Su Su went to say goodbye to Yan Bai happily, but when he came back he was worried.
Do you really want to test Qi Hanyi? Su Su was somewhat resistant in his heart.
His world has always been simple and straightforward. He fights for whatever he wants, flips over the sea when he's happy, and kills each other when he's angry. But since coming to the human world, Su Su has discovered that the rules here are completely different. Everyone has secrets and their own calculations. Since coming to the human world, he has told more and more lies and has to hide more and more secrets.
After returning to the room, Su Su found that Qi Hanyi had already left, and the person who came to pick him up was Uncle Li, the housekeeper of Qi Hanyi's family.
Uncle Li smiled at Su Su in a simple and honest way: "Young Master has something else to do, so he left first, and he specifically asked me to pick you up."
Su Su was relieved when he heard this. For a moment he really didn't know how to tell Qi Hanyi.
The housekeeper packed up their things and took Su Su down the mountain. The shuttle bus to take them home had already stopped at the door.
Seeing the shuttle, Su Su's eyes lit up, and he finally stopped worrying about the problem.
Seeing his delight, the butler also laughed: "Young Master said that you were very interested in the shuttle bus you took yesterday. He asked me to accompany you. You can play as long as you want today."
"Really?" Su Su got into the car excitedly and fastened his seat belt obediently.
I sighed in my heart again: Qi Hanyi is so nice.
He didn't mind his big appetite and allowed himself to eat as much as he wanted. He also remembered that he liked the shuttle bus and specifically asked people to play with him.
He is so good to me, so he would definitely not be angry with me just because of a game permission like Yan Bai said.
At this time, Qi Hanyi was busy fighting.
"Bang!" Shadow Lion was kicked backwards by the huge force and hit the wall heavily. He was seriously injured, with blood stains all over his body and his arms hanging down strangely from the joints. He used his uninjured hand to support the ground and tried to stand up, but a piercing pain came from his ankle.
Shadow Lion simply let go of his strength, leaned against the wall, looked up and smiled: "Why are you so angry so early in the morning? Are you going to kill someone, General Qi?"
Qi Hanyi stopped and straightened his clothes which were a little messy because of the activity. "Yingshi, for the sake of our past friendship, this is just a warning. I advise you and your master to be more restrained. I don't want to get involved in your fight, but the Qi family is my bottom line. If you do these little tricks again, I will kill you."
Shadow Lion blinked innocently: "What little tricks, what master behind, I don't understand. I only know that you pulled me out of my bed and beat me up early this morning. You are an admiral, and I am just an idler. I can't beat you now, and you can't break into people's houses and bully an unarmed civilian like me, right?"
"Don't play dumb. It was you who tricked my mermaid into an empty room in Mo's house yesterday in my name. You brought two men to ambush in the room, injured the mermaid, and fed him medicine. One of your men should have a bite wound on his arm, and a piece of flesh fell off. I have sent someone to take a sample of the bitten flesh. Do you want your men to come out for a genetic comparison?" Qi Hanyi said seriously, although in fact the flesh had already been cleaned up by Yan Bai's men.
Shadow Lion didn't know that Qi Hanyi was just deceiving him. A trace of regret flashed across his eyes, thinking that he had made an oversight and left evidence.
Qi Hanyi: "It's over now, I don't want to pursue it anymore, but if there's a next time, I will settle the score for this time as well."
"Why would you beat me like this if I didn't want to pursue the matter?" Shadow Lion laughed angrily, "I was very lenient with your merman yesterday. If he hadn't resisted so fiercely, I wouldn't have intended to hurt him."
Qi Hanyi was unmoved: "I didn't intend to hurt him, but I intended to kill him directly with medicine."
"It's just a mermaid," Shadow Lion said with a sigh, "Qi Hanyi, you have never been angry about such things before, and you have never taken such childish revenge. I'm wondering, are you in love with that mermaid?"
Qi Hanyi seemed to have heard some ridiculous joke and said, "I will never fall in love with a mermaid. Never."
After leaving Shadow Lion's residence, Qi Hanyi turned around and stepped onto the shuttle and connected to his adjutant Jian Cheng.
"What is it?"
"Sir, you asked me to investigate Yan Bai yesterday. We followed him out of the Mo family and found that he did not return directly to the Yan family, but went to Hongyi Bay."
"Honglu Bay?" Qi Hanyi was unfamiliar with this place: "What place?"
"This is the famous red-light district in the capital." Jian Cheng explained awkwardly, "And it's the kind between men."
Qi Hanyi didn't have any special reaction, but continued to ask: "What is Yan Bai going to do?"
"He..." Jian Cheng paused, "This morning, he had someone knock Zhang Lu unconscious, fed him that medicine, and then dumped him in the back alley of Hongli Bay... Now the effect of the medicine has taken effect on Zhang Lu..."
