Chapter 954: Chapter 892 “The Boss is actually so cruel?!”_1 Chapter 954: Chapter 892 “The Boss is actually so cruel?!”_1 Lincoln, Mavis, and intern Camille Victoria arrived at the Pacific Rim project too as a trio.
Their login point was one of the most critical scenes in the movie:
The Hunter Base: [Broken Dome].
Discounting the time for team restructuring and viewing the movie, they only had 5 workdays left.
It was, of course, impossible to completely build this base, especially when many gameplay methods had not been finalized.
Still, all the scenes that had appeared in the film had been perfectly reproduced and even enhanced a bit.
Lincoln looked at the enormous [Monster Clock] above the entrance and exit, then turned around to gaze up at the giant structures in front of him:
Standing at 76 meters high and weighing 1,722 tons was one of the strongest fourth-generation mechas—[Crimson Storm]!
Standing at 85 meters high and weighing 2,412 tons was the oldest and heaviest first-generation mecha—[Chernobyl Alpha]!
Standing at 76 meters high and weighing 1,850 tons was the first and last fifth-generation mecha—[Eureka Raider]!
And finally, standing at 79 meters high and weighing 1,980 tons, was the third-generation mecha, the protagonist’s ride—[Dangerous Wanderer]!
Lincoln immediately felt the extent of the development team’s hard work over the past few days.
Standing in front of these four behemoths, he could instantly feel the overwhelming presence they exerted.
It represented human civilization’s power— heavy industry— being personified into a tangible, solid, pure, and invincible form of power.

Steel was its body, machinery its skeleton, and energy its blood!
Standing in front of them, the insignificance of his flesh and the pride of human innovation intertwined, creating a shock too strong to put into words.
So, Lincoln led the two young girls on a meticulous tour of the base.
After inspecting everyone’s work, they finally went to the control room for a meeting with the chief planners.
All of the project’s staff were present; however, to ensure efficiency, most of them were only observers.
Mainly, the chief planning team would report their progress and participate in discussions.
During their workdays, Jason was quickly gaining everyone’s trust, becoming one of the team’s key members.
He began the report to Lincoln.
The first question, unsurprisingly, was about the main storyline —
“Boss, the story you made for the movie used a dual-line narrative, which converged at the end.
It’s great for a movie, but it has to be modified for the game,” Jason pointed out.
“Otherwise, players, as the protagonist, will only have one perspective—[fighting monsters].
They will know almost nothing about the scholars’ [search for the truth].
This will result in a huge lack in the storyline experience,” he explained.
“Furthermore, the simultaneous progress of the dual line will speed up the plot, leaving the player with no time to explore.
This is unfavorable to the introduction of other gameplay methods,” he added.
Lincoln was not surprised by these problems.
Pacific Rim lasted just two hours, with an extremely fast pace, and the protagonist was only one of the perspectives.
There was nothing wrong with this in the movie, but in the game, as the absolute core, the protagonist should have the right to intervene in as many perspectives as possible.
The more perspectives the protagonist is involved in and the more events (tasks) one participates in, the richer and more enjoyable the player’s game experience will be.
“So, what are your plans?” Lincoln asked.
“We want to adjust the timing of the plot progress, staggering the two narrative lines in time, allowing players to get involved,” Jason gave a simple answer, and Lincoln nodded in approval.
Because he also hoped that players could experience the game from more perspectives, such as— fleeing from monstrous invaders with the body of an ant!
Just imagining it was exhilarating!
Moreover, having the sense of “insignificance against grandeur” as a contrast allows players to experience the horrifying destructive power of the monsters and enables them to thoroughly enjoy the thrill of “controlling power” when piloting the mecha.
The key was to ensure the reasonableness and fluency of the plot after adjusting the timeline.
“What about the specific plot timeline arrangement?” he continued to ask.
“Here.” Jason pulled out the timeline and plot node arrangement, which the team had sorted out from the developer’s tools, and handed them out to Lincoln, Mavis, and intern Camille.
— When “Animal Party” went online, the suffix “for summer” caused quite a stir within the company.
The rumored office romance between the boss and this special intern had remained a hot topic in a great number of little groups.
Jason, being aware of this, didn’t overlook providing a copy for the “future boss lady”.
However, when Camille opened the document, she suddenly noticed that a few small groups were flashing wildly, all @ing her.
She clicked on one of the groups curiously and was greeted by a bunch of absurd messages—
“@Camille, something’s wrong!
The boss brought another woman to the company!”
“This isn’t good.
They’ve been in his office for nearly an hour and haven’t come out!”
“Worse yet, the woman in the mask seems to be Princess!”
“So what if it’s Princess?
I’m her fan, but in this case, I stand with you!
/crying/ crying/ crying”
…
During the “Animal Party” gossip frenzy, of course, many people in the company group asked her about it.
But as the Little Princess did not want to lie nor did she feel comfortable discussing her personal feelings publicly, she maintained her silence regardless of their questioning.
Not only did she keep silent, when some daring individuals asked Lincoln, he also remained silent.
With both parties silent, in everyone’s eyes, it was as if they had acknowledged the rumors!
The mini groups buzzed with congratulations and envy.
Although Little Princess had stayed silent, she was still delighted in private.
But after observing that no one had come forward to refute the rumors, everyone assumed that they had been thoroughly confirmed.
However, today, several girls from the administrative department suddenly saw Camille and Lincoln, clad in his chemical protective suit, walk into the company and into his office, then they never came out!
Everyone was in shock.
They were both surprised by the relationship between the boss and the princess and suspicious of the boss two-timing.
In the end, they debated whether to tell “Camille” about this.
Ɲ0νǤο.сο
— No one doubted whether Princess and Camille were the same person.
After all, they were not strangers to Camille; they had interacted with her several times in the virtual world.
And it was hard for them to imagine that the esteemed Princess would work in the company every day as a mere worker.
In the end, Camille did receive these “reminders.”
She found it somewhat funny and sent a simple reply: “I know, it’s okay.” Then she started studying Jason’s plan closely.
But her response led to even more commotion in the small group chat!
“What does she mean by ‘I know, it’s okay’?
”
“Does she know that the boss is two-timing?”
“Does ‘it’s okay’ imply that she can tolerate it?”
“Unbelievable!
How could the boss be so ruthless?”
…
Far away in the “Pokémon” project team, Little Chun was laughing until she nearly bent over double at the absurd topic in the group chat.
