Players Invade Cyberpunk

Really pissed off now, the aftermath of overheating is always the same.

Grabbing suits and exchanging punches, the image of a successful person with a polished look in the past has completely vanished, wishing they could shove their fist into the opponent's mouth, reckoning all new and old grudges together.

Not to mention a small city council.

Even if it's a congressional meeting or a United Nations assembly, shoes off and slapping faces isn't a rare occurrence.

Lucius sitting in the main seat was stunned; luckily, Hote beside him raised a notebook to deflect a flying ashtray.

He regrettably said to Hote, "Maybe we should have done something back then, but it's a pity it's too late."

Hote didn't forget to compliment, "It's not your fault, Mayor, no one expected things to go this far. Maybe we should just hide outside the meeting room."

Seeing this scene, Jefferson also gasped, thinking, how can you manage good politics sitting with these people?

Then look at Lin Miao, still giving speeches on Taiping Continent, hoping to bring citizens through the crisis. I've heard his mercenaries are also trying to solve this nuclear accident.

Comparing people really can drive you mad.

Almost there...

It's been three days since the nuclear leak completely erupted, public opinion is rampant, even Night City's control machines have failed.

Originally, this time should have seen big chaos, street fighting, killing, and looting, the whole city falling into disorder.

But... it seems that's just the case.

The most trouble-making batch had their heads shaved in the past half a year.

And several city wars were fought in a row, everyone's passion has been exhausted almost completely. Now hearing about nuclear leakage... looking at the well-armed Horizon Mercenaries on the street...

Comparatively, the latter seems a bit scarier.

After all, nuclear leakage doesn't kill immediately, life still goes on, but if you piss off those mercenaries, you definitely won't live past the next second.

Apart from hovercars flying everywhere, the lower half of Night City has unexpectedly fallen into a kind of eerie calm.

Jing Luo walks the street angrily brandishing a firearm, looking confused

"What's the deal with the nuclear radiation? How did it show up without any warning?"

Jing Luo tearfully said, "Who said there weren't any? The Gage counters were clicking over half a month ago, we just didn't take it seriously."

Players aren't Night City locals, who prepares any Gage counters, let alone 90% of players who've just heard but never seen them, placed in front of them they would just assume it's dust in a microphone.

Jing Luo indignantly said, "I saw the forum saying this is the preview content for the next version, and most likely it's done by rogue AI. Do you think we will be fighting robots then?"

His speculation isn't without reason, after all, various big and small gangs in Night City have been dealt with, the only potential enemies left are corporations and rogue AI. Now the corporations are overwhelmed, the probability of the mastermind being rogue AI is high.

And looking back at things players encountered in several versions, many can be connected to rogue AI.

"I think not necessarily."

Jing Luo tearfully shook his head, looking at another analysis post

The contents of that post are absurd, but it has high credibility.

Which is, the real-world military power of rogue AI against human society is certainly overwhelming, really taking action wouldn't use nuclear radiation as a signal, since nuclear radiation harms robots much more than humans.

"Then what do you think it is?"

"Possibly a monster side mission."

Jing Luo indignantly rolled eyes, wanting to say this guy must be crazy, but Jing Luo indignantly said certainly

"You see, Night City has heavy neon colors, right? Nuclear radiation, Neon, and the sea, maybe Godzilla from Neon special effects is hiding in the water? Cross collaboration?"

Not without players trying to swim towards the radiation source, even commandeering a speedboat heading that way.

But once entering the sea not far, the system would show they've exceeded the map boundary, then fall unconscious, waiting for others to fish them back.

Yet because of this, they haven't had too much tension over nuclear radiation, after all, they aren't Neon People, not exposed to the sun.

The game officials aren't anxious and even say on forums to hold steady, why should these players worry?

Just wait and enjoy the show.

Radioactive sources appeared near Taiping Continent. The most anxious are certainly the landholders of Taiping Continent, those with sufficient capital are okay, mostly limping through, but those lacking capital, the majority still local companies in Night City would go mad.

Each one willing to slash land prices just to sell and recover funds, a bunch even ran to Horizon Corporation's entrance, trying to force Lin Miao to fulfill his contracts, but Lin Miao completely ignored them.

He now has no interest in buying land on Taiping Continent, already has a pile of discounted land waiting for buyers, why would he still buy their land?

Ye Corporation is still acquiring, but the price they offer is no different from taking it for free, unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't choose to sell to Ye Corporation

While various companies were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, just about ready to jump off rooftops when finally Jesus was willing to extend his hand to the world.

"Hello."

The Crow Micro Technology manager was receiving a distinguished guest

"I heard you're interested in land on Taiping Continent?"

"Yes, that's right."

The visitor sat on a chair, exuding a calm aura.

"Then I trust you must be aware of some recent... events in Taiping Continent, correct."

The visitor nodded, "Nuclear leak, and very serious."

The manager extended his hand

"How should I address you?"

"You can call me... Handz."
