I have a bunch of players on Earth

Unfair Contract!

“Hey Little Chen, I know that as a newbie, you really want to produce some results. But you cannot give such a hypocritical rating! Don’t you know that this is extremely irresponsible to all gamers? Our company hires only professional game reviewers instead of those rubbish that writes misleading sensational titles to generate clicks. Our company has just listed and we need to maintain our good public reputation. Do you understand that by submitting this fake review, you will be damaging our reputation?”

In the transmission aperture, Little Chen lowered his head as he laughed. “Leader, this is truly not the case!”

“Hmph!” That middle-aged man standing in the lead snorted coldly in disbelief. How could a private designer create a five-star product? If news of this were to spread out, who would believe it? If you rated other aspects as five stars, it might still be possible as there would occasionally be hidden dragons and crouching tigers among private designers—there might truly be some shocking genius. But for something like backgrounds and scenes, what they compared were the basic fundamental skills. One needed high-end virtual engines and an excellent art design team. With these factors, how could all of these be completed by just a single private designer?

“Welcome to [Star Ocean]. Brave adventurer, quickly come and sign the contract and be a subject under the noble Overlord Xiye!”

The NPC still said the same thing. This was considered a slightly old opening. To professional game reviewers, just this sentence alone was enough for them to know that the planning team behind this game had no creativity and was using old textbook plots.

However, right now, the three of them didn’t have any mind to care about this. The middle-aged man who scolded Little Chen earlier was now completely dumbfounded. This was the first time Little Chen saw a look of being stunned on this middle-aged man’s face after he knew him.

“This...this, this…” The middle-aged man had a face filled with disbelief as he glanced at the surroundings. As a veteran in this field who had over twenty years of experience, he had seen many excellent games before, but never had there been a game that could stun him so much with just the opening scene.

(Why are there two old men and even baldies at that?)

Xiye’s face under the helmet flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction. As an overlord, he naturally wished to recruit people with an abundance of youth and energy. He had no interest in these old baldies.

Unless they were some geniuses with high-end technical skills from special races like the Holber botanists, blacksmiths from the Bronzebeards, Hicks Robots from the Clockwork Race, or doctors from the Wood Spirit Race. For people like these, the overlord naturally hoped that the older they were, the better. After all, age usually was an indication of experience for technical talents.

But with the backward science and technology of this planet, Xiye didn’t even care for their so-called technical professionals. He wasn’t interested in them at all. What he needed was a group of young and fit humans that could become strong miners after he conducted biological modifications on them!!!

“Respected Overlord Xiye, might I ask where do we sign the contract?” This time, the two old men weren’t in a rush to go offline like the young man from earlier. After they saw the unfathomably precise details of the scene, they also wished to know how much the designer had developed in terms of other gaming aspects.

Xiye slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced at them. He really couldn’t get his mood up, but the A.I. managed to transmit its voice in time. “Respected Overlord Xiye, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is also meat. Although their ages are slightly older, after biological modification, they can still be used.”

“It’s one thing that they can be used but...it will be a waste of resources from the gene bank,” Xiye mentally replied.

Indeed, it wasn’t that older people couldn’t undergo biological modifications. But ultimately, their cells had started to decline. Regardless of their absorption strength or evolution ability, these aspects were all inferior when compared to young people. Even if they were modified successfully, the genetic ability they could absorb would also be limited...

“What’s the problem Overlord Xiye? In any case, weren’t everything you bought some cheap stuff?”

Xiye’s lips twitched upon hearing that. Which company was this damnable A.I. from? He had to warn his school juniors from the next batch not to purchase the brand he did. If not, they would definitely feel fatigued just by thinking about conversing with an A.I. who didn’t know how to talk pleasantly when they drifted through the universe for tens of thousands of years!

But it was right. The stuff he bought was all the cheap goods. But there was nothing he could do, who asked him to be poor?

“Respected Sir Overlord?” Upon seeing the NPC not replying after a long time, the two middle-aged men frowned and silently mused, “Could it be that this game is only a shell? There’s completely no content?”

