Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1064



Chapter 1064: Chapter 981: Truly a scamming expert!”_1 Chapter 1064: Chapter 981: Truly a scamming expert!”_1 Henry carefully put away the USB drive, sliding it into an inner pocket of his coat.

“Well, let’s end our conversation here for today.

I’ll report back as soon as possible.

The matter regarding the volunteers and the microchip will be handled expeditiously.”

He seemed eager to end the conversation and secure the USB drive somewhere safe.

However, before standing up, he seemed to remember something, “Right, can we go visit that little girl?”

“If you want to visit the patient, just get the parents’ consent, I don’t have any objections,” Lincoln responded.

“But wait!

Have you forgotten something?”

“Forgotten?

What?” Henry seemed confused.

Lincoln sighed, “The mechs!

The mech order from the American Army Department.”

“Oh, that.” Finally, Henry snapped back to reality from the shock brought on by the amazing technologies of human hibernation and graphene microchip.

“Regarding this, I need to ask a question first: can your operating system absolutely guarantee it won’t be hacked by others?”

“Yes.” Lincoln confidently replied.

He patted Mavis’s pink head and said, “I have a ten thousand per cent certainty.”

Henry watched Lincoln pat Mavis’s head, mulling over his words.

“In that case, there’s no problem.

We can take the order, and not only take it but add something special to it.

We can create a custom design for them.”

“Ah?” Lincoln hadn’t thought of this, “Do you mean…

adding traps inside the mechs?”

“This wouldn’t be good, it ruins one’s reputation and harms the company’s reputation.”

Lincoln always cared about his personal and company’s reputation.

Not because he was vain, but because he needed this image and trust to advance his career and even ensure his safety.

Like when Turner came to Daxia looking for a house and asked about Lincoln’s whereabouts, the real estate agent became highly vigilant.

After signing the contract, the agent immediately dialed 911 to report a “suspicious person”.

There were many such calls, and the security team would receive dozens of transferred emergency calls from police stations every day.

These were almost the outermost circle of Lincoln’s “security circle”.

Most were false alarms, but not all—some targeted not Lincoln himself but Cloud Dream Headquarters and the console factory.

As for business—trust from users is crucial to a company, goes without saying.

Even in America, which grew entirely through smuggling, the number of Cloud Dream users has already exceeded 25 million.

Lincoln’s goal was to reach sixty million—about a fifth of the entire American population.

Hence, concerning reputation, extreme caution is needed.

Fortunately, Henry immediately shook his head: “Of course, it’s not traps.”

“My suggestion is: create something even better for them!”

“Using lighter, better steel to reduce the weight of the mech, increase its endurance, adjust some structures, subtly hint to them where they can modify it into a combat platform, install heavy weapons—we’ve made some progress in this aspect, I’ll send you a copy once I’m back…”

Henry clearly had a plan in place and spoke fluently.

Obviously, they had also discussed the possibility of militarization of mechs internally and came up with some feasible modification routes.

After hearing Henry’s thoughts, Lincoln roughly understood his intention:

To give them the best, convince the American Army Department of the weapon’s huge potential, and subsequently invest more energy and funds into the large mech project.

—Once invested in such large projects, it would not be a small figure.

But as long as they cannot break through the operating system, this weapon can never be used against Daxia.

They might even hesitate to bring out their modified mechs—what if they get taken over by Lincoln as soon as they come out?

So Henry’s thinking is not about petty one-time tricks, nor treating the other side as fools, but openly asking the other side:

“How about it?

Want to take a gamble?”

As long as the other side wants to apply for more funding, as long as they believe that Daxia is indeed researching this, believe that they can break through Lincoln’s operating system—whether it’s by cracking it or doing independent research, they will definitely gamble.

And then fall into this pit.

Having realized this, Lincoln gave a silent thumbs up to Henry.

This guy was truly an expert at digging pitfalls, impressive!

With a contented heart, Henry left.

Lincoln looked at the time, he felt like he had finished his workload for the day and wasn’t in the mood to write code anymore.

He simply went to find Cheryl to pet some dogs, waiting for the end of the work day.

After all, always petting Mavis, occasionally he should seriously pet a dog, giving Milkshake some shared affection.

Just when Lincoln had ran there and began petting cats and dogs under the envious gaze of Mavis, he received a message from Jason:

“Boss, we have encountered a very tricky problem, you may have to come to solve it.”

“?”

“In Pacific Rim, there is a special player who can’t control the large mech, she can’t even synchronize with NPCs.”

“Can’t sync with NPCs?

Is this a chieftain from Africa who only speaks the local language trying to play the game?” Lincoln was shocked.

“Eh, no, she’s a native Great Xia person.”

Lincoln sighed helplessly, fiercely petting Milkshake, then got up and left the rest area.

“Wait a minute, I’ll be right there.”

He dare not log into the virtual world here, there are so many cats and dogs that they may bite his clothes terribly.

A few minutes later, Lincoln arrived at the virtual office of the Pacific Rim team.

Their office was designed to be quite modern, at first glance it seemed to be just a commonplace modern office except that the ceiling was ridiculously high, and everyone’s workspace was very free, decorated in various styles.

Looking at the outer wall, there were completely transparent windows on all sides, with an unobstructed view of the city’s scenery outside.

As Lincoln approached Jason, he saw that they were watching a game video.

It was the moment in the game during which Yun Luo and the game’s female protagonist Shinshi were neural linking, and unexpectedly Yun Luo had the problem before Shinshi even lost control.

The line symbolizing the synchronization rate was spasmodically twitching like Parkinson’s disease, starting crazily from the first second!

Under this screen, on the data interface only developers can see, one line became two.

The system signal coupling line was chasing Yun Luo’s neural signal line frantically, trying to reach the same frequency.

But Yun Luo’s line was not stable, it was jumping wildly and irregularly, causing that the two lines could never be stably synchronized, even if synchronization were possible, it would only be for a few seconds.

This lead to her being unable to stable connect to the mech operating system.

“???” Lincoln was surprised: “What kind of mutant is this?”

Jason wasn’t in the mood for whatever Lincoln meant, he said somewhat frustrated: “Boss, we can’t think of any solution.”

Lincoln did not rush, there was a solution, it’s just that the cost was much higher.

He wanted to know more about the situation first, so he opened the panel, searched for what this person was doing now, confirmed that she was still in the game, and then brought out her game screen enlarge it in the virtual office.

Then, everyone in the office who was developing the game, were stunned ——

“What is she …

doing?”

“Single combat??”

“Is this possible?”

Lincoln was also a little confused.

Because in the screen, Yun Luo was piloting a 10 meters medium mecha, battling a large monster that’s six times her own size!

And it seemed——

It was a stalemate!
