For humanity, burn the stars.

The wind, carrying billions of years of cold, blows across this icy plain trodden by human footprints.

The world was a vast expanse of white, without heavy snow, but as far as the eye could see, there was only tundra.

The trio of [Senjougahara] leaned against a rock wall for a short rest.

They have been exploring the area for two hours since the spaceship landed, but have not yet found anything.

【Hitagi Senjougahara】Looked at her equipment and sighed:

"I originally thought that using the initial suit would introduce a cold value setting, but it doesn't leak air at all."

"I didn't expect it to be so generous. It's so warm, at least we shouldn't need to upgrade our equipment on this planet."

In fact, the set of equipment that Qin Heling prepared for the players was quite good, after all, he didn't want any players to be killed unexpectedly.

The cost of reviving player clones is negligible for now; what matters is the revival time.

In addition to basic protection and warmth, this equipment also has a very close-range exploration function, making it easy for players to investigate various resources.

"But what are the points actually used for? I thought they were used for equipment."

[Atomic Bomb] turned to look at him and asked curiously:

"Didn't you read the announcement before you disembarked from the spaceship?"

[Hitagi] was immediately taken aback and shook his head repeatedly.

"I didn't look at it. I was looking at the terrain below, wondering which way to go."

"I originally planned to watch it later, but I got so excited just now that I was only thinking about exploring that I completely forgot about it."

Sun Xiaochuan, who was carrying supplies, took out a nutritional paste and handed it to the other two brothers.

The game features a satiety system and a fatigue value, but these values ​​are not listed and players must rely on their own experience to determine them.

Previously, some players had fainted from hunger because they hadn't noticed this.

Adela was startled at the time. She busied herself investigating the cause for a long time and found out that he had fainted from hunger. She even took care of him personally for a while.

The player involved, instead of being proud, posted a boastful thread, which immediately aroused the indignation of other players and is now the most replied-to post.

Several players then tried to get Miss Adela's care by deliberately starving themselves, which finally led her to order them to eat and rest properly.

While squeezing the nutritional paste into his mouth and eating it, Sun Xiaochuan responded to Hei Yi:

"Ever since I started exploring (chew)... those points can be redeemed at the production window... (chew)."

After listening for a couple of sentences, [Heiyi] simply pushed [Sun Xiaochuan] aside and told him to go eat by himself.

Instead of listening to him, you might as well read the announcement yourself.

While replenishing her nutrients, [Hitagi] quickly finished reading the announcement and gained a general understanding of the situation.

[Atomic Bomb] looked at him and briefly added again:

"However, according to information obtained from Miss Adela, the production equipment was locked, restricting the manufacture of weapons."

"Although there are many items on the list, a quick glance reveals that they are all mining or production tools."

"Next, we'll most likely be doing things like mining and production."

[Hitagi] stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly:

"But what if we encounter hostile aliens in the early stages of the exploration?"

"What if we don't even need intelligent aliens, but instead encounter wild alien creatures?"

"If we can't acquire weapons, won't we be powerless to retaliate?"

"This game is so good, it would be a shame not to include a combat system, wouldn't it?"

[Atomic Bomb] shrugged. Asking him was pointless; he wasn't the planner.

Sun Xiaochuan swallowed the food in his mouth, waved his finger in the air in front of him, and shouted to the two of them:

"Oh? You guys should check the forum."

"Some people didn't even come out to explore; instead, they stayed on the spaceship to research and exchange for items."

As he spoke, both of them turned their attention away from the forum and towards the post.

The poster is still "I'm such a noob," and it's only now being posted after a long search and editing process.

Items that may be needed in the early stages of the game.

In the post, he listed things that might be useful and that seemed to be cost-effective.

For example, a geological prospector that can be redeemed with 100 points can expand the exploration range and increase the chances of finding minerals and other resources.

Alternatively, there are various small mobile devices with higher point values, starting from 200 points, which can speed up the player's exploration of the map.

Although the points requirement is not low, having these items will increase exploration efficiency and bring in more points.

Meanwhile, the "noob" also attached a larger vehicle or engineering equipment to the back, and his score instantly soared to several thousand.

【Hitagi】She began to study the pictures posted by the other party carefully.

After the first two days of tutorials, players have accumulated some points.

However, most of them are stuck in the 60-80 range, with very few going higher or lower.

In other words, there are still a few points needed before you can redeem the probe.

Whoever can achieve results quickly during this period will gain the upper hand and may be able to snowball their success.

But that doesn't mean that the players who come later will always be behind.

After all, exploration is a matter of luck; someone might be able to find an open-pit mine or other energy source using the basic detection capabilities of the protective suit.

As [Hitagi] browsed the posts, he was indeed somewhat disappointed that there were no weapons available for the time being.

But then he realized another possibility.

In fact, even if weapon manufacturing is restricted, there are still many high-energy items in the engineering field that can be easily modified into weapons with a little DIY.

Underneath the post by the "noob," many players also found some potentially useful information and shared their thoughts.

Many players, like [Hitagi], have considered DIY projects. Of course, some have also found solutions to meet their recent needs.

[Gummy Bears]: "Kids, this steel block that you can redeem for only 10 points is pretty good!"

"Based on the quality that can be redeemed with 10 points, it can be manufactured directly at the factory in a comfortable length and size."

"It obviously can't compare to high-tech gadgets, but its main advantage is its cost-effectiveness. Maybe making it into a melee weapon would help me get through the early game?"

For players, cost-effectiveness is indeed quite important in the early stages when points are scarce.

However, upon seeing the solid steel twisted into the shape of a baseball bat in the texture, the players all showed a subtle expression.

Is this guy planning to use such an adorable ID to smash the brains out of other creatures?

In fact, players have discovered some information about their own attributes in the past few days.

Like satiety and fatigue, players also possess certain untapped characteristics.

For example, even though they are all clones, some players, including [Gummy Bear], are noticeably taller and stronger.

Other players also sought their own unique characteristics in different directions, but it was clearly not that obvious.

Perhaps these game contents will gradually be revealed as we explore further.

The existing players are now thoroughly curious about this game.

Just then, Sun Xiaochuan, who was standing to the side, patted the two of them repeatedly, making muffled sobbing sounds.

The two turned to look at each other in surprise. Sun Xiaochuan finally swallowed his food and pointed ahead, shouting incredulously:

"Holy crap, there are cows!"

The two were immediately bewildered, and when they looked in the direction he was pointing, their eyes widened in surprise.

"There are cows!"

Not far ahead on the ice field, a large creature with huge spiral horns and covered in black fur was slowly passing by.
