Chapter 1068: Chapter 985 Cloud Dream Sudden Attack Live Streaming!_1 Chapter 1068: Chapter 985 Cloud Dream Sudden Attack Live Streaming!_1 Thomas wanted to slap himself right on the spot.
But looking at the expression of the young girl in front of him, he couldn’t muster the words to back out.

With the young girl’s concerned company, he entered the body modification clinic with the air of a condemned man.
But, surprisingly, half an hour later when he left the clinic, he felt quite good!
He didn’t go for an extreme modification right at the beginning.
Instead, he simply had his arms replaced with mechanical ones.
— Initially, he had planned to go for the least drastic transformation, just replacing one arm capable of holding the heavy mobile ball.
But the process of replacing his arm with a mechanical one was not scary at all.
He laid down on the bed, his arm was fixed in place, the doctor drew the curtain to block his view, and then, he felt a prick on his shoulder, and lost sensation in half his body.
Just three minutes later, the doctor pulled back the curtain, announcing that the transformation was done.
Not only was it painless, it was also sensationless.
Two minutes after that, the sensation in the right side of his body, including his new darkly gleaming metallic arm, returned.
Apparently, the doctor’s methods were rather crude.

The sounds beyond the curtain during those three minutes were akin to fixing a car.
When the procedure was finished, not only his arm, but also a part of his shoulder was replaced.
He wasn’t sure if this was due to technical necessity or if it was just the result of a rather “extra” damage caused by the crude methods.
But Thomas did not care about that.
Because he felt really good- he didn’t feel pain or discomfort and there was no sense of it being alien to him.
It felt as if this has always been his arm.
But obviously that couldn’t be, as he could feel the power contained in his mechanical right arm.
Compared to that, his normal left arm felt incredibly weak.
This imbalance made him a little uncomfortable.
The doctor added, “I’ve stored your arm for now, as long as you keep paying, I’ll keep storing it for you.
If you want it to be reattached, that can be done.
But if you owe me for more than a week, don’t blame me for selling it.”
These words dispelled Thomas’s last concerns: “Then, please replace my left arm too.”
Previously, in order to find the whereabouts of Alita’s dad, they had been battling and searching for clues – Alita was responsible for battling, and he was responsible for finding clues, and along the way, they also scavenged quite a bit of money.
Since Alita did not care about money, he reluctantly took it all.
So, money was not an issue for now.
After obtaining his pair of mechanical arms, Thomas left the prosthetics clinic with Alita and proceeded to Alita’s father’s clinic.
—From Alita, Thomas learned about the existence of “Electric Roller Skates”.
Although they were originally designed for the transformed people to attach directly to the feet, with a little modification, they could also be used as shoes.
This helped him temporarily keep his legs.
Returning to Alita’s father’s clinic was to arm him.
Protective gear was mandatory according to the rules, and was the only thing that could protect him from death once the competition began.
Thomas took it very seriously.
By the time they left the clinic, Thomas had turned into a giant iron dumpling, holding a pair of electric roller skates in his arms — of course, they were modified versions.
Not having walked far under the heavy armor, he already began to regret —
He should have replaced both his legs too…
In the end, there was no choice, Alita helped him disassemble some of his armor and carried it, allowing Thomas to arrive at the competition venue on time and not miss this key match.
As for why it’s a key match…
Pandora lawyers, Pacific Rim monster fighters, Chang’an City bell chimes, forum users chatting, office workers watching live broadcasts…
All players received a notification —
Cloud Dream’s official live broadcast has begun!
At Pandora’s lakeside, Victoria, who was fishing with Connie, immediately switched the live source and jumped to Cloud Dream’s official live room to watch the live broadcast with her fans.
This was true for most anchors, even Super Tomato, who was busy trying to conquer the world and in the midst of intense combat, directly disengaged from battle, leaving the monsters to fight on their own, and switched to Cloud Dream’s live room as well.
Even in the Stratosphere above Pandora, where people were constantly falling from, the smugglers visibly thinned.
The number of spectators in the live room skyrocketed, surpassing ten million in the blink of an eye, exceeding 50 million in just one minute, and over one hundred million three minutes later…
—Those who would rush into the live room weren’t only Cloud Dream players, countless netizens and passers-by were also excited to join the fun.
In recent months, Cloud Dream has accounted for half the buzz of Daxia’s internet, and everyone has gotten used to watching the excitement.
The official live broadcast room and official account of Cloud Dream, as well as Lincoln’s account, were all highly prioritized!
To be able to join the fun at the first possible instance!
