Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chapter 383 - 123: Cyber Monitoring and the Voodoo Gang

"Brigitte."Just waking up from the deep dive, Brigitte removed the connector from the back of her head and heard someone calling her name.

"Placid, what’s up?"

No matter how many times she saw him, Brigitte was always speechless at Placid’s build.

She’d seen hackers

But not a hacker with muscles. is a money pit; maintaining servers costs a fortune, and Brigitte plans to expand it.

To avoid detection by the Internet Supervisor, everything goes through Dogtown smuggling, which costs even more.

Where’s the money to waste on underlings?

Brigitte patted Placid’s shoulder

"You need to understand, we’re undertaking a project beneficial to all Haitian compatriots, a little patience is necessary."

"..."

Placid closed his mouth.

He initially wanted to suggest gathering funds to form a security maintenance team, improve security, and have the Voodoo Gang invest in small stalls and bars, creating some livelihood for the people below.

But it seemed Brigitte wasn’t going to spare that money.

His idea could be called naive and childish.

Standing in a cesspool, with the stinkiest excrement beside him, he dreamt of carving out a clean piece through the Voodoo Gang.

It was a pipe dream.

Just look at the players’ current chaos, with five or six hundred dead, all for a reputation forged in blood until the troublemakers dared not cause any more trouble.

Moreover, not everyone is willing to consider the long-term; gangs and mercenaries exemplify living for the moment, seeking short-term gains through swift-return profit models. The Tiger Claw Gang’s store management is an outlier among gangs.

Of course, this wasn’t Brigitte’s first time rejecting Placid’s funding request; both should be used to this response by now. If Placid hadn’t been to Santo Domingo, he’d just feel bad for a while and go back to his routine.

But this time, he couldn’t stand by and watch his fellow Haitians die in pain.

"I understand."

With an expressionless face, he turned and left after saying that.

Brigitte didn’t notice the odd tone in his voice, nor did it cross her mind that as soon as he left the room, he contacted Lin Miao.

"Hello, Mr. Placid, is there anything I can help you with?"

"I need a batch of medicine..." Placid was somewhat unsure if what he was doing was right, filled with anxiety inside.

"No problem." Even before Placid could read out the list of medicines, Lin Miao readily agreed to his request, even adding, "If you need, I can arrange for a team of intern doctors to come for free consultations."
