[But the difficulty is probably huge, right? That's a Reaper Leviathan. This aquarium can't possibly fit it!]
[No worries though. Animals all start small and grow up, right? Just raise it from when it's little and get it used to you!]
[I never thought. After enjoying the scenery, piloting ships, building houses, watching fireworks while masturbating, and driving mechs, Subnautica can even let you tame animals!]
↳ [Hol' up.]
↳ AssMan4738 has been permanently banned!
↳ [Ngga js got banned, HAHAHAHAHA!]
↳ SativaEnjoyers has been muted!
[Does watching fireworks count as a feature of Subnautica too!]
[Firework: You got no manners?]
[So what other features does Subnautica even have?]
[All I can say is that devs is too kind. Everything we players can think of and can't think of, they satisfies it all!]
"See that? This is the charm of New World Game Studio!" Benjamin also shouted excitedly. "I can already foresee it. Even after experiencing the story plot once, Subnautica still has enormous replayability. Just this animal taming feature alone, who knows how long we can play with it!"
The viewers naturally agreed completely. Forget about raising animals. Piloting ships and mechs would already keep them busy for a while.
It felt like after buying this game, you could even play it for a lifetime!
"I have to build this aquarium no matter what. Forget about Reaper Leviathans for now. I'll start by raising a Gasopod!" Benjamin said with a smile.
Before this, he had also encountered a Gasopod, and like Jenny, he had been stunned by that name.
But he had also witnessed the terrifying toxin of the Gasopod. It really could corrode all flesh!
If he managed to raise one of these things, tsk tsk, he felt like he would be invincible from then on!
No matter how ferocious a Reaper Leviathan was, it was still flesh and blood after all. And that Warper would also be corroded by the toxin!
Once he successfully tamed it, he could bring a whole group of Gasopod wherever he went. If he ran into a terrifying Reaper Leviathan or something, he could just say. "It's decided. You're the one, Gasopod!"
Then send the Gasopod charging in to fight the Reaper Leviathan, using its super toxin to corrode the Reaper Leviathan away. Tsk tsk, it would be so amazing!
It really felt like Pokemon!
After joking around for a while longer, Benjamin continued forward to the next room. Then he was shocked.
Because this room contained only a massive, imposing machine that filled the entire space.
Benjamin quickly scanned it with his wrist device.
"Ding. Small Nuclear Reactor. Uses uranium to generate powerful energy, sufficient to power a small base for twenty people. Please note that full radiation suits must be worn at all times when operating the reactor. Overclocking the reactor may cause a massive explosion. The manufacturing blueprint for the Small Nuclear Reactor has been obtained."
"Holy shit, they can even make a nuclear reactor!" Seeing this huge thing and hearing Gaia's words, Benjamin couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
[Awesome! Is this a nuclear reactor?"
[Damn, the Aurora crew is this strong? Hand-crafting a nuclear reactor!]
[It's not really hand-crafted. They used 3D printing technology, right?]
[But it's still awesome! Who in the modern world can just whip out a nuclear reactor like that?!]
[While my brother's at work, I'll rail my sister-in-law to orgasm]
↳ [Ts is so random, im crine.]
↳ [Are u deadass?]
↳ [Bro really woke up and decided to comment his worst thought online, keep that in the drafts next time.]
↳ [Some thoughts are supposed to stay inside your head... This was one of them]
[All I can say is the technology of the future world. We modern humans can only look up to it.]
"Now that nuclear reactors are here, I realize this game lets us build pretty much anything." Benjamin sighed as well. After crossing this room, he continued to the other rooms and scanned blueprints for some basic items like bookshelves, potted plants, and green walls.
These things were mostly not very useful. It wasn't until Benjamin entered the final room that he found a bed and some nightstands. It was clearly a bedroom.
Benjamin's heart stirred. He began rummaging through the nightstands. Usually, you could find some important information here. Sure enough, soon he found that familiar recording device in the first drawer of the nightstand.
[Another recording device. Did the Aurora crew move again?]
[No way. We're already eight hundred meters deep. Where else could they move to?]
