Chapter 411: 395: Liquor Gourd to Recover Health?

Then he put on the headband and was once again pulled by Mavis into the Huayin Bubble Bath pool.

However, this time, Mavis didn’t immediately come over to greet Lincoln as usual, but was fully focused on watching the live stream.

Lincoln looked up at the screen and saw that it was the female anchor [Nandong] from Izumo.

The girl was live streaming in Night City, just getting out of the car in front of her killer friend Marcus’ house, holding a gun in one hand and carefully knocking on Marcus’ door with the other.

As soon as she gently knocked on the door, she found that it was unlocked and saw the light inside through the crack in the door.

“Ah, this…” Lincoln instantly understood why Mavis was so concerned about the live stream.

From the girl’s performance, it was obvious that she had just received a phone call from the villain Vigo in an attempt to save her killer friend.

But she was too late.

As soon as she walked into the house, Nandong quickly saw the blood on the floor, followed the blood trail to the staircase, and then saw Marcus lying face-up on the stairs, lifeless.

The girl’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at her friend who had become a corpse, her expression completely unwilling to accept the reality.

Just like Little Milkshake, in the plot, the corpse will not disappear immediately when the plot requires it.

And here, it was obviously meant for the players to witness the tragic death of their friend…

Nandong was stunned for a moment before she couldn’t help but cry out loud.

And the more she cried, the more she couldn’t help it, her voice getting louder and louder until she covered her face with both hands, weeping and sobbing, constantly accusing:

“Uncle, how could you just die like that!”

“We were just chatting together!”

“You were my only friend!”

“You were a friend since the very beginning…”

It was clear that the mature and handsome Uncle Marcus made a deep impression on Nandong when he first appeared at Helen’s funeral at the beginning of the game.

Then he helped Nandong subdue the female killer Perkins and heroically saved her from Vigo’s henchmen.

After successfully counterattacking and defeating the enemy, they also celebrated together by the riverside, strong, handsome, and elegant.

But who would have thought that in an instant, Uncle Marcus would be killed so violently.

And his death was so horrible…

“That’s too much!”

“How could they?!”

“I can’t accept it!”

In the video, as Nandong cried and accused, the comments in the live broadcast room were divided into two groups, with some comforting the anchor, but more people were gloating with “hahaha.”

Outside the screen, Mavis also laughed mischievously.

“No way! I can’t accept this!”

Nandong didn’t care that the main plot was close to the end, just one more battle to be completed, and resolutely decided to delete her saved progress and start over.

“I must keep Uncle alive!”

Lincoln was amazed.

Was she planning to play “Speed Chase” as a romance game?

The fans in the live broadcast room also suddenly felt that something was off, as they were supposed to be watching the girl cry but instead, they were getting a taste of dog food?

And deleting the save at the last step?

OCD viewers expressed: This behavior is heinous! Absolutely unacceptable!

The barrage of wails in an attempt to persuade Nandong to change her mind:

“Don’t do it! Hurry up and undo it, you can still restore your save file within half an hour!”

“Finish the main storyline first! Once it’s done, play the second round using the experience mode. At that time, play a perfect second round and then replace the first round, be rational!”

“Women on top, they are really terrifying.”

In order to keep Nandong’s save file intact and get her to focus on fighting the enemy instead of thinking about men, the live-streamer community was also trying their hardest.

Various paid gifts were thrown fiercely. Fortunately, in the last ten minutes, Nan Dong managed to retrieve the deleted save file.

Then there was the phone call from the Continental Hotel. As a compensation for Platinum attacking players in the hotel, Winston gave out Vigo’s location information.

Nan Dong immediately chased after it, wanting to avenge Marcus.

After the excitement, Mavis closed the live broadcast room and approached Lincoln to offer him a glass of champagne.

Throughout the afternoon, while Lincoln practiced his sword skills in the virtual world, Mavis had appeared several times with a big bottle of champagne.

Not wanting to disappoint Mavis, Lincoln took a break from training and joined her in a champagne battle to celebrate the launch of Cloud Dream’s Yangcheng City Supercomputing Center, Mavis’ third property.

However, they hadn’t had time to properly drink a glass.

Now with more time, Lincoln naturally took a sip of the champagne.

The champagne had a refreshing fruity aroma and a pleasant taste, which he loved.

For the sensory database, Lincoln once tried six different types of alcohol every day for two weeks.

Though he only took a sip of each and most of them weren’t to his liking, the database didn’t have a rich collection of alcoholic beverages.

Luckily, he had enlisted the help of professionals to choose the most classic wines, from the cheapest street wines to the most expensive collectible wines produced by various wineries, covering almost all price points.

Satisfying the basic requirements for game development was definitely possible.

Unless Cloud Dream decided to create a bartender-type game, Lincoln didn’t plan on adding more data in this category.

Of course, it needs to be more precise here.

He wouldn’t collect more data on modern wines.

In fact, just a few days ago, he had hired some experts to find people who could brew ancient wine, preferably with ready-made vintages.

The data for ancient wines needed a massive update.

However, Lincoln was unsure whether this data would be useful or not.

After all, even if a game has an ancient theme, it’s still a game, and the player’s experience is more important than the authenticity of the game.

Especially in the “Virtual Chang’an” project, which is based on the Tang Dynasty.

If you want to delve deeper, most wines during the Tang Dynasty were fermented with an alcohol content of 1 to 5 degrees.

Only after multiple filtrations, the alcohol content of refined wines or sake would reach around 5 degrees. If it’s unrefined wine, it would only be around 1 degree.

Li Taibai’s hundred “wine battle” poems sound fierce.

However, the alcohol content of a “wine battle” back then might only be equivalent to a few bottles of beer nowadays…

It’s not actually that impressive.

If such wine were offered to players in a game, the authenticity might be preserved, but the game experience could be compromised.

Since it’s hard to say how many people can reproduce the taste of that era, and whether it has any advantage compared to modern wines is also uncertain.

So Lincoln’s expectation is that if the ancient wines they find are all low-alcohol and taste ordinary, they would only be placed in ordinary taverns in the Chang’an City.

Renowned and fine wines such as “Pear Blossom Spring”, “Osmanthus Liqueur”, “Five Cloud Sauce”, “Stone Frozen Spring”, “Amber Spring”, “Heavy Green Wine”, “San Chen Wine”, “Green Tide Wine”, etc., should not be taken lightly.

After all, if these famous names are used, some high-quality items must be provided for the players. Can it be done without taking it seriously?

Lincoln didn’t think it could.

Especially in Lincoln’s heart, there must be wine in the stories of chivalrous heroes in the Jianghu world!

So in “Virtual Chang’an”, there should not only be famous swords but also famous wines.

Even the significance of famous wines should be emphasized.

He even considered adding an “enhanced power” effect to the wine element.

For example, “Drinking a sip of Taibai Brew, power greatly increases for sixty years”…

Or create an NPC “Wine Sword Immortal”?

Or add some fantastical elements, giving players a liquor gourd that can heal wounds when they drink from it?

The better the wine in the gourd, the more health is restored?

Or make the liquor gourd a multi-functional item: healing wounds, detoxifying, storing items, spewing fire, or enchanting swords…

Having a bath while drinking a glass of wine, Lincoln’s thoughts fluttered wildly.
