Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chapter 349 - 112: Real or Fake? _2

That is the scent of danger.The agent’s keen senses made him immediately aware that the person in front of him had more than one life on his hands.

A formidable mercenary.

Carter didn’t think much, let the other party go in first, and then left himself.

The expert sat in Carter’s seat, reached under the bar for a touch, and pulled down a small mechanical device, crushed it, and threw it in the nearby trash can.

How many of these are there already, aren’t these people annoyed?

Ever since the conflict with the Trauma Team cooled down, agents had been coming wave after wave.

The listening and surveillance equipment dismantled could be sold by the pound.

Most were dismantled by Lin Miao, and a few were found by players.

Some even hired mercenaries planning to launch a rocket attack on the bar, but they were all repelled by the players.

And when the Wanderer showed up, the agents didn’t stop but intensified.

They even stashed equipment or advanced cyber-optics intended to scan the Wanderer, probing whether they were heavily armed, and what connection they might have with the light power armor that appeared that day.

However

Just as the expert was about to get up, a burly mercenary sat down next to him.

"A glass of brandy, with ice."he expert had seen, even more dangerous than the light power armor that almost killed him.

"Uh-huh."

Li De nodded.

"I heard Santo Domingo recently opened an interesting bar, got bored in the Watson District, so came to check it out."

"But I see so many mercenaries here, which fixer has so many gigs for you guys? How’s the pay? Would you mind an outsider like me?"

"Why would we."

The expert glanced at the other’s shotgun.

"The mission hall’s in the back, after registration you can take any gig, provided your skills meet the threshold."

"Mission hall?"

A curious term,

Do the gigs here wait for mercenaries to pick them up, instead of having fixers find acquainted mercenaries? How’s mercenary skill assured?

"What if the gig fails?"

"Failing a gig results in deducted reputation points; the higher the reputation, the higher the mission completion rate, allowing access to more difficult, higher-paying gigs."

"For example, I’m at E+, able to take on relatively easy jobs."

The expert’s gameplay focus wasn’t on taking gigs and leveling up, but on other aspects, leading to his low rank but high completion.

Li De frowned, he’d never even heard of this method before.

Lin Miao took inspiration from traditional RPG works; wasn’t this setup common in novels and comics, suited perfectly for player use.
