Chapter 959: Chapter 525 Are you kidding me? Chapter 959: Chapter 525 Are you kidding me? “I’m bored…”

“Commander, create some excitement, otherwise it’s too boring.”

“Or you could sell your looks and conjure up some salacious literature for us to gossip about in our spare time.”

“Indeed, just a little bit, since, boss, your ‘hooks’ might only sell a little bit.”

On the spaceship, the boss, looking at the daily reports from other captains, felt his blood pressure rise.

As a graduate mentor under thirty years old (twenty-nine years and nine months), he had always been the pride of the heavens, a dragon among men, always worshipped by others. He had never been humiliated like this before.

“And what the heck are ‘hooks’ anyway? Unlucky, do you even know what ‘hooks’ means?”

Unlucky was silent for a long time before stiffly saying, “Probably… a word that shouldn’t be said casually.”

“You know, don’t you? Just spit it out!”

“Boss, you might as well look it up online, after all, researching literature is part of scientific work.”

“Is it that hard for you to just say it? Does your side sentence you to prison for answering a question?”

When the boss found out that ‘hooks’ actually referred to buttocks, he decided to delay Unlucky’s graduation for a few more years.

Although constantly teased by players, the boss could understand their feelings.

Because he felt quite bored himself.

Under the influence of gravitational tides, they could move toward their destination faster than the speed of light, but it would still take some time to reach it.

According to Gong Gong’s analysis, this process would roughly take about a month, and that was in real time.

What kind of game makes players spend a month in boring navigation!

And strictly speaking, it’s actually more than a month, since the players’ initial preparations took a month.

In normal games, if this were the case, players would teach the game developers what player rage is. At that point, no matter who you are, they’d make you unrecognizable even to your own mother.

But “Stellar Nebula” seemed unaffected. Everyone did nothing but complain about boredom, and the atmosphere on the forums was quite harmonious. Everyone was just counting days on their fingers, then eagerly anticipating how to play the game after nuclear weapons become available.

“Stellar Nebula,” you’re doing great!

Actually, there had been complaints before, but after one analysis post came out, all complaints disappeared.

[Do you really think we have to travel for a month? Do you really believe Fang Cheng is deliberately making us bored?]
[If you think so, congratulations, you didn’t get it.]
[Actually, the reason is quite simple: we are playing too ahead of the curve, so much that the game content can’t keep up.]
[“Stellar Nebula” is a masterpiece crafted by Fang Cheng Studio over a year, but even the most entertaining games can’t keep up content-wise. And with the myriad ways to play in “Stellar Nebula,” it takes even more time to prepare future content.]
[This month may seem like it’s meant to kill time, but actually, it’s giving Fang Cheng Studio more time to refine the game!]
[And also, it’s their kindness!]
[They could have just sold a DLC to make money, but instead, they’re putting the updated content in the game for free for us to play, and giving us a decent reason. I’m literally crying.]
[Also, is this mess really Fang Cheng Studio’s fault? Why aren’t we reflecting on our own excessive freedom? With so many gameplay options available, why do we have to chase after nuclear weapons? Isn’t it nice to play normally and then cruise through the world after gaining power?]
[So ultimately, it’s our fault as players! We didn’t give Lord Fang Cheng enough time to work on the game, truly sorry.]
[So, stop complaining, and let’s use this time to train our new Commander more, and let him come up with better ideas to entertain us.]
This post resonated widely with the players, its analysis sounding quite reasonable and soon it became a widespread understanding.

And some players even said that flying slowly was quite nice, so boss, when are you going to organize an event?

To this, the boss replied uniformly: [Organize nothing.]
Really don’t know what’s with these players, playing “Stellar Nebula” until they self-deprecate.

No evidence yet they’ve come up with a theory, and eventually, they blame themselves.

You guys…
Seeing the boss rapidly replying to all the pleas in the same manner, Unlucky carefully said, “Boss, maybe you should organize an event.”

“Is this the way you talk to a mentor?” the boss replied discontentedly, “Why don’t you go hang yourself and make everyone a bit happier?”

“What’s there to be happy about?” Unlucky asked in surprise.

“I’d be rid of an incompetent student, and everyone else would have a reason to laugh at you – isn’t that something to be happy about?”

Unlucky glared at the boss and then swore to herself that one day she would get back at this venomous mentor.

If it wasn’t because her fate was literally in his hands right now, she might have already taken action.

As Unlucky replayed the top ten tortures in her mind, she heard the boss say, “Sick of it, really, how can Wu Wei do such a boring job for so long. Unlucky, come over and help me handle this. If it’s not essential information, just reject it outright.”
