All Novel Full Chapter 903
Chapter 903: Chapter 855: New Gameplay: Animal Party!_1 Chapter 903: Chapter 855: New Gameplay: Animal Party!_1 Journey Prosthetics Company has been “selling skins” for mechanical limbs for quite some time now.
There’s a high demand for mechanical arm peripherals, especially those with a “cyber-metal” style, that the ordinary people can use.
This is one of the most common “daily threads” found on forums.
If Lincoln were to develop a [Crimson Storm Mechanical Arm] peripheral, it would be met with resounding praise, no doubt.
Getting sales would be no worry at all – this product itself, even before the game’s release, could sell out worldwide!
Once Pacific Rim is released, the surge in sales can be anticipated.
Of course, there are some issues that need to be addressed.
The most immediate problem is: this thing would not come cheap.
Lincoln roughly estimated that the cost of producing a limb with a “freely manipulatable” level would indeed exceed that of a Mirage Console.
That being said, this is not really a problem, there are plenty of enthusiastic fans willing to splurge.
As long as the product is well-made, Lincoln believes there’s no shortage of “leeks” who would willingly offer themselves to be harvested.
Besides, what Lincoln wants is really just to create a buzz; the actual quantity sold doesn’t matter that much.
Another issue is that: the power of this thing must be further restricted.
After all, it’s like having three iron arms.

If not properly controlled, its power could be terrifying, even more dangerous than carrying three knives around.
Even the usual thugs, if they carry three knives, can use at most two at once – Lincoln has never seen a bandit in reality who uses Three Blade Style.
The previous mechanics with “cyber-metal” style are essentially just a layer of “skin”, with metal materials not exceeding one-third.
It’s manageable and restrictions are minimal.
But the [Crimson Storm Mechanical Arm], if it was to be developed, would need to be restrictively controlled even more.
But there won’t be any technical difficulties, just let the development team spend some more efforts in fine-tuning to find the balance point.
As Lincoln thought more about it, he felt increasingly optimistic about this idea, and decisively had Mavis record it.
Of course, this didn’t mean he should immediately start working on it.
He had resolved: I will absolutely not work anymore!
All the employees are on vacation, so does it make sense for the boss to be excessively working?
“From now until we start back work on the 8th, aside from my scheduled aerospace training, all remaining time will be spent leisurely resting!” said Lincoln.
Just as Lincoln finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
He gave a puzzled look at Mavis.
However, Mavis didn’t tell him who was at the door, instead she materialized a large mug of beer from thin air, and presented it with both hands.
“?” Lincoln was taken aback, “What are you…
Kids can’t…”
Before he could finish speaking, he reacted, snatched the beer and put it on the table, said “Kids can’t drink alcohol”, and went to open the door.
As expected: standing outside was indeed Princess Victoria.
…
After the princess entered Lincoln’s house, Jordan, who was following behind, knocked on Yue Pengju’s door.
Yue Pengju was slightly taken aback when he saw Jordan standing outside.
He glanced curiously at Lincoln’s door, and then stepped back to let Jordan in.
Sitting on the sofa, Jordan didn’t say a word, but just sighed with a blank expression on his face.
“?” Yue Pengju was a bit confused, but then he realized, and he cocked his head towards Lincoln’s house and asked, “Worried something might happen between them since they’re alone?”
“Ah.” Jordan shook his head, “No, we won’t need to worry about that from now on.”
“????” Yue Pengju was even more confused.
“Why are you…
so silent today?”
This was not like Jordan.
When the princess wasn’t around, he was usually very talkative, so why was he so quiet today?
“What do you mean by ‘no need to worry anymore’?”
Jordan replied with a bored look, “They’re a pair of bright and talented individuals, fit for each other, why would I, as a bodyguard, need to worry unnecessarily?”
It’s not that he disagreed—in fact, he agreed very much, but he couldn’t help but feel a bit like an overprotective father.
Finally, Yue Pengju got it, and his eyes widened in surprise, “They’re… dating??”
“Wait, why are you so eager to tell me this?”
“Of course, to have you guys upgrade Lincoln’s security measures and to include the princess in the protection scope.”
Being in the circle, Jordan knew very well: Lincoln’s security level has long since exceeded that of the princess.
This is not only due to his contribution and value, but also because he is indeed more targeted than the princess.
After all, kidnapping the princess wouldn’t be of much use, but if Lincoln were to be kidnapped, there would be a lot more that could be done!
But now that the princess and Lincoln are dating—in the future, they might even get married—meaning they are now inextricably linked.
