Players Invade Cyberpunk

What money matters? Do they care about money?

When the Truth Department saw the total number of game players reaching two thousand, they judged that future gameplay would surely not involve just a few people in a team.

Player group organizations like guilds and large fleets are definitely indispensable.

How many new recruits you can pull in then means how much combat power you'll have.

Making a name for oneself is the most important thing.

Funds are secondary; with this game's operational model, players will definitely not lack money, and the Truth Department is already preparing to involve Jianxue and Tutu.

Stuffing Super Earth's private goods into Horizon Corporation's first advertisement, how could they have less fame?

"Well done! Good job! As expected of my second brother!"

The Truth Department paced back and forth.

"What's left is how to persuade the big shot to help with the commercial; his face has no substitute, and no one else could capture the same essence even if they acted."

The Propaganda Department looked at A2 and 2B guarding the construction site from afar, with an evil smile on their face.

"I have a plan, which will make him lower his defenses gracefully."

————

"What~?"

The big shot's voice was dragged out long, as if afraid others couldn't hear it.

"You want me to do a commercial? How embarrassing!"

"I'm not being modest, but you should really ask someone else for this kind of thing."

As expected, the other three people sweating it out on the site turned their heads this way, thinking they heard wrong.

"I won't be mistaken."

The Truth Department solemnly pointed at the big shot's face and said,

"I live in Fujian, six generations of physiognomists in my family, my grandfather was nicknamed Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy. You have a celestial bone in your forehead and divine light in your eyes, practically a deity born to this world with a face meant for the camera. Not doing our ad would be a real shame."

"I can assure you, just one visit, and you'll be famous throughout the land, adored by countless fans."

At this moment, Wildman patted the Truth Department on the shoulder and asked suddenly,

"Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy? Which Ma Yi? Do I know them?"

"Sakurajima Mai... oh no, how would I know which Ma Yi, you ask my grandfather."

The Truth Department, almost slipping, mumbled vaguely, though Wildman, while often hot-headed, was definitely the smartest in the team in normal circumstances.

"You want the big shot to shoot a commercial? What about it? What's the pay?"

With Gloria's permission, the Truth Department wasn't intimidated by Wildman's questions and even showed the task to him.

"Isn't this repairing a water plant here? It'll be for a water sales advertisement."

He displayed an expression of 'you're getting a great deal.'

"This is actually a private job we've received. If the big shot's extraordinary looks weren't so perfect, I'd just go find my younger brother."

Though our good brother's face is a bit clumsy, there's a world of difference compared to the big shot.

The big shot, too, saw the task the Truth Department was given, and their only minor doubt disappeared, since it was indeed a commercial shoot, so what could be an issue?

Wildman wanted to say something more, but the big shot was already too eager,

"What about my current work?"

The Truth Department directly pulled the big shot out,

"Relax, the pay certainly won't be short. Brotherhood is in the heart, through fire and water."

"And with your natural acting skills, it won't take more than a day or two to shoot, which will certainly earn more than this activity. Besides, Gloria's mentor said those participating in this activity will get a subsidy. Big profit."

A whole bunch of flattery raised the big shot to the skies.

Seeing the big shot already immersed in fantasies, the Truth Department struck while the iron was hot and threw out the ace,

"Furthermore, we'll arrange for A2 and 2B to be the female leads, and you're the male lead."

He deliberately made a 'you know what I mean' expression.

The A2 and 2B found by Super Earth were existences that drove countless player groups almost into a frenzy of jealousy, their status not inferior to the graffiti Masked Rider got this time.

Sure enough, this final blow left the big shot completely confused.

He scratched the back of his head, chuckling,

"Oh... how embarrassing... "

The Truth Department snickered inwardly,

Nonsense, does anyone ever say the male lead is guaranteed to have scenes with the female lead?

The big shot, entirely falling into the trap, was blissfully unaware of the title he'd gain in the future, immeasurably moved by the Truth Department.

He held the Truth Department's hands tightly,

"From today on, you're my brother for life. No more words; I've agreed, helping a brother is my life principle. What's doing a commercial? Let's do it!"

"Let's do it!"

The player community has always been straightforward like this, preferring efficiency over idle chatter.

Once the main actors agreed, they immediately took a train back to Night City to prepare all for the shoot.

The Propaganda Department even spent money to buy a Disobedience Photography Kit from the store.

Why not buy ocular implants?

The basic models start at 25,000, and the shooting effect isn't even better than a big-shot camera.

Goodbye.

Although players lacked a green screen for shooting commercials, the Truth Department could commission hacker players to produce effects in Cyberspace, freeloading some company computing power saves quite a bit.

As for props, even more so, the Truth Department had already custom-ordered six cape cockroach costumes from Sea Superman Studio, just right for their three extras this time.

Of course, the gear still prioritized looks over functionality, with only bulletproof and multi-vision features available, and the load-bearing was even inferior to simple exoskeletons, but the upside was it didn't interfere with using special prosthetics.

With explosive crossbows and rocket launchers slung over the back, they truly looked the part.

It's just that engrossed in shooting the commercial, they're unaware a conspiracy by Huang Ban targeting players is coming.
