All Novel Full Chapter 1009
Chapter 1009: Chapter 937 [Forgotten Cemetery]_1 Chapter 1009: Chapter 937 [Forgotten Cemetery]_1 Giselle’s “business strategy” was simple and clear –
There would be many people without the patience to slowly improve their stick weapon combat skills, so a secret book that could enhance their proficiency in a short period will undoubtedly be popular!
Where there is demand, there is a market.
So, buying up as much as possible is the right move!
The only problem was the other competitors.
Not only are there players purchasing for their own needs, but there are also merchants who have realized the “commercial value” of these secret books and are attempting to hoard them.
After all, Yi’s influence as a top anchor isn’t to be underestimated – he has inspired countless players and merchants.
Not just Yi, the first batch of anchors who followed Cloud Dream’s pace have an astonishing influence, especially when a new game releases, or a new event is launched – tens of millions of viewers gather in their live streaming rooms!
The influence of top-rated anchors is undoubtedly immense.
Super Tomato and Victoria, also top anchors, demonstrated their influence from different angles –
After completing the prologue task, Victoria too discovered a brand-new story route.
Unlike Yi, who actively joined, and unlike Super Tomato, who flatly refused on the spot, Victoria’s approach was to agree, but not entirely.
She agreed to rejoin the Hunter Project, but not as a [Mecha Pilot], but as a [Logistics] staff member.
While Super Tomato was sawing off the bones inside the monster’s corpse, Victoria joined the military’s maintenance group, dove into the [Horizon Warrior], checked the condition of the mechs, and after finally confirming that the mechs were no longer worth repairing, she collected valuable components on the spot.

Dismantling the “giant”, Victoria’s experience was much more comfortable than Super Tomato’s.
After completing this job, her next step wasn’t to go to Hong Kong, but to transport the damaged [Horizon Warrior] to the [Forgotten Cemetery] with the maintenance department.
All retired or severely damaged and even destroyed mechs end up here.
Looking from above, Victoria saw scrapped mechs, dismantled to the point where not even the skeleton was complete, standing like immense tombstones on this vast, polluted land that resembles a rubbish heap.
But this was no ordinary rubbish heap, everything that seemed like “trash” was remnants of a mech.
Almost 99% of the materials were made of various metals, inclusive of high-quality alloys, broken engines, actuators, sensors,…
and so on and so forth.
After all, each of these mechs, products of global governments collaborating, were crystallization of industry and incredibly valuable.
However, with the rapid iterations of the hunter mechs, the government’s willingness to invest, and the surge in production capacity during wartime, these mechs were not thoroughly dismantled and recycled because rebuilding was slower than directly manufacturing new ones.
A dense cloud of despair loomed over the cemetery.
The countless mech remnants easily reminded people of death, end, apocalypse and other negative words.
It was a place people instinctively didn’t want to approach.
But as the helicopter descended, Victoria was shocked to see that there were residents in this iron graveyard!
They were definitely not official personnel!
This area had long since been contaminated by the flesh and blood of monsters and was no longer suitable for human habitation.
Even twelve years later, an unpleasant smell still lingered in the air.
However, these people, they just had a cloth mask on their faces and they were walking around in this grave!
They could even see large areas of shanty towns they had built using the “rubbish” from the graveyard.
These houses could only provide basic shelter from the wind and rain, but the clothes hanging on the ropes at the entrance and the stacked water tanks, bicycles, plastic basins,…
and other living items, proved that they really did live here, and for a long time too!
From their dressing and the tools in their hands and on their backs, Victoria quickly understood why they had gathered here –
They were the scavengers of this cemetery, making a living by picking up trash from this iron graveyard.
The recently damaged [Horizon Warrior] was still an important source of income for them, even after the maintenance team had recovered many reusable components.
As the remnants of the mech landed and the transport helicopter let go of the cable, the scavengers rushed over impatiently, swarming over the mech’s body like ants, looking for anything valuable to dismantle, transport, sell and exchange for food, drink and living supplies.
