Players Invade Cyberpunk

"Oh! Darling, you're all solid muscle~~"

"The smell of this lubricant and steel is so strong! So strong!"

Such enthusiasm, how could Mantou possibly resist?

Damn it, how could she resist!

As the surrounding players got closer and closer, she was frightened enough to pull a wrench from her clothes, ready to give each of these guys a critical hit, when Lin Miao finally appeared to stop the players' bold actions, and also saved their foreheads just in time from the wrench's impact.

"How's the stuff coming along?"

Only then did the players consciously make way, allowing Lin Miao to walk up to the exoskeleton.

After sizing it up, this thing was far from being described as exquisite, and could even be considered shabby to some extent. Compared to the photos Military Science and the others posted online—it's like a J35 up against a JN-4.

Basically, a hundred-year gap.

But he nodded in satisfaction and asked Mantou.

"Can we produce independently now?"

"No way." Mantou shook her head and said, "Many parts on it exceed the limit of manual processing. Without the help of professional machine tools, I can't make it, and I also can't handle the control program on it. That's all designed by Adcardo's computer technicians."

To confess, she spent more time giving opinions than actually working during the process.

"Parts aren't the problem, we can order from Adcardo. I'm sure they won't refuse a free order, but we can't rely entirely on them for the control program." Lin Miao thought for a moment before saying, "Here's what we'll do. I'll order three more sets of the same parts from Adcardo. When you go pick them up tomorrow or the day after, bring Pandora along, let her look into the control program programming on site, and when she returns, have her design a source code encryption program."

With the [Hacker] training, Pandora had made great progress in the past two days.

"Then there's the field test. As long as it passes the field test, your mission is considered complete. I'll establish a military industry department at the firm, acquire a production line, and you'll be the top designer in it, with naming rights and profit sharing for the products."

As he spoke, Lin Miao sneaked a peek at Mantou's skill chart. In the past two days she neither joined other players' shooting practice nor had time to gather resources, with only a gigantic [Basic Mechanical Engineering LV4] in her skill bar.

It's only been two or three days, and this is far from her limit.

When he was scouting players, he had already checked Mantou's profile, ensured she was a master's student in the Engineering Department, and then recruited her. The same applies to the Egyptian Beauty, who will definitely come in handy in the future, as he brought them in specifically from among the ordinary players.

And he discovered something during the two days of open super-dream training.

These players learned things at a ridiculously fast pace, definitely not something purely out of interest could explain, surely there's something fishy going on.

[Top Designer]

What is this?

Equipment naming rights!

Faction profit sharing!

Even a fool could guess that this is the mysterious big prize for the mission, possibly tailored specifically according to the player and product. If Jianxue Wuming is chosen, he's likely going to be some kind of chemical plant director!

And even if not, he still gets a slice of the cake.

Other players felt a stab of regret, wishing they had gotten involved, even if just to have a taste.

But this disappointment didn't last long, as they quickly realized that Mantou and Jianxue Wuming are ready-made thighs to hold onto!

The subpar soldier immediately flung himself at Mantou's feet. "Boss! Give me a test drive, please. I've dreamed of piloting an EVA all my life. No EVA? That's fine, I'll take a Power Armor. I'm not picky."

Seeing this, Water Moon Cave Heaven and others were shocked, as this bastard had beaten them to it, and they looked at Mantou's other leg, eagerly preparing to try.

Mantou, who was initially excited, hurriedly wielded the wrench to drive away the subpar soldier. "My lady's thigh is not for everyone to embrace, you know?"

At the very least, you guys must look as good as the boss!

"Shoo, shoo, get away from me. The matter isn't even set yet and you're competing here. Wait until it's on the shelves and buy it yourself."

Anyway, even if the field test isn't passed in the end, four finished products will emerge, and these must be sold to the players to recoup Lin Miao's investment costs.

Egyptian Beauty: "What's the use of entering the store? These are definitely high-level equipment, not purple gear, but even blue gear, where would we get the money to buy it?"

The players' faces fell upon hearing this, estimating that this thing must cost at least two or three W, and it's impossible to earn that much even if they work their hands to the bone.

Remember, at the end of the last version's big battle, seven of the nine veteran players got wiped out, barely earning about 1W in points, most of which were spent on equipment, leaving barely any savings.

Lin Miao had no interest in interfering with these things, letting the players solve it themselves. He just got a call that needed individual attention.

A group of players surrounded Mantou making a racket, making her feel overwhelmed. Finally, she furrowed her brow, put away the wrench, and said to everyone,

"Alright then, test-driving isn't impossible, but there are conditions."

Water Moon Cave Heaven immediately said, "I'm willing to offer myself!"

Dabuda Tutu: "Damn, you're really shameless!"

"Get lost! Wait until you're as handsome as the boss, and then maybe."

Mantou disdainfully sneered at Water Moon Cave Heaven before continuing and saying

"This prototype still has many issues that need improvement. After the test drive, each of you must give me a usage report, explaining clearly what shortcomings need to be addressed, or else it's not happening."

Subpar Warrior immediately raised his hand and said, "Me! Me! I used to work at the Kowloon Police Station and am very good at writing reports!"

"???????"

Seeing the weird looks from the crowd, the Subpar Warrior awkwardly chuckled, "I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Damn!

Blondie White Dragon was one thing, but is there a Kowloon cop here too?

Where the hell did this game recruit its players from? Will there be international servers in the future?

The simplified version is pretty much like this
