Chapter 1326: Chapter 1190: [Cradle Plan] Dust Settles!
“`
“Ahhh!!!”
“NONONONO!
NO~~~~~”
As soon as Lincoln clicked on the link, he saw an extremely gruesome screen—
A player was pinned to the metal wall of the spaceship by the alien, unable to move his arms, almost face to face with the alien that opened its ferocious maw, a long slimy appendage, like a tongue yet bearing another set of teeth, slowly protruded from the alien’s mouth, edging towards the player’s lips.
“Ew~~~” Lincoln reeled back in disgust.
The players in the live broadcast room who were watching the excitement also cried out unable to bear it:
“Awesome!”
“Help, this is the most disgusting, most terrifying wall slam I’ve ever seen!”
“[Starry Sky Kiss]!”
“Don’t talk, just kiss it!!”
“If you’re a man, French kiss it!”
“Let’s start with a rocket!

Go for the kiss, and I’ll immediately send you 10 more!”
…
There are so many perverts here.
Lincoln couldn’t help but sigh.
Then he casually sent 10 rockets.
“Go for the kiss, and I’ll send you 100 rockets!!”
Unfortunately, the brother in the screen was so scared by the alien’s terrifying face and mouthparts that he turned pale, suffering a severe mental shock, paying no attention to the live broadcast room.
He was obviously scared to death but couldn’t help staring straight at the alien’s bloody and slimy mouthparts getting closer and closer, then biting down!
An utterly inhuman scream echoed far and wide through the dilapidated spaceship corridor…
When the screen lit up again, he was back on his own spaceship, panting on the spot, face full of lingering fear.
Lincoln switched to other related live broadcast rooms on this page and saw the figure of the Iron-Blooded Warrior.
This guy was also darting around, popping up everywhere unexpectedly.
But unlike the aliens corroding steel and making their way through it at will, the Iron-Blooded Warrior, though invisible, still took the paths of humans.
Once cornered, traces could still be caught.
The problem is: this guy’s armor is too shoddy, and his body is not as tough as the aliens’, so everyone dare not open fire, only able to use non-lethal weapons.
Hamstrung, they actually suffered greater casualties.
After switching live broadcasts, Lincoln saw the Iron-Blooded Warrior going Unparalleled in the crowd, delivering a killing spree!
“Forget it, things have come to this, forget about this spaceship.
Don’t bother with any mishmash, just focus on a solo show for the alien,” he decided.
This decision was easy to make, after all, the Iron-Blooded Warrior fighting against the alien was meant to be a curiosity, so it wasn’t a pity to abandon it.
“Understood.” Myles nodded.
“So we’re completely leaving this aside?”
“Not quite,” Lincoln thought for a moment, “Well, since they love fighting so much, let’s randomly spawn some space pirates from now on, just to spice things up for them.”
“Always coming back with a yield from mining, how uninteresting is that?”
“To bump into pirates by accident, losing both cargo and ship, wouldn’t that be much more thrilling?”
“Uh…
yes, I guess?” Myles said hesitantly.
“Of course, it is!
Let’s do it.
Cut in line, start designing some Iron-Blooded Warrior pirate ships, and aim to update them into the game within a week.”
“Okay…” Myles could only agree, then turned to pass the boss’s thoughts onto the others.
Lincoln continued watching the live stream with great interest, holding Mavis—another week, and it would be time for Camille to cheer on Shuihua for the college entrance examination.
Although the Iron-Blooded Warrior and the alien were both tough to deal with, they had been completely surrounded by the players’ spaceships and had no place to escape in the vast universe, their ultimate fate already sealed.
…
That evening, after a grueling seven-hour siege, costing over a thousand lives, the players finally subdued both the Iron-Blooded Warrior and the alien, caged them up tightly, and began the journey back.
“`
Waiting for them was a fate more tragic than Matt’s.
——That is, if players could really control them in the long term.
If anything went wrong…
In a space city capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, what would happen if a top predator that reproduces incredibly quickly, grows rapidly, can withstand bullets, learns, and can parasite appeared?
Lincoln was looking forward to that day arriving sooner.
*
The next day, June 1st.
Lincoln still hadn’t set out.
The almanac said that today was not suitable for important affairs, so he stayed at home without going out and watched the bustling world together with the netizens.
Today’s excitement was plentiful——
Firstly, after combining professional scores, player ratings, and player voting results, the [Cradle Project]’s election outcome was officially finalized, with the 10 selected games settling the dust:
Relying on impressive dedication, “Dragon Knight,” which underwent two major updates and four minor updates continuously over the last 9 days, successfully retained the top spot and secured a place.
The “Earth Fire” team, promptly fixing bugs while absorbing player suggestions to update even more outrageous weapons, successfully surged to second place.
“Succubus Prison,” briefly spiked to first before falling back to third, but for the “Heterogeneous Magical Girl Research Institute,” this was already a tremendous victory, continuously thanking Cloud Dream online for making their dream come true.
It was just unclear whether that dream referred to “developing a game” or “satisfying a sexual quirk.”
“The Abyss of Perdition,” having a theme a bit selective and presenting too little content in the demo, even fell out of the leading group, ranking only sixth, one position lower than “Origami Kingdom.”
Rushing to the fourth spot, somewhat unexpectedly, was a space rhythm game that merged racing and combat.
ƝονǤ0.ᴄᴑ
The last four spots were taken by the beast-taming game “Beastmaster,” the strategy game “Hand of the King,” and the exploration games “Journey to the Center of the Earth” and “Azure Sea,” respectively.
The selected development teams cheered incessantly, issuing announcements to thank the players for their support and Cloud Dream for the opportunity, and pledged to do their utmost to perfect the games and not let everyone down.
As for those development teams that didn’t make the cut, an inevitable atmosphere of depression and regret prevailed, only hoping that the second phase of the [Cradle Project] wouldn’t have them waiting too long.
At the same time, [Mirage 2.0] underwent a minor price reduction, and the third-generation console—[Mirage 3.0]—officially hit the shelves.
30 million consoles, sold out before the morning was over.
And in overseas markets, which altogether only received 10 million units—a third of Daxia’s share—it was unsurprisingly a frenzy of purchasing and price-hiked reselling.
Domestic sales were once again limited to one unit per person, so the problem wasn’t severe, but overseas partners didn’t pay much heed to this, resulting in situations where prices soared four to five times over.
However, Daxia’s order couldn’t be maintained indefinitely.
At two in the afternoon, Cloud Dream placed two new products on the shelves——
[“Cyber Chang’an” Limited-Edition Headband]
[“Cyber Chang’an” Limited-Edition Game Cabin]
Due to the exposure of “The Way Back Home,” “Cyber Chang’an” was no longer a secret, with loads of cats and dogs rushing in daily to match wits fiercely with law enforcement robots and modified human police—a lively scene beyond words.
Benefiting from the intelligence they provided, everyone wasn’t surprised by the emergence of limited-edition headbands and game cabins.
As usual, whether it was a limited-edition headband or a limited-edition game cabin, both were priced the same as the standard models.
If you wanted one, you could only rely on your clicking speed and luck!
If you couldn’t compete with clicking speed and luck but still really wanted it, then you had to resort to the last option——
Compete with your wallet!
The phenomenon of paying a premium to acquire these became rapidly widespread in Daxia, and it was even more exaggerated than overseas!
…
Finally, in the evening, Cloud Dream wrapped up the day with a blockbuster announcement——
They released the first promotional trailer for “Cyber Chang’an: 2077”!