“Ah…” Xiye regained his senses. He peered down at them imperiously. “You guys just made the wisest choice in your lifetime!”

As he spoke, he waved his hand. A pile of intricately-designed contracts appeared before the three of them. He then continued, “Sign your names. From now on, you guys will be mine, the noble and imposing Overlord Xiye’s subjects! After signing the contract, I will conduct biological modifications on you all, allowing you guys to become outstanding universal lifeforms!”

Contract? Everyone had astonished looks on their faces. After that, they began to read the contract with interest.

Provision 1: Party B will become legal subjects of Party A after signing the contract. They must fulfill their labor obligation, tax obligation, military obligation, and population production obligation as stipulated by the Overlord. The details can be found below:

Blah...blah…

Provision 2: Party B will obtain the benefits, including the full authority of citizenship under Party A. But since Overlord Xiye’s empire has yet to be established, the various material benefits and rewards are not concrete yet. Everyone can wait with anticipation.

Contract duration: Countless years!

Note: During the duration of the contract, you must not betray, desert, violently rebel against Overlord Xiye, or you will be subjected to the sanctions of the Great Cosmos Federation!

What a shameless contract!!

As they read through the contract, the three of them all had dazed looks on their faces. Xiye put on a straight face, but in truth, he was lacking in confidence.

Right now, he had no ability to invade D-Planet. He who had no military force under him couldn’t use the methods of slavery to colonize the planet. Since this was the case, he could only bind them with a contract. Contracts from the Deity Organization were protected under the laws of the Great Cosmos Federation. Once they signed it, they would never be able to regret it. At that time, if these fellows wanted to rebel because they sensed something was wrong, he could then apply for the Federation to mobilize martial forces to intervene.

Although this sounded shameless and didn’t fit the style of a noble overlord, he had no other solutions. Those biological genes he had were all cheap stuff, but he paid for them with money. If his method to con them was seen through in the future, where could these fellows who had their genes modified by what he bought complain to?

However, this contract was drafted up by the A.I. and it was a little over the top. Just by taking a look at this, it looked no different than a slave contract. No one was a fool, so how would they be willing to sign?

“Cough...if you guys feel that there’s anywhere illogical, you can suggest some changes…”

“Sir Overlord, what happens after we sign?” The three of them had excitement on their faces as they asked.

“Eh…” Staring at these three people who signed the unfair contract so easily, Xiye was a little shocked. They signed it so quickly? This stupid method was actually of use?

“Cough, cough!” After Xiye let out a fake cough, he hurriedly kept the contracts. After confirming that the three of them really signed, he seamlessly kept the contracts into his private space and spoke in a low voice, “Follow me then!”

“Old Yang. Look at these instruments all around us. The details are truly intricate and impressive. It really exudes a scientific feeling!”

“Yeah!” That middle-aged man named Old Yang nodded after he heard that. “The details are so intricate. Just based on these, even the game [Titan] produced by Storm feels inferior!”

“There’s no comparison alright! Just based on the scenes and backgrounds, this game can trump everything. After this, we must get in touch with the creator as soon as possible and get the handling authority!”

“What is this, noble Sir Overlord?” Little Chen who walked at the forefront asked.

“This is a biological lathe.” Maybe because he had tricked these people into becoming his eternal slaves, he felt a little guilt. It was rare for Xiye to be so patient, answering the question, “In this place, I will backup your minds and use cloning technology to backup your original bodies. After that, I will use it to commence the biological modifications. Once your clones die, at the instant your minds shut off, your consciousnesses will be transferred to the backup minds via special instruments. Don’t worry, this technology is from the 14th cosmic era, a technology refined by the clockwork magic spirit race from the principle behind the phylacteries of ancient liches. Now after so many years of development, it is already very mature. There won’t be any accidents!”

“Cool!” Little Chen’s eyes glowed. A short few sentences from the NPC already hinted at the vast background of this game. It seemed like he truly had underestimated the planning ability of the designer earlier!

Mn...what gene should he use?

Xiye opened up his gene bank and stared at the cheap stuff inside. He silently pondered and in the end, he decided that for his first experiment, it was still best to go with the cheapest green titan gene!
