Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 459: 442: Welcome to Jurassic Park

Lincoln excitedly tried them on – since only the basic brain control system was installed without any additional functionalities, safety had already been verified.

After Henry and the researchers explained the problems, Lincoln said, “I have some ideas, but I need to think about it,” and dismissed them.

He then tossed the exoskeletons aside and continued working on building an airplane by hand.

Why did Lincoln get bored so quickly?

When he only had a small workspace, he had already built a gun by hand in his home.

Now with a spacious, soundproof, and private air defense lab, as well as brain control components and various prosthesis manufacturing equipment, so you guessed –

Wouldn’t he secretly build an upgrade like a brain-controlled exoskeleton just for fun?

This is the reason he believed he could finish the job in just two days: he had already done something similar, and the relevant technology was almost mastered.

Completely effortless.

Henry would even come across a “Live Die Repeat” style exoskeleton if he went to the back of the laboratory and opened a storage cabinet.

But unfortunately, the cabinet has a password, and Mavis is keeping an eye on it, so no one can open it.

As Lincoln was focusing on building his airplane, many things were happening around him.

Many people started to try introducing Cloud Dream and virtual reality games to their parents, whether to enhance communication and understanding with their parents or simply to entertain the elderly.

There are also no shortage of players who consult their parents to learn how to play poker and mahjong.

The background can clearly see that many users over the age of 45 are constantly registering and becoming new users of Cloud Dream.

However, Mirage consoles are currently unavailable in the market, and only a small number of new users can enter the virtual world – due to Alex’s situation.

Most users can only exist as “potential users” for now.

But by this coming Saturday, there will be a surge in console orders for sure.

Even some users have already ordered “Speed Chase” without having a console yet!

On the other hand, even virtual poker and mahjong games with prize money in the millions couldn’t attract some players who just weren’t interested in board and card games.

Most of these players continue to fight and explore on Dinosaur Island.

On the Vortex Forum, “Dinosaur Island” has been separated from the “Paradise” section and has its own board.

Netizens are now compiling information and drawing maps of the island.

The virtual island on the “Dinosaur Island Conqueror” achievement trophy can’t be used as a map nor reveals hidden creatures and buildings.

Players’ self-drawn maps naturally focus on marking these details, such as the names and living areas of different dinosaurs, supply points, and so on!

Some of these supply points are purely for resting, while others offer vehicles and weapons.

However, these weapons are all non-lethal weapons, such as capture nets, tranquilizer guns, rubber bullets, electric shock bullets, and shock bombs.

There is also a very special multifunctional weapon – “Dinosaur Treasure.”

It looks very sci-fi and has ridiculously versatile functionalities.

Though it looks like a pistol, it is huge and can barely be held with one hand—it could even be called a hand cannon.

There’s a small touchscreen display on the handle that shows the current weapon status and ammo count.

Players can adjust the type of bullets fired as needed, and all non-lethal weapons can be fired, even shock bomb effect bullets.

However, you have to find the bullets yourself.

So far, all the bullets have come from supply points with weapon equipment, and their numbers are quite limited.

On the other hand, this gun also has a constraint: once outside Dinosaur Island, the gun’s display goes dark, and it cannot be lit or activated.

This limits the gun to be used only on Dinosaur Island.

Also, players found that some people have serial numbers on their gun barrels, while others don’t.

At first, everyone thought that the serial numbers represented the order in which the players received the weapon.

But later, it turned out that players who logged off last night and got the gun again when they logged back on still had serial numbers.

As more players experienced this, they analyzed and realized that the serial numbers actually represented the order in which players arrived at Dinosaur Island.

Players who arrived late were extremely envious of this.

But this isn’t even the most absurd part.

The most absurd part is that using this gun, the most difficult part isn’t the bullets, but the voice!

Because its power is directly influenced by the volume of the player’s shouts!

Players who yell when firing can increase the power of the bullets!

