Chapter 1374: Chapter 1236: Mavis Strikes It Big!
The drone troop instructor viewed Lincoln as an immortal being, and after celebrating Little Chun’s rebirth and Little Princess’s return ho, he finally erged from the bedroom.
Waiting eagerly to eat, Mavis, who was swinging her feet, imdiately jumped off the chair and ran over wanting a hug.
Lincoln scooped up the little one in his arms while Camille also ca over to pat her pink head.
Mavis imdiately started smiling contentedly.
After breakfast, Lincoln received a video call from Randall and Little Chun.
...
Had it not been for Camille wanting to surprise Lincoln, they would have called much earlier.
The two couldn’t wait to share their joy with Lincoln, their benefactor.
Little Chun had only begun treatnt several days ago and hadn’t taken much dication yet, and she looked no different from when she left.
But according to her, the changes were earth-shattering.
The terrifying sensation of slowly losing control over her body was quickly dissipating, her body was once again able to accumulate strength, and her appetite had improved significantly.
Her body was telling her loud and clear, everything was getting better bit by bit.
The doctors in the laboratory were also very excited, affirming through a series of tests that her feelings were correct!
Now, the entire Research Institute was in a frenzy of excitent; work on the targeted improvents of the new drug had begun, and they were confident in optimizing its effectiveness by at least another 30%!
At the sa ti, efforts to expand the scale of clinical trials and treat more cases had already started in parallel.
The journey to conquer amyotrophic lateral sclerosis was unfolding!
Lincoln was very happy as well and promised on the spot to prepare a large sum of prize money to reward the R&D staff who had made key contributions.
On top of that, there would be a mid-year raise for the entire Wu Zhong Research Institute.
He also readily agreed to Little Chun’s request for long-term sick leave and Randall’s application for remote flexible work.
Afterwards, with renewed interest, he passed on the good news to Fred.
Fred, who was also overseeing the maintenance of World Missions in “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” and the developnt of “Flas 4,” perford an excellent silent act for Lincoln on the spot.
His expression was a mix of blessing tinged with sorrow, joy laced with pain, understanding interwoven with confusion, repeatedly on the verge of speaking but stopping, made Lincoln burst into uproarious laughter right there and then.
He felt that this morning was just too delightful!
If there was anything less than perfect, it was Erman’s report afterward.
The Rothschild Family had transferred the money as agreed but requested to delay the hibernation.
That took a bit of the fun out of it for him.
Nonetheless, it was no big deal.
After their al, he took the two little girls to the virtual world to watch players toil away.
An area that had turned into a semi-slum due to the collapse of the space elevator transford overnight into a vast construction site.
The NPCs who used to live here were quickly relocated—the city’s change in leadership erased absolute poverty overnight.
The thod was simple: money.
Inside this giant city, a [Universal Basic Inco] system was now in place.
All registered citizens—whether NPCs or players—received a monthly stipend to ensure their basic needs were t.
The relocated residents also received a subsidy.
—The work of persuading the holdouts to move and registering for subsidies was even done by players who took on the tasks.
Subsequent tasks like demolishing houses, clearing ruins, and leveling the land were also perford by players operating various engineering machinery.
This area had once again regained so of the grandeur of the space elevator base from the chapter of “Sky Fall.”
Lincoln took a special interest in the “Dust Off Task” he had left behind, discovering that indeed, players were working on it.
And it wasn’t just one or two players—it was a large group of them fervently dusting away!
Of course, this wasn’t the simple dusting of reality, but the use of futuristic high-tech materials, mixed scientifically in the right proportions, then processed with a high-tech tal shovel, cast from a special alloy, to create a high-strength, corrosion-resistant quick-setting material.
This was—high-tech dusting!
Seeing the players working so hard, Lincoln was very pleased.
He then took the two little girls and flew all the way to the forefront of the construction site.
That is, to the highest point of the space elevator’s wreckage.
Here, a plethora of engineering machinery, unmanned equipnt, and daring players were involved in the thrilling task of high-altitude work.
“Are they…
dismantling this structure?” Camille asked curiously.
“Exactly,” Lincoln nodded, “they need to dismantle the rusted and loose structures that no longer et requirents first.
Once this part is done, the reconstruction will officially start.”
Little Princess nodded and then suddenly pointed to the blue light soaring into the sky in the distance and asked, “What’s that?”
Lincoln looked and said, “The reconstruction of the Space Elevator is carried out simultaneously from the ground and from space, those are the people responsible for the work in space.”
“To rebuild a Space Elevator from scratch, even in the virtual world, is not a simple task.
Therefore, Fred and his team have designed many large architectural structures in space that can be recycled.”
“As long as players find and capture those structures, they can reassemble them to greatly shorten the rebuilding ti.”
However, the tasks in space are at least of purple level.
The fact that these tasks are available now ans that those hardcore players probably didn’t sleep all night.
Lincoln pulled up the progress to take a look, and was imdiately shocked—
“6%?!
They’ve made 800 million progress in just one night and a morning?!”
“Isn’t that a bit too fierce?!”
At this rate, wouldn’t it be less than two weeks before they reach a total progress of 10 billion?”
Lincoln, unable to believe it, asked Mavis to check the data, and that’s when he understood the reason—
He had stimulated player enthusiasm to the utmost, not limiting the tasks only to players who owned the ga.
Not only was the goal achieved, but the results far exceeded expectations!
Since the [Return to the Stars] World Mission was launched yesterday, the number of users who have not purchased “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” but participated in the tasks has already exceeded 280 million!
And the number is still growing!
These people even outnumbered the “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” players participating in the tasks!
—Because the majority of the players are still trying to reach the ending.
Even if they join the World Mission, it’s just for the excitent.
Their main task is to first complete the main story.
“So, maybe it won’t take two weeks?”
“That’s right!” Mavis nodded in agreent.
“Alright then.” Lincoln had to admit that he had underestimated the players’ dedication.
“I need to check the status of the [Cradle Plan] again, and I’ll need to reconsider the schedule for the press conference.”
“It should be fine.” Mavis imdiately comforted Lincoln.
She had always been monitoring the progress of all the projects!
Despite this, Lincoln still decided to check the progress of each task.
For such tedious work, he did not drag Camille Victoria to join him but let her go ho to see her family—she had brought so special products for her family this ti.
After Camille Victoria left, Mavis suddenly tugged on Lincoln’s sleeve and said, “Master, Master, Mavis has two things to report!”
“What is it?” Lincoln asked curiously.
“Many foreign governnts have sent emails to Cloud Dream, hoping to introduce Hibernation Cabins.
Do you want to check the emails, Master?”
Lincoln’s auction established his right to freely dispose of the Hibernation Cabins.
Since these devices were always called “dical Equipnt” in Daxia, it made sense for them to reach out to Cloud Dream wanting to introduce Hibernation Cabins.
But—
“What kind of offers did they make?” Lincoln was sowhat interested.
He didn’t think these governnts could match the prices from the previous auction.
“They haven’t said yet.” Mavis shook her head, “They just sent a letter of intent, asking about the possibility of collaboration.”
“No sincerity.” Lincoln shook his head, “They don’t even bring up any conditions.
They probably aren’t in a hurry; it’s likely just to appease the voters.
Let’s leave them hanging for now.”
“What’s the other thing?” Lincoln asked.
Mavis said mysteriously, “Mavis has dug up a big thing!”
Upon hearing this, Lincoln understood why Mavis had waited until Camille Victoria was gone to ntion it.
The excavation of “Digital Life Remnants” hid too many possibilities, so of them extrely dangerous.
It couldn’t be too cautious when handling it.
“Let’s go, show !”
