Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chapter 39: Beginning of the Firm's Business_2



Reyes choked, is this BYD messing with him?

"Just go ahead and kill me."

"Machine tool + generator + reactor, 110,000."

"Hey... brother, it's not about the money. The reactor and generator are easy to talk about, but the machine tool is something the company keeps a very tight watch over."

"120,000."

"Don't push me further."

"140,000."

"I'm begging you here."

"150,000."

"These things can only be found in Dog Town, but you know the people there are really shady. It's not only a hassle to get in and out, but they also charge a hefty toll."

"170,000."

"But the old captain never lets business partners down. I have a route there, and can get him to keep an eye out for you. I'll notify you as soon as there's news."

"Now that's more like it."

In the world of capital, there are no things money can't buy, only when you don't have enough money.

If you have the cash, you can even hire Huang Ban and Military Science to stage a fifth corporate war as a show.

After all, it's not like they haven't done it before, just that it really boiled over into real conflict last time.

Not to mention two machine tools already on the verge of leaving the second tier, their second-hand price is around 40-50,000 Euro Gold each. Lin Miao's requested total of 110,000 is the base price, but as Reyes said, machine tools leaked from unofficial channels aren't like other things, companies won't let go so easily.

Even though companies have plenty of 32-axis automated CNC machine tools, with a main control working eight coordinate systems simultaneously, the accuracy is frighteningly high, and regular 5-axis CNC has become quite mainstream.

Although complicated doesn't always mean practical, they are certainly precise, and expensive, costing at least several thousand Euro Gold each. An operator with less than a master's degree pressing a button could break your hand!

The investment is a bit hefty, but Lin Miao believes it's worth it.

Even if they can't finally make an exoskeleton, they can still forge guns, ammo, or other things, there's no shortage of things to make anyway.

.....

The old captain's work efficiency in Santo Domingo is commendable, though his middleman reputation isn't as high as Faraday's, the ordinary people below him still respect him; big tasks or small, they flow continuously, with plenty of his eyes in factories.

After the call to Reyes in the morning, by afternoon a full set of small electric carbon steel reactor, generator, and the first batch of raw materials like smoking nitric acid, sodium perchlorate, Pestanol, butanol, among others, were delivered to Stone Ridge Mountain. They even sent people over to help install the equipment.

The location for the chemical workshop was chosen behind a town road, there used to be several mobile homes there but now they're demolished for materials. The newly emptied space should be utilized.

This group's manufactured goods are extremely hazardous, no problem pulling new electrical wires. Lin Miao wouldn't dare place them inside the walls; if anything explodes, losing a few players might be acceptable, but it could bring collateral damage, making him miserable.

There's some news regarding CNC machine tools. A batch of goods from Meta Group will arrive at Dog Town in a week before being smuggled into Indonesia. Since someone in Night City wants them, no need to pay for freight.

Obviously, the counterpart has asked the chemical factory people what these things can produce, repeatedly warning not to blow things up; if this explodes, both he and Lin Miao won't be able to keep the consequences under control.

The players witnessed once again the BOSS's connections and methods; Jianxue submitted a post on the official website yesterday with a try-it-out mindset, and today, the equipment and raw materials were obtained, which made Jianxue surprised and flattered. He's just a chemical production technician, first time being valued so highly.

Regrettably, Jianxue didn't complete the main quest, which was a small chemical room the BOSS funded 20,000 Euro Gold to build. He holds 90% of shares, Jianxue holds 10%, belonging to technical shares, reasoning the player's proposal was excellent, but the goods couldn't enter the market, only for players themselves in limited scope.

Do players have any opinion?

Opinions? Hell no! Holy crap!

Being able to make PETN explosives or black gunpowder in the game is thrilling enough, the BOSS even funded a factory, gave him shares; Jianxue Unnamed almost hugged the BOSS's thigh, singing "Grateful Heart".

Just a main quest, it's totally worth it!

Other players are green with envy.

The poor warrior beat his chest "I don't accept this! What's wrong with my V Gundam? It got rejected, and I haven't even uploaded the No. 1 Machine design yet!"

Brother Dao glanced "I think you're Gion's intent isn't on the alcohol, you're not really after some Gundam or No. 1 Machine, you want Bikini sister and Asuka Langley Soryu, don't you?"

Poor warrior: "You've seen right through me."

Brother Dao: "Sorry, I'm from the fragrance faction."

Water Moon Cave Heaven and Big Ears Tutu sighed as well. They both thought their submissions were pretty good, but didn't understand why they didn't pass.

One was primitive style

One was science fiction style

The only thing they didn't consider was whether the office could use them presently, so they could only team up to continue fixing warehouses and collecting materials.

Egyptian Beauty, on the other hand, wasn't surprised his submission didn't get selected. It was just based on conventional water purifiers, nothing innovative, he wasn't studying environmental protection anyway.

No matter how you dress explosives, they can hurt people, whether nitroglycerin, TNT, or PETN, applied to someone—likely similar in effect; the backwardness of water purifiers is real backwardness, no competitiveness.

Among the three groups of players, only the first batch led by Potato lacked any thoughts about the main quest was a bow Ni once showed Lin Miao on day one and got rejected. The others aren't material for this, better off focusing on skills and clearing Phoenix Club.
