Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1061: ‘Pleading for Mathematics and Aerospace Bosses to Join the Group!’_1 Chapter 1163: Chapter 1061: ‘Pleading for Mathematics and Aerospace Bosses to Join the Group!’_1 Shawn Xu was utterly bewildered.

Since entering the game, he had been constantly on the run, chased by various crises that seemed imminent.

Satellite debris, spaceship annihilation, the sudden death of teammates, oxygen alarm, space station fire, engine damage, off-course orbit…

All kinds of problems emerged endlessly, leaving him no time to think.

If not running away, he was preparing to run away…

Auto-save was doing the saving, giving him no chance to hop around between different mission checkpoints.

He was driven by the plot from space back to Earth.

But now, the top posts in the community tell him: those airplanes and space stations, one after another, reduced to wreckage and fireballs, can they really be saved?

Shawn Xu’s first reaction was: “Isn’t this nonsense?!”

Yet, after opening the first post – [Nine Heavens Spaceship Rescue Guide: Must Ignore the Stupid Command Center] – and reading for a while, he had to face reality.

The [Nine Heavens Spaceship] truly was possible to save!

When the game just started, he didn’t shy away from condemning the command center for being idiotic, thinking a random driver pulled from the street could do a better job.

But his complaints only ended up being an oral protest.

Nevertheless, when he was wrestling with the [Communication Card], this passionate poster in the thread had already cursed in the communication channel, “Are you f***ing idiots?!” and marched straight towards the air lock cabin after unfastening his safety rope!

The command center disapproves?

You do your thing, and I’m doing mine, what, are you going to fly to space to bite me?

Your teammates oppose?

You oppose, I retreat.

What, are you going to rush over and have a passionate zero-gravity wrestling match with me?

Therefore, just march forward!

Rush into the spaceship, head for the cockpit, seize the joystick, and directly pull the orbit away!

Of course, to do this, you need to read the [Spaceship Operation Manual] first, then overcome your teammates’ resistance in the cabin – even resort to some violent methods – eventually take the driver’s seat, correctly detach the spaceship from the [Sky Surveying Space Telescope], and fly it to safe orbit.

You also have to practice your piloting skills, of course.

If there’s any deviation at any step, do not hesitate, just suicide!

As long as you rewind the timeline back to the previous save point, you can retry over and over again!

The poster who posted this thread used this method, reloading his save more than sixty times, spending almost 4 hours, before successfully driving the spaceship away from its original orbit.

He not only saved the [Nine Heaven Spaceship], but also saved his four teammates.

In other words, the character Lincoln played -Nick- was saved by him.

After the system auto-saved, he without hesitation, slapped the back of Lincoln’s…

no, Nick’s head!

He made an animation of this slap and posted it in the thread.

According to this poster’s additional comments, the spaceship’s fuel is limited and not enough to directly return to Earth – and he doesn’t want to return directly anyway.

The satellite debris still destroyed most of the communication satellites, cutting off their communication with the ground command center, so their subsequent actions must be very cautious.

He is still cautiously trying, and he will inform everyone about any new progress.

Players who replied to the thread praised the poster’s ideas and actions, and continuously proposed more torturous ideas to “deal with Nick”.

Such as [throw him into space], [make him clean], [give him some big forced fights], [kiss him], [not allow him to wear anything other than a diaper]…

All sorts of mischievous ideas kept coming up, leaving Shawn Xu stunned and looking forward to see more.

Of course, he only looks forward to watching others mess around, he himself wouldn’t do it.

That’s the boss of his boss, and he’s known to be very petty.

If it’s possible to not provoke him, it’s better not to.

Of course, he still needs to try and save him.

Just the thought of leaving Lincoln’s NPC character in the game made Shawn incredibly excited, and moreover…

Such an opportunity was rare!

After sending a [Boss, you’re awesome] reply, Shawn closed the thread and opened the second top thread–

[Hard work pays off!

Save the Tiangong Space Station, you can do it too!]

The person who created this thread was none other than Super Tomato.

The method he used was indeed the one he had demonstrated during his live streaming: experimenting, practicing, and improving his repair and driving skills repeatedly.

Until he had overcome a certain threshold, he was able to push the space station away from its previous orbit, before it was torn apart by debris.

This operation was far more difficult than simply rushing back, seizing control, and driving away the spaceship.

Super Tomato completely gave up on making progress, spending all his time here, repeatedly loading his game and practicing, until dinner time, when he successfully moved the Tiangong Space Station out of harm’s way, avoiding the threat of satellite debris.

He still hadn’t completely repaired the space station – the 7-minute limit was too harsh to allow him to do much repair work.

Super Tomato hadn’t completely fixed any of the malfunctions, he had simply carried out some crude repairs to the most urgent issues, allowing the space station to hold on a bit longer until he could free up some time for detailed repairs.

Relying on this strategy, he finally moved the space station to a safe location.

He didn’t expect to be able to save the International Space Station either, so he now had ample time to slowly figure out how to fix these large and small issues.

After loosely tidying up the scattered leeks, garlic sprouts, potatoes, rice, and tomatoes, Super Tomato went offline to eat dinner.

He composed and posted this thread during his meal break.

Among the top responses to this post, besides various rainbow farts loudly shouting “Awesome!”, there was also a highly upvoted comment in English:

[Why are you people planting vegetables on the space station?]

(Why are you growing vegetables on the space station?)

“?” A question mark slowly formed above Shawn’s head.

He wasn’t surprised about why they were growing vegetables on the space station, instead–

“Why would someone ask such a question?”

Shawn didn’t think this was a question that needed to be answered – when he was on an ocean voyage, he even grew vegetables in his cabin, okay?!

“Hello!

Your noodles and toppings are packaged and ready.”

The boss’s voice interrupted Shawn’s incessant phone tapping.

“Oh, okay.

Thank you thank you.”

Shawn thanked the boss, picked up his large portion of noodles and seven toppings (including five meat dishes and two vegetarian ones), and left the restaurant that was about to close.

Just as he stepped out of the restaurant, he lifted his phone again to check the third top thread.

He could understand the spaceship and Tiangong Space Station, but the International Space Station had already fallen into the atmosphere by the time he boarded it, so he couldn’t comprehend how it could be saved!?

Fortunately, as soon as he opened the thread, the author clarified that the title was clickbait.

It was actually impossible to save the entire International Space Station.

However, as long as you were fast and ruthless, quickly dismantling the International Space Station, discarding most of the cabins, the remaining fuel could still push the core cabin away.

However, the author also stated that this was just a temporary push – his knowledge of spaceflight was quite shallow, he didn’t understand anything about orbits, and it was hard to say whether this part of the core cabin would fall back down after a few orbits around the earth.

Despite this, he was still unanimously praised by everyone.

After all, it was the difference between having something and having nothing.

Shawn didn’t mind the author’s clickbait title at all and promptly expressed his admiration.

Finally, he clicked on the fourth thread that he was very concerned about–

[Expedition to the Mysterious Space Station!

Kneeling for mathematicians and aerospace engineers to join the team!]
