Chapter 263: Chapter 261: Metropolis News Special Edition

Camille Victoria’s guess was spot on.
After the Freedom Day competition ended, there was no way that the supercomputing center, which was used to upgrade Mavis, wouldn’t be put to use, right?
Normal player growth doesn’t require supercomputing; the fuzzy computing power of their brains is more than enough to handle their own needs.
But Lincoln knew that if he didn’t give Mavis some new tasks, she could use the 60 billion plus supercomputing center solely for browsing the internet, eating melon, and gossiping.
So Lincoln simply imitated the competition map and created a public version of the open Metropolis map.
Because it doesn’t need to maintain hundreds of virtual cities that can accommodate tens of thousands of players fighting simultaneously, like the competition, the computing power is greatly surplus, and finally expanded to a capacity of 100,000.
However, as for this map, he hasn’t fully figured out which direction to develop it in, so it won’t be open to players on a large scale for the time being.
So for now, the entire Metropolis is a safe zone, only available for sightseeing and not allowed for combat.
As for saying that they are deceiving players by using incomplete content as rewards?
How could that be!
Create a framework to lure players in and then gradually improve the game content—isn’t that very common?
This is advanced experience from industry predecessors!
As for the final champion team, the rewards, of course, are more abundant.
Naturally, the virtual currency in the game goes without saying—it’s triple that of the 1000 -player level.
The Golden Freedom Day Medal is a given.
The Golden Championship Trophy is also indispensable, with the base engraved with [Freedom DayChampion].
Attached special effect: [Champion’s Sword]. After using it, you can summon a custom-shaped sword/knife, which has [Indestructible] effect in the game and cannot be damaged by any reason.
—The appearance will be based on player requests, with Cloud Dream official designers creating the design.
After the design is completed, Cloud Dream will also find a real-life sword-casting master to forge a one-to-one ratio of real swords for the players.
Regardless of how complicated the design is in the game, they will find a way to reproduce it in reality for you!
Then, the staff of Cloud Dream will personally deliver it to the hands of champion players to honor their bravery.
That night, the “Metropolitan News Freedom Day Special Edition!” was rushed out by Randall and Samuel’s team working together.
This week’s “Metropolitan News” had been held back, waiting for the event to
end and then release a special edition.
Players had only one feeling about this—it’s like New Year!
They were already discussing the relevant content of the competition on the Internet, which is the last wave of heat for the event.
Without any new updates, the game’s popularity would quickly decline and return to normal by tomorrow.
But now, Cloud Dream has introduced a permanent map to remove the 10-player limit, and everyone is eager to know what this map is for and whether there will be any major moves.
Most importantly—how can players who didn’t make the cut in the competition or even didn’t sign up for it from the beginning enter this city?! Everyone spent the same amount of money on the game, so don’t discriminate!
However, their hopes were destined to be dashed.
In this issue of “Metropolis News,” there is no content on this topic at all.
Both familiar male and female hosts sat down on chairs that were completely welded to the floor and began to broadcast the news to the players.
As usual, they started with the perspective of the natives, reporting on the astronomical number of more than 38.64 million bank robberies that have surged since the massive strike of the metropolitan police.
Then they announced the latest progress to the players: “Although the police’s demand for adding tanks didn’t receive the city council’s satisfaction, the city council successfully appeased the Metropolitan Police Department with a pay raise for everyone. Starting tomorrow, the strike will officially end, and all metropolitan police officers will return to their posts to crack down on criminal activities and maintain public security in the metropolis.”
“No way!” Many players lamented in the comments, “I haven’t robbed enough banks yet! I need to buy a house!”
But this wailing obviously didn’t help, as the anchor continued to broadcast the news without any change in expression.
“Due to the absence of the metropolitan police, the public security environment in the metropolis has faced extreme challenges in the past week.”
The male host nodded, “Thriving.”
Female host Jenny glared at him fiercely, but the male host remained calm, giving her a slight smile as a show of defiance, shaking his body lightly to demonstrate that the chair was completely fixed to the floor and couldn’t budge now.
Jenny’s forehead was bulging with veins, and she forcibly composed herself to continue broadcasting the news.
“The important source of weapons for the metropolitan gangs, the well-known arms dealer Hungry Wolf Buck in the city, was stormed by residents who took matters into their own hands, not only suffering significant losses in his ranks but also having a large number of weapons for sale taken away. It is said that even a main battle tank was included!”
As soon as the female host finished speaking, a music sounded, and an achievement trophy slowly emerged around the players who were watching the live broadcast in the virtual world and participated in the tank robbery case. —This was a make-up achievement.
In order not to affect the smooth progress of the competition, achievements achieved by players during the competition weren’t immediately awarded trophies.
However, Lincoln thought that the efforts of the players shouldn’t be underestimated, so after some contemplation, he decided to issue them simultaneously during the airing of “Metropolitan News.”
Most of these over one thousand players were gathered on the newly opened public map. The excitement caused by more than a hundred diamond trophies appearing at the same time immediately attracted the attention of all players, who came over to watch the excitement.
The dazzling diamond trophy appeared in front of the players.
The name of the achievement was engraved on the base —[Nemesis of Crimes]!
Although Camille Victoria’s team actively smashed their way in, killing and looting in the process, they didn’t exactly look like good people.
However, their targets were both gang members and illegal arms dealers, straight-up big bad guys.
[Nemesis of Crimes], spot on!
Players gathered around those who received the achievement, saying “Awesome” and “Congratulations,” wanting to see the rare diamond trophy.
“The pride of the metropolis, the Metropolis Bank, has also been looted by criminals, suffering huge financial losses. The Metropolis Bank statement indicates that this time the main responsibility lies in the Metropolitan Police Department’s failure to respond promptly. Now that the strike is over, the bank has also upgraded its security measures, such incidents will no longer occur, so depositors don’t need to panic or rush to withdraw their money.”
At this point, the female host showed obvious anger: “The most outrageous thing is that these robbers even used the gold in the vault to build a huge pyramid, which is blatant mockery!”
However, the male host, with an admiring tone, said, “It’s been a long time since the Metropolis has seen such robberies with such taste, quite classy!”
As the players were still expressing their admiration and envy, they noticed the music and lights appearing again!
Once more, over a hundred top-level diamond achievement trophies appeared slowly in front of Camille Victoria’s team’s players.
The name of the achievement????????? [Your Vault is Quite Large!]
Camille Victoria’s team members, who were already feeling like they had made a fortune from the competition, had been constantly converting their virtual currency into cash after the competition ended.
The group had been sending Camille Victoria endless compliments in her live streaming room, generously gifting her to express their gratitude.
Now that two consecutive top-tier diamond achievements appeared in front of them, they all had one feeling—— They hit the jackpot!
