they were in their home countries.

But on Cloud Dream Live Streaming Platform, nothing happened.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Topics like religious sarcasm, political mockery, racial discrimination, or LGBTQ+ issues, which are taboo in many countries, can be discussed on Cloud Dream without the platform banning users for their opinions.

Cloud Dream’s handling rules are: as long as you don’t go against humanity, engage in extremism, terrorism, openly discuss illegal content, or insult and threaten others, you can speak your mind.

In simple terms, Cloud Dream would not interfere with users’ thoughts and opinions but would intervene in their means of expression.

You can say: “I don’t like XXX”, “XXX must be sick in the head”, “I’m disgusted by XXX”.

But you can’t say: “XXX should go die”, “I want to kill XXX”.

So, as long as you master the correct “language art”, you can dominate in various live stream rooms.

Of course, where there’s a confrontational atmosphere, there’s also a friendly one.

In this regard, good-looking male streamers and beautiful female anchors have significant advantages.

Especially when it comes to European “wealthy and generous” female anchors who dare to dress provocatively, their live broadcast rooms are like a peaceful haven, with the atmosphere being excellent and netizens of different nationalities getting along harmoniously, everyone being friendly.

An unwritten and almost universally known rule is: the better-looking you are and the less you wear, the friendlier the atmosphere in the live stream room.

This proves that some things are universally true.

…

In short, with the current overwhelming traffic of Cloud Dream, the collaboration between other platforms’ streamers and Cloud Dream’s hosts is not Cloud Dream taking advantage, but them taking advantage of Cloud Dream.

Of course, there is no reason to refuse!

As for today’s event, it is not only for promoting “Fortnite” but also a special announcement, meant to tell all audiences:

The barriers of the live streaming industry have been breached.

From now on, streamers from all platforms are no longer restricted and can freely play with whoever they are interested in.
