"It was planned in advance!"
"Everything was premeditated by the NPC!"
In the base hall, Captain Hamster's speech was loud and clear. He stood on the roof of the Peak 300 and pumped his fist vigorously, like an angry young man making a declaration.
"First eliminate the surrounding enemies in one fell swoop and confirm that we are in absolute safety, then open the communication module to ensure long-distance communication, and finally let us start the expedition!"
"One link after another!"
"It's okay if you're excited. Can you get out of the car first?" The recycled air conditioner stood beside the car and looked at Captain Hamster a little embarrassed, "It's so embarrassing for you to stand in the car and jump around like this."
"What's so embarrassing?" Captain Hamster asked her with wide eyes.
The recycled air conditioner grabbed his trouser legs and pulled him down: "It makes people think that the Sweet and Sour Pork has such a crazy captain, and no new recruits will be willing to join by then."
"……oh."
Captain Hamster stopped his trance, climbed out of the car, sat on the pedal, and said in a low voice:
"You think this is normal, right?"
The recycling air conditioner was puzzled, pulled up his trouser legs and sat down next to him: "Is there anything abnormal about this? In general, the transition from the novice village to the main city is similar to this."
"It's different, it's completely different." Captain Hamster shook his head, "I think this is not a plot that has been set before, but the result of real-time calculations."
"Clam?"
"Do you still remember that Teacher Gale was kidnapped at the beginning? Do you think that was a fixed plot? Obviously not. The game didn't expect that a player would be so rebellious before the start, unless Teacher Gale was the trustee of the Stars Project."
"Teacher Dafeng, it is true that Ken was bribed by the Stars Project..." Recycling Air Conditioner interrupted weakly, "I even suspect that he deliberately posted posts to be a clown to maintain the popularity of the Stars Project."
"Uh, you can't say that." Captain Hamster scratched his head, "Just, those three useless stars couldn't have spawned out of thin air and just happened to catch Teacher Gale... Oops, it's so complicated. It doesn't feel like it when you talk about it like this. Calculated in real time!"
"This development is so natural...I can't explain it." Captain Hamster gradually went crazy and began to scratch his forehead, but finally chose to give up:
"All in all, I think the NPC has a longer-term view than us. He would issue such a task to us at this time. He must have deep meaning."
She looked at him, fearing that he might pull off a piece of her scalp: "Could it be that you think too much?"
Captain Hamster jumped out of the car and patted his butt: "It's better to think more than not to want anything. Let's go, it's time to prepare for the expedition."
"Are we going too?" The recycled air conditioner chased him and jumped out of the car. "They were so fast that they had already set off for a long time!"
It's not too early for them to go online. It's really been a long-term period recently, and they're exhausted from moving bricks every day. The players who came online in the morning were already so depressed that a few of them rushed out screaming for preliminary exploration.
"How could the Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs be lagging behind them?" Captain Hamster was full of confidence. "What's more, if we set off early, how could the progress be so much faster? It doesn't exist!"
"Go offline and call up Han Mengzhou and those who can't talk to you while you're in stealth, and then go find some other NPCs at the base to find out about the situation on the abandoned star."
"Hmm... He shouldn't be used to acting with you guys while sneaking. Let's ask him to exchange ET points for rat meat, stock up on a bunch of canned meat sauce, and then replenish the bullets."
“This is not just a spring outing just hanging out, it’s an expedition!”
Expedition, what does the expedition require? They need food and ammunition supplies. If they don't return to the base to rest, they also need to consider the possible low temperature and radiation. They need a safe place to sleep. After all, as players, they cannot be online all the time.
Thanks to Captain Hamster’s previous investment, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs now has unique advantages:
They have a Pico 300 all to themselves!
Needless to say, the advantages of the Peak 300 such as its own safety and storage capacity are necessary for expeditions. If other teams want to imitate them, they have to pay an additional 40ET points per day.
There is no income from collecting alloys during the expedition. Although the NPC price is low, the cost of carrying five people in this vehicle is 200 ET points per day, which is not a small price.
The recycled air conditioner was extremely efficient. Soon, both Difficult to Talk and Han Mengzhou were online. In Stealth, he occupied the gourmet cooking machine at the base and loaded the jars of meat sauce produced into the car. Han Mengzhou and the recycled air conditioner went to find them separately. Chatting with other NPCs in the base, it didn't take long for them to bring back information.
"Ms. Janet is an outsider. She doesn't have any useful information. She just said that the wild environment of Waste Star is relatively harsh and that you should pay attention to safety."
"But the information Sasha gave is very complete."
“When you are in the wild, be sure to pay attention to weather changes. Although the sky is always gray, you can easily find particularly gloomy areas, where the temperature will be extremely low, which can freeze your body in an instant. "
"These areas are called 'low-temperature clusters', and they tend to wander around at night on the Waste Star. This is one of the reasons why the Waste Star people rarely move at night. You can't notice the change in the sky at all in the dark night."
Sasha is a real waste star. He has been working hard for many years and has many years of experience. He knows these things very well.
His words made Captain Hamster cringe. He had been working in the dark when he had a liver attack before. Although he was not far from the base, looking at this situation, being caught by the moving cryogenic group would mean death.
"If you want to travel far, ensure your own firepower and pay attention to other waste star people. The waste star people don't have good things."
"Bring enough food and water. There is no place to resupply outside. You have to run when it's time to run. It's really a blessing to have a base to back you up."
To sum up, the main point Sasha mentioned is to pay attention to the "low temperature group", and the other hamster captains are making preparations.
He spent ET points to purchase several rifles and pistols and replenished his supply of bullets. The Naqf lightweight machine gun rented out one, and the Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs kept two of them. One was mounted in the trunk and the other was mounted on the roof of the car.
In addition, each member is equipped with a single skateboard that is not necessarily reliable for use in times of crisis.
And just when they were fully prepared and about to set off, Kenneth stood in front of Captain Hamster.
"Cooperate?" Kenneth held out his hand to Captain Hamster in a friendly manner.
"The power of the Peak 300 is limited. I have clues, but it is too inefficient to rely on us to explore alone."
"Do you have any clues?" Captain Hamster narrowed his eyes and couldn't figure out where Kenneth got the information.
"PV." Kenneth said two words briefly.
Captain Hamster immediately understood what he meant.
