Chapter 1223: Chapter 1110: A Gameplay of Both Hard Working and Spending a Lot of Money_1 Chapter 1223: Chapter 1110: A Gameplay of Both Hard Working and Spending a Lot of Money_1 “Boss, does your face not hurt anymore?”
Lincoln’s eyes twitched, barely resisting the urge to skewer him with a sword.
Taking a deep breath to compose himself, he removed the cracked shell of his VR glasses, which were nearly smashed to scrap by a brick, and pressed down on his bleeding forehead.
With a wipe, the wound and blood disappeared.
He then pressed on his left leg, which had been injured when the signboard fell.
The blood, dirt, and intense pain quickly vanished.
Only then did Lincoln breathe out a sigh of relief and finally straighten his posture.
He ignored the guy who had peppered his eyes right in front of him and waved his hand instead, causing the dead employees to revive and appear in front of him.
Fred remained silent in the crowd.
On the contrary, it was the brother who couldn’t help but ask first, having had his defenses breached at a critical moment.
His limbs and nervous system were invaded, his body lost control for a full 5 seconds, and managed to complete a [backstab] + [suicide] combo in just 3 seconds:
“Boss, you sure you weren’t cheating?”
“I get the hacker playstyle, but isn’t it a bit much that you broke through my firewall in the void without using any tools?”
Lincoln shook his head, turned around, and dragged out a base station the size of a bedside cabinet from the cinema entrance, slapping it a few times.

“Right here.”
The brother’s eyes widened.
“Boss, how much stuff did you hide in this cinema?
I counted about twenty drones flying out, right?”
Randall couldn’t resist either: “Boss, Isn’t your design for this enhancement route a bit too overpowered?”
“Area damage, precise targeting, super-range attacks, and invincible defense…”
“It’s a bit too strong.”
“Exactly.” Fred’s voice echoed from the crowd.
However, Lincoln simply shook his head.
He didn’t rush to explain, instead, he patted Randall’s chest.
The controller in his hand transformed into a stream of data light, flowing like water into Randall’s hands and reformed back into a solid object.
A brand-new pair of VR glasses appeared in front of Randall.
“Give it a try.
Activate 10 drones at the same time.”
Randall blinked and found a new UI interface appearing in front of him.
Under the [Armory] menu, there were options for the flying sword, shuttle machine, drone, electromagnetic shield, signal base station, and more.
He focused on the drone, and the sub-options automatically expanded, detailing the drone’s model, quantity, position, etc.
But the first thing he noticed was something outrageous:
The stock quantity of the drones was actually 180!
Lincoln had crammed a staggering 200 drones into this inconspicuous cinema!
Is he going to war or something?!
Activating the drones was easy.
But the moment they were activated, because he hadn’t chosen an array, the screen in front of him instantly split into 10 windows!
Randall’s eyes blurred for a moment before he tried to lift ten fingers for control—
The ten drones took off at the same time, but due to the varying degrees and strengths of his ten fingers, the flying speed and angle of the ten drones also differed.
As a result, they hadn’t even found an exit before they crashed into each other, resulting in a tragic explosion.
Randall took a deep breath, calmed down, and restarted a batch of drones, chose the simplest linear array, and yanked them out of the window.
Next, he tried to control ten drones at the same time, like Lincoln, advancing in the air while performing small-range maneuvers and firing.
But this operation was outrageously difficult!
He quickly found that he could only operate at most three drones at the same time, the rest rely on inertia to fly.
The more he wanted to master the overall situation, the more chaotic and uncontrollable the drones flew.
Looking at the drones that spasmodically flew under Randall’s control, occasionally losing power and falling — and indeed, three drones actually crashed.
The employees were left a little bewildered.
Were these the same drones that launched a barrage of attacks and suppressed them just a moment ago?
And this weapon was actually the slowest one used by Lincoln.
“Try the flying sword?” suggested Lincoln.
Randall switched weapons.
In a moment of distraction, the seven drones in the air lost control and didn’t receive a cruising or self-flying order.
They all dove down and crashed onto the ground with a clatter.
Meanwhile, the moment the flying sword’s propulsion was activated, it let out a shrill whistling sound and shot out instantly.
As Randall’s vision followed the flying sword, the terrifying speed made him lurch backward, almost losing his balance.
With his lurch, the flying sword also curved along, plunging headfirst into the concrete wall, burying half of the sword’s body in it.
