Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - Chapter 1410

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1268 Every Step is Beyond Expectation!_3 Chapter 1410: Chapter 1268 Every Step is Beyond Expectation!_3 Little Chun continued, “Originally, when Yun Song left NetDragon to join Cloud Dream, he just hoped that I could enjoy freedom in the virtual world even after I was completely paralyzed in bed.”
“But we never imagined that this choice would completely change our lives.”
“Half a year after joining Cloud Dream, the remuneration I received had multiplied by hundreds of times, and then we established the ‘ALS Special Effects Drug R&D Foundation,’” Randall continued from where Little Chun left off.

“However, R&D for the special effects drug was like a bottomless pit; billions were poured in, only creating a few ripples.

Whether or not it would be successful, or when, remained unknown.”
“Then, the Boss heard about this.”
“After that, the foundation received a hundred billion in funding—and that was just the initial amount.”
Randall’s eyes were still filled with gratitude as he looked at Lincoln.

The audience below also turned their gazes towards Lincoln.

Lincoln, standing on the side, felt a bit overwhelmed and couldn’t help saying, “Let’s focus on the important matters, please.”
Randall knew Lincoln didn’t need this kind of thanks, but he still couldn’t resist saying a few more words of appreciation.

Finally, it was Little Chun who spoke up, revealing the true purpose:
“Now, we would like to announce some good news: Just last month, there was a key breakthrough in the R&D of the ALS Special Effects Drug.”
“As the first patient to try the new drug, my condition has been effectively controlled, and my overall health has significantly improved.”
“At this moment, the new drug is being fast-tracked through clinical testing and could be on the market as early as next year.”
“We’re making this announcement here in hopes that all ALS patients who can see this press conference will learn of this good news as soon as possible.”

“Don’t give up, don’t despair, and don’t be passive.”
“No matter who you are, no matter what you have gone through before, I want to tell you: we have hope.”
“Our lives can start over.”
“We…

Can also have a future!” As Little Chun spoke, her voice began to choke up.

…

As a patient, she understood all too well the despair of slowly losing control over her body and inching towards death.

If this news had been announced just half a year later, who knows how many patients would have chosen to end their lives in despair.

Now that a glimmer of hope had appeared, it would be truly wrenching if someone gave up on life because of delayed news.

So, after Little Chun brought up this matter, Lincoln decided without a second thought to announce this news during this highly publicized press conference.

With the level of attention this press conference was getting, the news would definitely spread across the globe in no time!

The audience was a bit stunned.

At first, when Little Chun revealed her identity as an ALS patient, they thought this was going to be a “touching Daxia” story—
‘A woman afflicted with a terminal disease, in the last moments of her life, diligently developed a new game, bringing joy to countless players around the world.’
This classic script had already formed in many people’s minds.

But nobody expected the narrative to take such a turn, with a direct leap to developing the special effect medicine!

Lincoln, for his own startup team member, did not hesitate to pour in billions, not even blinking an eye.

And then…

Did it actually work?!

ALS!

A disease that had troubled the entire world for so long, just like that conquered?

“Is this what having money can do?”
“So…

ALS can be cured?”
“That’s truly Cloud Dream’s style of doing things!”
“Cloud Dream…

Awesome!!!”
