Players Invade Cyberpunk

The Bumblebee drones are equipped with night vision to meet the needs of users looking after their kids. The effectiveness is even better than regular cyber eyes, allowing clear transmission of images to the investigation team inside the vehicle.

Lin Miao was taking a gamble on this deal, not on the performance of the exoskeleton, as it had already proven itself, but on whether this punch could knock the Night Wanderer out cold.

At the very least, they should be scared enough not to come looking for trouble anytime soon.

Though sometimes people joke about how often Neon gambles with the fate of their country, when you want to turn your life around with limited capital.

Gambling becomes an essential part of the strategy.

But you need to have some understanding and gamble consistently because a gambler who doesn't win the house is meaningless.

Lin Miao's confidence was in flipping the table.

Either I take over the Stone Ridge Mountain Tunnel

Or I blow up this unfinished tunnel on the Night Wanderer's heads, burying your people alive inside.

It wasn't just Mann placing explosives in the hurriedly constructed path following my routes; Lin Miao was also laying down charges as the players advanced.

He didn't understand the theory of structural demolition.

But he knew that bricks fly with enough force; it goes without saying for the chemical workshop, and as long as the encoded program for the five-axis CNC machine tools is set correctly, it just needs an assistant next to it. Training only takes a few hours to get up and running, and the two production lines can produce rockets and exoskeleton parts 24/7.

It may seem a bit unscrupulous, but that's how this world operates.

"Horizon Corporation..."

The investigation team initially shocked, gradually shifting to comprehension.

Because in the combat and shooting styles of these people, they saw a trace of Huang Ban's influence.

After all, many members of the Sixth Street Gang were former federal soldiers left over from the Unification War. Though they hadn't engaged in a full-blown battle in Night City, they had fought with Huang Ban's soldiers often enough to become very familiar.

But, well...

These people only had traces of Huang Ban, likely because they had used Huang Ban's training chip through some channels.

If they were actual Huang Ban operatives, they'd actually be less interested in doing business with them.

William looked at his companions, "What do you think?"

"If you're purely asking about how the exoskeleton's performing... 1 point."

The investigator observed the Wildmen squad caught in the BOSS fight,

"That Night Wanderer's skill level is decent, would barely make a lieutenant in the military, and his body mods are from about a decade ago, light subdermal armor, wired muscle... if it were a one-on-one fight... I wouldn't be confident, but he certainly performs better than this exoskeleton."

At least he didn't bluff and say he could take him down solo, just a 50/50 chance.

"The limitations of this exoskeleton are already evident. Unlike cyberware, it doesn't offer portability, and while its performance is acceptable for ordinary people, for those equipped with high-intensity mods, it not only fails to aid but restricts their full capabilities."

"It severely limits the use of most arm mods and the Sianweistan. I just tried it, the exoskeleton couldn't keep up with my neural response."

"The only point awarded is for not causing cyberpsychosis."

"But considering the price... I'd give it 6 points, barely passing. A few of these in a street fight or stronghold defense would give us a significant advantage."

Actually, there's something he didn't say: with this paint job, he'd be willing to give it an 8.

It's like everyone knows the so-called Longquan Sword is just for show, but does it impede its style?

Just like Lin Miao once said, at this price range, what do you expect? At eighteen thousand, you can't even buy a brand-new company-labeled Gorilla Arm, only pre-owned ones, with the lowest second-hand price going for three to four thousand, but you understand the trade-off.

Lin Miao has prepared a lot for after-sales services.

[In-stock transactions, online selection, on-site wholesale, custom paint]

[Three days replacement guarantee, three months free repair warranty, three years of paid parts replacement]

[Customer service hotline, regular home visits]

In a place like Night City, offering a seven-day replacement policy is a sure way to go bankrupt, along with a two-finger thick manual, covering every little detail as if written for a brain-dead user.

Don't ask why, unless you want other companies to deliberately sue you over trivial matters.

Listen carefully to customer needs, capture customer pain points, improve customer satisfaction...

However, boasting without proof is futile, as the Sixth Street Gang won't believe it.

The big companies are also notorious for boasting, but when you actually present issues for returns or repairs, they always have a myriad of excuses to charge extra, refusing free service.

There's precedent in recorded history, at least in this neighborhood, they're even more outrageous.

But at least Lin Miao won't be like certain obscure sudden-death companies, relying on IP to exploit money even with shoddy toy production.

Cheap is one thing, but quality is another.

Reyes chose to seek a connection with the Sixth Street Gang, mainly because they are one of the few gangs in Night City with minimal reliance on cyberware.

The Sixth Street Gang regularly inspects its members for mods, and those who rely too much on mods in combat are despised by others, resulting in the lowest rate of cyberpsychosis among the various gangs in Night City.

The evaluation from other individuals isn't much different from their perspective, and they've all had a chance to wear and move around with the exoskeleton.

To accommodate different body sizes, the limbs and torso allow for a certain level of adjustment in length.

Of course, if you're of an extreme build like Pandora or Mann, then custom tailoring is needed, and the parameters will also vary.
