I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.57New Update (4)

by fnovelpia

Right after reading that update message.

—————————————-

<Resource mining fleet is under att…

… … … … … …

—————————————-

‘Damn it.’

All sorts of warning messages began popping up from my octopus-style resource mining areas, dizzying my eyes.

If there were three fortunate things amid this misfortune:

First, after the previous incident where users raided resource zones, I had plastered my mining ships with mobility enhancement equipment for evasion.

Second, due to frequent pirate attacks in some resource zones—pirates not under the control of users or “Marian”—

I had deployed part of my fleet there.

Though unintentional, thanks to this, I was able to defend a few of my 30-some octopus-style resource zones with minimal damage.

Of course, since my fleet was deployed to barely a third of the 30-some resource zones…

Not long after those massive attack messages appeared.

—————————————-

… … … … … …

—————————————-

I could see my mining fleets, which I had scattered everywhere, barely returning alive in tatters.

“Grrrr…”

“This is… quite serious.”

“Commander, if you entrust me with a fleet… I’ll immediately sink every last one of those who invaded our resource zones.”

“Just give me anti-ship equipment, and I’ll slice them all up!”

“My my♡ To dare attack our dear Commander’s precious fleet… such fearless children they are♡”

When I made that growling sound, Berial, Ignis, and Pashtra, who had come with Jessica, each showed their reactions.

But I shook my head at their responses, calming my rising anger.

Of course, the other three showed reactions like “If the Commander says so… sigh, can’t be helped,” to my behavior.

But Jessica, my Adjutant, tilted her head in confusion at my actions.

“This isn’t like you, Commander?”

“Hmm.”

“Is there some reason?”

To Jessica’s question, I shrugged my shoulders and began speaking, saying that although I couldn’t remember properly since I quit this game so long ago:

“This situation is an event that occurs before choosing which faction to select.”

“…Ah.”

“The setting is that they want to demonstrate their faction’s power, so I’m not the only one suffering.”

Having said that, I wanted to show Jessica the last of the three fortunate things I mentioned earlier—

The fact that I wasn’t the only one suffering.

So I opened the community window right there to show Jessica the users who, like me, had deployed octopus-style resource mining and were now properly getting screwed.

“Jessica.”

“…”

“I am not alone.”

Although my pathetic state made Jessica’s expression quite complicated,

Anyway, since I wasn’t the only one suffering, with a “what does it matter” attitude,

I began happily exploring the burning gallery with our bunny girl Jessica.

And the first post we saw today was…

Why the hell are they coming to every resource zone lolololololol

The veteran players told me to spread out octopus-style and it’s only been 3 days since I started doing that lolololololol

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

-[Lord, another one goes up]

-[Poor thing…]

-[The newbie got tricked again]

—————————————-

It was the cry of a newbie claiming they were deceived by veteran players.

And as could be seen from such cries burning throughout the gallery,

Quite a few users seemed to be experiencing pain and suffering through this update.

“…Wow.”

The ugly behavior of the “Commanders” seemed quite shocking.

Jessica kept opening and closing her mouth as if trying to say something while looking at the gallery.

Then she would shut her mouth tight, unable to speak,

Or she would utter short sighs or exclamations like that, giving confused looks.

But despite the outcry from newbies, some dead players, and clean returners like me,

Surprisingly, the gallery’s public sentiment toward other users didn’t last long.

The reason was none other than…

But when I came back, our resource fleet had been sunk.

I cried as soon as I saw it.

-[Why is Busan grandpa suddenly talking like a Seoul country bumpkin;;]

-[He dropped his character concept as soon as his fleet got destroyed]

-[lol]

-[Can’t maintain his character when he gets hit lololol]

It became apparent that even those veteran players were getting screwed by the update content pushed by the developers.

With such pitiful stories being heard, the discord among users quickly subsided.

And as the final touch…

-[Having straws stuck in all directions is next level]

By posting my damage situation, I decided to make those who frequently had outbursts at me realize we’re all in the same boat.

And at the same time, I tried to create the impression that I suffered the most… but.

Unfortunately, my plan completely collapsed because someone even more insane than me appeared.
