Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chapter 88: Sewer Mermaid



Man Tou was dumbfounded looking at the four players bring back four so-called floating engines.

"Where did you even get these things?"

Resident: "From a floating car shot down at the junkyard, but one seems to be broken, not sure if it can still be used. Anyway, can you fix it?"

"Stop dreaming." Man Tou felt utterly helpless, "I only know a bit about mechanics, I'm not a miracle worker. I know nothing about aerodynamics; how could I possibly fix this type of thing?"

She realized over the past few days that behind this game team there must be a massive physics lab and a team of scholars, able to replicate most physical laws here. But this kind of thing, clearly beyond her capability, left her stumped.

"Ah..." The players exchanged glances and sighed, it really wasn't that easy.

They were hoping if these could be repaired, they could have their own floating car?

Money issues could take a backseat; showing off was more important.

Resident: "Forget it, selling at the shop could still fetch twenty-five grand; everyone gets a share, right?"

When Lin Miao learned the new players brought back three and a half floating engines, he was quite pleased. Though these little things aren't worth much money, they're troublesome to buy. In the future, they might serve some purpose, so knowing Man Tou can't handle them, he candidly paid up.

For the small players, this certainly deserved some celebration. After all, for those just starting out, this sum was a small fortune, not only hastening modification efforts but also aiding in future career planning.

But....

"Um... hehe...." The resident stood shyly in front of Lin Miao like a bashful maiden, clearly having something to ask him.

"What is it?"

"Boss, I think if we want to expand our firm, then we must develop comprehensively, without any weaknesses..."

"Huh?"

Lin Miao was taken aback by these words.

What does this mean?

He continued to listen to the explanation.

"You see, we currently have chemical and military industry, so equipment is not a problem. But without a logistics medical department, how can it work? In the city, they can't keep spending at ERO, right? Plus, if a battlefield medic were available, they could help treat wounds, as they say, 'Waste not, want not.' How can you fight a group battle without a healer?"

"...."

Lin Miao had thought about it before; once he takes over ERO, the firm will naturally have a medical department. But he patiently listened to the resident say

"I think we can totally have Miss Gloria be this medical mentor, let her teach our doctors skills related to medicine. For example, I think I'd be perfect for the field medic profession."

Doctor?

He never expected players to want to develop in this direction now.

Resident.....

This term was somewhat unfamiliar to Lin Miao, but he could tell this small player must have relevant professional experience in reality, otherwise, they wouldn't suddenly want to venture into this field.

Of course, if this guy wants to start from scratch, even an introduction alone is enough to torment the player. Without interest, it would be purely self-torture.

"Hmm...."

Lin Miao pondered for a moment and then said

"I think what you said makes sense, so I'll give you an internship opportunity to learn emergency medical treatment and prosthetic repair from ERO's emergency workers. But there's certainly a cost, as you'd be hindering their work."

[Hidden Career Task: Basic Doctor's Internship Report]

[Task Introduction: In Night City, a prosthetic doctor is an enviable career—wealthy, with deep connections. But obtaining a legitimate medical practice license is incredibly difficult. Every prosthetic doctor has an unknown, deep background and arduous journey. Will you be the next?]

[Task Tip: Congratulations on triggering the non-combat career transition task—prosthetic doctor. Just gain Miss Gloria's approval and pass the exam to obtain a prosthetic doctor's practice license (optional). Otherwise, practicing without a license will be seen as illegal, with a chance of being reported by others.]

[Task Requirement: Because your internship will affect ERO employees' normal work, a tuition fee of 2000 Euro Gold is required, and you must pass a Basic Human Anatomy Test]

[Task Reward: Become a [Basic Prosthetic Doctor], and if you pass the exam, you can also obtain a medical practice license]

Woohoo, takeoff!

Upon receiving the hidden task, the resident cheered, dancing in place.

Originally reserved due to various factors in reality, they now didn't care about any restrictions in the game world, even if it meant going streaking. As long as the system didn't prohibit it, they would do it.

As for the 2000 Euro Gold, Lin Miao set this as a threshold for the players, lest they act impulsively and trouble Gloria.

Having just earned some money, even after sharing a few thousand with the new players, the resident still had over twenty thousand, making them quite wealthy.

Letting players become ERO's interns...

Lin Miao rubbed his chin. As more players entered the city, perhaps it was time to intervene with ERO's stock price and push the plan to the second stage.

After all, company stock prices are not only influenced by normal market fluctuations and internal company issues but also sometimes by open suppression from vastly unequal peer companies.

Sometimes, open suppression from same-tier companies can result in a reverse stock price increase effect..
