Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch-Chapter 607 - 575: Divine Revelation?

Chapter 607: Chapter 575: Divine Revelation?

Have you ever experienced being shot at by 3 submachine guns, 3 pistols, 2 rifles, and two machine guns all at once?

Lincoln experienced it.

Facing the enemy’s full-scale attack and crushing firepower, struggling was completely meaningless.

No matter how sharp the knife in your hand, it can’t cut through a tank.

Even with excellent gun skills, it’s no match for machine guns and artillery fire.

Lincoln and Camille Victoria’s fate, along with the other Daxia players at Point A, was sealed as they were wiped out without a doubt.

As an idol, Lincoln was surrounded by a whole team of fans, and intense firepower turned him into a sieve.

Two people who were a bit late to the scene regretted missing the opportunity to “greet” their idol, as Lincoln had already died the moment they arrived.

“Damn.” Lincoln muttered in a low voice after respawning.

“It’s all gone! All the peripherals, all the souvenirs, everything’s gone!”

“You all wait for me!”

He fiercely respawned at Point C, assembled the advantageous forces, and launched a large-scale attack.

–– Everyone knew that he was the real Lincoln, so they were happy to follow him in the charge for a lively scene.

As a result, with the firepower advantage of the high ground and the number advantage, Point B was captured almost without resistance.

Lincoln didn’t stop, and led his army towards Point A. At the same time, they blocked the enemy’s home entrance and began suppressing!

The tank led the way, and everyone rushed into Point A.

After a fierce battle, Lincoln finally vented his anger and sought revenge.

After that, it was basically the suppressing time, and the killing was enjoyable.

Lincoln didn’t compete with others for kills, he just targeted [orz]!

However, this guy was shifty too. After realizing that he was targeted by Lincoln, he simply didn’t show up and slacked off.

Even with the support of the war behemoth and several waves of airship bombing for the disadvantaged Italian players, the disadvantage could not be reversed.

The huge gap persisted until the end.

After the game ended, before Lincoln could even speak his summary speech, orz reappeared in the live broadcast room––

[Join the group, join the group.]

“Huh?” Lincoln was shocked, “You still have the nerve to join the group?”

[We agreed just now, didn’t we?]––orz.

“Do you consider that as agreeing?”

[Hey, don’t worry about these details.]––orz.

Fearing that Lincoln might not want to team up, orz quickly sent another comment: [Idol, aren’t you curious about the Italian social response to the virtual world? I have big news that you’ll definitely be interested in!]

“You won’t just make up any random news to trick me, will you?” Lincoln was very suspicious.

[This is truly amazing news! Absolutely true, can’t even be made up!]––orz assured.

Lincoln thought about it, and driven by curiosity, sent a team invitation.

Orz instantly accepted and came to the combat room.

“Idol!” He walked over quickly and enthusiastically shook hands with Lincoln.

His next sentence was: “Can you invite the other teammates too? They’re also your fans!”

“Heh.” Lincoln sneered dismissively, “Don’t try to curry favor, I’ve experienced your ‘passion.’ Tell me the news first.”

“If I’m satisfied, you can invite them all, but if you’re trying to fool me, I’m sorry, I’ll kick you out too!”

“That won’t happen!” Orz was confident and started to share his news––

“Idol, have you ever heard of Judgement Day?”

“…” Lincoln was speechless, “You’re not trying to preach to me here, are you? Tell me about your Heavenly Father and Savior? I don’t believe in that!”

“No way!” orz shook his head, “I don’t believe that either, I mention this mainly because it’s related to the news.”

“In religious concepts, Judgement Day is the day when the world is about to end and the fate of humanity will be decided. Everyone, whether they are alive or have ever lived, will be summoned before God’s judgment seat and judged by God. The righteous, those who believe in God, will ascend to heaven; while the unrighteous will be cast into the eternal Lake of Sulfur.”

“Hmm… so what?” Lincoln asked patiently.

“I have a local Italian classmate whose father is a police officer. Two days ago they arrested a fanatic religious zealot who claims you received a divine revelation overnight, creating the virtual world – which he also claims is the greatest miracle of the new millennium.”

“Huh?” Lincoln was surprised but somewhat puzzled, “This is at most a fabricated miracle, bragging for his god, right? And he got arrested for that!?”

“It wouldn’t be that bad if it was just that, but there’s more!” orz continued.

“In his words, the virtual world is the foundation of heaven, and when the virtual world is perfected, God will return to the world and give life to the virtual world. That will be the day of Judgement when the world faces its end, and the virtual world will become the only refuge…”

“Stop, stop, stop!!” Lincoln felt that listening to more of this nonsense would be an insult to his intelligence.

“People don’t actually believe in this sort of supernatural nonsense, do they?”

“There are, and quite a few!” orz answered confidently, “There are even several university professors!”

“It was because he was preaching that the end is near and caused a negative impact that led to his arrest!”

“No way, Italy, huh?” Lincoln was still somewhat incredulous, “Isn’t it right next to the Holy City of the Vatican? How can there be such a blasphemous idea? And people actually believe it!”

“Who knows?” orz didn’t care and shrugged.

But soon, he said, “Actually, I feel that this statement has a certain degree of rationality.”

“??? What rationality?”

“The fact that you alone managed to research and develop this sky-shattering virtual world, I think calling it a ‘miracle’ is quite reasonable…”

As soon as these words came out, the others in the combat room nodded almost simultaneously in agreement.

Even Lincoln himself suddenly felt that—

The process by which he obtained this technology seemed really… like a divine revelation?

And it was the classic “divine revelation in a dream”!

This discovery left Lincoln speechless and all he could do was nod, “You win, this news is indeed outrageous, go get your teammates.”

orz went to get his teammates, and Lincoln couldn’t help but ponder:

Where did virtual reality technology actually come from?

He was certain that his hometown didn’t have this technology, so it couldn’t have been brought by him.

And on the day he received the technology, all he experienced was going to sleep and having a dream, in which he vaguely remembered hearing gunshots and explosions.

Everything was hazy, the only clear thing was that he held a seed-like light orb in his hand.

Lincoln asked Mavis if she remembered anything about their hometown, but Mavis said she didn’t remember anything at all.

He originally thought that as Mavis utilized the players’ brainpower to crack the damaged database, they could obtain more detailed information from it. After all, the technology they got, from artificial intelligence to the construction of the virtual world, to counter-attack technology and spaceship blueprints, all seemed quite reliable, and appeared to be branches of the same scientific lineage.

Although the spaceship and the mech couldn’t be built due to a lack of supporting basic technology – let alone the power issue, the materials science was immature, and such a large and heavy object couldn’t support its own weight.

But no matter how you look at it, these technologies were from the same world.

If he had to say, the mech might be an exception, it didn’t look like something that would normally be developed from a standard technology tree. frёewebηovel.cѳm

So the question was, how on earth did this technology end up in his hands?

It couldn’t really be divine revelation, could it?

Lincoln couldn’t figure it out.
