The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 596 You call this slavery??
Xu Meng and Xiao Meng basically witnessed the entire invasion of the Plans Shrimp People.

Now, disguised as a passerby, I stand beside the giant crater created by the spaceship, watching as numerous players accept quests and diligently clean up the construction debris.

Everyone was working with great enthusiasm.

Xiao Meng was a little puzzled: "Why are they so enthusiastic about such a boring job?"

Xu Meng calmly patted her little head: "After all, it's about rebuilding a home, so it's normal to be willing to contribute."

As Xu Meng was making these polite remarks, a player pushing a cart full of gravel passed by them.

He kept muttering and cursing, "Is the development team crazy?"

"Something that could be solved with a rollback has to be moved bit by bit by us."

"You don't think cleaning up trash, moving bricks and mortar is interesting, do you?"

"Gan!"

The guy pushed his cart and walked away on his own.

—The area is so badly damaged that a road needs to be cleared manually before construction vehicles can get in.

Xiao Meng raised her head and silently gazed at Xu Meng.

“Uh…” Xu Meng was a little embarrassed. “You know, I was only responsible for the explosions; the development team was responsible for the subsequent repairs.”

"Maybe they studied civil engineering in college and thought that moving bricks and mortar was interesting..."

"Well... since everything went smoothly, let's go."

Repairing this huge crater alone is no easy task, let alone rebuilding the entire area.

This is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight.

However, just as they were about to leave, a shout came from not far away.

Before Xu Meng could hear clearly, she saw the player put down what he was doing, bring up a control panel, and start operating it.

Finally, even the players inside the giant pit put down what they were doing and started surfing the internet.

A question mark slowly appeared above Xu Meng's head.

He looked at Xiaomeng in confusion: "What's wrong with them?"

In the blink of an eye, Xiaomeng understood what was going on: "Master, they're causing you trouble."

"what?"

Following Xiaomeng's prompting, Xu Meng opened social media and immediately understood what was going on—

Everyone says that letting NPCs be abducted by aliens is extremely inhumane.

They demanded that he release the person immediately so that all the shops in Mansheng Metropolis could resume normal operations.

"Hmm..." Xu Meng hesitated for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

"Since they're in such a hurry, let's release the 'enslavement' short film ahead of schedule."

"Okay!" Xiao Meng answered crisply.

Xu Meng didn't have to worry about it; she completed the short film release for him.

The players gathered around Xu Meng's account quickly saw her response—

Plans the Shrimp: I'm Here to Enslave You!

Upon seeing the title of this short film, the players were immediately taken aback:
"Plans Shrimp People? Is that the name of those aliens?"

"What the hell? We were just joking, and you actually enslaved us?!"

"An alien 'Declaration of Enslavement'? 6!"

……

While surprised, everyone had already clicked on the short video.

The film opens in space.

The camera is positioned above the moon.

You can also vaguely see the lunar base under renovation below, with small boxes slowly moving among various white buildings.

It appears to be under construction.

The camera paused for a few seconds before slowly zooming out and backing away until it passed through a glass panel.

The interior of the spaceship and the back view of a shrimp-man appear in the center of the shot.

The audience immediately understood:
This is a Planes shrimp-man standing by the window of a spaceship, gazing at the lunar base under construction.

Then, the Plans shrimp-man turned around and revealed its true form to the camera.

The screen was instantly filled with a barrage of question marks and exclamation marks.

—The shrimp people have never appeared on the surface of the earth.

Apart from Happy Superman's team and the viewers watching his live stream, it was the first time anyone else had ever seen the Plans Shrimp Man.

It has a large head and a small body, with tentacles similar to those of a lobster and a slender waist.

Its head and neck are covered with layers of hard carapace.

It has only three fingers on each hand, all covered in layers of carapace, yet they move surprisingly nimbly. This leader of the Plans Shrimp Man looks at players worldwide through the camera, delivering a declaration of conquest with a majestic expression.

Players couldn't tell the difference in the lobster's expression, so Xu Meng added the prefix "[majestic]" before the subtitles.

"Hello, natives of this planet! We are the Plans Shrimp People."

"And I am the leader of this fleet—Ktoyo!"

"We've traveled from 4 light-years away, and we have only one purpose here—"

"That is to conquer and enslave you!"

"Although you briefly repelled one of our warships, we still have 50 more like it."

"You have no chance of winning!"

With just three opening lines, it successfully ignited the anger of all the players.

But before they could react, they heard what they cared about—

"Our damaged warships will be repaired soon."

"But your captured population will never be recovered!"

"They will toil under our slavery all their lives, until the end of their days!"

The players, who were already angry, became even angrier after hearing this.

Especially those hardcore players who spend every day in the Mansheng Metropolis and are very familiar with many NPCs, treating them like half-friends, and those "Frost and Snow Project" players who treat their virtual characters like wives, are furious!

A barrage of comments containing censored words immediately followed.

But after sending it out, I felt powerless and heartbroken for the character I loved.

Especially Hei Guang and Han Dong.

How will the young, innocent Yue Liang survive? And how will Tang Qian, a vulnerable woman, be treated so cruelly?

— Huan Yue is a little better; he makes a clear distinction: those who were captured are just characters from the "what if" scenario, while his wife is staying at home peacefully.

The face of the shrimp leader, Ktoyo, twitched almost imperceptibly.

The following subtitles provide explanations as needed:

[A cruel smile]
"Don't worry too much, they're just ahead of you."

"Soon, you too will be conquered and enslaved by our mighty army of Pronce!"

"Out of kindness, I will tell you in advance about their present and your future fate—"

With a large audience listening intently, Ktoyo said without reservation:
"From now on, you will have to work a full six hours every day!"

"They only provide three meals a day and snacks, and milk is only available in the morning."

"Lunch break is only two hours, and overtime pay is only triple!"

"After get off work, I am forced to go to the gym for an hour."

"Psychological counseling is only available one day a week."

"Bonuses are only given three times a year, and there are only two months of annual leave!"

"The cruelest thing is: you only get a raise every four months!"

"Hahahaha! [Evil laughter]"

"You will die from exhaustion!"

"do you understand?"

"This is your future destiny!"

As the Shrimp Clan leader, Ktoyo, delivered his declaration, the scene shifted intermittently, flashing glimpses of the lives of the captured NPCs.

All the popular NPCs that players care about have made an appearance.

And their lives under the enslavement of the Pranshrimp People...

That was quite pleasant!

They ate well and slept soundly at the lunar base.

They all enjoy the best medical care.

As for the so-called hard work, it's nothing more than sitting indoors and operating engineering equipment outside for construction.

The players were initially indignant, spamming comments like "[Damn it, believe it or not, I'll blow you up]".

But as Ketoyo recounted his "enslavement plans" one by one, these comments quickly disappeared.

It turned into a dense array of question marks.

By the time Ktoyo finished speaking, the direction of the comments had completely reversed.

The most liked comment has now become:

[Sir, this way!!]
(Sir, this way please!)
