Essentially, it’s just a holographic Google Maps with added animations. The whole thing lasts no more than ten minutes. After watching it two or three times and noting the details, the players quickly lost interest and turned back to the store.
Originally, this was content that would be the main focus in the next version, so this animation is really just a preview for the end of the current version.
What’s better than ready-made equipment?
"Damn, how come they’re selling four-piece sets?"
When Bro Ni saw the 100-euro four-piece set and the 50-euro mattress on the screen, his eyes almost popped out.
I know you’re genuine, but please, don’t be that genuine.
This plan is just reckless, forcing people to rent a place to live.
Look at what kind of demons and monsters are in this accommodation system?
[Employee Hostel: Are you still suffering from back and leg pains and feeling lethargic due to long journeys?
Successful people, peak residences, and scenic courtyard, enjoy the pleasure of playing while surrounded by water views
What are you waiting for? Rent your own dormitory and enjoy the game right away!]
[Accommodation System: An excellent accommodation environment allows players to recover from a day’s fatigue quickly, re-engaging in the battlefield at the fastest pace]
[Current Comfort: 0, additional playtime 0h]
Yes, the better you live, the longer you can stay in the game— theoretically, up to 16 hours; otherwise, even if you talk about the sky, you must log off after 10 hours, and you’ll get a debuff for sleeping outdoors.
And the suffix of that four-piece set and mattress bold-facedly states +5 Comfort.
What a rare opportunity! Damn it!
Initially, they thought bunk beds, a wooden bed is just a wooden bed, anyway, once you lie down, you log off. Who cares if it’s comfortable? But now, this is forcing players to buy!
Bro Ni can even imagine the game’s future featuring standalone mansions and luxury apartments. How realistic does it need to get?!
Fortunately, the planner’s imagination only reached the tropopause, not yet ascending to the stratosphere because the remaining items still looked pretty normal.
Especially eye-catching was the green suit.
[Agency Operative Uniform Set (Green): 200 euros]
[Item Description: Woven using nanogold space cotton technology, mixed with various composite fibers, it is warm and cold-resistant, radiation-proof, and cut- and corrosion-resistant, making it an essential choice for home travel and plundering]
[Employee Coat, Liner, Pants, Leather Boots, Baseball Cap, Gloves, Modular Tactical Vest, Tactical Belt]
A jet-black suit, the same as the one Lin Miao wore when they woke up from the basement that day. It had the Future Horizon game logo—a black hole—on the coat’s chest and baseball cap.
Green outfit, although it doesn’t show any attribute bonuses, non-military enthusiast players didn’t care much about that. They just knew it looked cool enough!
For players, they always pursue two values.
Namely—stats and looks
Fortunately, players didn’t have much of anything else; they completed a few missions in the past two days and had some money saved. First things first, the uniform must be acquired!
Apart from the initial four sets distributed upon completing system tasks, the rest of the uniforms naturally came with the employee dormitory, but all were confiscated by Lin Miao.
Want clothes without paying?
In the past two days, Lin Miao also frequently got goods from the old captain—second-hand guns and ammunition, grenades, and flashbangs, all fully stocked.
It was a bit unfortunate that Gloria hadn’t had the chance to get better cybernetic parts. After all, good stuff is prioritized for doctors. As a nurse, she seldom had the chance to paddle along and get excellent cyber enhancements.
Taking out these items now, Lin Miao also had his considerations.
Otherwise, letting the team see him with a bunch of guys dressed like homeless people in ill-fitting checkered shirts and shabby coats would be a loss of face.
As they say, clothes make the man. After putting on the uniform, the players’ whole aura changed. They stood more upright, and with a long gun hanging from their chests, they looked quite impressive.
Compared to the previous wasteland drifter look, it now seemed like they were employees of a security company.
At this point, five small players who had been offline for half an hour coincidentally logged back on. Seeing the new clothes everyone else had just bought, they were shocked and envious, then immediately took out their cash to buy a set for themselves.
Moreover, the clothes were generated to fit the player’s body size, even Pandora had a set of fitting employee clothes.
With this sequence of events, the players initially thinking of buying some prosthetics to arm themselves didn’t have much money left. Moreover, they heard there was a tough battle tomorrow, so the money had to be saved to buy ammunition and grenades.
For a while, everyone sighed repeatedly, only looking at the gray prosthetic parts with longing, except Pandora, who spent some money to buy a basic network access pod—Huang Ban Type 1—since it was labeled hacker-exclusive equipment.
However, just having a network access pod wasn’t enough. To become a qualified hacker, you also needed to have a deep-dive interface. With a deep-dive interface, you could enter cyberspace for information warfare and data retrieval, but such things were hardly available on the market, only circulating in the black market with prices of at least five to six thousand.
But after inserting the access pod, Pandora’s cyber-eye flashed blue, and a host of active skills along with a [Hacker LV1] passive skill appeared on her personal panel, which other players didn’t have.
[Demonic Puppet Upload]
Red Barrel saw Pandora standing there with a blank face, her cyber-eye shining like a light bulb, and thought she had crashed from overload. Hurriedly, he walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