It cannot be guaranteed that someone won’t see her as Lincoln’s weak point and try to take advantage of it.
As the princess’s bodyguard, Jordan was keenly aware of this.
When Princess Victoria told him this news in the morning, Jordan’s first reaction was: the princess will now be facing an additional potential danger.
His second reaction was: “The little cabbage at home got stolen.”
Even if he didn’t remind them, Lincoln’s security team would quickly notice this issue and make appropriate arrangements.
But Jordan couldn’t wait for them to discover it on their own.
He wanted action now, the sooner the better!
Pengju Yue also realized this and immediately reported it.

In the next room, Lincoln asked with some surprise, “Why did you come over at this time?”
It was already evening.
By this time, Princess Victoria would usually have left after visiting Lincoln’s House.
Victoria felt a bit embarrassed, but bravely said, “I wanted to see you.”
“I’ve been running around all day and only just finished all my journeys.
Since I was close by, I decided to drop by.”
Mavis blinked, silently turning her head to smirk – The princess’s itinerary for the day was public online, her excuse wouldn’t fool Mavis!
“And besides, I haven’t hugged you yet…” The princess’s voice grew quieter and quieter.
Lincoln was pleased, but also a bit confused: “Haven’t we hugged in the virtual world?”
More than just a hug…
“That’s different!” Victoria shook her head.
She didn’t continue to explain what was different, for fear that if Mavis heard it, she would be upset.
But Lincoln understood her meaning—
She wanted a real hug, to hold the one she truly loved in the solid reality.
Lincoln didn’t say anything else and immediately gave her a strong hug.
Being held in Lincoln’s arms, feeling the warm sensation as if their breaths were mingling.
This gave the princess an immense sense of security and reasserted her belief: however realistic the virtual world might be, it could never totally replace reality.
After the hug ended, the pair looked at each other contentedly, and turned to find Mavis with her eyes closed, sprawled out on the sofa.
Next to her, her large glass of beer was nearly empty.
“What’s wrong with Mavis?” The princess had never seen Mavis in this state before.
Mavis kept her eyes closed and didn’t move, but she started to mumble to herself: “Mavis is drunk and won’t wake up until tomorrow…
You two can have a baby now.”
“??”
Lincoln tapped a finger on the little girl’s head, trying to knock some sense into her.
But Mavis still refused to wake up, curling up into a ball with her head faced towards the back of the sofa.
Seeing that Mavis had made up her mind to pretend to be asleep, Lincoln didn’t push it and sat down next to her, chatting with Victoria.
The conversation naturally turned to the hot topic of the day—
Mechs!
Even Victoria, who had visited multiple development teams at Cloud Dream as an intern, had never seen something like this.
Ɲονǥ0.сօ
All she knew was that Cloud Dream had a sci-fi project team, but it seemed to still be in the phase of expanding and calibrating, and the development content did not include large mechs.
“What’s the deal with the mech blueprint?
You intentionally leaked it, didn’t you?”
“Of course it was intentional.
How could I make such a rookie mistake?” Lincoln didn’t hide anything from her, “It’s part of the marketing strategy for the new game.”
“How did you come up with this kind of promotion?”
The princess was seeing this incredible marketing strategy for the first time, and felt awestruck and admiring.
Lincoln, however, modestly replied, “It was all coincidental timing.”
After a while of chit-chat, the two decided to play a game together – they had a lot of experience developing games together, but not much of actually playing them together.
“What do you want to play?” Lincoln asked.
“Candy Track!” The princess answered happily.
This was her favorite game, more than any other grand title.
The [Candy Track] gameplay of “Paradise” was constantly being updated with more costume items, brand new tracks, and season-themed games…
And Victoria, without missing any updates, had always maintained a “100% complete collection” achievement.
This undoubtedly demonstrated her passion for this game.
But while playing games with Lincoln and Mavis – the moment it was mentioned they were going to play a game, Mavis immediately “woke up”, she also expressed some worries:
“Currently, the Operations Team seems to be running out of creativity.
The recent updates have been just a recombination of costumes and elements from old tracks, there hasn’t been any innovation in gameplay.
”
This left her, a loyal player, somewhat disappointed.
“Is that so…” After hearing what Victoria had to say, Lincoln hesitated, but eventually said: “Then let me give you a gift.
I was originally planning to give it to you as a birthday present…”
“A gift?
What gift?” The little princess was curious.
“A brand new gameplay for [Candy Track] – ‘Animal Party’!”
