Chapter 75 Fate
Lins put on a veil.
This is a very common decoration among male insects. After all, the skin of male insects is not strengthened, and the overly strong light on some planets will sunburn their skin.
"Sit here." Instructor Yang asked Lins to climb to the top of the tower. There was an open attic there, which was suitable for enjoying the scenery. It was also a relatively high place in the town.
Yang Li looked at Ashley again and said, "When the freshmen come back, you will kidnap him in front of everyone. Remember, don't be too fast. Make sure they can clearly see that you are holding a male insect!"
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Ashley's eyes were wandering.
Didn't listen to him at all.
Yang Li: “…”
He sighed and looked in the direction where Ashley's gaze rested.
"You tell him," he said to Lins.
Lins turned his head and met Ashley's scarlet eyes.
Ashley tilted his head as if burned by a spark.
"So pretty?" Lins raised an eyebrow, tugged at the earrings on his chest, and said teasingly, "Senior Ashley, you like this tune."
Ashley didn't answer.
He wore a black respirator and a tight black training suit that hugged his muscular frame, outlining his broad chest and lean waist. He wore overalls, which were cinched at the calves with white straps that extended into his combat boots.
Every inch of his muscle is full of explosive power.
The red marks on Ashley's face gave him a dangerous aura, as if he were some kind of forbidden totem.
But such a ferocious beast had its throat locked by a silver collar.
Lins's gaze lingered on his neck.
Suddenly, Ashley dodged into the darkness.
Lins also felt the vibration coming from afar.
——New students have returned.
Ashley's eyes shot out from the darkness.
Scarlet and sharp.
Lins became excited.
That's it.
A spotted spider in the dark, ready to hunt.
——
"What a smell! It smells so good."
"Foolish! Of course it's Lord Lightan's pheromones!"
"Maybe it's the White Eye Flower?"
"Don't come any closer. The respirator filters we distributed last night should have been used up long ago. Otherwise, I might scare you with a fake estrus!"
Yesterday, they were able to attend the dinner because of the invitation of Mr. Lightan. In order to prevent a riot, the instructors gave them all simple respirators.
That is to say, the filter element is only effective for half a day.
By now, it's no longer useful, so it was cleared out of the town early. Only after earning points can you redeem filters and re-enter.
The newborn, whose dominant insect species is a dragonfly, noticed the shadow on the tower.
"I saw Lord Lightan."
"Where, where?" A female insect approached him. They were still some distance from the town. "I never thought we could have dinner with you last night."
"Up in the tower, he's having afternoon tea."
"Oh! Lord Lightan is so elegant, and the shirt he wears today suits him very well." Dragonfly continued, describing the male insect's behavior to everyone in vivid detail.
Although I can't see the male insect's expression clearly, his demeanor is so elegant.
“Oh no!”
Suddenly, the dragonfly tribe screamed, scaring the freshmen.
"What's wrong?!"
Before they could react, the dragonfly insects suddenly spread their wings and flew towards the tower.
"Go and save him! He's been swept away by a female insect!!!"
Immediately afterwards, all the new students' bracelets vibrated.
Some of them were still running towards the oasis in the desert, while others were taking small tasks to earn points so that they could quickly exchange them for respirators and enter the town.
At this moment, everyone is concentrating on checking the tasks.
[Major Mission 3: Pirates' Counterattack]
The pirates were attacked by the rescue team and lost their base in the oasis. Upon hearing this, the pirate leader decided to seek revenge and sneaked into the town to take away the male insect. Please rescue the male insect and defeat the pirate leader.
According to the rescue team members who witnessed the incident, the pirate leader had six red scars on his face. Rescuing the male insect earns 200 points, and defeating the pirate leader earns an additional 500 points.
[Note 1: Sir Male Insect did not recognize the pirate leader and mistakenly thought he was a family reinforcement.]
【Note 2: The pirate leader indiscriminately attacks members of the rescue team and those not on the rescue team.】
All the female insects who received the message had stiff faces.
"Six red marks, could this feature be any more obvious?"
"Hmm... well, the points for defeating the pirate leader are higher than the points for rescuing the male insect. Doesn't that speak volumes?"
"Indiscriminate attack means that the pirate leader will not only not hide from us, but will also hunt us down?" Several female insects together complained about this mission.
Until the channel used only by the newly "dead" appeared with messages.
[It's confirmed, friends. It was an indiscriminate attack. I'm dead.]
[I'm dead too. I didn't even finish reading the mission message...]
[Same death, quick death, no pain.]
【Coordinates: 182.152】
【Coordinates: 127.103】
[You are so bad, you still report your coordinates even after you die.]
[Hehe, although he's dead, it was His Excellency the Male Insect who personally collected his body for me. He smells so good, I love him so much.]
【A little bit of jealousy】
[The pirate leader is grilling fish for Sir Male Insect! I'm impressed! Sir Male Insect has such a sweet smile! He has dimples! I love them! But he has no idea that he's the pirate leader! TT, I'm the rescue team, Sir!]