Thomas and Cat Cake, who were standing at the starting point of the mobile ball competition field, naturally received the message.
Even though they were fully armed and standing with a bunch of fierce-looking modified men, and the competition was about to begin, they still opened their panel to see what Cloud Dream was up to.
But what they did not expect was: they saw themselves in the live broadcast!
“Hello to all our viewers from around the world!”
“I am Lincoln, the guest host for this surprise broadcast!”
“And I am Mavis!
I’m the host too!”
“What you are seeing now is the global first player-involved [Mobile Ball Game] competition field!”
…
With a microphone in hand, Lincoln and Mavis greeted the audience while being enveloped in a beam of light descending from the sky, placing them on a small platform in the center of the field.
Their outfits were anything but serious:
Lincoln donned a studded and spiked leather jacket, sported an explosive hairstyle, wore a monocle over his right eye, and had a shiny metal arm on the left.
Around his neck was a faded old red bandana, and his jeans were full of holes.
Mavis was even more outrageous; she arrived slowly in a cocked pink robot, seated in the cockpit.
When the glass cover of the cockpit opened, one could see that her hair had turned into an explosive pink hairstyle, just like a big ball of cotton candy, adorable.
Yet, she was wearing a pink eyepatch with childish ‘pirate scars’ drawn on her face with colored crayons.
She held a small ice cream-like microphone, enthusiastically co-hosting alongside Lincoln.
Their attire would be silly and outlandish in any other setting,
But in the context of the mobile ball field, they fit right in—
Around the suspended race track, throngs of audience members in the stands were anything but ordinary.
They were all wild funk-style wastelanders!
Not only were their clothes and styles wild, but they were also body modification enthusiasts, with various mechanical limbs being the basics – eyes, ears, heads, chests, waists…
there was no part they wouldn’t dare to modify!
The materials, the interfaces, the stitching marks were all exposed to the air boldly.
Compared to them, Lincoln’s and Mavis’s transformations were very conservative!
The cheers and jeers from the spectator stands grew louder, and the fireworks around the track were lit, shooting into the night sky from around the buildings!
Only at this moment did Thomas realize:
This bastard Lincoln had quietly moved the entire race field up from underground!
Or perhaps, had he simply opened the ‘cover’ on top of the underground field?
‘That’s bloody outrageous!’ he exclaimed internally.
Closing the panel and watching Lincoln up close, he was silently screaming in his heart.
Meanwhile, the hosting by Lincoln and Mavis continued—
“The competition is about to begin!”
“Although everyone is still in the dark about the rules, don’t worry!
So are the competitors!”
“In the dark!” Mavis repeated.
“Let’s watch the competition first, and we’ll explain to everyone during!”
“Explaining!” Mavis emphasized.
“First, let us introduce the 12 contestants of this competition — ”
“First up, the virtual contestant: Wild King Kong!”
“Second, virtual contestant: Thunderbolt Lightning!”
“Third, virtual contestant: Deadly butcher knife!”
…
Listening to Lincoln and Mavis taking turns introducing the contestants’ nicknames, Thomas was reminded of a rather awkward fact —
His alias seemed to be something he blurted out…
spontaneously…
If this had been announced in front of hundreds of millions of people around the world…
But before he could think any further, Lincoln and Mavis were already announcing him—
“Eighth participant: Virtual contestant: Deadly Ferocious Crocodile!”
Little Mavis was trying hard to sound intimidating and scary while announcing this nickname, but her childish voice and playful look only added to her cuteness.
But this small flaw wasn’t a big problem because the main event was coming up—
“Ninth participant, player contestant—” Lincoln deliberately stretched out his words, driving all the audience’s attention to the name.
“The Best Man in the World!”
Then he immediately gave Thomas a full five seconds of close-up camera time!
“Fuck!” Thomas immediately covered his face with both hands, feeling like he would never be able to face people again.
But what he didn’t expect was that the reaction of the older brother next to him was even greater—so shocked that he trembled and seemed terrified!
‘What’s going on?’ Thomas was startled, ‘Could it be more embarrassing than me?’
He soon found out.
“Tenth Participant, player contestant—” Lincoln stretched out his words again.
“The World’s Best—Oni~chan!”
Normally, based on the order of one person at a time, this name would have been Mavis’s turn to announce.
But Lincoln not only announced it, but also deliberately stretched the last three words so long that the global audience had to hear a grown man shouting “Oni~chan” into the microphone.
The close-up naturally went generously to What’s Your Problem.
As for What’s Your Problem, he had only one thought —
How he wished he were dead!
Better yet, to take Lincoln down with him!
