All Novel Full Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073: Chapter 988 “Everyone is fulfilled, I am very relieved!”_1 Chapter 1073: Chapter 988 “Everyone is fulfilled, I am very relieved!”_1 Lincoln didn’t elaborate on the details of the World Championship schedule and rules during the live stream.
Well, he couldn’t.
He had just assigned tasks in the morning meeting, and Jason’s and Samuel’s teams hadn’t worked out the detailed program yet.
He couldn’t really explain it even if he wanted to…
The most he could do was mention the champion’s prize money.
But as the expenses for this competition were covered by the company, he wasn’t sure how much the prize money for real-life American football, basketball, or soccer champions was.
He felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to make a wild guess – yes, this time, he wasn’t comparing the competition to a video game tournament, but actual traditional sports events with significant influence.
This was his attempt to expand the user base again and attempt to bridge the gap between virtual and real worlds.
So in the end, he only stated clearly: In the first competition, the two game styles would be on equal footing, but from the second competition onward, there should be a primary and secondary game style.
After all, they needed to determine the more popular game mode to focus their energy on promoting it and further expand the influence of the competition.
As for the other details, they would let Samuel’s team announce them the next day!
After the informal “awarding section,” Lincoln and Mavis said goodbye to the viewers and disappeared from the screen together.
The live broadcast room didn’t shut down immediately, instead, it replayed a collection of highlights for more than a minute before turning off.
The surprise live broadcast officially came to an end.

Having watched the entire process, Yun Luo instantly understood why Lincoln had told her to go to the “Forgotten Cemetery”.
Clearly, her skills naturally gave her an advantage in this sport.
With some dedicated training, she might even become a mobile ball star!
But before that, she needed to complete the main quest line.
Luckily, the system notification informing her that she could now pilot large mechs on her own arrived not long after – however, co-op mode was not available and a co-driver was necessary, even if only for decor – all necessary steps could not be skipped.
Yun Luo enthusiastically started her main mission.
Not only Yun Luo, but a large number of the global audience, who had watched the live stream, were also intrigued by this new type of gameplay.
However, most of them would have to wait until the next day to try it out at the “Mobile Ball Venue” after the Metropolis gets updated.
Only a small percentage could go to the “Forgotten Cemetery” right away.
Even so, the “Forgotten Cemetery” quickly became lively in a short time.
The frequency of mobile ball games being organized visibly increased at a fast pace.
But Thomas didn’t schedule another game right after.
Instead, he chose to log off the game as hordes of private messages, texts, and phone calls began to attack him relentlessly.
Among them, apart from mindless exclamations from familiar friends like “You’re famous!” and “You’ve made it!” there were countless baffling messages like “Let’s be sincere friends.”, “Are you the one?
“, “Can you accept a leg hair enthusiast?”
As for the successive waves of friend requests, there was no sign of them stopping.
Thomas was exasperated by the constant buzzing of his virtual house.
He took out his phone and instantly sent Lincoln a text message:
[Damn you!!!]
*
“Hahaha!” Lincoln laughed heartily as he tossed away his phone, took a glance at the time and at his employees.
Randall and Fred were finishing up “Chang’an: Dark Soul”.
Jason, having assigned a rotation schedule for the “Pacific Rim” team, was busy debugging the game with his team.
Little Chun was leading her team in developing the “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons” DLC for “Pokémon”.
Samuel had finished forming a preparatory operations team for “Gravity” and was now in a team meeting, planning the details for the “World Mobile Ball Championships”.
Jiang Feng was testing the new map for “Battlefield” in the “Peak War”, Tang Mao was busy developing “Speed Chase 2”, Quentina was in discussions about purchasing a building, Jerome had completed the approval for a new company “Titan Manufacturing”…
Even Cheryl was diligently and awkwardly developing a video game with a kitten as the main character.
All of them were working hard and busily.
Seeing everyone so fulfilled, Lincoln felt gratified, so he decided –
“Time to go home!”
“Let’s go, Mavis, time for a big meal!”
“Yay!” Mavis cheered jubilantly.
