The Cyberpunk Wage Slave Never Gives Up

The much-anticipated cyberpunk full-immersion game, Wasteland, is about to launch.

The game promises a realistic experience, unfolding against the backdrop of a world called Nova, rife with all kinds of pollution, and slowly revealing a magnificent, uncanny landscape.

The wealthy rub shoulders amid lavish banquets, while citizens are divided into strict ranks. The powerful and famous indulge in pleasure, while refugees struggle beneath the neon lights.

Li Chu transmigrated into the game world before its launch.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was fired, saddled with massive debt, and kicked out by her landlord. Talk about a disastrous start.

Luckily, she bonded with an Achievement System. Exploring different professions would earn her the corresponding abilities.

[Current mission: Find a new job.]

[Based on your current citizen rank, we recommend:

A. Crime-scene cleaner

B. Flyer distributor for a suspicious cult

C. Disposable NPC at a massive traveling haunted house

D. Wanted criminal with a ten-yuan bounty]

[Main quest: Save the world.]

Li Chu: ...

Thanks for asking. Maybe I should just kill her and help the world get destroyed.

Not long afterward, Wasteland officially opened for testing.

Players poured in, and the game received rave reviews. The details were so realistic they were almost horrifying, making players feel as though they were truly living in another world.

At the same time, help threads were flying through the forums.

- I'm at a pharmaceutical company. If it weren't for my supervisor, I couldn't last a single day at this dog-eat-dog job, qaq

- Didn't everyone say there's a top cybernetics surgeon on Ghost Street? Where are they?

- Help! Does anyone know how to find that masked cult leader? I can't turn in the mission she gave me, aaaaa!

- Huh? This game has a resistance too? Huh? We can take down that megacorp? I'm in!!

Li Chu: That's right.

Every single one of those characters.

All! Of! Them! Are! Me!
