Translator: 549690339

Lincoln opened his eyes and saw Princess Camille next to him, also opening her eyes. The emotional turmoil from the game hadn’t yet subsided, but her expression had already settled down.

Once again, she turned back into the graceful lady with measured mannerisms, as if the startled young girl from the game was just an illusion created by Lincoln.

At this moment, she carefully removed the headband and held it in her hands, inspecting it once again.

She had been surprised in the game world already, but after playing for several hours the surprise did not dissipate. Instead, the feeling of shock became even more clear and vivid.

First, she opened the door and whispered something to her bodyguard, then turned back to gaze at Lincoln, asking incredulously, “You did this in less than a week?”

“Yeah, it was quite a bit of work,” Lincoln nodded.

Camille Victoria was at a loss for words. Just a bit of work?

Such breakthrough technology, shouldn’t it be something that could only be achieved by countless scientists in world-class laboratories after half a lifetime of research?

You did it all by yourself, and it’s only a bit of work?

Are you even human?

The shock of the princess was hard to put into words. She composed herself after a few deep breaths and sincerely praised, “It’s really incredible, like a magic technology! Student Lincoln, you’ve made a groundbreaking technological breakthrough that no one in history has done before. Once this technology is released, you will amaze the entire world!”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Seeing the admiring look in the princess’s eyes, it was impossible for Lincoln not to feel proud.

And he had every reason to be proud.

After getting his hands on these technologies, he didn’t just put them in the back of his mind.

While creating the game these past few days, he’d also been tirelessly practising. He had now mastered these technologies. Even without Mavis, he could make a set of equipment and system on his own at any time, just slowly.

However, time was limited. Princess Camille had a schedule ahead, so he didn’t waste any time and asked the princess directly, “Student Zhu, can you introduce me to your bodyguard?”

“Brother Jian? Why do you want to know him?” Student Zhu felt curious.

While feeling puzzled, she was also a bit apprehensive: Does he want to know my future trip? What is he going to do?

Unfortunately, Lincoln couldn’t read minds and didn’t guess what small Student Zhu was thinking.

In other words, the security level that this student should theoretically enjoy might be even higher than the princess’s!

He felt immense pressure and really wanted to step outside to check for any security risks around.

“Hello, Lincoln.” Lincoln extended his hand to him.

“Hello, Lincoln.” The bodyguard, trying to appear unalarmed, shook Lincoln’s hand, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Well, I’m working on a shooting game, but I don’t have the relevant experience. I’d like to ask a professional like you where I can learn and practice shooting and enhance my gun skills.”

“???” Jordan managed to keep a straight face but was utterly confused, “Aren’t you supposed to be doing scientific research? Have you become addicted to making games? And why would you need to practice shooting for that?”

Wouldn’t just firing a couple of shots for experience suffice?

“Yes, it’s very important.” Lincoln emphasized the words “very important,” affirming his need.

Jordan looked at the Princess again, who nodded in agreement.

“Okay, the day after tomorrow is my day off. I’ll take you to the shooting range in the morning.”

“Where should we meet?” Lincoln hoped it wouldn’t be too far.

His plan is to release the video directly because he’s not worried about delays, given that NetDragon wouldn’t be able to catch up with him even if they had another decade, he could sleep soundly.

But he didn’t want to prolong things any further. He wasn’t particularly diligent or hardworking. On the contrary, he preferred to slack off and have fun.

But now, he couldn’t even leave his house, as he would be stopped on the way.

So he wanted to wrap up the mess in front of him as soon as possible, make a good chunk of money honourably, and move out of this 20 square meters room.

But he also understood that once the video was released, he would once again be in the spotlight, even more intense than now, multiplied by five or ten.

So he would have to disguise himself when he went out the day after tomorrow, and he wasn’t sure how far he could get with his disguise.

Fortunately, reliable bodyguard brother immediately assuaged his worries, “I’ll come to pick you up the day after tomorrow morning. Don’t casually go out.”

Jordan would never rest easy leaving such a precious treasure to roam around alone!

“Okay, it’s a deal!” Lincoln was instantly happy that there would be someone to pick him up, and he wouldn’t have to walk.

“By the way, can you do me another favor?” Lincoln remembered the video he had to shoot and happily enlisted the help of this strong man.
