VCRMM: Chapter 221

“Hey, Old Iron. What ore do you think I can dig up today?”

In front of a mine on Sigta Star, a strong man with a shovel on his back grinned at the camera.

Just looking at the scene, one would’ve never imagined that this was a game’s live broadcast. Every viewer who entered the live broadcast room would initially fall into a trance.

Was this really a game’s live broadcast? Why was the style so strange?

This Super Invincible Commander was the anchor of this live broadcast room and he was obviously used to living like this.

After greeting the audience in the live broadcast room, he started digging directly.

As the only player in Starry Sky Age who had switched factions, Super Invincible Commander’s live broadcast room was still very popular. Once the open beta started, he had struggled over whether to delete his account and start over.

After all, he was no different from a newcomer after switching factions.

Moreover, in the Sigta camp, he didn’t gain any status bonus. Except for the fact that there were no barriers to communication, everything was in difficult, no, hell mode!

However, if he deleted his account and started again, all the popularity he accumulated in his live broadcast room would disappear.

The audience came here to watch his hard life on an alien planet. If it was still Roland, couldn’t they watch other anchors?

This way, he wouldn’t have any advantage.

As a closed beta player, Super Invincible Commander wasn’t short of money. He played games just to have fun. The game experience might be very difficult, it would be cool to be watched by so many people!

The number of followers in his live broadcast room had exceeded one million. The number of online viewers could reach up to 700,000 to 800,000.

He had never experienced this feeling of being watched by thousands of people in real life, so he wouldn’t give up this live broadcast room until he got tired of playing.

But life on Sigta Star was really hard. First of all, he had no money and no registered permanent household.

As an alien stowaway, he spent some time hiding. But in the end, he was eventually caught and sent here to mine.

However, Super Invincible Commander was also optimistic. In the past month or so, he had improved his mining skill to Lv 8.

Then he discovered that he might not be able to level up, but he could increase his attributes by improving his mining skills! In addition, after reaching Lv 5, he had an epiphany with his active skill, Strong Like an Ox.

After finally finding a way to improve his strength, Super Invincible Commander naturally worked harder.

Due to the improvement of his mining skills, his probability of digging up rare ores had greatly increased.

These ores might’ve been taken away by the NPC, but they would also be recorded in his account. Once the contribution was enough, he could be released from prison and be able to obtain a residence permit on Sigta Star.

When he knew that this system existed, Super Invincible Commander became even more motivated.

As for the audience in the live stream room, they gradually became accustomed to this style. Not to mention, they had watched many live broadcasts but this was the first time they had seen mining. It was quite interesting to watch.

Today, Super Invincible Commander had good luck and dug up two more rare minerals.

The way the NPCs looked at him was no longer the same as the beginning. Not only were the NPC respectful, but they also talked and laughed.

After all, Super Invincible Commander was really ‘talented’ in mining. He only worked for a month, but he went from understanding nothing to becoming like an old miner who had been working for almost ten years.

In fact, it was just that his proficiency level had improved.

Super Invincible Commander was about to hand in the minerals when he heard the NPCs in charge of overseeing the work chatting.

“I heard that an envoy from the Roland Empire is coming to visit today.”

One of the NPCs said.

[Huh? Are you talking about the Roland Empire?]

[It seems so.]

[They have just finished fighting the beast wave. Are they going to open the interstellar map so soon?]

[Wow, this is over! Super Invincible is expected to return.]

Super Invincible Commander also became vigilant. He quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between the two NPCs.

Everything in Starry Sky Age simulated reality. He was 100% sure that if he walked over now, these two NPCs would definitely stop talking.

He heard another NPC say, “The Roland Empire? Do you mean the one at the bottom of the interstellar ranking?”

“It isn’t the bottom. It is the second to last.”

“Such a weak country came to our Sigta as an envoy? Isn’t it because they want to get close to us?”

“You can’t say that. Have you forgotten? It is said that the sky mine of our Sigta was discovered by the princess of the Roland Empire. If it hadn’t been for that princess, we would be very poor now.”

“After you say that, I remember.”

The NPC said, “Didn’t we donate a lot of money to Roland before? I saw the news!”

“So now the envoy is here to ask for money, right?”

Another NPC shrugged. “I don’t know about that, but I heard there will be a live news broadcast today. You can watch it then.”

“Tsk, such a poor nation probably doesn’t even have mecha or battleships. What is so good about an ordinary spaceship?”

“Just passing the time.”

Super Invincible Commander listened to the conversation and couldn’t help having a subtle feeling in his heart.

He might’ve switched sides but he still had the emotions of a fledgling toward Roland. Compared with Sigta, he had a greater sense of belonging to Roland.

Now, listening to the two aliens complaining about Roland, he couldn’t help but feel a bit unhappy. The barrage even cursed directly.

[These two idiots are a bit annoying.]

[Don’t bully young people into poverty!]

[D*mn, Roland is actually ranked second to last in the entire universe in terms of strength? I remember someone inquired before. There are more than 200 nations in the entire interstellar world, right?]

[To be precise, there are more than 200 nations in the entire Interstellar Alliance.]

