Chapter 281 Game in Mars (3)
Ha Su-young, who turned on her streaming channel after a long time, actively promoted her new game ‘Farmbus’ and enjoyed the benefits.
Even if it’s Ha Soo-young, it’s difficult to get 500 million real-time viewers unless it’s a declaration of war.
[A game played by Martian astronauts!]
[Farmbus, install it now!]
[Available on all platforms including PS, Xbox, Steam, PC, mobile, and VR devices!]
[Farm with players from all over the world on one unified server!]
[Language barriers are no problem. We provide perfect real-time interpretation and translation services.]
-What? It’s not a separate platform, it’s an integrated server?
-So mobile users, console users, and PC users all meet on one server?
-Evande… … Then isn’t it the most advantageous for PC users? How can you win with mouse control, mobile touch control, and console pad operation?
-Is it X-God? No, it means that you can freely use mobile, console, and PC with one account.
-What? That can’t be. I don’t know about anything else, but are you saying that Plus would allow that? That’s ridiculous according to their policy.
-Yeah, I’m lying flat on my stomach, shaking in fear after seeing Sony take over Nintendo.
-If the swimming pool is empty, Sony will stop producing all electronic products, not just Plus. Even now, they can’t make anything properly in their factories in Japan.
– He is being severely punished for secretly lobbying the US Congress with semiconductors.
Now, there’s nothing special for astronauts to do while they’re on their way to Mars.
So Ha Soo-young was also actively promoting the Palm Bus to astronauts and viewers inside the spaceship.
“This is Ha Soo-young. The great thing about this game is that it is platform-independent. What if you meet a PC user while playing on mobile? The AI will automatically supplement the controls.”
“Enjoy a month of happiness for just a few dollars. We do not have any gambling elements such as random boxes.”
“I’m sorry. Actually, there are random boxes. However, there is absolutely no disadvantage to not drawing random boxes! Items and skills that are related to the game’s power balance have absolutely nothing to do with random boxes.”
「Look item right away! Some items related to visual skins can only be obtained through random boxes! If you are not particularly interested in the look, you do not have to purchase the random box!」
A fair start for all users as newbies.
The beginner users were relieved by the declaration that power-related items were unrelated to random boxes.
-As expected, Suyeong-ja has good eyesight.
-I guess I won’t have to see any more damn gacha games here.
-If you only have the look-alike items in gacha, there will be no problem playing the game.
If you have to spend more money than others to get powerful items, then eventually the rich users who spend a lot of money will rise to the top tier.
However, many users were fed up with the gambling elements that only benefited the game companies.
Korean gamers in particular welcomed it with open arms.
-Yeah. Those with a lot of money to spend should just focus on looks.
-But if the skins are awesome but the power is weak, wouldn’t heavy spenders with lots of money not want to play this game?
-If you spend money to become a powerful character, but you have to invest a lot of time and control to get beat up by strong players, then don’t do it.
-Oh lol. I heard that Palm Bus account transfer is officially possible? The company said that the system supports it.
-what?
-I guess I can just buy someone else’s account that they’ve raised with great effort and play around with it.
-No, the company supports game account trading? What kind of nonsense is that?
– In real life, you can manage things like farms and sell and buy them from others, right? It seems like the farming game reflects that aspect as well.
-I’m not sure if this will encourage gambling or not.
-But is there anything fun about a farming game?
-There are so many people in the world who enjoy the Farming Simulator series. If the swimming group had sharpened their skills and made it, it would still be playable.

“What fun is there in playing farming games?”
Choi Tae-woong had never done anything like a farm management simulation before.
I always played FPS games with intense fights, or RPG games with cool combat.
“It’s a game released by our enemy, so I have to play it as a subordinate.”
He was an active-duty petty officer aboard the Nimitz aircraft carrier.
He was originally a regular soldier in the Navy, but he gave up his military service as a sergeant and entered the path of a career soldier.
He was satisfied with his military life because he received tens of millions of won in compensation for one year and six months of slave wages and received a stable and high monthly salary.
Above all, the unit directly under the Admiral of the Navy (strictly speaking, it is not a direct unit, but everything related to the ships that Ha Su-yeong bought with his money is called a direct unit) had absolutely no internal irregularities.
Because everyone, from the fleet commander to the lowest private, is required to be under Freedom’s protection and surveillance.
Since Freedom is always with him by order of the Admiral of the Navy, he cannot commit arbitrary and cruel acts based on his rank.
Because of the burden of having to report to the commander 24 hours a day, everyone, including the officers and enlisted men, became careful about their words and actions.
Moreover, since sexual crimes had been completely eradicated, other units, especially female soldiers, were strongly hoping for its introduction.
“Let’s see… Oh, it’s not about creating characters, but about creating farms. Isn’t it character-centered play?”
I looked it up and found that you can also create player avatar characters.
The game wasn’t difficult to access.
If you don’t know what to look for, just call Freedom and ask.
Palmbus basically has a freedom AI that helps you play the game, so you don’t have to bother posting questions on the game bulletin board and waiting.
“Freedom, then will you tell me the strategy as well?”
“I can recommend simple strategies based on my own judgment, but you will need to think about advanced strategies and tactics that may ruin the game’s fun yourself. However, even if I can’t tell you the answer, I can give you some advice or guidance.”
