Chapter 4 Adding friends successfully arouses the other party's curiosity

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

Melon didn't receive Bai's reply, so he clicked on the friend interface and entered the viewing area. He saw his friend punch the male insect opposite in the face, and he screamed in shock.

"What should I do?" Mellon was so anxious that he jumped up and down, not knowing why Bai was so impulsive.

It would be fine if it was just bullying the weakling, but this weakling was a male insect. If the system discovered this, even if Bai was an admiral, he would be fined and criticized.

If things go wrong, he might be impeached by the Male Insect Protection Association and be suspended from work, which would not be a good thing for them.

Bai had never been so impulsive before. What had happened today? Had the male insect on the other side discovered Bai's identity and insulted him?

This shouldn't be the case. This is Bai's smaller version, with an adjusted appearance and a mask.

Moreover, Bai is a general in the military and the female soldier who is most likely to become the next marshal. Most male insects, due to Bai's identity, will not say anything excessive in public even if they have the arrogance of male insects in their bones.

Bai Geng is not the kind of bug that would fight with a few words. Is there some hidden secret that he doesn't know?

Thinking of this, Mellon quickly applied to view the video footage before the competition.

After the players enter the competitive mode, the system will turn on the recording mode to prevent any bugs from colluding with other bugs to cheat in order to get a higher rank.

But before Melon could click on the video, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The male insect on the other side just tilted its head slightly, dodging Bai's swift attack. Melon knew that Bai had actually held back at the last moment, but it was not an attack that the male insect could easily avoid.

Bai seemed to have noticed this as well, his eyes showed a stronger interest, and without saying a word he attacked again, kicking the opponent directly in the chest with a high kick!

"Good leg skills!" Nan Qi shouted, crossing his arms in front of his chest to block the attack. At the same time, he kicked the opponent's supporting leg. If this kick hits, the opponent will definitely not be able to support his body and fall to the ground.

But the opponent did not follow Nan Qi's script. Instead, he took advantage of the rebound force of Nan Qi's arm that blocked him and turned 360 degrees in the air and landed on the ground. Then he changed his fist into a palm, rushed forward and chopped Nan Qi's neck fiercely!

Nan Qi dodged sideways again and took two steps away: "Brother, don't hold back, I'm not that fragile, don't worry."

Bai did not answer, but stared at Nan Qi without blinking, as if evaluating the truthfulness of Nan Qi's words.

Nan Qi smiled slightly. This time, he attacked first, moving forward and striking the opponent's shoulder with a palm. When the opponent dodged, he quickly grabbed the opponent's wrist and twisted it. The opponent reacted quickly and kicked Nan Qi's ankle!

This time, the opponent finally stopped holding back his strength. Nan Qi raised a smile, released the opponent's wrist, and turned back, making the opponent's quick and fierce move fail.

The opponent's physical fitness and reaction ability were top-notch. The moment Nan Qi let go of him, he retracted his strength to avoid unstable standing due to uneven force.

These are details that only experienced masters pay attention to. Many people expect their punches and kicks to be swift and powerful, but in these cases, they often use too much force. When the punch misses or is countered, they don't have the energy to stop, and the injury ends up hurting themselves instead of the other person.

The female insect in front of him was obviously an absolute master who could control her strength freely.

Nan Qi became more and more interested in the fight, and the opponent seemed to be the same, and both sides stopped holding back their strength.

Bang bang bang, the sound of flesh colliding resounded throughout the arena. Melon in the viewing area opened his mouth wide, and his cheeks were sore but he didn't close it.

Where did this male insect come from? It can actually fight back and forth with General Bai Smellide. Who would believe it if I told others about this?

Could this male insect really not be an NPC created by the game system? Melon sincerely didn't believe that such a male insect existed.

Another fierce collision of fists and feet, the two insects separated. When Bai was about to attack, he saw that the opponent actually clicked for an emergency pause.

Bai was puzzled and frowned slightly. When he was about to ask, the male insect opposite spoke.

The male insect's voice was as pleasant and sunny as ever. If you listened carefully, you could hear the ending tone rising slightly, which was actually a bit playful: "I don't have time. I have to go to the fighting competition preliminary. Brother, add me as a friend. When I come back online, we can have another good fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, an interface popped up in front of Bai saying "AA requests to add you as a friend". Then the male insect on the opposite side disappeared, and he actually admitted defeat and logged off.

The opponent conceded, and Bai automatically won the match. Because the two sides had fought back and forth before, the system wouldn't consider Bai bullying, and the risk of being penalized was eliminated, but—

Bai looked at the "AA requests to add you as a friend" screen in front of him, then turned back to look at Mellon who had walked over to him: "What do you think?"

Mellon was silent for a moment. "I don't understand. I've never seen such a powerful male insect, both in terms of fighting skills and physical fitness. Has he really not adjusted his physical data?"

"He said he didn't," Bai said calmly, "Even if he has adjusted, his skills are not something that ordinary male insects can possess."

Melon nodded. Nowadays, most high-level male insects are arrogant and licentious, and they will enslave female insects and sub-females. How could they seek hardship and calm down to hone their fighting skills?

If it were a low-level male insect, it would be possible, but a low level of mental strength also means that the reaction would be slow, and it would be almost impossible to reach the level of the male insect just now.