[Then Roland is too miserable!]

[My fists are hard. I want to beat up these two NPCs! Come on, Commander, I’ll paint the target for you!]

Super Invincible Commander rolled his eyes. If he could beat them, would he have to dig at the mine here for a month?

Once the two NPCs stopped chatting, he went forward with the two rare minerals to submit them. Then he was told that his contribution was enough and he would be exempted from punishment from today on.

Then he got a stamped voucher, which he could use to go to the relevant department to apply for a residence permit.

Once the resident permit was issued, he would be considered a legal resident of Sigta Star.

Super Invincible Commander couldn’t help cheering. He quickly ran away with the voucher.

He was unhappy that the people of Sigta looked down on Roland, but he wasn’t in Roland’s camp now. It was only right that he find a way to survive on Sigta!

Sigta Palace.

“Father, Roland is just a small nation. Even if it was kind to Sita, we can’t use such a high standard of etiquette to receive their envoys!”

The eldest prince of Sigta said righteously.

“What’s more, we’ve already repaid the debt to Princess Val.”

His Majesty Anta shook his head.

“This time, Princess Val is personally coming on the mission. Due to emotion and reason, we can’t neglect her.”

“If it wasn’t for this princess, Sigta wouldn’t be where it is now. We should be grateful for the blessing and can’t forget our roots.”

The eldest prince disagreed. “But they can’t repay the kindness!”

“We have already provided enough aid to Roland before. Such a weak nation is like a bottomless pit. Are we going to help them endlessly and have our blood sucked by them?”

His Majesty Anta frowned. “Princess Val might not be here for assistance. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

“Furthermore, the amount of assistance that Sigta had provided to Roland over the years isn’t that large. In total, it isn’t as much as the amount you spent training those mecha warriors.”

“Father, can this be the same?”

The eldest prince was furious. “My mecha warriors are used to protect our nation and bring glory to our nation. How can this be compared?”

“I haven’t seen them win the Genius Competition.”

His Majesty Anta’s light words silenced the eldest prince.

The Sigta Empire might’ve become rich due to rare minerals, but it had only risen for a short period of time. The hardware facilities had kept up, but there were still huge vacancies in relevant talents.

In fact, their Interstellar Alliance ranking was relatively low and they couldn’t get too many development resources from the Interstellar Alliance. They had been working hard to solve this situation in recent years, but there was little success.

In the end, the eldest prince could only say, “Don’t change the subject. I’m talking about Roland!”

“The order has been issued. Do you want to withdraw it? Where is the majesty of the imperial family?” His Majesty Anta waved his hand. “If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. I will ask the third child to go.”

These words finally made the eldest prince stop.

At the ceremony prepared to welcome Roland’s envoys, he also attended on time. After all, as the most respected prince, he must attend such an important occasion.

Moreover, he also brought his mecha team over.

His Majesty Anta looked at the two neat rows of mechas and was satisfied. After all, it looked very grand.

Showing military strength in front of envoys was also a diplomatic method.

They stood at the port and waited for the spaceship to land.

As the broadcasting staff announced it, the Sigta people paying attention to the meeting saw a few small dots appear in the sky.

The little dots gradually enlarged.

They saw a black spaceship, guarded by several shuttles, flying through the sky.

“What type of spaceship is this?” The eldest prince frowned.

The guard next to him whispered, “It seems to be an ordinary civilian spaceship produced by the Flanders Interstellar Federation. Based on the model, it should’ve been produced in recent years.”

So, it wasn’t one that Sigta helped purchase before.

The eldest prince paused for a moment before sneering. The smile on his face was still decent, but the disapproval in his eyes was very obvious.

It was too embarrassing to fly this type of ordinary civilian spaceship. There was also no fleet escort around it. He was afraid that this was it for Roland’s wealth.

He shook his head secretly and still maintained his original judgment of the Roland Empire.

Soon, under the protection of the shuttles, the ordinary-looking black spaceship docked at the port dedicated to spacecraft.

This civilian spaceship seemed a bit shabby compared with the rows of beautiful spaceships and fleets at the port.

[Ahh, I’m so tortured.]

[F*k, this comparison is too tragic for Roland!]

[I feel so sad. But the emperor of Sigta is loyal enough to hold such a grand welcoming ceremony.]

[It is too grand. It makes me feel a bit ashamed.]

Naturally, Super Invincible Commander didn’t miss this live news broadcast. Seeing the picture on the light screen and hearing the surrounding Sigta people laughing at Roland, he couldn’t help clenching his fists.

[Look, what is that?!]

At this moment, someone in the audience noticed that something was wrong.

Super Invincible Commander looked carefully and saw dense dots suddenly appearing in the sky in the background of the live news screen.

The small dots were gradually getting larger. Under the high-definition lens, black ships of different shapes appeared. They looked like they were showing off their teeth and claws.

The Sigta people watching the live broadcast all screamed in horror. “It is the vanguard of the star thieves! They are here to steal things again!”

“Don’t panic! The oldest prince’s mecha team is here!”

“Yes yes. The eldest prince has trained a mecha team. They will definitely be able to drive away the star thieves!”
