This game is so weird!

"Hello, Miss Anya."

Upon arriving at the residential area, Er Miao quickly searched along the road and soon spotted a young and beautiful woman dressed in COG uniform, observing the living conditions of the homeless people accompanied by two COG soldiers.

After being informed by Miley that Anya was currently the only COG female warrior in the base, Ermiao took the initiative to step forward and greet Anya.

"Hello, I am Anya Stroud, may I ask who you are?"

Looking at the unfamiliar-looking Er Miao, who was wearing the Exploration Guild's modified white combat armor, Anya asked politely.

"I'm Er Miao. I just received the office building task issued by Miss Anya and would like to discuss the specific details with you."

"I see. Thank you for accepting our mission."

Anya brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, glanced around, and pointed to the restaurant in the camp square. "Why don't we try the breakfast here and then chat?"

"Okay~"

Two dogs, who hadn't eaten breakfast yet, happily agreed. Seeing this, two cats nodded as well, and the group headed towards the nomadic restaurant.

Stirring the mixed vegetable soup in front of her, which had little to no seasoning other than salt, Er Miao found it hard to swallow. She switched to chopsticks and picked up a piece of synthetic fish fillet to eat.

The chef said it was a synthetic fish fillet made from beans, but Er Miao felt that it tasted no different from those produced by the Scar Star Base. It's probably because it has reached the ultimate level in molecular gastronomy.

The only thing that happened was the cook serving the food, who kept cursing and swearing about "synthetic meat" and such, while the homeless people around were all enjoying their food.

In just a short while, the two blond kids at the next table had already finished their third serving of fish fillets, which made Er Miao feel a bit hungry too. After eating another piece of fish, she wiped her mouth and asked Anya, who had finished her meal:

"Ms. Anya, what are your thoughts on the office?"

"Yes, we just took a look around the residential area. We're thinking of building the office on the edge of the main road, leaving a safer location inside for civilians."

"In addition, a specially reinforced foundation is needed to prevent the Orcs from invading from underground. As well as dormitories, medical rooms, communications rooms, and offices upstairs, and military supply depots and a small number of food storage warehouses underground, it is best to build them to the standards of a fortress."

After speaking, Anya paused, then looked at Er Miao and Er Wang with some unease, afraid that they might back out.

"no problem!"

After thinking about it, Er Miao agreed. The construction was basically not very costly. It sounded like it required a lot of materials, but in reality, it only required ordinary materials. Only the foundation reinforcement was relatively difficult.

Compared to the guild building of the exploration guild, it's incredibly simple.

"but……"

"Huh?" Anya, who had just smiled, suddenly looked up, afraid of hearing some bad news.

"However, foundation reinforcement doesn't need to be considered separately. When I arrived, I heard that the base is building an underground defense network 30 meters underground, which will cover the entire base."

"Since the office is also within the base area, wouldn't simple reinforcement be sufficient?"

"Oh! Is that so?"

Anya was a little surprised that the underground defense network plan had been proposed and discussed by members of the Security Government Alliance before. Unfortunately, it was not implemented because the cost of modification was too high, and humans were already having difficulty even defending themselves. In addition, it was protected by the granite layer of the Jacinto Plateau.

Ultimately, the Orcs found a crack in the rock strata, dug a tunnel through the crack, and launched a surprise attack, leading to the fall of the capital, Efila.

I never expected to see this plan actually being implemented here.

"That's fine. With a base providing unified protection, there's no need to specifically consider foundation reinforcement."

"Hehe, don't worry, we'll add another layer of alloy plates to the outside of the office, guaranteeing it's fully defensive!"

A bunch of ideas popped into Er Miao's head, her old experience playing the survival game 7 Days to Die kept resurfacing, and she suddenly found herself in a state of not knowing which one to choose.

It would be amazing to be able to build any kind of house you want, and have people live in it and give feedback!

Seeing Er Miao grinning foolishly and lost in thought again, Er Wang skillfully poked her waist, startling her into a sudden realization.

"Miss Anya, let's leave it at that for now. We'll get started right away!"

"Okay, thank you both for your help~" Anya smiled and nodded.

