CHAPTER 285: CHAPTER 91: TIMED EVENT — ERO EMERGENCY RESCUE

[Wildman: Oh my! This monster was planned by a genius! High dodge, high mobility, high damage, night vision, the damn thing killed me in seconds. My prosthetic right hand was cut in half with one slash, no wind-up on its moves, couldn’t dodge at all]

[Brother Ni: Encountered the super AI, fought with all we’ve got but couldn’t defeat it]

[Bigwig: The most outrageous part is its mechanics, you know? I wanted to pull a grenade and go for a one-for-one exchange, but it actually saw through me. Damn, it slashed my hand and threw my grenade far away. @Potato with no neck, it’s all because of you. You created a damn overpowered BOSS]

[Potato: Stop blaming me! Constantly blaming people, it’s called science! Definitely, you woke the BOSS up by shouting too loud]

The Wildman squad’s encounter surprised the other players greatly

[Expert: Ah Zhe... Aren’t you guys the highest-level players? How could you get killed so easily?]

[Sealing Sword: Maybe the BOSS entered phase two and went berserk, didn’t react well?]

[Hafke Super Grandma: Is it possible that they didn’t encounter the BOSS but got trashed by a roadside mini-monster? (haha)]

[Bigwig: A minor issue occurred; the first monster we ran into during exploration had slightly exaggerated stats]

[Brother Ni: More than slightly! We didn’t touch them even once; the damn thing dodged bullets, and our four guns didn’t hit at all.]

[Plus, this monster is unlike the others, previous battles were flat, and this one ignores terrain, walks on ceilings, walls, it’s all pitch black, didn’t even know how we died]

[Resident: Good thing I didn’t go with you guys, otherwise I’d have been cursed too]

At this moment, Brother Dao, who had gone offline earlier, suddenly posted some pictures on the forum

[Brother Dao: Hehe, is this what you guys are talking about? [images][images] We dug you out from a cesspool, don’t thank me.]

Among the pictures, besides the Wildman’s team soaked in sewage, there was a cyborg they instantly recognized as the one who slaughtered them.

[Wildman: !!! You guys took down the BOSS? How did you do it?]

It’s not ego; this BOSS was purely a stat monster; they didn’t even figure out the mechanics before being crushed, how could Brother Dao’s team, with lower levels and skills, defeat the BOSS?

[Poor Soldier: We invited Wind Spirit Moon Shadow’s ancestor; one move and the BOSS was gone]

[Shui Yue: Just went to collect your bodies; the BOSS was long dead by the master’s solo kill; didn’t need our intervention.]

[Poor Soldier: Geez, I didn’t even get a chance to show off]

[Bigwig: Is Lucy’s mentor really that impressive? Didn’t she need a BOSS to rescue her from Phoenix Club earlier? This monster could probably kill the Phoenix Club Tiger Claw Gang like they’re pets.]

[Brother Dao: Do you understand plot kill? Perhaps you also encountered plot kill this time; our teams faced no monsters along the way, just Sword Saint who found a group of homeless people living in the sewers, wearing only one piece of clothing, nothing else, and gave them his food rations]

[Brother Ni: Could it be a BUG? Even if it’s a BOSS plot kill, there should be some performance or hint, not immediately slaughtering us like this]

[Wildman: Ah! With such powerful mentors, when will us warrior players get one? Turns out hackers are the solution for this version, jealous of one-on-one mentoring!]

[Hu Lang: Anything is possible in a dream meow, and I’m going to be a hacker too, main job hacker, sub mech engineer]

[Wow, even newbies are this impressive, already planned out their career paths so quickly?]

[Resident: Haha, prosthetic doctors have mentors now too]

[Brother Ni: Ahhhhh!! Developers, hurry up and give me my Ezio master!! I want an assassin mentor!! QAQ]

[Potato: You’re daydreaming]

Players chit-chatting on the forum soon noticed the sticky post was replaced by an official apology regarding the Wildman squad’s encounter today, and a new limited-time mission

[W: "Future Horizon" version 0.4 Sewer Monster Abnormal Release Apology Announcement]

[Dear players and reserved users, hello everyone; first, thank you for your love and support for the game]

[Due to our technical immaturity recently, leading players to encounter enemies far beyond the current version during new map exploration, and suffering major economic losses, we’ve immediately dispatched hackers to clear abnormal NPCs and recover players’ bodies. The revival time for the four deceased players will be shortened to one day, exempted from prosthetic loss, with a compensation of 2000 euro gold and a self-selected green prosthetic.]

[In the future, we’ll strive to provide the best service for players, aiming to create a realistic world]

[Appreciate everyone’s understanding and support; let’s look forward to a more perfect cyberpunk world]

[Horizon Corporation Development Team Supreme]

Compensation of 2000 euro gold + one green item adds up to nearly ten thousand.

Surpassing the rewards of a small-scale player battle settlement, in the past they might have needed to wait two days for revival time and pay gear damage fees.

This made the originally dissatisfied Wildman squad immediately cheer, other players were envious and jealous

[Red Barrel: Wow!! Such luxurious compensation, I couldn’t earn this much money even working a week!]

[Shui Yue: Please, expose more BUGs; give us some friendship fees or something]
