Chapter 88: Chapter 88
Qin Jun stands in the kitchen and looks like he's working with worm meat, but his hands are in his pockets every now and then.
He felt the original watermelon seed-sized thing expanding rapidly until it was the size of a quail egg before it stopped getting bigger, and this blowing balloon like growth rate was creepy.
"What are you doing?" A dry, inquisitive voice rang out coldly from behind him.
Qin Jun snapped his head back to see the NPC on top of their ship staring coldly at him.
"I'm going to make worm meat for everyone." Qin Jun pulled his hands out of his pockets.
"You have a very strong smell of bugs on you." The npc took a step closer, his dark eyes swiveling as his sight fell on Qin Jun's crew uniform, stained green with bug sap.
Qin Jun rushed to the side, he tensed his body to pick up the kitchen knife, directly with the kitchen knife cut on the thick shell, the next second, the shell was unharmed, but the kitchen knife appeared a gap.
"Use this." Mo Zheng carries out the laser cutter from the armory, and after he sees the npc breaking into the kitchen to stand and pay attention to their player's behavior, he feels even more comfortable that this is the right line of thinking.
Qin Jun took the laser cutter and whispered a thank you.
Gu Tunan and the rest of his teammates also walked up to the kitchen door to watch, a group of alpha's who knew nothing about cooking gathered around to watch Qin Jun cook.
Qin Jun rinsed the worm meat with water, he endured the disgusting touch and appearance of the worm meat, pinched the worm meat directly into the pot, completely without the idea of adding seasoning to remove the odor, not to mention what first blanched to remove the taste of the intention, so first put the worm meat and then put the oil, frying halfway through the thought of putting salt casually added a little.
Soon this plate of worm meat out of the pot, smell the flavor makes people appetite, Qin Jun hard head to this plate of worm meat to the npc.
The npc frowned as he tried to turn away but a group of tall alphas blocked the doorway, and the leader, Gu Tunan, opened his mouth, "Elder take a bite."
The rest of the alpha nodded their heads along with the rest of the alpha, and there was an air of not letting the NPCs go until they had eaten a bite.
Pop-up screen: "......" If I didn't know in advance that you guys were planning on pleasing the NPCs, this would really look like a bully player picking on a good NPC!
Under the gawking eyes of the alpha's, the NPC was forced to take a bite of the worm meat, and the moment it entered the mouth, the NPC made a dry retching sound.
At the same time, all players on the ship except Qin Jun received "Ding - npc Yu Hui has -1 favorability towards you."
And Qin Jun was docked 5 points of goodwill.
Gu Tunan silently made way for the stone-faced NPC, he somewhat despondently clicked on the points leaderboard and saw that the number one points ranking on the list was him and Xie Ruhang, in the next second, he saw that Xie Ruhang went from the original five points to six points, instantly kicking Gu Tunan down.
*
"Ding - The insect meat you cooked is recognized by the npc, Elderly Kang favor +1, and you learn a new skill cooking through your own fumbling, +1 points."
A fierce-looking old man alpha ate the worm meat made by Xie Ruhang without any expression, without any words, if it wasn't for the system's beep, Xie Ruhang wouldn't even know that the other party approved of the worm meat he made.
Next the old man takes a piece of Tang Bai's worm meat, and the moment he puts it in his mouth, every furrow on Elderly Kang's face seems to be filled with the healing power of food.
"Ding - The insect meat you cooked is recognized by the npc, Elderly Kang favorability +2." Elderly Kang's sharp eyes looked at Tang Bai as he said in an undeniable tone: "You're an omega, not suitable for spaceship maintenance work, so become a cook from now on."
The whole room was silent.
Including the pop-ups that went quiet in the moment.
Tang Bai said with an unchanged expression, "Why is airship repair not suitable for omega to do? Your Excellency Captain, I don't just know how to repair airships, I can also pilot them."
Tang Bai got his airship pilot's license a few years ago.
"Ridiculous." The old captain was clearly unconvinced, "How can you fly a spaceship as an omega?"
"A mech builder who doesn't want to fly a spaceship is not a good cook." Tang Bai said seriously, "Why don't I fly it for you?"
Tang Bai's expression was frank and straight, revealing a strong sense of confidence. Elderly Kang, who originally wanted to refuse, hesitated for some reason and took Tang Bai to the driver's cab in a haunted manner.
In the large captain's chair sat Lu En's figure, the ship was in automatic navigation mode, Lu En was responsible for monitoring the ship's flight status.
Seeing Elderly Kang and Tang Bai show up here, Lu En's lazy face showed a few moments of confusion, which intensified after seeing Elderly Kang's next move.
"Tell me what these buttons probably do." Elderly Kang asked.
The game is set in a higher civilization than the real civilization, it is reasonable to say that Tang Bai should not know the buttons of these ships, but this game is designed by the teachers of the Federal Military Academy, the ship, although the design of the avant-garde, but the operating system of the framework is not very much different from the reality of the ship.
