Chapter 1

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the extremely dark universe.

A small spaceship was quietly parked in the endless void.

“Where is this?”

Grimm stood on the spot with a dumbfounded expression, somewhat nervous.

He was originally sleeping at home, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he appeared on this small spaceship.

The space of the spaceship was somewhat narrow. Through the window at the side, Grimm could clearly see that there were some space junk floating around. In the distance, there were also some boxes that had a metallic luster.

Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by the spaceship’s control screen.

[ Cosmic survival guide: If you want to survive here, read the contents below carefully. ]

[ Survivor, in the dangerous universe, the spaceship base is your only home, but the spaceship is in a state of damage, so please fix it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when danger comes, you won’t be able to deal with it! ]

[ The threats you may face include starvation, meteorite impacts, slaughter robots, and even encountering an unknown space civilization. You have 50 basic energy points. Make good use of it to strengthen your spaceship base. ]

[ Important reminder: one death means real death! ]

“All of this is real?”

Grimm was a little anxious. He was sure that he was awake and not dreaming.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in Grimm’s consciousness, followed by a caption synchronized with the display screen.

[ The global universe survival game has officially begun. The communication channel has been opened! The trading center has been opened! The technological construction has been opened! ]

In an instant, three options appeared in Grimm’s consciousness.

The communication channel option automatically opened.

[ Is anyone there? What’s going on? Why am I in the spaceship when I woke up? ]

[ F*ck! Why is the spaceship broken? The notification asked me to fix it. What the f*ck Am I supposed to fix it with? ]

[ F*ck? A meteorite is coming! The spaceship can’t move. I can’t dodge It! ]

[ Are you okay? ]

[ Already dead? ]

[ Already dead? This is a F*cking game? People will die? ]

The player that was hit by the meteorite did not send out any more messages.

Grimm’s expression was grave. That important notification was right. Players would really die here. In fact, just a minute ago, thousands of players might have already died in the game.

He had to quickly repair the spaceship! Otherwise, it would not be good if he was hit by a meteorite.

If he was lucky, the periphery of the spaceship would be damaged, and worst case scenario, the would be completely destroyed!

The universe was in a vacuum. Once the spaceship was destroyed, Grimm would definitely die.

Grimm decided not to waste time here. He quickly opened the interface of the trading center.

The trading center could trade everything, but there was no currency system, so he could only trade an item for an item.

Grimm clicked on it. The first transaction made his eyes widen.

[ Plastic x 1 trades any food x 1, any fresh water x 1]

[ Message: I’m hungry and thirsty. Give me some food and fresh water! ]

What a joke!

It would be strange if this transaction could be done!

Now everyone was in an empty space. Apart from 50 basic energy points, there was nothing else.

Even if some players got food and fresh water, it was impossible to trade with them. In this environment, nothing was more precious than food and fresh water!

“Right! Let’s take a look at the technology construction interface first!”

Opening the technology construction interface, a construction list refreshed.

[ Alloy spaceship building materials: 5 basic energy points, normal alloy x 10]

[ High-energy pulse cannon: 10 basic energy points, dense alloy X 20, mechanical module X 5]

[ Nuclear power engine: 20 basic energy points, dense alloy X 20, mechanical module x 10, energy ore x 5]

[ Small nuclear power station: 20 basic energy points, dense alloy X 20, mechanical module X 5, energy ore X 5]

…

Looking at the rows and rows of clustered manufacturing options, Grimm understood the survival method of this game.

He needed to build various facilities to strengthen the functions of the spaceship to ensure his survival.

After a brief inspection, the alloy spaceship’s building materials were used to expand the internal space of the spaceship. The pulse cannon could be used to attack the enemy, and it could also be used to attack meteorites to obtain various minerals in the meteorites.

Not to mention the nuclear engine. As long as this thing was built, his spaceship would have the ability to move.

However, at present, the spaceship only had 50 points of basic energy, which was not enough. Therefore, he had to build a small nuclear power station first to provide the spaceship with continuous energy.

But the problem was that he did not have the materials either!

Grimm looked at the floating materials outside the window, then looked at the control panel of the spaceship and found a joystick controller.

He walked closer and took a look. A notification appeared.

[ Hint: Mechanical Claw Controller. Each time you capture materials, you will consume 1 point of basic energy. You can flip the joystick and capture the floating materials in the universe. However, do not randomly grab the floating robots. They may attack you! ]

“I see!”

Grimm smiled and held the joystick tightly. He was about to operate the mechanical claw when he suddenly heard an unfamiliar notification sound.

[ Ding! The system has activated the 100-fold amplification check-in! ]

[ Ding! Check-in successful. Obtained ultra-long-distance mechanical claw x 1! ]

[ Ding! Ultra-long-distance mechanical claw has received a 100-fold amplification! ]

[ Ding! Obtained high-speed automatic mechanical claw x 1! ]

“This… a reward after checking-in? And there was 100-fold amplification?”

Before Grimm could react, he heard a new notification.

[ Ding! Do you want to install the high-speed automatic mechanical claw now? ]

“Install!”

Grimm smiled. With such a good thing, what was the point of not installing it?

As he chose to install it, flashes of white light appeared at the bottom of the spaceship. It looked as if it was welding equipment.

At the same time, the joystick on the console disappeared and was replaced by a small display screen. The display screen displayed the scene captured by the front-end camera of the high-speed automatic mechanical claw.

In less than a minute, the installation of the new mechanical claw was completed.

Grimm approached the console and the introduction of the device popped up.

[ High-speed automatic mechanical claw ]

[ Introduction: It can capture materials at a high speed. The capture distance is long and the speed is faster, but the consumption of energy is greater. Each capture consumes 5 basic energy points! ]

“My God!”

“The consumption has increased by five times!”

Grimm calculated. With this consumption speed, he could only capture 10 times before he ran out of energy!

The problem was, he still had to leave 20 energy points to build a small nuclear power plant!

“DAMN!”

“A dead end?”

“How can I gather so many materials after capturing 6 times?”

Just when Grimm felt that he was cheated by the system, he suddenly saw a metal box floating in the universe. It was slowly approaching.

“There must be more materials in the box. Take a gamble!”

Grimm had no other choice now. He gave an order to the high-speed automatic mechanical claw.

“Capture the Metal Box!”

After the order was given, the mechanical claw quickly extended toward the target. It skipped over the basic materials and directly grabbed toward the metal box dozens of meters away.

As the mechanical claw made a grab action, the metal box was quickly pulled back.

In the next moment, a notification appeared.

[ You have captured a space treasure chest x 1! ]

[ Acquired: Dense alloy x 2! ]

[ Acquired: Mechanical Module X 1! ]

[ Acquired: Energy Ore X 1! ]

Looking at the resources that he had obtained, Grimm was not happy at all. These few resources were simply not enough!

Even if he could capture a space treasure chest every time in the future, he still would not be able to gather enough resources to create a small nuclear power station. Moreover, there was only one treasure chest nearby.

“F*ck!”

“This is too f*cking hopeless!”

Grimm thought that he was destined to die from exhaustion of energy, and his face was gloomy.

But right at this time, the system notification sounded.

[ Ding! The 100-fold increase has taken effect! ]