Jian Cheng did not continue to speak. The scene was indeed a little disgusting. Zhang Lu was not good-looking, but at least he was a young man with fair skin. For the guests from Honglu Bay, he was quite delicious.
Because of the effect of the drug, he has lost his mind, and his clothes are disheveled. He is clinging to other people everywhere, just like a meat bun stuffed into a dog's mouth, which is bound to be eaten.
Not only that, Yan Bai also had someone secretly record the incident and post it on the Internet. With this incident, not only was Zhang Lu's future ruined, but the Zhang family also became a laughing stock in the entire imperial capital. They were afraid that they would no longer be able to stay in the aristocratic circle.
"This young master of the Yan family is really a badass. He is not afraid that if the truth is revealed, the Zhang family will take revenge on him. After all, he is an old noble family in the imperial capital. If the situation gets to that extent, even the Yan family will be hurt."
"Besides you, did anyone else realize that it was Yan Bai who did it?" Qi Hanyi asked.
"Probably not. This young master did a very clean job. I didn't even notice when the drug was injected. They replaced the driver from the Zhang family and made it look like a kidnapping for money."
"If he hadn't insisted on coming to see the excitement, and if I hadn't installed a listening device in the compartment of the Hung Hom Tea House, I wouldn't have known that he had caused such a big news."
Jian Cheng asked Qi Hanyi: "General, what should we do now?"
"Use my authority to erase Yan Bai's whereabouts in Hongji Bay." Qi Hanyi said.
"You want to help him?" Jian Cheng was a little surprised.
"Just consider it as a favor for helping take care of the mermaid last night." Qi Hanyi said.
Qi Hanyi did doubt Yan Bai, but let's put it this way. At least in the matter of Zhang Lu, Qi Hanyi and Yan Bai's interests were the same. If Yan Bai didn't take action against Zhang Lu, Qi Hanyi would not let Zhang Lu go easily. Now that Yan Bai had taken over, he didn't mind helping out secretly.
After Qi Hanyi finished doing this, he returned to his residence.
I was so addicted to riding the Su Su shuttle that I didn't go home until my stomach growled with hunger.
"I'm back!" He went straight to the restaurant, where Qi Hanyi was having lunch. He changed into a home suit with less sharp lines, but his sitting posture was still as straight as if he was attending a royal banquet.
He ate gracefully, but not slowly. When Su Su came, the rice in his bowl was already empty. He only ate a few dishes in front of him, leaving a table full of food untouched, all prepared for Su Su.
"Great! They're all my favorite foods!" Su Su seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness. He rubbed his hands happily, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
"The shuttle was so much fun. The housekeeper also took me for a ride outside the city. It was the first time I saw the mountains on the ground. There was a road that was so steep. I felt like I was flying as I swooped down from the top of the mountain. We also went into a cave. There was a waterfall at the exit. The water was rushing down, and there was even a rainbow..."
The young man talked excitedly about his experience riding the shuttle, and the smile on his face was brighter than a rainbow.
Qi Hanyi lowered his eyes, as if he didn't hear Su Su's words. He quietly finished his food and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"I'm full, take your time."
"Ah?" Su Su was halfway through his words when the audience ran away. The smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes showed obvious disappointment. He responded obediently: "Then you are busy."
Qi Hanyi was not actually busy. It was the truce period and he was on vacation. There were not many things he needed to deal with every day. With his efficiency, he could finish them all before dinner.
Qi Hanyi started a most difficult firearms training, manipulating the mecha to meet the swarming Zerg.
The sound of bullets exploding filled his chaotic thoughts. Countless training sessions had made Qi Hanyi's operation almost an instinct. The mecha nimbly dodged and attacked under the siege of the Zerg, and each attack just shattered the control nerve of a Zerg.
But Qi Hanyi's thoughts uncontrollably strayed away from the battle.
Qi Hanyi had faced many difficult people, those with deep scheming, domineering personalities, and overwhelming power. But he was helpless against the mermaid who had always been innocent and even seemed a little silly.
He would never admit that he was attracted to a mermaid, but he couldn't explain why his heart beat faster and his blood boiled when she appeared.
Su Su's dazed state last night flashed through his mind again. Qi Hanyi fired a bullet off target, which was rare, and the insect's sharp beak full of teeth bit his abdomen. The mecha was slightly damaged.
Qi Hanyi hadn't made such a low-level mistake in many years. He was distracted.
After quitting the fight, Qi Hanyi took a shower, sat by the window and lit a cigarette, thinking about how things were gradually getting out of his control.
He was originally planning to cancel the engagement, but changed his mind after seeing Su Su.
After all, breaking off the engagement directly would be tantamount to confronting his grandfather, and that kind of situation was not what he wanted to see. The next best thing is to let Su Su live here for a while, which is actually not that unbearable.
