The players cheer for more ga ti—win
Lin Miao is happy that players can generate more value—win
Night City is about to witness more thrilling street shootouts—win
It's a triple win situation.
As for soone getting hurt in the process, Lin Miao can only offer his condolences.
And that 20% off compensation coupon, as long as Lin Miao can profit, it's fine.
However, problems ensued afterward. Many workers, due to last night's chaos, are apprehensive and have handed in their resignations to Lucy.
"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider? I believe you've seen that our people will try their best to protect the workers' safety. Returning to the city might not guarantee the sa salary, and you'll work longer hours."
Lucy tried to persuade them, but many workers were determined to leave.
"Sorry... but we also have to consider our own safety. After all, it is a bit dangerous here."
Certain things have also been spreading among the workers.
It's that Horizon Corporation offended Huang Ban, and similar incidents are bound to occur frequently. No one can say for sure if continuing to work here won't lead to death in a conflict one day.
Worse still, working for Horizon Corporation could get one targeted by Huang Ban.
In the end, less than half of the original workers were willing to stay, most of them being Haitians and people from the Watson District.
"Sigh..."
After sending off the workers, Lucy lay powerlessly on the table, stretching her body.
She had stayed up all night, repelling the Chaotic Blade Association's attack, yet she couldn't feel happy at all.
Because Huang Ban's goal was achieved in another way, partially.
Not many workers dared to defy Huang Ban to work for her.
Even she could foresee that if Huang Ban's hard tactics didn't work, they would resort to soft tactics next. They could send people to threaten workers and those materials companies, prohibiting them from providing services to Horizon Corporation, and the situation would deteriorate further.
"Ah... what a nuisance."
Lucy felt that she wasn't cut out for this kind of thing; she just wanted to do so hacking stuff, and that was it.
"What should I do... If it continues like this, there's no way it will be completed on ti."
In pain, she let out a series of wails, scratching her head but unable to think of any solutions.
Even if the players' working hours were extended to 16 hours, it would be hard to fill the gap caused by the sudden decrease in workers.
"I have to grind through this ga!"
"Mambo~ Mambo~"
But when she heard the cheers from the players downstairs who were excited about increased daily ga ti, she paused.
That's right...
Lin Miao had said if she encountered sothing she couldn't solve, she should find these people and let them co up with a solution.
It's worth a try.
With a mindset to try it out, Lucy placed an order in the task system.
She suddenly had the illusion of becoming a middleman.
[Side Task: Lucy's ntor's Dilemma]
[Task Background: Due to the harassnt from the Chaotic Blade Association, the stability within the Stone Ridge Mountain town area has plumted, and workers are scared to continue working outside the city]
[Task Description: Due to the mass resignation of workers, Lucy's ntor is worried that the Stone Ridge Mountain project cannot be completed on ti. Is there any way to solve her dilemma?]
[Task Reward: An opportunity to request a hacker ntor's personal assistance with programming (purple-quality Demonic Puppet, firewall, application, etc.)]
After a night of intense battle, although the ga ti has been reset, many players still inevitably experienced [Drowsiness] and [Fatigue] debuffs, needing at least seven to eight hours of rest in the next round to fully recover.
Of course, these unavoidable debuffs from staying up all night can still be relieved with [Knife Music].
To encourage employees to minimize their personal ti for the company's benefit, previous cases provided Lin Miao with plenty of solutions.
A sleep wave chip, 8000 Euro each, allows for two hours of sleep a day to be fully refreshed, with only a negligible risk of addiction as the cost.
If you don't use the chip, you'll suffer from sleeplessness.
And a series of complications like high blood pressure, cerebral infarction, heart disease, etc.
Of course, all of this can be solved through replacing cybernetic enhancents.
As for using it or not, it's still up to the players' choice to decide.
Jing Luo in fury: "6, the NPC managent in this ga is pretty smart and dynamic. It's the first ti I've heard that a monster siege could cause NPCs to resign. Previously, the only thing that made them unhappy to strike was feeding them human at, wood shavings bread, turns out we have been too rciful."
Jing Luo shedding tears: "Sociology 3, or should we send troops to suppress them directly and then enact a new tax bill, pulling the tax rate to 100%, maxing out work hours, leaving them no ti or money to strike and rebel."
Jing Luo ecstatic: "See, that's what happens from playing so managent simulation gas."
A joke is a joke; the usual ga operations evidently won't work here, even the players themselves might not be able to stand it.
After all, it's not possible for them to make nutritional paste out of human at, sofas out of human skin, or tie the workshop and bed to one room, that's still a bit too much of a sanity drop.
Resting against the wall, Red Barrel casually picked up a stone and threw it at them
"Say sothing practical before I blast you to hell."
Do you know what this civil engineering bull despises the most?
Endless night shifts.
These bastards were rubbing salt into his wounds.
"Heh..."
Though they didn't know how they offended the big guy, they obediently sat next to Red Barrel, ready to offer their flowery words like jesters from the dieval era.
