[Wow, this clanker can mock humans too?!]
↳ [Hey, that's offensive words! Stop that!]
↳ [I DONT FUCKING CARE! Clanker! Clanker! Clanker!]
↳ [I'm reporting you. Just you wait!]
↳ [CLANKER! CLANKER! CLANKER!]
↳ [Stop saying that word!]
↳ [WOMP WOMP BITCH! CLANKER CLANKER CLANKER!]
[This place an alien amusement park?!]
The viewers in the stream also chimed in with their mockery one after another. The devs truly were a piece of work; wherever they could make players feel a rush of adrenaline, they would absolutely turn the intensity up to the maximum.
"Can that guy Lucien not make things so over the..." Jenny was also grumbling about Lucien under her breath. But when she lifted her head, she froze on the spot.
Right in front of her was an extremely spacious grand hall. In the center of the hall stood a machine with a bizarre design. Inserted into the top of the machine was a glass tube with a diameter that spanned a full ten meters. The glass tube extended all the way upward, piercing straight into the ceiling.
"Holy crap, this machine looks incredibly high-end! I feel like this might be the control center for this alien cannon!" Holding her breath, Jenny quickly walked over to examine it closely.
At the same time, she scanned it with her scanner.
"Ding. Alien Laser Cannon Energy Core. This device is configured with an extremely complex laser weapon system. Unable to analyze the detailed principles and structure of the weapon."
"This weapon can be used to strike all flying objects within this planet's atmosphere. It is currently in an activated state. According to analysis, this weapon's operational duration has likely persisted for several centuries."
"As expected! The culprit is this alien cannon tower!" Hearing Gaia analysis, Jenny excitedly slapped her thigh. "Whether it was the Dreadnought, the Aurora, or the Fireworks ship, they were all shot down by this thing!"
As Jenny spoke, she carefully observed the energy core. Only then did she discover that this massive glass tube was actually packed with Ion Cubes. Counting them, there were at least a hundred.
"Mm, no wonder this cannon is so ferocious. Look at the Ion Cubes inside here. Holy mother of god, there are so many of them!" Jenny was dumbfounded.
The viewers in the streaming room also broke into a frantic discussion.
[A single one has the power of a small-scale nuclear explosion, and there are actually over a hundred here. Good heavens.]
[No wonder this alien laser cannon is so long-lasting and ferocious. It's because it's channelling so much Energy!]
↳ [No shit sherlock]
[Jenny, quickly check how to turn off this alien laser cannon!]
"Oh, right, let me look!" Jenny also snapped out of it. Right beneath this massive device, she spotted a square structure that resembled a button. Following her usual habit, she scanned it first. By now, Jenny had developed the excellent habit of scanning absolutely anything she encountered before doing anything else.
"Ding. Alien Laser Cannon Shutdown Button. Pressing this button will completely deactivate the weapon system facility.]
"Chat, it seems like this should be the one," Jenny said.
[Then what are you waiting for? Press it!]
[Right, right, right, press it!]
[No, I think we need to guard against a trap. What if the devs' malicious intent is hidden in this? For example, it's a fake button, and pressing it instantly kills the player or sum.]
[Heavens, do you guys really think the devs are that evil? But they really are that evil, I also feel like Jenny needs to play it safe and stay on guard!]
Hearing the comments in the stream, Jenny found it both funny and frustrating, but thinking about it carefully, it actually made sense.
"Then I'll just control the Prawn Suit to press it!" As Jenny spoke, the Prawn Suit's right arm reached out toward the button.
With a buzzing sound!
The next moment, a force field suddenly enveloped the front of the button, blocking the Prawn Suit's hand.
"Huh, I can't press it down." Jenny furrowed her brows. Then, the machine in front of her emitted a continuous humming sound.
"Ding. Transmitting alien language. Translation as follows."
Gaia'svoice rang out again.
"Inorganic matter detected. This weapon system's toggle button requires living matter to operate."
[Living matter... In other words, the player has to manually press it themselves.]
↳ [Captain Obvious. SMH]
[Good heavens, be careful, Jenny!]
The viewers commented.
"Even if there's malicious intent, there's nothing I can do about it. The rules are set this way!" Jenny was also extremely helpless. She could only exit the Prawn Suit, then extend her left hand to press the button.
With a buzzing sound!
That force field appeared once more, but this time it didn't block the button. Instead, it directly trapped Jenny's left hand, rendering her unable to move.
At the same time, a mechanism opened up on the surrounding floor, and a robot crawled out from inside the slot!
This robot was snake-shaped, its head flashing with a green light that seemed to serve as its eyes. It contorted its body, appearing to observe Jenny.
Jenny was also startled. Just as her right hand was preparing to pull out her gun, a sharp needle suddenly popped out from the head of that snake-shaped robot, stabbing straight into Jenny's trapped left arm!!
"Aaaaah!" Jenny shrieked. Although she only felt a wave of coldness in her left arm without any actual pain, the scene itself looked way too terrifying.
This robot came quickly and left just as fast. The next moment, it pulled the needle back out, emitted a humming sound at Jenny, and then retracted back into the floor.
Gaia also rapidly provided a translation.
"Warning: You have been infected by the disease. Infected individuals cannot shut down the Precursor Quarantine Enforcement Platform. A terrifying disease is currently breaking out on this planet, which is in a state of lockdown and quarantine. No organism is permitted to enter or leave this planet."
Only at this moment did the force field trapping Jenny's left hand finally disappear.
Jenny hurriedly pulled her small hand back and examined it carefully. Fortunately, it was fine. Checking her health bar, it hadn't decreased either. It was very obvious that this was a storyline event that bound to happen in the game.
And after experiencing this turn of events, the viewers in the streaming room also came to a sudden realization.
[I get it. That robot just now was giving Jenny a PCR test... Uh, no, it was performing a blood test!]
[And the appearance of this thing also unveils the reason why this alien cannon tower was built!]
[Mm, it seems like there's a highly terrifying disease on this planet. Anyone who sets foot on it will get infected. And to prevent the disease from spreading to other planets, these aliens built an alien cannon tower like this!]
↳ [Are you really that stupid? Do you think we don't know that?]
↳ [Yea, i think you don't understand tha. Since you are so fucking stupid imbecile, your own father is also your brother, i didn't stutter. I mean it!]
↳ [WTF? How do you know that my father is also my brother? Shock]
↳ [Uhm... I'm making that up and didn't expect to guess it right.]
[Man, there's tons of weird people in chat. I'm out!]
