Translator: 549690339

When does a person have the most burning sense of expectation and

responsibility towards society and humanity? Without a doubt, it’s during middle school.

Why is Camille Victoria so excited?

Because she is 17 years old this year, right in the midst of that time. Although she was admitted to university early, her unique upbringing protected her mental world.

Once in university, most people’s fervent hearts cool down, and upon entering society, they become numb and disillusioned even faster.

Only a very few, with extraordinary talent and skill, or simply through pure luck, can preserve that fire within their hearts.

Through Lincoln’s words, his classmates clearly sensed the fire in his heart.

But they didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

Had anyone else said this, they would probably be ridiculed for overestimating their abilities and not having experienced enough hardship in society.

But the one speaking now is Lincoln.

A person who developed virtual reality technology in his own bedroom, and even had their equipment and instruments purchased by others in the group chat.

A self-made entrepreneur who mass-produced his prototype in a week, launched it in the market by sprinting, and tripled his production capacity in another week. And each time, the products were instantly sold out, and the sales ceiling was nowhere in sight.

They had to rely on Lincoln’s connections to buy it.

A producer who created a new game in a week, received perfect scores from the media, and achieved a 9.8 rating from satisfied players.

The second game released an inexplicable loom trailer, directly overpowering the industry giants and topping the annual most anticipated game rankings!

Legendary Father of Flames Quentin willingly joined, content to be a foot soldier.

Such a person, who wants to share the benefits of technological advancement fairly with everyone, so that society from top to bottom can enjoy the same joy, equality among all beings, without hierarchy.

Does he have the qualifications?

He sure does!

So, at this moment, the power of Lincoln’s calm and composed words is naturally convincing.

Sitting next to him, Princess Camille Victoria couldn’t help but gently applaud him, while monitor Xu Qiuyun openly clapped for him without hesitation.

With someone leading the way, the rest of the classmates followed suit with clapping, even the driver couldn’t help but look back several times through the rearview mirror.

However, Lincoln felt quite awkward.

It’s not like they were watching a performance. They were just chatting, and having a group of peers suddenly applaud you is too awkward and unbearable!

He quickly interrupted: “Alright, alright, don’t start a ruckus. It’s too embarrassing, if you keep clapping I’ll have to perform and sing.”

“How can this be called a ruckus?” monitor Xu argued: “This is admiration for you! It’s not easy to suddenly become rich and not lose yourself.”

“Mm-hmm.” Princess Camille Victoria nodded vigorously.

“But be sure to do things within your limits. Don’t lose sight of your grand ideals and cause trouble for your company,” monitor Xu reminded Lincoln. “Don’t worry.” Lincoln nodded his thanks. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

“I was thinking of patronizing your business in the future, but now I’m too embarrassed to go,” the boy who had asked the question laughed and said shyly.

“Don’t worry! It’s just a business after all, not a charity. As an entertainment venue, you can just treat it as an ordinary place. If you want to go, go, if it’s too much trouble, don’t. You don’t need to consider my issues,” Lincoln clarified hurriedly, not wanting to be labeled as an altruist.

“Besides, the next batch of Mirage is about to be released, so it’s not like you have to go to the store to buy it.”

Thinking for a moment, he added, “Of course, if some classmates are not interested in the game but are curious about virtual reality technology, there’s no need to waste money buying equipment. Just let me know, and I can arrange for a few devices to be available at the store for them to try.”

This was Lincoln patching things up.

Previously in the group chat, he had offered convenience to those who wanted to buy Mirage but had forgotten that not all classmates came from wealthy backgrounds and some of them couldn’t afford it.

So he thought of providing these students with arrangements at the Cloud Dream Experience Store, and the reason they used for it was not that they couldn’t afford it but “not interested in the game but curious about the technology” , which took into account everyone’s feelings as much as possible.

He believed that the class monitor would pass the message on to those in need. Under Xu Qiuyun’s enthusiastic and straightforward appearance, there was a delicate and gentle heart, which was why everyone followed her lead.

When the classmates talked about the upcoming release of the next batch of Mirages, the atmosphere in the bus became lively again.

Some students even approached Lincoln, hoping that he would reveal some inside information about “Assassins’ Alliance”, but he just skated past their questions with a laugh.

After dealing with several curious students, the area around them finally quietened down again.

Camille Victoria finally found the chance to clench her fists and say to Lincoln,

“Lincoln, you’re really doing something amazing! Keep it up!”

Lincoln looked at the seventeen-year-old girl who was earnestly and forcefully expressing her acknowledgment and support to him, amused, and couldn’t help but pat her on the head saying, “Alright, I get it, thank you.”

Princess Camille felt her face heat up again, but this time she didn’t turn away to hide.

With shyness, she stared straight into Lincoln’s eyes and reaffirmed, “I’m serious, you are really amazing, and I admire you a lot!”

Seeing Lincoln nodding with a smile, she finally turned her blushing face away and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.

Lincoln looked at the absent-minded Little Princess; the more he watched, the more he was amused, and eventually couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Camille Victoria sneaked a glance at Lincoln’s uninhibited laughter, picked up her hat in annoyance and covered half of her face with it.

Hum! I’m ignoring you for the rest of the trip!

The rest of the journey passed quickly, and they soon arrived at Century Park.

Collect tickets, distribute, enter the park, and start playing.

In order to cover for Camille Victoria, the classmates didn’t spread out too much. Plus, Princess Camille wore a hat and mask, so she wasn’t recognized by others.

Princess Camille Victoria finally realized her theme park dream, didn’t find waiting in line boring and enthusiastically queuing for every ride.

Lincoln, with the purpose of gathering material, also followed her from ride to ride.

Even with the strange looks from male and female classmates, he stood in line with Camille Victoria for the carousel, sitting together on the colorful horses as they went round and round.

Pirate ships, bumper cars, gigantic pendulum, roller coaster, water rapids ride — Princess Camille didn’t miss a single one, and even begged Lincoln to sit next to her on each of them with a pleading face.

What Lincoln admired even more was that this girl really had her manners and comportment engraved in her bones.

When they got off the roller coaster, Lincoln clearly saw her calf muscles trembling from obvious fear. In the end, he had to extend his arm to help her down from the seat.

But within two minutes, she recovered and enthusiastically moved on to the next thrilling ride.

In the end, Lincoln, who couldn’t take it anymore, grabbed her and suggested taking a break by going boating on a lake.

Princess Camille didn’t have a particular preference for thrilling rides; she was passionate about all amusement facilities, so she happily agreed to Lincoln’s suggestion.

Having played so many rides without being recognized by other tourists, the classmates mainly let their guard down by now, and most of them had scattered to the periphery to play.

Lincoln simply greeted the class monitor and then took Camille Victoria to choose a small double boat by the shore. With the help of the security staff, they put on life jackets and got into the boat.

The small boat slowly drifted into the lake..
