I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.62Faction Sentiment (1)

by fnovelpia

Anyway, I had finally decided which faction to join.

As the next morning dawned.

I was, as always.

“Wow—exciting dual pickaxes…”

Ignis spent her time mining away.

“I’ll be firing quite a lot this time… Ufufufu♡”

Instead of destroying captured ships, Pashtra was assigned to the defense fleet to fire beam cannons at ships from various factions raiding resource zones.

“So you want us to each take charge of defending a fleet?”

“If that’s what big brother wants, I’ll do anything.”

And as I started the leveling process by having Berial and Marian command fleets as well.

Finally, I wondered what I should do with Griyanar, who was still only level 1.

As I mentioned before, I returned to this cursed game after quitting for more than three years.

As a result, I had long forgotten how to develop each character.

So to develop our superhumans, I needed to actively consult the ‘Wiki tab’ on the gallery, but…

‘Griyanar leveling, leveling… why isn’t there anything?’

The problem was that our exhibitionist, perverted Professor Griyanar was not only a rare SSS-tier character but also one of the even rarer ‘support’ type characters.

Because of this, information about developing Griyanar had not yet been uploaded to the wiki tab in the gallery.

And if I tried to get information through the ‘chat window’ like before.

—————————————-

-[How do you guys level up Griyanar?]

-[Not telling you]

-[The important thing is ‘how to get her’ first]

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Look at how they immediately refuse to tell]

-[Newbies should die]

-[Where are there even newbies anymore, ffs]

-[If you couldn’t do this after suffering for over half a year, you should just hang yourself]

-[Wait, isn’t this just a flex? Bragging about pulling her?]

-[Oh right]

-[Kill him! Hang the bastard!]

—————————————-

Unfortunately, due to the pirate tutorial lasting over half a year and the unique simultaneous appearance of three factions.

Realistically, there were far too many people who, despite only doing the tutorial for half a year themselves, had developed the bizarre phenomenon of rejecting newbies.

If I asked in the chat window, I would only receive mockery and criticism like that.

‘Sob, how sad.’

But it seems not everything in the world is sad.

Watching me searching everywhere trying to make her stronger, Griyanar said:

“My, Commander, are you trying to make me stronger right now?”

“…You can see that, so why ask?”

“It’s truly touching. To think you’d work so hard even for someone like me.”

I couldn’t tell if she was being sarcastic or what, but Griyanar eventually shook her head, placed her half-gloved hand on my shoulder, and began to speak.

“But you know, if you want to make me stronger while using me at the same time… couldn’t you just build a proper laboratory?”

“…Ah.”

“It seems our Commander has forgotten quite a lot during his absence.”

Following Griyanar’s advice, I immediately decided to open the base construction menu.

—————————————-

<Additional Docking Facility> (2,500)

<Resource Warehouse> (3,000)

—————————————-

Seeing the “mind-boggling” resource consumption that was known to increase explosively from level 5.

I quietly closed the construction menu and gave Griyanar a look like an innocent baby lamb or deer.

“Commander? I already know you have more than enough resources.”

“…”

“Why don’t you just build it? Then you can fully utilize my body and strength as you so desire.”

“Do you really have to take everything to feel satisfied?”

“My, that makes me sound like some evil witch… extorting all of the Commander’s precious resources.”

“Ugh.”

“Come on, Commander, you’re sacrificing a little in the present to regain happiness in the future♡”

As if there was no way out, she approached me while I was deliberating.

“And if possible… since we’re planning to join hands with the Space Monsters anyway, please go with the Biology Laboratory…♡”

With a giggling laugh like a little devil and blowing a soft breath into my ear.

Shortly after.

—————————————-

<<<Time Remaining Until Completion: 1 day 6 hours 5 minutes>>>

—————————————-

“Commander, we have less than 10,000 mineral resources left in the base.”

“I… have saved myself from a future of painful humiliation at Griyanar’s hands…”

“…”

Griyanar’s deadly seduction(?) and luring tactics(???) smoothly led me to build the research facility.

The only minor hiccup was that Jessica, who was in charge of the base’s resources, came running over in concern.

Anyway, after directing the construction of the Biology Laboratory like that.

I decided to stash Griyanar in the existing ‘Advanced Laboratory’ to help with leveling and base operations while the new one was being built.

Although in the process, she complained that the facilities of that lab were a bit shabby.

“Oh, then would you prefer to hang out in the regular laboratory instead?”

“On second thought, this place doesn’t seem so bad, Commander.”

Since realistically there were no better alternatives.

Despite grumbling at my response, Griyanar disappeared into the laboratory and showed herself enjoying a fun and exciting research life.

==========

After putting all the superhumans I had into leveling work.

I decided it was about time to visit the gallery again to gather more information, so I opened the community window.

And as soon as I entered the gallery through the community window, what I saw was…

—————————————-

-[Upvote if you think everyone who chose Monsters should die] (45)

-[El-Men forever] (11)

-[The Earth Federation is the rightful ruler of this universe!] (16)

-[Can’t lose monsters, can’t lose tentacles] (66)

-[Do you even know our technology?] (9)

-[Earth is your homeland] (51)

-[Pirates are people too!] (12)

-[Be happy with Space Kkanp^^] (23)

-[I just want to plunder with the pirates ffs;] (13)

-[Monster, you… are a being that shouldn’t exist] (57)

—————————————-

It was such an unexpected storm of inter-faction hatred.

Players like me who had just logged in and completed daily quests were all dumbfounded.

Of course, our friendly neighborhood veteran player came by to explain this madness before leaving.

Nothing special.

They’re just trying to attract more people to their faction to make future gameplay smoother.

It’s just that they’re doing it by saying other factions are trash, so choose ours.

Comments:

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Creating faction prejudice instead of regional prejudice]

-[LOL]

-[But honestly, if I had to choose one, it would be hard]

-˪[For someone like you: Join The Earth Federation]

-˪[Arm yourself with high-quality technology alongside space elves]

-˪[Didn’t you see how strong pirates are? Just trust and follow the Empress]

-˪[Space Monsters are super strong and numerous, become tentacles with us]

Looking at the state of the community, I felt complicated emotions in many ways.
