Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - Chapter 352 Chapter 347: Lincoln Breaks Defense

352  Chapter 347: Lincoln Breaks Defense

Lincoln’s sudden appearance sent the netizens in the comment section into a frenzy.

As expected, a barrage of questions soon followed.

At first, Lincoln was quite interested in having a friendly interaction with the netizens.

But upon opening the comments, all he got were questions about whether adult venues could be fully opened:

“With such good technology, how can you not give some benefits to your brothers?”

“Good things can’t be enjoyed alone! Sharing is the virtue of the Internet.”

“With such technology, what can I say to you? Take care of yourself, young man!”

…

“???”

Seeing the increasingly strange and outrageous responses from netizens, Lincoln decisively closed the display window and turned to look at the activity in the “Speed Chase” section of the Whirlpool Game forum.

However, as he looked, he suddenly felt something was off!

It’s normal for you guys to form a small group to discuss the game.

To form a small group to discuss high-yield tasks, money-making strategies, racing skills, and car modification techniques, all for the sake of playing the game better… that’s understandable.

But what the heck is this: “Gambling Technique Practice Mutual Help Group” and “Everyone For Me, Me For Everyone · Reality Edition”?

Do you plan on organizing group gambling?

And… local client information exchange???

Are you guys getting too bold?

Don’t you know that you’re on the verge of breaking the law?!

Also, what are the moderators of this section doing? Why haven’t they locked the thread and deleted it?

“Mavis, report them!”

Lincoln decided to help them with an emergency rescue.

But soon after, he remembered something and hurriedly stopped Mavis: “Wait a moment! Let’s create a new account, enter the group, and check the situation before doing anything.”

Mavis finally turned over and rested on Lincoln’s side, waving her little hand. Two new accounts were instantly added to the groups.

In the “Gambling Technique Practice Mutual Help Group,” the chat content refreshed rapidly, so Lincoln opened this group to take a look first:

“Pair of six!”

“Pair of nine!”

“Pair of Aces!”

“Pair of small Jokers!”

“Pair of big Jokers!!”

“You guys messed up the order again!!”

…

After observing for a while, Lincoln and Mavis realized that this so-called “Gambling Technique Practice Mutual Help Group” was actually just a group of people playing cards in the void…

And occasionally, someone would even play Mahjong in the void…

“These guys are really… idle…” Lincoln couldn’t help but shake his head, and turned to look at the other dangerous group chat.

“Everyone For Me, Me For Everyone · Reality Edition.”

After watching the void card game for a while, many chat messages had already accumulated in this group.

However, as soon as he opened the group chat and saw the group members’ chat content, Lincoln immediately covered Mavis’ eyes: “Don’t look!”

This time, Mavis didn’t try to struggle to see, but her face turned red, obviously having already seen it…

——This so-called “Everyone For Me, Me For Everyone · Reality Edition” was actually an adult image exchange group!

Although the images shared were not explicit enough to be blocked by the chat software…

Those images were still adult content!

Lincoln wanted to report them, but was hesitating.

Because among netizens, there’s a popular saying: “Report adult content, and be struck by lightning from heaven.”

As he hesitated, a huge red exclamation mark and a line of text suddenly popped up in the group——

“This group chat has been banned.”

A vivid expression of “those who walk by the river often get their shoes wet.”

“All right.” Lincoln shook his head, removing his hand from Mavis’s eyes.

He pulled all the display windows to one side of the screen: “I’m done looking, there are hardly any normal people.”

Mavis cooperatively closed these windows.

After lazing around for a while, Lincoln still didn’t want to work, so he came up with a crooked idea: “How about we go play some games?”

Mavis finally perked up: “Yay!”

Lincoln thought for a moment: “Shall we livestream it?”

As a game designer, it’s unacceptable not to play the games he created.

And as long as he’s livestreaming, it’s not goofing off, it’s working!

Mavis obediently made an “OK” hand gesture.

