Chapter 113 - 35: New and Old Users Meet_2
If any player knows how to do this and can get the design drawings, they could start working at any electric car company today or happily receive a pair of silver bracelets.
"Talking about this now is pointless." Egyptian Beauty shook her head, "The BOSS wants a product that can sell in the market, but do you even know what the market in this game looks like? Right now, the map is still limited to the Junk Mountain and Stone Ridge Mountain Towns, and one Adcardo Camp. We don’t even have anywhere to investigate, so how are we supposed to make something?"
"No one will give you an unfinishable main quest unless the game designer is doing nothing." At this moment, Jianxue, who had been silent, spoke up, "In such cases, clues for the main quest are often hidden in side quests or some corners of the game. Maybe this is the game company’s way of testing us."
"Testing?" Everyone was startled.
"Yes, testing." Jianxue, holding a long wooden stick he found from somewhere, spoke with an overly pretentious demeanor, his shoulder-length hair adding to the effect. "I pre-registered on the official website early, not sure if you noticed, but most of the outer layer of this office is something we players built. The degree of freedom is undeniably high."
"But the things we’ve made so far aren’t very technical, just like the redstone technology in MC. Various modules and redstone building systems were developed and created by the players themselves. Perhaps the Horizon game company wants to use this opportunity to see our creativity before deciding on future development directions."
"And whether there’s a market or not is ultimately decided by the game developers, right? It’s just a few lines of data for them. They haven’t even set up the city system, and there aren’t many NPCs, so where’s the market for you to research?"
"Hey!" Rainy Night Without a Knife suddenly brightened up, grabbing Egyptian Beauty’s arm, and said, "Maybe the issue you found with the water earlier is a clue. Didn’t you study water supply and drainage? Can you design a water purifier? It might have competitive potential."
"I advise you all to give up on this idea." Egyptian Beauty shook her head, "You may not have kept up with the news from the United States. Unclean water is a common issue, mainly due to pipe aging and high purification costs. The weak grassroots control makes it hard to enforce policies, but they have been working on advanced home water purifiers. Since Night City is set in California, it should be a similar situation unless we build a large water purification station; otherwise, it’s hopeless."
Egyptian Beauty’s words took a hit at the players’ enthusiasm, but they quickly started throwing out one harebrained idea after another.
