Players Invade Cyberpunk

Lin Miao was quite satisfied with the situation at the weapons factory.

Due to the lack of production technology for heavy weapons, the Great Mount Pill and armored vehicles seized from Dog Town and Huang Ban were particularly valued by Lin Miao.

He's not the type to believe that order can resolve all conflicts, especially in a world where corporations have waged several massive hot wars. Without some force at hand, even meals outside are uneasy.

As for purchasing, Lin Miao had considered it, but regrettably, Military Technology does not sell.

The events in Dog Town and with the Sixth Street Gang made Military Technology feel threatened by Lin Miao, as things were gradually slipping out of their control.

A sharp edge can instill market confidence, but it can also make people wary.

Having only light weapons and acting this bold, if given a tank, would you aim for the moon?

Military Technology's current expectation for Horizon Corporation is to be docile in Night City, laying golden eggs like a hen, and not to keep stirring up trouble outside.

Of course, Lin Miao wanted to do so, but it's impossible; many things do not shift according to a person's will.

Therefore, the footsteps of causing trouble will not cease.

But the prerequisite for causing trouble is money, is pleasure; without money, nothing can be done.

[System: Host, I have to tell you some bad news]

"Have you ever told me any good news?"

This guy just reported bad news yesterday that his goods were robbed.

"Speak."

[System: Barclays Bank Consortium has pressed the sale agreement of Gem Cyan Hotel. Initially, we should have met with Gago this morning to sign, but the other party said there's an urgent matter, pushing the signing to next week]

Next week?

Why not say next year?

Clearly, they're trying to delay and observe the changes.

"What's the chance they have uncovered the truth?"

[System: Based on the data we've collected, the European Community should know there's a Little Beidou Laboratory hidden underground in the Taiping Continent]

Those two French hackers are still detained at Gem Cyan Hotel, extracting some information from them would be a breeze for Lucy.

"So you think... they uncovered something and plan to delay?"

Barclays Bank Consortium is a major British consortium, part of the European Community banks. A single Gem Cyan Hotel is not that significant to them, not to mention it's a rundown location occupied by Hansen for ten years.

Estimated to have long been classified as an asset to be abandoned, and now pulled out for re-utilization.

[System: Barclays Bank Consortium lacks data, unable to speculate]

Lin Miao was furious: "You leech! Last time I sent you to Europe to steal data, you didn't go, now look, you know nothing!"

[System: You can't even enter the Cyberspace, how are you commanding me to steal data?]

"If I could go, why would I need you, do you understand what it means to ease the boss's burdens?"

[System: Boss, how much salary do you pay me each month?]

"Damn..."

The current workers are getting more unruly, not working without wages, lacking any sense of dedication, how inappropriate!

Indeed, finding Gago, Dog Town's chosen worker, is still necessary.

As the direct party and financial handler for Netherworld Dog, Gago's information channels surpass Lin Miao's covert development in Night City.

Upon the refusal to sign, Gago was already looking for ways to gather information.

Though he previously acted as a Military Technology informant, liaising between Military Technology and the Internet Supervisor, now that Lin Miao has crushed Hansen, if he wants to stay in Dog Town, he can only choose to work for Lin Miao. With the resources at hand, achieving a high position isn't an issue.

Loyalty is all bought with money.

Lin Miao didn't tell him about the Little Beidou reactor; to fool the enemy, you must first deceive your own.

But Gago also keenly sensed that something unknown was happening in the Taiping Continent, leading companies to start liquidating assets, preparing to cash out and exit.

The reason land prices haven't collapsed yet is entirely because Horizon Corporation and Ye Group are holding up this market. From motivational analysis, the behavior of both companies is unproblematic.

Thus, Barclays Bank Consortium's actions appear very suspicious.

"This refusal to sign should be only Barclays Bank's idea, no other company is suppressing the price yet."

"But it doesn't rule out someone following suit."

Only one group...

Lin Miao believes, given the circumstances of the European Community, if the nuclear leak indication has been detected as fabricated, they will likely join in to harvest, rather than sit out.

It means... they're betting, probing, after all, Lin Miao's lack of information access is understandable, but Horizon Corporation's simultaneous reclamation of property truly looks odd.

After all, it's really difficult for a non-idiot doing an idiot's deed not to arouse suspicion among the discerning.

If Lin Miao hesitates, these sharks might smell blood, swarming in and thwarting his plans.

Eating less equals loss.

"Gago... how many places haven't we completed the agreement process for payments?"

"Currently, 13 acquisition projects are finished, costing 170 million Orokin. There are 29 ongoing negotiations, involving 600 million, and there are 41 project holders in hesitation without entry."

"Stop all projects except the acquired ones, tell those sellers we're terminating agreements, compensate for breach, we're not buying their land, stop our website's acquisition page."

"Immediately list all acquired lands for urgent sale, at a price 10% lower than our previous bidding price, lower by 2 points each day if unsold, with no lower limit."
