Chapter 955
Chapter 955: Chapter 893: Development Plan Confirmed!_1 Chapter 955: Chapter 893: Development Plan Confirmed!_1 Lincoln is still unaware that he’s been slandered as a heartless jerk, and is earnestly reviewing the plan sent by Jason.
In this process, he realizes not only does he want the players to “survive monster hunts with their flesh and blood”, but everyone else does too.
When it comes to trapping…
err, “enhancing player experience”, the Chief Planning team and he are on one accord!
Furthermore, according to Jason and their team’s arrangement, such an experience will occur more than once –
In the storyline, the protagonist roams aimlessly for five years after his brother is devoured by a monster, until he’s found by a general and becomes a mech pilot again.
The intervening five years are omitted in the movie version.
According to Jason and their team’s arrangement, a segment of the story will be added during these years: The protagonist, while working as a builder on the [Wall of Life] designed to ward off monsters, is attacked by a monster that breaches the wall!
This will be a super thrilling escape journey, leaving a deep impression on players.
When the monster appears, players will be at the topmost layer of scaffolding around the Wall of Life, over 100 meters from the ground.
The only equipment they have will be a safety helmet, safety rope, and a hammer.
Lincoln expresses his amazement.
The second time occurs in the film plot: After Newton, the scientist, interacts with a monster brain, he goes to the Hong Kong black market to find a fresh monster brain for more information.
Suddenly, a monster appears and invades the city.

In the new plan, players will accompany Newton on this task.
They have to face not only the crisis of the monster invasion, but also protect Dr.
Newton in the process.
Lincoln clearly remembers that the cause of the monster invasion lies in the neural interaction between Newton and the monster, where the other party confirms their coordinates.
In other words: The monster is there to hunt down Dr.
Newton!
Players must protect Newton under such circumstances…
Even though the invading monster isn’t the one in the storyline that destroys Cherno Alpha and defeats Eureka Striker, the difficulty level will still be sufficient to challenge the players!
“Good job, I like it,” Lincoln expresses his approval of the team’s work.
Apart from these, Jason’s team has expanded on the mech base and monster black market, adding more content to enhance the lore of the world.
The smaller mechs that Lincoln mentioned will only make a brief appearance in the main storyline.
The bulk of their gameplay will be introduced after the main storyline is completed, in the form of “if-then” scenarios.
Lincoln got this idea from “Echoing”, a gameplay mode he created in “Chang’an”.
This approach won’t affect the integrity of the main storyline, and there’s plenty of room for further development, so Lincoln gives his approval once again.
Lincoln is quite pleased with the final proposals.

The adjustments to the plot points, the organization of the timeline, rational character settings, the unveiling and guidance of gameplay, mech upgrade and remodeling routes, reserved spaces for future development…
everything is taken into account, and clearly a lot of effort was put into it.
This newly assembled project team has delivered a satisfying report to Lincoln.
Several strange and creative ideas are also in sync with Lincoln, like one of the Monster Black Market commodities mentioned in the movie – [Bone Powder].
In the film, this stuff is very popular because it can replenish kidney function and invigorate vitality.
Lincoln and the Chief Planning team have the same idea: to sell this as a special commodity in the game, giving it the same effects, and introduce it into the gameplay.
It does not matter if the players can use it or not, the item alone is fun to introduce.
“Good, I’m pleased, everyone did great work, let’s follow this plan.”
“Next, let’s all work together and finish this world!
Let’s weave a whole new journey for players around the world!”
Lincoln is not just a boss who talks the talk.
After the meeting ended, he directly joined the project team and started working on the project with everyone.
The group he joined, was one he had been closely observing— the section of the Mech Remodeling System, which only had a framework and a little content in their project proposal, but needed constant refinement and addition.
From a rough division, mech upgrades and modifications can be divided into four paths: [Weight], [Strength], [Agility], and [Trait].
And the power output maximum of a mech is fixed.
— Players can get a stronger output limit by obtaining a better [Power Core], but even the best 5th generation Power Core has a “maximum limit”, which does not allow players to use power recklessly.
The mech’s overall functions are related to [Power].
If you want something more robust and durable, you need a thicker, heavier metal body— which can be somewhat offset by material selection, but there is a limit.
And the heavier the mech, the more power it demands.
Wanting greater strength requires providing more power to each “muscle,” which in turn demands an allocation of power output.
[Agility] needs a lighter body and stronger explosive power output.
The [Traits] path doesn’t rely too much on the mech itself but accumulates a variety of weapons, relying on large weapons for combat.
Undoubtedly, these weapons also need a power core to provide sufficient energy.
Therefore, how to reasonably distribute [Power] to various functions of the mech will be a choice players must make.
Is it to develop a particular specialty, creating a mech with outstanding advantages?
Or is it to develop evenly, forging a “bucket mech”?
That all depends on the players’ preferences.
Of course, upgrading components is not free.
Unlocking, purchasing, maintaining — they all cost money.
After playing “Chang’an” to save up for a house, players are about to enter the era of saving up to repair mechs…
The good news is, players don’t have to earn money by themselves to maintain a mech — no one could afford to do it on their own.
In the “if line” after the main storyline of the game ends, there will be a more relaxed way to earn money — although it may also lead to loss.
While Lincoln and his team were discussing and working, many ideas he had during his leisure time were gradually turned into reality, added to the elements of mech upgrades and modifications in the game.
That was the whole day’s work.
…
…
To prevent Camille from being gathered around by the employees, Lincoln left work half an hour early, taking her and Mavis out of the company.
When they got back to the car, he cautiously asked, “Was the receptionist looking at me a bit strangely when we were leaving?”
Hearing Lincoln’s question, Little Princess had a subtle expression, not knowing how to answer.
Mavis, on the other hand, covered her mouth and chuckled heartily.
Turning to her, she just shook her head and said, “Mavis doesn’t know!”
Then Lincoln looked at Camille, the Little Princess covered her face, refusing to look at him.
—She hadn’t figured out how to deal with it, let alone how to explain it to Lincoln.
Should she say: “They think I stole my own boyfriend?”
That would be too strange!
Looking left and right, Lincoln was baffled.
After some thought, he decided that Mavis was the easier target; he teased her cheek, making her grimace as he commanded, ‘Spill — it — out — ‘”
Thanks to the powerful effects of the Consciousness Chip, he can now pinch Mavis’s face anytime, anywhere.
What a benefit of technology!
“Um-Um–” Mavis struggled pitifully for a bit, but had to admit defeat, “Alright, alright, Mavis will talk!”
Then Lincoln learned of his new evaluations such as “two-timing,” “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” and “scumbag.”
He wordlessly turned and pinched the Little Princess’ face.
…
…
When Lincoln was sent back to the Aerospace Center and re-entered quarantine, it was already half past seven in the evening.
Little Princess said goodbye to him again and again, promised to meet him the following morning, and reluctantly got into the car and left.

At the same time in Chang’an City, the players were already well prepared.
Today is the seventh and last day of the [Sword of Heaven] event; the number of players participating in the event reached a new high.
Red Dust, who had himself wrapped up tight and carried a sack of medicine powder, was also ready to log into the Public World.
However, he had no idea what was waiting for him…
