Players Invade Cyberpunk

Awful Warrior: "Dudes, you really don't treat yourselves like human, huh? I remember last time you also turned yourselves into explosive packages and threw them out."

Big Shot: "Shut it, as long as it's effective, it's an awesome tactic! Plus, don't your Hong Kong movies love these kinds of scenes? Like when Zhang Shixiong robbed Li Ka-shing, isn't this exactly the trick he used?"

Potato: "Why do I feel we're just steps away from becoming suicide troops? Maybe next time we'll be stuffed into cannon shells and fired out directly."

Wildman: "No problem, you two just lock it in, okay? Next time something like this happens, you guys handle it, leave me out."

Big Shot: "Don't be scared, worst case through, you'll be a whole new hero in three days. The key is to be cool! Be heroic! Like my motorcycle bombing stunt last time—y'all could never learn that in a lifetime."

Brother Ni: "YYSY, indeed can't learn, but I think you two fall short compared to our new NPC big sister (Finger-tips Universe), just look at her aura, look at her vibe—scared the enemy onto the couch. How did you even think they wouldn't dare actually get physical? You've never seen the Sixth Street Gang."

Big Shot: "Come on, buddy's family deals in seafood business, okay? And it's somewhat sizable. Price changes are super normal nowadays, and only because security got better in the last two years. Back then, those fishermen staged big strikes with dozens of boats, blockading the ports, and stored heaps of explosives for blasting fish. Hundreds of gangsters from the neighboring fish market caused trouble here; that was a real grand scene. This handful is nothing much, just looks intimidating with guns."

"But in business, everyone's in it for the money, when it comes down to it, it's who's tougher. As long as you seem ruthless and fearless, the other party chickens out, you know?"

"And the task hints are so clear now, if you can't get it, then you are actually hopeless?"

Potato: "What! So you're not hopeless? Why did you have that illusion? Besides, told you all our Brother Xun carries two sets of keys when going out, which fish market in Hangzhou would dare to disrespect Brother Xun? They'd be tossed into West Lake to feed crabs, now see what 'somewhat sizable' really means?"

Big Shot: "Huang Xudong, get lost!"

Awful Warrior: "By the way, Brother Ni, what did you ask Gloria just now?"

Brother Ni: "Nothing much, just some city stuff." Brother Ni pulled out a crumpled map from his pocket, found inside Adcardo, marked all over with a marker, detailing bars, underground trade venues, middlemen's nicknames, famous mercenaries operating in the area....

"Maybe when we complete the task later, we'll have free activity time. Without a map, we'd be totally lost here, right?"

"By the way, Egyptian Beauty, where are you planning to take us?"

The questioned Beauty's eyes were fixed on the road environment, noting the locals driving recklessly, no telling what might jump out from both sides and crash the car.

"BOSS just gave a location, dunno what weird place this is, but judging from the position, it's not far from here."

The players' convoy had just entered Arroyo Industrial District, surroundings mirrored typical scenes—Huang Ban factory complex occupied nearly one quarter of Arroyo, packed with closed-off factories and logistics centers, plastered with company trademarks and their private armed forces, security squads visibly standing guard at entrances and watchtowers, alongside drones circling for patrols—ignorant folks might mistake this for a military exclusion zone.

Notably, players gaze upon these company guards armed better than NCPD officers by several grades, deploying drones, armored vehicles, robots, even hover patrol cars, and towering light power armor warriors, not to mention invisible implants, gaming-wise this belonged to the red high-threat area type.

Someone was itching to try "Hey, what do you think will happen if we burst in and start a carnage later?"

Brother Ni: "Shot dead on spot, you see how others steer clear around this company's territory? Their guns look nothing like ours, minimum level 15."

That's Huang Ban, whose renown even players only active outside the city have heard of—the political and military sway in Night City is half dominated by this transnational giant corporation, virtually ruling the skies.

Egyptian Beauty: "Game's quite generous setting up little Neon with prowess, even reversed against United States daddy, now question is which taste aligns between Horizon and Showa America Story."

Awful Warrior: "After all, it's one of the cyberpunk culture origin points, Ghost in the Shell's influence is huge, and Kabuchiko—where Phoenix Club happens—is eternally a cyberpunk staple, just a pity it's in Watson District, not open yet, otherwise a must visit."

As a cultural product from last century, belonging to Neon's economic peak era, left substantial echos in the realm of arts creation, with significant cultural works from that era reflecting Neon's shadow.

Egyptian Beauty: "As a native Jinling dude, that little Neon I'm beating for sure, once Watson opens I'm hitting Phoenix Club."

Passing Huang Ban Industrial Park.

Destination ahead, north Coronado Farm, right by Republic East Road, this path splitting northeastern Westbrook and southeastern Santo Domingo like River Chu cutting Han boundaries.
