Xiang Chen finally gave the medicine to Qi Hanyi.
After Qi Hanyi finished the examination, he went to the training room for training as usual. Although his mental power could no longer be used, he still had to keep up with training in other aspects.
Su Su stayed in Qi Hanyi's room, watching the housekeeper move his clothes, supplies, and even a small fish tank into the room one by one, slowly filling up the originally empty room. He suddenly wondered if his previous decision to live with Qi Hanyi was a bit hasty.
Putting aside other things, we live under the same roof every day. What if Qi Hanyi finds out that I am secretly playing games behind his back?
Before Su Su could come up with a solution, the butler brought in a two-meter-long, one-meter-wide round pod. Several robots in charge of installation connected the top of the pod to Su Su's pool, making it clear that it was for his use.
Su Su had never seen this thing before, so he curiously chased after the housekeeper and asked, "What is this?"
"It's the nutrition chamber from Star Wars." Qi Hanyi pushed the door open and walked out of the training room. He had just taken a shower and there was still some undried moisture on his head, which did dispel the chill he had felt before.
"Give...give this to me? I can't play with it." Su Su was more surprised than happy, and looked around guiltily.
Why send him to the nutrition cabin? Did Qi Hanyi know that he was secretly playing games? Didn't he say that if he was caught, he would be sentenced to death?
...Why doesn't he look like he's angry?
"I can help you modify the permissions." Qi Hanyi looked at Su Su seriously: "I'm sorry for saying that to you before. You can play the game as long as you want in the future."
"When I customized this game cabin, I modified the identification system. Even if you turn back into a shark or a mermaid, you can still play the game in it as usual without any interference."
Su Su looked at the design on the nutrition cabin and found it was indeed very detailed, including the door for him to enter and exit the cabin. There were two ways designed. One was to open it from the top like a normal nutrition cabin, so that he could get up and walk out. The other was to open the passage connected to the pool, so that Su Su could swim directly back to the pool where he lived through the passage.
Su Su stared at the game cabin eagerly, his eyes clearly showing love, but his expression was also a bit conflicted - if he asked Qi Hanyi to change the authorization for him, wouldn't he be exposed immediately?
But if he refused, he would have no reason to play games in Qi Hanyi's room in the future. How could he compete then?
Besides... a nutrition capsule. Living in it, he doesn't need to be interrupted by various real-life things and can concentrate on playing games. He has wanted one for a long time.
Su Su thought it over again and again, and finally chose to tell the truth. Since Qi Hanyi had already agreed to let him play the game, it meant that Qi Hanyi didn't think there was anything wrong with mermaids playing games, so it shouldn't be a big deal for him to play earlier.
Su Su held the smooth outer shell of the nutrition capsule and said, "Actually... I already have authorization."
"You have..." Qi Hanyi's face changed slightly: "Who gave it to you?"
Su Su shook his head. He didn't want to betray Yan Bai, so he whispered, "Can you not ask?"
Qi Hanyi was silent for a moment, revealing a somewhat helpless look: "Okay, I won't ask."
Su Su looked up at him in surprise. Are you so easy to talk to today?
Su Su felt a little guilty, and was afraid that Qi Hanyi would regret it, so he quickly said, "Then I'm going to play games."
"Yes." After Su Su entered the game cabin, Qi Hanyi stepped forward to hold his lid and added: "Since you didn't tell me who gave you the account, remember not to tell him that I gave you the game cabin. Just assume that I still don't know about your playing games."
"Okay." Su Su nodded, thinking, is this some strange competitive mentality of human beings at work?
Unable to figure it out, he simply gave up, covered the game cabin, and entered the game.
Qi Hanyi had actually guessed the answer.
Su Su had not come into contact with many humans, and the ones he was familiar with could be counted on one hand. The one with the most suspicious behavior was Yan Bai, and it was after Su Su finished talking to him that he asked to play the game with him.
Qi Hanyi originally suspected that Yan Bai and Su Su had made some agreement, which was why Su Su mentioned the "Star Wars" game to him. Now it seemed that Yan Bai not only asked Su Su to use the game rights to test him, but also had already determined that he would reject Su Su, so he gave the rights to Su Su in advance.
If you just want to play games with Su Su, there is no need to make so many calculations. The other party obviously has ulterior motives.
Qi Hanyi did not ask Su Su any more questions, but opened his communication and contacted the deputy general Jian Cheng: "Investigate Yan Bai, what did you find?"
Jian Cheng: "After returning to the company, he worked during the day and was busy with social activities at night. He would go drinking with his subordinates when necessary and occasionally play games. His life was very regular and nothing unusual was found."
No abnormality was found. Qi Hanyi stared at this sentence.
The biggest anomaly is the absence of abnormality. Yan Bai's personality in front of others is that of a young master with an arrogant temper. He was able to vent his anger for Su Su and ruin the reputation of the only son of a noble family with a high status. Such a person returned to his own company, but he did not make trouble, did not cause trouble, went to work quietly every day, and played games occasionally?
From the last contact, Qi Hanyi could feel that Yan Bai was not as arrogant as he appeared, nor was he a brainless fool. But as a merchant's adopted son, why would he need to pretend to be such a person? In other words, if he pretended to be so that others could relax their vigilance, whose vigilance did he want to relax? What did he want to do after this?
Qi Hanyi: "You play games occasionally? Star Wars?"
"It's Star Wars." Jian Cheng told all the information he had found out in one go: "He also founded a guild called the White Scale Guild. He is the president. His game account is called 'Bai'."
White Scale Guild?
White scale...shark?
Qi Hanyi's eyes turned strange.
