Chapter 68 Plan
The tall and short female insect lying on the ground was quickly taken away by the seniors who descended from the sky.
One of the seniors frowned at Lins and said, "It's quite difficult to calculate your points. Be careful not to be too clever."
Lins smiled, his little fangs sparkling in the dark.
He took advantage of the seniors' hovercraft still staying on the sand dunes and quickly exchanged three meals: "No need to pay the delivery fee now."
The eliminated short female insect had woken up by now. She raised her middle finger at Lins and said, "You're so arrogant! You eliminated me so I can save the shipping fee!"
Lins smiled and waved at them: "Bon voyage."
Because he saved the 3-point shipping fee for the airdrop, Lin specifically ordered a sandwich worth 2 points, and only 23 of the 30 points he had just earned were left.
The seniors drove away in the hovercar.
"You still have a conscience!"
Rex sighed and when he reached out to take the bread, he was blocked by Linsger.
"Want some?" Lins smiled, his eyes curved, looking adorable. "4 points each."
"You just bought it for two points! And it's doubled in value after just one sale? That's too shady!"
"Then order for yourself." Lins waved his hand and walked towards the figure on the sand dune.
"Hey! Four points is four points, I'll owe you that for now!" Rex muttered. "I just lent you some points!"
Lins threw the bread at him. "You threatened me for forty points, and I've already paid you thirty. I wonder if Senior Ashley will avenge me."
"Alas, alas, we are friends who have been through thick and thin together, and yet you are still talking about this."
Lins ignored him and walked quickly to Ashley's side.
The figure on the sand dune has regained its human form. He sits on it with one leg bent and the other hanging down, making his legs look particularly slender.
Feeling a slight vibration from the ground, Ashley's narrow eyes slanted upwards and saw a piece of bread with a strawberry pattern on it being handed to him.
"Strawberry flavor," Lins said. "Do you like sweet things, Senior?"
Ashley didn't say anything, but raised his hand to take the bread.
Lins observed him quietly and found that this legendary culprit who caused turmoil in the small world actually didn't like to move much.
His gaze was fixed on a certain point in the void for a long time. He looked very formidable because of his narrow eyes and depressed brow bones, but in fact he was probably in a daze.
Even when he chewed, he did it slowly.
One bite can keep me going for a long time.
Lins chuckled to himself. This was very similar to Maple. Perhaps this was the nature of the interspotted spider, preferring to remain motionless in the web it wove.
Since he had nothing to do, Lins sat down next to Ashley. He spun the spider silk he had just recovered with his fingers.
Ashley felt his movement and glanced at him sideways.
He seemed to be attracted by Lins's movements. Those were a pair of very beautiful hands.
The knuckles are long and slender, with distinct joints, giving them a sense of power and beauty.
Lins moved quickly. This was something he had used to tease Maple before, but who knew it would come in handy now.
A long and light cloak was quickly woven.
Lins handed the cape to Ashley.
"Give me?"
Lins nodded.
The spider silk cloak was as clear as moonlight.
"It protects against UV rays," Lins explained. "The sun is so strong in the desert during the day that it's unbearable."
In his world, spider silk contains adhesive molecules (DOPA) that can absorb harmful ultraviolet rays. I just don't know if the Zerg are the same? [Note 1]
The cloak had a large hood. Seeing that Ashley didn't react, Lins raised his hand and put it on him, while pushing the hood down.
For some reason, Ashley didn't move.
He sat there until the hood of his cloak fell gently on his face.
The spider silk was very thin and transparent and did not affect his vision. He saw the dimples on Lins' face through the silk thread.
That dimple is very deep.
Ashley stared blankly for a moment.
After a moment, he pursed his lips and whispered, "Thank you."
Lins blinked and found that this guy was even more innocent than he had imagined.
Ashley's way of expressing his gratitude was also very simple. He raised his hand and swiped his watch.
Lins's watch vibrated.
He looked down and saw that the time had changed to 109:32:07.
Good guy Ashley gave him 100 hours in one go.
He is very rich and powerful.
Lins decided to follow the boss and win by relying on his thighs.
After making sure that he was not in a hurry, Lins took out all the remaining spider silk. He rolled the spider silk into a very fluffy form, forming a huge cocoon, and then crawled into it.
He even politely asked Ashley if she wanted to sleep together.
After all, although this spider silk can keep you warm, it cannot heat up on its own.