[Whatever. Let's just open the recording device and listen first!]
↳ [No shit sherlock!]
[Ok, let's listen now!]
Amid the urging of the viewers, Benjamin opened the recording device.
"Hello, anyone hearing this recording. My name is Marianna J. Grantham. I am the captain of the Aurora, the ship from our nation." This time, it was the same female voice from the previous recording device, but her voice sounded very weak and serious.
"Ever since we moved here from the island, we built this underwater base. We thought we could hold out for a long time, but it wasn't long before we discovered that everyone had been infected by a mysterious bacterium. Those infected first feel an itch on their skin, then weakness in their limbs, and finally respiratory failure leading to complete death."
"After testing, we concluded this is an alien bacterium. We were likely infected the moment we first entered the seawater. With our current technology, there is still no treatment method."
"Besides that, there's something even worse. We've also been attacked by monsters called Warpers. They seem to specifically hunt us outsiders who are infected with the bacterium. Unfortunately, all the other crew members have already died at the hands of the Warpers except for me."
Benjamin grew more and more horrified as he listened. He finally understood why he had been attacked by the Warper just now!
He must have been infected with this bacterium too, which is why the Warper had set its sights on him!
Captain Marianna's voice continued. "I suspect these Warpers have some connection to the aliens who built that alien facility on the island. That's why, in the time I have left, I searched with all my might and finally discovered an alien key at the bottom of the sea. It should be able to open the force field door to that alien facility on the island."
"But when I tried to take the alien key to investigate, the disease fully erupted throughout my body. I can't go anywhere anymore. I can only lie in bed waiting for death."
"So I can only leave this recording, the alien key, and my two most important tools in the drawer. I hope those who come after can follow my clues to find the true path out of here and return to Earth."
"That's all. Keep going, those who come after. Even if you've already been infected with the disease, do your best to stay alive."
The recording stopped abruptly there. After listening to this recording, everyone, including Benjamin and all the viewers, fell silent.
Their hearts all felt an indescribable deep shock!
It was several seconds before any comments floated across the stream chat.
[Just as we expected, the Aurora crew all died. But this way of dying is really beyond our expectations!]
[Who could have thought this world actually has such a severe bacterium!]
[Why do I suddenly feel a bit sad?]
↳ [Suck dick when your sad.]
↳ KyubiUzu has been permanently banned!]
[This last message really sounds so shocking, but at the same time so moving!]
[Yeah, even though she couldn't save herself, the Aurora captain still wanted to help those who came after.]
[That damn devs really designed this plot to be both brilliant and heart-wrenching!]
[That devs, starting to stab us with knives again!]
[This knife really hits hard, one after another!]
[Even though I haven't seen the Aurora captain, just hearing her voice, I still want to say, I admire her!]
↳ [Heh, simp!]
↳ [I'm gay tho.]
↳ [My bad]
[Never thought the plot would be this full of twists and turns.]
Benjamin also sighed. He then opened the second drawer of the nightstand. There, he indeed found a metal object the size of a pencil case, glowing with green light, with a pattern resembling the character Swastika engraved on it.
This must be the key the captain mentioned.
Benjamin took out his wrist device and scanned it.
"Ding. Alien Key. Manufactured from some unidentified special metal. Used as a switch for certain alien devices. Unable to obtain the manufacturing blueprint for this item."
Gaia voice came through.
"Looks like this is indeed the key that can open that alien facility." Benjamin nodded.
Next, he opened the third drawer. Inside were two tools of different shapes.
One looked like a hair dryer, cylindrical overall, while the other resembled a welding gun more.
Benjamin first scanned the weapon on the left that looked like a hair dryer.
"Ding. Repulsion Cannon. Allows the user to control gravity in a small area within a 20-meter range. Commonly used in construction and mining operations to move heavy objects. The manufacturing blueprint for the Repulsion Cannon has been obtained.
Usage Guide:
Pull the trigger to lock onto the target.
Pull the trigger again to propel the object away at high speed. It cannot affect items with excessive mass. Not recommended for use on living beings, as it goes against ethics."
