Chapter 89: Chapter 89
Gu Tunan and his crew crowded into the captain's cabin, and when they voiced their request, the captain wondered, "You want me to fly to a place where there might be bugs?"
The players nodded good-naturedly.
"Finding the energy star is our focus, killing the insect race will not do us any good ......" Before the captain could finish his words, he was handed a plate of green insect meat in front of him.
This is a dish that Gu Tunan cooked himself, under the guidance of a nanny robot, referring to the tutorial of home cooking pork stir-fry, and carefully and rigorously following the step-by-step procedure.
Gu Tunan tried it himself, and he thought it was better than the devil's food in the school cafeteria.
"You can get worm meat." Gu Tunan tries to be friendly: "Eat?"
After five minutes, all members of Gu Tunan's team have had a point of goodwill deducted from them by the captain.
When they decided to use physical persuasion, the favorability ratings were docked all over again.
"Why did Tang Bai's group increase their points by one or two points each?" Bai Li muttered as he looked at the points leaderboard.
*
The vastness of the universe is full of beautiful nebulae that look like exquisite works of art, with brilliant colors like flowers and jewels, and the occasional round or oval nebulae that look like the eyes of small animals gazing at the Explorer as it sails through a river of stars.
Tang Bai sits cross-legged with the group, each holding a small cup of tea, kindly sponsored by the captain.
"You said you still write novels?" Elderly Kang asked, holding a steaming cup of tea.
Tang Bai clears his throat and prepares to tell the NPC about his "This omega is a master mech builder", which is an attempt of his, since cooking is considered a skill after being recognized by the NPCs, wouldn't writing be as well?
Lu En drooped his eyelids, the novels written by the noble young masters should be love stories, thought he slowly sipped his tea-
"Then the protagonist punishes the scumbag villain with a tool rape."
Lu En: "Pfft!"
"Senior, are you alright?" Tang Bai handed Lu En a tissue.
Lu En shook his head as he coughed, he looked over to Xie Ruhang, who was calmly beside Tang Bai, and couldn't hold back his question, "You've read this novel a long time ago?"
Xie Ruhang nods, gazing tenderly at Tang Bai, a little wistfulness in his tone, "I was a great reader of his, and because of this book we found a soul to share."
Can't be.
Lu En thought with a twinkle in his eye.
How does this mind-numbing plot make you two resonate with your souls?
When Tang Bai spoke of Jun Tongchen having to remove his glands in order to enter military school, Elderly Kang's expression grew grave, "A talented omega like you really deserves a better education."
"Ding - The novel you created is recognized by the npc, Elderly Kang goodwill +1, and you learn a new skill writing through your own fumbling, +1 points."
"What happened after he became chief?" Elderly Kang asked.
Tang Bai took a sip of tea, full of innocence, "I haven't written the next one yet."
Elderly Kang said seriously, "Keep writing."
Tang Bai: "?"
Tang Bai, I never thought I'd be rushed by npc's playing a game.
[Call for the Captain! The Captain has spoken our minds!]
[The atmosphere of this group is so harmonious, playing out the feeling of a casual game.]
Tang Bai leaned his little head on Xie Ruhang's shoulder, like a small, pathetic and helpless pigeon snuggling up to a big pigeon for warmth.
Xie Ruhang stroked Tang Bai's little nerdy hair, "Writing an essay also needs inspiration, there's no rush."
Pop-up: "......" Just spoil him.
Rong Yao looks at the leaderboard and realizes that Tang Bai has gained another point, he joins the storytelling contest and he tells a story about a beta and omega falling in love.
The main character of this story is probably a commoner beta courting his love for an aristocratic omega.
In fact the commoner beta in the story is modeled after Rong Yao himself, and that noble omega......
Rong Yao glanced cautiously at Tang Bai, who was leaning unnoticed against Xie Ruhang, like a lazy, petulant cat.
Sure enough ......
Trying to ignore the loss in his heart, Rong Yao gently averted his eyes, and when he caught a sudden sharp look from Xie Ruhang, Rong Yao's voice paused in his narration.
Wait, did Xie Ruhang guess the prototype for this story?
No, it can't be.
I've magically altered a lot of the plot, the omega main character didn't compete in the mech building competition or go to military school ......
Rong Yao, under pressure from Xie Ruhang's progressively more focused eyes, weakly continued to tell the story of begging and not being able to do so.
He saw Xie Ruhang sit up straight, his expression beginning to focus.
When he talked about the beta protagonist's decision to give up his lover because he clearly realized that as a beta, he could not mark omega, and that there was an unbridgeable gap between his gender and class and the other person's, he found that Xie Ruhang, who was incredibly devoted to the story, had slightly moist eyes.
Rong Yao : "????" This is BO romance ah, why are you alpha so empathetic?
Xie Ruhang For some reason, he seemed to be immersed in the magic silver footage he had seen at the beginning of this moment, and the pain of having to give up Tang Bai because of the world and the longevity divide welled up in his heart.