Seeing this scene, Victoria and the viewers realized: this indeed was a world teetering on the brink of apocalypse.
The invasion of the monsters doesn’t just aim to cause destruction in the cities, nor merely to provide opponents for the players.
They truly caused massive destruction, displacing countless refugees struggling to survive.
“Pacific Rim…
is not just about fighting monsters…” Victoria looked at the scavengers who were even fighting over some “rubbish”, she couldn’t help but feel emotional, and even hesitated whether to go down and find out more about them.
She had an intuition that Cloud Dream must have hidden much in this place.
Only by getting closer to those who appear as tiny as ants from the sky and joining them can one truly understand them.
But unlike Victoria’s emotional ruminations, many viewers responded:
“The whole scene feels familiar!
Does it look like when we disassembled Lincoln’s mech during the Metropolis car race?
Are they making fun of us?!”
“No, they’re making fun of you!
Not me.”
“Don’t overreact, it’s just a coincidence.
Probably they add this to enrich the game world view.”
“Enough of that, that’s not important at all.
There’s someone down there riding a unicycle!
And he’s standing still!!”
“I think I saw someone with a mechanical arm, and he even modified his hand into a knife!?”
“Did someone build an exoskeleton out of this junk?
Is that an exoskeleton?!”
…
The viewers aren’t in the game world, they’re just watching the game through the live broadcast which is why they don’t share Victoria’s sentiment.
They were just curious about all the novelties.
Especially those outrageous modifications, which seemed to be made from scavenged materials found in a pile of trash in a cemetery.
This made them curious about the ecology of the [Forgotten Cemetery], thus –
“Yi, get down and have a look!”
“Streamer!
Become the king of trash!”
The live-streamer community was enthusiastic.
Victoria asked the nearby NPC, “Can we land nearby and let me have a look?”
“No, we can’t.” The pilot immediately shook his head.
“It’s too dangerous down there, we can’t just land anywhere.”
After saying that, the pilot begun to turn around, seemingly preparing to leave.
Victoria looked at the altitude – it was a suicidal height to jump from; then she eyed the helmet on the pilot’s head – probably too hard to knock him unconscious; she scanned the waists of the people around her – no weapons.
“Sigh.” With no other options, she sighed.
“See if anyone of you can explore, I surely can’t.”
While she was speaking, the helicopter had already adjusted its direction, the team left the [Forgotten Cemetery], heading with Victoria to the [Broken dome] in Hong Kong.
There, she will officially start her career as a logistics mechanic.
This was the typical “casual movie-watching player” route.
Choosing this route will position the player in the [VIP spectator zone], from where they can watch the entirety of “Pacific Rim” in an immersive setting.
Lincoln’s appraisal of this route was:
“Movies such as 4D, 5D are nothing compared to ours.”
Fred’s evaluation was much more straightforward.
He only had one word, “[36D movie]!”.
The moment Fred spat out those words, he was instantly slapped on the shoulder by Vincent, drawing a gasp of pain from him.
Victoria was off not just to watch, but to experience the movie, and the [Forgotten Cemetery] disappeared from the live broadcast lens.
——As per the design of the development team, scenes outside of the main missions, will open to players all at once after the completion of the main missions, allowing interested players to explore at their leisure.
In a way, “Pacific Rim” is a game with a [linear process] first, before opening up to an [open world].
The development team placed a lot of game content and playing methods after completing the main missions.

But just because it is designed this way does not mean the players will play like this.
After Victoria left, countless players and livestreamers who are ‘up to something’ are taking actions to be the first one to enter this scene, hoping to uncover unique content.
Meanwhile, the number of viewers in Super Tomato’s live streaming room also started to climb rapidly.
Because his “Monster smuggling” quest line has also reached a key point –
He had been proselytized by a group of violent gangsters with guns.
