Chapter 1399: Chapter 1259: The Doctor’s Decision!
In the legends of the native Na’vi people of Pandora, those who could control the Phantom Dragons were known as the Phantom Riders.
——That is, the knights who could harness the shadow of death.
These knights were the bravest of the brave, possessing the highest honor and privileges within their tribes.
Conquering the Phantom Dragon was something Shuihua had achieved long ago, and many were aware of it.
But the outrageous process of “taming” had only seemed ludicrous and amusing, showing nothing but Eva’s spoiling indulgence.
Naturally, no one took that legend to heart.
Even though Shuihua used this identity to establish numerous bridges of communication between the players and the indigenous Na’vi, few took the legend seriously.
But now, as countless Yikaran Flying Dragons circled around several Phantom Dragons obscuring the sky, the leader of the Phantom Dragons, the largest in size, gently landed in front of Shuihua, bowing its head to her, everyone present was so shocked they lost their ability to speak, staring dumbfounded at the scene.
Shuihua was also stunned for a moment.
She hadn’t expected this turn of events.
However, she quickly recovered, stepping onto the back of the Phantom Dragon without hesitation, grabbing her hair to gather the neural bundles, and connecting them with the Phantom Dragon’s nerves.
The next moment, the Phantom Dragon let out a earth-shattering roar, and the sky-darkening dragons swooped down!

At the same time, the beasts of the forest reached the scene, with Death God Beasts, Hammerhead Beasts, Heavy Armor Horses, and Poisonous Wolves charging fearlessly into battle, biting, trampling, and ramming every alien in sight.
The great counteroffensive of Pandora Planet had begun!
With the unconditional support of the planet’s will, while other fronts were still struggling to defend, the players of Pandora had already begun a large-scale counteroffensive and purge.
By the time 3 hours had passed and the logistics, scoring, support, and occupation systems promised by Lincoln came online, they had pushed the ratio of actual occupation area and combat power to [10 : 1]!
This allowed them to meet the occupation requirements——
All aliens ceased reproduction, and their locations were marked on the map with red dots, with each purge decreasing their numbers.
After the complete purge, [Pandora] officially became an “Occupied Zone,” where no new aliens would spawn——even if a player entered with the status of [Unknown Infection], the hatching process of the alien embryo would halt until they left Pandora.
This was the first world to be “reclaimed” by players.
They even beat Cyber Chang’an to it!
A world managed by the dual systems of [Pandora Intelligent Management Algorithm] and [Eva Shallow Personalized Intelligence] indeed has tremendous advantages in defending against external enemies.
The other worlds didn’t have this advantage and had to rely on the players to turn the tide!
Because of the World Mission [Return to the Stars], Cyber Chang’an had always been the center of attention, so even though the players there had the strongest combat power, with a front that was not only stable but even slightly advantageous, as soon as [Pandora] became a Safe Zone, players still packed up and rushed to Cyber Chang’an!
Shuihua had no time to explore the points and achievements given for “reclaiming Pandora” and quickly led the [Flag of Salvation] to the next battlefield in Cyber Chang’an!
[Return to the Stars] was only 6% away from completion, and no one could bear the thought of failing at this critical juncture.
The good news was: with the logistics system online, players could now exchange the points they earned from killing aliens directly with the system for antidotes to prevent infection, healing potions, amplifying potions, powerful weapons and ammunition, and other supplies, and even the [Telekinetic Control] that had made a brief appearance during live streaming was now available as a potion on the shelves.
With this support, the players not only overcame their concerns but also excitedly exchanged all sorts of items, using the aliens as ready targets to test their firepower.
The merchandise in this points store wasn’t fixed, either; the Cloud Dream development team continued to enrich the shelves, adding one or two new items from time to time, constantly offering the players fresh experiences.
——It wasn’t necessarily only for combat items; Lincoln even stuffed ten thousand [Cloud Dream Points Exchange Coupons (100 Points)] inside it; grabbing one allowed unlimited exchanges for Cloud Dream Points, directly usable for spending!
The boss’s move instantly opened up Cloud Dream staff’s minds, prompting them to stuff in limited edition high heels, real-world airship day-tour tickets, new game trial passes, facehugger tambourines, fart double jumps…and various other fun or outrageously whimsical items.
This, unexpectedly, had a very motivating effect——the players’ desire for battle soared even higher!
Many people, upon realizing that the Cloud Dream employees were letting their creativity fly, immediately started making wish posts on social networks and the official forum, hoping that Cloud Dream would add all sorts of bizarre and quirky items to the points shop.
After a [Slime Girl Transformation Potion (24h)] item was added to the points shop, the players were surprised to find:
This wish-making actually worked!
Could this even be possible?
The players were instantly thrilled, feverishly posting wishes and calling friends to ‘like’ their posts to generate buzz, all the while engaged in battling aliens in the virtual world to collect points, having the time of their lives!
The players were busy, and so were the Cloud Dream employees!
They were not only working overtime to perfect the system and add items to the points shop, solve minor bugs caused by the items in the shop but also took the opportunity to satisfy their personal quirks by adding things they were interested in into the shop.
——The boss had already spoken; if it was a time-limited item, the restrictions could be relaxed.
So, everyone started to let their imagination soar!
Even Fred was excitedly designing an adult toy——[Hot Plug-and-Play Alien Tail].
The kind you can control with your mind!
In short, whether it was in the virtual world or real-time, suddenly everyone entered a festive carnival atmosphere.
The shock, confusion, and anxiety from before quickly dissipated, and the virtual world once again became a sea of joy.
The only slight downside was that everyone was reluctant to spend points on the [Support System] to call for NPC assistance, preferring instead to save up their points.

Lincoln, Mavis, and Doctor Dark Star naturally noticed the atmosphere change in the familiar world.
Lincoln and Mavis were not surprised, but Doctor Dark Star was quite astonished.
His view of the humans in this world was refreshed once again.
——To think that within such a short time, they could shift from evasion, anger, hatred, to bravery, relaxation, and joy!
This vibrancy, this buoyant sea of emotions, deeply affected him.
It helped him make his final decision.
“I think I can more or less understand your thoughts now,” he said.
“The coexistence of the real world and the virtual world, supporting each other, is what can truly maximize the vitality and potential of a civilization.”
“I will devote myself fully to help you,” he continued.
“Your Stars Project, I agree to it,” he concluded.