The two of them left work early, hand in hand, walked out through the company’s gate, ending their day of work.

When Yue Pengju arrived with Lincoln and Mavis to meet up with Jordan and Princess, they all set off for the newly-opened hotpot restaurant, “Flame Pot”.
After bidding farewell and returning home, it was already dark.
Lincoln and Yue Pengju each went their separate ways home and beelined to the bathroom.
Both Lincoln and Camille didn’t particularly favor spicy food.
But in the virtual world, there are always players complaining that the “spiciness of the food isn’t authentic” — these people are mainly located in Yuzhang and Chongqing.
Lincoln is quite puzzled by this.
When he originally collected sensory information related to food and taste, he did not leave out any famous dishes from anywhere.
Of course, authentic Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine and Ganzhou cuisine were not overlooked.
And for “spicy”, to “torture” Yue Pengju, he also didn’t shy away from tasting it.
But even so, there are still people saying it’s not authentic enough.
This leaves Lincoln at a loss, he can’t really go challenge the world’s spiciest peppers, can he?
Those things, let alone if he doesn’t want to try them, even if he did, the security team would probably stop him…
Today, he only went to try again because of a sudden whim.
But unfortunately, he still couldn’t figure out what subtle differences there are between the “spiciness” of this restaurant and others’.
He has to admit, everyone’s tongue may be different.
He really can’t taste the difference.
But the good news is: Little Princess can taste it.
Not only “spicy”, she can taste the slight differences in various foods, even if it’s just a very subtle difference in the freshness of the ingredients.
In the next few days, these differences that are so subtle that they are hard to describe with a programming language will be updated into the virtual world with the help of both Princess and Xiaomeng.
This little change may only be felt by one-thousandth or even one ten-thousandth of the several hundred million users in the virtual world.
But any further improvement is always good.
After coming out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, Lincoln flopped onto the sofa with a sigh of relief, wearing a headband.
Then he felt a kick on his butt.
“?” He looked at Xiaomeng, who was standing barefoot on the sofa and lightly kicked him, confused, “What for?”
Xiaomeng said seriously, “Henry and the others just went to see Sisi.”
“Oh.” Lincoln nodded, not really paying attention.
Xiaomeng kicked him again.
“?”
“Master, don’t you want to take a look?”
“No.” Lincoln shook his head indifferently.
The next moment, he quickly reached out and caught Xiaomeng’s foot that was coming to kick him: “Don’t just randomly learn things!”
Xiaomeng lost her balance when her foot was caught by Lincoln, and she fell onto the sofa with a “ah”.
Lincoln threatened, “If you kick me again, I’ll kick back!”
Xiaomeng lay crookedly on the sofa, her eyes blinking, seeming to consider whether this trade-off was worth it.
If she weren’t wearing a little skirt, looking at her expression, Lincoln really wanted to grab one foot and twirl her upside down!
Just at this critical moment, a phone call saved Xiaomeng from the crisis of “having her face rubbed” –
It was a call from Henry.
They had checked on Sisi’s condition, and also found volunteers at light speed.
They couldn’t wait for Lincoln to demonstrate this new technology.
“Are you free tomorrow afternoon?”
“No.” Lincoln shook his head.
“?” Henry was startled, “Do you have something important to do?”
“Yes, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for [Titan Manufacturing].”
Henry was stunned again: “Titan Manufacturing?
What’s that?”
“Newly established company, specialized in making mechs.
ƝονǤο.сο
There are too many orders, it’s better to make the business independent.”
“So…” Henry was still a bit confused, “Is that so important?
Do you need to go in person?”
It’s not like they’ve made a second mech, this kind of boring inauguration ceremony doesn’t seem like a place Lincoln would actively go to, right?
Lincoln shook his head: “No choice, many upstream companies got the news and came all the way here to show support.
Out of courtesy, I have to make an appearance.”
“Alright.” Henry nodded, just about to change the time, but suddenly realized something was wrong-
“Wait a minute!
You only have to cut a ribbon, does it take an entire afternoon?”
“You’re not planning to cut the ribbon and knock off work straight away, are you?”
