For humanity, burn the stars.

Qin Heling squatted down and checked on the injured player.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious. Although it was pierced, it did not damage vital arteries or bones.

Qin Heling was relieved and let him get into the car. The car then automatically returned to the spaceship for immediate treatment.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing this follow-up work.

If you have to take down one of the rock-dwelling insects while fighting one, that would be a huge loss.

[Gummy Bear] hadn't bothered her until she saw that Qin Heling had free hands, then she walked over from the side.

Looking at the NPC in front of him, [Gummy Bear] scratched his head.

"Captain, I really owe you a lot just now, otherwise I probably would have been done for."

However, Qin Heling shook his head at his thanks.

Under the watchful eyes of all the players, he looked at the vehicles heading towards the spaceship in the distance and sighed softly.

"No, you should blame me instead."

"This time, we did not win."

Amidst the players' curious stares, Qin Heling said somewhat seriously:

"Although the rock-dwelling insects were driven out of the area and mining could continue, some people were injured as a result."

"If we could become stronger and provide you with truly decent weapons, then this situation could be avoided."

[Gummy Bear] didn't know how to respond, so he could only silently chase the frozen ground with his toes.

Among the onlookers, the player who said "I'm such a noob" shook his head repeatedly, responding to Qin Heling's words:

"Captain, this is not your responsibility."

"Our human unity has had a difficult start, but that cannot dampen our spirits."

The other players also realized what was happening and chimed in.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what we're working towards."

"Yeah, if we had everything, what would be the point of playing... or building anything?"

This war was started hastily; otherwise, we could have easily dealt with these bugs by exchanging points for supplies and making our own.

These kinds of games are all about seeing what kind of guy the faction leader is.

If they're difficult to please, the players won't stand for it.

On the contrary, they now think Qin Heling is quite good in every way.

Not only were they willing to risk their lives to fight alongside them, but they also cared deeply about them.

If some players previously felt that the slogan "For humanity" was too far-fetched.

Now, we can feel the authenticity and weight of this belief through Qin Heling's actions.

Qin Heling looked at the players around him, a perfectly timed smile appearing on his usually serious face.

"It's good that you have this awareness."

"What matters is the future. We need to grow up quickly, take up arms, build defenses, and defend our territory!"

As he spoke, the surrounding players all received a reminder:

Qin Heling's favorability +1

Human Alliance Reputation +1

The players, who hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise, immediately became excited, even waving their tools in response to Qin Heling's words.

Once the atmosphere had cooled down a bit, [Gummy Bear] came up and asked Qin Heling:

"Actually, Captain, I have another question."

He looked at his own body, then at Qin Heling's body.

Keep in mind that his physique is already considered outstanding among players, and those who were able to persist until the end of the battle were basically players like him.

Among the many players, strength is relatively outstanding.

From their appearance, their bodies and physiques were not much different from Qin Heling's.

However, their performances in the battle just now were quite different.

So the gummy bear asked seriously:

"Captain, I'd like to ask, why are your strength and stamina so exceptional?"

"They are not that different in terms of body shape or appearance."

Qin Heling looked at the players around her who were all looking at her with curiosity, cleared her throat, and prepared to explain to them properly.

At this moment, [I'm such a noob] and [War Correspondent] are also ready.

I wanted to record his words so I could share them with other players on the forum.

Qin Heling looked at them and pointed to her own body.

"In fact, in the past, in order to adapt to the colonization and development of outer space, human genes were optimized and developed to a certain extent on Earth."

"Both strength and endurance have been improved for longer battles in outer space."

"Of course, your figure will actually become slimmer."

Qin Heling pointed at the players, scanned them all, and said again:

"Perhaps you haven't seen the Starsea Federation yet, but you've probably heard about it from Adela, so you know something about it, right?"

The players nodded in agreement.

The Starsea Federation is also a federation primarily composed of humans, and it is said to be a very large faction.

But Qin Heling said:

"Actually, although you are all human, your genes are already different from those of the Federation's humans."

"Because the genes used to clone you are ones I brought from Earth."

Thinking of this, Qin Heling's tone became somewhat heavy as he spoke to the players:

"On that humiliating earth, it was twenty-three veterans who never gave up who carried on the hope and finally handed it into my hands."

"Therefore I fled my homeland, which had become a purgatory, to inherit this flame."

"And your genes come from them."

Seeing the subtle changes in the expressions of the players around him, Qin Heling continued:

Similarly, your genes have also been optimized to some extent.

"However, because of cloning, the development time is shorter, and gene development and expression are not as perfect."

"So you will prioritize expressing one aspect from several aspects such as strength, agility, and reaction."

The surrounding players were slightly disappointed, but [Gummy Bear] seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"Can we harness this power through training or other methods?"

Qin Heling nodded and explained to them earnestly:

"Yes, just as you think, you can gain real power after you grow up, and even develop it further."

"Besides that, there are many other ways to increase power in this sea of ​​stars."

"Of course, they often come at a price."

"For us humans, the most harmless and safest thing is naturally to arm ourselves with the power of technology."

"So our most important task now is to restart industrial production."

The players nodded in agreement, but their minds were already racing with all sorts of fantasies.

That being said, if one could have greater power, then the price wouldn't be unacceptable.

It's just a body in the game anyway, it's nothing.

Qin Heling was certainly aware of the players' general thoughts, but if he really cared that much, he wouldn't have brought it up.

After all, the power of the players is his power.
