Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1071: The True Daughter of Destiny!_1 Chapter 1177: Chapter 1071: The True Daughter of Destiny!_1 “???”

Looking at Shuihua, Lincoln was left in a daze.

“???”

The Little Princess was also surprised when she heard the system notification, while she was observing Shuihua’s mature neural bundles.

“???”

The members of the Flag of Salvation, who were busy putting out fires, planting trees, and playing various local animal games, all stopped what they were doing.

“???”

Players from all over the world, regardless of their location, who were focused on looking for and challenging “Lincoln’s Eight Challenges”, were shocked and confused.

“???”

Lincoln, who was studying artificial protein synthesis in the lab, was also bewildered when he heard the news from Mavis.

— because in his design, the [Ultimate Challenge] should have been the last completed challenge!

It required players to gain absurdly high favorability from Eva, which is the will of Nature in Pandora.

And every time an [Ultimate Challenge] was completed, it would drastically increase the player’s favorability.

This was subtly hinted at in the achievement and status bars, and the hints were quite obvious.

Thus, the bond between the player and Pandora’s nature would naturally become unprecedentedly tight after numerous challenges to physiological and technical extremes, and completing a series of unbelievable challenges.

Afterward, they would need to find the hidden [Soul Mother Tree], led by Eva, and let the player’s consciousness enter the river of Pandora’s neural network, and blend with all the neural consciousness preserved in the world, past and present, to complete the final challenge, [Ultimate Trust].

But now, there is only one person in the whole world who has completed a single challenge, so how can [Ultimate Trust]be achieved?

?

?

What happened to all the content and steps that I designed before?

You skipped straight over it??

What’s going on?

?

?

Lincoln was confused and looked at Mavis.

Mavis completely understood Lincoln’s feelings and immediately opened a live broadcast window for him.

In the screen, Shuihua also had her mouth open, completely stunned.

After a while, she found her voice again, slowly making a sound:

“Huh?”

She was stunned!

She looked at her own external neural bundles growing longer and longer, until they were finally as long as her hair tips.

She was eagerly planning to return to her original mirror image and communicate with her tamed Yikaran Flying Dragon.

She had been fighting in over fifty mirror images today and had been planting trees with everyone after the war, so she’s no longer in her original mirror image.

But before she could put her plan into action, another light beam descended from the sky, and the sky rankings slowly unfolded.

She was unexpectedly…

on top?!

And the [King of the Ocean] Xu Shenghan also completed one challenge and (1/3) of the [Burst of Strength], so why is her ranking higher than his?

ƝονǤο.ƈօ

Shuihua was very confused.

Even more confused was Super Tomato: “[Ultimate Trust]?

How exactly is this challenge completed?

It’s not as if Lincoln predicted while designing Pandora that someone would try to destroy the world, right?”

Super Tomato’s confusion was the confusion of all the members of the [Flag of Salvation] and all the bystander players present.

Everyone was utterly baffled.

The bigger issue was: this couldn’t be mimicked!

Whether it was [Burst of Strength] or [Creatures of Water], everyone obtained clues after the challenges were completed, so they knew how to proceed with the challenges and aimed to win the remaining pure gold trophies.

But Shuihua’s…

It wasn’t hard to understand what she had done since the [Flag of Salvation] had launched a grandiose campaign for the entire day.

Even those who hadn’t paid attention before could learn what Shuihua had done with a quick search, let alone the [Flag of Salvation] players who had participated firsthand.

But the problem was, her actions were utterly impossible to replicate!

Everyone remained puzzled, including Shuihua herself.

Only Lincoln got the gist of it:

It was because he had given too much freedom and authority to [Pandora’s Intelligent Management Algorithm] and [Eva’s Shallow Personality AI].

As a result, Shuihua’s contribution to Pandora was so extravagant that it directly broke through both Eva’s favorability and trust value systems, reaching a higher level than completing the eight final challenges and entering the planet’s neural network!

Eva liked her so much that she directly considered her own daughter.

– Even a neural network was equipped for her for smooth communication!

At the same time, Lincoln had never considered the idea of maxing out the affection levels for the two core entities of Pandora’s World simultaneously.

To put it bluntly: from now on, Shuihua is truly the “Daughter of Destiny” in Pandora’s World!

It would be difficult for her to die, even if she wanted to.

Even if she jumped off the Tree of Life, a Phantom Dragon would swoop in to catch her!

No Phantom Dragons around?

Then a layer of large-leafed plants on the ground would cushion her fall, allowing her to land gently.

No such plants around?

Impossible!

One must sprout up even if there weren’t any before!

“This is ridiculous.”

Wordlessly, Lincoln closed the live streaming panel and prepared to present Shuihua with her golden trophy.

And, quite possibly, more than one.

While being the “Daughter of Destiny” doesn’t mean she can clear all Ultimate Challenges, it can be considered a cheat for the remaining two hunting tasks in [Burst of Strength] and [Wind Surge]’s challenge of “Becoming a Phantom Rider, Timed Cross through Floating Mountains”.

It can be expected that these will be accomplished, the only question is: when will they be completed?

…

Shuihua’s off-line time was inevitably delayed once again.

Everyone was having a grand time, congratulating Shuihua, looking at her achievement trophy, analyzing how she managed to accomplish the challenges.

Shuihua was very responsive to all the questions, although there were many things she herself didn’t quite understand.

——She was about to become a sudden millionaire, everything was a blur to her!

Moreover, the completion of [Ultimate Trust] once again intensely motivated the adventurers in Pandora, reminding them that yet another pure gold trophy worth millions is about to be claimed, and they have to hurry up.

The global Internet was buzzing and by tomorrow Shuihua would be headlining global news, just like Shawn did before.

The story of overnight wealth has always been a crowd favorite.

In fact, this news is already sending shockwaves through the global gaming community.

Only few players, so engrossed in their game they can’t spare even a glance elsewhere, haven’t noticed this big piece of news.

Ivan Ivanov is one of those players.

Currently, he is engrossed in an exhilarating “hunt”.

*

Ivan completed his first clear of “Gravity” this afternoon.

Without exception, he was also utterly astounded by the space elevator that reached into the sky and the alien spaceships as he fell through the atmosphere.

But after he landed, he was quickly reminded of something—

“Could these alien spaceships have been summoned when I randomly pressed the spaceship controller after I killed the Iron-Blooded Warrior?”

After all, he was the first player in the world to defeat the Iron-Blooded Warrior and complete the [Cross-border Pursuit] quest line.

He still remembers the thrilling battle in the torrential rain.

The [No.

001 Commemorative Medal] is still worn by him.

Therefore, when he saw those alien spaceships, Ivan immediately thought of the moment when he was looting and tried pressing the spaceship controller a few times which led to distant spaceships shooting lasers into the starry sky, one after another.

Thinking of this, as soon as he finished viewing the credits of “Gravity”, he couldn’t wait to log into the “Hunter: Call of the Wilderness”, appearing at the teleportation point nearest to the spaceship.

He then slammed the throttle of the All-Terrain Vehicle and went full speed towards the spaceship.

And then, he died.

He didn’t even have a chance to react.

One moment he was speeding away in the Bouncing Car, the next moment he just disappeared!

And it wasn’t a near-death state, there wasn’t even a disembodied consciousness stage either.

In an instant, the world turned black.

Upon resurrection, a large question mark appeared over Ivan’s head.

But soon, the question mark turned into an exclamation mark!

“There’s a new powerful prey in my hunting ground!!”

Ivan——

Was fired up!