Two Meows grabbed Two Wolves and dashed off like the wind, "First, let's grab two new players to help us, then we'll build our castle!"

-----------------

Meanwhile, in the biological cultivation room.

Li Ang is adding new functional modules to the player's device.

After a month of trial operation, the vehicle originally designed for underwater specialization and personal work found it difficult to adapt to the complex conditions on Sera, especially when communicating with local residents. Simultaneous interpretation using headsets was troublesome and could lead to misunderstandings.

To this end, after completing the collection and translation of language data for the spacecraft, Li Ang sent the data to Vera, and now he has finally obtained the final product.

[Native Translation Module - Seraphim Specialized Version]

Based on a comparison and modification of the local culture of Sera and the universal language, it can be implanted into a biological carrier to provide basic semantic understanding and language expression capabilities.

This is a common innovative invention in the universe, and it is also Vera's first registered invention recognized by the Creation Machine. She was happy about it for an entire afternoon and told Li Ang to prepare to go into seclusion for three days to make the wound medicine as well.

Li Ang was pleased to praise Vera's enthusiasm. Although he was not very optimistic about Vera's idea of ​​making the wound medicine in three days, he was still satisfied with her attitude and thus ordered a further increase in the institute's supply quota.

With the addition of a translation module to the carrier and the recently purchased emotion recognition module, the carrier used by players is no longer the original Palu, but has gradually evolved into a version unique to Creation Star.

If Li Ang has ideas for independent research in the future, he can purchase a research and development license from Palu Technology, which would allow him to branch out from the original technology tree, conduct independent research, and then release the technology to the public.

With the integration of translation and emotion modules, reborn players can communicate freely with the Seraphim without needing a headset translator, and can also recognize emotional fluctuations, in other words, changes in favorability.

Of course, emulator players still only have the headset translation function, but they can see the favorability rating.

After the carrier was processed, Li Ang logged into the official website of Earth's Scars, casually posted a hotfix update announcement, briefly explained the implementation of the affinity function, and then left to close the website and have lunch, leaving many players to discuss the game's update speed in surprise.

Vanilla Ice Cream (1st Floor): "First! The new version has only been online for 3 days, and it's already been updated again!"

"Don't eat cilantro (2nd floor): "Sit down! Such fast work efficiency, but it's useless since I can't play! The developers should release more test codes, that's the important thing."

Knock on my wooden fish (3rd floor): "Hey! Favorability rating, I'll go up and try it out on Marcus right now [evil grin]."

Night Rain and a Few Cups (4th Floor): (Reply to 3rd Floor) "Woodfish, how's your exploration going? How come you disappeared after going out to do a rescue mission?"

Knock on I am a Wooden Fish (5th floor): (Reply to 4th floor) "I triggered a chain quest during the mission, and I'm still finding my way in the mine. I'm not going to say anything more, or my innocent body will be eaten by the Night Bats if I don't log back in soon."

Not eating cilantro (6th floor): (Replying to 5th floor) "I envy the beta testers. Is the Night Bat you mentioned a type of Nightmare? Ah, I'm getting inspired, I'm going to draw a doujinshi—"

Knock on my wooden fish (7th floor): (Replying to 6th floor) "It's a bat, the kind that eats people. Please, please don't, at least don't let me see it..."

"Don't eat cilantro" (8th floor): (Replying to 7th floor) "Eating people—oh no, my mouth is watering..."

Night Rain and a Few Cups (9th Floor): "Alas..."

Meanwhile, Er Miao, who had taken a break to go offline for lunch, also logged into the official website and posted about her experience with today's building task.

The "Build a Home for NPCs" event is in full swing!

As of now, the Sera Humanitarian Aid Base has been completed and an alliance agreement has been reached with the local human faction, the Coalition of Coalition for Security Government (COG), to begin receiving refugees. Due to the increasing number of refugees, the existing regional dormitories are insufficient. The Exploration Guild has launched a "Build Homes for NPCs" quest series with significantly increased rewards. Interested players are welcome to discuss possible building plans!

Both large dormitory and private residence designs are needed. Even casual gamers can participate. Once your design is adopted, you can contact me after entering the game to claim your reward based on the recorded details.

Also, Anya is so pretty! I'm going to really win her over!
