Ch.112The Final Week. (3)

And what I’ve seen so far was only about events from 1-2 hours ago.

Let’s flip forward through the pages to see the situation in the gallery when the real hun-ting time began.

As expected, just as I thought.

The gallery’s situation was filled with the frenzy of human hunters who had suddenly become obsessed with point hunting.

Posts were rapidly appearing side by side—some from users suffering from sudden looting attempts by others who hadn’t properly prepared.

Of course, users who switched their profession to looters weren’t always successful.

Living evidence kept being posted.

Title: Story of how I tried to loot but got looted instead.txt

Content: [Image of a damaged fleet], [GIF of a fleet surrounded by ships]

So I heard everyone was looting, so I just went to raid a nearby user base

But damn, turns out they were a member of a huge clan, and I got my ass handed to me by clan fleets that rushed in for support

They left my gacha ships alone but stripped all my other ships and stole my reward points

No resources left either

FFS how am I supposed to live now

Damn if they weren’t in a clan I think I could’ve taken them

Comments:

-[This guy has nothing left]

-[No money, no resources, no brains, and now no ships]

-˪[FFS where do you live?](Author)

-[Look at this guy getting triggered and replying right away lol]

-[I’m the one who got attacked, replying because you’re stupid]

Just FYI, I’m the supply officer for our clan, so I have quite a few transport fleets on external contracts

But this guy comes charging at just my transport fleets while talking trash

You can’t even touch me with your pathetic fleet, idiot.

Go to sleep instead of talking nonsense

Comments:

-[That’s a solid fleet]

-[True that]

-[It’s like 3 times bigger than the attacker’s fleet?]

-[LMAO]

—————————————-

Just because others were doing it.

Without proper preparation, those who mindlessly tried to loot ended up getting reverse-looted themselves.

Content: [Large fleet battle near a base]

I didn’t experience this myself, just watching a battle that broke out

It’s hard to explain so I’ll go in chronological order

1. B came to loot A’s base

2. B successfully looted and was returning, I was thinking about hitting them too, but then A’s fleet appeared

3. B’s fleet got destroyed and subdued by A, losing everything they had looted

4. But then another player C appeared and backstabbed A

5. A, whose fleet rear was damaged from fighting B, got beaten by C and had their resources stripped

6. And B, who was just sitting there, also got beaten and looted by C

7. But then player D appeared and ambushed A, B, and C

8. A, B, and C all ended up donating resources to D

Comments:

-[What the lolololol]

-[This is Dumb and Dumber]

-[Problem: Calculate the total amount of resources and points B surrendered]

-˪[Huh?]

-[The fact is B got their resources and points stolen THREE times]

-˪[LMAO]

-[Came to loot once and got properly schooled]

—————————————-

It’s not like they were doing a comedy routine or anything.

Strange situations like looting and then getting reverse-looted were happening frequently.

No need for small talk, right?

Just making a clan to help each other since looting is really bad these days

If someone gets attacked by looters, we rush to help them

We’ve already been in several real battles and have reverse-looted attackers multiple times

Looking forward to many newbies joining us

Comments:

-[This is kind of like forming a village]

Looking at the chaotic state of the gallery where a war of all against all was taking place, I had many complicated thoughts.

Of course, the first thought that came to mind was…

‘These guys, no matter how I look at it, seem to be enjoying this situation?’

I mean, these guys must have been mentally kidnapped and imprisoned by this damn game just like me.

But looking at what they’re doing, they don’t look like people who’ve been mentally kidnapped and imprisoned.

They just look like genuine gamers who are purely enjoying the game.

I felt many subtle emotions watching this spectacle.

But regardless, I had no intention of looting or being looted.

Above all, PVP in this damn game didn’t generally bring good results.

Rather than causing trouble by trying to loot, I decided to quietly earn points and enjoy my rural farming life(?).

==========

But as is often the case in life.

Just because I’m careful doesn’t mean others will be careful or avoid causing trouble.

After seeing the state of the gallery.

I shook my head and decided to just do quests, but not even 3 hours had passed when…

“Umm… Commander?”

“What is it?”

“I have something to report.”

“Yes?”

“An unidentified fleet is approaching our resource zone right now.”

“…”

It might be called “unidentified,” but.

In this game, an “unidentified fleet” basically meant a fleet belonging to an unknown “user.”

I pressed my temples at Jessica’s report and decided to find out exactly what was going on.

“Is it a resource fleet?”

“I’m not sure, it can’t be confirmed by radar, so I was going to send a patrol ship to the area to check directly.”

“Hmm, if they’re just coming to mine and don’t strike first… there’s no need to attack preemptively.”

“Understood, Commander.”

Unlike the original game, resources in the resource zones here were like never-ending fountains with inexhaustible deposits.

I had no intention of stopping others from gathering resources, so I decided to take a defensive stance, but.

About 7 minutes after giving that order.

“Commander!!”

“W-what is it?”

“It’s an enemy! The unidentified fleet that came to the resource zone has destroyed our patrol ship and is now advancing toward the resource zone!”

“…Oh damn it.”

I finally realized that looter uncles were visiting me despite my minding my own business.

Grumbling under my breath, I immediately decided to respond to the situation.
