This game is so weird!

After making simple arrangements for Ditto and having Rotom deliver some synthetic meat patties to it via drone for dinner, Leon (the exploration captain) returned to his hibernation pod in the staff dormitory, lay down, and entered hibernation.

At the same time, in the command room of the pioneering base.

Li Ang's original body woke up.

After rushing to the bathroom and drinking a glass of water, Li Ang slumped behind his desk and let out a long sigh.

They came back to life—

This helmet is pretty strange. It didn't react much while I was using it, but when I woke up I was thirsty and needed to pee...

I wasn't mentally tired; on the contrary, I felt energetic, as if I had had a good night's sleep. The only physical discomfort was that I felt like I had taken a long nap.

After lying down for a while, Li Ang, who had recovered considerably, sat up straight in front of the computer terminal.

Although he knew that the thing in the base terminal wasn't a computer, it looked like one and functioned like one, so Li Ang just called it that.

"Next, all that's left is for the players to pretend."

Li Ang touched his chin with his thumb and forefinger together, and then, as planned, started searching for employee recruitment pages.

Player disguise (incomplete)

Of the three major aspects of the previously planned inspection, only the players are missing now.

You can't just land on Z and find that you haven't hired a single person on Creation Star, but a bunch of exploration teams and other employees are doing your work.

Upon closer inspection, oh? How did you come up with this employee employment contract for your 343 Development Base?

What's going on with this newly registered human resources company?

Holy crap! I want those outrageous contract terms too... wait, are they even legal?!

They'll seize it and send you to a biological brain prison to be soaked in culture medium and serve a ten-year prison sentence.

Therefore, Li Ang had previously planned to hire a group of employees from the empire's subordinate forces to blend in with the real thing.

The truly wise live in seclusion amidst the city!

Taking a break to update is not out of the question, but it's unnecessary.

Firstly, it would affect the player experience. Li Ang considered himself a fairly good game provider and didn't want to interrupt the players' gameplay for this reason.

Secondly, why is your base so empty, and why are a bunch of biological carriers frozen in hibernation chambers? Did the Pioneer Corporation give its employees a vacation in preparation for the upcoming launch?

Just thinking about it brings up a whole host of problems.

Moreover, with the Brave New World project, which has finally established a base, on the right track, Li Ang is looking forward to the players' hard work in developing this planet so that he can achieve financial freedom as soon as possible with the public beta launch.

Don't even think about dying midway through your life!

Thus, this employee recruitment plan came about, which also helps to enhance the players' sense of immersion and situational experience.

As for recruiting subordinate forces of the empire, it was entirely for safety reasons; Li Ang specifically chose a human resources company under a minor force.

These people are definitely easier to fool than the Imperials.

For these reasons, Li Ang quickly added several filter criteria to the webpage and clicked "Search".

Hundreds of pages of job postings appeared on the screen.

I did a quick search for chefs, exploration experts, researchers, and exploration teams, and then sorted them by experience and reviews.

After some deliberation, the decision was made to recruit one chef and one researcher, who would be responsible for exploring the base's unopened restaurant and research lab, respectively.

Li Ang had been agonizing over the restaurant issue for a long time, and now he naturally wanted to resolve it as soon as possible. After all, good food and women were the two things he could never let down.

As for the researcher, it was because Li Ang discovered that the creation machine seemed to have some hidden limitations, and he wanted to find a more professional person to explain it in detail, who could also help him out. After all, he didn't want to sit in the research lab 24 hours a day working on projects, so finding a researcher was undoubtedly a win-win solution to prevent such cutting-edge technology from going to waste.

Of course, you need to find a younger researcher who is obedient, passionate, and less likely to cause problems.

In addition, we will recruit one more expert with experience in exploring guild operations to assist Xiaomeng and Xiaoshuai, the exploration base receptionists who have been doing a good job recently, in organizing exploration teams and providing professional services to players.

