Chapter 1407: Chapter 1267: The Little Princess’s “Sonic Screwdriver”!
“`
Camille Victoria moved in to live with Lincoln as soon as she ca of age, though she was younger, she ended up taking care of him in every aspect of life and work.
This made Lincoln both happy and heartbroken.
You see, Camille Victoria was a rare genius, but now she was content to quietly tuck away her talent and happily stay ho with Lincoln.
Lincoln felt this was sowhat burying her potential, and had repeatedly told her she was free to do whatever she wished, and he would support all her ideas with all his might.
With Lincoln’s strength, this promise was quite astounding!
...
But the Little Princess shook her head every ti, smilingly telling Lincoln that she felt this was the happiest and most blissful way to live, and she truly enjoyed it.
Seeing the Little Princess radiating joy, Lincoln said no more.
—Of course, he couldn’t possibly say sothing like “everyone must realize their own life value,” then insist she does sothing spectacular to avoid wasting her talent.
He simply began to quietly design a ring.
But here’s the thing—
He was never good at beautician work or styling, or else the first-generation Mirage wouldn’t have been just a smooth shell with no decorations.
This ant his preparations for the ring had remained at the designing stage.
The chunk of rhodium gold he’d prepared for the ring had been lying on the shelf for over half a month, and who knew how much longer it would take if he kept dragging his feet.
But now, with a rare opportunity at hand, Lincoln really didn’t want to delay any further.
Although Camille renounced her citizenship, the title of “Princess” still remained, and she was sowhat mindful of this “status.”
But to think of crafting a ring behind Camille’s back was not so easy.
The ring Lincoln wanted to make was a very special one that required dual processing in both the virtual world and the real world.
In the virtual world, hiding his intentions from her would be easy, but in the real world, that was not so simple.
Especially since the Little Princess had witnessed his high-intensity work these days, even getting up from bed every few hours in the middle of the night, with barely any ti to catch his breath, causing her to be extrely worried about him and repeatedly urging him not to rush and to take his ti.
Now that Lincoln had finally completed his work, he wanted to stick by her side every second of every minute.
And this little girl was also incredibly astute, so making up an excuse to deceive her was out of the question.
This gave Lincoln quite a headache.
In the end, it was only after a morning of intimate ti with the Little Princess that Lincoln asked Henry for help with an excuse to slip out and work on the ring.
Even so, as he left the house, he felt that the Little Princess was giving them a strange look.
It seed to carry a bit of…
understanding and indulgence?
What was more interesting was that before Lincoln had said anything, Henry suddenly stated, “You really shouldn’t ask to do this kind of thing next ti.”
“What’s wrong?” Lincoln asked knowingly.
“I always feel that the Princess has realized I wasn’t telling the truth, and that I deliberately took you out,” Henry said with a bit of a headache, “She definitely won’t bla you, so does that an I’m the one to take the fall?”
“Er…” Lincoln was at a loss for words.
Because that was indeed his intention.
“Next ti you should switch to Yue Pengju,” Henry advised.
“I see…
sounds good,” Lincoln agreed readily.
Just two steps away, Yue Pengju’s eyelids twitched at the conversation.
—These two were likely to spend a lifeti together, and if the Little Princess took note of this, it could be endless trouble!
But alas, he was several levels lower in rank and could only swallow his opinions…
It wasn’t far from his ho to the laboratory, and Lincoln quickly got to work.
This ti, it was a solo job for him.
Mavis was replacing him in keeping Camille company, and Doctor DarkStar was utilizing the Mixed Reality Transformation project to visit and learn about this world, thanks to Lincoln’s trust.

The afternoon passed swiftly.
“`
On the Internet, netizens’ initial excitent began to wane, and they started showing so strange reactions one after another.
It was like so kind of withdrawal symptom, as they howled for Cloud Dream to restart the servers quickly, making bizarre statents about how they couldn’t stand being out of the virtual world any longer.
But obviously, Cloud Dream would not comply.
In fact, while players and many companies that used virtual offices were on holiday, Cloud Dream was still working as usual.
This was a comprehensive shutdown for maintenance, and once the maintenance was over, it would be Lincoln’s press conference, with a large amount of new gas and new content scheduled to go online simultaneously.
Moreover, Lincoln had allocated a lot of new content that was required to be updated in the ga simultaneously.
All things considered, the workload was anything but small.
Even though [Return to the Stars] and [Alien Disaster] had been delayed, allowing for ample preparation ti, the day before the big event could not avoid the anxiety of repeated checks.
All 20 developnt teams of the [Cradle Plan] have also released ssages to the public, stating that they had received invitations to attend the press conference the next day.
Under the surveillance of satellites, the rocket engine test stand in Tongchuan ejected fierce flas ti and again.
The intelligence and aerospace agencies of Arica and the European Union collected information anxiously but systematically, speculating on the performance of this new type of rocket based on that intelligence.
Lincoln, wearing a headband, carefully crafted the ring using the precise equipnt of the laboratory.
If he could attack an artificial intelligence’s recognition system with a brooch he made by hand, not to ntion a ring made with ticulous care.
His goal was to make the ring into a tool akin to the iconic item of the mysterious Doctor—”sonic screwdriver”!
Once Camille put on this ring, even without understanding a bit of hacking techniques, she would easily be able to hack into most smart devices she encountered in her life.
All smart locks would open in a swipe; smart cars would start forcefully.
TVs, air conditioners, smart phones, smart watches…
she could even hack into traffic lights!
—— Of course, these features weren’t literally all integrated into the ring.
He had the ability to etch micro circuit boards onto the ring, but he couldn’t defy physics and cram signal amplifiers into it either.
Essentially, the ring itself was just a carrier of “authority.”
The real power extended from the virtual world.
After the Mixed Reality Transformation was complete, this “authority” would bring unimaginable power!
However, at the mont, the power of [Authority] was only deeply felt by Doctor Aster, even Lincoln saw it as if through a mist.
After all, his use of this power had always been cautious and restrained.
—— The Little Princess needed to be even more cautious, and for that reason, Lincoln could confidently entrust her with this authority.
…
A day passed in a flash.
At midnight, maintenance ended, and the virtual world was re-opened.
The Global Gars who had been waiting eagerly poured into the virtual world, curious to see what had changed.
ƝονǤᴑ.ᴄᴑ
But apart from a countdown to the press conference, the virtual world seed to have changed very little—
Only a notice was added in front of the space elevator, indicating that it would start operation the next day.
However, in a corner unnoticed by players:
A black stone slab on the Moon began to vibrate slightly, emitting ripples invisible to the naked eye that quickly swept across the entire Solar System.
On Titan, another black stone slab sensed these ripples, beginning to resonate silently.
On Europa, within a frigid abyss shrouded by glaciers, a control console of a Lost Empire spaceship relic began to flicker with a faint red light.
Life began to gestate on the sea-covered Titan, bizarre in its aspect.
An intangible force under the action of code, joined the underlying rules of the Virtual Universe, infusing them with an idealistic strength.
…
Countless changes had already taken place.
