First Test Guide!

Star Sea's first closed-beta strategy guide was serialized on the virtual forum about a month later. After this post appeared, the click-through rate soared, surpassing the 'Brother Zhi Teaches You to Eat Dumplings' sister-in-law development game strategy in just five hours.

It was a long time later that Xi Ye learned about this post through player chats, so he secretly used the intelligent link to browse it. His main intention was to find out what D-Earthlings thought of this game, and whether anyone had spotted any flaws...

The post was written by a player named My Ancestor Lu Benwei Didn't Cheat.

"Hello everyone, I am Grandpa Lu, a closed-beta player. Yes, the descendant of that famous professional player and Douyu's number one brother. First of all, I want to declare again that I am not exploiting my ancestor. Our Lu family preemptively registered the ID name from the establishment of the virtual network. From My Daddy Didn't Cheat to My Grandpa Didn't Cheat, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Later generations must use this ID to play games. This is ancestral teaching, and I have no choice!"

"Okay, back to the topic. The deeds of my Lu family are all on the virtual encyclopedia, so I won't repeat them. Today, we will mainly talk about this folk masterpiece: Star Sea!"

"After Chenxi Evaluation Company released a set of screenshots of this game some time ago, I believe that whether or not players have been able to enter this game, they should have some understanding of the game's graphics, right? For players who are still in line and have not been able to enter the game, I can only say please continue to work hard. Believe me, this game is worth waiting for until the end of time, no matter the graphics or the playability!"

"First, let me explain why this strategy guide came out so late. I can't help it. This is a private game. Even now, I don't understand why that unknown studio can create such an epoch-making work but didn't try to make an official website? If we hadn't suggested that Chenxi Evaluation set up a special column, I'm afraid there wouldn't be a formal platform to release game guides until now."

"Then I will talk about my game experience. The game is set on Mars. I was almost among the first few batches of lucky players to enter. When I first entered, the entire map was just a bare Mars with a base full of technology. After a month of development, with the efforts of us players, there are now two mining factories, fifty-six mining points, forty bio-sheds, and a Crop Processing Plant!"

"Yes! You read that right. This is not a brainless monster-slaying and leveling game, but an epoch-making game where players cooperate to develop civilization and explore the universe!"

"I have to say that this studio has great ambitions. Although I don't know what it will be like in the future, everything seems perfect in detail so far. In this game, you will only be a miner or a farmer in the early stage, and you can only contribute a little bit of strength to the rising base. It seems insignificant, but when you see the base gradually taking shape, that sense of accomplishment is really not comparable to hacking a Dragon Slaying Blade in the wild."

"Next, I will talk about the game content. When you first enter the game, the lord in the base will ask you to sign an extremely unequal contract. I have roughly read the contents, which are extremely shameless, but that doesn't matter. It's just a game, not really selling yourself. After signing the contract, the lord will provide you with a biological surgery. Note that this is very important, as it is related to your future career path. Please choose carefully if you haven't entered the game yet!"

About race selection:

"There are currently three options for biological surgery: one is to be transformed into a tall and mighty Green Titan, one is to be transformed into a ball-like Wood Elf, and one is to be transformed into a so-called Developer. Currently, Green Titans are the most popular race. They are tall and mighty. Even if you are as thin as a chicken, you can become as mighty as Hulk after the transformation. You can lift stones several times larger than you with your bare hands. That feeling of power makes us Wood Elf players extremely envious!"

"Yes, I am not a Green Titan player. I made a mistake when I had the surgery and chose Wood Elf. To be honest, I regret my choice immensely!"

About Wood Elves:

"Unlike Green Titans, Wood Elves are much cuter in shape, like a glowing fluff ball that can float in the air or bounce on the ground, but it is not recommended for players to bounce outside the base. We Wood Elves must rely on our own mental power to create a protective film to move outside the base. This is very pitiful. The protective film will consume the moisture in our body. If you don't return to the base to replenish it for more than four hours, you will become a dried corpse, referred to as: Elf Jerky. And that film is very fragile. If you bounce outside and it is scratched by something, you may instantly become Elf Jerky and be picked up and eaten by a passing Green Titan."

