Chapter 1354: Chapter 1216 “After eradicating disabilities, do you now want to cure terminal illnesses?
“`
Audiences in Daxia were naturally interested in the press conference because of the ch that had suddenly appeared.
Everyone thought it was Cloud Dream who had pulled it off, but since Cloud Dream denied it, everyone could only co here for answers.
But no one had anticipated that they would see such a scandalous gossip.
They even witnessed a taste of Arica’s local minority culture.
Lincoln, on the other hand, ca specifically for this, along with an anonymous informant, Mavis.
...
Lincoln indeed couldn’t do much about the floppy disk, but a web page was a different story!
He had never expected that those officials would be so bold as to open the link right in the sensitive location of the White House.
The website was real, and the novel was real.
Only the link had been slightly altered by Lincoln…
Of course, after today, whether that novel would continue to exist remained an uncertainty.
But Lincoln had already paid the author, and Mavis would also look out for her safety; there shouldn’t be any big problems.
The officials should take their anger out on the “hostile forces” that had replaced the floppy disk, not a fanfiction author.
Even though so fanfiction works can indeed be quite provocative…
Self-researched chs, governnt scandals, discrimination against minorities; it was all heavy news in Arica, and the press conference turned into a chaotic marketplace, finally ending amidst a noisy clamor.
Perhaps in an effort to recover, or maybe to steer the discussion back on track, right after the conference, the Army Departnt spokesperson released a photo—
A hulking giant ch snapping a small cargo ship in midair!
The scene was so spectacular that even though the photographer was not a professional, netizens could still feel the overwhelming pressure of the ch from this super close, upward-angled shot!
Without a doubt, this photo once again went viral globally and made headlines worldwide.
As a result, Titan Manufacturing’s business inquiries mailbox beca hot once more, receiving over 20 invitations for talks in just one hour!
Giant chs were not the sa as dium ones; each ca with an extraordinarily high price tag, necessitating detailed negotiations before any actual order.
——Unlike Mirage, who actively controlled profits to garner more custors, the path Lincoln set for Titan Manufacturing, from the beginning, was about reaping big spenders.
Those who could afford such behemoths were surely not short of money, and it would be disrespectful to them if he sold it for cheap, wouldn’t it?
So everybody better pay up!
Want a bigger one?
Pay up!
Want to push up the schedule?
Pay up!
Want longer battery life and tougher armor?
Pay up!
…
Ɲονցᴑ.сο
Basically, just pay more!
For Lincoln, this was the biggest impact the whole affair had on him; after enjoying the spectacle, everything went back to normal.
The unfortunate director, however, would face issues that were no longer Lincoln’s concern.
He didn’t throw any more decoy floppy disks toward Europe and North Arica; he simply had Mavis keep an eye on it and then pushed it to the back of his mind.
Camille was playing with Mavis at the villa, and Mavis herself waved her hand and went to find her buddies from the Origami Kingdom developnt team to play.
Lincoln was alone in the study, quietly pondering so more important matters.
In the evening, he left the study to join Camille to see off Mavis and to pick up Henry.
That day, they talked late into the night.
*
The next day, Lincoln didn’t go to the company.
Instead, he took Camille to visit Randall and Little Chun.
The news Lincoln had about Little Chun was very optimistic over the past year.
“`
But this “very optimistic” view is relative to patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Her physical condition was still slowly deteriorating.
The money they, as a couple, poured into the R&D of the ALS special effects drug kept dwindling rapidly, and even with the fast track of Cloud Dream and Lincoln’s generous support, they couldn’t sustain such expenses.
Fortunately, with Lincoln’s backing, the research and developnt team continued to expand, ensuring the pace only accelerated, never slowed down.
But the results were far from optimistic.
Initially, Lincoln didn’t understand the new drug’s developnt process.
He thought that throwing a massive amount of money should naturally produce results.
It was just because ALS was so rare and the market so small that investing heavily in a cure might not recoup the costs, hence the slow progress.
Since he didn’t care about costs and was willing to spend, he believed they could definitely create a cure—worst case, they would co up with a “personalized special effects drug” just for Little Chun.
Therefore, when he ca up with a basic version of the Hibernation Warehouse, he didn’t rush to offer it to them, seeing it as a backup plan.
But now he finally understood: developing a new drug for a rare disease was a gamble, a costly bet on hope.
In theory, continuous research will indeed yield a special effects drug.
But whether it would be next week or in the next ten years was an unknown.
Like a gacha ga with no guaranteed drops, Lincoln could only help them pay-to-win to the max, yet he couldn’t ensure they’d get the crucial SSR card representing the special effects drug.
The most fatal part was that this gacha ga couldn’t be played with just the flick of a finger.
It required hiring talent, purchasing equipnt, renting space, and repeatedly experinting…
All these things took ti.
And ti was precisely what Little Chun was running out of.
Therefore, Lincoln ca.
He wanted to gift so ti to Little Chun.
—If she and her husband were willing.

Contrary to what Lincoln had imagined, Randall didn’t hesitate for even a second, imdiately supporting that Little Chun should hibernate as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Little Chun was sowhat hesitant.
Just half a year into their marriage, to leave her newlywed husband behind in reality, only able to accompany him in the virtual world, was sothing Little Chun felt uncertain about.
Newlyweds sleeping in separate beds was not a good sign…
Little Chun felt her physical condition was still manageable and that they could wait a bit longer for the special effect dicine.
Lincoln and Camille Victoria sat with their tea, sipping lightly while watching the couple try to persuade each other.
In the end, Randall won the family debate.
Lincoln then made a call, and the professional team outside imdiately knocked on the door and entered, starting to work on transforming their ho into a mixed reality space.
Little Chun and Randall picked out a room to set up the Hibernation Warehouse.
It was easy: they just needed to replace the ga cabin previously used for Little Chun’s massages and tidy up the room.
Of course, it didn’t an that Little Chun had to go into hibernation imdiately.
Since Lincoln was there, they just got all the preparatory work done.
Then, Little Chun planned to see her relatives and friends, explain the situation, and proceed with the hibernation surgery.
Thinking of this, Little Chun was still a bit worried: “How should I explain this to my family?”
In her and Randall’s view, such sensitive technology clearly needed to be kept confidential.
But Lincoln calmly said, “Just tell the truth, there’s no need to keep the hibernation technology a secret anymore.”
Randall turned around, his face filled with shock.
Lincoln nodded affirmatively, “You didn’t hear wrong, this technology will soon be made public.”
“So…” Randall’s look at Lincoln wasn’t just one of gratitude anymore, there was sothing else added to it.
“So, after eliminating disabilities, are you now planning to eradicate terminal illnesses?”