So, Lincoln and Mavis logged into “Paradise” and the live broadcast room started up. Bored netizens flooded in:

“Look friends! Who is this!”

“Anchor, aren’t you too lazy? How long has it been since your last broadcast?”

“Exactly, the last live broadcast was last time!”

“Play ‘Night City’! not ‘Paradise’!”

“Anchor, with your high access, you can broadcast those exclusive stores, right? Hurry up and go to broadcast, I’ll send you rockets!”

…

Lincoln glanced around, seeing no valuable questions, he joined the disguised Mavis, put on their jackets and entered the Candy Track.

Lincoln put on a fox outfit, and Mavis wore a rabbit outfit with two long ears. They hopped around as they walked, looking adorable.

“Let’s get started! Three Champion Crowns! Not ending the stream until we get them!”

Princess Camille Victoria felt bitterness in her heart.

She had to balance her studies, intern at Cloud Dream, and constantly participate in and even organize volunteer activities. She was already very busy.

So far this month, with two extra courses due to her interests, she had already completed two.

Now, because of the virtual concert, she was pulled by her teacher Alex to practice singing.

Every time her teacher made higher demands, she regretted agreeing to do it. Repeatedly singing the same lyrics over and again.

Now, finally satisfying her teacher, she was granted a short break. But then she saw Lincoln publicly playing games during his first workday.

Camille Victoria looked pitifully at Alex: “Teacher, can I have today off? The concert is still a long way, right?”

Alex looked helpless at Little Princess’s expression but finally nodded after thinking about it.

“Thank you! You are the best, teacher!”

Camille Victoria swiftly packed up and ran away from her teacher’s house.

—This was Alex’s other residence.

Compared to the place where Alex usually lived, this place was more spacious, more remote, and better equipped – a place specially used for practicing singing.

“Star News” and the persistent paparazzo Deng Xin were still staking out around the coffee shop.

Unfortunately, they continued to have no luck for a long time.

Until the real big news was announced by Alex’s team and Cloud Dream!

Half an hour later, the intern “Victoria” joined Lincoln’s live broadcast team.

Only after Princess Camille Victoria joined, Lincoln discovered that her season level was actually full!

Lincoln looked at his own pitiful level, then looked at Mavis, who had also reached max level at some point. He was full of question marks.

After thinking about it, he turned his attention to the Little Princess.

Mavis was fine, she had plenty of time. Even if Lincoln didn’t let her cheat, she could easily reach max level.

The problem was Camille Victoria. Weren’t you busy?

“I play every night.”

Camille Victoria was a bit embarrassed, but she really loved this game.

Every time Shuihua called for her, although Camille Victoria knew she should really be more focused on her college entrance exams, she couldn’t help but go online and play with Shuihua…

In the end, she could only comfort herself: “At least, I’ll urge her to go offline and rest early.”

Just like that, her level was full before she even noticed…

For the rest of the morning and entire afternoon, the three of them spent their time in the game.

Players were surprised to find that this time Lincoln’s live broadcast was completely different from the previous “Assassins’ Alliance” style.

During that broadcast, Lincoln pulled all sorts of stunts:

From using a screwdriver as a Metropolitan All-Pass to skipping main missions and fishing, setting off fireworks, and star-gazing in Central Park — just about every step was unexpected.

It even led to a small trend among players.

But this time, in “Paradise”, he was no different from an ordinary player from start to finish.

Be it falling off tracks, getting knocked by gigantic pendulums, one after another, all eat-and-drink operations.

Even in a rare leading position, just one step away from the crown, jumping to reach it, arms outstretched, about to snatch and secure victory—

But, at that crucial moment, he got grabbed by the fox’s tail by a player following him, pulling him down!

The player in third place overtook Lincoln and the one who pulled him down, picking up the championship.

Lincoln was completely frustrated and burst out with a series of censored words: “I *!****!” Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

Thanks to Mavis’s quick reaction, her live audience could mute the swearing.
