Players Invade Cyberpunk

Only can say "four funerals steam goose heart."

But it passed.

Cough...

Of course, it wasn't because Lin Miao liked it, but he thought players would definitely like it, and it could also serve as practice for newbie hackers to train programming skills.

New energy vehicles... do players really have the capability to achieve this?

Behind a car is a multi-billion-dollar industry chain, and Night City doesn't have any related industries at all; if they want to do it, many aspects would have to start from scratch.

Moreover, they also face the market pressure of high-energy fuel Chun Er...

All I can say is it's difficult. Right now, the most we can do is try prototypes in the lab; launching them on the market is definitely unrealistic.

Consider it for later evaluations.

Bun... Custom studio expansion, passed.

Glug glug—Fashion design studio, PASS...

Tutu... toy drones... Eh, seems a bit interesting, let's look at the sample once he brings it.

Lin Miao's head was spinning from looking at proposal after proposal. The better ones talk serious business, while the more crazy ones are already asking you to invest in Gion to build Gundams, or research Spiral Power, intending to throw the Milky Way Galaxy like a spinning top.

But it's something he must do.

Because allowing players to have their own industries is an important thing.

This not only means players will have more connections with the world but also allows them to showcase something even more important than combat—creativity.

Lin Miao is far from enough to contend with those behemoths on his own; he's not an inventor, and the system isn't some omnipotent Doraemon.

Compared to the system, players are his trump card.

They represent a group full of infinite possibilities, and if that's limited to warriors, then it's truly a pity.

And W can perfectly assist them in this process.

Normally, running a company and hiring employees will inevitably involve issues like corruption and cliques.

How could players have the leisure to handle all these matters? What they want is simply to operate game elements normally: hire employees, pay salaries, then get to work, with profits or losses, that's it.

Absolutely not those exhausting entanglements.

And W can nicely become the intermediary between the two.

In the eyes of players, so-called management is like looking at a game panel, with daily profits, losses, costs, and employee status clear, formulating business strategies and development directions, and being what's essentially a hands-off boss the rest of the time—so relaxing.

However... Lin Miao, looking at the mountain of proposals in front of him, felt he still underestimated the players' enthusiasm.

Better add a bit of threshold.

[Hotfix Patch: For proposals with less than 50 square meter shops and investment below 50,000, required GP points are 15,000; for hiring employees, the quota cannot exceed two people. For proposals between 50-200 square meters and investments below 20,000, the required GP points are 50,000, and the hiring quota cannot exceed 10 people. For proposals over 200 square meters, a separate contract must be made with office NPC-Lin Miao...]

"This place looks so strange meow, I feel like I'm about to bristle."

Hu Lang kept feeling her arm, trying to calm down, although she is a data entity now, she wouldn't feel cold, or bristle at all.

Following her were more than ten small and large hacker players, including Pandora; although the hackers behind her were still too green, Lucy wouldn't even admit they were hackers.

"Old internet huh."

Pandora looked at the surging information fragments around her, curious to intercept them and see what content they contained.

But as soon as she approached, a creepy feeling immediately stopped her hand.

"Not bad."

Lucy walking in front turned back and looked at Pandora who had stopped.

"That thing is probably the remnant of some company's firewall; meddling might activate an antivirus program. Although it might not be unbeatable, it would be a real hassle."

Pandora looked at Lucy, her tone and expression had a deliberately relaxed sense, but her eyes held hidden anxiety, constantly glancing around as if worried about something.

Pandora was all too familiar with this expression, as her mother used to speak to her like that often when she was in the hospital.

"Lucy teacher, you... seem really afraid of this place."

Pointed out by the student, Lucy's face looked a bit embarrassed, was she that obvious?

"Eh~ Really though."

Hearing Pandora's words, Hu Lang also noticed the teacher's reaction wasn't quite right, but she didn't think Lucy was afraid of the AI here.

She leaned closer, grabbing Lucy's arm, like a curious child digging for gossip.

"Does Lucy teacher have some secret past here meow?"

"Like maybe Lucy teacher actually had a sister, who was taken into the old internet while young, but encountered strong AI attacks, accidentally separated from her sister, who was forever lost in the old internet, and then walked the hacker's path alone to find her sister in this place until meeting that man..."

Hu Lang's mind nearly in an instant crafted a whole storyline, her body undulating like waves.

"Aaaaah～ This session's fan fiction story is set meow, posting it on the forum will definitely blow up, maybe even have rights bought for adaptation, meow will be a famous writer..."

Bang!

Lucy smashed her fist on the head of the little wild thinker, speaking calmly.

"Don't imagine non-existent stuff here, I don't have any lost sister..."

"Just... sigh..."

Lucy hadn't expected she'd find herself re-entering the old internet.

This place used to be a nightmare for her for a long time; who knows how many companions have died to viruses, malware, and firewalls here.

"You guys..." Lucy looked at these newbie hackers who might not even have her ten-year-old level, her head also felt big.

She suddenly felt herself not much different from Huang Ban who drags people to their deaths.

The difference is these people eagerly seek death.

"Stay on guard, this is absolutely not your usual local network, attacks may happen at any time."
