CHAPTER 501: CHAPTER 159: NEW VERSION PREVIEW_4

However, most people are still skeptical, after all, the AI-produced videos online have almost made it difficult to distinguish between true and false, even the person talking to you online might be fake, let alone this so-called realistic game that only showcases photos.

Looking at the game forum that had reached fever pitch, Lin Miao excitedly rubbed his hands and started typing on the forum.

[Version 0.6 Preview - ’Industrial Age’]

[Water Overflow: Another month has passed, and the planner has finally brought the much-anticipated new version preview.]

[I believe during the entire 0.5 closed beta version, you players should have formed a deep impression of Night City. Your activities have caused many changes in the city’s operations that even the planner didn’t foresee.]

[In this version, players altogether eliminated 52 drug production sites, captured 245 drug dealers, directly killed over nine hundred criminals and 114 gang hideouts, including the Sixth Street Gang, Tiger Claw Gang, and Vortex Gang, even crushed the Voodoo Gang wreaking havoc in Cyberspace, changed the future for the Haitians in Taiping Continent, unearthed the evil secrets buried underground in Watson District, and even gave the opportunistic Huang Ban a severe hit! Bringing a glimmer of new hope to the city’s lower-class citizens, the production team applauds this achievement.]

[There is, however, a minor regret, the originally prepared faction system was not activated by players, and most factions’ reputations were even lowered to negative values; it turns out everyone still wants to be a law-abiding citizen.]

[And in the upcoming version, we have prepared more and newer game content for the players.]

[Firstly, many have eagerly waited a month for game slots, this time we are opening up over 1500 player slots (cabbage slots) in three phases!]

[At the same time, we’ve noticed that more and more players do not prefer constant fighting; embracing an idea of comprehensive development and broad inclusivity, we are opening the ’Management Gameplay’ in version 0.6, any player with ideas can write a plan and submit it to our office NPC. If approved, you can receive investment to manage your own industry.]

[New Map: Big Sur]

[To the north of Night City, there lies a tourist haven once filled with green water and mountains, but due to years of war and environmental pollution, it no longer holds its former beauty, leaving only vast Evil Land and foul streams.]

[Thanks to Lucy’s mentor efforts, she seems to have found some technology on the old web that can purify water quality. However, it requires building a giant water plant to operate. If we can build a water plant in Big Sur, maybe we can start fixing this broken world, at least — take the first step.]

[New Version Event ’Industrial Age’]

[I believe many little buddies have already discovered we are preparing to break ground at Stone Ridge Mountain, building more factories, more production lines, laying a solid foundation for our future. This event will continue for at least one full version.]

[We need workers! Need more workers!]

[Anyone participating in this event, upon reaching the corresponding performance, can receive the ’Worker’ title, and a free set of ’Labor Suit’, along with a generous reward waiting for you!]

[New prosthetics, new weapons, new vehicles, and even... new food]

[New Version Activity: Unknown Old World]

[I believe in Taiping Continent, players have already entered Cyberspace and learned about the history of the network era’s development in the game, but I’m telling you, you’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg, the true unknown world is far scarier than you imagine.]

[Risk also represents opportunity, in the 2020 network collapse, countless companies’ technology was permanently lost in the old net, but it is simultaneously filled with numerous wandering AIs, malicious software, and viruses. Countless people covet the benefits hidden within, yet they can only look and sigh.]

[But one of you players actually cracked the hidden plot laid by the planner in the city, capturing the wandering AI body that attempted to invade reality, truly remarkable.]

[And I must say, nothing can stop a player’s curiosity.]

[Your Lucy mentor is decrypting that wandering AI, once successful, we will open the gate to the old network!]

[Do you want the treasure buried by the planner? If you do, you can have it all. Go find it! The planner placed all treasure there!]

[Set sail, the Age of Exploration!]
