Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 527: Chapter 507: Battlefield! (Two in One)_3

Looking to his left, Mavis was standing on an untimely wooden stool, holding the railing with both hands, and leaning her body out.

Lincoln instinctively raised his left hand to stop the child’s dangerous move.

But he quickly realized that Mavis was not in reality, but was only giving him extra visual feedback through the Eight Sides auxiliary headband on his head.

Despite this, he still tapped her pink head in mid-air, urging her to restrain herself a bit.

Looking left and right, down at his feet and into the distance, Lincoln suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and satisfaction, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

…

…

In contrast to the naturalness and comfort on the airship, the people on the ground have a completely different experience!

Imagine a giant flying object, more than 300 meters long and more than 50 meters wide, flying slowly at an ultra-low altitude of less than 300 meters.

The shadow it casts on the ground alone is enough to block the sunlight of several streets!

Not only the main streets, the office buildings along the way were also obscured by the huge shadow. The workers stopped their work and quickly went to the window to look up at the sky as the light suddenly dimmed.

Then they saw the gigantic object slowly flying overhead, blocking out the sky and sun.

Unbelievable, various discussions followed, and people started taking selfies and sharing them.

The pedestrians on the street all stopped in their tracks, craned their necks, and looked at the giant object above their heads.

Just looking wasn’t enough; they had to excitedly discuss with friends and even strangers beside them–

“It’s so huge! Isn’t this size too outrageous?”

“An airship! Lincoln’s airship! It was even reported on the news before!”

“I remember that! But I didn’t know the route; so it’s passing through here? It’s so much bigger than what it looked like in the camera!”

“It’s insane! It only looked slightly bigger than an airplane in the live broadcast, but now that it’s right above us, it’s not just a ‘little’ bigger!”

…

There’s no doubt that discussions were everywhere, but there was no panic at all.

Let alone that many people knew about it, even those who didn’t know didn’t panic, and just stood in place, taking out their mobile phones to search for the news.

Nobody thought that there could be any threat in the sky of Daxia Capital under the current situation.

Instead, many people felt that they hadn’t seen enough and started running on the ground following the airship.

—The speed of the airship had been reduced significantly, so it could be easily caught up with on the ground. There was no need to go too fast; even a bicycle could catch up with it, just with a bit more effort.

So naturally, many people on bicycles, electric bikes, and in cars began to follow the airship along the main street to watch the bustling scene.

Not only did the streets gather crowds, but also the roofs of the skyscrapers along the airship’s trajectory started to emerge with a lot of people, quickly becoming very crowded.

The closer they got to the city center, the more nearly 200-meter-tall skyscrapers there were. At this time, the passengers on the airship deck and the audience on the high-rise rooftops were so close that they could almost see each other’s faces.

The passengers on the deck could hear occasional exclaims from the audience below.

In the central area, numerous spectators had gathered at the top of several buildings over 250 meters tall, watching the nearly level flying airship, too excited to describe.

A large number of media reporters also gathered here, setting up long guns and short cannons, shooting at the airship in a mess.

Especially at the deck where Lincoln, Princess, and Alex were standing, they kept shooting without stopping.

They had never seen such a scene before! The huge airship, the open high-altitude deck, and the ground filled with low-rise skyscrapers… it’s simply a blockbuster with just one shot!

At the same time, they also looked forward to what would happen next!

After all, according to common sense, if it’s for publicity purposes, it’s time to throw down banners now.

Countless pairs of eyes and numerous lenses were all focused here, making it an undoubtedly attention-grabbing moment!

No matter what kind of publicity, the effect would absolutely be explosive.

Moreover, now it’s not even a question of whether Lincoln and Cloud Dream want to do publicity or not!

You’ve made such a big scene, with so many people staring straight at you, just waiting for your big news to come out.

If you don’t do anything and just leave after taking a stroll, the spectators won’t be happy!

The media would be even more infuriated!

Fortunately, Lincoln isn’t that self-absorbed and always considers others’ feelings!

But banners?

Sorry, that’s too low-end!

Lincoln snapped his fingers effortlessly with a “snap!”

Camille Victoria looked over curiously, not quite understanding the meaning of Lincoln’s gesture.

But on the other side, Mavis chuckled and clapped her small hands.

The next moment, the top of the massive 300-meter-long airship activated its prepared device, unrolling a huge, 300-meter-long, 40-meter-wide fabric downward!

People on the deck couldn’t notice it, but the citizens on the rooftops of numerous high-rise buildings around immediately did.

They couldn’t help it, compared to the narrow deck below the airship, it was the massive body of the airship that was the most eye-catching and dazzling!

And now, with the hundreds of meters long fabric rolling down, how could it not attract attention!

Photographers who were originally adjusting their focus and struggling to capture the deck were also awakened by their colleagues, switching their equipment to aim at the body of the airship.

They had to switch, as when this huge fabric was fully unfolded, the screen could be clearly photographed with a mobile phone from the ground, making long-distance shots unsuitable.

It was a huge promotional poster.

Two fully armed soldiers stood side by side within thick smoke, which reached above their knees, each with their side profile visible.

In their hands, they tightly clutched their respective guns, while staring intently into each other’s eyes, maintaining a suffocating stand-off.

The top left corner of the picture was dominated by an intense yellow explosion and sparks, and the bottom right corner showcased bright blue-gray smoke and dust just moments before the eruption.

The warm yellow tones and cold blue tones each occupied half of the screen, creating an atmosphere of grandeur for the two soldiers in the standoff and hinting at the inevitable confrontation between them.

The 300-meter-long giant sky painting was stunning in every direction once it was displayed.

Everyone started taking photos frantically, especially the knowledgeable gaming media, who were beyond excited!

There was no doubt! This was that mysterious war game!

But Lincoln and Xiaomeng’s performance wasn’t over yet—

Only after 5 seconds of the full-screen display, in the center of the two soldiers’ standoff, the smoke at their feet suddenly lit up with flames!

Not the painted kind of fire! But real flames that could be seen with the naked eye!

Many people were shocked on the spot!

Fire in the sky, 100 meters above the ground, on the airbags!

Hundreds of passengers! Daxia’s richest man, princess, and singer were all there!

If the airbags exploded, that would be major breaking news indeed!

But of course, things wouldn’t develop that way—

The flames grew in the wind, quickly spreading, but they didn’t spread uncontrollably in all directions; they followed a clear, straight path.

And the flames immediately extinguished once they passed, revealing the yellow and white fabric underneath.

In less than 10 seconds, the flames burned two large lines of text in the smoke at the bottom of the poster and quickly went out, leaving no trace.

There were hardly any scorch marks left around the letters.

Those two huge lines of text were the name of the new game—
