Chapter 1325: Chapter 1189: New Game?
No More!
Peter: “???”
“The Mars Rescue” wasn’t just the work of the emergency response team.
To achieve Lincoln’s goal of “5 games, 10 areas to explore,” the Sci-fi Game Department had also gotten involved in the project.
After completion, it would be counted as part of their task objectives.
With plenty of staff and relatively simple game scenes and plot content, the efficiency was incredibly high.
Even though some of the content involving aerospace technology was quite hardcore, Cloud Dream had aerospace engineer consultants that they collaborated with, virtually encountering no obstacles.
But now, just when the spaceship for the Mars rescue was ready and it was almost time to wrap up the project, the protagonist had been kidnapped by players?
What the heck?!
At this moment, Peter felt even more frustrated than Lincoln!
“What kind of nonsense is this?

Over 6000 mining ships searching Mars?”
“The Way Back Home, Charming Demon, Dragon Knight…
Instead of playing all those new games, or mining, or earning money, or doing anything, they just search Mars every day for a small base that might not even exist?”
“Do these people have too much free time??!!”
“Why are there so many idlers?
Huh??!!”
…
Peter vented frantically in the office group chat, putting on a live show of a “freaking out leader, going crazy online” for everyone.
Seeing Peter’s meltdown, Lincoln suddenly felt much better.
Not only did he feel a sense of inner peace, but he also thought of a question—
Could this also be considered a kind of skip?
Others skip dialogues, plot, combat, but were these captains now simply skipping the entire game?
Indeed, the core content was not yet fully implemented, and as per Cloud Dream’s usual tradition, the employees were still developing it in an independent space, planning to update it to the virtual world once the entire project was complete and released.
However, as the core of the plot, NPC Matt and his small Mars Base, had been thrown on Mars by Lincoln right from the start.
This base had even existed before [Space City].
Now that players had taken the person to the Space City, releasing the game would be very strange—
Here Cloud Dream releases a trailer, “A lone astronaut forgotten by his teammates is stranded on Mars, he must struggle to survive, contact Earth, and find a way back home…”
There, in the Space City, players parade the protagonist from the trailer through the streets, stuffing him into a space ranch to grow dozens of acres of potatoes…
The dissonance was too strong!
Lincoln already felt that this game couldn’t be made—
“Given the situation, let’s just call it quits.
The ‘Mars Rescue’ project is cancelled,” Lincoln said in the group chat.
“NO~~~~~” Peter howled, “That won’t do!”
“Then what do you suggest?” Lincoln asked.
Peter tried to salvage the situation: “Since the core content hasn’t been implemented yet, we can just change the background and switch the protagonist and planet, it can still work!”
“The vastness of space, all alone, a journey of thousands of miles, the Zen of it all!”
“Sending an astronaut to outer space to farm potatoes, the collision of the space age with the agricultural age, what an interesting and philosophical idea!”
“Having players use their own excrement as fertilizer to grow potatoes, which they then eat themselves, invincible creativity!!”
…
To save the project, Peter did not hesitate to extravagantly praise the gameplay and story of “Mars Rescue” in all aspects.
In short, his message was—
“We can’t give up!”
Lincoln was persuaded.
“Players producing their own fertilizer to grow potatoes for themselves.” This gameplay was too good to miss.
He decisively abandoned the idea of cancelling the project, “Alright then, research how to adjust it, and remember to send me a copy of the adjusted plan.”
“No problem!” Peter agreed immediately.
Lincoln put down his mobile phone, still feeling a bit stunned.
A moment later, he picked up his mobile phone and posted an update on Spiritual Rhinoceros:

[You guys have speedrun an unpublished game.]
The accompanying picture was one that Myles had shared in the group chat, showing players forcefully dragging an NPC onto a spaceship—it was originally a photo flaunted online by the players involved in the search.
As soon as this post was made, the players were initially a little confused, thinking it was a game from the [Cradle Project].
After all, the current hot topic in the player circle was still the [Cradle Project], which had no shortage of space-themed games.
But soon enough, players who had been involved in the “rescue” mission came forward to clarify the real situation.
Following this, it naturally led to questions like, “What’s the name of this new game?
ονǤᴑ.ᴄο
Is it about to be released?”
Lincoln replied, “No, this game is no more.”
Players: ???
Everyone on the spot was baffled—
“What do you mean it’s no more?”
“The game has been cancelled?”
“Don’t be so stubborn!
It’s just been discovered ahead of time and someone was taken, that’s all!
Is it worth it?!”
“Don’t mess around!!
I’m going to gather people right now to take back the base and return the NPC!”
“Heh, you think you can just take it back?
They have thousands of ships and tens of thousands of people, can you really take the people back?”
“Don’t have to buy the game now, can consider that saving money for everyone, right?”
“Who the hell needs your help to save money?
Am I short of that little bit of money?!”
…
The players erupted into a quarrel.
And in reality, many people started to band together to form groups with the intention of launching an assault on the space city to retrieve the NPC.
The Internet once again became abuzz.
…
Lincoln watched as the players descended into chaos and conflict and nodded his head in satisfaction.
But this move quickly backfired on him—
“@Lincoln, Boss, we have a problem, the Iron-Blooded Warrior and Alien spaceships have been discovered by the players!” Myles urgently called out to Lincoln again.
“?” Lincoln’s head slowly began to sprout question marks.
“What’s the situation?”
“Expedition teams of players predicted several suspicious orbits for the spaceships based on the position of Saturn’s Rings and satellites.
Then they cast a net and scanned through, discovering the spaceships!”
“…”
Lincoln’s head began to throb in phantom pain.
“Are these people sick or something?!
Flying aimlessly in the vast universe for over half a month, don’t they find it boring?!!”
He couldn’t understand for the life of him how these people had such patience.
It’s understandable if one or two people can endure loneliness, but “searching with a net in space” clearly sounds like something only a large group could do—could so many people really endure dozens of hours of tedious flying?
Why not do something valuable with that patience, such as working in a factory, screwing in screws, or something?
“Then what?
What did they do next?
Steal the spaceships?”
“No, they wanted to capture the Iron-Blooded Warriors and Aliens to take them back to the space city to sell tickets.
But the Iron-Blooded Warriors and Aliens were too good in combat, and since they wanted to capture them alive, it resulted in heavy losses for them.
They’ve already lost hundreds of people.”
“???” Lincoln was stunned for a moment, “Are they planning to open a zoo or what?”
“Wait, you said right now?
Is this still happening?”
“Yeah, they are live streaming it.” Myles affirmed.
After speaking, he also sent the link to the live broadcast room to Lincoln…
