This game is so weird!

"Beep! Commander, we have detected cases of workers drowning or being swallowed by marine life during their work."

"Some people left messages on the human resources exchange platform: they need a personal information UI interface and they need an operation tutorial."

"Based on observation, this batch of workers has poor work skills. It is recommended to purchase relevant modules to upgrade their skills so that they can complete basic tasks."

Li Ang hadn't been napping for long when he was woken up by a notification sound from the base. Although it was his own arrangement, he was still a little annoyed.

"Funny face, we should show some respect to our Palu... laborers, they work hard to support our families!"

From now on, we should call them pioneers.

"Beep! Information updated."

After correcting the base assistant's word choice, Li Ang turned his attention to player feedback, sitting in his office chair and reading player comments and death records.

"Oh dear, I died once from a creature attack, once from being eaten by a fish while fishing, once from being attacked by a crab and drowning, and four times from drowning because I forgot to pay attention to my oxygen levels while swimming."

"The vast majority of deaths are by drowning, so displaying the status is definitely necessary."

"The Empire's platform operation is too unfriendly to computer control, and there are also issues with skills training and prompts. We need to find a solution. The cost of constantly optimizing on the keyboard and mouse is probably a bottomless pit."

While pondering, Li Ang opened the Imperial Mall.

"Search, on-screen keyboard and mouse interactive worker operation assistance."

[(Deprecated) Level 1.5 Civilization General - Labor Operation Assistance Module]

Introduction: Includes 48 simple operation tutorials and information prompts for keyboard and mouse control, gamepad control, motion-sensing simulated glove control, etc., suitable for human-computer interaction assistance modules used in early civilizations.

[Intrusive System Upgrade - More Customizable Interfaces]

Introduction: ...

Emperor Penguin Technology evokes a familiar feeling of tightening one's purse strings.

Since he hadn't found a particularly suitable keyboard and mouse-based operating system, Li Ang decided to first look for skill-based auxiliary tools that could improve a player's fishing or mining abilities.

"Search, phishing assistance module."

[Intrusive System Upgrade - Phishing Module]

Description: Based on Emperor Penguin Technology's invasive system UI, this app adds fishing guidance for users, including but not limited to casting prompts, bite alerts, guidance on line reeling force and rod angle, and skin effects.

[Enhanced Module - Fishing Skills (Proficient)]

Description: Bio-carrier enhancement, imbuing the bio-carrier with fishing skills. This product represents the advanced level of skill. (Special Note: There may be conflicts with a very small number of carriers; the outcome of such conflicts is currently unclear.) — Licensed by Snotty Technology, 5 Star Coins per carrier, buyout for 2500 Star Coins.

Li Ang's vision went black for a moment. He glanced at his account balance of 150 Star Coins in the upper right corner. "Is this price something I can afford?"

Also, Emperor Penguin Technology, did you buy some featured spots? How come you're everywhere?!

No, if we keep letting them keep going like this, they'll become easy prey. We need to find a way to solve this once and for all. Other employers can't keep buying skills training materials every time, can they?

"Search, immersive labor terminal."

A line of products popped up, the first being a white, loosely fastened ring that looked like a bone conduction headphone, shaped like the letter Omega Ω.

[Standard Personal Immersive Biometric Computing Terminal]

Introduction: Produced by the Imperial Technology Department, this is a standard version of bio-computing power network access terminal technology. It offers full simulation, supports login control—you have complete control over your employees; supports computing power virtualization, allowing for node virtualization of individual biological brains, and over-issuance (limited according to Imperial standards); supports multi-node networking, enabling multiple biological nodes to form a network, significantly improving virtualization performance. —Licensed by the Imperial Technology Department, 100000 Star Coins, already enjoying Imperial policy support and price discounts.

Secondly, it's a fairly standard helmet, similar in shape to a full-coverage motorcycle helmet, with a transparent glass panel embedded in the white shell, plus a few high-tech ventilation and cooling devices.

[Lowest Price Online] Immersive Bio-Computing Terminal for Youth

Description: Produced by the Imperial Technology Department, this is an entry-level bio-computing power network terminal technology. It features 30% sensory simulation, supports login control, and supports computing power virtualization (though its expansion performance is relatively weak, suitable only for simple tasks). —Licensed by the Imperial Technology Department, unlocked for 20000 Star Coins, and already enjoying preferential pricing due to Imperial policy support.

Then came a strange pink headband published by a third-party company. Its exorbitant price made Li Ang not even bother to continue reading about the subsequent bio-vault terminal.

Special-purpose personal biometric network access terminal

Description: This is a specially designed, limited-edition terminal technology, authorized by the Imperial Technology Department, offering 1000% sensory simulation. —Authorized by Enchanting Regeneration Technology, unlocked for 300000 Star Coins. Giving you a completely new experience!

Li Ang propped his head up on the table, staring at his bank account in silence with a headache.

"I need to find a way to make some money!"

"Let's buy the cheapest one for temporary use first. It's much more versatile than fishing. Biomass has now returned to 300 units, so there shouldn't be any major problems with normal operation. Once the work efficiency is further improved, we can consider expanding the base."

Authorization has been obtained for the "Invasive Assistive Systems - Biological General" and "Invasive System Upgrade - Observation Module".

Star Coins -148, Star Coin Balance: 2.

I didn't buy much. All I had left of my ex-boyfriend's inheritance was 2 yuan, not even enough to buy an ice pop.

After all, Scarred Star is a remote star system. A box of lollipops only costs 0.2 star coins, but the shipping fee is 200 star coins.

[Update Announcement]

Dear players, in response to your feedback and the issues discovered during the testing period, we have optimized the aspects that severely impacted the gaming experience. Details are as follows:

1. Added a heads-up display for players, showing health, oxygen, hunger, thirst, and stamina. The latter three values ​​gradually decrease over time and affect maximum stamina; they must be restored through eating, drinking, and sleeping.

2. Added fishing operation guidance, which can indicate when the hook bites during gameplay. See the tutorial video for details. You can experience more detailed optimizations yourself.

3. Player dormitories are now open for check-in. Players who meet the daily biomass requirements can collect a voucher in the lobby on the first floor and then go to the dormitory at the side entrance to rest.

4. Add a temperature control system. The daytime temperature on Scarred Star is suitable, but the nighttime temperature is extremely low. It is recommended to return to the base or find a warm place to rest between 21:00 and 08:00. Frozen fish and organisms may have a lower value.

5、增加贡献值体系。每1点生物质可获得1点贡献点。复活将花费10点贡献点，运回玩家尸体可视躯体完整程度返还搬运者1-10点贡献点，更多贡献点获取方式可自行在游戏内探索。（注：基地考验任务更新为1000贡献点。）

Note: To ensure successful online update loading, updates 1 and 2 require players to return to their base, donate their bodies at the biomass harvester, and then reload for the changes to take effect. Alternatively, players can choose to spend 10 contribution points to reload and respawn at their base.

Thank you for playing, everyone! Let's happily welcome the future!
