Chapter 636: Chapter 603: The Second National Prohibition!
Upon hearing Little Chun’s “threat”, Randall hesitated for a mont.
But only a mont.
He quickly shook his head with determination and said, “It might not be all his doing, I’m not sure, but I didn’t do it anyway.”
Then, not waiting for Little Chun to continue, he jumped right past it and replied to Little Chun’s original question:
“Isn’t this fairly normal? To discuss naughty stuff in mainstream gas, and then flip the script, talking about plot depth and philosophy in sexual gas, isn’t this what gars often do?”
“In Night City, they’re given what they want and although they enjoy it, they still feel it lacks so challenge. The thrill is to introduce the naughty stuff in places where it’s not permitted, this provides a greater sense of achievent, similar to the thrill of ‘stealing a kiss’.”
Little Chun thought about it and agreed, “That makes sense, you n seem to get it!”
“n?” Randall looked curiously at Little Chun. “What do you an?”
“Boss, in Terraria, there’s a completely naked young girl, not wearing any clothes at all!” Little Chun fixed her eyes on Randall and said in a tempting voice, “A vulnerable and beautiful young girl, lost in the dark underground cavern… How does that sound? Exciting right? Want to check it out in the ga? There might be a surprise….”
As she spoke, though,l she suddenly stopped, her face turning a bit red. She quickly withdrew her hand into the blanket, trying to stop the hand that was eagerly wandering.
However, she heard Randall say with a laugh, “A vulnerable beautiful young girl?”
“Isn’t there one right in front of ? Why would I need to find one in the ga?”
Little Chun didn’t really stop his hand, instead she clenched her hands together, shyly lowering her head and snuggling into the arms of her new husband, avoiding his amused gaze.

Ludu, Qixia, Xu Family Boxing Gym.
Lincoln wasn’t really neglecting the ga. When he wasn’t training, he was still keeping an eye on the ga’s launch and the progress of the [Survival Challenge] event.
When he saw the atmosphere on the Terraria forum quickly shift from “horrifically hardcore” and “so hard,” to “Tree Nymph Big Sister is great, I can do it!”, he scratched his head in dismay.
“If you guys keep this up, I’m afraid you’re going to be tricked badly when you et the [Lost Girl] underground…”
“But…” Lincoln thought for a mont, “That might not be such a bad thing?”
“What’s a ga without surprises!”
Would it be risky to put a naked NPC in the ga?
Lincoln didn’t think so at all.
We’re an 18 ga, composed of solely adult players. It doesn’t make sense to freely view gore and violence, yet be shy about sexuality.
That would be unhealthy, right?!
Besides, with the debut of [Marriage Contract] and [Lover Contract], you can even experience physical intimacy in the virtual world. Taking off clothes is downright ta.
He was sufficiently rested after catching up on the gossip.
Lincoln put away his phone. With the help of Master Xu’s students at the gym, he put on his protective gear and returned to the center of the courtyard.
Matthew’s father, Grandmaster Matthew, also put on his protective gear and briskly walked to face Lincoln.
Yesterday at ten in the noon, Lincoln and others arrived at the Xu Family Boxing Gym.
Although everyone had talked about wanting to learn from Grandmaster Xu on the way, once they actually t him, they beca as quiet as quail, acting like well-behaved children.
Eventually, they sat on the sidelines, watching idiotically as Lincoln and Matthew unpacked the Mirage Console from their luggage and logged into the virtual world for combat practice.
— They had not been prepared to bring their own equipnt, so they ended up watching for most of the day…
Through quick combat in the virtual world, Lincoln and Grandmaster Matthew rapidly familiarized themselves with each other — Grandmaster Matthew essentially got to know everything about him.
Grandmaster Matthew, as expected of his status, not only figured Lincoln out, but also made specific adjustnts to Lincoln’s martial arts techniques based on his habits. He fixed a few errors that even Matthew had not noticed.
Now, they were even using real weapons for practice while wearing full professional protective gear.
The Boxing Gym is fully equipped with relevant weapons and protective gear. Lincoln’s months of training had also given him good physical condition, ensuring he had sufficient stamina for frequent practice battles.
If all goes well, starting tomorrow morning, the protective gear can slowly be removed one by one, until Lincoln feels it’s enough.
He is very optimistic.
Yue Pengju is worried.
With ti being precious, Lincoln doesn’t delay any longer, taking the initiative to attack again, rushing towards Matthew with his knife!

By the afternoon, when the players who had been fighting hard all night ca online once again to continue playing the ga, the team in Dubai, which has a 4-hour ti difference with Daxia, had finally finished their long overti and completed their work.
The Cloud Dream server center in Dubai was officially completed.
——Dubai does indeed have money. In order to get this done quickly, they even packed up the servers and technical staff and flew them to Dubai.
Compared to their speed, xico and Brazil, who chose sea freight, still had millions of Mirage Consoles floating in the sea.
But the money they spent was worth it: the server center was not only completed at an astonishing speed, but they also started testing and trial runs.
From Dubai’s point of view, this was just a small step in their great endeavor to make Dubai the world’s top city, a perfect addition to their achievent.
But for so of their neighbors, things were completely different.
Especially Persia, which was just across the Persian Gulf, taking a distant view.
Being a conservative theocratic state, let alone the scantily clad female NPCs that Lincoln put in the ga, not to ntion storefronts that offered special services in Night City, even the fashionable urban won in tropolis who dressed sexually, they found it hard to accept.
Let alone in the virtual world, everyone can disregard the policies and rules in reality and dress indifferently.
And they have no jurisdiction in the virtual world and can’t control it at all.
Those who don’t understand might think this is a trivial matter, but in reality, it is very serious.
In a theocratic state, a large part of the legitimacy of governnt rule cos from religion. The more thorough the religious details are implented, the stronger the religious concepts will be, and the more stable the society and political power will be.
If there is an uncontrollable virtual world where the nationals can live without constraints, freely accessing information and culture from all over the world, they will inevitably break away from ideological shackles and beco secular in reality sooner or later.
To so extent, secularization is a good thing in a city like Dubai and even so Middle Eastern countries as it aligns them with the rest of the world.
But so other highly conservative countries find it completely unacceptable.
Like Persian, the first populous country in the Middle East where Lincoln wanted to set up a server center without knowing the constraints.
In Persia, even television programs are strictly screened, with no content showing won’s body curves allowed, let alone offensive characters like treants.
As for Night City, it’s at least on the “should be condemned” level.
…
In the afternoon, local ti in Persia, the Mirage Console was officially added to the list of prohibited purchases, and as of that day, all inbound consoles would be intercepted by customs.
Thus, sothing quite outrageous happened——
On this planet, the largest and most advanced immigrant country representing openness, Arica, and Persian, the largest and oldest conservatively theocratic country, both announced a ban on the Mirage Console at the sa ti.
This almost represents the two extre powers in the world, facing Cloud Dream, yet they’re making the exact sa decision.
It is indeed a mockery of nature.
Oh, there’s one more thing.
Just 10 minutes before Persian officially added the Mirage Console to its import ban list, Cloud Dream received an order for 10,000 Mirage Consoles from Persia.
The order even had a note: “You can ship as normal, no need to worry about transportation issues.”
No one knows who placed the order…
