_1 “…”

“…”

The phone suddenly went silent.

Henry looked at his mobile phone in puzzlement, confirming that the call was still in progress, before he asked, “Hello?

Are you still there?”

“Ahem, yes, I’m here, the signal was bad for a moment.” Lincoln’s voice rang out again.

“Well, I’ll have time tomorrow afternoon, but I don’t have a second Hibernation Warehouse.

You should realize that I built this thing by hand, which takes quite a bit of time.”

Henry really wanted to say that they had just visited Sisi, and her Hibernation Warehouse looked at least 80% identical to the [Game Warehouse] that Cloud Dream officially sells.

Even though he was a technology guy and knew that sometimes even a 1% difference could lead to astounding disparities in functionality and difficulty of realization.

But Lincoln’s previous attempt to slack off was too obvious, which left him with some doubts!

He even wanted to ask Yue Pengju and Jordan if Lincoln had a date with the Princess the next afternoon, and that was why he couldn’t make time for earlier…

— Since the Princess and Lincoln publicized their relationship, her security level was raised, and even Jordan benefited from a raise in salary.

So thanks to that, Henry obtained a quick channel to inquire about the Princess’s location and situation.

However, after those thoughts quickly circulated in his mind, his final decision was: “All right, when will you be available at the earliest?”

“The day after tomorrow, I’m off from work in the afternoon.

Arrange the venue and come pick me and the Hibernation Warehouse up.”

“Fine.” Henry agreed immediately.

Before making the call, he was worried that if Lincoln was too lazy to move and picked his own lab as the location, things might get a little tricky.

After all, the secrecy level of Lincoln’s lab is extremely high.

— With the birth of both the [Graphene Chip] and [Human Hibernation] technologies in this laboratory, the secrecy level of this lab will undoubtedly rise again.

And this time, it needs to be maxed out.

If not for the concern that forcibly changing Lincoln’s living environment might impact his creativity, as he was a homebody, a laze and liked to be where the fun was, they would have hidden him away in some remote corner of the Northwest.

Even so, it’s time for him to move—

The place where he is living now just doesn’t match his contributions, and it’s not convenient for the security team to keep improving the security measures.

Lincoln’s villa has been ready for a long time.

It won’t hinder his enjoyment of the bustling and convenience of Xiajing City, while fully ensuring his quiet and privacy.

Even though these conditions might sound contradictory, Xiajing City doesn’t lack such places.

The reason they haven’t let Lincoln move yet is mainly because he’s different from all the other residents— He must have a top-notch lab that’s extremely close in proximity to serve as a supplementary facility for his residence.

This is unique in Daxia, but the proposition received unanimous approval at the meeting without any difficulty.

The lab’s building consumed a lot of time and resources and only recently completed.

Which means: Lincoln will soon be moving.

After the day after tomorrow’s hibernation experiment, he’d receive this gift.

The next morning, the official account of [Pacific Rim] announced the specific rules for the [World Mobile Ball Championships].

The champion team’s prize money of 150 million Daxia dollars made a huge sensation!

Before the announcement of these detailed rules, while the prize money offered for various events held in the virtual world had already surpassed those of the esports events of the past, the unit was still [million].

Even so, the 8 million prize money for the single champion of the [Global Professional League] had already left global gamers, and even the public astounded at Cloud Dream’s generosity and wealth.

But now, Cloud Dream has crossed the [ten million] grade, and directly lifted the prize money to the unit of [hundred million], a completely unimaginable and sky-high figure for the entire global gaming circle!

With such a scale of prize money as bait, the scale of participation and online attention for the [World Mobile Ball Championships] will undoubtedly exceed expectations!

And Cloud Dream, once again unveiled the [Live Broadcast Revenue Sharing].

All teams that make it to the main competition will receive a share of the profits from the live broadcast of the competition, hence the influence of the competition can be directly translated into revenue for the participating teams.

This was also a considerable income.

Many sports media outlets that had nothing to do with the virtual world suddenly got a whiff of something different ——

This amount of prize money and distribution format was all too familiar to them!

150 million Daxia dollars in prize money, while significant in the context of real world international sports competitions, isn’t astronomical; it’s pretty standard.

[Live Broadcast Revenue Sharing] seems nearly identical to [Ticketing Revenue Sharing] and [Broadcasting Revenue Sharing]!

So, the moment the specific rules were published, Cloud Dream received an abundance of communication emails and calls from domestic and overseas media.

Some organizations that were quick on their feet even began discussing exclusive regional broadcasting rights for the competition.

Lance, who was in class, was vividly watching Water playing with her mobile phone during class time, looking utterly adorable with a dazed expression on her face as if she had seen something unbelievable.

The next second, he received an emergency assembly notice from the club.

Not just Lance, all the idle professional players received emergency assembly notices from their respective clubs.

All eSports clubs at home and abroad saw springtime, saw hope, saw ——

Huge profits!

Profits bigger than the [Global Professional League], and an even brighter future!

One by one, they were eager to go all in, to make a big splash!

But they didn’t realize yet:

They were about to face much stronger and more fearsome competitors ——

The bosses behind many traditional sports clubs were hastily purchasing [Mirage] consoles without hesitation!

Of course, they wouldn’t abandon the advantages of their own clubs and their stable base in order to get a taste of Cloud Dream’s “new cake”.

That would just be too foolish!

In their opinion, the prize is not worth mentioning.

If Cloud Dream could really make this [World Mobile Ball Championships] a globally popular event, then the profits generated around this event would be the real big deal.

While all of these factors certainly warrant their attention, they alone are not enough for them to place their bets so quickly.

But there’s another key issue:

Cloud Dream’s actions must have come from Lincoln’s will, and Lincoln seems to have made a firm decision to go with it.

There are countless individuals around the world looking to do Lincoln a favor in exchange for a connection.

But Lincoln never travels abroad and shows no signs of participating in international events.

Even if these billionaires went to Xiajing City, they still wouldn’t get the chance to meet Lincoln without a plausible reason.

Want to help Lincoln in business and do him a favor?

Sadly, Lincoln doesn’t need any help, he’s doing perfectly fine on his own.

And for the problems he cannot solve himself, these billionaires with fortunes of tens of billions or a couple of hundred billion can’t help either!

But now, the opportunity landed right in front of them, and how could they possibly miss it!

While Lincoln, who was traveling to attend Titan Manufacturing’s ribbon-cutting event, unexpectedly received emails in two languages ——

A bunch of billionaire bosses from America, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, and even India, sent greetings and mentioned that their respective sports clubs would participate in the [World Mobile Ball Championships], contributing to the hype for his competition.

Finally, they all humbly expressed their hope for an honourable opportunity to meet Lincoln, whether it be in Daxia or the virtual world.

Not only did they sign off with their names, they also provided their digital IDs in the virtual world, showing their absolute sincerity.

Lincoln was somewhat taken aback:

“What’s going on?

These big spenders aren’t satisfied with reality anymore and want to spend extravagantly in the virtual world for a different experience?”

If Lincoln was only a bit struck, the netizens were totally stupefied ——

A bunch of well-known football, basketball, and American football teams, all announced that they would participate in [The First World Mobile Ball Championships].

This news not only stunned netizens around the world, but also pushed the [World Mobile Ball Championships] solidly to the top of the global headlines!
