"Interstellar workers, interstellar immigrants, genetic modification..."
The day after the "steel behemoth" appeared over Country H, Mingmei looked at the ubiquitous information on her phone and computer about space pirates and the beautiful traps woven for them by the internet giants of this planet, and sneered repeatedly.
Didn't you see the reticence shown by the news and television regarding this matter in Country H?
However, it seems that the authorities can no longer block these messages.
These "sugar-coated bullets" went to great lengths to portray the alien visitors as friendly.
The videos and pictures circulating online, sent from overseas websites by circumventing internet censorship, and the numerous errors and inconsistencies in the statements made by this extraterrestrial visitor, are still believed by countless people.
The internet is going crazy over it, with everyone wanting to sign up.
There were even incidents of overcrowding, brawls, and shootings with their national characteristic wooden guns at that so-called registration point.
It's all about vying for that one spot.
【These space pirates are repeat offenders.】 Gui Gui's conclusion surprised Ming Mei slightly.
"What? Space pirates are divided into repeat offenders and non-repeat offenders?"
Yes, based on numerous cases concerning space pirates adjudicated by the Interstellar Court, their methods have been summarized. Some seasoned space pirates typically employ slightly milder methods than novice pirates, though this is not a significant difference.
Mingmei: "What are you implying?"
"In other words, if nobody believes these lies, they'll resort to force," Gui Gui said. "But speaking of which, the population of Ancient Blue Star is really huge, more than many planets in interstellar space."
Gui Gui also knows the history of the ancient Blue Star. At its peak, the population of this planet was more than double the current four billion.
However, this current population size is not something that other planets can easily achieve.
"So, you've been targeted by space pirates for your abundant human resources, haven't you?" Mingmei put down her phone, feeling a tightness in her chest. That sense of frustration and powerlessness made her start to think about the meaning of her selling boxed lunches in this game.
Was it just to help them survive the pirate invasion and escape from the Zerg?
Many of them were chasing and fighting the Zerg in the last game, but this game is the complete opposite. All they can do now is think about how to survive.
[Host, you must understand that, to this day... aside from its population resources, Ancient Blue Star truly has nothing else to offer.]
The story of Guigui is not so straightforward. There are no space pirates or insectoids on this planet. It is constantly exploited and polluted, and humanity may eventually perish on its own.
...
"Mom, about this space colonization, how about... how about we go together?"
When Zhen Po said this to the mother she was playing, she tried her best to appear less nervous.
He's not a liar.
Knowing the history, Zhen Po naturally knew that only by entering the trap could she have a chance of survival.
Although his mother in the game looked completely different from his real mother, Zhen Bo couldn't deny the genuine care and love she had shown him over the years. This wasn't the first time Zhen Bo had cursed the game designers in his heart.
The emotions of the characters in this story are so real.
It was so real that he couldn't completely sever his relationship with the player from that of the NPC!
He could simply register himself when the registration opens up online.
"Oh dear, I'm already so old, why would I go to an alien planet?"
The woman briefly reheated the food she had brought back from the community canteen in the kitchen, then turned away without looking back, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy.
"Honestly, when I was a kid I used to wonder what aliens were like, but when I actually saw one, I stopped thinking about it. I have no interest in going to outer space."
"Go and see what's outside. It might be even more beautiful, the water better, the air fresher, and the living environment much better." Seeing that the other person refused without even thinking, Zhen Po became a little anxious and listed all the advantages she could.
"That's not necessarily true. Who says their environment is better after technological advancements? What if everyone has different aesthetic tastes, or I'm not used to their environment and climate?"
The woman spoke eloquently, then, as if remembering something, she added, "If their technology is really that advanced, could they help improve our environment? Oh, that way I wouldn't have to worry about my retirement!"
The woman smiled, the corners of her eyes still bearing the marks of time. She turned and brought in the reheated food, glancing up at the clock on the wall. Just as the minute hand pointed to 12, the sound of a key being inserted into the door rang out precisely on time.
Before Zhen Po could figure out how to persuade the other party about their rejection, he saw his mother's smile widen. She put down the food in her hands and looked at the middle-aged man who was returning home in the wind and snow.
"Oh dear, the snow outside is even heavier today. There's no sunlight at all. I almost slipped and fell in the snow on my way back."
The man immediately noticed his wife's smile, and his own face, bearing the marks of time, broke into a wide grin.
Zhen Po stood there, stunned, watching the interaction between the two. Memories from her very early childhood gradually resurfaced. When she was very young, her mother seemed to be in a similar situation.
She greeted her father, who was returning from the army, with a beaming smile.
After her father's sacrifice when she was young, Zhen Po rarely saw her mother show the same sweet, gentle smile that the mother in the game had.
More often than not, they present a bold and forthright persona...
Seeing how well the NPCs got along, the memories pulled her back to reality, and Zhen Po stood there and called out "Dad".