"This lever is the startup key, this is the speed adjustment key, and this is the star map coordinate key ......" Tang Bai introduced the basic buttons on the console one by one with his own knowledge, although he couldn't name the more detailed buttons, but being able to introduce the functions of these dozen of buttons was enough to show that he had a certain level of knowledge about the ship.
"Lu En come out, you, and try sitting on it." Elderly Kang said in a deep voice.
Piloting an airship tests the driver's judgment, maneuverability, endurance and other comprehensive abilities, and an excellent driver cannot be replaced by a light brain.
This was because the light brain could only analyze the best route to navigate based on the data it detected, whereas an experienced pilot could sense the subtle changes in the ship's navigation through the universe through the neural link, and make a prediction based on his own instincts.
To save money on energy bills, Elderly Kang turns off the ship's energy-intensive autopilot mode and navigates by its own experience.
Only a few pilots could shed the help of the lightbrain to navigate, and even Lu En wasn't so sure, now that the ship was traveling on a patch of seatbelt without too much danger, Elderly Kang wanted to see just how far this omega could go.
Tang Bai puts on a driving helmet covered with neural links, and his beautiful hand grips the joystick.
"These buttons are unique to the Explorer, let me explain them to you ......." Elderly Kang explained to Tang Bai in detail, and after confirming that Tang Bai understood, Elderly Kang said seriously, "Next I will switch from autopilot mode to manual mode, and if you don't perform well, I will immediately switch back to autopilot mode."
Tang Bai nodded earnestly with a small face, when the ship turned into artificial mode, the weightlessness of the universe was conveyed to his body through the neural link, it was a familiar feeling to him, and everything as far as the eye could see turned into the panoramic view of the ship, the vast universe was unobstructed to his eyes.
The vertigo of this shifting field of view could easily make a newcomer to flying a ship vomit for the first time, but Tang Bai is no newcomer.
When Tang Bai was very young, Grandpa Tang would personally design a series of educational games for Tang Bai, including "Little Spaceship Adventure", which simulates a very real sailing experience, those boring spaceship knowledge becomes interesting in the games designed by Grandpa Tang, and Grandpa Tang also builds children's spaceships, and takes Tang Bai to visit a real giant spaceship! ......
Slender fingers moved rapidly on the dense buttons, Tang Bai almost showed off the operation, under his control, the round ship did not have a single bump, in a perfect straight line in the space in the shuttle.
Don't underestimate the difficulty of navigating in a straight line, the trajectory left by a normal pilot will always have some jitter, that's because the environment in space is not as smooth as on the ground, and some novices even manage to make the ship rotate while snaking around.
"Alert! Obstacle ahead!" The alarm from the optical brain came, and before the optical brain could say the best route to deviate, Tang Bai operated and other ships to slightly deviate, easily avoiding the asteroid with a smooth curve.
Please accept my knee! This is the kind of maneuver that only a gifted player can do!
"Tang Bai is a god even in the Department of Spaceship Operations.
What else can Tang Bai not do? I'm so glad you're here
"The npc's seem to be staring in disbelief.
Elderly Kang can't believe what he's seeing, that such an aura of driving is being demonstrated by an omega?
After ten minutes of Tang Bai's piloting time, Elderly Kang adjusted the setting to autopilot, and Tang Bai heard a system beep: "Your airship piloting skill is recognized by the npc, Elderly Kang's favoritism +1, you learn the new skill of airship piloting, and your points +1. "
"Who taught you to fly a spaceship?" Elderly Kang's tone couldn't hide his excitement.
"My grandfather." Tang Bai answered truthfully, "When I was a child, my grandfather would design little games related to piloting airships just for me, and when I grew up, my father bought me a private airship and gave it to me, and hired a personal trainer for me."
[Talent flow plus kryptonite, interrupting]
Can I publish the small game developed by Tang Lao?
"Your grandfather nurtured your talent in this area?" Elderly Kang froze.
He also has an omega grandchild, and he chose the other side of the road when that child was still clueless.
Tang Bai nods.
Elderly Kang looked at Tang Bai with complicated eyes, after a long time, he sighed, "It's me who was too narrow-minded, your talent shouldn't be wasted in the kitchen, piloting a ship and conquering the stars is what you should be doing."
Then he heard Tang Bai say softly, "Sir Captain, I like piloting the ship, but I'm also interested in the cook position you mentioned before~"
On the other side, Gu Tunan and his group sit down to discuss strategy.
"It's currently known that you can earn points for doing daily tasks, such as the mech builder who can patch holes in the ship." Mo Zheng said.
"If you know how to pilot an airship in reality, you can show off your airship piloting skills in front of an NPC and earn points that way as well." Bai Li said.
"What other ways are there to get points?" Gu Tunan looked to the crowd.
"That, I think killing bug clans is the easiest way to gain points." The silent Qin Jun suddenly voiced out, "We can have the NPCs fly their airships towards places where bug clans might appear, and as long as we can run into small bug clusters, we'll have a lot of points to harvest all at once."
After this idea was presented, Gu Tunan and others discussed it and found it feasible.
And Qin Jun doesn't move to put his hands in his pockets in an effort to appease the thing that gets excited when it hears the crowd agree.