Better anesthesia effects, larger and tougher capture nets, more intense flash effects, as well as longer range and faster firing rates…

Moreover, the specific enhancement effect is directly related to the volume of the player’s shouts!

Other sounds such as horns, explosions, and item noises don’t work, only the sounds shouted by the players themselves.

This has led to players screaming at the top of their lungs all day long on Dinosaur Island, with many players experiencing throat tearing!

These players can generally be divided into two schools:

One is the pure “Ahhhh” school.

Technically, there’s no problem, it just lacks emotion.

The other is to yell lines with distinct characteristics while shooting, such as “Fire!”, “Die!”, and “Eat my treasure sword!”

Their emotions are extremely abundant.

Streamers have titles like “Turn down the volume before entering,” “Volume warning,” and “Do not play aloud” on their live broadcasts, giving a heads up to the audience.

Only Yi has a unique title – “ASMR, special sleep aid program! Turn up the volume and enjoy!”

Successfully tricked quite a few people.

He was among the earliest players to discover the special usage of this gun: the gun not only recognizes the player’s own voice but also the voices of their teammates.

It’s not even entirely determined by decibels. Several people put their heads close to the gun barrel and shouted together, “Ahhhhh!” This could increase power!

By using this tactic, they significantly enhanced the range of their capture nets and managed to shoot down two Pterosaurs from the sky.

One died on the spot, while the other was only slightly injured.

Yi did not hesitate to lock himself up with the surviving Pterosaur and started trying to tame it with reins.

There are quite a few players who tried to train dinosaurs, but most of them start with small ones. There are very few like Yi, who directly went for flying mounts.

Just the “capture” step was enough to deter most people.

However, his progress is quite slow.

Or to be more specific: No progress at all!

There are also tough guys like Hu, who have no interest in this completely non-lethal gun, preferring to wrestle dinosaurs with a full-metal gun.

This wave of Dinosaur Island craze, with the wisdom of numerous players, greatly opened Hu’s thinking, and also led to a significant upgrade of his weapons.

In a day’s time, he had died more than thirty times, but his mini Dinosaur Island now has seventeen different species and forty-three small dinosaurs.

Even [Ancestors’ Glory] had illuminated another [Behemoth Slayer·Mamenchisaurus].

This is a huge herbivorous dinosaur with a length of more than twenty-two meters. It looks very terrible when viewed from below, almost as tall as a seven-story building.

But strictly speaking, it is not difficult to fight against.

After exploiting a surprise attack, they encountered almost no threat, and the Mamenchisaurus began to turn around and flee, raising huge clouds of smoke and dust.

Hu and his teammates started chasing with their motorbikes.

This chase lasted for more than half an hour.

Finally, after running far away, the huge dinosaur was exhausted from bleeding and fell to the ground with a loud crash, causing a large amount of smoke and dust.

Hu and his teammates ignored the smoke and dust, quickly went up to check their battle results.

“This guy can really run!”

“No kidding! How much blood did it shed on the way?”

“Ten minutes ago I saw it was shaky and almost unable to go on. Who would have thought it could shake for miles like that!”

The teammates couldn’t help but complain.

Fighting for one minute, chasing for half an hour, it would be strange not to complain.

As the smoke and dust gradually settled, Hu could finally take a closer look at his target: the long neck, which accounted for half of its body length, the small head with densely packed spoon-like teeth…

Suddenly, a teammate patted his arm.

“What’s the matter?” Hu stood upright and asked oddly.

The teammate still didn’t say a word, just pointed at something behind him.

“?” Hu turned around curiously and saw a wide-open giant door, large enough for eight cars to drive through at the same time, and luxurious buildings inside the door.

Above the door, there were five big characters –

[Jurassic Park]

At the same time as seeing the five big characters, the system prompt sounded in his ear.

“You have arrived at [Jurassic Park].”

“Personal login space [Dinosaur Island] option has been officially renamed to [Jurassic Park].”

“[Jurassic Park], welcome your arrival.”
