What we know

The Launch Date Trailer description says the story unfolds between Nova City and the city of Lingyun in Chongxiao. On Steam, NetEase writes that one plane ticket takes the Captain back home to Chongxiao.

Ash Qi told TechRadar that the team knew it needed Chongxiao about a year into building Nova City. It is bigger than Nova City, with more advanced technology, more cultural content and large tourist attractions. NetEase says its cities draw on Shanghai, Hangzhou and Tokyo.

On the official site Chongxiao includes Weilan Lake, Bachong Pagoda, Mingpu District and Longqi Village. The Lingjing Supervisory Agency, Fubao Food and Zenith Project are local.
