Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 986



Chapter 986: Chapter 916: Combat Test!_1 Chapter 986: Chapter 916: Combat Test!_1 Pacific Rim developer world, Central Hong Kong.

Lincoln, Camille, and Mavis, three of them were piloting the [Crimson Storm], opposed by the [Dangerous Wander] pilot by Peter and Vanessa.

When Peter and Vanessa came for their usual visit, they were seized by Lincoln and Jason.

They wanted to test the difficulty index of someone outside the development team operating a mech for the first time.

As for Lincoln, he was simply here to play with the mentality of bullying the newbie.

Mavis cooperated perfectly with him, tacit understanding at one hundred percent.

Little Princess was a bit short, but still far exceeded an ordinary person.

Their combined operation of the mech against a newcomer was completely like beating a kid.

Not to mention that [Dangerous Wander] is a third-generation mech, [Crimson Storm] is a fourth-generation, one of the strongest in its generation.

Remove the protagonist halo in the plot, and for a direct confrontation, it’s no exaggeration to say it’s like a father beating his son.

Lincoln and his two companions easily completed the neural connection.

Neural connection in Pacific Rim is not as sci-fi as in the movie, it doesn’t directly read each other’s memories on such a large scale.

——this plot is, of course, preserved, but players can only read the memories of NPCs, and that’s just content that Cloud Dream prepared for players to watch in advance.

It’s not real “memory reading”.

Not to mention, if it really could be done, players would probably be scared away.

When two players in a network pilot a mech, the neural connections are merely the brain’s external nerves being in sync, communicated in the form of “suggestion” and “micro-movement”, to achieve a consistent operation.

In this mode, “tacit understanding” becomes the most important quality between teammates.

In a certain sense, Pacific Rim is Cloud Dream’s first [Duo Game].

“Friend” will be the highest configuration in Pacific Rim.

Of course, Cloud Dream has always retained the “matching” function.

Lone wolf players can also find teammates to play with through Cloud Dream’s matching system.

But short-term teammates randomly matched are definitely not as conducive to cultivating tacit understanding as regular teammates; insufficient tacit understanding naturally makes it difficult to bring out the greatest strength.

As the developers’ team anticipated, after Pacific Rim went on sale, there would certainly be a large number of players looking for regular teammates.

And unlike previous games, where you just add a friend for a regular team but it remains superficial, they really understand and cooperate with each other and become good friends.

——not just online friends in the game, but true friends across gaming reality.

In fact, many casual players who primarily hang around the public world have already crossed the “internet friend” hurdle and made truly good friends, even international friends.

But sadly, hardcore players are far behind casual players in this regard.

This has to do with Cloud Dream releasing new games too fast.

They are either working on a new game laboriously or preparing to work on a new game.

Most of their time in the virtual world is spent pondering on how to become stronger and act up.

They have met quite a few internet friends and enthusiasts, but good friends?

It seems unnecessary.

Pacific Rim will give them this need——

Want to get stronger?

Then go make friends!

A friend who cooperates and understands you will be your strongest equipment!

“Ah——” Lincoln yawned.

Members of the Pacific Rim development team stood at the edge of rooftops around, watching the huge crimson mech raise its arms and execute a very vivid yawning movement.

Making this “bored” gesture in front of the opponent undoubtedly maxed out the mockery effect.

But Peter and Vanessa on the other side could do nothing to him, except for the few black lines that appeared on their foreheads.

Not only because the opponent was the boss, but also because they genuinely could not control [Dangerous Wander].

If players come to play themselves, there are not only full tutorials but also preliminary training and the basic tacit understanding “resonance” process.

But these two were hastily thrown into this while visiting.

They were directly put into combat suits and stuffed into the mech cockpit.

Logically they know very well that the operation of the mech is straightforward——

Aside from special weapons, the basic movements are entirely operated by the instinctive follow-up system.

As long as they step forward, the mech will move forward; if they raise their hands, the mech will also raise its hands.

It’s pretty much foolproof.

But the problem is: they have to be consistent.

They can’t have one thinking of moving the left leg while the other thinking of moving the right leg.

Not to mention if they want to maximize their combat strength, even the intensity and pace need to be consistent.

In reality, they don’t lack understanding between each other, but unfortunately, this understanding primarily falls into a band’s coordination.

Even now, with the help of the system, to control the mechs handily, they still need to adapt.

When they hastily took action at first, [Dangerous Wander] even directly stumbled, crashing on the ground with a loud noise, the head landed right beside [Crimson Storm]’s foot.

The members of the development team who were watching the battle laughed uncontrollably on the public channel.

