[Mongolian Toplaner: Where’s the BOSS! You think you can leave today without taking my head?]
Just as they were stamping their feet in frustration, angry about why it wasn’t them who died, the Glamorous Woman joined the discussion.
[Glamorous Woman: There’s more! There’s more! There’s a second announcement!]
[Limited-time Event Announcement PV]
This PV wasn’t a text announcement but a game video, featuring the familiar Bumblebee drone as the narrator, along with animated demonstrations.
Just compared to the previous cold mechanical voice, W’s tone was noticeably more cheerful and lively this time.
[W: Dear players, to enrich the gameplay, we will launch a one-week limited-time event mission in Santo Domingo in the future—ERO Fire Line Rescue]
[In this event, players will fight against those lawless bandits and rescue victims from them.]
[Event Introduction: Every day in Night City, people mysteriously disappear. The incompetent NCPD always makes excuses, and the Sixth Street Gang, which is supposed to manage the community, is also unwilling to clash with these evil forces. No one is willing to save those helpless individuals who fall into the hands of the villains! But heroic players, I believe you already know who’s responsible for this.]
[That’s right! It’s the Scavengers... and their accomplices! (Players have a small chance to play as villains, with additional rewards!)]
[This is a commission from Gloria—wagering everything as a doctor to save them!]
[Break through those crime-infested bases, rescue the poor souls kidnapped by criminals, and escort them all the way to the ERO hospital!]
[W: On the way, you might encounter attacks from the Trauma Team. Resist these mercenaries who don’t understand true medical ethics and only sell high-end memberships to patients on the operating table.]
[Players who die during the mission will be exempt from cyberware loss, and the death penalty time will be reduced to 6 hours. You can fight bravely without fear! But be careful not to harm innocent bystanders, or there will be point deductions during the post-battle settlement.]
[Mission Rewards: If the target is successfully escorted to the ERO hospital, each rescue team member will receive a 1500 Eurodollar reward. If the Trauma Team signal is not triggered, there will be an additional 500 Eurodollar reward. Also, clearing the Scavenger bases will be included in the war point settlement!]
[Mission Tip: Maybe you should visit Lucy’s mentor; you might find something useful]
Of course, Lin Miao didn’t favor one over the other, focusing only on the city and forgetting about the mountains. Players from the Stone Ridge Mountain town can also participate in this event. The rewards will certainly be less than for veteran players, but it’s absolutely safe and guaranteed.
[W: Players who do not meet the Night City map level requirement can also enter Night City temporarily as tourists, transforming into the cleanup team. After the rescue team takes away the target, clean up the post-battle ruins, take away useful materials, or gather information, capture the injured Scavengers, and escort them to the NCPD. Endless rewards await you!]
Limited-time mission... each person has a minimum of 1500. Based on previous small dungeon settlements, isn’t it easy to make four or five thousand this time?
You should know that only those big dungeons that required desperate efforts and could only be tackled once before could yield seven or eight thousand in one go, and equipment could potentially break due to maxed-out durability or be lost due to death. If you didn’t buy insurance or bind with GP at the agency, once lost, it’s really gone.
This activity, with reduced death penalties, repeatability, and no player limit, already reaching such a reward level is incredibly high.
For Lin Miao, this also means bleeding financially, as he can’t magically produce a batch of cyberware with a few lines of code. If a player’s body isn’t recovered after their death, he’ll have to pay out of pocket to replenish them.
Even if it’s not the same model, the performance and quality must be similar.
Isn’t this a get-rich-quick opportunity for players?
And the opponents are Scavenger-type guys; they have no scruples holding back and can fight to their heart’s content.
Most importantly, players actually have a chance to play as villains?
Does that mean there could be a PVP battle?
The element of fun is off the charts.
Veteran players are pondering maximizing their interests, exploring locations in advance, familiarizing themselves with the terrain, and finding the best breakthrough routes.
New players are cheering for the chance to glimpse the advanced map’s Night City scenes in advance.
Only the cloud players are still complaining in the video comments about when new testing slots will open.
[Eternal Yasuo: Where’s the 0.5 version preview? I’m asking you, where is my 0.5 version reservation slot! Do you know how I’ve been living this month? Do you know?!!!]
[Endless Healer: I know, you’ve been feeding heads in mid-lane every day.]
[Super Balloon Truth Department: In the name of the Super Earth government, I order your company to open public toilets immediately! Otherwise, our Truth Department will come to check your water meter right away!]
[Super Balloon Good Brother: Truth Department, you made a mistake. It’s open beta, not public toilet]
[Super Balloon Truth Department: Lawbreakers dare to question the Truth Department’s announcement, now arrested and jailed. Please, residents, critically assess the heretics around you and report them promptly]
In no time, the comment section piled up to several thousand floors, and this enthusiasm made Lin Miao break into a sweat.
[W: The new version content is already in development. Future testing slots will be between 300-500 and will be released in stages. Please be patient, players]
