The Last Sentinel

[Kunpeng] Captain's Command Room.

Feng Langjuxu and Qi Tian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, amidst the blue sky and white clouds, one spaceship after another landed on the deck of the Kunpeng.

The wolf king, puffing on his cigar and exhaling smoke, asked, "How exactly are the sentries deployed?"

Qi Tian took out a notebook and said, "After the selected [Star Players] arrive at the designated meeting room, a physical examination and interview will begin immediately. Those who pass the physical examination and interview will have their DNA sample taken, and then they will be matched with the new system cheat that my senior brother has researched."

The wolf king asked, "What if they don't pass the test?"

Qi Tian said, "Inject them with the latest compound No. 5 and see if they can activate their talent attributes. If they still can't activate them, then erase their memories and return them to their original social environment."

"Hmm!" the Wolf King said, puffing on his cigar. "But I don't understand. Since the Speaker's decree is for the Human Alliance to share the rich mineral resources of the Hercules and Corona Borealis star systems with the entire Blue Star, resources enough to push the average lifespan of the current Great Xia society to the upper limit of five hundred years, or even to give each of the 1.4 billion people a mecha! How come Ye Feng's implementation has turned into the old trick of recruiting geniuses? Shouldn't it be an official announcement to all Great Xia personnel, telling them to come to their respective neighborhood committees to collect the system, gene serum, and mecha gift pack?"

Qi Tian rubbed his hands and said, "Well, my senior brother also thought about making a public announcement directly, but our resources haven't been transported back yet, have they? They're still sitting on the planets in Hercules and Corona Borealis. We haven't even received the tollbooths in the Grand Line yet. Without resources and money, how can we make a public announcement? We have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time. What we need to deal with now is the shortage of manpower: tollbooth managers in the Grand Line, resource mining personnel in Corona Borealis and Hercules, planetary governors, and so on."

The Wolf King asked, "Doesn't our Human Alliance have anyone else?"

Qi Tian said, "Senior Wolf King, you may not know this, but after Senator Hughes took over last term, Lord Zhao Donglai killed too many people. The original thirteen courts under the Sixth Supreme Council are now reduced to three. On the far side of the moon, not a single local resident was killed. This has resulted in our Human Alliance having a standard staff of 100,000, but in reality, the Human Alliance only has a little over 40,000 personnel..."

The Wolf King couldn't help but frown: "Killed so many? I remember Xiao Zhao wasn't a saint."

Qi Tian said, "Indeed, we've killed so many. And the most urgent thing now is that our Human Alliance doesn't have any professionals suitable for dealing with outer space. Our current personnel are good at performing tasks within planets, but apart from dealing with alien civilizations, they'll mostly suffer losses. We need to hire a group of professionals who frequently deal with alien civilizations. Referring to current online games, Stellaris has the most content related to it. Whether it's the management and operation of the Grand Line, the resource control of Hercules and Corona Borealis, or even interference from external civilizations, they are more suitable than our current staff."

Wolf King said with a serious expression, "Is it suitable? A bunch of gamers, suddenly asking them to deal with real-world alien bastards, won't they be scared? It's the same principle as Qin Wuyang's assassination attempt on Qin Shi Huang. Killing people in the marketplace and killing people on the battlefield are not the same thing. Is fighting aliens in a game the same as fighting aliens in real life? Isn't Ye Feng being a bit delusional?"

Qi Tian laughed and said, "My senior brother said that this game called 'Stars' has another name."

The Wolf King asked, "What's your alias?"

Qi Tiandao said, "【Interstellar War Criminal Simulator】."

As he spoke, Qi Tian raised his hand and opened a screen in front of him, showing a group of newly arrived Star Players conducting an open beta test.

The Kunpeng AI female voice said, "Your Excellency Captain Wolf King, Commander of the Mech Base, Lord Qitian, a loyalty test is currently underway. The test content is the core tenet of the Human Alliance, the chapter on 'Human Supremacy.' The AI ​​will monitor the heartbeat pulse, cerebral cortex cells, and more than 157 other basic physical activity indicators of each test subject throughout the process to test the strength of their loyalty."

On the screen, Pangu's deep voice came through, "Admit it, you simply cannot stand those grotesque aliens; they are different from us. You cannot tolerate the disrespect shown to corpses. Today he eats your family's bodies, tomorrow he will eat you..."

Pangu's deep voice echoed through the vast test ship room. The players were initially bewildered, but then their pupils suddenly ignited like dormant volcanoes, and their faces lit up with ecstasy. Their eyes shone with a comfortable, familiar, and confident light of returning to their home turf. They silently followed Pangu's words, reciting them repeatedly.

Simply put, this content is as familiar to Stellaris players as the background music!

They can recite it backwards with their eyes closed!

And here they actually use their familiar, exclusive star-studded background music to test themselves.

At this moment, in this scene, it's as if Pan Jinlian were to launch a surprise attack on Ximen Qing, and they were a perfect match!

The voices of the numerous star players grew louder and more impassioned as they recited: "Listen, fellow countrymen! It's time to heed the call of our ancestors!"

"Activate the war treaty and dispatch the human legion!"

"We will fight wherever the universe needs us!"

"We fight for the future of humanity, even if it means burning down the stars and destroying the galaxy!"

"Declare war on all alien races that intend to resist!"

"We will fight in hyperspace, we will fight at Lagrange points, we will fight wherever necessary!"

"Tell them!"

"We don't care how many ships they have, our fleet will blot out the sky!!"

On the screen, all the StarCraft players were in their respective nutrient tanks, waving their arms in the nutrient solution, their veins bulging with excitement, their eyes filled with a strong killing intent, and their hatred for the heretics and the urge to kill almost overflowed the display.

Wolf King looked at the statistics AI section.

Heretical fighting will test: strong or insane, 100% excellent!

Human loyalty test: Extremely loyal, bordering on blind loyalty, 100% excellent!

Virginity test: None, 0%!

……

Among the various testing sections, the willpower report of the Star Players is nothing short of phenomenal, with almost all the important values ​​displayed at the top!

Such a strong, almost insane, heretical killing intent is rare even among the Human Alliance!

It's hard to imagine how much betrayal and hurt these players have experienced deep down to have this kind of cathartic, exhilarating feeling of killing first!

Qi Tian laughed, "Senior Wolf King, how is it?"

Wolf King gasped. "It truly surprised me. Their fighting spirit was astonishingly strong in the face of the holographic pod's detection. I find it hard not to suspect that they aren't Stellaris players at all, but rather Star Wars veterans dug from their graves. Judging from their strong racist tendencies and their wartime purging impulse that doesn't regard heretics as human beings, these guys are the most vicious interstellar war criminals!"

Qi Tiandao said, "This is just the top ten guilds in the [Stellaris] game, with two thousand members. There are at least one hundred thousand more outstanding young people like this in the entire [Stellaris] game!"

The Wolf King waved his hand and said, "One hundred thousand is too few. We need to submit a proposal to the council to promote the [Stellaris] content and increase the number of players to at least one hundred million! We need at least one hundred million such outstanding up-and-coming players to deal with those alien bastards!"

Qi Tian nodded, "Yes, I'll go and draft the proposal right away."

"Hmm!" said the Wolf King, "The sooner the better. It would be best to get the military to cooperate as well. With the discipline of the army combined with the environment of the stars, tsk tsk, these beasts in the Milky Way will soon welcome their strictest but kindest father!"