Su Su is very obedient. As long as he is given food, he will cooperate with me. He stays in his own pool on weekdays, doesn't ask questions, doesn't look around, and doesn't make noises. I just think of him as raising a talking shark. There's nothing wrong with that.
The question is whether Su Su has become a human? But this is actually what he expected. He needs a mermaid to take out. Fortunately, at the banquet, when he was going to deal with the inspection of his grandfather, Su Su's transformation came at the right time. Instead of causing trouble, it was actually helpful.
Was it because of Su Su's behavior last night? But he didn't take the medicine voluntarily, so it was his own negligence that caused the accident.
What could he blame Su Su for? Blame him for being too good-looking and always teasing him unintentionally?
If this can be considered a crime, then Su Su is indeed extremely evil.
There was a knock on the door, interrupting Qi Hanyi's thoughts. The culprit poked his head out of the door and asked, "Can I come in?"
Qi Hanyi exhaled lightly, and the smoke dissipated, covering the expression on his face: "Come in, I also have something to tell you."
Su Su stared at Qi Hanyi and felt that he looked a little strange.
In Su Su's impression, Qi Hanyi has always been a person with clear goals and strict self-discipline. The young man in front of him was leaning slightly on the windowsill, holding a cigarette between his slender fingers, standing in a relaxed posture, his eyes looking casually into the distance, his brows furrowed, and he looked a little distressed.
But this expression was fleeting, and when he saw himself, he had returned to his usual cold and self-contained appearance.
Su Su just thought about it for a long time while eating. He felt that although Qi Hanyi said that he hated mermaids, he was actually not bad to him. Su Su wanted to find out why Qi Hanyi hated mermaids. He hoped that Qi Hanyi would say something different from Yan Bai, but even if it was the same, he had to find out.
Qi Hanyi put out his cigarette, opened the window, and let the wind dispel the smell on his body.
"What do you want from me?"
"Yesterday at the banquet, I heard everyone discussing a game called "Star Wars". I was a little curious, but I couldn't find this game on the Mermaid's personal terminal..." Su Su recalled what Yan Bai taught him.
"Do you want to play Star Wars?" Qi Hanyi asked, interrupting Su Su.
"Is it okay?" Su Su's eyes were filled with anticipation. But it was not anticipation for the game, but anticipation for Qi Hanyi and the kindness of human beings.
"No." Qi Hanyi refused bluntly: "This game doesn't allow mermaids to log in, so you can't find it."
If it was another game, Qi Hanyi might be able to help think of a solution, but "Star Wars" is an online game with military significance, so it naturally would not allow mermaids to come into contact.
Su Su did not give up and continued: "I heard there are some ways to change the account permissions?"
"Who told you, Yan Bai? Did he ask you to find him in the game?" Qi Hanyi's expression turned cold. "The Empire has laws that prohibit mermaids from logging into human networks. If they are caught, it is a capital crime. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."
capital offense……
Exactly the same as Yan Bai said.
So what Yan Bai said was true. Humans really were on guard against mermaids. On the surface, they were friendly, but in reality, they were secretly on guard against them and regarded them as aliens.
"But why? Why can't mermaids play games with humans? Why can't mermaids log into the human network?" Su Su asked unwillingly.
Qi Hanyi was about to say something to Su Su when he suddenly heard a sharp question.
[Why...why can't mermaids be treated equally with humans? Why can you arrogantly control the lives of mermaids? Damn it! You all deserve to die!]
It was the voice of the mermaid called "Mother".
She had asked the same question before.
My head started to hurt badly.
It's a precursor to a mental breakdown, and it's happening more and more frequently lately.
"There is no reason. Humans and mermaids are born different creatures. Humans marry mermaids just for the purpose of reproduction." Qi Hanyi didn't know who he was explaining to. Perhaps even he himself was not satisfied with this answer.
But who cares?
"I don't need you to reproduce for me. You just need to stay here for a while and behave yourself. Once I have dealt with this, I will let you leave."
The headache gradually blurred his vision, but Qi Hanyi forced himself to straighten his back. At least from the outside, he didn't look like he was feeling unwell at all.
"I will arrange your food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you have other ideas, you can also put them forward, but don't push your luck." The tone of the last sentence was almost a warning.
"Oh." Su Su lowered his head, feeling very depressed. It was strange. He had hoped to be kept as a pet at home, with food and shelter provided, and no worries about food and clothing. But now that he had received such an answer, why was he not satisfied?
Is it because he is not law-abiding enough, because he is pushing his limits?
Qi Hanyi breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the purpose of letting Su Su in, and added: "I will not be at home for some time in the future. If you have something to do, you can go to Xiao You, and don't send me messages if you don't have anything. No one will disturb you in the room you live in, and you don't have to worry about your life. I changed Xiao You's recognition settings, so he can recognize you even if you turn into a shark."
