​

​

Sarah asked after hugging Maria and boarding the probe.

​

“Minho oppa and Maria, is it okay if we don’t do the tutorial?”

​

“It’s okay. I already know the primary key. Let’s learn by doing the rest.”

​

“Yes! I’m fine too!”

​

-hmm

-Are you okay?

-If you troll like this, it would be funny haha.

-How about just coming with a tutor?

-Are we finally seeing the humanity of the host?

-Let’s just put it on.

​

Like Sarah, viewers also reacted with a bit of concern. As expected, it would be fun to play as an abandoned soldier here, but anyway, with my physical strength, I am confident that I can beat the mission on my own no matter what level of difficulty I go to.

​

In Maria’s case, it was even more so than mine. Basically an artificial intelligence, her reaction speed is faster than mine, which uses high-speed thinking.

​

She is probably the one with the best gaming skills among the members, including me.

​

“That… I did a tutorial, but I’m not sure if it’s any good.”

​

Janey said in a slightly unconfident voice. Since Janey is still less accustomed to manipulation, it was understandable for her to say that.

​

I spoke lightly so as not to put pressure on her.

​

“It’s okay. Even if everyone else can’t do it, I can cover it.”

​

-Minho is sweet.

-I’m proud of the game lol.

-Lee Min-ho is worth the effort to play the game haha.

-But I don’t think it’s wrong haha.

​

After Sarah and Janey’s preparations were completed, we had to choose a mission.

​

The host could choose which planet and mission to collect resources from. Sarah and Janey came in following my account, and I was invited by Maria to board her probe, so it was Maria who was now in charge of the room.

​

“Hehehehe… I am your leader here! The world of Lord and Jong Reverse!”

​

“What nonsense… Quickly pick a map.”

​

I dismissed Maria’s nonsense and entered the bridge.

​

“Let’s see… The planet is Corvex, where we are now. How about a mission to recover resources?”

​

“I like it.”

“Me too.”

“Okay then let’s go with that.”

Maria smiled sinisterly at the unanimous opinion.

​

“Huhuhu… You all seem so confident! Then, set the difficulty level to hard!”

​

Hold~

​

“Now, wait… ! It’s a bit difficult to start from the beginning… !”

​

Sarah was the only one who tried to stop Maria in a panicked voice, but it was already too late. Maria has already finished selecting the planet, mission, and difficulty level.

​

Accordingly, the machines that were doing chores inside the ship dragged the character we were controlling to the capsule-like place where we first came out.

​

The capsule seemed to be some kind of drop pod.

​

“Aaaah… ! Do you know who I am? Don’t you let go of this?”

​

Sarah suddenly lost control of her character and screamed. Naturally, viewers were happy to see it.

​

-lol

-It’s a forced ejection haha.

-Who is it? It’s a clone sent to make money haha.

-That’s right haha ​​Based on the settings, they were just clones spread around.

-There’s no way I can survive without using Ready lol.

-Come on, let’s go~

​

As viewers said, given the game’s setting, the player’s character was a mass-produced clone, so the treatment seemed a bit harsh. From what I heard, it is possible to respawn even if you die on the planet, but even then, it was said that the setting was that other clones would be dispatched rather than the already dead clones being resurrected.

​

It wasn’t strange to think that these were clones and probes sent by a space age corporation solely to harvest resources. Rather, I was more immersed in the game because it was a unique setting.

​

“Ugh… ! Falling… !”

​

Tututututong!

​

With Sera’s scream, the capsule was launched towards the planet. After a brief loading process with a screen of the falling capsule, we were able to land on the planet.

​

Sarah crawled out of the capsule and grumbled.

​

“No, what kind of loading screen is so exciting?”

​

-If someone hears it, they’ll think I really fell haha.

-It’s magnificent haha.

-Oh, the planet has a nice atmosphere.

-It looks like you can’t see the enemy yet?

​

Looking around, the place where we fell seemed to be a low hill. Most of the planet’s surface seemed to be made of rock, and despite the environment, some vegetation grew much higher than the character’s height.

​

The vegetation combined with the light fog hanging at ankle height created an eerie atmosphere. Just by looking at the atmosphere, I could feel that we were the only humans, or rather clones, on this planet.

​

When I opened the map and looked at it, the goal of the resource recovery mission was located slightly to the east.

​

“The mission location is nearby! Let’s move!”

​

Maria, absorbed in her role as captain, gave the order. Following her words, we moved towards the mission location.

​

When we arrived near the mission location, the radio played automatically.

​

[The goal has been reached. Eliminate the bugs occupying the facility and recover resources.]

