VCRMM: Chapter 322

Sigta Star, the capital.

Under the protection of the Roland Empire’s five small civilian spaceships, the Sigta Empire was no longer harassed by star thieves.

The star thieves who encountered the Starry Sky in the beginning and fled all over Sigta Star were also arrested one after another.

Among them, the only remaining player of the Sigta Empire, Super Invincible Commander, played a key role.

Yes, even though the Sigta Empire had established friendly diplomatic relations with Roland, he hadn’t been able to board the return spaceship and return to the Roland Empire’s faction.

Fortunately, his original act of defection had been corrected. As a citizen of an allied nation, he wouldn’t be wanted when he returned to the Roland Empire.

In order to better develop on Sigta Star, Super Invincible Commander resolutely embarked on a journey to capture the star thieves.

The moment he successfully captured the first star thief with his years of experience in playing games and his bravery and fearlessness, he finally gained the recognition of the Sigta Empire.

Moreover, once he was commended and rewarded, his reputation in the Sigta Empire was enhanced and he gained the favor of some NPCs.

Yes, the Sigta faction wasn’t as convenient as the Roland faction.

The player’s reputation would be improved synchronously after performing certain actions, but the reputation would only be improved after receiving an official commendation, or being seen by many NPCs and having the word spread.

After some exploration, he finally found the job he wanted to change to on Sigta Star—a mecha master.

According to the guide NPC, the more powerful the mecha master, the stronger his mental strength.

Once mental strength reached a certain level, it could be used to kill people. In addition to mental strength, physical strength was equally important.

It was said that the strongest of the younger generation in the interstellar world had reached SSS+ in both physical and mental strength.

Finally, Super Invincible Commander figured it out.

Mecha masters sounded cool, but in terms of practicality, it was simply not comparable to elementalists because…

Unless one’s mental strength and physical fitness reached a high level, a mecha pilot without a mecha wasn’t much stronger than an ordinary person.

Space warriors were extremely dependent on weapons and equipment.

Once he realized this, he regretted it so much!

It turned out that even though the planners were dogs, they had given the best profession and upgrade system to the players from the very beginning. As long as they stayed in the Roland Empire and trained with peace of mind, they would one day become the strongest in the universe.

Why did he say so?

It was because the one who claimed to be the strongest of the younger generation, the one whose physical and mental strength reached SSS+, was called Roland’s Guardian!

The strongest might be attached to the term ‘younger generation’, but it was still very impressive!

However, he didn’t cherish it at the beginning and directly turned on hell mode in the game.

Still, there were benefits to being in the Sigta Empire.

This place was richer than the Roland Empire and had a much higher level of technology. Connecting to the Star Network was a standard for every household.

So during the year he spent on Sigta Star, Super Invincible Commander also came into contact with the Star Network and had the honor of witnessing the Genius Competition.

He was completely stunned when he learned he could play holographic games on Sigta Star.

Playing holographic games in a holographic game was great!

Therefore, his strength improvement in Starry Sky Age was slow but it had its fun moments.

The gameplay of the Star Network was enough for him to play for years without getting bored. After all, everyone had their own pursuits in a game. They didn’t necessarily have to pursue being the strongest.

It could be said that his understanding of the interstellar world was ahead of millions of players and he was the first player to come into contact with it.

This attracted enough traffic for him.

The income from live broadcasting was stable, so he was reluctant to give up such a good advantage.

Regarding the Genius Competition, it was a topic discussed by the whole nation and it was hard for him to not know about it.

It was also through the perspective of Super Invincible Commander that players found out–

Oh, it turned out that the NPCs had so many activities behind their backs! Unfortunately, they couldn’t step foot on other planets except for Bewatt Star.

Just the information obtained in advance through Super Invincible Commander was enough to attract them. It also made people feel how awesome Starry Sky Age was as a game.

Without Xu Sili knowing, the players were actually watching the Genius Competition with him.

Therefore, the name of Guardian had accumulated considerable popularity among players.

Everyone agreed that this would be a very important NPC in future versions of the game.

However, after the results of the competition came out, the jaws of the players following the competition dropped in shock.

F*k, this Guardian turned out to be one of their own!

Roland’s Guardian!

Look at this name!

The players’ sense of collective honor instantly exploded. They felt an even higher sense of belonging to the Roland Empire’s faction.

Roland might be lagging behind now, but the future was promising!

Obviously, this future would be created by braves like them.

Stimulated by this, the players were advancing exploring the map even faster.

It was because according to the analysis, it was only after all the maps on Escher Star were opened that the interstellar map would be opened. Then they could officially set foot in the interstellar space!

On this day, Super Invincible Commander once again used his amazing skills to capture a star thief hiding in the city.

The only difference from the past was that he actually triggered a hidden mission here with the star thief!