Two people are definitely warmer than one.
Ashley turned him down.
Lins felt a little regretful.
Instead, Rex was a little envious. He gently poked the soft spider silk sleeping bag and said, "You are here for vacation, right?"
At this time, Ashley had already jumped off the sand dune and no one knew where he went.
"Dig it bigger so I can try it." Rex said.
The temperature in the desert at night was surprisingly low. Although it was not unbearable, the other female insects were sleeping warmly in high-end sleeping bags while I was blowing the cold wind. The contrast was too terrible.
Lins poked his head out of the spider silk sleeping bag. He took a deep breath and acted intoxicated. "You don't understand. This is happier than a vacation."
"Surrounded by the aura of the senior..."
Rex took three steps back and wiped his fingers that had been poking the spider silk on his body again and again: "Lins, don't be so..."
"how?"
"abnormal!"
Lins smiled and said, "Are you still sleeping? Two people, no, two bugs keep warm."
Rex waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't want to be "tightly surrounded" by Ashley's aura! It was so scary!
Beneath the sand dunes in the distance, the female insect, whose lower body had transformed back into its original form and nestled in the sand, moved uncomfortably. The spider clan's overly sensitive hearing is sometimes not a good thing.
He wanted to pull off the shawl covering his head, but stopped the moment his hand touched it.
He pulled his cape further down, covering his entire face.
Never mind, it can block the sand.
This was the second gift he received.
Maybe it can be considered the first one.
It turns out that spicy beef jerky has bugs in every dormitory. So it doesn't count.
——
When the sky turned pale, Lins opened his eyes.
Although he only slept for less than three hours, he slept very comfortably in the soft spider silk sleeping bag.
He had slept in a web made by Maple before, but Maple couldn't weave so much silk.
Lins carefully collected the spider silk into small balls. The good thing about being from the same spider family is that the spider silk can be shared.
He can also absorb these spider silks into his body.
But Ashley was already here, and it wouldn't be nice for him to eat his spider silk ball in front of Ashley.
So Lin Si carefully hung the little white ball behind his ear.
There is hair covering it, so it sticks firmly and doesn't take up any space.
Ashley's gaze lingered behind Lins's ear for a moment, and when Lins looked over, those scarlet eyes had already looked towards the oasis.
The sun had not yet risen, and the temperature was perfect for traveling, so the three of them set off quickly.
The sand boat Ashley used yesterday was a disposable prop and was automatically retracted after four hours of use.
Ashley's lower body transformed into its original form, and its eight slender legs moved rapidly alternately, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Linske can't run that fast.
Rex resigned himself to his fate and grabbed Lins. "Take a taxi in the air, and use the fare to pay for yesterday's bread."
Lins readily agreed.
Rex flapped his wings desperately, and it took a long time before he saw traces of yellow sand rising below.
He flew high enough not to worry about Ashley hearing him.
"It runs really fast. An eight-wheel drive is better than a two-wheel drive."
"Of course!"
Lins looked up at the sweaty Rex and asked, "Are you okay?"
Rex wiped the sweat from his forehead. The temperature was gradually rising at this time, and being in the sun for too long would feel like being pricked by needles.
"I have sunscreen," Lins continued. "Friendly price, I'll sell it to you for 1 point."
Rex flapped his wings angrily, and the wind he stirred up carried distorted heat waves.
The oasis is getting closer.
More and more Zergs appeared on the ground, but most of them did not get close to each other and were very far away from each other. After all, they were all competitors.
Lins's watch vibrated, and he checked and found that the mission to the oasis had been completed.
A new task has been updated.
[Major Mission 1: Rescue the Male Insect]
[A group of space pirates has kidnapped a distinguished male insect. Please rescue him and escort him to the rescue team. The mission will take five days. Upon completion of the mission, the team will receive a total of 500 points and 500 hours of life. (Each team must not exceed 4 members)
Note: The "insect quality" in this activity refers to male Zerg. Please be sure to pay attention to the needs of male Zerg during the mission.
1. It is forbidden to touch the male insects without permission.
2. Untidy clothing is prohibited.
3. Prohibition...
There was a list of prohibited behaviors below, and Lins skimmed through it several times before he could get to the bottom of it. Why so many prohibitions?
"The school is really generous. They even invited real male insects this time!" Rex said excitedly.