"Yes! You read that right, it's eaten. Those damn green-skinned beasts have been enjoying eating Elf Jerky for the past week. Here, I want to strongly condemn a player named G Ni Tai Mei. If it weren't for him, this wave of persecution against our elves wouldn't have started. Many girls who chose elves often complain and ask how they can eat us? Those green-skinned beasts, when faced with the girls' crying, still say with embarrassment that you are too fragrant, and they couldn't help it!"

"I went! Is this a reason? Is this a reason? They eat us and blame us for being too fragrant. Are you listening to human language? I still remember once when I was lying on the ground dying, that group of green-skinned beasts surrounded me, without any intention of saving me. They were all like dogs looking at bones, just waiting for me to be dried to death! Damn it! If it weren't for the prohibition of persecuting the same kind, I'm afraid they would have eaten me while I was still alive. Just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end."

"Friendly reminder to the elf girls who have just entered the game, don't run too far away from the base, otherwise, once the film is broken and you are dried into jerky, you will definitely be eaten. Believe me, no matter how cute your voice is, that group of beasts will be able to eat you."

"Of course, elves also have their advantages. The work is easier, and you don't have to carry stones several times larger than yourself and run around all day like that group of beasts. Most of them just need to carefully maintain the crops with their mental power. The specific method will be sensed by the racial talent. Some will also be assigned to biological cultivation. Anyway, they are all delicate tasks. To be honest, this race is very suitable for girls."

About Developers:

"Finally, there are the Developers. This profession is now the least popular in the game. Most of the players who accidentally chose it are clamoring to change races, but unfortunately, this game has an iron rule: race is for life! So, I warn the players who come later to choose carefully."

"The ability of Developers is very special. It seems that only the brain has evolved. It is said that the calculation ability and brain operation ability have been qualitatively improved. They can control some precision instruments. The type of work is a bit like assembly line workers. Many people find it boring. Of course, you can also choose to calculate the energy analysis of the Fire Ant Mine. This requires good grades in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The lord's reward points for doing this job are very high. There is a girl named Yu Nv Wu Gua who should be a top student in reality. She has improved dozens of energy instrument algorithms. Now her honor points have been far ahead, throwing the second place two or three times away! I have to say, top students... are popular everywhere!"

"But many Green Titans said they are not envious. What's more fun than mining? Everyone is here to play games. What could be more frustrating than doing math, physics, and chemistry problems in the game? So, if you are not very interested in scientific research, it is best not to choose this race."

About the combat system:

"Now everyone is a producer, and there is no need for combat yet, and I haven't seen health bars and mana bars. I don't know what the specific combat mode will be like in the future, so I can only tell you when the subsequent content is opened. But many Green Titans have had fights in private. There is no method, just mutual punches and Wang Ba fists, but it looks very exciting, punch to the flesh, much better than some virtual action movies!"

Unknowingly, I have written so much, and it is basically written wherever I think of it. If there are any omissions, please add them by the brothers and sisters in a base. Okay, I'm going to sleep too. Because the game is 100% somatosensory, it will be particularly tiring after going offline. After enough rest, I have to go online to farm. Good night, everyone!

Below the post are many comments:

[Wow, are these character screenshots real? Why do they feel like real people wearing makeup? The texture is too strong, right?]

[Damn, why do you have to queue to enter the game? How long do you have to wait to continue playing if you go offline? Can't the garbage studio buy a better server?]

[The person upstairs clearly hasn't played it; those who've signed contracts can get in instantly, okay?]

[Trash game, doesn't even sell activation codes, actually relying on fair queuing to enter the game. Do you know you'll lose us rich second generations by doing this?]

[Please hurry and let me in; I've been queuing for a month!!!]

Xi Ye finished reading all the content in one breath, his expression strange. From the content of the posts to the comments, not a single person suspected that this game was a conspiracy. Most were begging to go bankrupt just to come into the game and work for him...

The method that this broken brain came up with is actually so effective?

It seems it's safe for now, but I still need to be prepared for danger in times of peace. I need to develop some military strength as soon as possible
