Chapter 1191
Chapter 1191: Chapter 1085 “Wait, You’re Not an NPC?!”_1 Chapter 1191: Chapter 1085 “Wait, You’re Not an NPC?!”_1 Lincoln withdrew, and he did so unabashedly.
– As the boss of the company, his main job is to point everyone in the right direction.
He had already set the direction, and it was the right one – with the revolutionary technology of “Virtual Reality Games” in their hands, he could blindly point in any direction, and it would still be the “right direction”.
Let alone the fact that he wasn’t pointing blindly.
So, he confidently delegated the uninteresting execution tasks to his subordinates.
Anyway, his personal intern was still at the scene documenting everything, so his presence was virtually assured.
Lincoln deserted his girlfriend in the meeting room without any guilt, and went off to slack off with Mavis.
Today was indeed a crucial moment:
If everything goes as planned, the first batch of players should officially arrive at the space station.
– Yi and his gang of door-unlockers are not counted, they could only be considered as illegal immigrants who would need to work at least three days to get a “white card”.
Players arriving with the spaceship, be it in the space station or spacecraft or the escape pod, as long as they successfully land at the spaceport, they would automatically get the “aerospace engineer” identity and a green-colored ID card.
The authority of the “green card” is three ranks higher than the “white card” from the start.
Many key areas completely barred the entry of “white card” holders – no matter how high their Contribution Points were.

Sorry, go on a class change mission and take the aerospace engineer qualification examination!
Yi and his gang were oblivious to the fact that they had been labeled as “stowaways”, and were still laboring away enthusiastically.
Super Tomato, who had insisted on keeping the space station from the very beginning, had already recruited a team early on and persisted in his search for the space station.
Today was his day –
The mysterious space station was becoming larger and clearer before his eyes.
The structure resembled a barbell, with a slim, narrow structure, like a barbell rod, positioned between two enormous ring-like structures.
However, as Super Tomato got closer, he soon realized: that barbell rod was not thin at all!
The illusion of “thinness” was an effect of the vast distance he was observing from.
In actuality, it was a complex structure with thicker middle parts and thinner ends.
It stacked up in ways Super Tomato could barely comprehend, forming one sturdy structure.
Interestingly, it seemed to maintain a wonderful symmetry on the larger structure, making it look quite harmonious.
But a problem arose: as an outsider, Super Tomato couldn’t figure out which position was the correct “login port”.
Even when conserving fuel to the extreme, he was already at his limit.
Now he only had enough for one more trajectory adjustment and decelerating was no longer an option.
So he had to find the “opening” of this giant space station, let his small one “crash” into it, and forcefully login.
This was a life-or-death gamble.
Luckily, he learned a trick from Chasing Wind: slowing down the space station through an explosion, greatly enhancing his chances of survival.
– Although Chasing Wind himself had a tough time, being terrified by Lincoln to the point that “moon-landing” players, few as they were, gave up their moon-landing plans and headed for the space station.
The “explosive moon-landing method” he used provided inspiration for many players.
Super Tomato had already set up the explosives, ready to commence the deceleration phase in the core cabin.
He decided to gamble, aiming for the very middle of the “barbell rod” which was the widest and thickest part.
Even if it wasn’t the right entrance, his chances of survival would be higher.
– He had no choice but to gamble; by the time he could see the correct entrance clearly, it would be too late to adjust his direction.
“Boom!!!”
The airlock cabin exploded instantaneously, violently decelerating and slamming Super Tomato into the air, then heavily back into his seat.
“Hiss…” He rubbed his chest, which hurt from the jolt, preparing to ignite the second bomb circuit.
But at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the space station:
“Calling [Tiangong Space Station]!
Calling [Tiangong Space Station]!
Please cease dangerous activities!
Please cease dangerous activities!”
Super Tomato froze, “Are you calling me?”
He murmured to himself, then immediately turned and dove towards the control panel.
“This is [Tiangong Space Station]!
I’m Super Tomato, who are you?” Super Tomato’s voice was full of excitement.
“This is the spaceport space station, I’ll be providing you with docking guidance now, adjust your course!”
The voice on the other end was very calm and immediately after speaking, a purple laser shot out from the middle lower part of the “barbell”, aimed directly at the space station where Super Tomato was located.
Obviously, that was the correct entrance to the space station.
But Super Tomato didn’t appreciate it at all: “Sorry, my fuel has been depleted, I can’t stop autonomously, if you’re in that position, please avoid collision in advance.”
“No need, please hand over control of your spacecraft, we’ll take over, the support ship has already taken off and will replenish your fuel.”
“After registering your identity information, please come to the Spaceport to clear your fuel cost within a week.”
“No problem!” Without a second thought, Super Tomato handed over control smoothly.
Activities like “docking” and “porting” should be left to the intelligent system; as an amateur astronaut driving by manual, this was obviously beyond his ability scope.
After the control transfer was completed, Super Tomato got some free time: “will I need to assist when the support ship arrives?”
“No need.” The voice replied, the robot would complete the operation autonomously.
“Alright.” Super Tomato sighed with relief once more.
He had not yet studied how to refuel the engine.
“Can I ask the name of this space station?” Super Tomato asked again.
“Well, I don’t know that either.” The voice on the other end replied helplessly.
“?” Super Tomato stood still, “Wait, you’re not an NPC?”
“No, I arrived just two hours before you.” The voice replied.
“Huh?
Why are you managing the spaceport?
Wait!
ƝᴑνǤօ.сο
Isn’t ‘Gravity’ a single-player game?!
Are we connected?” Super Tomato was surprised.
“Yes, ‘Gravity’ is not a single-player game.” The voice on the other end has always been calm, so calm that Super Tomato found it strange.
Isn’t such big news shocking?
The voice on the other end wasn’t done answering: “But to say that we are networking is not quite accurate.”
“Not accurate?”
“Yes, to be more accurate, look outside now, you should see.”
Without a word, Super Tomato released the safety belt, pushed his chair, and thrust himself towards the window, looking out—
One after another, small space stations appeared in front of him, behind him, and on his sides.
Each one of them was a Tiangong Space Station.
And those in the front were being caught by large “spaceships” with robotic arms, changing trajectory, and flying towards the space station.
The closest one among them, Super Tomato even vaguely saw the face behind the window!
“Is this… a public map?!”
“Yes.” That composed voice confirmed his guess.
Super Tomato had thought that he would be among the first batch of players to log in to the space station.
He might not be the first in the world, but he was hopeful for a place within the top 30.
But now, looking at the dense space stations outside and listening to the calm voice over the radio, he finally realized—he had made a big mistake!
The number of big shots in “Gravity” was ridiculously large!
