Players Invade Cyberpunk

"It’s you! You damn [beep——], give me back my [beep——]! Do you know how I’ve been living these days? Do you know?"

Lin Miao, of course, knew.

The human body synthesized by the biological modification pod cannot feel pleasure from various drugs, and even the sexual desire is extinguished.

No drugs

No messing around

Isn’t that a death sentence for a rock musician?

Silver Hand nearly went crazy when he discovered this and refused to use that body, choosing to stay in Cyberspace instead.

Lin Miao grinned.

"That won’t do; my company’s technology is just like this. Take it or leave it. Besides, you haven’t answered my question yet: why are you here?"

"Of course, to monitor your evil plan!"

Aside from rocking, Johnny is also a hippie.

As an anarchist, he opposes anyone in power, government, or large organizations that influence many people.

Just oppose it!

He only cares about opposition and doesn’t care about what you’re doing or your policy direction.

Governments and corporations are evil demons; only freedom is real.

"To prevent you from doing anything wrong to these kids, I’ll keep an eye on you here!"

"Haha, suit yourself."

Lin Miao turned to Emmet.

"Give him a teacher’s license and pay him a normal salary every month."

"Okay, boss."

"Who cares about your filthy money!"

"This money can buy you a normal cybernetic body."

"But I must stay here and monitor you to prevent you from instilling these kids with unspeakable evil thoughts. I’m not worried about those companies; I’m stealing your funds."

Silver Hand had to admit he was being manipulated.

He heard Rogers was still alive, but without a normal human body, he wouldn’t dare face her.

The vast world and all of mankind pale in comparison to his predicament.

If the relationship deepened and she found out he couldn’t do it, Johnny would directly put a gun to his head.

Moreover, without a body, he couldn’t go to Kowloon to find Ote.

"....."

Lai Xuan’s idol image shattered, exploding on the ground.

It’s better to pretend not to know him.

Silver Hand, who saw hope, was a bit more agreeable, crossing his arms and asking.

"So, why have you brought these people to this school?"

"A visit."

"Huh."

Silver Hand looked at Lai Xuan and Knight.

"I’m not speaking for him, but the teaching methods here are quite something, at least better than the schools I attended."

I could swear you were bought off, Johnny!

After Johnny turned and ranted at the guitar enthusiasts, Emmet led the three to the higher-grade floors.

Every classroom here is personally owned by teachers, more like university lecture halls, with interiors, decorations, and facilities tailored to courses.

Standing outside a math chapel window, Knight marveled at the teacher who transformed into seventy shapes, standing beside each student, personally tutoring them.

"It’s AI."

"Yes."

"It’s not easy to find an AI specializing in mathematics in the old net."

"It’s not from the old net."

Lin Miao pointed at Lai Xuan.

"These are personality imprints from the Oracle."

He said.

"Back then, Huang Ban Sanlang used Soul Killer to murder many researchers, forcibly leaving their personality imprints in the Oracle to serve Huang Ban. After he died, I liberated these consciousnesses from the Oracle."

"In exchange, they teach students or postgraduates, and I promise them a real physical body in the future."

"But I remember you and Ote...."

"Just a trade; delayed delivery is quite normal, isn’t it?"

Lin Miao, righteously.

Just kidding, there are thousands of industry elites here. Handing them all over to Ote would be outright aiding an enemy.

He would never hand them over to Ote; Ote knew well.

"You cooperate with so many AIs?"

Lai Xuan was even more amazed.

"These personality imprints, once unrestrained, can easily evolve into rogue AIs, harming the network. You’re dancing with wolves."

He would never forget Huang Ban Sanlang’s lesson.

"But we don’t have a second choice."

Lin Miao said.

"Cyberspace is right there. Unless we plan to abandon the network completely, encountering rogue AIs will be inevitable."

"And rogue AIs are not necessarily hostile to humans. Like I said, Night City has a glaring example."

According to human definition, Delaman, who ousted its own board, is indeed a rogue AI but hasn’t harmed human society, faithfully operating a taxi company.

Can’t deny that old man is evolving further, but that’s personal pursuit.

There are many factions within AIs, those like Knight’s aiming to control humans, as well as destructive, domesticating, neutral, and do-whatever factions.

Unify any [potentially] unifiable force.

"Cyberspace will inevitably be purified, Lai Xuan. We can’t throw all the AIs on the opposition side."

"But do you have the ability to control them? I heard these AIs in the old net are like gods, capable of manipulating everything."

Richard Knight’s mouth twitched upon hearing this.

Sure, they can manipulate everything in the old net, but the one in front of you is a cold, black sun in the old net, origin place, Cyber Father.

"Believe me, I won’t do anything I’m unsure of, and in any case, they were humans too; blame only that old bastard."