This made Peter and Vanessa immediately become cautious.

After a good while of coordinating, as Lincoln, Mavis, and Camille all started to yawn from boredom, they finally got used to “follow the hint” and “follow the instinct”.

And finally, the first punch was thrown!

Then Lincoln, Mavis, and Camille Victoria grabbed its fist, closed in, stepped in, twisted their bodies and exerted force – overhead throw!

Screech!

What is the scene of a 79-meter giant mech being flung into the air?

It’s simply a whole skyscraper thrown over the shoulder!

Against the backdrop of the uneven heights of the surrounding buildings, one skyscraper is propped up by another, making a huge circular trajectory in the mid-air, and then – crash heavily onto the ground!

“Boom!”

The earth rumbled and dust filled the atmosphere.

Surrounding buildings vibrated intensively, glass shattered all around, and a few nearby buildings turned into dangerous structures in an instance.

Members of the development team watching the excitement on the rooftop could hardly maintain their balance, and a few unlucky ones standing on the wall were even shaken off.

“Awesome!” declared Lincoln in the squad channel.

“Hooray!” Mavis was also thrilled.

Only Little Princess was a bit embarrassed: “Isn’t this going a bit too far…”

The other party just threw a straight punch, and you immediately came up with an overhead throw…

This outrageous bullying was, of course, initiated by Lincoln.

Although the co-driving mechanism didn’t necessarily distinguish between primary and secondary, if the pilots were willing, of course they could distinguish between “main driver” and “co-driver”.

The plot was also set up this way.

Mavis and Camille Victoria were both very willing to let Lincoln take the lead.

“Boss…” In the public channel, Vanessa complained, “Do you really have to be that fierce?”

“Ahem!” Lincoln replied in the public channel, “Sorry, sorry.

I just can’t help it because your pose is so perfect.”

“Let’s do it again.

I promise this time it will be a fair fight.”

“….” Vanessa went silent for a while, “Alright!”

She had known the boss was a great fighter, but she didn’t know he could be so outrageous!

With much more synchronized moves than before, the two of them propped up their arms and stood up from the ground.

As they moved, the muddy ground was immediately crushed by their arms, long cracks even tore up the road, indicating just how tremendous the weight of the mech was.

The shoulder armor of the [Crimson Storm], which had just made the magnificent move, also showed a visible dent.

–Repair cost +20000

The two mechs stood apart and the battle resumed!

This time, Lincoln completely held back his real battle ability, not only fighting Peter and Vanessa but also guiding them in the battle, allowing them to maximize the performance of the [Dangerous Wanderer].

Both mechs sustained more and more damage, roads and buildings in the center of Hong Kong collapsed one after another, developers watching the battle had nowhere left to stand and had to hover in the air.

Peter and Vanessa were quickly getting acquainted with this battle mode in the combat, operating the mech more and more comfortably.

From the outside, it appeared that the movements of the mech were getting smoother and smoother.

Under Lincoln’s guidance, although the battle pace was getting faster and more intense, they were no longer confused and obstructed as they were at the beginning.

Inside the cockpit of the Dangerous Wanderer, Peter and Vanessa were becoming increasingly excited about the battle.

In the midst of all the chaos, they exchanged a few glances and easily understood what each other meant through their eyes –

“This is so exciting!

It’s definitely going to be a hit!

We must also create a game of this level!”

The two mechs exchanged punches – heavily hammering on each other’s head – precisely, the cockpit.

The only difference was, Lincoln moved his head to the side with just enough effort and dodged most of the force, and the shaking was not too intense.

However, Peter and Vanessa firmly received the punch, the cockpit experienced violent shaking, and they nearly lost their guts – ever since Lincoln incorporated the [vomiting] function into the virtual world, you could vomit almost anywhere in the virtual world…

Now, Peter was also kindled with anger, and while looking at the [weapon bar] on his screen, he couldn’t help but say, “Let’s test the weapon system.”

Without a second word, Vanessa activated the weapon – a chain sword slid out from the right arm of the mech segment by segment, and under the inertia it automatically locked into place, forming a firm and rigid treasure sword.

“Boss!

Let’s test this one as well!” exclaimed Peter in the Public channel.

“Okay.” Lincoln agreed right away, and then activated the weapon of [Crimson Storm].

The next moment – three weapons jumped out from the three arms of [Crimson Storm] –

An electric saw, a molten sword, and a tank golden hammer.

“Which one do you want to try first?”

“?” Peter was taken aback, “Why do you have three??”

He was just dropping by and knew absolutely nothing about the weapon configuration of each mech…
