Chapter 100: Chapter 98: Wonderful Misunderstanding
Translator: 549690339
Originally, the agreement was for them to start their job on Monday.
But because Lincoln was quite random in the way he carried out his tasks, he inadvertently made an extra phone call.
As a result, not only did he end up working overtime for two days in a row, but Camille Victoria’s start date was also postponed to today.
Lincoln logged into the world of “Assassins’ Alliance” and didn’t greet the busy employees, but went again to the café where he had previously spent time with Randall and Little Chun.
This was an area that had already been completed and employees wouldn’t usually come here.
Just to be safe, however, Lincoln first partitioned this café into a separate instance before sending Camille Victoria an invitation.
Camille Victoria had been waiting eagerly and immediately clicked to accept the invitation.
A teleportation gate, shimmering with rippling water, appeared in front of her. Cautiously, she stepped through the gate and found herself inside the café.
“Good morning,” Lincoln greeted, waving his hand.
The princess lowered her head and smiled, “It’s more like good afternoon now, not morning.”
“It’s all the same. Sit.” Lincoln indicated to the seat in front of him. “What do you want to drink?”
Camille Victoria playfully blinked, “Is there anything non-coffee?”
“Of course, order whatever you like.” Lincoln snapped his fingers and a glass of iced cola appeared in front of him. He took a satisfying swig.
“Then I want red bean milk tea!” the princess spoke gleefully, “In reality, I wouldn’t dare to drink something so high in calories.”
After she finished, she looked at Lincoln’s right hand, waiting for him to snap his fingers.
However, Lincoln didn’t move. Instead, a person came out from inside the café carrying a freshly made cup of red bean milk tea and set it down in front of the princess.
Camille Victoria was startled and she whispered, ‘Who is that?”
“An NPC, no need to worry.” Lincoln gestured for her to drink.
Thankfully, the princess didn’t order a peculiar drink. If she had ordered something he hadn’t drunk before, the taste might not have been authentic. Moreover, the more unfamiliar the drink was to Lincoln, the stranger the taste might be.
The princess sipped the milk tea through her straw, closing her eyes in satisfaction, looking very content.
Lincoln reached out with two fingers, tapped in mid-air, and a transparent panel appeared. He slid the panel over to Camille Victoria.
“Here, you can modify your virtual world appearance, you can change it to whatever you want,” he said.
Without wasting any time, Camille Victoria immediately started adjusting her appearance.
She was very clear about the fact that she was here to train, not to play. Seeing that she was getting preferential treatment, she had no intention of fine-tuning her perfect figure for too long.
It only took her 10 minutes to finish.
Now, her true appearance was merely a faint trace. Unless one knew her well, it wouldn’t be possible to recognize her.
Even if they were familiar, most of them might just think that this girl looks rather elegant, somewhat similar to the princess.
“Come over here.” Seeing that the princess was so efficient, Lincoln wasted no time, opened a transmission gate, picked up his cola and walked through.
The princess hesitated, looking at the red bean milk tea on the table that she had only taken a few sips of, she picked it up.
But then she thought about the fact that there would be a lot of unfamiliar colleagues on the other side of the teleportation gate, and she frowned a little. She suddenly took a big gulp of her drink.
Stamping her foot in frustration, she finally made the choice to let go of her drink and walked towards the teleportation gate.
As she stepped through the gate, before Camille Victoria could even get a proper look at her surroundings, she was startled by a sudden loud noise.
She lifted up her head to see a bridge not far from her exploding, a train derailing and breaking apart, accompanied by the shrill sounds of metal grinding and twisting, slowly falling over the broken part of the railway.
Even in the face of this deadly peril, one could still make out the huddled crowds within the train, continuously trading gunfire, causing sparks to fly about in the air.
She was on edge, instinctively moving closer to Lincoln.
This was the train crash sequence featured in the trailer, the employees were fine-tuning the NPC’s behavior and intelligence, testing the impact of environmental parameter changes.
Lincoln did not interrupt them, he stood silently by the side, watching with them as the train crash sequence completed.
With the plot developed to this point, the main story was not far from completion.
Only after they had recorded all the data, did Lincoln gently interrupt and introduce the new intern at Dream Cloud Studio — “Victoria” — to everyone, indicating the team to take a break.
This was just a small amusement of Lincoln’s part; since the studio already has an intern nicknamed “Little Chun,” thus it would only be reasonable that a “Victoria” follows suit!
He even idly wondered if one day they’d be able to gather an intern for each season, finding the thought amusing!
After some simple introductions, everyone returned to their tasks. After all, it’s just a new intern, not a boss.
Of course, no one would be foolish enough to bully this intern.
After all, it was the big boss himself who introduced them personally, it was clear that she was no ordinary intern.
Definitely a high-ranking intern.
After meeting everyone, Lincoln signaled Randall and Little Chun, then returned to the café.
Randall and Little Chun also followed.
When Princess Camille Victoria saw the red bean milk tea she had left in place, she happily picked it up and took a sip, instantly looking cheerful.
Lincoln sat next to Camille Victoria, then nodded at Randall and Little Chun across the table, “There’s something I need to discuss with you guys.”
Then he looked at Camille Victoria.
Seeing Lincoln looking at her, Camille Victoria quickly put down her red bean milk tea, and pulled out her panel, temporarily deactivating her virtual appearance adjustment before reintroducing herself to Randall and Little Chun.
“Nice to meet you both, I am Camille Victoria. I will start my internship at Cloud Dream today. I am determined to learn and work hard! I hope the two of you, my mentors, will guide me.”
The moment Princess Camille Victoria deactivated her virtual appearance modification, Randall and Little Chun instantly widened their eyes, shocked to see the princess in front of them.
Listening to Camille Victoria’s words, they were even more stunned.
The princess … is coming to Cloud Dream … for an internship?
Randall tried hard to clear his thoughts. Why would the princess want to intern? And to an intern at a game company?
It doesn’t make sense, it was unheard of for a member from the royal family to work in an office, while male family members have been known to detach from the royal family, they take up regular jobs and start families.
The women usually engage in various charitable activities and once married, they tend to take care of their families. Who’s ever heard of them working in offices?
Even going so far as to create a fake virtual image to avoid recognition?
So, there must be some other motive for Princess Camille Victoria coming to work at Cloud Dream Studio, right? Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense! What could her motive be? It definitely can’t be to create games!
Is there something at Cloud Dream that caught her eye?
Randall looked up at the serious-faced Camille Victoria, and next to her, Lincoln, who was casually sipping his cola.
In a moment of clarity, it felt as if he’d understood Princess Camille Victoria’s purpose!
He turned to look at Little Chun, whose eyes were also shining. The two of them saw the answer in each other’s eyes and shared a knowing smile, reaching a consensus.
Randall and Little Chun marveled inwardly: “Is this what they call risking everything for love? Who would have thought that the Princess, who appears so reserved and shy, could be so brave!”
