Chapter 470

Chapter 470. If you whip them, you gotta give them carrots too.

Anyway, some of those extreme anti-faction folks and whatnot.

Except for those who still can’t grasp the situation… most users seem to be accepting reality, I guess.

They started the second week by cracking down on user discipline through a massive offensive.

And just like I said, after tightening up the users’ “discipline,” they started switching from the whip to the carrot strategy.

Of course, the admins had already mentioned this in the event notice, so it’s kinda obvious, but still.

They were busy beating up those who needed beating.

Now that they’ve beaten everyone up, they’re starting to hand out resources to good kids like me lol.

This is how you manage goodwill, right? Agreed?

-[They’re only giving minerals and rare resources, what a bummer]

-[Yeah, that’s what happened] (Author)

-[Wait, after all that beating, all they give is resources?]

-[I actually like it]

-[Seems kinda meh]

—————————————–

At first, they only gave out resources in container-like packages, which naturally sparked some complaints from users.

But that was just the early phase.

By the time everyone thought, “Ah, things are finally stabilizing!”

Title: Yo wait, they’re giving out ships now?

Well, when I opened it, it only gave faction ships, and the drop rates are random, so you don’t always get what you want.

But hey, at least I got something, right?

It’s a shame, but what can you do?

-[This damn scammy bastard]

-[LMAOOOOO]

-[Someone block this wristband-wearing jerk]

-[Wait, you got a ship?]

-[Yep]

Title: Seems like the rewards are different for each user? I got a superhuman.

Got a sweet superhuman from the monster.

Not sure what grade it is, but hey, I got it, so I’m happy!

Comments:

-[Now that’s how you flex]

-[LOLOLOL]

-[Some get ships, some get superhumans, what’s going on?]

-[It’s just random, y’know]

-[Either you get a superhuman or a ship, one of the two]

-[Ah, got it]

—————————————–

As the factions started handing out rewards… or rather, throwing carrots, the users, as if nothing had happened, started acting like pigs and dogs, drooling over the “feed” they were getting.

Though, some users with low faction affinity still managed to get rewards, which caused a bit of a stir in the gallery for a moment…

Because it’s just them getting back what was stolen from them by the factions.

If they’re happy about it, they’re literally pigs, so just laugh at them.

Comments:

-[LMAOOOOO]

-[Thanks for healing me with the money you beat out of me!]

-[Damn LOL]

-[Oh, that’s what it is?]

-[LOLOLOL]

-[Sigh, damn…]

—————————————–

With opinions like “They’re just getting back what was taken from them!” popping up, the heated topic quickly cooled down.

And of course, in situations like this, it’s almost expected that someone would say…

Oh, nice.

Every day feels new.

Always thrilling.

-[Daily splitting and their own WWE~]

-[For real LOL]

Losers LOLOLOL

Now they’ve lost everything and can’t even eat feed, right?

Total trash, huh?

Comments:

-[It was a long time of oppression and humiliation]

-[Where are all those guys who were swearing like crazy back then? LOL]

-[They’re already all dead]

-[Kuuuuuu]

—————————————–

It feels like the blade of revenge for all the times they were harassed by the Anti-Faction.

Users are pouring out insults as if they’ve been waiting for this moment.

I nodded, thinking this is just how the gallery always is.

While browsing the gallery like this, I suddenly received a “Faction Reward” from Princess Luka, who is currently absent.

[‘Counterattack Factions’ Event Rewards Distributed!]

[Commander, rewards based on your affiliation with the ‘Space Monster’ faction have been distributed according to your favorability!]

[Random Ship-Generating Cocoon Platform Opened!]

[S-Class ‘Hafling’-Class Destroyer x2]

—————————————–

“Hmm… a bit of a meh reward.”

Unlike the ‘Behemoth’-class Space Cocoon I got before, this one’s on a smaller scale, so I didn’t have high expectations.

But seeing that the reward is just two S-Class destroyers, which are barely considered active-duty ships now…

I felt lucky that at least two came out and decided to put them up in the auction house to get some gold.

But just as I was about to list them, I opened the community window again.

And there, in the gallery I had open earlier, I noticed a very eye-catching post.

And what was it about?

—————————————–

Title: Breaking News) Earth Federation Faction Rebels Appearing Across Humanity Territory

Not entirely accurate, but apparently, it’s the Earth Federation faction that was hiding.

Anyway, these guys are popping up everywhere without any frontlines, and Humanity and its sub-clans are now in combat.

Comments:

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Ah, you can’t just have all the fun by yourself LOL]

-[The Earth Federation flagship fled to the Central Zone, but look at these minions starting a rebellion LOL]

-[This is an additional report]

-[Some strongholds even rebelled, and users docked there were forcibly undocked en masse]

-[Wait, is that for real?] (Author)

-[Nah, it’s not the stronghold rebelling, it’s Earth Federation superhuman rebels infiltrating and taking over the stronghold]

-[LOLOLOLOLOL]

—————————————–

Humanity, who’s been enjoying watching other faction users get beaten and disciplined, is now getting a taste of their own medicine.

This is some peak comedy news.
