CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 22: NEW DUNGEON!

Nothing happened last night, which was probably the quietest night for Lin Miao in the past couple of days. He had a peaceful sleep, and by the time he arrived at the office, the players were already working hard and enthusiastically.

Their cool-down period had just passed 16 hours, and they were eager to get back online to work, with half of the four surrounding walls completed.

Where else in the world can you find such passionate employees?

Lin Miao had been to the base of Huang Ban’s tower, where everyone looked like they had a "Simonian" face, as if everyone owed them two million bucks.

Those faces might as well have two lines written on them—hold on for another few months, hold on for a few more months and I’ll quit.

And then—Damn it, if it weren’t for this shitty salary, I would have left already.

No kidding, even those in the lowest company positions earn a starting salary of ten thousand a month, more than what an ordinary Bounty Hunter earns by risking their life, enough to cover expenses for a large family, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people fighting to get in.

Of course, their expenses are high too, with various insurance packages, Trauma Team subscriptions, high rent in the Charter Mountain area, car expenses, and cyberware maintenance, leaving little savings at the end of the month.

Unlike the diligent and hardworking players in front of Lin Miao, who expect no return?

"Boss!"

The Big Guy was the first to rush up, continuously rubbing his hands in front of Lin Miao, with a somewhat sneaky expression, resembling a fly rubbing its hands on a cake.

"The few buildings and scrap cars on the hill have been dismantled, are there any other resource points around? Or... I can drive and take people to the garbage mountain from the day before yesterday to scavenge."

Although the Big Guy himself isn’t much of a speed fiend, and the vehicle modified by Night Wanderer is nothing special, but driving with realistic physics in the game is definitely exhilarating, there aren’t even traffic cops here, you can drive however you like on the roads.

And this morning, many people on the forums were discussing game matters, with a few points agreed upon by the cloud players.

Firstly, a new map will inevitably have new tasks, possibly even hidden tasks.

Secondly, the new map has a chance of spawning monsters, which drop equipment.

Thirdly, the garbage mountain, being such a large resource point, might randomly generate treasure chests like a dungeon maze.

Without an excuse before, it’s fine, but now that the resources around the spawn point have been exhausted, isn’t it a great time to trigger new tasks?

New task!

Get!

Lin Miao looked at the excited Big Guy, and at the players in the distance gazing over with eager eyes, and he was overjoyed inside.

Hell, how could he let this lovely group of players make this run in vain?

So, Lin Miao deliberately put on a somewhat troubled expression.

"I’ve been thinking about this too, but the problem is that our current fuel supply is running low, and if we use it frequently, the camp might face an energy shortage, so..."

As soon as he said this, other than Pandora, who was guarding the computer, everyone’s eyes lit up immediately.

Could it be that a task for energy collection was about to be issued?

Lin Miao said

"So, if you need to use the vehicles, a usage fee of 100 Euros must be submitted, and the vehicle’s integrity must be ensured, and a single transport must achieve one ton of material that meets the screening criteria, no mixing allowed."

[Daily Task: Scavenging (repeatable)]

[Task eligibility requirement: 100 Euros vehicle usage fee]

[Task objective: Collect at least 1 ton of material within 5 hours and return]

[Basic Task Rewards: 100-200 Euros + 50 GP points]

[Task failure penalty: If the vehicle is lost, damaged, and irrecoverable, you must fully compensate or find a replacement vehicle until it is compensated]

What the hell!

The rewards are way too small, not even better than a newbie mainline task!

And there’s even a chance for a loss in this task?

This vehicle would cost at least several thousand at market price, how could newbie players afford to compensate?

If a vehicle goes missing, that’s at least a week’s work for nothing, liver damage territory.

The Big Guy didn’t dare say more in front of Lin Miao, and hurriedly returned to the group of players to hold a meeting.

Brother Ni: What did I say? The new map is a resource point!

The Big Guy: "I fuck, how are we supposed to handle this, isn’t the profit from this run too small? Even if you make two runs a day, it would only be 200 at most, less than half of the newbie task rewards from the previous days."

Potato: "Escort mission failure, and we still have to compensate for the vehicle loss, why does it have to be so realistic."

The veteran players were complaining, and the new players were also complaining.

New Age Lame Soldier: "What’s going on, we new players haven’t even completed a single task yet, where would we get the money to take on this task, it’s not even about compensating, we don’t even have the qualification to compensate."

Red Bucket: "Exactly, exactly, when the construction site calls for a mixer truck and pump truck, I don’t even have to pay."

And while they were complaining, Brother Ni was deep in thought, and after a moment, he lifted his head, looked at everyone and said

"I think this daily task has potential."

Brother Dao: "What potential? Is there any potential in such a losing deal?"

Brother Ni: "You weren’t in the new map mission task that one time, so you don’t know, garbage mountain resource point has monster spawns, and these monsters drop equipment, guns, cyberware, and even vehicles, so I suspect this daily task dungeon has extra drops, and the loot belongs to the players, not like last time, when everything was confiscated."

"Plus, this task should be a group dungeon, not meant for us to solo, otherwise one ton of material isn’t something one person can haul, so the 100 Euros is actually pooled money from everyone, equivalent to an entrance ticket for the dungeon, and we can use the old bringing the new approach to dive together."
