The viewers in the chat were also madly roasting. For a moment, everyone was full of resentment toward the Developers.
Even though they knew it was just a game and these monsters could not actually hurt them or even cause any pain, the psychological pressure was way too much!!!
They still vaguely remembered that before the devs released this game, he had clearly said it was a very warm and healing experience.
And the result?!
Healing? More like depression-inducing!
"Chat, I have made a decision for the future. When I play this game, I am just going to wear a diaper, okay?!" Jenny spoke up again with a lingering fear on her face. She was not joking. After all, she really had gotten scared enough to pee herself earlier.
She had thought her little brother had turned over a new leaf, but he had only doubled down!
After resting on the deck for a while, Jenny finally calmed down and steadied her nerves.
No matter what, at least she had gotten past the immediate crisis.
"But now there is a serious problem. The Seamoth got destroyed by the Ghost Leviathan. How am I supposed to leave this place?"
As Jenny spoke, she felt a headache coming on. Her means of leaving was gone, and there was still a Ghost Leviathan waiting for her in the ocean.
It felt like she was going to be trapped on the Aurora.
[Jenny, stop thinking about that. Just explore the Aurora first.]
[Yeah, there are definitely plenty of resources here that can help you leave.]
[You have to believe in the devs. Even though their games are all perverted and terrifying, based on past experience, they always leaves players a way out. they would never leave players with zero ability to fight back.]
[That is true. Their games have always been very well designed.]
"Mm, you guys are right." Jenny agreed with those words. She pulled herself together. "Then let us keep moving forward."
Jenny turned and continued walking toward the upper deck. She felt a wave of scorching heat.
The Aurora was extremely damaged at this point. Both sides of the deck were filled with burning scrap metal. Only a narrow path remained ahead.
"Detected low structural integrity on the Aurora's hull. Collapse may occur. Please watch your step, beautiful girl." Gaia's prompt sounded.
Jenny immediately became much more cautious. She noticed many supply crates scattered across the deck. When she opened them, she found most contained purified water and various foods, enough to last a player a very long time.
"Ding. Scan shows trace amounts of human tissue detected nearby."
At that moment, Gaia's voice came again.
"Human tissue? Oh my god."
Jenny instantly felt a chill run down her spine. She knew exactly what that meant.
It seemed quite a few people had died in this crash.
After all, this aircraft carrier was so massive. It must have carried quite a few crew members. At least a hundred, right?
It was not haunted, was it?
Jenny glanced around suspiciously, then immediately felt she was overthinking. This was a futuristic sci-fi world, not Silent Hill PT.
Soon, the path ahead was also blocked by raging flames. Jenny looked left and right and saw that most areas had become complete ruins, radiating intense heat. There was no way through.
But soon she spotted a large hole smashed into a nearby wall and quickly ran inside. The temperature dropped sharply. Jenny entered an indoor area of the Aurora. It was a fairly small room with metal walls all around and rows of cubicles.
The room showed signs of severe fire damage, but the flames had already burned themselves out.
"Huh, the layout here looks kind of familiar."
"Is this a bathroom?"
"I feel like it is too." Hearing the viewers' guesses, Jenny answered. She opened one of the cubicles and was greeted by a small ceramic device.
v even scanned it with her wristband.
"Ding. Smart toilet. Integrates flushing, waste processing, and extraction functions. Smart toilet crafting blueprint acquired!"
"It really is a bathroom!" Jenny complained. 'Lucien, this guy. So many facilities on the Aurora got destroyed, but he specifically left the toilets intact. Such bad taste.'
The viewers actually laughed.
[This toilet sounds pretty high-end. It has so many functions, especially that extraction function. That one really confuses me!]
[Cough cough, Jenny, go take a dump and try it out.]
[Yeah, this is a four-hundred-years-in-the-future high-tech toilet. Using it must feel amazing!]
"Amazing my ass. Are you guys insane? This is inside a game!" Jenny flatly refused. After all, it was a game. It did not count as real. If this were reality, she might actually want to try it. Take a wild shit or something.
