Players Invade Cyberpunk

This results in seamless integration, truly treating people like interchangeable mechanical parts.

While other companies opt for special behavioral chips and high-intensity super-dream training, Lin Miao divides all construction procedures into the most atomic phases, allowing even a fool to understand whom to follow and what to do.

This was inspired by Lin Miao during previous system construction office blueprints, and he asked Lucy to help develop this as part of the OGAS system.

Jing Luo exclaimed joyfully, "When will such technology be available in reality..."

"Reality?" The cop patted his shoulder.

"This is a game. No matter how much nonsense you spew, it doesn't matter, but reality demands science, young man. Focus more on practice, don't daydream."

"Quickly register your skills in the Sea God Industry software, like excavator operation, tower crane, or driving skills, so that jobs can be assigned to you accordingly."

The cop soon led them four to the entry point of the construction site, where Red Bucket sat impressively at the entrance, eyeing every new player coming online to collect their 'worker's suit' like a gatekeeper.

Anyone who doesn't properly wear a reflective vest and safety helmet receives a harsh scolding. Even female players with countless simps and white knights in other games are just ordinary gray laborers in front of him and receive no mercy in his reprimands. His demeanor is totally different from his usual affable self.

A newbie female player was directly brought to tears by his tirade.

But Red Bucket had no intention of offering comfort, instead loudly announcing,

"Crying? Crying counts as time, you know. Let me tell you, this event uses a point system. Completing each phase of a block construction mission earns labor points, which can be exchanged for prosthetics, equipment, ammo... The more you do, the more you get. But don't rush the jobs; if the quality doesn't pass inspection, you'll have to rework it, wasting the whole group's time."

Red Bucket also has his own construction team, and they're working enthusiastically because the rewards from this event can be exchanged for much more than previous battle missions. Previously, you could only auction the spoils from battles, but now labor points could be exchanged for many items, even two types of the latest robots worth fifty to sixty thousand in the market. Completing fifty stage tasks can get you one, making Red Bucket very eager.

Visualizing players' accomplishments and progress, letting them receive emotional motivation periodically, significantly boosts individual labor efficiency.

This is the result of Lin Miao's three-month observation of hundreds of players.

Originally, quite a few newbie players wanted to complain that they were just going online to work. But after hearing this, they immediately discovered what could be redeemed on the event interface—a prosthetic arm, weapons...

The colorful items almost dazzled them, leaving them unable to hold back.

What nonsense "female player privilege"; can it really be more important than grinding the game?

Get moving!

After receiving the 'benefits' Lin Miao prepared for them, construction groups and assigned work blocks, they charged into the construction site with eagerness.

"Burn, my civil engineering little universe!"

"Rookie! Drop the rebar. Such treasures in your hands are nothing but wasted; these treasures naturally belong to the virtuous."

"Boss, I'm hitting the jackpot here, a bag of cement. I'll drop it and retreat first..."

That spirit—they seem like they're here to work. But outsiders might think they're bandits coming down the mountain to rob.

Many are in sub-health condition in reality, spending long hours in offices without taking even ten thousand steps a day. They were like a bunch of pampered soldiers being hurried to the construction site.

However, in the game, everyone's bodies are remarkably healthy. Though they may not run atop horses, at least they won't be huffing and puffing after a 50m sprint.

Even if they don't know how to work, every construction team is led by at least one veteran player with Civil Engineering LV3 or above, along with NPCs and two types of robots equipped with industrial modules. With assistance from Sea God Industry, newcomers can quickly get the hang of things.

Although according to Lin Miao's plan, simple tasks like excavation shouldn't need manual labor, the current number of robots is limited. Even with fully loaded and hard-working production lines, capacity constraints remain. Therefore, manpower is still unavoidable in the early stages.

The players, showing those temporary workers lured from Night City what true internal competition means.

The kings of grinding!

"Wow, so this is Big Sur."

The Truth Department stood on a hillside, gazing at the barren rolling mountains around, the continuous steep cliffs invoking hesitation, alongside the black waves crashing against the coastline.

"It's very different from the photos I checked online, so bare, can't even find a tree."

The propaganda department behind replied, "It's normal. After all, this game has Earth ravaged by nuclear bombs countless times, severe nuclear contamination, and rumor has it biological weapons too. Probably all the birds and fish are nearly extinct."

Unlike that batch of players remaining at Stone Ridge Mountain, the Super Balloon trio temporarily had no business plans nor good methods to seek investment from Lin Miao. They simply came to this new map of Big Sur to lay the groundwork.