“Good. By the way, can I only create one avatar character?”
“There is no basic limit, but if you buy more than 2, you will need to spend currency.”
“If I create multiple avatar characters, the cost keeps increasing, right?”
“No, the cost per unit is fixed.”
“That sounds good.”
Once you create your avatar character and start playing the game, your starting point is established.
Choi Tae-woong, who settled in a small rural area, was given a 10-meter by 10-meter garden.
“As expected, since you’re a beginner, your starting point is small.”
They had the initial capital to purchase suitable farm equipment, seeds to plant, and hire laborers.
“The currency unit is ‘HA’?”
“Yes. It is a unit established based on the surname of Chairman Ha Su-young.”
“I don’t know if it’s okay to call your enemy by his last name so carelessly.”
“Originally, the face of the monarch was included on the currency. Britain always puts the face of the current monarch on the currency design. When the throne changes, the currency design also changes.”
“The real currency design includes the image of the enemy’s face……”
When I played the game, I found that the ‘HA’ unit was roughly equivalent to the Korean Won.
I was curious so I used Freedom to search, and the prices of the farm equipment were the same as the prices of real farm equipment.
Since the garden was only 10 meters square, it could be managed without any problems by hiring only two workers.
Of course, if you directly use your avatar character for farming, you can hire only one person, or you can do it alone without hiring any workers.
It will take some time though.
“There’s even a small cabin. It’s amazing that electricity is even available in a rural area like this. I used to live in the countryside, and you did a really good job recreating it realistically.”
“We at Palmbus didn’t want to compromise on either realism or gameplay.”
“By the way, I want to plant something other than potatoes…’
“In your current situation, I strongly recommend potatoes. Isn’t your farmland too small to grow rice or wheat?”
“I need to buy some land quickly. How much does it cost?”
“It’s 50,000 HA per square meter.”
“The price of land is strangely real.”
Perhaps because it is a farming game, the concept of time passes very quickly.
Gamers would also get frustrated if it took months in real time to harvest.
“It’s because they’re potatoes that they’re so fast. Some grains take more than a day in real time.”
“But it will be more expensive, right?”
“Yes.”
Choi Tae-woong, who had been working hard to plant potatoes, looked around the store while waiting to see what was being sold.
It was full of agricultural machinery with names I had never seen before, including farm implements, cultivators, trucks, passenger cars, tractors, combines, and transplanters.
“This is crazy. 300 million HA for one tractor? What makes it so expensive?”
“Tractors are originally expensive machines.”
“What kind of tractor is this that costs over 1 billion HA?”
“It’s a four-wheeled tracked tractor. It can pass through muddy swamps without any problems. Chairman Ha Su-yeong once rode one through Garosu-gil.”
“Wow… But I want everything that’s so shiny. When will I ever save up money?”
“I don’t recommend it at first. Basically, you need to have a large farm to use such equipment. I recommend expanding your farm first.”
“Yeah… 10 meters by 10 meters… What kind of tractor is a small farmer who rolls potatoes? A tractor.”
The game graphics were ridiculously good.
Depending on how much you zoom in, you can even see the bugs on the tree clearly.
If you find the bugs annoying, you can also filter them out in the settings.
“The scenery, the view is beautiful…….”
While waiting for the potatoes to ripen, Choi Tae-woong browsed the shops and walked around the farmland.
At night, we would light a bonfire by the river, have our avatar characters sit down, and play around the fire.
The view of the sunrise over the lake in the morning was breathtaking.
“Just looking at the scenery seems to heal my heart. I don’t know about anything else, but the graphics are definitely the best.”
“Of course. How delicately did the physics laws have to be set to implement these graphics?”
“But what else can I use the in-game currency for besides buying items?”
“You can also purchase crops in real life with in-game currency. Of course, since it is in-game currency, the units are applied slightly differently from the real-life prices.”
“Oh, really? So if I just play hard in the game, I won’t have to worry about food expenses in real life?”
“Of course. You don’t have to worry because Suyeong Farm takes care of all the international shipping. It doesn’t matter in Korea, but in countries where fish is rare, they’ll play hard to get fish delivered.”
For two days after the game’s release, Choi Tae-woong leisurely enjoyed the game.
When I hired workers and left the field to them, it ran on its own, as if I had turned it on automatically.
There was nothing special to do other than enjoying the scenery.
Because there are limits to the area of fields and the speed at which crops can grow, there is currently not much room to move.
“It’s not bad, but it’s a little boring. I wonder how other people play the game….”
Out of curiosity, Choi Tae-woong looked for the gameplay video posted on the Kugle streaming channel.
But all the videos were strange.
“What is this? Are we playing the same game? Wow, who gets a few shovels and who gets a space battleship?”
Choi Tae-woong was dumbfounded after watching the gameplay video of him fighting monsters with a giant space battleship.
“You can’t believe there was such a big gap in just two days? That’s ridiculous. But, this is a farming game, so why are there space battleships and space monsters?”
“That’s because the starting point is different. That user received a space battleship from the start.”
“Wow, seriously. This is too much. The universe starts with battleships, but some people start with dirt spoons.”
I couldn’t bring myself to badmouth a game released by the Navy Admiral’s company and call it a ‘f*cking game’.
