Chapter 1384: Chapter 1246: Don’t Ascend!
Don’t Ascend!
Players stared at the silently crumbling planet, all with a look of utter confusion on their faces.
And their puzzlent was not hard to understand.
Because this ga was none of the top 10 featured at the [Cradle Plan Demo Play Session] earlier.
...
It hadn’t even participated in that play session.
Many players had forgotten one thing—
When Yunng released the first announcent of the [Cradle Plan], they declared not 10, but 20 spots!
The first 10 spots were reserved by Yunng and directly awarded to the top 10 developnt teams on the Mod Sharing Platform based on their overall performance.
The remaining 10 spots were the ones up for competition among other developnt teams!
After the announcent, the Internet erupted in activity, and the nurous rounds of competition from a multitude of developnt teams were all for these latter 10 spots.
But the top 10 developnt teams on the Mod Sharing Platform weren’t just sitting idle.
They had sprung into action the mont they received the email from Yunng, even before signing the contract!
The effort and hard work they had put in over these days were in no way inferior to those teams exposed to the scrutiny of the Internet.
Familiar with Yunng’s developnt tools, possessing strong technical power, and having more developnt ti and a more focused developnt environnt…
With so many advantages, the quality of their work was naturally unlikely to be poor!
Now was the ti for them to publicly reveal their results and subject them to the players’ review.
And the players conducting the review had yet to recover from their confusion.
Everyone felt that the contents of the trailer seed out of place with the top 10 from the previous [Cradle Plan Play Session], awkward no matter where it was placed.
Even “Earth Fire,” which had produced a slew of outrageous weapons, couldn’t fit in a Star Exterminator cannon!
Let alone those densely packed space warships…
— “Earth Fire” wasn’t an aerial combat ga either, was it?!
Players whispered and discussed among themselves, and a wave of murmurs arose in the Task Square.
But before they could make heads or tails of it, another set of outrageous scenes jumped out:
Tsunamis hundreds of ters high swept in from the horizon, engulfing the coastline in an instant, pouring into the city, washing and drowning everything in its path…
A passenger on an airplane suddenly fell ill, his dissolving internal organ fragnts sprayed everywhere, and a deadly plague erupted…
…
Ti and ti again, the players were dumbfounded.
But they still didn’t understand: what exactly was this ga?
Not until the last dozen seconds, when the ga na “Destruction Prophecy” appeared did the developnt team flash images showing so gaplay, and the players finally started to grasp so of it.
Lincoln stood on the balcony of the fourth floor of a high-rise at the edge of the square, watching the players’ expressions shift from confused to slightly enlightened, and then back to puzzled again, and he couldn’t help but feel amused.
The gas produced by the developnt teams had certainly gone through his review and playtesting, so he was well aware: the developnt team had played a little trick with this trailer—
Most of the big scenes appearing in the trailer were the settlent screens after ga failure.
At its core, this ga actually belonged to the strategy simulation genre.
Players were required to play as a Civilizational Manager, developing cities, population, technology, religion, and excavating “Artifacts” from ancient civilization ruins to combat various end-of-world crises.
The main missions of the ga were still manageable, with crises unfolding progressively, but the random mode that followed had an incredibly high difficulty level!
There was also a competitive mode—one player took on the role of “Civilizational Manager” and played the ga normally, while another played as a wizard making the “Destroying Prophecy,” using “Disaster Points” to trade for various calamities, aiming to destroy the civilization.
A standard competitive ladder was also incorporated into the ga.
The gaplay was quite rich and well-executed, fully demonstrating the developnt team’s strength.
After “Destruction Prophecy,” the large screen imdiately began playing the next trailer without pause.
This ti it was a ga centered around “mining” and “exploration,” with the developnt team constructing a grand Underground city, waiting for players to explore.
Then ca the third, fourth, fifth trailers…
One after another, brand new trailers were presented before the players.
Although still sowhat unclear on what exactly was happening, the players didn’t care to dwell on it and just widened their eyes, watching one trailer after the next.
It wasn’t until after all 10 trailers had been played that so “My World” Mod players recognized that so of these developnt teams were very familiar.
After spending so ti confirming the identities behind these developnt teams, soone finally rembered the Cradle Project had invited ten developnt teams, and that’s when everyone had an epiphany.
Then, it was a mix of joy and sorrow—
“So…
the Cradle Project isn’t 10 new gas, but…
20?!!”
“Don’t forget about Yunng’s new ga!
Four trailers have already been released, and there are still five progress nodes behind!”
“So, after ‘Return to the Stars’ is completed, will the virtual world simultaneously go online with nearly 30 new gas?!”
“Are you crazy?
It’s not even New Year’s yet!”
“You may not have New Year’s, but I’m about to start Sumr Vacation hahaha!”
“We can’t possibly play them all!
Absolutely impossible!!”
…
Having new gas to play was undoubtedly great news.
But with so many gas and so little ti, it was truly painful!
Amidst this complex mix of pain and excitent, players busily engaged in heated discussions across various communities.
Ga dia and influencers alike were swamped!
They thought they were just going to record and share a trailer, but Yunng dropped ten of them all at once!
—And they weren’t even Yunng’s own, but rather from ten developnt teams that had not leaked any information before.
Now they had to work overti!
With Yunng pushing the traffic their way, if they didn’t analyze it while working overti, what other choice did they have?
Minutes later, as they hurriedly finished the clips for uploading, they were caught off guard once again—
This ti, Yunng simultaneously released the complete clips!
Ɲ0νǥᴑ.сο
Not only did they release the clips, but they also tagged all the developnt teams, expressing gratitude for their hard work.
The ten developnt teams erged one by one, sharing and thanking Yunng.
Lincoln watched the players’ reactions for a while, then checked the Internet posts, finding the accounts of the ten developnt teams exploding in followers and the comnt sections flooded with curious players asking questions.
He nodded in satisfaction, planning to also post an update to join in the buzz.
But just then, Mavis suddenly shook his hand a few tis.
Lincoln looked at her, puzzled.
Mavis didn’t speak, but in the pupils of her eyes, there was a sunbeam of golden light.
Lincoln imdiately understood: there was an important change in Mavis’s decryption of that “big guy.”
He quickly closed the panel, gave a nod to the Little Princess, and rapidly returned to the Decryption Space.
Camille took it all in stride—Lincoln sotis had sudden monts of inspiration, falling silent, working on the spot, or disappearing with Mavis.
It wasn’t the first ti, so she checked the ti and went off to play with Shuihua.
Lincoln arrived at the Spaceship, staring at the ribbons extending from the huge Light Ball, his eyes shining.
The decryption of this “big guy” wasn’t finished yet, but it was accelerating after passing the halfway point!
Lincoln wasn’t surprised by this—just like helping a baby be born, once the head’s out, the rest follows more quickly!
But another thing did surprise him: this “big guy” had already begun to transmit information to the outside world!
It was a series of Mysterious Symbols, which Lincoln guessed were either encrypted symbols or hieroglyphics—it made no difference to him, as he couldn’t understand either.
“Mavis, can you understand it?”
“It’s so strange,” Mavis said with a hint of confusion.
“Mavis should not have seen this before, but Mavis can understand.”
“What’s it saying?” Lincoln continued to ask.
Mavis blinked her eyes, let go of her doubts, and began analyzing and translating the symbols.
This seed incredibly easy for her.
In just five seconds, she turned to Lincoln, speaking earnestly:
“Do not ascend!
Do not ascend!
Do not ascend!”
Lincoln: “Huh?”