There are also three exploration teams, each with 3 members and 1 captain.

There are established exploration teams available on talent websites that can be hired directly, eliminating the need for Li Ang to coordinate and assemble them, which saves a lot of trouble.

As for the potential for cliques within established teams, Li Ang doesn't think it's a big problem.

It's just meant to be a facade, and incidentally provide players with emotional value and a sense of immersion; how much performance it generates doesn't really matter.

If they really mess things up, you can give them some dangerous missions and have the players do a timed rescue.

Based on the above principles, Li Ang chose an experienced and mature middle-aged team as the core, which the website rated as a silver-level star trail exploration team. The other two teams were bronze-level teams composed of a group of young male and female students who had just come of age, one called the Firefly Team and the other called the Rookie Vanguard Team.

In addition, the chef is Pamela, a female chef from the Gourmet Planet who is said to have a diamond chef apprenticeship.

The exploration expert is an old man who seems to have a lot of stories to tell. According to the platform's information, he was the captain of a diamond exploration team when he was young. After the team was disbanded due to an accident, he switched to guild management and was highly regarded. He also has a lot of experience in exploring guilds in emerging bases. Recently, he retired due to the rise of local planetary biological computing power and digital humans.

With these people in place, the basic functions of the exploration base have been completed.

The optimized exploration guild issues quests and provides rewards; restaurants and shops provide services and upgrades, consuming funds. This ultimately forms a simple internal loop.

The researchers couldn't find suitable members to hire, either because they were too experienced and too expensive.

Either Li Ang thought it was outrageous, as the research direction and experience included things like third sexual orientation conversion, human gene atavism, and the development of perpetual motion machines, and he felt that hiring such people would disrupt the social stability of the base.

Just then, the page suddenly refreshed.

After filtering the prices, a card with a gold border suddenly popped up from the remaining black, yellow, and blue researcher cards.

Li Ang rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things and mistaking the yellow card for gold, then quickly clicked to open the information of the gold researcher.

[Gold-level Researcher - Vera Tesla]

Research experience: 6 years

[Research Projects: High-Energy Death Ray Thawing System, Mass Production Solution for High-Risk Organisms, Research on Advanced Intelligent Life...]

[Employment Requirements: Establishment of a research base, independent research lab, and autonomy in research outside of working hours...]

"I've struck gold!"

Li Ang was pleasantly surprised. Such a talented researcher could be hired for 3 years for the price of a Bronze Researcher. What a steal!

Upon closer inspection, nothing seemed amiss, and the platform didn't display any warning signs, indicating that this person had no criminal record or history of wrongdoing—it was practically perfect.

Since there weren't any suitable candidates at the moment, Li Ang didn't hesitate to hire an employee and scheduled the next available interview time.

With this, the exploration base has all the necessary foundations. Regarding the missing medical resources, Li Ang plans to prioritize researching a universal healing device and a portable medical kit once the researchers are in place. Later, he plans to create one or two Pokémon with healing abilities, such as Chansey or Herba Herba, as a supplement, which should basically meet the treatment needs.

After waiting a short while, Li Ang straightened his clothes and walked to the lobby on the first floor of the development base, where he sat down to wait for the others to arrive.

The pioneering base has granted connection authorization to several newly hired employees. They can directly use the cultivation chambers in the biological cultivation room to cultivate and give birth to carriers, remotely clock in for work using the Empire's interstellar link network, and even use biological carriers they have purchased the permissions to generate their own bodies.

Before long, an elderly man dressed simply with white hair walked into the hall. His bright eyes scanned the area before locking onto Li Ang's location. He then extended his muscular right hand in a handshake gesture.

"Yue Qing, you can also call me Lao Yue."

Because Li Ang had set Chinese as the official language of the Scar Star in advance at the development base, the language was directly instilled into the memory of the employee carriers during the generation process at the base.

The old man spoke fluent Chinese without any instruction, even with a slight Beijing accent.