This really made him excited.

F*k, he finally got a decent mission on Sigta Star!

“I want to meet the royal family of Sigta! I have information about the Roland Empire!”

The star thief shouted, “Sigta is colluding with Roland now… No, they are allied. The royal family of Sigta will be interested in this information!”

“I’m willing to trade this information for my freedom!”

“Information about the Roland Empire?” Super Invincible Commander concealed his excitement and said calmly, “Tell me about it. I’ll see if this information is important enough to save your life!”

The star thief gritted his teeth and whispered, “This information concerns the survival of the Roland Empire!”

“Oh?”

Super Invincible Commander had something in mind while his live broadcast barrage was already filled with ‘wows.’ However, after training in the game for so long, his acting skills had improved significantly.

Therefore, he still had a very calm expression on his face as if he wasn’t concerned about this information.

The star thief couldn’t help becoming anxious.

“My words are true!” He said anxiously. “Now that the Roland Empire is prospering, the Sigta royal family definitely won’t want to lose this ally.”

“Take me to the leader of Sigta! He will surely reward you heavily!”

[F*k, is there another plot that we don’t know about?]

[Life or death? So serious?]

[Is this star thief lying? Some NPCs have high IQs. Don’t be fooled!]

Yes, after more than a year of playing the game, many innocent players had the painful experience of being deceived by NPCs.

Of course, the worst one was Super Invincible Commander.

It was because in the Roland faction, the players had the status of a hero and most NPCs were very friendly. It was different in the Sigta faction.

They thought he was from another planet and would just lie to him without any negotiations. In particular, Super Invincible Commander had gained a lot of experience in the process of fighting wits and courage with the star thieves.

Now he wasn’t the same person he was a year ago!

Thus, he didn’t believe this star thief.

“You should’ve been staying on Sigta Star for the past few months, right? How do you know what is going on with Roland? You must be lying to me!”

“No, the information I received is absolutely true!”

Super Invincible Commander shook his head and waved the dagger in his hand. He pretended to be ready to attack.

In fact, he didn’t really want to kill this star thief. He would gain more benefits by tying him up and handing him over to the police.

However, there was nothing wrong with scaring him.

The star thief was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

“No no no, don’t be impulsive!”

He originally wanted to find the ruler of Sigta and use this information to obtain a gold medal of immunity from death, allowing him to leave this hellhole called Sigta.

Now he found out that he might die before that!

“I will tell you this information if you let me go. Then you can use this information to exchange for a reward from the ruler of Sigta. It will definitely be more cost-effective than killing me!”

This was what Super Invincible Commander had been waiting for.

He pretended to think for a moment before saying, “Why don’t you tell me what the specific information is first? I’ll think about it.”

The star thief was obviously unwilling, but he heard the other person say, “Even if you don’t want to say it, I have plenty of ways to make you speak.”

His dagger slowly moved across the star thief’s body.

“Do you know how our people force confessions?” He looked at the prompts from his ‘think tank’ in the barrage and whispered like a devil.

“For example, be cut into pieces. This means using a dagger to cut off pieces of your flesh one by one with a thousand cuts.”

“During this process, you won’t die. You can only watch as your flesh and blood disappear bit by bit…”

Before Super Invincible Commander could finish speaking, the star thief collapsed and begged for mercy. “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!”

The audience in the live broadcast room felt that this was really exciting.

[F*k, can you threaten NPCs in the game?]

[The host’s acting skills are really good. It is improving rapidly!]

[So exciting. I want to play like this too!]

[Then you had better be cautious. If you specifically do bad things in Roland’s faction, be careful that your reputation will be deducted.]

For example, players who had caused trouble previously in the Sprite World were now doing labor reform in the dungeon. If they didn’t do labor reform, they would have to go to jail. How miserable.

But soon, the information revealed by the star thief made the audience forget about the previous topic.

“The third largest star thief organization, Clive, has come out in full force. It is gathering all its forces to prepare for an attack on the Roland Empire!”

Super Invincible Commander was stunned, but he still couldn’t help feeling doubts.

“How do you know that?”

“Clive is making such a big move. Naturally, our Blood Dance must notice!”

In fact, the description of this star thief was more exaggerated.

He only knew that Clive was taking action against the Roland Empire, but he didn’t know the specific information. Of course, he didn’t know that he had guessed it right by accident.

Super Invincible Commander took it seriously and asked, “Is this Clive organization very strong?”

“Of course! They are only slightly inferior to us, Blood Dance. They have at least four battleships and thousands of mechas!”

“Roland is such a weak nation. If you don’t ask for help now, it will be too late!”

TL Note: I know that I’ve been changing between spiritual strength/mental strength. To try and keep it consistent, I am going to be calling it mental strength from now on. Hopefully, I remember this haha.
