Chapter 117: Chapter 115: Delivering Diapers Over a Thousand Miles, A Light Gift…
Translator: 549690339
Lance was a first-class professional player who had played many gunfight games, some with astonishingly high levels of realism in their modeling.
The problem was, all those games were played on VR equipment.
The actual operation involved using hand -held controllers, pressing buttons to shoot.
In this situation, even if the gun modeling in the display was extremely realistic, it wouldn’t matter.
The experience of actually gripping cold metal gun, compared to holding an ergonomically treated matte plastic material controller, was worlds apart!
If it weren’t for the suggestive impact brought by the neural modulator-demodulator, ordinary people might even spend a lot of time psychologically preparing themselves just to shoot at a human-shaped NPC. Perhaps only after hitting a few people and realizing there would be no bloody carnage would they start to adapt.
Wanting to hit a target in a gunfight for the first time is almost impossible.
Even with Nobita Nobi taking over Lincoln’s body, the first target was a stationary one, not a moving enemy.
However, Lance did make a discovery, quickly noticing a few words floating in the air to the right of the gun barrel:
[Shooting Mastery Lv.l (1/10)]
He understood instantly! The frustration of firing empty shots vanished at once.
Having seen the progress bar, why would he still be frustrated? Keep grinding! Grind it to the max!
Most ordinary players weren’t as decisive as Lance, and were briefly panicked when they got their hands on a gun.
However, upon seeing the words [Shooting Mastery Lv.l (0/10)], they immediately calmed down and enthusiastically joined in the gunfight.
And they could be uninhibited, getting shot was not an option – with Firefox nearby and Old Dad on the opposite side, both able to intercept bullets, how could the players be hurt?
After the initial set up, even though it wasn’t very long, the astonishing realism and richness of the spatial scene had all players deeply immersed in the experience.
As a result, the intense gunfight that ensued without any warning was thrilling and adrenaline-pumping.
The subsequent high-speed car chase and highway battle were even more intense, pushing the excitement to even higher peaks.
Of course, some people took unconventional paths and had no interest in all the fighting and killing.
Like Super Tomato, focusing solely on finding game loopholes.
Some people didn’t even bother with the main missions and just wandered around the city.
Someone even managed to find an amusement park, emptied their wallet, and discovered that they had just enough for an entrance ticket.
Enthusiastically, they bought a ticket and began exploring the amusement park.
Some people were even more outrageous, triggering the convenience store battle quest but stubbornly refusing to take the gun handed over by Sister Firefox.
They even took advantage of the intense battle to resolutely run away.
Firefox, under the focused attack of the protagonist Old Dad, couldn’t manage to stop him.
The result was a hilarious situation: Firefox and her subordinates fought fiercely with Old Dad and his subordinates, with the players – their common target – nowhere to be found as they went shopping instead…
Lincoln asked Mavis to record this issue in silence.
This loophole needed to be fixed, or else it would be too ridiculous.
It’s not that players aren’t allowed to go sightseeing, but you can’t just trigger the plot and then suddenly go shopping during the intense battle, right?
Alas! The freedom given to them was too much!
However, the number of loopholes and issues found during the closed beta was
completely acceptable.
In fact, compared to “Assassins’ Alliance” in terms of size and production cycle, it’s already astonishingly few.
Players also fully experienced the game’s massive and rich explorable maps, intense main storyline battles, acquisition of firearms, racing, skills, and the separate categories of life experience and combat experience.
Acceptance was generally high, and players adapted very quickly.
This ruled out the possibility of major issues arising, and Lincoln finally put his mind at ease.
Today, however, was destined to be eventful.
In the afternoon, Lincoln tidied up and prepared to go to the experience store.
After all, when players came to play his game, it was necessary to make an appearance.
By the time he got there, the closed beta would be just about over.
No need to get up early or make small talk, just show my face and thank everyone for their support.
But before leaving the house, the little speaker in the living room suddenly came to life.
It was Mavis talking: “Master, the media we blacklisted is sending us a lawyer’s letter online.”
“A lawyer’s letter?” Lincoln confirmed, “Not even a court subpoena?”
“Mavis checked, none!”
“Then I’ll leave it be for now.” Lincoln left the house.
There was no need for farewells, as Mavis was always by his side.
Lincoln didn’t take the lawyer’s letter seriously, but the netizens were watching with excitement.
Today was just too interesting!
First, there was the weekly Mirage Console rush, followed by the irresistible hot search headlines.
However, as soon as the hot search headlines were posted, they were instantly slapped in the face.
—No one expected that Lincoln would not only launch the Mirage, but also complete the multi-platform version update of the game without any announcement.
These people became the laughing stock and were mocked mercilessly by the netizens.
But when the netizens finished laughing, they thought it was the end of the matter.
Who would have thought that in the afternoon, these media and influencers, who claimed to be petitioning for the people by demanding a multi-platform version of the Cloud Dream game, suddenly changed their attitude and began indignantly sending lavvyer’s letters to Cloud Dream.
They accused Cloud Dream of malicious rumors and defamation, causing them great harm and loss, and demanded an apology, compensation, and remediation.
Today, the netizens had only one feeling: slow down! There are too many melons to eat!
“Turning your face faster than turning a book, so what exactly do you want to
“One second ago: I’m a good person. Next second: I tricked you!”
“Is there really a problem? I don’t know if the statistics are all-inclusive, but
I’ve seen 25 accounts simultaneously sending lawyer letters to Cloud Dream.”
“I’ve seen 28! Don’t cause trouble, Assassins’ Alliance just started closed beta today, and I’m waiting for a quick release. Don’t let this nonsense jeopardize it.”
However, Lincoln knew that a lawyer’s letter and a court subpoena were completely different matters.
The latter had legal validity and meant there was a real lawsuit.
No matter if they won or lost, at least it was something that they really had to respond to, a trouble that had to be dealt with.
But a lawyer’s letter?
It’s a paper tiger, sorry, too stiff even to wipe your ass!
It has no legal effect, it’s just for scaring people, and only those who don’t know any better would be frightened.
Frankly, the lawyer’s letters were less intimidating than Lincoln’s blacklist!
Ignoring the distractions, Lincoln arrived at the experience store, where the first day’s testing had just ended.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw a man suddenly stand up from the sparse crowd, quickly grab a cloth bag next to him, and excitedly run towards him.
Yue Pengju immediately became alert and was about to block the man, almost putting himself in front of Lincoln in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Lincoln had quick reactions and recognized the person rushing over as Streamer Yi, so he patted Yue Pengju on the shoulder to reassure him and walked over to greet him.
Soon, he regretted this decision…
Lincoln’s appearance and Yi’s abrupt movements caught the attention of everyone in the experience store. Many video uploaders, who were filming the closing shots, also pointed their cameras at them.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yi rushed to Lincoln’s side.
He straightforwardly held out the cloth bag with both hands and handed it to Lincoln.
“Thank you so much for Cloud Dream’s invitation! These are some local specialities I brought for you, please accept them!”
Lincoln didn’t think much and, believing Yi had brought some local specialities, curiously opened the cloth bag.
Then he saw two huge packs of diapers….
