"A Gene engineer opened a space bar here."
1. Continue…"
The scene shifts, and the camera switches to a view directly facing the bar.
Behind the bar, on a sturdy iron rack, besides some slender-necked glass bottles filled with drinks of various colors, there's also an old poster of a human beauty.
This beauty has neat, short blonde hair, a fully transparent glass helmet, tight black leather boots and gloves, and holds a sexy red energy weapon. She leans back in a charming pose, giving a sweet and generous smile to the customers at the bar.
Several glass bottles in front of her emit a strong blue light, making one wonder what kind of drinks they contain.
The Enji engineer with a mechanical prosthetic hand is still slowly wiping glasses. He looks up and says:
"Welcome. What would you like to drink? I recommend Quantum Cola. It has twice the calories, carbohydrates, caffeine, and kick of Nuka-Cola, and it's very popular among interstellar mercenaries."
Yellow-haired Lin Fan: "Uh… is that the blue sparkly one? It looks cool, but if I may ask, does it have any special ingredients?"
"Oh, nothing much, just a little mildly radioactive strontium isotope. Want to try it? Or would you like something else?"
Lin Fan almost spat out his drink: "That's nothing much? Drinking that would definitely kill you, right?"
Yellow-haired Lin Fan: "Thanks for the offer…
1. Give me a bottle. (Waste -5)
2. Are there any missions I can take?
3. I want to trade.
4. Leave."
Lin Fan's eyes lit up: "So, you can trade at the bar? And take missions? The scrap I've been saving can finally be put to use."
First, he selected the third option, and the trading interface appeared.
Although fuel can also be obtained through combat, you can never have too much. Three credits each, buy, buy, buy!
He wasn't short on missiles for now, but he still bought two as a precaution.
He also repaired the ship to restore it to its best condition.
"Hmm… a flame beam, doesn't cause direct damage, but has a high probability of setting enemy ships on fire? Doesn't seem very useful, let's sell it."
After Lin Fan sold a weapon he had seized from a pirate battle to the boss, he checked out the crew members he could hire.
The first was a Mantis with four legs and a pair of gleaming scythe blades, a light green skin, and an inverted triangle head, looking very fierce, priced at 43 scrap.
[Name: Kevin (Mantis)]
The Mantis live in star systems with generally harsh environments. To compete for limited resources, they have evolved a fierce combat ability surpassing other races and are natural warriors.
Race Trait: +50% Melee Damage, +20% Movement Speed, -50% Repair Speed.
Health: 97
Specialty: None
Lin Fan thought to himself: "There's melee damage? Does that mean there will be boarding battles later? Then I feel like hiring a crew member who is good at combat is quite necessary, bought!"
The second was a sturdy human female who looked like she could arm-wrestle a bear, priced at 40 scrap.
[Name: Qiao Biluo (Human)]
Humans are widely distributed in the galaxy, and their qualities in all aspects are mediocre, making them an ordinary and uninteresting race.
Race Trait: Humans can accumulate experience faster in battle and improve their specialities.
Health: 123
Specialty:
[Tank]: Has received special training in withstanding hits, is thick-skinned and can survive longer in fierce battles, +20 Health.
Lin Fan bought her immediately: "This one is awesome too! It's the first time I've seen a crew member with a specialty."
The third was a Stone race composed of many blue stones, with light shining from their eyes and mouth, giving a solid and heavy feeling, priced at 47 scrap.
[Name: Ston (Stone Race)]
The Stone Race is a race mutated by cosmic rays. Their skin is covered with hard stones, they possess great strength and resistance to hits, and can survive in high-temperature magma, but their movement speed is slow.
Race Trait: +50% Health, -20% Movement Speed, Fire Immunity.
Health: 158
Specialty: None
Lin Fan: Buy!
After hiring all three crew members here, Lin Fan had little scrap left.
Closing the trading interface, the Enji bar owner said: "Thank you for your patronage."
Returning to the selection interface, he chose the second option this time, asking about missions.
As for the drinks the boss recommended… forget it.
He finally had a smooth start, what if he accidentally killed someone? He'll let the Stone race crew member try it next time he encounters a bar.
After all, they are a race born from radiation, so they shouldn't be afraid of it.
So, yellow-haired Lin Fan said: "Hey, boss, do you have any missions here?"
Boss: "Let me see… oh, a group of merchants is hiring reliable mercenaries to escort them to a designated location. The reward is 30 scrap. Do you want to accept it?
1. I'm on it.
2. I'll think about it."
Lin Fan chose to accept, so the boss said: "I have marked the location of the planet on the map, good luck."
Lin Fan opened the star map and looked at it. It was not far from the current location, and could be reached with three jumps.
Although it would be a bit of a detour from the mission location to the star field's exit beacon, he should be able to get there before the Rebel's red range expands.
Warp!
Against the dark, lightless, and dim-starred deep space background was a sickly, sandy-yellow, lifeless-looking planet.
Lin Fan frowned slightly. For some reason, he had a slight instinctive aversion to this planet.
The ship approached the planet's orbit, and a blurry image was transmitted from the scanner. In the air, amidst the dark yellow dust, densely packed skyscrapers rose from the ground, their appearance unclear, like silent mountains.
The ship continued to descend, and Lin Fan looked at the slightly revealed appearance of the skyscrapers, somewhat surprised and uncertain: "Why does it feel a bit crooked when viewed up close? Like a rough little cube stacked up, what kind of building is this?"
However, the next moment, when he saw the true appearance of these "skyscrapers" through the ship's porthole, Lin Fan couldn't help but be shocked.
This was not a skyscraper at all, but a huge mountain of garbage!
Garbage covering the mountains and plains, yellow dust in the air, continuous huge garbage mountains, desolate and bleak, lifeless.
The sky was a vaguely reddish dark yellow, looking very dull and oppressive, giving people a feeling of difficulty breathing.
Lin Fan was all too familiar with this kind of sky. This was the prelude to a huge sandstorm.
When he was a child, he lived in Xuanzhou, which was close to the vast Gobi Desert. The land was barren, dry, and water-deficient, and the vegetation was sparse. Sandstorms were commonplace, and the house had to be cleaned frequently, otherwise, it would be covered in a layer of dust.
However, in the depths of that Gobi, a group of people, after decades of persistent afforestation, silently built a green Great Wall, and the environment has greatly improved compared to the past. Sandstorms are now rarely seen.
Lin Fan had a little thought outside the game: "Perhaps, this planet is the end result of not paying attention to the ecological environment? A beautiful home turns into a huge garbage dump, and people can only be forced to migrate to other planets."
