Their gains were slowing down. While these stats didn’t include his edited video of their dungeon dive stream since that was not porn related—which ’only’ received 70k views overnight, showing just how hard getting a piece of the dungeon clearing pie was. Why would people watch them explore the F-rank beginner dungeon when others were fighting with dragons, demons, vampires, etc? It was a very cutthroat competition.
Their dwindling numbers showcased that the sudden burst of fame his unexpected victory over the A-tier awakened David brought in had lost its momentum.
The assassination attempt on the president and the products of ChronosX hitting the markets were much bigger news. The former presented a possible WWIII scenario, so a lot of doomsday sayers were having a field day making the public panic. Many people stayed in their homes due to the fear of some Russian awakened army invading their homes or nukes being dropped on their heads.
The latter development, meanwhile, presented a much more annoying issue. ChronosX was bringing the adult scene of the awakened media platform to the public’s eye. It was safe to say that they were making it mainstream. Their videos were easily sitting on hundreds of millions of views, if not more. Furthermore, they had multiple dozens of them, and they released many more every day.
They were the benefactor of the idiom ’early bird gets the worm.’ If one wanted to watch adult videos on the platform, it was synonymous in most people’s minds that they should look for the ChronosX page. The incredible advertising budget was paying dividends already, but they diligently kept their ad efforts up as well. Flyers, airplane-drawn banners, social media influencers, and many more methods were utilized to bring ChronosX into the limelight. They were very thorough.
Furthermore, while they did sell their mana cameras to the public, they asked for an arm and a leg in exchange.
3,000. That was the asking price. No, not dollars, but Chronos. This meant one had to shill out $300,000 to get one. ChronosX was saying, ’You want in on the action? Sure, we encourage competition. Come and buy it.’ freewēbnoveℓ.com
Kaiden didn’t know how much they spent on R&D, but that was an outrageous asking price. He had no plans on buying one, even though having a third-person camera would’ve made their videos better. Kaiden refused to give the scumbag behind the ChronosX company his money, even if he could afford it. Sadly, people weren’t in agreement with him on this point, as despite the price, the cameras were selling like hotcakes, earning the company an insane sum of money.
Their products were a giant leap in technological advancement. While they couldn’t replace the mana cameras of old which were found inside the dungeons because those were extremely durable and thus perfect to record superhuman fights, the captured footage of the ChronosX products was miles ahead if one were to record in ideal settings—namely, anywhere peaceful where no one tried to cause giant explosions all over the place.
Thus, the awakened who couldn’t participate in dungeon clears due to having a horribly weak class—or just because they were cowards—invested their life savings and probably also went into immense debt to start their own adult filming business ventures.
It was not necessarily a bad decision, Kaiden thought. As stated before, the early bird gets the worm, and if the buyers of these cameras could use the products to take even a terribly small cut of the pie that was the rapidly booming awakened porn industry, they could become rich.
Kaiden was forced to emerge from his musings when wet schlicking sounds came from between his legs, where, upon further inspection, he found a curious Nyx eyeing him with his donger etched deep inside her throat. Luna was still peacefully sleeping in his right arm, evidenced by her rhythmical, gentle exhales, but it seemed Nyx was eager to get the day going.
