Just suppressed it, hid it!
Night Wanderer’s consciousness space offered Pandora an excellent practice opportunity. Retrieving desired content from a near-endless sea of information is highly challenging—like a video, it’s impossible to watch from start to finish; one should constantly narrow the scope efficiently until the desired information is found.
Without substantial training, one can’t develop their own set of skills. The hacking techniques she acquired from Huang Ban in the hacker training dream aren’t complete, at least not personalized yet.
Moreover, not everyone will modify their brains into pure information storage tools, as this poses the risk of memory being stolen by other hackers, leading to memory loss or alteration.
This also leads to incomplete information retrieval from Night Wanderer’s mind; they store diverse information, some even revisit their red-light district engagements repeatedly while barely remembering crucial matters.
Furthermore, Pandora’s intensive information searching within their minds burdens them significantly.
Lin Miao, while monitoring Pandora’s life signs displayed on the computer, asked,
"Today’s exoskeleton combat performance seems great; any thoughts?"
"Uhm.... hehe," Mantou felt a bit embarrassed, thinking her creations might have led to Wildman and Natural Curl’s demise.
Reading her thoughts, Lin Miao smiled, "I’m not comforting you; the exoskeleton’s efficacy already exceeded my expectations, so no need to feel shy."
Despite several flaws, like sluggish response, difficult reloading, poor performance against advanced enemy bionics, at this price, who needs a bicycle?
"Hmm..." Mantou responded hesitantly, "I still need to think this over, though modularizing the exoskeleton, adding electric shooting and auto-reload modules might be good... but these should align with fixed arms systems, or logistics will be a nightmare..."
Still, she must consult Dad, bring in brothers for reference, which might further optimize the product...
Lin Miao’s abrupt remark shocked her,
"I’ll prepare two five-axis CNC machines and relevant production line equipment on site by this weekend, so you can prepare in advance."
"Ah? So soon?" Mantou became tense, "But I’ve only used these at school, need to program on the CNC panel, industrial modeling... I’m not confident to handle this alone..."
Lin Miao didn’t respond to that concern
"I’ll arrange personnel to help, rest assured on that front. Meanwhile, you can produce a few units, enlist Adcardo’s help, and I’ll cover the expenses...."
By the time Pandora completed her exhaustive search, it was dusk. After collecting and ensuring no data was left behind, Lin Miao ordered the execution of the nine individuals, tossing them into the biomass extractor as synthetic organ demand for biomass is significant.
The ten remaining players healed, collected bionics, dismantled damaged vehicles, and repaired destroyed defense walls—plenty to do.
On the flip side, as time progresses, players will amass wealth—and to prevent inflation, Lin Miao must increase player spending and circulation in tandem.
So far, the agency’s trading system remains a simple secondary transaction between him and players.
Perhaps it’s time to open inter-player trade and material store access, allowing players to buy desired materials for crafting and trading.
Seated at the counter, Lin Miao held the special bionic setup: Sianweistan..... Krenzikov.....
The former is a thumb-sized chip, the latter a bionic spinal column; combined, they overload the user’s nervous and muscular systems, doubling reaction and movement speeds within seconds.
Undoubtedly, a powerful combat enhancement.
But, after consideration, Lin Miao placed it on the marketplace.
Using it himself would be wasteful; although he can shut off pain, his immune system remains active, requiring immunosuppressant injections entails risks.
Players, however, needn’t fret over this; hitting their limits doesn’t bother them, after intense usage, dying is their only requisite.
[Silver Natural Curl: What’s this? A stand? The world? Before I could react, I was down—at least offer some warning, this broken game is utterly unfair! Developers! Where are you? Why hasn’t Silver’s Platinum Star awakened in me? Isn’t there a similar stand?]
[Wildman Punch: Haha, I was also KO’d by that BOSS, it must be the acceleration ability we saw at junk mountain, that BOSS just won’t trip and die.]
[Red Barrel: I’m dead again, why am I always the first to die!]
[Jianxue Nameless: Because civil engineering wretches don’t deserve this]
[Red Barrel: Biological and Environmental Materials, surely you’re worthy!]
[Jianxue Nameless: Sure, that’s why I’m dead, damn got my head shot off by those pursuing monsters, without exhausting my explosives, Brother Ni that bastard sneaked off with his level five stealth, simply CS!]
