Chapter 876: Chapter 832: Bedtime Gossip Segment_1 Chapter 876: Chapter 832: Bedtime Gossip Segment_1 “Yep, awake now.”

Lincoln stretched his body lazily, “I owe you one today, thanks for the big help!”

Princess Victoria shook her head puzzledly, “I do want to help, but I haven’t done anything yet…”

She hadn’t even changed her clothes yet!

Lincoln glanced at the little princess, considered briefly, and didn’t refuse, but just nodded.

“If you’re free later, Mavis and I will show you how to use the equipment.

But first, let’s eat,” Lincoln said.

“Hooray!” Mavis was the first to respond.

Not that she was gluttonous, but because she could see Lincoln’s mood had lightened considerably, and naturally, she too became happier.

By the way, seeing Princess Victoria growing fond of her, Mavis took the initiative to lead the little princess to run outside the laboratory.

That evening, Lincoln and Mavis taught Princess Victoria how to operate some of the equipment in the laboratory.

——Just the simple ones, nothing that involved any artificial protein synthesis equipment.

So, all she knew was that this was a graphene-based chip.

Nothing about such outrageous stuff like a “biological chip”.

Lincoln also warned her at the same time: “Don’t talk about what happens in the lab for now.”

The little princess nods time and time again, full of energy.

This was a graphene chip!

Almost globally recognized as the harbinger of the next generation of microchips!

She understood its importance far too well!

In her eyes, Lincoln was absolutely glowing——

Taking on the world single-handedly…

wait, not quite, there was Mavis…

no, Mavis was artificial intelligence.

Could she be classified as the “horse” that Lincoln rides?

The little princess shook her head, flicking away these absurd thoughts.

Anyway, he was simply amazing!

Just being involved in this matter excited her tremendously.

If it hadn’t been for Lincoln sending her home in the evening, she had wanted to sleep in the lab, resting in turns with Lincoln, to keep the equipment running all night.

However, Lincoln figured if he dared to do that, he wouldn’t make it to daybreak before the little princess’s parents stormed the lab to confront him.

Hence, he decisively turned her down.

In exchange, he didn’t stay up late and honestly went back to his bedroom to sleep.

Before falling asleep, he still had the mood to ask Mavis if there had been any significant events these past few days.

Of course, there was!

Mavis, hugging a pillow and sitting enthusiastically on the bedspread, started sharing the gossip with Lincoln.

——It had been two nights without a pre-sleep gossip sharing session, Mavis had barely been able to restrain herself!

“Yesterday night, ‘The First VR Boxing King Global Championship’ came to an end!”

“Oh.” Lincoln tapped his quilt unenthusiastically.

“Can you guess who the champion is?”

“Who?” Lincoln thought the question was strange.

“Someone I know?”

“You know him.” Mavis nodded cheerfully.

Lincoln thought for a round but had no ideas, so he patted the pillow Mavis was holding in her arms, “I give up, I can’t guess.”

“Hehe, it’s a member of the ‘Fighting Club’.”

“Oh.” Lincoln’s interest was still lacking.

“The Fighting Club has around seventy to eighty thousand members now, right?

Having a VR Boxing Championship Champion among them is pretty normal, isn’t it?”

“There’s more!” Mavis shook her head, “The champion, runner-up, and second runner-up, they’re all members of the Fighting Club!”

This time, Lincoln was indeed a bit surprised.

It was unexpectedly impressive.

“Moreover, the number of members in the boxing club has now exceeded 150,000!”

“Because they swept the top three places, many people have joined in admiration?” Lincoln guessed.

“No, not really.” Mavis shook her head again, then waved her little hand and showed Lincoln a scene.

It was the awards ceremony after the [VR Boxing King · Global Contest] competition.

Wild Island, as the veteran leader in the gaming industry, naturally handles competitions with ease.

Even though time was tight and the schedule was closely packed, they managed everything smoothly and orderly, not just successfully conducting the competition, but also successfully organizing the final offline competition during the Spring Festival period.

The video provided by Mavis was from the final awards ceremony for the first, second and third place finishers.

Then the absurdity began —

The third place finisher was the first to speak on stage:

“Hello everyone, I’m Leslie from the Fighting Club, and I’m honored to have won third place in this competition.

Here, I want to thank my parents, who spent a lot of money buying me VR equipment, which has brought me so much joy.

Then I want to thank my brothers in the Fighting Club.

Thanks to them, I have been able to carry out intensive competitive training and improve my strength.

It is not without their deserving credit that I received this ranking.

Lastly, I also want to thank the organizers of the competition…”

This kid was very respectful, at least he thanked Wild Island, and didn’t directly mention the virtual world and Cloud Dream.

Then came the second place finisher:

“Hello everyone, I am also a member of the Fighting Club, my name is Huo Wenle, and I am very happy to receive second place in this competition.

Firstly I want to thank balabala, then I want to thank balabala…Fighting Club balabala…Fighting Club recruitment balabalabala… Welcome to join!”

Lastly, the champion:

“Hello everyone, my name is Wayne, I’m also a member of the Fighting Club, but what sets me apart from the previous two is that I am stronger than them!”

Saying this, he provocatively looked back at his two opponents, and the two responded by flipping him off.

However, the champion was unfazed and continued his speech: “This is not their first time losing to me, in Night City, in the Fighting Club, they two balabala…I balabala…Fighting Club balabala…Cloud Dream Night City balabala…”

The host girl standing next to him turned green.

She tried a few times to interrupt him but was unsuccessful.

In the end, he managed to say, “The Fighting Club in Night City is continuously recruiting new members, welcome to join and improve your skills!”

Seeing all of this, Lincoln couldn’t help but facepalm, feeling second-hand embarrassment for Wild Island…

He even found it a bit baffling why the people responsible for the competition didn’t just cut off the champion’s microphone…

This was just too disrespectful!

Don’t they worry that Wild Island, out of embarrassment, wouldn’t give them their prize money?

However, an interesting thing happened: It was because of this bizarre behavior from the champion, runner-up, and third-place finisher that the awards ceremony for “Iron Fist” received a huge amount of attention.

——Although it was to ridicule, scoff, and sympathize with them, attention is still attention.

No one knows how Wild Island’s boss Bob felt originally, but after seeing the hot trending topic #heartgoestowildisland, he clearly adjusted his mindset quickly.

Because he commented under a high trending post making fun of the event from his own account saying:

“Welcome all members of the Fighting Club to come to ‘Iron Fist’ and take the prize money.”

This kind of outgoing behavior received universal approval from players.

“Amazing!” Lincoln couldn’t help but exclaim what a great mindset, even considering whether to sponsor the second competition.

——As a fun-loving person, he’s truly professional.

“Is there anything else?” Lincoln asked, rubbing Mavis’s cheeks with both hands.

“Hmm hmm hmm…” Mavis struggled to speak clearly as Lincoln rubbed her face, so she moved his hands away and then said clearly, “Yes!

‘Chang’an’!”

“What’s happening with ‘Chang’an’?”

“The Underground Altar was discovered this morning, and there are already people on the forum guessing that these rituals and spell formations are to curse Li Linfu!”

“They move pretty fast.” Lincoln nodded, “What are the players planning to do?

Save Li Linfu?

Or let Li Linfu die?”

“Uh…Mavis doesn’t know, discussion on this topic is still scarce, everyone is talking about other things.”

“Other things?” Lincoln thought for a moment and changed his question, “So what is the hottest topic now?”

Mavis took two seconds to compile the statistics, and then offered an answer that caught Lincoln by surprise: “Competitive speedruns in the Echo Instance.”
