Ch.200″Events are meant to be enjoyed equally by everyone.” (1)

For reference, it took me about 3 or 4 days total to find the dungeon, determine the exploration team, and complete all the preparations.

From the perspective of users who weren’t suffering like me, this event seemed to have started after a very long wait.

The gallery was showing quite an enthusiastic response to this event in many ways.

No, it went beyond mere enthusiasm. It was like…

What happens when you give rabbit-like hardcore players and veteran gamers plenty of time to prepare for an event? The answer to that question was becoming clear.

This is someone in our clan

The dungeon spawned right next to their base

Some got dungeons that matched their character concept, and with thorough preparation

They finished much faster than expected

Took about 27 or 29 hours they said

Comments:

-[27 hours is pretty hardcore;;;]

-[No one’s going to clear it faster than that]

-[Oh so that person will get first place bonus points for the main event?]

-˪[Probably, unless someone clears it even faster](Author)

—————————————-

While I was still struggling, users who had already cleared the dungeon started appearing one after another.

‘Those crazy rabbit-like hardcore players again.’

Of course, separate from those hardcore players’ ultra-fast dungeon clears, the reviews of the guaranteed gacha tickets were absolutely hilarious.

I worked my ass off clearing the dungeon and lost 3 cruisers

And all I get is an A-rank destroyer and B-rank Superhuman?

This is such bullshit

Comments:

-[LOL]

-[It’s from SSS down to D rank LOL]

-[Dude, you clearly didn’t read the instructions properly tsk tsk]

Yes, it’s a festival

If you’re jealous, you should’ve just rolled better with your talent

Comments:

-[Poster, is your wrist okay?]

-[Poster, want me to track your IP?]

-[LMAOOOOOOOOO]

-[Dude, you’re accumulating some serious bad karma]

-[But honestly, watching people crash and burn is pretty fun]

When I was the one getting blown up, it was pure agony, but there’s a reason they say watching others fail is a festival of joy.

As I was snickering while watching other users’ explosion scenes, Jessica quietly approached and spoke to me.

“Commander, what are you looking at that’s making you so happy?”

“I’m following the ancient sage’s wisdom that says ‘others’ pain is my happiness.'”

“Oh… That sounds exactly like what a villain would say right before getting killed off at the end.”

“What.”

“Besides, Commander, you know you haven’t executed your causality lock yet, right?”

“…Argh!”

Jessica’s cutting remark made me nod and promise myself not to snicker anymore while reading explosion posts.

Of course, even so…

A person’s dream never ends

Right?

Comments:

-[Isn’t it multiplication, not addition, that makes negatives positive?]

-˪[So that’s why you failed]

-[What the hell, gacha! What is this rank!]

-˪[Aren’t the corners of your mouth turning up!? LOLOLOLOL]

-[Damn it, Commander! I like you!]

-[Finally, he appears… the boy of despair…!]

Title: This event’s gallery star has appeared

Author: Anonymous

Content: [Screenshot of DD certification image]

LOLOLOL

Getting two D-ranks together is truly legendary

The probability of that is seriously low

Comments:

-[If it’s D-rank, isn’t the probability naturally low? What’s the big deal?]

-˪[In this game, D-rank or C-rank units are genuinely just slightly better than regular soldiers, so the probability is surprisingly low]

-˪[You should check the wiki tab for details, but to explain briefly, unlike when this was just a game, users can’t acquire resources through cash purchases here, so there’s a divine theory that C~D rank probabilities were changed](Author)

-˪[Huh?]

-[If you really got two D-ranks, that’s good luck in a different sense]

-[The boy of joy has arrived]

—————————————-

‘Oh my.’

In the midst of all this, someone emerged as the gallery star by getting double-Ds.

With all this chaos unfolding, I couldn’t help but shake my head.

And even in the middle of all this, of course, proof posts from users who pulled SS-rank or higher continued to appear in the ‘Gallery Picks’…

Lamia? Medium cruiser? Is this good?

I already have an Ares-class battle cruiser, so I’m not sure if I need a medium cruiser

Comments:

-[FFS this advance-retreat trolling bastard]

-[Moderator!!! Why aren’t you deleting this troll’s post!!]

—————————————-

Naturally, when not just one but dozens of these trolling posts occupied the Gallery Picks…

Thousands of irritated users either flooded the comments section expressing extreme anger at the moderators.

Or they tried to vent their frustration by posting poop cards, skull cards, and all sorts of other weird things, but…

That didn’t last long.

So we can legally take them down later

Look forward to it

-[The moderator is working!]

-[It wasn’t Gallery Picks but a Death Note all along]

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

—————————————-

Using the community system where users cannot delete their own posts from ‘Gallery Picks’…

When the #2 ranked player and moderator warned that they were creating a legal hit list…

Most users who were about to post provocative content and disgusting images immediately backed down and started praising the moderator instead.