He had just made the decision to move out from here. The Expeditionary Army Headquarters still had a dormitory for him, and he planned to stay there for a while.
"That's it. You can get out now."
"Oh." Su Su didn't think much about it, just thinking that Qi Hanyi was busy with something. It was good for him to leave, so he could log into the game and look for Yan Bai without worrying about being discovered.
Thinking of this, Su Su did not feel very happy, but instead felt a little empty.
But life must go on, and Su Su's loss did not last long. He returned to his room, opened the terminal, and logged into the game.
Unlike the mermaid terminal which only has an additional aerial projection screen, the human personal terminal can be connected through mental power.
The moment Su Su opened the game, he felt the world spinning in front of his eyes, the scene around him went from real to virtual, his body felt light, and it was as if his consciousness had lost contact with his body.
When he opened his eyes again, he was on a huge platform, which was made of unknown metal. The pure white lines and simple structure were full of technology. The transparent glass curtain was like a bowl upside down on the platform, forming the wall and the sky. Outside the glass was the dark sky, the brilliant Milky Way, the sun, the moon and the stars arranged in order, as if he was really in the vast universe.
A round-headed ball of light floated in front of Su Su: [Welcome player yy38762560 to log in to the game "Star Wars". This is the login hall. I am your guide, Xingxing.]
A guide is a physical guide for beginners.
Xingxing demonstrated the basic operations and setting methods of the entire game to Su Su in detail, and explained to him a series of functions and gameplay of the game.
Su Su followed Xiao Xing's instructions to set up the game character. Because the operation of this game is mainly on the mecha and starship panels, the player's image setting is very free. Su Su chose a blue cartoon shark with short hands and feet, black eyes, and a big mouth, which looked very cute and adorable.
Su Su learned his lesson from the last time and did not use his real name anymore. Instead, he planned to change it to [Shark] which was more in line with his image.
However, the name "Shark" had already been registered. Su Su tried to change it to some related phrases, but it showed that they were all registered.
After trying a dozen times, Su Su became impatient and randomly typed a long string of characters on the page.
Unexpectedly, I accidentally tapped the confirmation button, and the system immediately popped up a prompt: [Congratulations to the user "Shark Naming Is Really Difficult Ah Ah Ah" for successfully registering. 】
Su Su: ...
"Can I change my name?" Su Su looked at his guide.
Xingxing immediately and considerately popped up a payment prompt: "Purchase a name change card for 300/time, yes/no?"
No money, sorry for the interruption.
Su Su silently chose no. Because of poverty, he accepted his name, which seemed a bit strange.
Next, Xingxing began to introduce the specific game content.
Drive mechs and starships through space and experience real life in the space station.
Simulate the war between humans and Zerg, and truly restore the mecha operation and combat experience.
Assemble a starship team, compete in the starship mecha arena, and participate in mecha driving competitions. Those with outstanding performance can receive hundreds of millions of bonuses, and have the opportunity to be specially recruited to study at the Imperial Military Academy, join the Imperial Expeditionary Force, and board the real Shirazawa starship.
At first, Su Su was still thinking about looking for Yan Bai, but when he started to experience the actual operation of the machine, he was completely fascinated.
Su Su was not very interested in mechas, but instead felt a strong attraction to starships.
Su Su was driving only the most basic training starship, which was also the blank starship given to every novice by the system, and it was not difficult to get started.
Su Su learned it for a while before boldly increasing the speed to full. The huge starship was like a nimble big fish, swinging its blue-purple tail flame, shuttling through the sea of stars.
Su Su liked the huge size of this starship, the speed at which it galloped freely in the universe, the thrilling leaps, the passage through the asteroid belt filled with rubble and broken planets, and the control of the mecha to dangerously avoid collisions.
This thrilling feeling is far beyond what a shuttle can provide. Traveling in space is like entering another mysterious ocean, which is more vast and more magical than the ocean he has been in before.
Su Su felt a wonderful fit, as if he was born to belong here, from the first time he jumped out of the water and looked up at the starry sky above his head, from the first time he saw the starship named Bai Ze in the textbook.
It turned out that his budding desire had been buried deep in his heart since then.
Su Su was having so much fun that he completely forgot about meeting Yan Bai. It was not until hunger reminded him that he remembered that it was time for dinner.
Su Su reluctantly exited his account, and when he opened his eyes he found himself lying on a chair in the room with his eyes closed, just like when he started the game.
Su Su finished his meal as quickly as possible in a daze, and returned to the game as quickly as possible.
However, just after logging in, he found that his starship was shaking violently, accompanied by deafening explosions and sharp alarms.
"Bang!"
[Alert, the starship is under attack! Current damage level 20%.]
