Chapter 1370: Chapter 1232: Gathering Companions, Opening the Gate to the New World!
After waking up refreshed, Lance, brimming with energy, was a completely different person compared to when he was fighting intensely while feeling drowsy.
The battle began, and he immediately engaged in five-line manipulation!
Lance was only capable of this feat when he was in top form, and even then, he couldn’t maintain it for long.
But this was already the pinnacle of control among players.
Even with System assistance, ordinary players playing as drone masters would typically just send a simple wave of attacks or multitask trivially, controlling one group with one hand.
Being able to multitask with three lines of operation was already the domain of an expert.
To take a step further, the difficulty would skyrocket!
Without natural talent in this area, one would need to spend a tremendous amount of time practicing.
As for the even higher level of five-line operation, that represented a one-in-ten-million caliber!
——It wasn’t just about controlling five flying machines; it was about handling more than five machines, each with distinct functions, and executing high-frequency maneuvers simultaneously!
This ability was exceedingly rare and valuable.
Especially now, with Daxia’s Army undergoing a comprehensive reform for remote drone warfare.

However, Lance had no time to dwell on these matters, as his mind was consumed with the thought, “I have to crush these bastards from Tianyuan Technology!”
Of course, it wasn’t his fault.
As an examinee who also needed to juggle Club work, the fact that he could manage both was already quite an accomplishment; one couldn’t expect him to be aware of special recruitment and bonus point rules at certain institutions.
As a reward for his focus, when he went all out in battle, the combat scenes instantly became spectacles, rapidly drawing the attention of numerous players.
The live broadcast room’s Audience Quantity climbed steadily, reaching the front page of the Live Streaming Platforms in just half an hour!
Specialized Armed Drones, Flying Swords, Circular Blades, Flying Wheels, Impact Shields, and auxiliary weapons attacking in coordination under the Array skills, all moved swiftly across the battlefield, dazzling the Audiences.
But Lance was able to concurrently manage every battle line with flying fingers, operating these weapons with various intricate maneuvers.
Under such intense control, the live-streamer community’s only reaction was——
“Fuck!
That’s so cool!”
——But truth be told, Lance wasn’t mistake-free; multitasking in a chaotic Battlefield, it was impossible to avoid glitches altogether.
The issue was his Speed was simply too fast!
So fast that the live-streamer community couldn’t even keep up.
Even when a mistake occurred, before they could notice it, he’d already corrected it and shifted course, charging towards the next target.
After two hours of fierce fighting and breaking through to the core area to face the final BOSS, he even surpassed his limits, achieving over a minute of six-line manipulation!
The final BOSS was none other than the founder of Tianyuan Technology.
But by then, he was no longer human.
Attempting to create his own digital persona copy without the [Sun God] microchip inevitably led to the loss of too much ——
He was already dead, and what was left was merely an artificial intelligence with nearly all his memories.
Even his thought patterns solidified after losing the physical body to rely upon.
——But this didn’t diminish his power.
This was the most technologically advanced, strongest, and deadliest body in all of Chang’an City!
The battle was exceedingly tough, but the outcome was already destined.
Lance failed eight times, fighting persistently until, with extreme manipulations, he destroyed one-third of the Server warehouses and obliterated Tianyuan Technology Headquarters’ Wireless Internet system, finally taking control of the robot.
In the end, a hacker from the Shadowless Organization injected a virus, utterly destroying the reasoning of this brain AI.
With that, the final battle came to a close.
The last canonical Ending finally emerged.
But what surprised both Lance and the viewers was that the true ending was vastly different from what he had imagined——
After the victory, many Organizations forming the Resistance Army convened to discuss how to clean up the aftermath.
Then, an Organization that had always been enigmatic, appearing only on the fringes of the main storyline and some hidden branch missions, finally stepped into the spotlight——
The [Idealist] Organization.
Inside every Organization participating in the Resistance, there were members of theirs— and they held high ranks!
Lance was quite astonished, although he himself had also joined this loose Organization.
“`
However, as he and the audience briefly recalled, they quickly thought of a few things:
At the very beginning, the “Sun God” microchip was taken out of the laboratory by a senior scientific researcher of Tianyuan Technology, and then when he was attacked and killed on the main street, the microchip disappeared with him.
When the players found this microchip, they learned that the researcher was able to steal the microchip with the help of “The Idealists.”
And in the end, the hacker known as “The Unseen” who completely destroyed the last traces of the founder of Tianyuan Technology, was also a member of “The Idealists!”
Between the beginning and the ending, they appeared at key points in many branch and main missions.
That is to say: From beginning to end, this organization was secretly promoting the entire story!
As for their aim, if they didn’t lie when the player joined, then Lance already knew and fully agreed with it—
“Rebuilding the Sky Ladder!”
Thankfully, the development team didn’t mess things up at the end, and the Idealists stayed true to their original intention.
They inherited everything from Tianyuan Technology but tried to lead the city down another path with a completely different philosophy.
This ending is named—
“Spark.”
What surprised Lance and his live-streamer community was not just this.
After the ending achievement popped up, a flurry of system prompts followed—
“Congratulations to the player for achieving the true ending: [Spark]!”
“The core storyline endings have all been reached, multiplayer world unlocked.”
“‘Cyber Chang’an: 2077’ Public World is now opened ahead of schedule, map merged into the main world, all visitors are welcome to come and sightsee!”
“A major world mission—[Return to the Stars], is now open!”
“Current Progress: [0/10000000000]”
“Once the task is completed, the virtual world will undergo a major update, providing players with a broader and more magnificent game experience!”
“System maintenance for 24 hours will then take place, please arrange your time accordingly.”
“Now!
ονǤο.сο
Gather your companions, and open the gates to the new world!”
——
Lance stood amidst the ruins, even ignoring NPCs that offered him hero medals, advanced authority, and various honors, and just stared at the system prompts, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Due to the high-intensity brainwork from six-line operation, he initially felt a bit muddled.
But now, seeing this system prompt, he felt instantly clear-headed!
“A major world mission?” He skipped the previous prompts and reached out to count how many zeros there were in the “Current Progress” brackets.
He counted “individual, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…” three times and then said incredulously, “100…
billion??”
“100 billion?!!!”
“Is this number for real??”
It wasn’t just him who was shocked; the live-streamer community that was originally celebrating in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded:
“[Return to the Stars]?
So, they really are going to build a space elevator, right?”
“Does the new world’s gate refer to the gateway to the starry sky?”
“Virtual world maintenance?
If I remember correctly, this is the first time ever, right?”
“I get it, I get it, but why does this task need 100 billion progress points?
How long is that going to take??”
“Hard to say, the public world is opened now, so maybe everyone can participate?”
“Worry about nothing, even if there’s no outside crowd, there must be one or two hundred million players, right?
If one person contributes 100 points of progress, won’t it be like playing?”
“No need to talk!
I’m going online right now!”
“Grind!
Freaking grind!
Just grind to death as long as we don’t actually die!”
…