Bai thought about it and agreed to the male insect's friend request.

Since the other party said he wanted to participate in a fighting competition, he might as well observe this special male insect to see if he is really that powerful.

"Let's go."

"Ah? Where are we going?" Mellon was confused.

Bai turned to look at Mellon. The disdain in his eyes made Mellon take two steps back. He grinned and said, "Don't look at me like that. I get it, I get it. I'll go back to the competition area to watch the preliminaries. I hope I can find Mr. AA without having to watch too many eye-catching matches this time."

When Nan Qi came out of the ordinary game room, he saw the sub-female clerk who greeted him and said with a smile: "Sir, your number is about to arrive. I am sorry to call you out early."

Nan Qi stood up quickly, stepped out of the game cabin, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for waking me up in time. May I ask where my competition cabin is?"

The female shop assistant smiled slightly and said, "Please follow me."

Nan Qi followed the sub-female clerk to the competition area. Along the way, they met many dejected insects. They also saw Carter and Arnold among them. These two brothers should have come to participate in the preliminary selection for 100 star coins.

Carter saw Nan Qi in the insect swarm and snorted. Nan Qi found it funny and wanted to tease this little guy who was not even an adult in human age.

Zerg are generally long-lived, with an average lifespan of 300 years. Zerglings are not considered adults until they are 40. Between the ages of 80 and 200 is the peak of the Zerg's lifespan, and after 230 years, the Zerg gradually enter old age.

When Nan Qi learned this, he was shocked. He became an adult at the age of 40 and reached the peak of his physical strength, endurance and ability after the age of 80.

If this were a human being, they would have entered middle age at 40 and would probably be buried at 80.

No wonder the Zerg can occupy such a large territory in an interstellar world where many powerful races exist. Half of the reason is due to their long lifespan, large number and fertility.

Oh, by the way, you can’t have children now. Whether you can have children depends on the male insect’s willingness, so the Zerg treats the male insects so well.

Looking at Carter who was still looking at him coldly, Nan Qi suddenly said: "Did you lose? Did you get beaten and cry?"

"You were the one who got beaten and cried!" Carter immediately exploded. "What's wrong with losing? Do you think you can win?"

Many male insects only registered, but just signed in, took 100 star coins and went back, or stayed to watch the game. Very few insects actually entered the game cabin to participate in the competition.

Carter played this game regularly and had a very good rank for an F-rank male. He wanted to see if he could make it past the preliminary rounds, where winning six out of ten matches would qualify him, earning him a 1,000-star-coin bonus.

He persisted for 7 rounds and finally won only 2 rounds. In these 2 rounds, he was lucky because he met male insects like him. In the other 5 rounds, he was beaten badly.

Nan Qi raised his eyebrows: "Since I can find high-level black crystal stones, I can naturally pass the preliminary selection. If you don't believe me, you can stay and see."

"Just watch, who's afraid of who? I'll just watch how you lose and how you get beaten by your opponent and made to cry." Carter was so angry that his nose was crooked. If Arnold hadn't stood between them, he would have pounced on Nan Qi and bit him.

"I want to make a bet with you. If you lose, you have to tell me where you dug your high-grade black crystal."

"Carter, shut up!" Arnold growled, then looked at Nan Qi apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not disciplining you properly. Please don't mind what Carter said."

Nan Qi shook his head and rubbed Carter's head in a good mood: "Okay, if I lose, I will take you to mine high-grade black crystal stones, but what will you do if you lose?"

Carter dodged Nan Qi's hand, glanced at his brother who pursed his lips tightly, and said stubbornly: "I won't lose."

"What if you lose?" Nan Qi asked with a smile, "You can't just get something for nothing."

Carter frowned. "I don't understand what you mean by 'getting something for nothing'. If I lose, I will... I will obey you from now on!"

Nan Qi raised the number plate in his hand and said, "It's settled. Arnold, I'm number 19268. Carter, don't make a mistake."

Arnold: "..."

He finally understood that he had been worrying for nothing. Nan Qi was not angry at all. He was just teasing Carter, the stupid guy.

Arnold rubbed his forehead and sighed. He ignored his foolish brother and looked at Nan Qi: "You seem to be in a good mood today. Did you encounter something?"

Nan Qi's smile brightened a little: "Well, I met a very interesting opponent. I hope to meet him again next time."

Arnold didn't know who the interesting opponent Nan Qi was talking about was, but he still sincerely wished him well: "We'll meet again. The game is about to start. You go in. Carter and I will stay here to watch your game. Come on."

There is a huge screen in the game store, which will randomly broadcast the games of players in the store in real time.

Those who are not selected can also watch all the games of this contestant in real time by entering the contestant's unique number in the competition area on the official website.

I don’t know whether Nan Qi was lucky or unlucky, but he was chosen to broadcast the game live on the big screen.

Looking at the basic information and data of the participating players on the screen, Arnold gasped.

No. 15967, Hill Turner, female insect, highest rank - Advanced Level 1, 2066 games, 68% win rate, estimated combat power 6800.

On the other hand, Nan Qi, No. 19268, AA, male insect, highest rank - primary level 1, 4 games played, 75% win rate, estimated combat power 230.
