Chapter 976: Chapter 908 “You Are Fired !!!”_1 Chapter 976: Chapter 908 “You Are Fired !!!”_1 Launching a game with a limited edition themed console is often seen as a money-grabbing tactic.
This is a trick Lincoln learned from his hometown.
However, his goal is not to make money—even though the price of the limited edition game cabins are indeed higher than the regular ones.
But Lincoln can justify the high price because limited edition consoles possess a unique scarcity—
Setting aside the game-themed paint job for now, every game cabin’s neural modulator-demodulator would bear Lincoln’s gold-embossed signature!
His signature is very rare!
…
…
…
Alright, this isn’t actually important.
The real key point is: the limited edition game cabin, not only uses higher quality materials, but also has superior hardware compared to the standard model, particularly a pioneering worldwide core—
[Consciousness Chip].
A short while ago, one of Lincoln’s tasks involved optimizing the consciousness chip production line in his lab, making it fully automated.
Publicity is out of the question.

However, having such a thing in hand, he inevitably wanted to put it to use…
Nevertheless, because the chip was secretly produced in his lab, under full surveillance from him and Mavis, and delivered to his own factory for assembly after multiple layers of security, its production capacity was extremely limited.
Making it widely available for sale was impossible, but producing it in small quantities for a “limited edition” shipment was appropriate.
No one has come to ask him what was shipped from his lab to the factory, after all, everyone already knows Lincoln is capable of conducting operations without everyone else’s knowledge.
If he is broadcasting his actions without furtiveness, then it is likely not a big deal.
Lincoln’s character is indeed trustworthy.
Especially since Princess seems to be involved in it, always assisting Lincoln.
This makes people feel more at ease (and less inclined to interfere).
However, this kind of disregard will definitely not last.
People will undoubtedly approach Lincoln in a roundabout manner to find out about this.
And Lincoln is ready with his answer, which is the basic graphene chip technology he had previously packaged and organized.
This lines up with the information Camille Victoria knew.
——Little Princess has always thought that what Lincoln was producing was graphene chips, and never even considered the outrageous possibility that it could be “biological chips”.
Giving this thingamajig away will ensure no one will be bothered about what he is doing, and everyone will shift their attention to the next generation of chip technology and “chip hegemony”.
This term may sound exaggerated, but it’s not at all in reality.
Lagging behind by one generation in chip technology is equivalent to losing your hegemony!
It’s just because the risks of consciousness chips are too high, Lincoln is not willing to unveil it, but hide it and use it secretly.
But getting Daxia to research and create stronger graphene chips earlier not only reinforces his status and reputation but also effectively reduces the risk of the “consciousness chip” being exposed, as well as the temptation that comes with its calculation power increase.
No harm will come out of this.
However, there’s no rush to start selling now, let the players enjoy their excitement for the game itself first.
Wait until work starts tomorrow and let the employees handle these matters.
After all, for such a big matter, it would be terrible if there wasn’t even a promotional material for the product.
Especially for the limited edition game cabins, not creating high-end and classy product introductions would be disrespectful to its identity!
As for the release date?
Of course, it will be launched simultaneously with [Pacific Rim].
It’s a limited edition item after all!
That’s how they are.
And since it’s [Pacific Rim Limited Edition], of course, it’s only purchasable by players of [Pacific Rim].
If you can’t even play the game, then there wouldn’t be a reason to buy a limited edition game cabin, right?
What?
You’re not from the Chinese-speaking area, but still want to play the game and buy the limited edition game cabin?
Sure, go learn Chinese!
This is Lincoln’s Plan-B, prepared after noticing that the progress of the Overseas Rehabilitation Plan was slow and unprogressive.
However, while preparing this plan, he still held some hope for the [Rehabilitation Plan].
He hoped that after the “Pacific Rim” project was made public, overseas players would become active, eagerly participating in the plan in order to play this mech-themed game, ultimately promoting the game to be a “multilingual” experience.
So, after the promotional material was released, he paid little attention to the feedback of domestic players, but instead continuously observed the online public opinion of players in various overseas countries, and kept an eye on the registration numbers for the overseas Rehabilitation Plan.
But the result once again disappointed him.
Indeed there was a noticeable increase in the numbers, but it was far from enough compared to the demand for the Rehabilitation Plan.
— At this rate, it would take a whole year or even longer, replacing efficiency with time, to achieve what was achieved in Daxia.
In comparison to participating in the plan, many foreign netizens seem to prefer speculating on Cloud Dream’s motives with various conspiracy theories.
Especially the netizens who are not Cloud Dream users, the so-called “passers-by”, they are particularly fond of conspiracy theories, anyway, they are unwilling to believe that Cloud Dream is pushing this plan for good reasons.
The ceaseless conjectures rattled a large number of people who were uncertain about the truth.
Even neutral users have been left unsure due to the intense online insults and discussions.
But Lincoln can’t blame them, different cultural backgrounds and historical experiences have also shaped different life philosophies and thought patterns.
— Injecting sterilization drugs into one’s own people of color under the guise of vaccines, euthanizing mass wanderers under the guise of social care…
with such a government, combined with the wicked and malicious media, their alertness is understandable.
In that case, they will all learn Chinese!
As part of Plan-B, Lincoln found bilingual teachers and filled the gap in the demand for bilingual teachers overseas by creating detailed, scientific and reasonable Chinese language courses in the virtual world.
And all of this, even for free!
Of course, the price for being free is that the course content is fixed.
For more efficient and personalized teaching, you still need to find real teachers.
But don’t worry about that either!
Lincoln has also prepared a language learning platform to facilitate teachers and students globally to find each other in the virtual world.
So——
Come on!
Study hard so you can pilot a mech!

While Lincoln was perfecting his “learning plan”, America was also fairly unsettled.
The [Lincoln Countermeasures Group] has always been monitoring his every move and of course noticed immediately when Cloud Dream released the promotional material.
But after watching the 2-minute 40-second clip, the entire office suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Then, uncontrollably and simultaneously, they turned their gaze towards the supervisor’s office.
In the supervisor’s office, Daniel, who had just been promoted less than half a month ago, first looked pale, and then immediately turned deathly pale.
“How could this happen?”
“A fake?
A game?”
“How is that possible?!”
“They had obviously started building!
We saw it with our own eyes!
We even took photos!”
“Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!”
“A smokescreen!
This must be a smokescreen!”
He was constantly talking to himself, totally unable to accept it.
He couldn’t accept it!
But the development of things is not always as one wishes.
Before he could accept this reality, the phone rang in front of him.
“Ring~~”
“Ring~~”
“Ring~~”
Daniel stared at the ringing phone, for a moment hesitating to answer.
But he knew that not answering the phone couldn’t solve the problem, so he forced himself to pick up the phone with trembling hands.
Immediately, the sound of the president’s roar came through the phone——
“YOU ARE FIRED !!!”
(“You’re fired!”)
