Chapter 1328: Chapter 1192: Crossing Half of North Arica to See You!
“That [Ladder] sounds a lot like a Space Elevator, so… the Space Elevator got blown up again?
Huh?
Why did I say again?”
“A world war, all forces collapsing one after another, leaving only the last two major powers to shake hands and make peace… This is too damn realistic!”
“The Combat System seems quite rich, they’ve already shown three routes, right?
Wonder if you can play as a loose player?”
“Addicted to the virtual world, abandoning reality, aspiring to ascend…
is this thing satirizing the state of things in reality?
...
Weren’t there similar news stories before?”
“Good grief, am I mocking myself?”
“That [Dissenter] is a bit over the top too, feels like a bunch of cyber nitpickers.”
“So does the last string of ‘è¿™,è¿™,è¿™’ represent different factions?
Then I also want to be a nitpicker!”
“Anyway, I’m not gonna be a trash picker!”
…
Every second, the comnt section was brimming with a vast number of responses; each ti netizens refreshed their screens, they saw entirely different comnts, and all of them garnered a significant number of likes, which was very engrossing to read.
Of course, there were also repetitive comnts continuously popping up, and these similar comnts from different netizens were mostly related to the release date:
“Selective release date?
What does ‘selective release date’ an?”
“Shouldn’t it be a week later?
Today’s the 1st, shouldn’t the release date be on the 6th?”
“@Lincoln, can you sleep?
Because if you can sleep, I sure can’t!
Can you translate for , what does ‘selective release date’ an?!”
…
Lincoln certainly wouldn’t pop up to explain at this ti.
The Ga’s preparations had long been completed, but according to the plan, the last major event after the release of “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” was to repair the [Ladder]—which is the Space Elevator.
Once the Space Elevator was repaired, it would appear in the Public World, connecting the surface with Space.
In other words: the Space part of the virtual world would be open to all users.
By then, the [Cradle Plan] must keep up, so the universe wouldn’t feel too empty.
Otherwise, players would excitedly rush into space only to find out that apart from the [Space City], there were just random alien marauding ships…
Wouldn’t that be a cheat?
So, he planned to follow up on the developnt progress of the [Cradle Plan].
——Not just the ten gas that had just been “preliminarily selected” and were now closed, but also the ten developnt teams that had secured their slots without needing to compete, as well as the five gas and ten explorable areas from the Sci-fi Ga Departnt.
Not all needed to be completed; as long as over half were done, that would be enough for players to explore, and it would also bring the Virtual Universe to life.
If the progress of all projects was quite satisfactory, then they would release it right after the college entrance examination.
If not so ideal, then they would continue with marketing, release so actual gaplay demos or sothing, and push back the release date for several days.
That’s called “flexible release.”
Having glanced over the players’ reactions, Lincoln, Little Princess, and Mavis went back to the bedroom together to enter the pre-sleep child-entertaining phase—Mavis used to sleep with Lincoln in the sa bed, and they couldn’t just completely kick her out now that the Little Princess had arrived; a family still needed to rest together.
After Lincoln let go of the reins, it was ti for the ga dia and video uploaders to perform—
Examining the trailer under a magnifying glass, analyzing the ga, speculating the developnt team’s intentions, discussing why the release date was not set…
All of these were subjects ripe for content creation.
This too was a tradition, a traffic feast that everyone expected.

The next day, various analytical videos about “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” ca out in droves, and discussions in the social networking sites and ga forums were fiery, montarily overshadowing the regret over the temporary conclusion of the [Cradle Plan] new ga demo event.
“I’m going to die if I can’t play as the Charming Demon” and “I’m going to die if I can’t play as the Little Dragon Girl” sort of posts had visibly reduced in frequency.
The topic was so hot that the news of Lincoln’s departure hardly got noticed by many.
Two substitutes—Lincoln and Camille Victoria boarded the private jet with the foreign affairs visitation team and set off, carrying the Trophy and the newly released [Mirage 3.0], flying towards California’s Sacranto City, which had been “stripped of pedestrians” for several days.
As soon as the “streets clearing” ordinance proposed by the California governnt was brought up, it was passed unanimously by the legislature.
They may not be fans of Lincoln, but they are definitely chasers of interests.

And the benefits that Lincoln could bring were just too many—
At the forefront was the [Virtual City] project.
While “Earth OL” had been moving forward steadily, the [Virtual City] project did not stop and even opened the [Mixed Reality] project to the public.
Yet, the employees of Cloud Dream had traveled the globe, but both Arica and Canada were left out.
There used to be bans which couldn’t be helped.
But now that there are no more bans, whether it’s Arica’s land area, the fa of the big cities, or the total number of users, the [Virtual City] and [Mixed Reality] projects would surely enter Arica.
So, which state, which city, would be the first to reap the benefits?
The City of Angels, where Hollywood is located—[Los Angeles]—lies in California.
How could they miss such an opportunity?
It’s not just about a project—it’s also a gateway to interact with Cloud Dream.
As long as they can establish a good relationship, Cloud Dream’s servers, consoles, prosthetic limbs, chs…
just any one of these coming over to build a few factories or construct a few buildings would have an enormous impact.
That’s just the “public” aspect; the “private” impact would be even more significant.
Now in the high echelons of the political world, there were already whispers that Lincoln had developed a technology that allowed human hibernation.
Add to that the recent [Real or Fake Princess].
[Hibernation] [Simulated Humanoid Robot], the scope for imagination was enormous!
Who wouldn’t want to have a good personal relationship with such a person?
For this reason, they prepared a high-level welco party for Lincoln.
Moreover, the state governnt’s top officials, without exception, would take ti out to attend Lincoln’s welco party.
It wasn’t just these officials who wanted to et Lincoln.
To be more precise: these governnt officials were just a very small portion of the people who wanted to et Lincoln.
The people who were truly eager to et Lincoln, just the players alone, numbered over ten million!
Several days before, the hotels in Sacranto had already been fully booked!
Countless players flocked to the city, so even driving non-stop across half of Arica, just to catch a glimpse of him.
The reporters from out of town who were a little too late couldn’t find any place to stay, having to cram themselves in their broadcast vans.
Parks were full of people camping in tents—if roadside regulations weren’t strict, they would have filled the main streets with tents too!
Furthermore, the hotel prices around Honorede’s house had sky-rocketed to more than twenty tis the usual rate!
Yet even with such exorbitant prices, they were still in high demand and hard to co by.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating Lincoln’s arrival.