​

“Uh… I think I have a lot of enemies.”

​

Janey, who was looking at the target next to me, spoke in a shaky voice.

​

As she said, the target area was covered with enemies called bugs. The resources we had to recover seemed to have the property of attracting them, and it was quite a large quantity.

​

The sight of a crowd of alien lifeforms resembling bugs and larger than humans was an extremely eerie scene.

​

Still, they haven’t found us hiding in the vegetation and watching our movements.

​

If I hit the first bread, I could easily reduce the number and start.

​

‘If we request a bombing raid on the probe, we can start by wiping out all the bulk… ‘

​

While I was entering the command to request support, Maria, who was behind me, suddenly ran out toward the target.

​

“Hahaha!! Find your goal! Wipe it all away!!!”

​

“Uh… !”

“Minho, no, Minho. How do I do that?”

​

Of course, Sarah, who saw this, was shocked and lost her words, and Janey, who knew little about the game, forgot what she was acting and made a mistake. Rather, it happened because Janey could be said to be an expert in such operations.

​

I quickly spoke to Maria in my mind.

​

‘Hey, what are you doing!’

​

But surprisingly, Maria’s voice as she gave the answer was calm.

​

-Master, calm down. This is all for the broadcast.

​

‘broadcast? ‘Ignorant idiot?’

​

-Ah, you can cover everything even if you do this. Rather, it’s no fun if there’s no crisis at all.

​

‘… … .’

​

It wasn’t wrong. It was a problem to throw yourself into the enemy camp where a large quantity of soldiers were waiting, but if you run away from the enemy and reduce your strength little by little, you can deal with as many enemies as you want.

​

Maria continued speaking in a calm voice. However, the girl on the broadcast was running forward, screaming like a berserker.

​

-And as a vertuber, I find it easier to capture this kind of strange image in the beginning.

​

‘surely… It’s not wrong.’

​

There may be some viewers who want to see missions solved tactically and neatly, but most viewers will burst out laughing when an unexpected scene appears.

​

Advertisers probably want something like that rather than playing it seriously like a strategy without all the laughter.

​

I decided to loosen Maria’s reins a little.

​

‘Then do whatever you want.’

​

-yes!

​

After answering that, Maria fired her main weapon, a machine gun, and screamed.

​

“I am Lamb!!!”

​

“… … .”

​

When I saw them jumping around so excitedly, it seemed like they were just doing whatever they wanted.

​

I decided to act as I was, leaving Maria who was frantically firing machine guns at the crowd of enemies.

​

“… Sarah and Janey, please request orbital bombardment.”

​

“Yeah… ? But if you do something like that when Maria is over there, you’ll get caught in the bombing… ?”

​

“Can I do it right now?”

​

Even though it was our first time meeting, Sarah’s hesitation as a team member contrasted with Janey’s request for bombing as if she had prepared it in advance as soon as I finished speaking.

​

-What is the temperature difference?

-No, it’s still a team, but they throw it away right away haha.

-Who told you to jump forward alone?

-They’re gathered together just in time for a bombing raid.

-If you just sacrifice one clone with aggro and clear everything out, it’s beneficial haha.

​

“Then I will count to three and ask at the same time. One, two, three!”

​

“… Eight!”

​

In the end, Serra also requested bombing as if pushed.

​

Along with the motion of the character inputting coordinates by tapping the device on his wrist, a red mark appeared at Maria’s location. It was a range that included most of the enemies.

​

Of course, Maria, who was on the same team, could also see it.

​

“Uh… ? Don’t you support me? hey… ?!”

​

Maria, who had jumped into the enemy camp alone and was surrounded by an outnumber of soldiers, spoke in a trembling voice.

​

Her aim and movement were definitely excellent. Star Capital’s controls were definitely less flashy than the game I usually played, Apex Hunters, but even so, I was able to hold on without dying.

​

But that’s only when you’re not surrounded by enemies.

​

Since the basic character specs were there, in that situation, no matter how good the control was, there was no answer other than dying.

​

Eventually, Maria’s character, who ran out of ammunition, pulled out a grenade and at the same time, a bombardment from three probes fell on her.

​

“Aaaah!! For humanity!!!”

​

bang! Kwagwagwagwagwang!

​

The explosion of the grenade and bombardment from the probe sent up a small mushroom cloud of dust. The screen shook as the shock wave reached the place where we were hiding.

​

-Hey, this is it.

-lol

-Wasn’t his concept artificial intelligence? lol

-It’s an artificial intelligence that works for humanity, haha.

-Oh, it’s a fire-powered car haha.