"Did the pirate leader knock you over? Sir Male Insect certainly knows this is a mission, you're getting a little too caught up in it."
[Mister Male Insect pressed the elimination button for me. I can smell his fragrance. Oh my god, he looks like a piece of strawberry shortcake... It's so wonderful. Compared to him, White Eye Flower is just garbage!!!]
[Strawberry Shortcake +1, how can there be such a sweet person!!!]
【It makes me want to die again.】
[This makes me want to die again +1]
The freshmen who saw the news bar scrolling frantically said: …
Isn't this death a bit too quick?
Also, is it really a strawberry shortcake? Do you want to die?
On the other hand, in order to complete Instructor Yang Li’s task of “making their presence more noticeable”, Lins and Ashley kept appearing around the female insect.
In order to maintain his male insect character, whenever Ashley approached a female insect, he would reach out and embrace Lins. Lins wore a veil and would occasionally complain in front of the "dead" about being hungry, thirsty, exposed to the sun, or blown by the wind.
So unlucky female insects kept contributing their equipment and food reserves to Lins.
Lins accepted all the sweet, spicy and delicious food without hesitation. He even got a long-range attack weapon contributed by a female insect.
Lins immediately passed the ball to Ashley.
The oversized, muscular female insect sat on the ground, looking at Lins with a broken and doggy expression.
He finally understood what the ultimate bootlicker was.
[He said: I'll bring you breakfast.
The male insect said: "Two. Bring one for my female, too."
With this long-range attack weapon, they eliminated the new students faster.
Until Lins's bracelet began to vibrate violently.
"212830." Lins raised an eyebrow. "It's Instructor Yang."
He clicked on it.
Instructor Yang roared from the other side: "Your mission is to show off in front of the freshmen, not to kill them!"
"Hurry up and tell Ashley to stop. This isn't a sniper range! The other freshmen are here for training, not to be his sitting ducks!"
"But we don't have any supplies." Lins laughed. He spoke in a deliberately affected and innocent manner.
"Your airdrop is now free."
"Thank you, Instructor Yang~"
Yang Li hung up the call with a bang, interrupting Lins's rippling wave in the middle.
So the tilde was heard only by Ashley.
His scarlet eyes swept over the insect in front of him that was gloating, and he silently looked away.
Lins shrugged: "The instructor doesn't allow us to kill insects anymore."
"Speak normally." Ashley couldn't stand Lins's voice that was always changing.
"Hey?" Lins smiled and came closer, "Senior Ashley~~"
Ashley wrapped him up in a ball again and hung him from the tree.
“…”
"Senior Ashley~~"
"Kiss Ashley—"
"My little darling, the cutest spider~"
Ashley glared at him, and then all the red marks on her face burst out.
Lins: Wink~
Finally, Ashley had no choice but to wrap Lins in a cocoon, wrapping more and more threads until it formed a huge, closed bird's nest-like shape.
Ashley then gave Lins, who was inside the cocoon, a strand of spider silk.
Or rather, a thread.
As soon as Lins' fingers touched the spider silk, he automatically began to reel it in.
He stopped making noise and sat quietly in his cocoon.
He flipped his fingers, and a small ball grew from the size of a pea to the size of a ping-pong ball, and finally to the size of a basketball.
When Lins finally saw the sky outside, Ashley had already lit the fire and started cutting the fish.
At this time, there was a hole in the big cocoon hanging on the tree, just enough for one person to enter and exit.
Lins jumped down from the cave, tied up his long hair that was in the way with spider silk, rolled up his sleeves, sat next to Ashley, and started grilling fish.
The fire crackled, but Ashley said nothing.
"Ashley, you're pretty cute."
Lins didn't look at Ashley, but instead carefully turned the grilled fish to prevent it from burning.
This also made Ashley relax slightly. His wide-open eyes slowly drooped, staring at the grilled fish in his hands.
When the surface of the fish was roasted until golden brown, Ashley took out a green and yellow fruit of an unknown variety, cut it open and squeezed it. The juice splashed on the fire, making a sizzling sound, and gave the roasted fish a hint of refreshing fruity aroma in addition to the burnt aroma.
"I didn't realize you were a cooking genius." Lins took a bite of the fish. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and extremely sweet.
"Don't want to eat it?" Lins handed the grilled fish to Ashley. "Oh, I still have male insect pheromones on me. I'll step aside for now."
Ashley couldn't take off the respirator because the real male insect pheromone had a worse effect on the female insect than the white-eye flower.
The female insect shook her head and took out the nutrients she had extracted from the freshmen who were eliminated today.
"Who would eat that if there are fish to eat?" Lins snatched the nutrient solution and walked quickly to the stream. "That's great. I'll take a shower first."
Seeing Ashley trying to stop him, Lins waved his hand: "My head itches."
Ashley realized that Lins was not a real male insect.
He is not afraid of the darkness, female insects, or star beasts.
He lowered his eyes and saw a piece of fish that was roasted over the fire fall off.
The fire surged up and burned it to ashes.
Perhaps it was the same fate as his.
