For humanity, burn the stars.

As the player "I'm such a noob" reminded them, the surrounding players simultaneously looked up at the sky.

The unidentified flying object stood out conspicuously in the cloudless sky, almost like a dark cloud.

At first it was just a blurry dot, but as the distance closed, players gradually saw more details.

Judging from its movement... it seems to be some kind of creature vibrating its wings?

[Gummy Bear] released the rope holding the crew cabin and couldn't help but exclaim:

"Holy crap, is that a bird?"

"So big?"

[War Correspondent] Gazing at those enormous, constantly flapping wings, I've already activated the recording function and started filming.

As he adjusted the focus, he exclaimed in admiration:

Wow, this game is really well made.

"Flying from that far away, there's no sign of loading. Could it really be WYSIWYG, with no invisible walls at all?"

"As someone who appreciates beautiful scenery, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it."

At this moment, everyone put down what they were doing and watched the huge creature that was getting closer and closer.

The last player, whose ID was "Painkiller," looked at the new creature that seemed to be getting closer and closer in the sky.

He then glanced at the few people around him who hadn't yet realized the problem, and finally spoke:

"Hey, I said..."

"Judging from this direction, it's not coming towards us, is it?"

The players exchanged glances and finally realized what was happening.

"Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier!"

"What should we do then?"

"What else can we do? Run!"

[I'm such a noob] The first thing I did was throw the tools in my hand on the ground.

Before he finished speaking, he had already turned and rushed towards the nearest low hill.

Anyway, it doesn't snow here, so things won't get buried if left here, and I can always pick them up later.

But if you lose your life, you'll have to wait for a CD!

The other three also dropped their things and started running as fast as they could.

In the sky, the silhouette of the giant bird grew larger and larger, seemingly chasing after them.

[War Correspondent] Observing a depression in the rock wall below the low hill, he quickly shouted:

"there!"

There was a fairly large crevice recessed into the rock wall, which might provide a place to hide.

The four of them squeezed in using both hands and feet, huddled in the shadows inside the cave entrance, not daring to breathe.

The interior space was just enough for a few people to fit in, and there was still some space left between them and the entrance.

"They're safe now, for the time being..."

"Don't pretend to be a narrator and make jokes at times like this!"

Through the cracks in the rocks, they saw the enormous creature slowly descending to the ground.

When they saw the creature in its entirety, everyone held their breath, afraid of being exposed.

Because it was a giant bird that was over three meters tall when standing on the ground.

And its wingspan is even more terrifying.

To soar in this cold world with little natural wind, its wingspan may have reached a terrifying ten meters.

Its feathers are jet black, without a single blemish.

But the face is covered by a flat, hard structure, like a pale mask, with empty eyes scanning the surroundings.

The insect-like mouthparts open and close from side to side, with fine serrated protrusions visible on the edges, clearly a structure designed to facilitate tearing apart prey.

At this moment, through the crevice in the rock, the creature scanned left and right, but did not approach the place where the group was hiding.

In short, although they were relatively close, the other party did not seem to be able to track them thanks to the cover of the rock wall.

[War Correspondent] Despite the fear, he excitedly recorded every detail of the creature before him.

In this world, it may be the ultimate predator.

"I'm such a noob," he said in the chat, staring at the creature ahead.

"This creature saw us from that far away, but when we ran right in front of it, it didn't follow?"

[Painkiller] shook its head and silently responded:

"This is a completely different planet. You can't judge birds by Earth standards; their eyesight isn't necessarily that good."

"Who knows how it tracks its prey?"

Or perhaps it's like an FPS player, with maxed-out dynamic vision but zero static vision?

[Gummy Bear] nodded, but watched the other person's movements thoughtfully.

"Maybe, but perhaps... it didn't actually consider us its target in the first place."

"After all, we see it as a new species, and it probably finds us strange too."

"Perhaps that's why they're wary of us; they might just be observing us along the way."

"Since it hasn't spotted us yet, it proves hiding is effective. Let's stop moving."

The group all expressed their agreement and then waited quietly.

Time ticked by. The enormous bird-like creature had also lost its patience.

It flapped its wings again, stirring up a gust of wind, and finally continued flying into the distance.

"I'm such a noob," I said, frowning slightly as I watched the direction it flew off to.

"This guy doesn't seem to actually see us as a target."

"But... looking in that direction, it seems to be the direction of the spaceship?"

[Painkiller] was startled and asked again:

"Huh? Should we inform the captain?"

"I thought the action could lead to the extinction of humanity? We don't want our base to be raided."

"I'm such a noob," he shook his head repeatedly, saying disdainfully.

"Hmm... I feel like I probably don't need to."

"The spaceship definitely has its own protection. It's not some kind of space creature. Carbon-based life forms on a mere planet pose no threat whatsoever."

Once everyone was sure the giant bird had flown away, they breathed a sigh of relief and came out.

[Little Gummy Bear] patted his chest, still shaken, and said:

"This game is really well made, but it's a bit too realistic."

"When it landed just now, I felt like I was being watched by a wild beast, and I almost thought I was going to die."

Thinking of something, he chuckled twice and continued:

"I reckon my girlfriend would love this kind of world-exploration."

"I also made a reservation for her back then, but I don't know when she will be able to get into the game."

[Painkiller] She suddenly turned around and looked at him.

"There are actually female players in this kind of game? And you actually found one?"

[Gummy Bear] shrugged and calmly replied:

"Of course there are female players, what's so strange about that? I'm a female player myself."

The crowd's expressions immediately turned strange as they looked at the body that was a head taller and more muscular than theirs.

The war correspondent swallowed hard and asked cautiously:

"Excuse me for asking, but I remember this game doesn't allow you to choose a gender different from your own, right?"

"And it seems like our batch only has male characters..."

[The gummy bear] nodded and responded affirmatively:

"Yes, because my biological sex is male, but my psychological sex is female."

"I'm such a noob," I stared at him, wide-eyed and incredulous.

"So... what's the gender of your 'girlfriend'?"

The gummy bears responded naturally:

"Oh, she's a woman too."

"Because, coincidentally, I'm also a lesbian."

The three people around him were now gaping, wondering if this guy was speaking the same language as them.

I never knew Chinese could be arranged and combined like this!

It's a bit too advanced; the process is all wrong, but the result is all right.

Seeing their expressions, [Gummy Bear] chuckled.

"Haha, just kidding, you guys actually believed it."

He looked at the war correspondent and asked in return:

"By the way, you're quite the inquisitive one, you have a paparazzi vibe. Are you actually a reporter?"

The war correspondent didn't shy away from the topic, scratching his head and chuckling.

"There's no other way, I studied journalism."

Regardless, after the gummy bear finished explaining, the three people around him felt relieved.

Luckily, this guy is also a freak, otherwise if it really happened to someone close to me... it would be too outrageous.
