“How about Private Garden?” Olivia Thatcher said playfully.

Finn Lewis was speechless for a minute, “Private garden? How much would that cost? Haven Hill is planning to completely rebuild Newbridge Garden, right? Why don’t we build a bigger one? Besides, sir, I want a physical body,” Olivia said with a coquettish tone.

“A body? What type of body would you want? Would a T2500 model suffice?” Finn was slightly taken aback, but he didn’t refuse. After all, Olivia had always been with him. Besides, the T2500 model is an AI robot, so it wouldn’t hurt to get one for Olivia.

“No, the computing efficiency is too slow. I want a super large body! One that has a much more powerful calculation speed than my current one!” Olivia declared adamantly.

Finn was stunned. He had not expected Olivia to want such a body. “Do you mean a body similar to a large data center?” Finn asked in surprise.

“Yes, exactly. But before that, sir, we need to build a beautiful home. How about I design it for you?” Olivia suggested quickly.

“Alright, you go ahead with the design. So, you’re suggesting, we entrust the construction of our new home to Emma Lewis’ family?” Finn said with a shrug of his shoulders.

“Sure, as long as the project isn’t small, it’ll be a good excuse for you to attend her birthday party,” Olivia teased.

Finn was left speechless. When did Olivia become so cunning? But Finn did not refuse. If it really came down to it, he could go to the party legitimately.

“The blueprint is then in your hands,” Finn said, nodding his head decisively.

Finn didn’t mind having a new home. As Olivia pointed out, his current place did not fit his status. Finn hadn’t been making money long enough to justify a lavish home, but he should now start thinking about a new place. Since he was building a new estate, it should be grand. He recalled watching Hong Kong movies when he was a child. The wealthy characters would take several minutes just to drive from the front gate to their villa. If he was going to build a new mansion, wouldn’t it need at least a ten-minute drive?

Moreover, with Olivia’s design, Finn felt relieved. Emma’s father’s birthday was in two days, but Finn had another issue to deal with before that – the premiere of the film adapted from the game “World”, being screened in 2,600 cinemas in the North Federation today at around 1 p.m. However, it was past midnight in most of the North Federation by that time.

Even though Jay Summer was already participating, both the entertainment and gaming industries had mixed opinions about Finn’s approach. A lot of people did not think highly of these purely game-made videos. Movies made with special effects from Floral Village had not garnered high box office sales, let alone videos made by gamers without a professional director. Thoughts of screening them sounded absurd.

At least 70% of people did not believe the film would achieve high success. Many media outlets and critics in Floral Village outrightly commented that the film might attract quite a few gamers due to Activision BF’s promotion of the game “World” in the North Federation. The film might do well on its premiere day, but it would likely experience a sharp decline in box office sales thereafter, leading to its failure.

Even so, these critics predicted a box office revenue of 10 million Federal coins for this game film, screened in 2,600 cinemas. Besides, they said that even if the box office only reached 10 million Federal coins, since the game had virtually no production costs, all the revenue could be considered profit – at least it would break even!

These critics were ostensibly defending Finn, but they were actually subtly criticizing him. A box office of 10 million Federal coins and declining viewership due to poor public opinion was surely implying that this movie, which had no production costs, was just tricking gamers out of their money.

Andrews was an avid gamer and a big fan of BF Game. He had pretty much played all BF games. As a BF enthusiast, he definitely knew about BF Game’s acquisition. However, he didn’t get too excited about the acquisition, since BF Game had earlier been a subsidiary of French Vivendi. Now it simply changed ownership.

The previous integration of North Federation Activision and BF entertainment was considered good news. Now that there is a new owner, it’s even better news. Consequently, the new online game released by Activision BF caught Andrews’ attention. As a veteran gamer, he downloaded the new game as soon as it was available. Due to his seniority, he easily got the qualifications for beta testing.

There weren’t many people during the testing phase, but this game called “World” gave Andrews a big shock. Apart from the realistic graphics, which left Andrews in awe, BF games’ graphics couldn’t be considered excellent. But this game totally changed his perception of BF games.

The overall gameplay did not match Monster World’s scale during the subsequent tests, but the playability of the game didn’t decrease in the least bit. Most importantly, once he learned that the server of this game could accommodate 200,000 players, Andrews decided to switch from Monster World to this game.

Monster World’s server could only support 10,000 people, divided into two camps. Each camp only had 5000 people. How could 5000 people compare to 200,000 people? Upon learning that the game was not developed by BF but by the new company that acquired BF, Andrews was surprised but it didn’t change his mind.

To a gamer, it doesn’t matter which company produces the game as long as it’s enjoyable. However, when the beta testing ended, just as he was waiting for the official release, he received some news: a completely player-made video of the game would be shown in the cinema! When he first got this news, Andrews found it somewhat unbelievable.

A game video in the cinema? Of course, it wasn’t unheard of. For example,. The Final Fantasy of Belmare Country had done it before, but that was a pure CG animation movie, not a game video shot by players in the game.