Randall tried to pull it out, but something embarrassing happened:
The half of the Flying Sword that was exposed opened up six power nozzles, spewing out fire with a whining sound.
But without the main power to assist, no matter how hard he strained, he couldn’t pull it out.
The main power was actually pushing it in…
The Flying Sword — that in Lincoln’s hand has been utterly unbeatable and had slaughtered all around —
Ended up embarrassingly rendered useless in such a childish way!
—When Lincoln shot through three layers of concrete before, he had to open the accelerator and overload it daringly to make it happen.
Randall didn’t prepare at all, so of course he ended up unable to pull it out from the concrete, right?
After struggling for a while, Randall found his efforts were futile and had to awkwardly stop.
He took off his VR Glasses.
Lincoln didn’t gloat over his misfortune, but started to explain the question he had previously posed:
“You all were thinking too simply before.”
He lifted his hands, generating ten more Controllers in the shape of rings, demonstrating them to the employees.
“See?
These ten controllers, each controller can control one unit at a time.
The theoretical limit is to control ten units at a time, and only with the assistance of formations and arrays, this limit can be temporarily exceeded.”
“This seems incredibly strong indeed, but how long do you think it takes players to be able to skillfully control it?”
As the words landed, the entire room fell silent.
The employees who were just laughing at Randall’s incredible operation fell into deep thought.
It’s not everyone who can multitask.
And multitasking ten tasks at a time…
Just thinking about it is inconceivable!
“Moreover, each nozzle of the Flying Sword can be individually controlled.
But if you want to control flight posture accurately, you need to control even more nozzles!
That’s why, at the start, I just controlled it to fly in a straight line.”
“The flying array can be considered a high-level skill, which can reduce the control demand to some degree, or can be used to free up attention to switch control units.”
“You can also calculate how many shuttle machines and drones I’ve lost.”
“The maintenance of Flying Sword and the energy of the electromagnetic shield will also be very expensive.”
Originally, Lincoln was just explaining the advantages and limitations of this gameplay, but as he went on, he transitioned to explaining design ideas and optimization routes—
“Unlike [Strength] and [Agility], this is an enhancement route specializing in [Intelligence], focusing on the use of various technological weapons.”
“The core resource of this profession is [Control Core].
Acquiring more Control Cores, enhancing the computing power of Control Cores, researching Core distribution, setting auto-operation commands for Control Cores, optimizing Control Core group control schemes…
”
“And most importantly: improving one’s own control capabilities and crafting the most suitable combat plans.”
…
As the employees listened to Lincoln’s explanation, the more they listened, the more their heads itched, and their mouths unconsciously opened wider and wider.
Not surprisingly, the requirements of this playstyle for players are simply too high!
With [Body Modification] and [Genetic Enhancement], as long as players are done with the modification or injection, they don’t need to think too much afterwards, they can just mindlessly fight.
However, with the route the boss presented, even after obtaining the [Control Core], large amounts of time still need to be spent researching and practicing how to use it.
Even if the development team gives out some general designs, they would not be sufficient.
Since “general” means balanced and easy to be targeted.
Not to mention disorientation from the perspective and being distracted while multitasking under micro-control…
To play like Lincoln, the difficulty is sky-high!
Without a doubt, this involves hard labor and spending a lot!
The playstyle most players may choose might still be to focus on controlling a Flying Sword and killing indiscriminately, or using drone formations for long-distance, mindless bombing.
They’ll probably keep the electromagnetic shield on all the time, instead of turning it on “only at critical moments” to save energy, as Lincoln suggested.
But if one really could patiently spend a large amount of time and energy researching and practicing, this indeed would be a playstyle with a higher ceiling.

Also, its tactically diverse system is much more flexible than Body Modification and Genetic Enhancement.
Randall admitted defeat.
Yet, Fred wasn’t quite convinced: “Boss, dare to play another round?”
He believed that his loss was due to his complete ignorance of Lincoln’s new system.
He lost because he lacked intel.
If he could have another go, after proper preparation, he would undoubtedly win!
“You lost the bet fairly, you should just go pick out your cross-dressing outfit!”
Lincoln decisively rejected this suggestion.
Because he shared the same thought as Fred: if they had another go, he would most likely lose.
Unless he straightaway cheated, upgrading [Flying Sword] to [Flying Ship]!
