Chapter 1363: Chapter 1225: [Sun God]!
They had long known that new drug development was an expensive gamble.
Tens of billions of funds were poured into it, betting on a possibility.
The last time Lincoln was here, he thought: The hope might appear next week, or it might not come until the next decade.
But now that he thought about it, that sentence could also be reversed!
The new drug might arrive in 10 years, but it could also appear the next second!!
“Stop lying there in a daze, get up and get ready to go.”
Lincoln quickly put away his mobile phone, urging the two to start moving.
“Ah?” Little Chun and Randall hadn’t reacted yet.
The appearance of the special-effect medicine was too sudden, and it had a significant impact on them.
They spent several days notifying and comforting their elders while slowly convincing themselves to accept the fact.
Until the hatch slowly closed, they were mentally prepared for life after hibernation when the news of the special-effect medicine suddenly came!
This turnaround was so abrupt that it left them both stunned on the spot.

However, with Lincoln’s urging, they quickly came to their senses—now was not the time to be stunned, nor was it the time to celebrate.
Their urgent priority now was: to get to Wu Zhong as quickly as possible!
After Lincoln’s investment, the ALS Special Effects Drug Research Foundation established by Randall and Little Chun rapidly expanded in scale, with multiple lines of research running parallel, and it could no longer be contained within one or two laboratories.
Nowadays, in places like Xiajing City, Magic City, Wu Zhong, Yangcheng City, and Shu region, where medical resources were more developed and there was an abundance of medical talent, research institutes dedicated to the study of ALS special-effect medicine had been built.

The source of the good news this time was the Wu Zhong Research Center in the Yangtze River Delta region.
As Randall hurriedly checked for flight tickets, Mavis was already pulling the Little Princess over, “There aren’t any direct flights from Xiajing City to Suzhou.”
Lincoln thought for a moment, “Ask Henry if his private jet is available for others to use?”
Camille showed an imperceptible smile—normally, a government jet obviously cannot be lent to others as it’s not a private jet.
But if the person making the request was Lincoln, that was a different matter.
There could only be one answer.
The Little Princess knew this as clear as day, but she didn’t say a word.
When there were only five people in Cloud Dream Studio, Little Chun had always taken good care of her, and she naturally hoped that Little Chun, the patient, could receive the best care.
The result was as she expected.
Mavis seemed not to have done anything; just a glance with a spark of light in her pupils and the next moment, she nodded plainly, “No problem, he said it’s okay!
It can be ready right away, and he even asked if we need a car to pick us up?”
“What do you guys say?” Lincoln turned to ask Randall and Little Chun.
“Uh, sure,” Randall nodded in agreement.
“Then send it over.”
…
Henry acted very quickly, even coming over in person.
Unbeknownst to them, he had completely withdrawn from front-line scientific research and transformed into a “liaison officer.”
Henry had no complaints about this; he had long realized that the fruits of labor from leading a team in painstaking research and everyone going crazy losing their hair were far less than maintaining a good relationship with Lincoln, treating him to meals, and visiting his home from time to time.
His superiors apparently thought the same.
—His rank not only didn’t decrease but increased, which was a compelling piece of evidence.
“With such a big event, aren’t you going over there?” Henry asked Lincoln, “Once it’s truly successful, you will have accomplished another unbelievable feat, and ALS patients around the world would thank you.”
Lincoln shook his head, “This is the achievement of their couple and countless medical researchers, not mine.”
“I just put up the money, and money means nothing to me.”
This wasn’t an act of modesty; Lincoln truly didn’t feel like he had made any effort—he just opened his mouth, and Mavis even took care of transferring the money.
The remaining bulk of the work was all handled by Randall.
But if he went there at this time, undoubtedly, he would have become the center of the crowd and even take away many people’s honors.
And he didn’t want that, so he wouldn’t go.
At least not right now.
Henry nodded in understanding and didn’t say more.
Instead, he watched with Lincoln as Randall, Little Chun, and their parents all got into the car and headed for the airport.
Little Princess, caring about Little Chun’s condition, also followed them.
Afterward, Lincoln declined Henry’s invitation to check out the progress of [Digital Life] and returned to Cloud Dream Studio.
He was going to announce to the employees Cloud Dream’s new family hibernation benefits.
——Originally, he had planned to leave this task to Randall, but now, obviously, he had to do it himself.
*
Lincoln announced this news at Cloud Dream.
Not just Jiang Feng, but everyone gave face by applauding warmly and shouting, “Long live the Boss.”
Lincoln was only responsible for the announcement, though; the subsequent tasks were left to the big butler Quentina and the head of the Medical Department to handle.
——Cloud Dream’s emergency medical team had already been upgraded to a complete medical department, and Vincent had become the head of the mental health group.
However, the content of her work didn’t change significantly.
She, like the other team members, would have regular chats with the employees to understand their psychological states.
Sometimes, these chats would lead to conversations with the employee’s superiors, which is when her role as group leader would become indispensable.
And since she had snagged Fred—or perhaps Fred had snagged her—everyone gave her face, making her work much easier.
By the way, it’s precisely because of Vincent that Lincoln finally determined Fred’s orientation—this guy probably really isn’t a homosexual; his persistence in blind dating wasn’t just to appease the family elders but was genuinely in search of a partner.
As for why he fervently liked producing content that came across as gay, it might simply be because…
He’s a pure fun-loving person?
Lincoln now stood in front of this fun-loving person, informing him of the news that Randall’s holiday would be extended again, with the exact time undetermined.
Fred’s brows twisted into a knot.
“Cyber Chang’an: 2077” doesn’t need a person to… make decisions, but “Flames 4” is still eagerly waiting for someone!
If they want to catch up with the release of [Cradle Plan], there’s not much time left now!
Several development teams participating in [Cradle Plan] have already announced that their games are nearly completed and are entering the final polishing stage.
The progress of players in “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” is also getting increasingly close to the ending.
We can’t wait any longer!
Yet learning that Little Chun has a chance for a cure, he genuinely feels happy for them both.
So, he’s terribly torn!
Lincoln watched him wrestle with his thoughts for a while with satisfaction—after all, [Cradle Plan] is moving forward smoothly and doesn’t desperately need one or two games.
After a good while, Lincoln asked about the specifics regarding “Cyber Chang’an: 2077.”
Fred answered without hesitation, “The players are completely familiar with the combat system now; their characters’ strength has also leveled up.
The online rate is very stable, with no signs of decline.”
“In terms of the plot, the clue about evil forces contaminating the data world from the last chapter, the whereabouts of the microchip that can house digital life, and intelligence about the mutated brain-beast king have all been unearthed.
If nothing unexpected happens, the true ending should appear this weekend.”
Lincoln nodded in satisfaction.
He was particularly looking forward to the players’ reaction when they got their hands on that chip.
In the game, Lincoln wouldn’t call it something as unrefined as the [Consciousness Chip].
——This is, after all, the ultimate item in the game, the origin of a significant event!
So, its name in the game is:
[Sun God]!
