Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chromed golden skin, or some other bizarre skin colors, all sorts of eye-catching weird hairstyles and hair colors, exaggerated prosthetics... in short, the more eccentric, the better.

Compared to those people, Gloria and Lucy, who are relatively conventional, instead feel a bit invisible, but for Lin Miao, who appreciates past tastes, they are just right.

Gloria nervously wrung the hem of her skirt with her hands, her palms sweating.

"I'm... I'm embarrassed..."

Even though she was older, she seemed bashful and restrained in front of the other party.

Lin Miao looked at her, his eyes lit up.

"Where did you buy this outfit? It must have cost quite a bit, right?"

"I..." Gloria's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "If you don't like it, I'll return it right away."

Unlike Lucy, Gloria, due to various reasons, lowered her demeanor significantly in front of Lin Miao, not to mention in these high-end venues she had only heard of but never entered.

Lin Miao smiled and said, "I mean you look beautiful now, Gloria, this dress suits you." Saying this, he took the initiative to take her hand and led her to their reserved seat.

A sharp pain spread across his face. If the gazes from above could turn into swords, he would probably be diced into pieces by now.

But it doesn't matter, you can be thin-skinned about anything, except your face must be thick-skinned.

Gloria, with her hand being held, buried her head, her expression as rosy as a young girl, her breath quickening, she could only let him lead her.

After sitting down, she remained silent until Lin Miao coughed a few times as a reminder.

"Gloria, act naturally. If Kotaisky notices something, we'll lose everything."

She snapped back to reality, nodding repeatedly, sat up straight, and took a big sip of the ice water brought by the waiter to calm her rising body temperature.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Miao saw Kotaisky and his lover already seated, but since their seats were relatively far apart, they didn't notice him and Gloria. Lin Miao isn't a god and couldn't possibly have known where Kotaisky reserved his seat.

But it's okay, they still had plenty of time.

"Gloria, the day after tomorrow, my people will enter the city to do some business with the Sixth Street Gang, but I won't be able to appear then, so I want you to negotiate with them for me."

It's a lie he doesn't have time; it's to test Gloria's capabilities. He can't just keep a pretty face around.

This period, Lin Miao had been busy handling company procedures everywhere; even with Old Captain's connections, it took a lot of effort.

After all, registering a company is complicated, along with applying for patents, trademarks, registered capital, legal representatives, business scope, and the identities of players entering the city... a multitude of tasks exhausted Lin Miao.

The Sixth Street Gang's representative wanted a cut and insisted on proper documentation, so mere smuggling wouldn't cut it; not only do they need to transport exoskeleton parts but must also have company branding and invoices, all procedures must be in order.

Gloria only hesitated for a moment before her eyes became resolute.

"Can you tell me the location and the details of the transaction?"

"The location is at Coronado Farm, twenty sets of exoskeletons, and the price to the counterpart is 360K, not a penny less."

Lin Miao tossed over a chip.

"The specifics are on this. When the time comes, I'll have my people go with you. If anything happens, if there's a conflict with the Sixth Street Gang, have them hold the rear. It doesn't matter if the goods are lost, or everyone else dies, but you must come back alive, understood?"

Players can resurrect if they die, but if Gloria died, he couldn't find another to deceive and take down a medical company in the short term.

Abilities can be nurtured, but once a person dies, they're only good to cultivate mushrooms.

Gloria took the chip solemnly and said, "I understand."

Although Lin Miao meant the players could die anytime without him feeling sorry, Gloria heard it as she is more important in his mind than any goods or subordinates, and the gratitude in her heart is beyond words. She can only do her best to accomplish the task and repay him with actions. She wasn't foolish enough to think she could repay this kindness by getting into Lin Miao's bed.

"Attention, the subject is on the move."

"What's the target, the restroom?"

"No, his route will pass by your table, headed to the bar."

"That's good news, thanks, Lucy."

"Who is Lucy? Please call me Svetlana Ivanova. Sorry for interrupting your date."

"We were just discussing business; you could hear it on the public channel."

"I know."

Lucy pouted; if they weren't talking business, she might have stormed down to catch them red-handed.

The conversation between Gloria and Lin Miao was fine, yet it sounded odd to her.

Damn it, why do I always feel so helpless whenever I'm with this guy?

Lin Miao watched as Kotaisky approached, gesturing slyly to Gloria, who immediately understood and got up, nonchalantly heading towards the bar, then 'accidentally' bumping into Kotaisky.

She put on a surprised expression and, uncertainly asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Kotaisky?..."

Kotaisky, whose name was called, frowned slightly. He didn't really want to be recognized here, but when he turned, he was surprised and said,

"Oh! You're... that EMT, right? Your name is Gloria, correct?"

Then he curiously asked, "But why are you here?"

This isn't a place an EMT can afford, two months' salary might not cover the cost of a meal here.

Gloria shyly glanced back at Lin Miao sitting at the table. Lin Miao also gestured slightly.

"I... came here with him..."

"Oh, here for a date, are you?"

"...."

Originally, Kotaisky thought nothing of it, whether it was an anniversary celebration or celebration for a promotion and bonus, it was none of his business, but...

He looks quite decent, this guy.

Lin Miao shivered, "What's this look he's giving me?"

Qiwei: "Did you forget the report said he's gay?"

"Shit, didn't it say he only likes young boys?"

Lucy's mouth curved into a smirk, "Who knows, maybe he changed his preference after seeing you, 'cause you're handsome?"

Go to hell, damn it, sooner or later I'm going to deal with this gay bastard!
