Players Invade Cyberpunk

The storm is about to come, and the wind fills the building.

As the oldest Old Deng in the current world, the death of Huang Ban Sanlang signifies the end of an old era completely.

And his death has allowed many to see the strong undercurrents brewing under the calm surface of the world that has been stable for fifty years.

The collapse of the internet, earthquakes, nuclear wars, hunger plagues, and other events of the twenties, although they dealt a significant blow to human civilization, the relative power shifts also brought a lengthy period of redevelopment bonuses.

However, due to corporations worldwide maintaining a long-term unsustainable model of draining the pond to catch fish, the world economy has yet to recover from the crisis.

Lin Miao has been puzzled by this for a long time.

On one hand, corporations and banks crazily lend money to people of all classes, wishing to burden them with loans they could never repay in their lifetime from the moment they are born.

On the other hand, it seems they completely disregard whether these people can repay their debts, allowing social unrest, with biochemical experiments in cities claiming lives in large numbers, causing property losses often exceeding billions.

Even the corporate employees, serving as the main force of market consumption, frequently face serious threats to their life safety.

So, in such a scenario, how many bad debts are piled up in the banks?

He couldn’t help but wonder.

Is your money really printed by nuclear-powered printing presses?

With this approach, can the economy really keep running?

Do you truly believe that the population increases punctually at dawn every day?

In theory, businessmen should desire a stable operating environment, yet here they are competing to sabotage city security, even proactively inviting gangs to manage the lower levels, provoking infighting among the lower class, because otherwise, those at the bottom might turn their guns on them.

No wonder the global economy hasn’t progressed since the onset of corporate wars, stagnating for a full eighty years, holding technology advanced by an inconceivable margin compared to the other side, yet globally the total economy lags behind the world of 2025, remaining in a state of semi-permanent collapse according to Lin Miao.

With such parasites around, how can the economy possibly improve?

A saying was popular among players for a short while.

It claimed that members of the large capital groups had gradually separated into a different world from the lower class, no longer needing them, sustaining the lower classes with cheap life supports and waiting for them to die out, leaving only a new world for the wealthy, and everyone could enter GCZY.

However, this notion only lasted a few days before being harshly criticized.

Do you really think capital is something you can discard at will?

If any upper-level member of a corporate group harbors such thoughts, all that awaits is bankruptcy and liquidation, sweeping them out, while the remaining winners take all.

So, after rounds of analysis, everyone has reached one conclusion.

This world is just a makeshift troupe.

No profound secrets, just pure decimation.

It’s truly a situation where everyone is fixated on the leftover morsel before them, not eating means starvation or being beaten to death by others, everyone lives day by day, hoping to outlast others to feast on the corpses.

It’s not that no one has noticed the current situation’s danger, they are trying every means to maintain the current situation, delaying the explosion of this bomb a bit longer.

Under the leadership of current Chairman Sanders Moceval, the United Bank of Europe has unprecedentedly lowered interest rates seventeen times in a row, bringing even the savings rate close to zero.

The aim is to encourage businesses and the middle class to take on more loans and consume, salvaging the current declining market.

Stop hoarding the damn money!

However, Sanders is more acutely aware of one thing.

That is, there are hardly any savings to speak of, the whole world is in a frenzy of loan-fueled consumption, nearly reaching the limit of borrowing capacity.

In an uncontrolled environment, capitalism is bound to head towards self-destruction.

Sanders knows they have reached the edge of a cliff, one more step forward and they might plunge into an endless abyss.

Sitting in a bright and luxurious office, Sanders looked at the continuously rising bad debt rate compared to previous years on the account statistics, unable to sleep at night.

The AI "Governor" popped up in front of him continues to report.

"Sir, the Modkaisen Foundation Group is lobbying more members of the European Community, collectively wishing for the ’European Dream Down Payment Act’ to be passed at next week’s monthly meeting. Their support rate has already exceeded 67%."

This is already the fourth time the act has entered the voting stage, barring any accidents, it’s expected to pass in the next session.

The precondition is that Chairman Sanders does not interfere.

He immediately shook his head.

"That’s impossible, I will not let that insane act pass, burdening those immigrants and lower-class people with mortgages beyond their means, where would they find the money to repay them?"

Sanders determined that under no circumstances should this act pass during his tenure, or it would undoubtedly be a grand spectacle where everyone gets blown to bits like fireworks.

"Schedule me a meeting with the United Kingdom’s Finance Minister, I must stop their reckless actions."

The Governor calmly analyzed.

"Sir, you have repeatedly blocked the act from entering the voting phase, it involves the interests of many, I worry they might resort to some extreme actions."

"No problem, things shouldn’t escalate to that level yet."

Sanders was still very confident in his personal safety, there has never been a precedent in history of anyone daring to lay a hand on the Chairman of the United Bank of Europe.
