Chapter 26: Chapter 26: This is magic, isn’t it!

Surprisingly, the more Lincoln looked at it, the more he felt it was suitable.
However, he still had one more question to ask this girl.
When Little Chun was called over by her boyfriend, she was quite puzzled.
“What’s up?”
“I still have a vacancy for a beautician here, and your boyfriend recommended you to me. I’ve seen your previous work, and it’s quite impressive, so I’d like to know about your intentions.” Lincoln went straight to the point.
Little Chun looked at them both in shock. She hadn’t imagined that she’d have the opportunity to pick up her career again.
But without hesitation, she replied to Lincoln: “I have no problem with that! In fact, I’m looking forward to joining your studio, and I’m very confident that I can do the job well!”
“I hope you realize one thing.” Instead of immediately agreeing, Lincoln seriously explained to Little Chun.
“I know about your health condition, and this is not an easy job. Though I completely believe that you have the ability and willingness, I need to inform you in advance that it will consume a lot of your time.”
“No problem, I’m free every day, I have more than enough time on my hands.” Little Chun didn’t seem bothered.
Lincoln had to be more direct: “I don’t want to say this, but your health is deteriorating, isn’t it? Haven’t you ever thought about taking advantage of your good health and traveling, seeing the world? If you choose to start a job again, this opportunity…might be lost.”
These words alone made the atmosphere heavy, Lincoln thought.
But to his surprise, the girl in front of him just laughed it off.
“We’ve been to many places and have seen plenty of beautiful sceneries.
I think the meaning of travel is to make you realize that beautiful things cannot be taken away, thereby compromising all the regrets in life.
Now, I don’t have many regrets. If I have to mention any, the only one is that I can’t accompany him for a longer time. And one day in the future, I’m destined to leave him alone.”
As she spoke, the girl’s eyes filled with tears, and Randall was already turning away, crying.
“Being with him makes me happy. And together, we create more memories and leave more traces in this world. Nothing could be better for me. The only thing that makes me sad is thinking that one day he’ll have to face the memories we left behind, heartbroken. That really hurts me.”
She placed her hand gently on her chest, her tone filled with determination that moved Lincoln: “But even so, I still want to move forward with him, as far as we possibly can.”
Lincoln couldn’t help admiring her.
“Alright then, it’s a deal!” Lincoln didn’t go on any further, “It’s an honor to work with both of you.”
He sincerely shook hands with both of them.
This kind of steadfast love made him, a single dog, want to fall in love too!
“It’s our honor, thank you!”
Just like that, Lincoln had his planner and beautician. He was very satisfied.
Having a planner come with a beautician – who knew such good things could happen! As soon as the equipment is launched, the “Assassins’ Alliance” could be started as well.
“Alright, let’s leave the work matters there for now. There’s no rush – let’s wait for the registration. You guys can have fun for now. Enjoy!” Lincoln waved his hand at them and was about to leave.
“Wait a minute.” Randall stopped him.
“What is it?”
“You’d better check the internet. It seems that both the players and the media are going crazy right now. Many people have set up tents outside your previous residence.”
“Huh?” Lincoln was quite surprised, “What’s going on? Hold on.”
He was puzzled, so he contacted Mavis and asked her to send him the related posts.
Mavis immediately sent him the filtered content – ever since moving to a new place and having excess computing power, she had been constantly scrolling through social media feeds like an internet-addicted young girl.
Lincoln checked the content Mavis sent him and found it to be of two main types.
One type was players expressing their desire to play virtual reality games in various ways.
“On the second day of not being able to play a new game, life seems pointless.” “Where’s the machine? The game? The trailer? The genre? At least give us the game’s name?! ”
“You can’t even give us a name for the pie in the sky?!”
“Don’t tell me the game’s name is ‘New Folder’!”
“@Lincoln I don’t care, I’m camping outside your house right now, at least say something! Or else I’m not leaving!”
Lincoln was startled by the netizens’ enthusiasm. Thank goodness he moved out that night, a wise decision indeed!
These reactions were normal, as they were just eager to play the game. It should be the situation Randall mentioned.
However, it was strange that another group of people discovered by Mavis was acting weird. A few media outlets were following his lead, saying that Lincoln maliciously ridiculed the media, lacked quality, and disrespected the public’s right to know.
Not many people paid attention to them for now, but seeing the emerging water army comments, it seemed someone was targeting him, and Mavis discovered it in advance.
Lincoln temporarily blocked the sound transmission around him and asked Mavis.
“Mavis, what’s going on?” Lincoln was puzzled. Did I ridicule them? How come I don’t know that?
“Master, when you posted the job recruitment, you also shared your email address. Many media outlets sent interview invitations, and some of them were on the blacklist, so Mavis rejected them.”
“How did you reject them?”
“Sorry, but you take dirty money, have a crooked butt, no standpoint, ignore the truth, and have a very low quality. You don’t deserve to call yourself a media outlet, so we won’t accept your interview, please respect yourself!” Mavis recited her reply faithfully.
…What else could Lincoln say?
“Mavis, well done!”
“Hehe!” Mavis immediately beamed with happiness upon hearing the praise.
“Let’s solve both issues at once.” Lincoln then started editing the Spiritual Rhinoceros post.
rTwo pieces of news:
First, the game’s name: “Traveler of the Wind”.
The game’s production is complete, and it’s currently undergoing final testing. The equipment is ready for mass production and will be available to everyone soon, so there’s no need to be too anxious.
Additionally, before the equipment goes on sale, I’ve prepared a little surprise for everyone. Stay tuned!
Ps. To those pitching tents outside, please go home. I don’t live there anymore.
Second, announcing a list of media outlets with bad records on the blacklist.
The following eighteen media outlets have repeatedly spread false news, misled the public’s values, and lacked basic professional ethics.
We believe they do not have the qualifications to call themselves media outlets. Therefore, they have been added to our studio’s blacklist. We will not accept any form of interview from them in the future, and will refuse their presence at any press conference hosted by us.” J
Joking around? Ridiculing me for not respecting the media?
I’ll directly revoke your media membership!
This move is called— offense is the best defense!
After solving the issue, Lincoln deactivated the sound barrier and casually said to Randall: “It’s all good, the problem is solved.”
“Solved? How did it get solved?” Randall was baffled.
All he saw was Lincoln tapping on the control panel, then suddenly it was like someone muted him, his lips moving but uttering nothing.
Although there was only a meter between the two, everything was normal on his side, while Lincoln was silenced!
Then Lincoln bowed his head back to the control panel and tapped a few more times, and—
Everything was resolved?!?
Randall had a belly full of complaints:
Is this really technology?
It’s obviously magic!