He hugged Tang Bai emotionally and Tang Bai looked up at Xie Ruhang with his little face. Although he didn't know what was going on, his little hand was the first to keep stroking Xie Ruhang's back as if smoothing the fur of a big dog.
"What's wrong?" Tang Bai asked quietly, lowering his voice.
Xie Ruhang's eyebrows relax a little under Tang Bai's gentle touch, he shakes his head and quietly hugs Tang Bai.
Rong Yao, who suffered a billion-point blow: "......" Don't shark, shark dog really want to cry.
Rong Yao sadly finishes the BE ending of the story, and then to his horror, Lu En shakes his head and very empathetically raises his teacup and drinks it down in a single gulp as if he were drinking wine.
Rong Yao : "!!!"
Hey! How are you alpha's all so vicarious?
"Ding - The novel you created is recognized by the npc, Lu En favor +1, you learned a new skill writing through your own fumbling, +1 points." Rong Yao blankly ended his story.
"Brother Xie, are you coming to speak?" Lu Lv inquired.
Lu En took a careless sip from his teacup, Xie Ruhang should be the kind of hot-blooded adventure story, there may also be violent and bloody content ......
"I wanted to tell the love story of two omega's."
Lu En: "Pfft!"
"Are you alright, senior?" Tang Bai skillfully handed Lu En a tissue.
[Makes a double shot]
[Lu En and I both have the same face at this moment]
"OO romance" is too taboo a topic.
What are two omegas doing together? It's a waste of reproductive resources.
Everyone at this time had no idea of the storm they were about to face.
Twenty minutes later.
Tang Bai reddened his eyes and buried his face in Xie Ruhang's chest.
Lu En clutched the already empty teacup tightly without saying a word.
Lu Lv and Qiu Yan embrace each other, while Rong Yao is alone in his despair.
Why is such a delicate, soft and sadistic story coming from God Xie's mouth? Give me back my tears!
[My roommate and I listened to God Xie's story together, and my roommate didn't cry, but he finally did after I punched him in the face.]
"This is the story that Mighty A should tell.
It was at this moment that the ship suddenly shuddered slightly, and the old captain frowned, "No good, we've encountered a meteorite swarm!"
"New mission: through the meteorite swarm! "
"Mission Summary: The dangers the Explorer encounters in the universe are not only the roaming Bugs, but also the harsh environment itself, so please assist the Captain in getting through this crisis! Each person who succeeds in the mission will receive points according to their contribution!"
The old captain arranged in a deep voice, "Xie Ruhang, Qiu Yan, Lu Lv, Rong Yao, the four of you are in charge of the four laser cannons in different directions! Lu En, you are in charge of the anti-matter main cannon! Lu En, you're in charge of the antimatter main cannon! You're going to shoot down any meteorites that the ship can't avoid! Tang Bai, you and I will go to the cockpit!"
"Do you have any experience in traveling through meteorite belts?!" The old captain asked sharply, holding his helmet.
The auto-flight mode is not enough to deal with the danger-ridden meteor belt, but whenever the ship collides with any of the giant meteorites, the consequences are devastating.
And the captain had been on a long voyage; he was now mentally exhausted, and a second's lapse of concentration in the meteor belt could result in a collision with an asteroid-sized meteorite.
"Only experience in traversing meteorite belts in a game scenario simulation." Tang Bai froze for a moment after saying that, as he suddenly realized that this was actually a game as well, it was just that the NPCs were so vivid that it all made him forget that.
The ship in autopilot mode was now carefully passing by a meteorite, when a meteorite in the distance suddenly deviated from its original trajectory and hurtled towards the Explorer!
An antimatter lightwave and a laser shot toward the meteorite at almost the same time, grazing the rim and shaking the original orbit of the meteorite at a precise angle!
Xie Ruhang expressionlessly aimed his phaser at the next meteorite that was about to strike.
Inside the cockpit.
Tang Bai took a deep breath and put on his helmet, and for a moment of vertigo, he "saw" countless meteorites of all sizes, all in their orbits, and the Explorer was an alien, out of place, and if it came into contact with the natives, it would end in shipwreck.
His hand gripped the steering lever, and his eyes nervously watched the light brain's rapidly refreshing data, which refreshed so quickly that in a split second Tang Bai's brain could not process it in time.
What to do?
"Tang Bai, next I will switch from autopilot mode to manual mode on the count of three."
"Three."
Grandpa said that the best spaceship pilots didn't need the assistance of a light brain, just like the best mech operators didn't need mech-assisted modes.
"Two."
The optical brain was presenting the approximate gravitational pull of each meteorite as data, so could he eschew the interference of the optical brain and sense it on his own?
"One."
Tang Bai's eyes shifted away from the ever-changing numbers on the optical brain and looked towards the vast and boundless universe.
At this moment, Tang Bai sensed the hidden pull on each meteorite, like countless pairs of unseen hands trying to pull him down into the abyss.
It's a wonderful feeling.
Tang Bai gently turned the bow of the boat, he rushed into the battlefield by instinct, like a flat boat through the waves, and like a young eagle soaring on wings.
It's hard to describe the feeling, but those amber eyes are getting brighter ......