Although the disguise of a male insect has been used by seniors for several years, the long list of prohibitions in this mission undoubtedly proves the true identity of this "insect"!
"Five days means 120 hours. If a team has four bugs, each bug can only earn back five hours. Is there really anyone who wants to do such a loss-making business?" Lins asked.
Then Rex looked at him with a look that said, "Are you crazy?"
"That's a male! Do you know how many contribution points it takes to date a male? That's five whole days! I'd even pay you points to date him!"
Lins withdrew his question.
Humans may not do it, but female insects will.
"Oh, I forgot!" Rex slapped his forehead, "You really are a lesbian through and through!"
Rex flew down with Lins to meet up with Ashley on the ground.
"Senior, shall we accept this mission?"
The training camp is not just one mission. Although the total points awarded for the "Save the Male Insect" mission are high, the cost-effectiveness is not high.
First of all, the five-day mission duration is enough to kill a large part of the Zerg that do not have enough time value.
Secondly, the prerequisite for completing the mission is to hand the male insect over to the rescue team. This means that during the escort process, he could be intercepted by other female insects at any time. The winner is the one who laughs last. If you invest a lot of energy in the rescue and escort process, but are intercepted at the last moment, the initial investment will be lost.
Finally, during the mission, it was necessary to satisfy the male insect's needs. As everyone knows, male insects are extremely delicate creatures, and hiding him in the dense forest for five days is definitely not an easy task. This has nothing to do with personal ability, but the male insect is too uncontrollable.
Ashley glanced at Lins.
He was still wearing the transparent cloak that Lins had given him last night. His skin, which was a darker shade of honey than wheat, and the red marks slanting down his face, made him look quite exotic at first glance.
"Answer it." Ashley's answer was concise and to the point.
Lins glanced at him and dimples appeared on his face as well. "Yeah, after we finish this job, we can find a place to rest."
Rex stuck his head out: "Add me one, add me one!"
Lins raised his wrist and lit up the time on his watch. "Oh my, Senior gave me 100 hours. I can survive without taking any other missions during that time."
Rex's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
"Do you also have a good senior who can transfer time value to you?" Lins continued, putting emphasis on the word 'good', and speaking in a tortuous and melodious way.
"..." Rex choked for a long time, "Lins, don't go too far! I'm going to go earn some time first, bye!"
He flapped his wings and quickly disappeared into the dense green forest.
"Senior, let's go." Lins turned around.
Ashley has returned to his original form. Lins followed him and took a look. He found that the cloak could be modified. It was just right when he was in human form, but if he was in his ancestral form, it would not cover the senior's butt.
The UV rays here are so strong, and black absorbs heat! Just don't let it get sunburned!
but……
If Ashley's lower body transforms into spider form, doesn't that mean he's been running around naked? OMG, the Zerg are so open!
Perhaps Lins's dirty thoughts had been revealed through his eyes, Ashley turned around suddenly, staring at him with a pair of scarlet eyes.
Lin Si appeared nonchalant and approached with a smile, "Senior, are you waiting for me?"
——
The oasis is a huge basin with abundant rainfall, making people forget the scene of yellow sand all over the sky half an hour ago.
The vegetation towers into the sky, and the hanging vines look more like snakes entwined in the treetops.
Lins tucked his trouser legs into his boots again. What made him uncomfortable was that the boots, which had excellent insulation properties in the desert, became a burden at this moment.
The airtight boots trapped all the rainwater.
Lins couldn't imagine what strange smell his feet would have.
Alas!
Ashley made him jealous.
He ran and jumped in the jungle with his bare feet, but he didn't get any mud on his feet and was not scratched by sharp stones.
Lins thought: What material is this foot made of?
But Lins couldn't do that.
There was a layer of fallen leaves piled up in the dense forest, and countless insects and snakes were hidden in the rotten leaves.
Snakes are fine! The Zerg even has insects!
Lins didn't understand. Didn't the Zerg evolve from insects?
His mind was full of activity, but his speed did not slow down.
They planned to first find the place where the male insect's "insect plasma" was trapped, not to save him - they were already prepared to intercept it at the last moment.
They want to harvest a plate of leeks first.
As we all know, the male insect is to the female insect as the granary is to the rat and honey is to the bear.
Wherever there are male insects, there must be countless female insects.
They just need to randomly select a few "little cuties" and perhaps they can get enough health points in advance.