Su Su is a shark, a novice player, because the day his video became famous was exactly the day after the banquet. And he just happened to join Yan Bai's guild. And the tone of his voice and the way he does things sometimes make me feel that he is somewhat similar to Su Su. The identity of Freedom Island is fake, and the character of Free Boy is fake. He said that he has no parents to take care of him and he makes a living by fishing, but it is true because he is a shark.
Although it was a surprise, Qi Hanyi was certain:
This player with superior talent and simple personality, whom I admire and even want to recruit, is Su Su!
No wonder he said he wanted to get first place but didn't want to see me. It was because he was yearning for the Bai Ze, but said that even if he got first place, he couldn't get on it.
Qi Hanyi thought: If Su Su could really get first place in the competition, it would be a good opportunity to prove to those stubborn people in the empire that mermaids have the talent to drive starships, and their talent is even stronger than that of humans, and that his father’s choice was correct.
The Shirazawa might just get its first mermaid pilot.
Thinking of this, Qi Hanyi also sat on the chair and connected to the game.
When Su Su came online, the friends in his list were not online. After a few minutes, the avatar of [Reverse & Ghost] lit up.
Su Su received a task to clear the Zerg wandering around the protection zone. The preliminary competition included a part of fighting against Zerg, and he had never killed Zerg before, so he planned to get familiar with the operation first.
Seeing his friend online, Su Su immediately popped over and said, "I've accepted a mission, do you want to join me?"
Qi Hanyi saw the message from Su Su and felt a little complicated. He wanted to confess his identity to Su Su. After confessing, he could help Su Su train legitimately, and he could also promise him that if he could become the first in the competition, he would help him become the next driver of Bai Ze.
But Qi Hanyi remembered that when he met Su Su, he also told a lot of lies, saying that his starship driving skills were not good, and he passed the professional test on the line, and then said that he failed to register. Su Su foolishly accepted all his lies and was determined to teach him how to drive a starship. If he knew that he was lying to him, he might be angry.
Qi Hanyi didn't notice it. He seldom cared about what people around him thought before, but now he was hesitant because Su Su might be angry.
Just when Qi Hanyi was hesitating, Su Su's invitation popped up, asking him to go fight the insect tribe.
Qi Hanyi was about to reply when he suddenly caught a glimpse of his own character name in the upper right corner.
【Reversal & Ghost】
Qi Hanyi: The vest is exposed... forget it.
Even if I don't reveal my true identity, I can still give Su Su some advice as a friend, just like now. As for the Bai Ze's pilot, it seems too far away, so it's better to wait until Su Su really gets a rank and then meet and talk.
After Qi Hanyi made up his mind, he accepted Su Su's invitation and the two met at the dock.
"What a coincidence! I just came online and saw you were online too." Su Su waved the short fins of his shark doll and greeted Qi Hanyi happily.
Already knowing the other party's identity, Qi Hanyi looked at the shark doll in front of him, but he didn't feel any sense of incongruity at all. Instead, he felt that it was as he expected.
Su Su has always been his most authentic self. The reason I didn't recognize him was because I didn't know Su Su well enough, and I was restricted by the idea that players couldn't be mermaids.
"It's not a coincidence. I set a reminder. I will receive a message when you are online." Qi Hanyi said. This was not a lie. He really set this reminder before. He only had the other person as a friend in his list. He originally entered the game because of this matter.
"So you came here specially to play with me?" Su Su became happy.
He is always easily delighted by other people's little attention to him.
"Yeah, it's fun to be with you." Qi Hanyi admitted.
Su Su was even happier, and waved his fins: "Let's go, let's go kill the bugs!"
He wanted to be bold and heroic, but unfortunately, the bold movements, coupled with the chubby shark doll, only looked funny and cute.
The two of them boarded the starship, and Su Su drove as usual. He originally said that he would let Qi Hanyi drive for a while, but Qi Hanyi rejected Su Su's proposal on the grounds that "I suddenly found that being an observer is also quite interesting", and sat steadily in the observer's seat.
The mission Su Su accepted this time was to hunt a centipede.
"I spent a long time choosing from the quest list, and I only killed one of them. The quest commission is very high. Don't I make a lot of money?" Su Su said as if he had gotten a great bargain.
"Well, I guess so." Qi Hanyi looked away, the corners of his mouth curled up.
The tasks assigned by the system will not have the possibility of high pay and few jobs. The reason why this task only involves killing one Zerg but pays a lot of money is because its difficulty in killing is worth the price of hundreds of other Zerg.
The military has already divided all the Zergs they have fought into different levels based on their strength. Just like starships, the lowest level is E and the highest is S. There are also SS and SSS levels, but these two levels of Zergs are confidential information and are beyond the difficulty that game players can deal with, so they are not set in the game.
The centipede shield worm that Su Su received was an authentic A-level insect that liked to eat metal. Its body was comparable to a small starship. The thick shield on its back could withstand heavy artillery. It had hundreds of tentacles, each of which could extend a hundred meters. It was flexible in movement, and its sharp pincers could tear apart alloys.
His only weakness is that, as a Zerg outpost, he prefers to act alone.
In reality, it usually takes a starship and a mecha team to kill it. The numbers have been lowered in the game, but players still need to form a team and let the starships that are good at defense, control, and attack cooperate with each other to solve the problem.
Qi Hanyi did not remind him, as he also wanted to see what Su Su could do in his first fight with the Zerg.
At the moment, Su Su was in a good mood, wagging his tail, controlling the starship to do somersaults, while searching for any Zerg within the perception range.
"The mission description says that the centipede is active in this area, why haven't they shown up yet..." Su Su suddenly saw a huge creature as big as a hill hovering above an asteroid diagonally in front of him. It was bright blue-purple with spots all over its body, and its hundreds of long legs were waving like chains, and its mouth was opening and closing as if it was stuffed with a thousand tiger clamps.
"Oh my god." Su Su's starship staggered: "What an ugly thing!"
