Chapter 966
Chapter 966: Chapter 900 Wait a moment…What discount did you say?_1 Chapter 966: Chapter 900 Wait a moment…What discount did you say?_1 Lincoln still did not know the real situation.
If he had known, the blame would have been even heavier on him.
Because at this moment, not only were there three spy satellites in low Earth orbit focusing on Xiajing’s Third Mechanical Manufacturing Factory, but also many secret and icy eyes were watching.
Under the 72-hour visa-free policy, countless tourists from overseas come to Xiajing City every day.
Generally speaking, with such massive tourist traffic, it would be almost impossible to accurately identify the ill-intentioned ones – especially before they have made any suspicious moves.
But, having a key person to focus on changes the situation.
In recent days, an extraordinarily high number of drones were found outside the mechanical factory, which was noticed by Henry and his team at the first instant.
But they did not rush to delineate the no-fly zone.
Instead, while transporting a giant mech shoulder at night, they “accidentally” let the oilcloth slip, took some pictures of the object, and only then did they “urgently” classify the area around the factory as a no-fly zone for drones.
By then, those suddenly emerged “drone enthusiasts” had already been registered.
Not only their names and identity information but also their facial features were entered into the facial database.
Normally, the next time they appear in sensitive areas, they will be recognized immediately.
The term “under normal circumstances” needs to be added because of Lincoln’s interference.
Daxia has always emphasized the security of special figures and key areas.

The Intelligent Security System was installed quite early and has been frequently updated, always at the forefront of technology.
The most recent update was made half a month ago—the upgrade was, to a certain extent, also benefiting from the popularity of the [Focus Headband].
Of course, Lincoln’s security team upgraded the system right away.
As for the result, they initially believed it to be effective—even though they didn’t catch any criminals, every time Lincoln entered or exited the residential area, it would be specially recorded and notified, saving them some manpower.
That is until they watched Lincoln and Camille enter the residential area on foot, appearing on the public camera, then going upstairs to Lincoln’s house together.
But this Intelligent Security System didn’t give any notifications.
The security team had no choice but to gather together to check the system recording to figure out what the problem was.
But things got even worse after they checked: in the surveillance footage, everyone appearing in the scene was boxed by the system for facial recognition.

Using the database, the system would label their names to ensure suspicious individuals did not appear.
Everything was normal at first, but when Lincoln and Camille appeared, things started to go wrong.
There was a box on Camille’s body flickering constantly, but it just couldn’t frame Camille, just like a camera unable to focus.
From the moment she appeared in the video to the moment she left, the facial recognition system made as many as 462 attempts but all failed.
She appeared clearly in the video to the naked eye, but odd enough, she didn’t leave any traces in the system.
In other words, in the eyes of the Intelligent Security System, she never existed.
To the technical staff of the security team, this was outrageous!
But Lincoln’s case was even more outrageous —
From the moment Lincoln appeared in the video, the facial recognition system consistently framed him and immediately completed the recognition, recording him.
It seemed like everything was functioning normally.
But the only issue was: the name recorded by the system was not [Lincoln], but [Giraffe].
Everyone was silent looking at the box that contained Lincoln, and the word [Giraffe] that clearly emerged on it.
After a few seconds of shock, they hastily opened another window, going back and manually reviewing the previous recordings.
Then they found historical records of [Tiger], [Panda], [Goose], [Dinosaur], [Mavis], [Red-crowned Crane], and [Armed Helicopter]…
The short-haired girl Lincoln had seen in the box truck during the burglary at the experience store had now become the group leader.
She was lost for a while looking at the name [John Wick] in the historical record before she reported it:
[The Intelligent Security System is invalid against Lincoln and he might have disappeared from our sight without anyone being aware.]
Three minutes later, her superior replied with three words:
[Got it.]
And that was all.
Everyone thus realized that the Intelligent Security System was not completely reliable.
Even if it was the first-class technology in the world, one couldn’t entirely trust it.
As for the possibility of Lincoln sneaking out to play…
If he wanted to go, he’d go.
It was understandable for a young man in love to want some alone time.
–Even if it was not understandable, what could they do about it?
It was not as if they could confine him, right?
If their own people, who had the home turf advantage, couldn’t keep an eye on him, he was unlikely to run into outsiders either.
Of course, it was impossible to say that they were not apt to worry at all.
However, their coping strategy was not to restrict Lincoln’s freedom, but to re-examine the issue of the “gun license” he had repeatedly mentioned earlier.
Allowing Lincoln to carry a gun was indeed problematic.
But compared to the risk of him sneaking out and accidentally running into spies or bandits, it seemed more acceptable to allow him to carry a gun…

However, Lincoln’s initial excitement and eagerness about firearms had faded.
After spending some time carefully completing the acceptance check for the second chapter of “Chang’an” and planning the publicity for this chapter, he took a break.
Considering the huge content update compared to the first chapter and the sales of “Chang’an” as it approached a staggering 80 million globally, Lincoln decided on a simple and crude publicity scheme to help “Chang’an” reach global sales of 100 million as soon as possible.
Randall and Fred never objected to Lincoln’s plans.
Even if this plan seemed a bit chaotic, they executed it decisively.
Thus, while Lincoln was busy with Camille and Mavis on “Gravity”, the official account of “Chang’an” also released the latest announcement to the public–
“Chang’an’s second chapter– ‘Twenty-Four Hours of Chang’an’ comes out tomorrow!
New storyline and more gameplay await you!
Players who have already purchased the first chapter of “Chang’an” can enjoy an exclusive discount, 100% off!
Limited to one month, please collect it in time.”
There was also a long graph below the announcement, roughly introducing the updates in the second chapter.
New quest lines and a large number of side-line gameplay were listed.
However, at this moment, the netizens’ focus was not on the content:
“Wait!!
What did you say the discount was?”
“God, 100% off, isn’t that basically free?”
“In my lifetime, this is the first time I’ve seen 100% off.
This is crazy!”
“Is this a feedback to the old players?
Good, I like it!”
“Hang on, if I buy the first chapter now, can I get the second chapter for free?”
“I guess it’s possible.
Maybe this is the original intention of Cloud Dream.
The first chapter is 500 dollars, the second chapter is free.
The average is 250 dollars, which is a disguised price cut.”
“So when the third chapter is released, wouldn’t it become 166 dollars per chapter?
And the fourth chapter is 125 dollars…
by the time we get to the 50th chapter, it’s 10 dollars per chapter!
We’re killing it, brothers!”
“Fast forward to the 500th chapter, one chapter average costs 1 dollar!”