"Whatever, whatever. Let us go check out somewhere else."
No longer letting her mind wander, Jenny left the bathroom and arrived at a fairly spacious hall.
The hall was still burning, but the fire was not big. Jenny casually grabbed a fire extinguisher hanging on the wall and completely put out the flames.
The hall was also a mess, filled with the stench of burning. Items were scattered everywhere in disarray.
Here,Jenny once again scanned many blueprints.
"Automatic symphony performance blueprint acquired."
"Card battle disk crafting blueprint acquired."
"Smart pool table crafting blueprint acquired."
"Looks like this should be the Aurora's entertainment and leisure area." Hearing Chang'e's prompt, Zhou Jie understood. The Aurora was so massive. Having an entertainment area made perfect sense.
She curiously examined everything around her. Unfortunately, most of these things were already damaged and could not be used. Otherwise she really would have wanted to play with them and experience them.
At that moment, Jenny spotted a machine sitting in the corner of the hall.
Everything else was pretty much destroyed, but this machine was perfectly preserved.
Moreover, the machine looked very familiar. It was exactly like the arcade machines she had seen when she was little!
"Huh, is this an arcade machine?!"
Jenny shouted in surprise and quickly walked over.
When she was young she had been quite mischievous and often went to arcades with Lucien. She never expected to find this old relic in a game set in a futuristic world.
[Looking at the appearance, this really is an arcade machine!]
[Haha, a relic like this suddenly appearing in a future world. This must be an easter egg the devs designed!]
[Definitely. The devs loves putting easter eggs in their games!]
[Jenny, hurry and see if you can play it!]
Without needing the viewers to remind her, Jenny recalled how arcade machines worked. She grabbed the joystick with one hand and the buttons with the other.
Soon, the machine's screen lit up with four large characters: Dino Fighter!
"Dino Fighter? Chat, this actually looks playable!"
As Jenny spoke, she pressed the B button. The game quickly entered the character selection screen. There were four characters to choose from.
The viewers were all shocked by this scene.
[Wow, it really works?!]
[But what is this Dino Fighter game? I have never heard of it.]
[I have not heard of it either. Could this also be an original arcade game made by the devs?!]
With an eager heart, Jenny chose the guy in the green outfit and yellow hat as her character, then entered the game.
The screen shifted. On a rooftop, the yellow-hatted character Jenny had chosen was surrounded by enemies. The next moment she could freely control the character.
She moved the joystick and pressed the buttons. The surrounding enemies immediately screamed as Jenny sent them flying with the little yellow hat!
"This is actually pretty fun!" Jenny thought with admiration. She controlled the yellow hat forward, beating up enemies while also figuring out the yellow hat's ultimate move.
"Holy shit, this move is great. Flying kick!" She quickly figured out the yellow hat's skills and kept exclaiming.
Soon, Jenny reached the first stage boss. The first stage boss was a burly man with a dinosaur. Jenny fought the two of them with great enjoyment.
This scene also made the viewers in the chat feel their blood boil.
[No way. The devs is actually this talented? They even designed another game inside the game?]
[Four selectable characters, beautiful graphics, lots of enemy types, and a boss fight every stage. This is a fully polished arcade game!]
[You don't have to say it. Watching Jenny play, the combat feel is actually pretty satisfying!]
[Haha, I give the devs full marks for this easter egg!]
[I never thought I would one day watch a streamer play a game inside a game!]
This was what players loved about the devs. Even though they loved messing with players, the games they made were truly impeccable.
Even a tiny easter egg was this polished!!!
'The devs could abuse me a thousand times, and I would still treat him like my first love!'
Jenny could not stop playing once she started. She played for more than twenty minutes straight and reached the second stage boss, the fat guy with dual blades. But after trying several times and switching through every character, she still got cut down by that boss. She had no choice but to give up.
"This arcade game is really nice!" Jenny said with admiration. She still felt like she had not had enough. "Chat, from what I can tell, this game is definitely beatable. It is just that I am bad at it. When you guys reach this part, see if you can clear it!"
