_1 Chapter 1075: Chapter 990: There are too many melons, I can’t eat them all!

_1 The elite sports clubs in this world are very different from those in Lincoln’s original world.

None of the world-class soccer stars that Lincoln is so familiar with exist here.

It isn’t to say that there aren’t any world-class stars here—they do exist, just that they are a different group of people.

Lincoln wouldn’t recognize any of them even if they were standing right in front of him.

However, the clubs are more recognizable because many elite clubs are rooted in the cities where they were born.

They derive their sustenance from the city’s development and the culture of its citizens.

Gradually growing over time, their names naturally bear a profound city’s character, making many team names highly similar, or even identical to those remembered by Lincoln.

Lincoln took a quick glance and saw familiar names like “Madrid”, “Milan”, “Munich”, “Liverpool”, “Chelsea”.

Through this, he felt a hint of familiarity and understood the huge impact that these teams being on the field brought to the [World Mobile Ball Championship].

The old saying goes “one gives gifts to request something,” so these multimillionaires are definitely expecting something in return.

Lincoln sees this very clearly.

He can guess what they might want:

Just like billionaires in the real world love yachts, what they love is not sailing, but the private kingdom unrestricted on the high seas.

Now it’s the virtual world’s turn, they probably love, not the game and technology, but a place where they can break all the restrictions in reality and fulfill their wildest, boldest, or darkest desires.

—Only if Lincoln agrees.

Can Lincoln agree?

Well…

it’s not entirely non-negotiable.

Lincoln is actually very clear that if someone wants to marry 1000 wives in the virtual world, among them 500 virgin boys and 500 virgin girls, or eat protected animals every day, eat all the national treasures of various countries, or have a strong tendency to torture, torture NPCs every day, or like to watch primitive bloody slave fights…

These seemingly immoral and bottomless behaviors are actually a kind of interaction with data and do not cause any real harm.

Under Lincoln’s technical constraints, there can be no outrageous development like “virtual characters waking up and taking revenge on humans”.

The reason Lincoln does not currently allow it, has only two reasons—

The first is that the virtual world needs to maximize the user volume as much as possible, so it cannot violate the most basic values and cause potential users to feel disgusted.

Of course, this can actually be easily avoided by simply keeping it a secret.

The second reason is the main one—

It’s because Lincoln does not like it.

“I do not like it, so I do not allow it.”

That’s all.

If someone’s condition touches him, it’s fine to negotiate some conveniences, fulfilling some immoral demands in reality, Lincoln actually has no psychological pressure.

For example, if someone comes over and says: “Let me be an emperor in the virtual world, and I will bring you 10 million new users!”

Lincoln guarantees that without saying a word, he will work day and night to build a virtual kingdom for them within three days, and let them comfortably be their emperor.

Unfortunately, such a good deal has not yet come along.

Lincoln even thought about asking someone to pass a message to the Persian president about this business deal.

After all, Persia has a population of eighty to ninety million, but due to the ban on the Mirage Console, there are only about fifty thousand in the whole country.

Although it’s also a contraband, the ban in America has already started to develop rapidly due to its developed smuggling industry.

Persia, due to its theocratic and highly conservative social environment, few dare to take risks.

Only a mysterious person in a high position has ordered 50,000 units one after another.

But every time Lincoln sees the Persian area on the user map dark and dense, he feels uncomfortable…

In such a large country, at least twenty million users could be exploited, right?

Compared with this figure, [50,000 units] are simply a joke.

Lincoln shook his head, sighed again about why such good business hasn’t come his way, and it took him a while to regain his thoughts.

Then he went on to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of [Titan Manufacturing].

As for the emails from those tycoons?

“Xiaomeng, help me reply with a thank-you letter.”

We can meet some other time when we’re available.

“Sure thing!” Mavis efficiently found a template, ready to modify it and send it to the group.

“Wait!” The Little Princess sitting on the other side hurriedly stopped Mavis, “Let me help.”

Having spent a lot of time together, Camille Victoria’s understanding of Lincoln and Mavis deepened.

She was no longer as cautious as before.

For matters that Lincoln considered trivial, but she deemed important, she would proactively join in and fill in the gaps.

In the end, it turned out that Camille wrote the emails and Mavis sent them.

Instead of drafting a single email and sending it to everyone, each email received a separate and individual response.

At this, Lincoln just smiled without saying much.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

[Titan Manufacturing] didn’t have its independent headquarters.

The company’s approval process was completed only yesterday and the staff was still being recruited.

Therefore, having the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Cloud Dream Headquarters would be somewhat odd.

Due to this, Lincoln made the decision to return to their initial venue for the [Crimson Storm] ribbon-cutting ceremony.

[Crimson Storm], as the backdrop, bore witness to the second ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In addition to the bosses of the [Third Mechanical Manufacturing Factory], the executives of higher-ranking industries such as batteries, engine parts, transmission parts, braking parts, electrical instruments, various accessories, and even steel mills attended the event.

Moreover, there were no unknown individuals present.

All were companies with significant standing on their respective supply chains—otherwise, they wouldn’t have moved so quickly.

Through Mirage, Game Cabin, and Journey Prosthetics, Cloud Dream had demonstrated their massive demand for supply chains and also proven their generous attitude towards partner companies.

Therefore, as soon as [Titan Manufacturing] was established, it attracted the attention of numerous related businesses.

After all, everyone could predict that large mechs were going to be a big project!

Jerome spread the word that [Titan Manufacturing] had already secured 8 domestic intention orders and 4 overseas intention orders, in addition to over 10 potential customers with whom they were in further discussions.

The order from the American Army Department had been omitted from this announcement.

Apart from this, after consulting with Lincoln, Jerome expanded [Titan Manufacturing]’s product line—medium mechs, much smaller than [Crimson Storm], were also added to the pre-order list, with a custom appearance option included.

However, the minimum size would not be less than 6 meters.

Because if it was any smaller, it wouldn’t be suitable to be sold as a [large/medium industrial production equipment], and might lead to some social issues.

For instance, if someone took a 3-meter high mech onto the street, would they be considered “walking”, or “driving”?

There wasn’t any “mech insurance” in the market, and it would be difficult to handle if accidents occurred.

The division of authority and responsibility would also be a problem.

Although Lincoln was eager to see a scene where groups of people were out on the streets in their mechs, he had to slow his pace.

Even so, after shrinking the volume and lowering the price, a growth in orders was expected.

This exceeded the order volume that the [Third Mechanical Manufacturing Factory] could handle alone.

Jerome had already planned to build another factory to increase productivity.

Choosing to cut the ribbon next to the [Crimson Storm] had more implications—

This place had become a tourist spot, with large numbers of tourists visiting and taking pictures every day.

Many fans from all over the world also came with their long guns and short cannons, constantly clicking their cameras in excitement style.

So, when the banner for [Titan Manufacturing]’s ribbon-cutting ceremony was raised, it took less than 5 minutes for photos to be posted online.

Jerome, who was already prepared, seized the opportunity to release the first announcement for [Titan Manufacturing], introducing the company’s business field.

Pacific Rim forwarded this announcement.

This left netizens exclaiming that there were too many explosive news pieces to digest!

Shuihua, who had been passionately following the news on her phone, suddenly received two more messages:

[Congratulations!

“?” A question mark popped in Shuihua’s head.

She wasn’t doubting the sudden closed beta test for Yunmeng’s new game, but—

Was there a bug in Yunmeng’s system?

Why had it sent the message twice?
