This was Lincoln’s temporary idea.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was an excellent solution.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Moreover, this method has an even greater purpose – public maps!

Lincoln had been worrying about the grading issue of public maps and even considering, when Night City is launched for the public version, to remove all venues that might lead to grading improvement.

Although he has ways to prevent underage players from entering unsuitable places.

If you want to fully comply with the game environment, you can use security guards and guards.

If you don’t care about the inconsistency, you can even put up air walls directly.

However, game grading doesn’t care about these things.

Game grading only checks one issue: it exists, or it doesn’t.

If it does, they simply have to comply with the rating.

This is not because the grading system is rigid, but for safety’s sake.

After all, before the birth of virtual reality technology, it was tough to provide different content for different players in one game.

In the past, a PC game developer has tried to block off the 18+ images and resell them to underage players with a new rating.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

As a result, on the second day of sale, players found a loophole, patched it directly, and restored it to the original 18+ version.

In the end, the developer faced staggering fines and tightened review.

This nearly killed the developer.

Since then, basically all developers have faithfully obeyed the rating regulations.

But – Lincoln thinks now that virtual reality games have been born.

Lincoln’s technology can fully provide different graded content in one game.

Just like in the real world’s internet cafes, you can prohibit minors from entering.

Even the virtual world can be stricter than the real world!

After all, players’ names, ages and other information have been registered when they created their real-name accounts in Cloud Dream.

Age-based restrictions can be implemented strongly!

There is no risk of anyone finding vulnerabilities and breaking through.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

If any player can find a loophole in the virtual world system on their own or invade and modify it…

Lincoln would definitely invite such a talent as this would be a genius among geniuses!

In contrast, being fined is a trivial matter.

Of course, Lincoln believes that it is unlikely that such a person will appear in the next 10 years.

So now, what needs to be done is to – upgrade Daxia’s game grading system.

Lincoln is confident about this.

Daxia’s game grading system didn’t just come about overnight; it went through several upgrades and adjustments under the guidance of Daxia’s support for related industries.

Besides, each time, it was the developers who proposed the application first, and the relevant institutions completed the modification after strict investigation.

Since there are precedents, there is no reason why this request shouldn’t be accepted.

So Lincoln replied to the employees: “Yes!”

He would submit the application right away!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

As long as it is approved, not only in game development but also when expanding public maps in the future, they can be directly “spliced” onto the original public maps like a puzzle.

No need to go through a review every time a piece of the map is added.

It saves so much energy!

Lincoln has always been very keen on things that can be done once and for all.

This news made Little Chun and the others overjoyed.

Not only has the development plan become very clear and straightforward, but their previous design ideas for “Exploration” and “Combat” can also be fully expressed without any restrictions!

This is already an ideal solution.

So they cheered up and prepared to finish the game’s main body first.

“By the way, if we produce it this way, the importance of special modules is no less than the game itself,” Little Chun looked at Lincoln. “Should we change the name of the game as well?”

“Sure,” Lincoln didn’t hesitate to change the game’s main body, and he certainly didn’t care much about the name. “Do you have any suggestions?”

“Not yet. Can we discuss it some more?”

“Sure, let me know when you have any ideas.”

Since the game had just begun to be developed and encountered a route problem, there was almost no progress, so there were no other difficulties to be solved.

Watching them start working, Lincoln left.

He didn’t waste time or ask for help from Lorin, but directly submitted a “Dynamic Grading Mechanism Application” as the founder of Dream Cloud Studio to the grading review department.

According to the regulations, he will receive a response within three working days, regardless of how this application is treated.

After finishing this, Lincoln flexed his fingers and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He glanced at the time and realized he had been working for over an hour.

After thinking about it, he abandoned the idea of going to help in the “Speed Chase” world and decided to find Mavis to hang out with.

He’d sneak in some leisure time during the morning work hours!

After all, he had done two things that morning, so both emotionally and rationally, he deserved a break.

However, just as he was about to stand up, Princess Camille Victoria sent him a message, inviting him to her virtual office to discuss something.

Lincoln knew, without having to ask, that it must be about the “virtual concert” idea that she and Alex had discussed.

“Alright, alright.” Lincoln helplessly opened the teleportation gate, heading to Princess Camille Victoria’s exquisitely-decorated riverside courtyard.

“Might as well get the afternoon workload done in advance!”

There was no way he wouldn’t slack off.

Lincoln flexibly shifted his leisure time from the morning to the afternoon.

In the metropolis, the Continental Hotel.

As an Easter egg placed by Lincoln in the game, it has now become far more than just an Easter egg.

It has successfully become a place for hardcore players to socialize.

Although limited by its size, it cannot accommodate thousands of casual players at the same time for play and communication like an amusement park can.

However, there are always twenty to thirty players in each split-map in real-time.

Moreover, those who stay here for a long time are mostly core-oriented players who often have common topics and shared interests when communicating.

The efficiency of making friends is actually higher than at the amusement park.

Of course, not everyone who comes here is a hardcore player.

The Continental Hotel is also responsible for issuing “Assassination Missions” to players who come here to receive them.

There are two types of assassination missions: one is a “Daily Mission” that can be received every day.

However, these missions are nothing special.

Players just need to obtain a target, kill them and return to collect their reward.

Basically, there are a few templates that are looped repeatedly.

Over time, many players can’t even be bothered to do them.

But there is another type of mission, carefully designed by the designers themselves.

Each one has a unique background, and not only is the process more interesting, but the rewards are also more generous, sometimes even including unique commemorative items.

This type of mission is commonly referred to as an “Epic Mission” by players.

Every time they appear, the Continental Hotel instantly becomes lively, with countless players rushing in to receive the mission.

Moreover, when these missions are issued, there is a special treatment—

A front desk attendant at the Continental Hotel will ring the golden bell on the side, emitting a crisp and distant sound.

Players instantly know that a big event is happening!

When the golden bell is rung, the area where the attendant stands will also transform into a special split area with space for only one player to exist.

This is for the convenience of players to receive missions as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be rather comical for twenty to thirty people to queue up and receive the same mission from the attendant one by one.

At this moment, the golden bell rang, and all the players present immediately stood up and rushed to the front desk to receive the relatively rare “Epic Mission. ”

Not only this split-map but also on a workday morning, almost a million people at the same time went to the front desk to receive the mission from the attendant’s hands.

The little anchor “Ye Lang a bit big” also received this mission.

He came to the Continental Hotel just to receive a daily mission.

But just as he walked up to the attendant, they rang the golden bell right in front of him.

Ye Lang was quite surprised, “Is there a special mission?”

Instead of simply issuing the mission without a word like the ordinary ones, the attendant took a deep look at Ye Lang and said, “Please consider carefully. This special mission is extremely dangerous.” “How dangerous?” Ye Lang casually asked.

Who would be afraid of danger as a player?

“One misstep could result in death!” The attendant said seriously, “You’ll meet a powerful competitor!”

“Competitor?” Ye Lang was a bit confused. Was it a PVP type mission?

He curiously asked, “Who is it? How strong?”

“He is an assassin from the City of Night. With a 100% mission completion rate, he can kill three people with just a pencil! In the future, he might become the strongest assassin in the dark world of Night City!”

“John Wick!”