[Sure, sure. I will log in later and try this Dino Fighter!]
[But before that, you have to make sure you do not get eaten by the Ghost Leviathan!]
[That really is a problem!]
The viewers all sighed. This easter egg of playing a game inside a game was not something you could trigger so easily. After all, you had to successfully board the Aurora first.
"Let's keep searching the next area."
Jenny said reluctantly. After bending down to cross through a doorway blocked by obstacles, she found a staircase leading down, though half of it was already submerged in seawater. "The Ghost Leviathan probably cannot swim into a place like this, right?"
With that uneasy feeling, Jenny jumped into the water.
Jenny did not move immediately. Instead, she listened carefully. Only after confirming there were no Ghost Leviathan roars nearby did she continue forward.
Ahead was a long corridor. At the end was a fork leading left and right.
Jenny went left first. The terrain gradually rose and was no longer submerged. She returned to dry land.
In front of her was a room.
After entering the room, Jenny's eyes lit up. The room was very spacious and familiar. It was similar to the room where she had found the Seamoth last time!
Three words were still written on the wall: Vehicle Bay!
"Vehicle Bay?!" Seeing those two words, Jenny instantly got excited and eagerly walked inside.
She knew exactly what those two words meant.
Sure enough, the moment she entered, she saw two Seamoths parked in the center of the room. On top of the counter above, there also seemed to be a robot embedded!
The robot was about four meters tall, with an overall silvery metallic glow and a transparent protective shield like glass embedded in its chest.
[Holy shit, is that a robot?]
[It really looks like a robot!]
[They have already made robots?! Future technology is awesome!]
Seeing such a robot, the viewers in the chat all got excited too!
Jenny felt the same. She ran over and scanned it with her wristband.
"Ding. Prawn Suit. A nano waterproof suit series using pressure-activated regeneration technology. This device is designed to protect the operator and allow survival in extreme environments.
The armor can completely isolate the wearer from the external environment. Its powerful hydraulic limbs provide immense power. Its strong propulsion system grants excellent mobility. Prawn Suit crafting blueprint acquired."
The moment Gaia finished speaking, every single viewer in the chat went wild:
[What the fuck! This is not a robot. It is a mech suit!]
[Holy shit, a powered mech. Is this for real?!]
[This is way too much of a surprise. We can actually pilot a mech!]
[This is so fucking cool. I am so hard right now.]
↳ [Ey yo, what?]
↳ [IYKYK]
↳ [ngl, same]
[Jenny, stop standing there! Hurry up and put it on and try it!]
[Prawn Suit:]
Most of the viewers in the chat were male, and without a doubt, mechs were a man's romance. They were even more attractive than womens!
Without needing the chat to say it, Jenny quickly ran over. "Gaia, gaia, I want to pilot the Prawn Suit!"
"No problem. Please press the switch on the back of the Prawn Suit."
Under Gaia's guidance, Jenny pressed the Prawn Suit's activation switch. She saw the Prawn Suit automatically squat down while the hatch on its back opened.
Jenny suppressed her excitement and climbed inside, entering the Prawn Suit.
With a "hum," the hatch fully closed. Zhou Jie immediately felt a strange sensation. She tried moving her body and instantly felt her entire body completely encased in high-density metal, heavy and solid. At the same time, both of her hands gripped small control panels.
"You can control the Prawn Suit using either body movements or buttons." Gaia prompted.
"Then let me stand up and see."
Jenny tried straightening her legs. Sure enough, the Prawn Suit stood up directly. At four meters tall, Zhou Jie now felt like a little giant, looking down at everything around her.
Then she stepped forward with her right foot. The Prawn Suit took a large step forward as well.
[It moved! It moved!]
[It really can be controlled! This game actually lets you pilot a mech!]
[The devs really understands us male players!]
[Fuck it. I have decided. Even if I risk getting eaten alive by the Ghost Leviathan, I am entering the Aurora. This temptation is way too big!]
[Exactly. This is a fucking mech. How can I miss this!]
