Chapter 528: Chapter 508: How Much Do You Really Want to Blow Up the Airship?

By any standard, Cloud Dream is now an international corporation.

Especially with the rapid growth of users in Australia and Europe, languages other than Chinese have finally reached a level worth using specifically.

Before this, although Cloud Dream’s gas supported English, Cloud Dream’s publicity has always been in Chinese, and other languages were never used officially.

Anyway, Southeast Asian countries can basically understand it.

It is only now that they have started to do so localization promotion for different countries.

Of course, no one cares about this right now. The crowd on the ground, seeing the fire light up and quickly spreading for dozens of ters, were all frightened.

Especially the security group mbers of Lincoln and the Princess on the ground, and of course, Alex’s personal bodyguard, almost scared to have a heart attack.

—There is limited space on the airship, so it is impossible to bring everyone up. Anyway, there is no danger. The identity of those on board is very clear.

Lincoln and the Princess brought Yue Pengju and Jordan. Their purpose was not for protection, but because they had a good relationship and wanted to enjoy the scenery together and join in the fun.

So when they saw the fire, no one on the ground could remain calm.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm in the end. The flas spread quickly and were quickly extinguished, and the airship still floated steadily in the air.

And seeing the huge word “Battlefield,” who wouldn’t understand that Lincoln was playing a trick.

But in the security team, many people still couldn’t help but swear:

“Crazy!”

“Neurotic! Playing with fire on an airship! Didn’t anyone stop him?”

“What is the person in charge of airship safety doing?! Let him start a fire up there?! It’s a matter of safety. How can they indulge him in ssing around!”

“But…” The person responsible for airship safety inspection also felt wronged!

This was originally Lincoln’s airship. He wanted to hang a huge painting on it to promote his new ga. Isn’t this a reasonable matter?

They had already calculated the weight of this huge painting and were 100% sure that it was far from the load limit of the airship, and the flight would not be affected.

At the sa ti, they also conducted material tests on the excess without affecting the screen and confird that the materials were up to standard.

Isn’t this very responsible and diligent?

Lincoln had repeatedly emphasized: “The promotional painting is essential. Be careful when installing it. Don’t damage the screen and affect the visual presentation effect.”

Under these circumstances, there is no reason to unfold the canvas and directly take samples from the screen, right?

They are just a safety inspection team, not Lincoln’s superior!

Of course, although they feel wronged, they have indeed learned a lesson in their hearts and decided to hold a eting when they go back.

Next ti Lincoln causes trouble, even if it offends him, they must conduct a thorough check!

On the airship deck, the passengers still didn’t know what had happened and only vaguely heard cries from afar.

It was only after taking out their mobile phones and checking the widely circulated animated pictures and videos online that their faces turned pale, realizing what had just happened.

If it weren’t for seeing Lincoln himself calmly standing on the deck, they would definitely have to say sothing!

Lincoln’s calmness, of course, was not without reason: he had tested the material of this thing several tis before, and there was absolutely no problem.

He is very afraid of death and would never joke about his life.

As for the players in the virtual world, except for Little Circle who gave up the invitation and didn’t board the airship, others didn’t take it seriously.

Even soone wanted to see the huge promotional painting on the airship, so crazily, they jumped directly off the deck.

In the virtual world, there is also a process of wearing safety ropes, but unlike the real world: you can also not wear them, and no one will deal with you.

And the actual situation is: hardly anyone wears them.

That guy yelled and jumped directly over the railing, leaped far away, turned skillfully in the air, looked up at the promotional painting on the airship, and imdiately felt magnificent and much more domineering than the photos taken by passers-by.

But the ti was too short. He hadn’t approached the ground buildings, and his body was still in the air when it disappeared and reappeared on the deck.

—The surface is not only a shell but also just an image of the shell, which can only be seen but not touched.

Everyone looked at each other and thought, “So you won’t die by falling, huh?”

So—

“Yahuh!”

“Yahuh~~”

“Ahhhh——”

One by one, they jumped off the deck and started playing as flying people in the air.

But they got tired of it after two jumps—having only this painting couldn’t satisfy them!

The netizens’ thoughts were obviously the sa as theirs, and now they were overwhelmingly posting new posts urging Lincoln to “give us more! Give us more!”

Of course, Lincoln wouldn’t just prepare one painting.

In just a short while, the airship had already reached the airspace above the central business district.

This is already the most central airspace the airship will pass through— The planned flight route does not include the Forbidden City, and as for flying over Chang’an Street with a 600-year history, such arrogance is also unacceptable.

Lincoln’s reputation might be substantial, but it hasn’t reached that extent yet.

So the central business district of Xiajing City is already the closest position to the geographical center, and Lincoln’s second round of publicity officially begins—

In the central business district of Xiajing City, there are naturally no shortage of large outdoor LED displays, which usually show advertisents for luxury products.

