Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1078



Chapter 1078: Chapter 993: Late Arrival_1 Chapter 1078: Chapter 993: Late Arrival_1 Under the cover of night, the Pandora Jungle was cloaked in darkness, with only bioluminescent plants struggling to illuminate the surroundings.

Yelang and dozens of players were carefully clearing the obstructing bushes as they embarked on a dangerous night march.

Ivan Ivanov was having a fantastic time with his mech, once again crawling through the dark jungle waiting for his prey to take the bait.

William was flying above the forest on a Yikaran Flying Dragon.

Giselle was staring blankly at the burning bonfire.

There were 1.38 billion players on the surface of Pandora Planet, each doing their thing.

But at that moment, they were all startled awake by the unusual phenomenon in the night sky and the system prompt sound in their ears, looking up towards the leaderboard in the sky.

It was so revealing that it couldn’t be ignored!

The global internet was shaken!

[Lincoln’s Eight Challenges], was a hotter topic than the new game from Cloud Dream, capturing the world’s attention.

It’s just that the particulars of the challenge hadn’t surfaced yet, which somewhat hampered its popularity.

After all, the users who ran into Pandora during these past few days numbered in the hundreds of millions and yet no challenge had been unearthed.

This left people a bit bewildered, and some conspiracy theories even started casting doubt that the challenges didn’t exist at all and that this was only a scheme hatched by Lincoln to sell consoles.

Due to the amazing promotion impact from this event, everyone around the globe had noticed it.

Such conspiracy theories didn’t spread, thanks to Lincoln’s model reputation.

But having entered the game without a clear-cut goal dampened the enthusiasm of these challengers to a certain extent, consequently causing a dip in the player online rate of Pandora.

However, now the hope for dawn had finally arrived—

[Challenger Rankings]

[The Eight Ultimate Challenges]

[Burst of Strength]

It was a pivotal turning point!

It confirmed that the challenges mentioned by Lincoln were real and indeed accomplishable by players!

Even though the current top ranked player could only finish 1/3 of the challenge…

Being able to finish is just that – being able to finish!

—As long as there is a goal, it will definitely be achieved!

The player circle never lacked such conviction.

The virtual world’s players and the global internet spectators were all enticed.

Everyone wanted to ask one question—

What had that top-ranked player named “Bell” done?

What exactly were the requirements for the [Burst of Strength] challenge?

“Who is Bell?”

“Why does this ranking only have names, but no numeric IDs?”

“Is it some well-known professional player?

Has anyone heard of him?”

“Come on, we need Bell the expert to come forward and explain!!”

Countless similar questions popped up on the game forum and social networking sites.

Everyone was asking eagerly and eager for the answer.

But the top-ranked big brother did not appear.

The empty leaderboard hung in the night sky for a full half an hour, seemingly celebrating that the players had finally officially embarked on the ultimate challenge journey.

However, even when the leaderboard disappeared, “Bell” did not come forward to explain the trigger condition for [Burst of Strength], and no one could provide any clues about who “Bell” was.

All everyone knew was that he was an Englishman.

But “Bell” really wasn’t an uncommon name.

It was ubiquitous in the UK, and one could probably find it in the phone book of any random person.

That made the player and internet communities feel a bit stumped.

People only realized now: since Lincoln had set extra rewards for each challenge, in strict terms, every challenger was a potential rival.

If someone discovered key information, it would be normal for them to keep it to themselves.

Not to mention that this person had only completed 1/3 of the challenge.

If they published it, they might get surpassed by others who complete it first, wouldn’t that be a wasted effort?

Yelang and the other players with him had stopped moving forward, and had cleared an open ground to light a bonfire, starting a camp right there.

Without getting any answers, they all felt like they were being tormented, utterly unable to continue moving forward.

“He’s keeping it to himself, I can understand that, but damn it, it’s driving me crazy!!” Yelang wailed helplessly.

Winter Melon, on the other hand, seemed calm, grilling meat.

“No need to be anxious.

Now that the first person has accomplished it, the second and the third are probably coming soon.”

“That’s not so certain!” Yelang was nowhere near as optimistic, “If I don’t figure out what’s going on, I won’t be able to sleep tonight!”

And sleepless, he was not the only one.

This huge news titillated the curiosity of all the players and hundreds of millions of netizens.

But just as everyone was getting excited, there was no further news.

It was like a boundlessly fascinating book suddenly updated, but the update was [This chapter is still being written], or even [This book has been abandoned].

Who could handle such a situation?!

Yelang certainly couldn’t!

Struggling with the uncertainty for a full half hour, just as Yelang was about to give in, the change finally appeared again—

In the sky, the giant [Challenger Leaderboard] appeared again, with a new name appearing in the second position:

[2,Ivan Ivanov (Russia) —— [Burst of Strength] (1/3)]

Then, just two seconds later, two more names appeared:

[3,Burning (Daxia) —— [Burst of Strength] (1/3)]

[4,Guangxin (Daxia) —— [Burst of Strength] (1/3)]

Next, the leaderboard was quiet for a minute and then the new names jumped out again:

[5,White Frost (Daxia) —— [Burst of Strength] (1/3)]

[6,William (Daxia) —— [Burst of Strength] (1/3)]

[7,Cole (Manjiaci) —— [Burst of Strength] (1/3)]

The names that hadn’t shown up for days suddenly began to appear in succession!

And the challenge detail of [Burst of Strength] was fully revealed!

Ivan completed the challenge during live streaming in front of nearly ten million audiences ——— single-handedly, with only an axe and a long spear, he fought a Death God Beast in the jungle!

—— And it wasn’t a regular Death God Beast!

It was a formidable beast, having size 1.5 times that of an ordinary Death God Beast, shown in the system only as ‘Death’!

Being a member of the winning team from the first [Freedom Day] event, Burning publicly showcased the challenge of [Solo Hunting an Elite Death God Beast] to everyone on social networking as soon as he got the achievement.

The challenges of White Frost and William followed, both accomplished during live streaming.

Three minutes later, all ten positions on the leaderboard were completely filled.

But this didn’t stop a multitude of players from rushing to Pandora to challenge the Death God Beast.

Everyone was very optimistic: no matter how strong the beast is, it’s just a beast.

This challenge not only isn’t difficult but even a bit too simple!

The remaining two-thirds of the [Burst of Strength] was easily speculated to be hunting other beasts!

On top of the [Broup Strength no less than that of an Elite Death God Beast] condition, the rest was just a process of elimination!

Thinking of this, the players were all energized.

As if they had already seen the [Burst of Strength] being conquered, everyone was lining up to get their reward from Lincoln.

After all, with the clear terms, it was what the players were best at, the “Fight Monster Task”!

How hard could it be?!

“[Burst of Strength], looks like it’s going to be the first challenge to be completed.” Super Tomato, who had urgently signed back into Pandora, predicted.

As soon as his words ended, the sky board changed again.

A new name suddenly parachuted to the first place——

[1,King of the Ocean (Daxia) ——[Ultimate Challenge] (1/8)]

Beneath this board, eight new leaderboards gradually unfolded, of which two were quite clear, and the remaining six only had a vague outline.

The two clear ones were [Burst of Strength], with all ten spaces fully occupied.

Ɲονǥ0.сօ

The other one was a brand new challenge — [Creatures of Water].

Only the name “King of the Ocean” existed, appearing alone in the first place.

But there were no progress numbers after his name!

That meant: he had actually completely completed this challenge!

The first true [Ultimate Challenge] completer, had finally arrived.
