Chapter 327

Chapter 327. Preparing for a Fun Event Participation. (1)

Of course, since the message wasn’t just visible to me, the gallery was buzzing with lively discussions about this event.

However, unlike previous events, this one strictly limits the ships users can deploy.

And on top of that, if your ship gets destroyed, it can’t be repaired…

Unlike before, where participating in the event was a given and there was a lot of internal event chatter, this time most of the talk is about whether to participate at all.

Something feels off…

If things go wrong, won’t the ships we got from gacha just go boom?

But is there really that much to gain from this event to take such a risk?

Comments:

– [It’s not that bad]

– [The ancient empire event last time was just unusual]

– [Usually, ships or superhumans destroyed in events aren’t repaired]

– [Is that so?] (Author)

Back in the day,

Even if an SSS-class battleship from gacha got blown up by a lucky torpedo from a B-class destroyer, we just shrugged it off, you know?

Comments:

– [-Wrong-]

– [Reported for fake upvotes]

– [If you’re gonna make a joke, stick to one, mixing fake upvotes and old-timer jokes?]

– [If you’re jealous, you go ahead]

– [Shut up]

– [But that’s the charm of this god-tier game, events or not, no repairs after destruction is the norm]

Title: Isn’t the fleet restriction more of an issue than no repairs this event?

By now, users participating in events are at least late stage 7, averaging stage 8,

With fleet points over 800, being told to play with just 200 feels way too limiting.

And they’re saying we can’t use anything above a cruiser battleship?

Isn’t that just straight-up trolling?

Comments:

– [For real]

– [It’s not ‘above’ cruiser battleships, just those ‘exceeding’ them are restricted]

– [Oh, my bad, sorry] (Author)

– [That’s just you being a big gun battleship lover]

– [Honestly, it’s a bit ambiguous, even spamming cruiser battleships is limited to 6]

– [If you only bring cruiser battleships, they’ll get wrecked by small ship ambushes, don’t do it]

– [The balance is pretty decent though]

– [If battleships are included, small ships can’t deal damage to them unless it’s with limited torpedoes or some special monitor ships, right?]

– [Can’t S-class and above ships deal damage?] (Author)

– [Since when are S-class and above ships common?]

– [Author, you don’t get it, even among S-class and above, only those with firepower types can deal damage with their own armaments]

Of course, aside from discussions about participation, exchanges of opinions about the content continued like this.

Anyway, regardless of how the gallery reacted,

I was racking my brains to assemble a fleet for this event.

But when I actually tried to put together a fleet for the event, I realized we had quite a few problems…

“Commander, we don’t really have any ships to deploy this time.”

“…Yeah, you’re right.”

Although recently, ships like the Kraken and Hreðsvelgr have been popping up, making us forget,

But basically, my gacha luck is baaaaaad…

So, as a result of not being able to deploy the mighty Kraken and Hreðsvelgr in this event,

As Jessica said, the number of ships we can deploy for the event has drastically decreased.

Back when we had small ships from the Overseer or the ‘event shop’, this wasn’t such a big issue,

But small ships are…

It’s been a long time since everything blew up along the way.

Even the Overseer disappeared in a grand blaze during the last battle with the Walpurgis Union…

Now, I practically have no gacha ships below the Cruiser Battleship level.

Of course, even if I only bring general-grade ships, there wouldn’t really be a “problem” in running the event.

“Commander, why are you so worried?”

“Hmm… It’s just that I only have general-grade ships for this event, so it’s bothering me.”

“What’s the big deal? Aren’t they all just ships?”

“That’s exactly the problem!”

Jessica didn’t seem to understand my concerns at all.

But I showed her a post that made everything crystal clear.

Title: Guys, I don’t have any gacha ships below Cruiser Battleship level. What do I do?

Author: ㅇㅇ

I have gacha ships for Battleships and Carriers, but the ones I used before were either sold or blown up.

What should I do? Should I try to pull new ones now?

Or just go with general-grade ships?

Comments:

– [You can go with general-grade ships, no big deal.]

– [It’s fine, no one will say anything.]

– [Yeah, no one will say anything, sure… lololololol]

– [It might be better not to do the event at all. General-grade ships have no special abilities.]

– [You’ll probably get shredded by users with gacha ships.]

– [Damn, you’re really trying to lure newbies to boost your stats, huh?]

– [LOL]

– [Look at this guy getting roasted in the comments lolololol]

– [What’s with the weird comments? Can’t I just participate?] (Author)

– [Sure.]

– [Exactly, it doesn’t matter if you do or don’t. But unless you’re really skilled or have great strategies to crush your opponents, there’s no way out.]

Finally, Jessica realized why I was so worried and soon made the same face I had been making.

“Besides the ships, there’s also the issue of deploying superhumans.”

“Ah.”

“Every round requires different superhumans, so it’s really tough.”

“So that’s why you’re so concerned, Commander.”

Well, it’s better than not being able to deploy any superhumans at all.

Facing pirates is one thing, but beyond the tough leveling…

At this point, it’s safe to say that user fleets filled with special troops like “superhuman soldiers” are making me uneasy.

But while I was deep in thought…

“At this point… we can just fight with the Commander’s skills alone.”

“That’s not wrong.”

Hearing Jessica’s words, I remembered the recent rumors about me.

People were saying my skills were only 50% and the rest was just ship power, or even that it was all base power.

No, it’s not just ship power… There were even whispers that it was all base power.

‘…Right, now is the time to show my true skills as a top-ranked player.’

I felt a surge of confidence, ready to crush all the baseless rumors and prove my worth.

“Exactly, this is the perfect chance to show why I’ve made it to the top 3 rankings three times.”

“Uh…”

“If I dominate with just general-grade ships, the rumors and slander about me in the galleries and chat rooms will stop.”

But just as I was feeling all confident…

“But Commander, you can’t deploy Hreðsvelgr and Kraken, but you can still use Nerañzara, right?”

“…”

With Jessica’s question mark floating above her head, my plan to go all out with general-grade ships was neatly folded and tossed into the mental trash can.
