Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1143: Chapter 1045: The Battle on the Eve of the Release Date_1 Chapter 1143: Chapter 1045: The Battle on the Eve of the Release Date_1 Lincoln leaned back, languishing on the small sofa as the virtual map in front of him disappeared too.

He had some leads on America’s server now.

Primarily two thought processes –

First, elections.

This year was 2031, next year was America’s big election year.

Due to the foundation Lincoln sponsored continually stirring things up, sponsoring protests across America, and incidentally also donating a lot of money to politicians at various levels, there was a pretty good relationship between the opposition party and Cloud Dream at present.

Of course, there was officially no connection between them.

These politicians were simply “concerned with the people’s livelihood” and were “listening to the people’s voices,” hence they were “speaking for the people” and demanding an end to the ban on Cloud Dream.

Given the current trend, in next year’s big election, the government would likely face a wave of changes.

By then, the ban on Cloud Dream would naturally be lifted.

This was the method of resolving the problem by spending money.

The second path turned to technology.

Once Daxia’s graphene chip technology achieved a breakthrough, drastic changes would come to global technology and economic sectors.

With the basic technical information, a massive state-level investment, and comprehensive assistance from the [Focus Headband], the chips might come out any day.

By then, some subtle hint given to the other party should take care of lifting the ban as an aside.

One just did not know which would come first, the technological breakthrough or the American election.

However, regardless of which came first, the chances of getting hold of America was nearly a sure thing.

Once America was captured, the little brother to the north, Canada, would naturally also fall into line accordingly.

In this way, the only challenge was [Persia].

For this theocracy, Lincoln was really at a loss.

They just wanted a stable rule and could even forsake national development for it.

Truly, there was no weakness.

They couldn’t possibly ask Daxia to sanction them, right?

With no solution coming to mind, Lincoln heaved a leisurely sigh.

“Just let nature take its course.”

“Master, do you want to go play?” A small pink-haired head suddenly appeared in Lincoln’s view.

Little Dream leaned over the back of the sofa and looked at Lincoln collapsed on the sofa.

Lincoln lifted his hand to pinch Little Dream’s soft cheek, “Where to play?”

“Pandora!”

“Pandora?

What happened there?” asked Lincoln with interest.

“The players are fighting with the natives!” Little Dream was full of enthusiasm.

Lincoln looked at the time.

After the launch of the [Hibernation Warehouse] production line, the first batch of 30 qualified products produced were being sent to the hospital under strict security.

To be safe, Lincoln had to be present at the site.

Once this surgery was entirely successful, Lincoln wouldn’t need to go next time; Little Dream could directly operate remotely.

They could even install an intelligent algorithm in the Hibernation Warehouse for automatic execution, given that with the increase in Little Dream’s instances of surgery, her data was also becoming richer and more plentiful.

But now there was still time, he could go and check out what was happening.

“Let’s go!” Lincoln stood up from the small sofa, pulling Little Dream with him straight to Pandora.

Pandora, the Tree of Life.

A well-matched battle was about to start.

The players and the six Na’vi tribes under the Tree of Life had started interacting quite early.

But because of the language barrier, and their appearances having absolutely no similarity, the conflict began as soon as the contact was established.

However, during the early stages, players arrived here in twos and threes, and their weapons were relatively outdated – every Na’vi was a born hunter, and they had bows and arrows, and cavalry, so the players were beaten into a panicked retreat.

The conflicts then escalated, and disputes grew more and more intense.

Many players tried to stealthily bypass the Na’vi’s residential area and directly climb the Tree of Life.

However, the Na’vi were obviously much more familiar with their homeland than the players.

Players attempting to sneak through once again met with a harsh counterattack.

Everyone believed that there must be an [Ultimate Challenge] on the Tree of Life, but everyone was denied entrance, so the players’ moods were getting worse and the crowd was growing larger.

As the gathering of players increased, the Na’vi also became aware of the danger, and several tribes began to unite.

The scale of the conflict was growing larger.

In the end, on the day that “Gravity” was about to be tested, the players called their friends, set a time, and wanted to decide the outcome in one battle!

—Otherwise, when tomorrow comes and everyone goes to space, it’ll be much harder to gather people.

It was at this time that Lincoln and Mavis came to have some fun.

Lincoln looked around and saw that there were over three thousand people in this mirror alone, and at the same time, similar mirrors could probably hold ten thousand.

“This is truly a global operation.” Looking around, Lincoln saw various hair colors and faces.

Many of them were obviously players from Central Asia and Europe.

Many people who obviously hadn’t met each other before were having heated discussions using Cloud Dream’s real-time translation.

As for their weapons, they didn’t seem to have been upgraded; axes and spears were still the most common…

Before he could continue studying the players’ situation, a voice suddenly shouted from the crowd —

“Ula!!!!!!!!”

Then, the dense crowd of players in the jungle all picked up their weapon-thingies, shouting and whooping as they charged forward, yelling all the while.

“?”

Lincoln looked at Mavis, a question mark slowly appearing above his head.

“Hold on, where’s the commander?

Are we just headlessly charging?”

First, Mavis raised a mini spear, followed by a “Ula~~” shout, before she answered Lincoln: “I’m not sure, I was randomly assigned to this mirror.”

Lincoln’s mouth twitched as he was swept along by the crowd, forcing him to charge forward.

But he quickly came around: this kind of large-scale jungle war is hard to command in the first place, let alone disorganized players.

The best way to command might be like now where someone shouts “Follow me!”, and then takes the lead in charging forward…

Any other tactics didn’t seem to have any room for growth.

In this way, a chaotic battle began.

Lincoln, for the sake of game experience, did not fly into the sky to watch the excitement, nor did he use any cheating software.

He just followed the crowd going left and right, fought any blue-skinned individuals, and joined forces with any other players he saw.

It was chaotic but thrilling.

Mavis, with her miniature ax and spear, cheered Lincoln along the entire way.

Almost all the players who saw her instinctively protected this girl who was clearly too young to be on the battlefield.

As a result, she had no opportunity to use the small weapons in her hands.

Lincoln followed the crowd charging left and fighting right, fighting from dawn till dusk, until fewer and fewer players were around him.

By the time he had broken out of the forest and arrived at the base of the Tree of Life, there were only three people left by his side.

He took a look around and lowered his head to ask Mavis: “Did we win?”

Mavis shook her head.

The next moment, a Na’vi squad appeared behind them.

“The end isn’t here yet.” Mavis grabbed Lincoln’s arm, “But we have to go now, we need to go to the hospital for surgery.”

“Does a war in the cold weapon era take this long to fight?” Lincoln felt a little moved.

He put away his weapon, preparing to log out.

—Hibernation surgery was a big deal, definitely not something to be late for.

Mavis was holding his hand, about to log out with him, when the image of flames clearly appeared in her eyes.

Lincoln noticed this detail; he crouched down to look into Mavis’s eyes, and found that it seemed to be a tree on fire.

“What’s wrong?” He asked Mavis.

Mavis opened her mouth slightly in surprise and answered: “Someone… burned down the Tree of Life.”
