When he returned to the supply point, Su Su remembered that there was another person locked up in the lifeboat of [Fang Fang].
He released the player from the lifeboat and handed over control of [Fang]: "I'll give it back to you."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait!" The driver of [Hound Fang] suddenly caught up with him, and said in an awkward tone: "Hey, are you really the new player who killed [Star Pirate Leader] alone a few days ago?"
"Hmm." Su Su responded. Anyway, the other party had heard what he just said, so there was nothing to hide.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly rushed forward excitedly: "Boss, can I follow you in the future?"
"Ah?" The development of the matter was beyond Su Su's understanding, and he tilted the shark's head in confusion.
The other party, however, acted like a fan seeing his idol: "I saw that video, you are so handsome, so handsome! I can't believe this is your first day playing the game. Today you killed a centipede again. Oh, you are too low-key and don't play in the arena. Otherwise, you would have made it to the top ten of the rankings."
Ranking list? Su Su had heard about ranking list before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. But now he was moved.
Yes, he can train the Insect Tribe by taking on quests, and for PVP training, he can go to the arena and learn about his own strength at the same time. Why not?
"You can give it a try." Su Su said what he was thinking without noticing.
"Of course!" The driver of the dog tooth took the opportunity to promote himself: "I know the intelligence of these players on the leaderboard best. If you want to know about someone, you can ask me. Big Boss, can you give me a friend position?"
Su Su was about to agree, but Qi Hanyi stopped him and said, "I have all the information here, there's no need to go far away."
"You have it too?" Su Su turned around unexpectedly. He had never heard the other party say that, and they were both novice players at the same time.
Meeting Su Su's clear black and white eyes, Qi Hanyi looked away.
A strange possessive desire began to take effect, and strange emotions began to brew in his heart. He didn't like other people's names appearing in Su Su's friend list, and he didn't like anyone approaching Su Su with some cheap things. He didn't like Su Su's eyes fixed on others with his attention and expectation.
What others can give, I can give too. So, just look at me, okay?
Qi Hanyi immediately abandoned the dangerous thought that had been in his mind for a second. Su Su was an independent and equal individual, not a private property that he could possess. He was excellent, and it was normal for someone to like him, admire him, and want to get close to him. What right did he have to stop that?
"I know people in the game company, and I can tell you anything that doesn't involve other people's privacy or confidential information." Qi Hanyi paused and added reluctantly, "But he is an old player, and he may know something we don't know. If you want to add him, it's up to you."
"I'm just playing games, not being a reporter, why would I need to know so much!" Su Su waved his fins at the driver of Fangs: "My friend has the information, I don't need your help. I hold a grudge, you stole my things today, and I don't want to be friends with you, so forget it."
【Fang】The driver left disappointedly. Su Su nudged Qi Hanyi with his chubby body and said, "I'm going to the starship reset point. What about you?"
"Together." Qi Hanyi knew that this was wrong, but he couldn't help feeling happy about Su Su's decisive refusal.
A chubby and cute shark doll costume walked side by side with the most ordinary astronaut in the lobby of the supply point.
The doll costume swayed and looked at his companions beside him: "Do you really know anyone from the game company?"
Qi Hanyi, who was dressed as an astronaut, said: "Of course. What do you want to check?"
"Nothing." The little shark shook his head and muttered, "I thought you said that on purpose."
Qi Hanyi paused slightly, and then fell half a step behind Su Su. So Su Su's rejection of the other party was not because he heard that he had information, but just because he minded this matter?
He looked at the silly little shark with a complicated look, and suddenly found that his intuition was sometimes as sharp as his straight ball. His seemingly rough style of doing things was occasionally particularly delicate and gentle.
It takes fifteen minutes to reset the starship, so Su Su took this opportunity to look through the Star Wars game leaderboards.
The ranking list is divided into many columns. The first column is the performance list, which is sorted by the kill points of the Zerg. The more Zergs you kill and the higher your level, the higher your position on the ranking list. It is further divided into the overall performance list and the performance list of each profession.
The following are the strength rankings of each profession. Mechas and starships are ranked according to their arena rankings, while other maintenance and auxiliary professions accumulate points based on their respective completion times and completion status.
[Simplifying the Complex], hanging high at the top of the "Star Wars" battle record list.
Most of the players at the top of the list were mecha players, and she was the only professional starship player who suddenly appeared at the top of the list. She was number one on the [Performance List], and her performance was more than double that of the second place.
Su Su remembered this name; those who had been robbing monsters had mentioned her before.
So Su Su asked Qi Hanyi curiously: "Do you know the information about [Simplifying Complexity]? Is she very powerful?"
Qi Hanyi certainly didn't know, but it wouldn't be difficult for him to look up some information: "I'll check and tell you tomorrow."
"Great." Su Su continued to flip through the pages and opened the ranking of the Starship Arena. The name at the top of the list was another acquaintance.
First place in the Starship Arena: [Go but never return].
"It's him!" Su Su patted his fins excitedly, "That Phoenix! When my Silver Dragon is repaired, I'll find a chance to fight him."
"I'm afraid he won't fight you." Qi Hanyi said, "At least not before the game starts. Now is the preparation period, and he is aiming for first place. During this time, he will definitely be busy training the team, planning tactics, and modifying the starship. He will not appear in the arena. Even if he goes, he will not fight with players of similar strength."
"Eh?" Su Su's tone was filled with disappointment: "Why?"
Qi Hanyi: "The battle in the arena is open to the public. With his reputation in the game, there will naturally be a lot of people watching. If he doesn't want to lose to you, he needs to try his best. This will allow others to see his battle ideas and various strengths, and it will also be easy to expose his trump card."
