Chapter 202 - 202 – A DLC

After the discovery of the mech, I couldn't continue the gameplay. This is a disaster for me because it means that there is a possibility that my save game will be deleted. I can no longer see my colonists, even though they have become a part of my life.

I spent a long time with customer service from Fringe Softwork just to make sure that After the discovery of the mech, I couldn't continue the gameplay. This is a disaster for me because it means that there is a possibility that my save game will be deleted. I can no longer see my colonists, even though they have become a part of my life.

I spent a long time with customer service from Fringe Softwork just to make sure that this incident wouldn't delete my save game. They explained this was a bug because some of the assets of unreleased downloadable content were in the game file. Then, for some reason, that game file appears in the gameplay.

So, the only way is to wait for the DLC to be released.

And that one month of waiting was torturous for me. I wanted all the affairs with the Jia group to be over as soon as possible.

However, even after the DLC titled Mechs and Advanced Technologies was released, I still chose to wait. Not many people have played with the DLC yet, so a comprehensive guide doesn't exist yet.

Now here I am, back to the game, not finding the error window again. The mech's silhouette looked clearer, not just black. The armor was dark green and somewhat dirty, equipped with a machine gun in his right hand and a giant sword slung over his back.

I'm so lucky to have Mermans as Allies.

As soon as I pressed the play button, the dark-armored scout returned to the camp and reported to the leader.

After hearing the scout's story, the leader was frozen for a moment, took a twig from the ground, then approached my people. He also signaled the scout to follow him.

My colonists stared at the mermans who came to them while Miro had just returned from vomiting.

The leader handed the wooden branch he was holding to the scout. The scout nodded and started to draw something on the ground using the stick.

At first, my colonists just watched with curious looks, but then Eric held his breath as the image took shape.

"That …. A mech?" Seb's son hissed.

Manu raises an eyebrow. "A Mech?"

"A giant humanoid war tool made of metal." Eric's lips began to tremble. "That thing is nearly ten meters tall and has insane weaponry. Those firearms you've seen are nothing compared to what this mech carries."

"Giant humanoid warfare tool?" Miro chuckled. "Don't worry, we are together with great merman troops. They can definitely defeat any kind of enemy!"

Eric shook his head. "No. You don't understand, Miro. The mechs had tremendous destructive power. I knew they were on that big expedition ship…. And if someone like Jia can get it... Well, we fucked."

"Then you're saying that we should just leave Kat alone?" Miro responded with a sharp tone. "Isn't she your friend?"

"It's not like that, Miro," Eric answered in a cautious tone. "But, we can't underestimate a mech."

"No matter what, we can't back down, can we?" Leva joined in.

Manu gritted his teeth. "And I have to take revenge for what they did to us."

Eric started massaging his forehead. "Please, listen to me first…."

"Oh, if you have another solution, I'll listen." Smiling sarcastically, Miro folded her arms across her chest. "If you're just going to explain how great the mechs are again, then I'll cover my ears."

"Shut your mouth if you have no other alternative, Eric," I whispered into the man's ear. "Your stories about Mechs are pointless unless you know how to defeat them with the weaponry you guys have now."

And I already have plans for them.

"That…" Eric was speechless.

"Looks like you have no other solution, Eric." Miro insisted. "So, we better rest now. We need good stamina tomorrow."

My colonists dispersed and began to prepare their sleeping bags, leaving Eric, who sighed deeply while looking up at the sky. He then turned to the leader of the merman and the scout who was still standing there. The two half-fish creatures blinked alternately.

I returned to my colonists' homes to check things out. The three merman guards were sleeping outside while one was still holding his spear by the door.

When I entered that building, I found Seb and the king sleeping in different room corners. Seb used his usual sleeping bag while Re'i just lay down on the floor, still wearing his armor.

"Ah, you just checked the merman troop, Mr. Spirits?" Sitting in front of the bonfire, Gwen let out a low sigh. This time he was fully clothed and didn't show off his assets excessively. "How are they doing?"

"Everything looks okay. They are about to reach their destination, it turns out that the Jia group's campsite is not too far away. Maybe tomorrow we can attack them." I answered and sat down next to the blonde haired woman. "So, you're not naked anymore because the king is there?"

"You've seen him without armor, right? It seems he was completely naked every day. He also seemed okay when I went naked to see him. Right now, I still don't feel well, so I hesitate to take off my clothes." Gwen chuckled, then narrowed her eyes at the fire. "At the very least, if I was in the merman kingdom, I could be naked to my heart's content. It seems, for mermans, nudity is commonplace. Well, I'll miss your and the others' reactions."

I was silent for a moment, watching the fire too. "Are you ready for this?"

"No, but what can I do?" Gwen smiled, though her eyes filled with tears.

An urgency suddenly rose within me. Slowly, I brought my face closer to Gwen's. Unlike what happened yesterday with Re'i, Gwen didn't flinch at all. The woman closed her eyes, letting me kiss her lips.

The soft and warm sensation from her lips made me not want to lose Gwen even more.

Minutes passed in silence. I removed my lips from this beautiful woman.

A bitter laugh escaped Gwen's mouth. "Why on this planet do I have to keep dealing with non-human men?"

I rubbed her head. "I'm so sorry." this incident wouldn't delete my save game. They explained this was a bug because some of the assets of unreleased downloadable content were in the game file. Then, for some reason, that game file appears in the gameplay.