But today, at this mont, all the large screens in the business district, regardless of size, location, or price, under the influence of Cloud Dream’s money ability, start to play the sa video— a promotional material for the ga “Battlefield”!

Cloud Dream rarely spends money on promotion, but once they do, it has to be top-notch.

Minutes before on the airship, all passengers had already received an [Eight Sides] auxiliary headband and were instructed to put it on by Lincoln.

It’s just that the screens in the business district, no matter how big, are ant for pedestrians on the streets, and the passengers on the airship can’t see them.

However, with the [Eight Sides] headband, Mavis can create a large screen in the sky for everyone, allowing them to enjoy a top-level audio-visual experience.

At this mont, the large screens on the streets and the virtual world’s sky started playing the video simultaneously—

The beginning of the film features a brief charge, with the cara so close to the charging soldiers that the audience feels as if they are part of the charge.

But before they can get excited, the screen goes black, and all that can be heard is the sound of a booming explosion.

Flas, people being blown away by the explosion, the cara tilting backward under the force of the shockwave.

The cara sways left and right, at tis bright and at tis dark, like the bewildered blinking of soone waking up. But no matter where they turn their eyes, all they see are the soldiers who have been shot, the sparks from the bullets, the booming explosions, and the billowing smoke and dust of the advancing tanks.

As they get up from the ground, a comrade-in-arms is lying lifeless in front of them.

Accompanied by even more intense and close combat scenes, a voiceover begins—

“If they dare to advance, we’ll push them back.”

“From ti to ti, we’ll desperately push forward, forward, and forward again! Until a glimr of dawn appears in the clouds, illuminating the world beyond war.”

The film cuts to a brief intermission in the battle, with soldiers climbing out of their tanks, comrades-in-arms interacting aboard fighter jets, logistics soldiers busily repairing the gigantic machines, and the silhouettes of those who bid farewell to their families as they set foot on the battlefield…

“But every ti we pull the trigger, it’s real people we’re firing at.”

“We are those people.”

The music slowly rises again as the intermission ends, and the battle resus.

Artillery fire, flas, thick smoke, gunfire, and charging, as well as soldiers fighting like beasts amid the burning embers…

Dark skies filled with fighter jets fly over the battlefield, and the ground is already scarred and battered.

“As long as history records one in a thousand of us, the future will be full of our stories.”

“Until that day cos, we will continue to fight.”

“We will face death and fight to the very last mont!”

“Fire!” A soldier roars at the top of his lungs as he pushes the lever down, and the cannons on the battleship echo in unison!

Cavalryn swing their scimitars as they ride their horses across the trenches; from a first-person perspective, soldiers charge and shoot fearlessly; the tremors of tanks firing and the flas of exploding shells are close at hand; fighter jets engage in dogfights in the sky, and anti-aircraft guns relentlessly shoot at them!

Soldiers charging in the darkness, tanks being pierced and blasted open from the inside out, and burning fighter planes spiraling downward…

Behind several hand-to-hand combat soldiers, the airship’s exploding gasbag fills the sky!

Charge! Shoot! Fire!

Machine gun firing, cavalry slashing, tanks advancing, fighter planes diving…

The cara quickly switches between scenes, but all it reveals is the endless fire of battle!

At the climax of the battle sound effects, the title of the ga finally leaps out— Battlefield!

And finally, in a classic reenactnt, two tense faces appear in succession, each raising their guns in hand.

In the foreground are dead soldiers lying on the ground, intermixed together; in the mid-ground, all that is left are the broken, ruinous remains, and in the distance, scorched trees and earth.

These two warriors stand facing each other in this human hell with their guns.

—The video ends here.

It lasts less than two minutes, but it leaves every player’s heart surging with excitent!

What’s a big scene?

This is a big scene!

In comparison, the battle scales in tropolis and Night City seem sowhat petty.

—There are more people, but not enough firepower to create the montum!

This ti, “Battlefield” is a completely different experience, with visible infantry, cavalry, tanks, air force, artillery, and massive battleships… Everything they want is there!

At first glance, the intensity of the combat is not at the sa level, and heavyweight players are ecstatic.

Official accounts for “Battlefield” had already been registered and approved, but in order to prevent leaks, no posts had been shared, nor had they received any special verification.

Now they finally update their account information and upload the promotional video for the first ti.

Then— their number of fans skyrockets!

The views on the promotional video soar at an unprecedented rate! Countless players repeatedly open the video, watching again and again, becoming more and more excited with each viewing!

However, the audience on the airship, while excited, also had mixed feelings—

“How badly do you want to blow up the airship?”

“If you must blow it up, can you wait until we’ve gotten off first?”
