Chapter 283: Chapter 281: The start of the big project!

Translator: 549690339

The progress of the ancient city’s construction is certainly far from perfect at present.

Not to mention that the architectures of each dynasty are separate from each other, their constructions aren’t even complete either.

In terms of scale, it is naturally much larger than many tourist areas that mainly focus on the “ancient city” characteristics.

But Lincoln’s plan is not just about building a few tourist streets and calling it a day.

If this project starts, it must be on par with the scale of the “Metropolis” or “Night City”.

Put simply, what Lincoln needs is a complete ancient Chang’an City!

If possible, he may even add the Divine Capital Luoyang!

This would be an enormous project, so big that it would surpass all the plans that Cloud Dream has made so far.

The current scale of architecture is far from enough, at most it is just a start, or even just the start of the start.

But that’s alright, Lincoln is not in a hurry.

The “Ancient City Construction” project has not even been going on for a month since it really started.

Lincoln won’t just let it develop on its own afterward, but will continue to provide support, even gradually forming a team outside the foundation, specifically to construct a virtual ancient Chang’an City.

This Chang’an City will not be as rigorous as the researchers from the foundation, but it will certainly be more ambitious, more spectacular, and have more atmosphere!

Of course, it’s still too early to talk about this given the current situation, but it’s never too early to start preparing in advance!

Xu Chun is part of Lincoln’s plan.

And he’s the key person for the game’s “combat” section.

The key is not only his self-created “Virtual Martial Arts” which has a high intensity in the virtual world.

But also because he had traveled to many martial arts schools and was familiar with many styles, and had also accumulated a considerable network.

“What? I’ve been promoted?!”

Xu Chun logged into the virtual world, accepted the invitation, crossed the teleportation gate, and saw Lincoln.

He hadn’t even had time to report back on “checking out” various clubs yet, and hadn’t even had time to complain about the boredom of these days, when he heard a shocking news that seemed absurd.

“Yes, you heard me right.” Lincoln nodded, “From tomorrow, you will be the group leader of Cloud Dream’s Cold Weapon Combat Technology Development Group. Your salary, bonuses, and benefits will all be elevated accordingly, don’t worry, I’m not deceiving you with an empty title.”

Xu Chun’s mouth hung open in surprise, “No! That’s not the issue, I’ve never even worked a proper day! How can I be a group leader?”

“Why not?” Lincoln countered, “You are definitely capable, I have faith in you!”

“But, but…” Xu Chun even began to stutter, “I don’t know anything about technical development! How can I convince everyone!”

“Technological issues are not a problem, I will arrange two reliable technical staff to assist you. As for technology development, you can learn about it if you’re interested, otherwise, leave it to them. Just remember, your core competitiveness lies in virtual combat, as long as you keep progressing in this regard, no one can replace you!”

Lincoln had the candidates for technical staff in mind.

He generally does not manage the personal hobbies of his employees, but he does pay some attention to some particularly special ones.

It’s not difficult to find reliable martial arts schools in the capital of Daxia where martial arts are popular, and of course there are employees who like to go to martial arts schools to train after work.

These two technicians are new to this “pit”, and are currently at the peak of their enthusiasm for martial arts.

If they join to give technical support to Xu Chun, as long as Xu Chun shows off a bit, communication will be very smooth.

Seeing Lincoln’s trust in him, Xu Chun had no reason to refuse and had to agree: “Alright, I understand, I will do my best!”

Xu Chun has made up his mind not to let Lincoln down.

“So, what should I do?”

“Form your own team!”

“Huh?” Xu Chun was once again dumbfounded.

In just a few exchanges, Xu Chun’s mood once again encountered a roller coaster.

You suddenly promote me, don’t give me team members, and want me to recruit people myself?

“Take a look around.” Lincoln gestured to Xu Chun.

Upon entering, Xu Chun was startled by his “promotion”. Now, with Lincoln’s words, he finally took the time to look around, immediately noticing the difference. “Ancient-style architecture?”

—He was not capable of determining the era of the buildings based on their characteristics. He could only distinguish between modern or ancient architecture.

“Exactly, Tang Dynasty architecture.” Lincoln nodded in agreement.

His voice gradually lowered: “Imagine this, fighting amongst these ancient buildings, walking on walls under the moonlight, pressing on with weapons in a rainy night, how does that feel?”

Listening to Lincoln’s description and looking at the surrounding ancient buildings, Xu Chun couldn’t help but become engrossed in his imagination:

In the ancient times, he could be a free ranger, carrying out deeds of chivalry and avenge to his heart’s content. He could drink freely with strangers in unknown taverns and draw his sword to kill people in bustling streets over enmities!

Embracing the blade, killing amidst the hustle and bustle!

That’s the true spirit of chivalry!

As he thought, Xu Chun became more excited, and he asked Lincoln excitedly,

“So, are we going to make a genuine chivalrous person game?”

Lincoln nodded, “This will be an unprecedented mega project, and what you need to do is the most critical part—combat!”

“I hope you can understand that to construct an adequately real ancient metropolis and show the sparkle of swords and guns in the city, your martial arts alone is far from enough. So, I hope you can invite more experts to join this project. The collision of varied martial arts, different styles, and eighteen weapons can all be key technology reserves for this game’s development.”

“This part is very, very crucial, but we are utterly clueless about martial arts, so we can only rely on your help.” Lincoln confessed honestly, “But rest assured, I will provide all the support you need.”

Xu Chun didn’t feel any crisis of losing “uniqueness”. On the contrary, he was more excited!

He could wave the banner of Cloud Dream and invite more experts to join the path of “Virtual Martial Arts”!

If he’s surrounded by like-minded people, wouldn’t it be stronger than going alone?

As for whether he could bring people?

Impossible.

Who’s the person on the other side?

The Richest Man of Daxia!

It might be challenging to invite Grandmasters, and he doesn’t have that status either. But for ordinary experts—

Martial artists also need to support their families, and they need money too!

Carrying a few bags of cash, he could absolutely form a team!

“No problem!” Xu Chun agreed instantly, almost slapping his chest, “I’ll set off tomorrow. Give me half a month, and I’ll bring in at least ten people!” “Then I’ll count on you!” Lincoln was naturally pleased with Xu Chun’s confidence.

He immediately stated that the first batch of “headhunting” funds would be allocated to the group’s dedicated fund the next morning, ensuring his satisfaction!

With Lincoln’s assurance, Xu Chun was eager to act. As soon as he left the virtual world, he opened his contact list and began to contact experts.

Meanwhile, Lincoln finally breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the Spaceship, found Mavis again, and planned to check on the game’s closed beta situation.

Just as his behind touched the sofa, a video communication from Samuel came in:

“Boss, the trailer for ‘Paradise’ is ready now. Would you like to check it out

“No!” Lincoln immediately objected, enough is enough, right?!

“I’ll check it out tomorrow. Today I’m going to… quietly observe inside the game situation.”

Seeing Lincoln’s expression on the video, Samuel understood: the Boss wants to slick off!

However, paying attention to the game’s internal testing was indeed a formal task, Samuel could not refute.

But Samuel wasn’t easy to deal with either. Without another word, she sent the trailer to Lincoln first, then said, “All right, I’ve sent it to you. Remember to check it tomorrow.”

After saying this, she hung up the video call.

From her understanding of the Boss, slacking off was just a sporadic special state, diligence was the norm.

Just sending the trailer over was enough, he would definitely check it before he went to sleep at the latest!
