Chapter 86: Isn't this handsome guy me?

  The comic cutscene ends and a prompt pops up.

  "When you start the game for the first time, it is strongly recommended to go through the tutorial first to familiarize yourself with the basic content of the game. Do you want to skip the tutorial and start the game directly?"

  Lin Fan stroked the back of his head: "Strongly recommend? Let's take a look."

  So he chose No and entered the tutorial interface.

  "Welcome to Beyond Light! You are the captain of a Federation starship on a daunting and dangerous mission.

  Brutal rebels are subverting the Federation, and your ship carries intelligence vital to the Federation's defenses.

  With a fleet of rebels chasing you, you need to travel through dangerous sectors of the galaxy, reaching the exit beacon of each sector before the rebels catch up. "

  In the center of the screen is a spaceship shaped like a kestrel.

  Although it is a bird's-eye view, it can still be recognized that it is the same model as the spaceship in the loading screen.

  This type of ship used to be a federal service ship, but it was retired a few years ago. Now refitted and reborn.

  It can be seen that the interior of the spacecraft is divided into small cabins, and some cabins display special icons that seem to represent their respective functions.

  "The circular icon at the bottom left of the screen represents the main system of the spacecraft, and the energy used by each system comes from the reactor (pointed by the arrow).

  The icons in the lower right corner represent subsystems, which do not require energy to operate.

  Hover over a system icon to see more information about that system. "

  The energy part of the spaceship is very simple and intuitive. The green squares indicate the energy that can be used, and the empty slots on the system indicate that there are still a few squares to fill.

  Lin Fan moved the mouse to check.

  Reactor: Unused reactor energy can be used to power the system.

  [

  Shield: Maintain a shield to block attacks. Increases shield recharge speed while being manipulated.

   Level 2 Charge: A Shield Barrier

  condition:

  - fully charged

  - Unmanned

  ]

  Medical cabin: Treat the crew in the medical cabin.

  Oxygen: Replenishes the oxygen supply of the battleship.

  Shields, engines, medical bays, oxygen, weapons, pilots, sensors, hatches...

  Lin Fan swept away and muttered, "It looks a bit complicated!"

  However, the icons of each system are in line with their own characteristics and are still relatively easy to recognize.

  For example, the icon of the shield is a honeycomb shape formed by splicing hexagons, and there is an arc on the edge.

  The icon for the medical bay is a red cross, and the icon for the weapon is two missiles placed side by side.

  The icons below correspond to the icons of the cabins in the spacecraft.

  "The upper left corner shows the hull durability, shield level and current resources. When the hull durability drops to zero, the ship will be destroyed."

  The tutorial then walks through how to recharge the system and assign personnel to repair broken systems.

  The damaged engine icon turned from grey to dark red, and a short, powerful siren sounded.

  Lin Fanyi guided him to select a crew member at the head of the spacecraft, and right-clicked on the engine room.

  The crew began to move, and after arriving at the location, they half-kneeled and took out a wrench, and repaired it.

  The engine icon changed from a fully damaged dark red to a partially intact light orange, and returned to its original appearance when repairs were completed.

  "The crew will automatically repair the systems in the compartments they are in, put out fires, repair damage to the hull and fight intruders.

  Combat, lack of oxygen and flames will make the crew lose blood. "

  Followed by the teaching of fire fighting, the airlock on the right side of the spacecraft wing caught fire, and a large flame was burning in the cabin.

  Lin Fan opened the outer cabin door as instructed, and watched the fire gradually diminish until it disappeared, and was stunned for a moment: "In addition to letting the crew put out the fire,

Can you also open the hatch and exhaust the oxygen from the cabin to put out the fire? Is it so scientific? "

  Oxygen-exhausted cabins appear dangerously pink, but with the doors closed, the spacecraft's oxygen system slowly replenishes itself.

  After the jump and battle teaching, Lin Fan was full of confidence: "I have fully mastered this game!"

  At the end of the tutorial, enter the opening interface. The background here seems to be a spaceship factory.

  A tall stone man can be seen carrying a heavy container, walking slowly between the spaceships, and a human engineer is standing on the engineering ladder, opening the tail engine casing of a spaceship, and is checking and repairing.

  There are also unassembled spaceships, with various parts and energy blocks scattered around, and several internal cables are connected to the external computer. An engineer sat in front of the computer and tapped something with his hands, which seemed to be debugging.

  In the center of the screen is the spaceship selected by the player, which is the Kestrel by default.

  Lin Fan was already familiar with this spaceship in the novice tutorial, so he didn't plan to change it.

  "Can the crew still be customized?" Lin Fan clicked curiously, and a face pinching interface appeared.

  In this interface, you can customize the name, choose gender, skin color, face, hairstyle, decoration, clothing, etc.

  Lin Fan was interested and carefully adjusted the image of the character. Soon, an interstellar mercenary with a arrogant handsome face, arrogant yellow hair, and muscles as strong as a leopard appeared.

  Lin Fan was quite satisfied: "It's alright, it's quite similar to me."

  Set the character name to "Lin Fan" and choose to save the image.

  In this way, if you customize the crew in the future, you can directly select the saved image without repeating this process.

  The option for feats is greyed out with the note "After defeating the flagship for the first time, feats can be set for the initial crew.".

  There is also an option of "Set as Captain", the note is very interesting: "It only affects the scene of the character in the game, and does not affect the character's attributes."

  Although Lin Fan wasn't quite sure what it meant, he still chose it.

  The remaining two crew members are directly random.

  "Easy, normal and difficult? Simple is boring, let's play normal difficulty." Lin Fan clicked to start the game.

  The options disappeared, and the steel plate on which the Kestrel was moored slowly sank, revealing the spaceship channel at the bottom.

  A new comic cutscene appeared.

  The background of the picture seems to be the cockpit of the spacecraft, the multi-angle surround display screen, the operating console of the digital matrix keyboard, the ergonomic space chair that can be rotated, and the huge portholes with a height of one person on three sides.

  Through the porthole, you can see the dark starry sky, the twinkling stars and the huge khaki planet not far away.

  The huge porthole gives people a sense of immersion, as if stretching out their fingers, they can touch the starry sky.

  In a new style of comics, the perspective shifted to the man sitting in front of the driver's seat. The arrogant face and yellow hair were recognizable at a glance. He was eating with an open space can in his hand.

  Lin Fan's eyes lit up: "Hey, isn't this me? This form is so interesting!"

  On the top right of the screen in front of Huang Mao Lin Fan, is the serpent-shaped logo of the villain organization, which should be their TV channel.

  A heavily made-up hostess sits on the right side of the screen, introducing the news with a tense expression, and the most conspicuous feature in the picture is the close-up of the heroic Kestrel, with a red triangle marked with a sense of urgency next to it. Exclamation mark.

  It appears that the Kestrel has been wanted by the rebels.

  The new grid shows the star map on another screen, with some dotted lines connecting different planets.

  Immediately afterwards, the screen turned, and the angle of view was the side of Huang Mao Lin Fan. He rested his elbows on the console, crossed his chin with his hands, and stared at the screen, as if in deep thought.

  "The next route..."
