"Alright, load all four bodies onto the car, and let’s head back."
"Haha! I’ve got another [Driver LV1] skill~~"
After the players claimed their 500 euros and returned the guns to Lin Miao before logging off, he began evaluating the spoils.
This operation’s loot was indeed abundant.
To enhance the game feel, Lin Miao divided the equipment system into six levels. White and gray are mostly old and used knock-offs, newly released mainstream goods are white-green, custom or special gear is blue-purple, and only items with commemorative value reach orange or red.
The grading is easy to understand. Even guns have variations in precision and bullet power due to issues like usage period, rifling wear, manufacturing discrepancies causing sealing problems, and bullet load issues. Big company gear is definitely superior to those second-hand goods from the black market, and custom gear surpasses mainstream goods.
Cybernetic implants have even more obvious grading because their model and price differences significantly affect power and effectiveness, resulting in a wider disparity than firearms.
Take the same Sianweistan, for example, the physical acceleration varies between 20%-80%. Just now, Jensen used the trashiest one, which was quite taxing, and no one knows when he might turn into a cyberpsycho.
A modified sedan... I’ll keep it for personal use.
Two pairs of barely decent knock-off cyber eyes, probably worth marking as white gear. Let’s sell them for 1000 euros.
A matching Krenzikov with Sianweistan... seems broken, no wonder that guy just took a tumble. Without Krenzikov’s neural boost, accelerating the body alone, the nervous system simply can’t keep up.
One damaged, one gray, selling for 1500 isn’t too much.
Six cyberlimbs... gray, 600
A big cannon... toss it.
Four pairs of prosthetic lungs, heavily worn, gray, 600
Tyrosine injector... used by hackers for acceleration, white, 1200
Three rifles, one submachine gun, two handguns... going rates 400 to 800 each is about right.
Two braindance headbands? Confiscated!
Cheap cyberware in Night City is really inexpensive, priced low enough for anyone to install.
As long as you can endure the negative effects of cheap cyberware, there’s as much as you want. Issues like software version compatibility, internal viruses, hidden ICE (black ice/offensive firewall), risk of turning into cyberpsycho, whether the manufacturing company is bankrupt, availability of replacement parts...
There are tons of problems, whereas new goods at the cyberware clinics cost thousands or tens of thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands, unaffordable for ordinary people.
Some second-hand prosthetics on the market may have passed through many generations, dating back decades, and the wrist and arm might not even be the same model, don’t expect flexibility, just being able to move is the best outcome.
As for cyberpsychosis?
People who install these things lose their minds without even qualifying as cyberpsychos, directly executed by friendly neighbors or NCPD as rioters in the streets.
Lin Miao certainly wouldn’t sell them in Night City because there aren’t many buyers for these things there, but players... haha.
You say this equipment dropped from players?
Rubbish, the gun is still his. All drop items must be reclaimed by him for wealth redistribution, understand?
Four bodies recycled yielded two units of biomass, now there’s around 9 units of biomass, and the game version can be updated. Also, rally five bulls online to prepare for the oil theft in five days.
Thinking of this, Lin Miao opened the official website, ready to update the 0.2 version content, simultaneously updating the junkyard photos on the site.
[Water Is Plenty: First, thanks to Wildman and the other four players for their 0.1 beta version experience, providing significant help and establishing a solid outpost for future players, ’Agency Images’ ’Agency Images’]
[Next, we release the 0.2 beta version "On Evil Land" update content and simultaneously offer five game testing slots, adding new map ’Junkyard’, new enemy faction ’Night Wanderer’, new cyberware modification shop and vehicle system, players can earn in-game currency through jobs, completing missions, etc., to purchase bound weapons or cyberware equipment]
[In upcoming versions, we will continue to release more experience slots to reserved players, please be patient, everyone]
Even though it’s currently 5:30 AM in another world, the forum has night owls chatting away, and after the game announcement, they immediately joined the discussion with Wildman who just went offline.
[Box-loving Pandora: Interesting website.... Junkyard.... stinks]
[West Lake Aquatic Giant: You wouldn’t know, but we just battled four Night Wanderers here for three hundred rounds, only with my miraculous prowess and clever calculations did we manage to take them down one by one!]
[Potato Without Neck: You’re full of crap, first feigning death, then stealth attack with lime powder, stabbing people below with a knife, only someone like you would use such underhanded tactics.]
[West Lake Aquatic Giant: So what, as long as the tactics work, it’s all good, I’m a man who only cares about the outcome]
[Box-loving Pandora: ...agreed]
[Brother Dao: Really? Is the game’s freedom that high? You can even use lime powder and pretend to be dead for sneak attacks, also Small Reformative, why is your speech so intermittent]