Su Su thought that humans are indeed cunning, but sharks are not so cunning: "Then should I not go and hide my strength?"
"You don't have to." Qi Hanyi glanced at Su Su and said something almost outrageous in a matter-of-fact tone: "As long as you progress faster than they can see, they will never be able to figure out your cards."
"That's right." Su Su puffed out his chest proudly. It made him happier to hear that these words recognized his ability and came from his own good friend.
The starship was reset and it was almost time for Qi Hanyi's evening training. He said goodbye to Su Su and logged out of the game.
The feeling of being out of the game was like leaving an extremely real dream. Qi Hanyi opened his eyes, stood up from his chair, looked at the quiet nutrition cabin next to the water tank, and clicked on the communication of his deputy.
"Investigate the data related to the game "Star Wars" [Simplify the Complexity], I need it tomorrow."
Jian Cheng replied quickly: "Can I ask what it is used for?"
Qi Hanyi frowned slightly. His deputy was always quiet and obedient. He did everything he was told to do quickly and well, and never asked any unnecessary questions. This was the first time he had been asked a question like this.
"A little personal matter." Qi Hanyi replied simply.
Jian Cheng: "Did she offend you?"
Qi Hanyi was a little surprised that his deputy continued to ask questions in a way that was out of character. However, when Qi Hanyi noticed that Jian Cheng deliberately changed the nickname for "Simplifying the Complex" to "she", he began to guess.
"Do you know her?" Qi Hanyi asked. He had not mentioned the gender of the player, and the name did not sound special, but the other party knew that this was a female player.
"My sister, Jian Fan." Jian Cheng said honestly. He was really worried that his sister would get into trouble, so he sent a lot of messages in a rather long-winded and uncharacteristic way: "Is it related to the Star Wars competition? I heard that you recently held a competition in the game. She has been almost immersed in the game recently, and she never logs off, just wanting to win first place and meet you."
"My sister Jian Fan has always been cold-tempered and has a bit of an aggressive temper. If she offends you in the game, please bear with me. She definitely didn't mean it. She actually adores you. She said she plays games to practice starship driving skills and the ability to kill insects in advance. She will be admitted to the Imperial Military Academy next year, and she also said that she must come to work on our Bai Ze."
She is actually Jian Cheng’s sister?
This answer did surprise Qi Hanyi.
"She didn't offend me. She's number one on the performance list, and I'm a little concerned about her." Qi Hanyi didn't mention Su Su, but just said that he wanted to ask.
In most battles against Zerg, mechas are still the main force. Starships are more responsible for mobile transportation, combat fortresses, fire suppression, etc.
In the actual game, even if a starship player makes hunting insects his main job, it is difficult for him to compete with top mecha players. After all, unlike starships whose basic functions are long-distance movement and transportation, mechas exist for combat.
Therefore, it is really amazing that [Simplifying Complexity] can suppress a group of mecha players with twice the score. It is reasonable for Qi Hanyi to say that he is concerned.
"I know about this." Jian Cheng replied: "She doesn't join a guild, a team, or add friends in the game. She only does one thing every day when she goes online, which is to kill Zerg, and she kills them alone."
"At first, she had a hard time fighting, after all, the nature of a starship and a mecha is different. But she was determined to get first place, saying that only such a performance would be worthy of her dream of going to the Bai Ze. Seeing that she was really persistent, I taught her some techniques to kill insects, and later her performance gradually improved."
"She also said that she must win first place in this competition, so that she can meet her idol."
Then she would be disappointed. Qi Hanyi turned off the call.
On the other side, Su Su checked the reset starship and drove it back to the guild. He noticed that Yan Bai was online, so he ran to him to say hello.
Yan Bai saw Su Su and deliberately showed a surprised expression: "You still have time to go online? I heard that Qi Hanyi fainted in the military this morning and was hurriedly sent back by the Qi family. How come they didn't ask you to sing for him to heal him?"
Su Su was about to say no, but suddenly realized that if he agreed, it would be tantamount to admitting that Qi Hanyi's fainting was caused by a mental breakdown, but this matter should be kept secret. Although Yan Bai was his cousin, Su Su remembered the story he told last time, that he was somewhat hostile to humans, and Su Su did not want to tell him too much about Qi Hanyi's situation.
Su Su played dumb: "He just fainted, and woke up after lying down for a while at home. Why do you want me to sing for treatment? Can singing cure diseases?"
"It's not mental breakdown?" Yan Bai pointed it out bluntly.
Su Su shook his head: "What is that?"
Yan Bai stared at Su Su for a while, trying to figure out whether he was pretending to be stupid or really didn't know, but he failed.
He suddenly discovered that Su Su had undergone some subtle changes compared to a few days ago. It was hard to describe, but if he had to put it simply, he looked more like a human.
Yan Bai briefly explained psychiatric breakdown to Su Su, and then said, "It's no secret in the circle that Qi Hanyi has this disease. He married a mermaid with the intention of curing her disease. Unfortunately, you are a mermaid and cannot differentiate, so you can't cure his disease. It's only a matter of time before he has an attack. You should be careful and run away if things go wrong. Qi Hanyi won't protect mermaids, and the head of the Qi family won't take mermaids' lives seriously."
"Oh." Su Su wanted to refute that Qi Hanyi would protect him, that although he couldn't cure the disease, he could wake the other person up, and that the head of the family looked fierce, but he seemed to like him quite a lot. But in the end, he couldn't say anything.
Yan Bai seemed to remember something and patted his forehead: "By the way, Qi Hanyi is living at home now, he won't find out that you are playing games, right?"
I have already confessed. Su Su felt a little embarrassed, but he could only bite the bullet and continue to lie: "No, we don't live together, and he doesn't come over often. It's as if I don't exist at all."
