After dinner, Su Su waited for his good friend [Reverse & Ghost] in the game.

They agreed to meet at the entrance of the arena.

Su Su did not enter the competition, but crowded into the spectator area with a large group of players.

The screen was showing live video of the players in the game. Players were talking about who was at the top of the leaderboard, which guild they were from, which starship they were using, and which fighting style they were good at. They were also talking about which skill was used just now, which team was running low on ammunition, which starship was badly damaged, which team seemed to be avoiding but was actually killing, and which team was crushing the opponent throughout the game. They could win in less than three minutes.

Su Su mingled in the crowd, but he didn't listen attentively and was always looking around.

He caught a glimpse of Qi Hanyi. Although his skin was ordinary, Su Su recognized him at once. His eyes, which had been a little distracted, suddenly became focused, shining like stars, and he excitedly waved at Qi Hanyi: "Here!"

"You're finally online. It's so boring playing alone." His tone was filled with unconcealed joy.

Qi Hanyi looked at Su Su's expectant expression, and a hint of sweetness spread in her heart. She softened her eyebrows unconsciously and explained, "I'm busy during the day."

He handed a compiled document to Su Su: "This is what you asked for, the information about [Simplifying Complexity]."

Qi Hanyi deleted all information about Jian Fan's real-life identity, and only kept her major achievements and experiences in the game, as well as several of her more famous battle videos.

"Wow, I just asked around and you actually compiled so much." Su Su was shocked to see the information that was categorized and neatly arranged like a thesis.

The information provided by Qi Hanyi included not only [Simplifying the Complex], but also [Go but Never Return] and some other players who registered for the competition and ranked high.

In addition, there is a complete list of all the insect species in the game, including the appearance, characteristics, attack methods, weaknesses, etc. of each insect species.

Qi Hanyi knew that Su Su had only been playing games for a short time and lacked experience. He would be able to make up for it faster by watching videos and reading materials directly.

He wanted Su Su to win, this was his selfish desire. But the information Qi Hanyi provided was what ordinary players could find on the Internet, so it was not considered as favoring Su Su.

"As long as you find it useful." Qi Hanyi said.

Qi Hanyi didn't stay online for too long. He said he had something to do and would be busy in the next few days.

Although Su Su felt a little disappointed, he didn't force himself to do it. He knew that there were players like him who spent the entire day playing games, but there were more players who just used games as a way to pass their leisure time.

Su Su looked at the data carefully. He has always been good at self-study. It was the same when he read the textbooks, and it was the same when he read the data now. He understood the tactics of other players, reviewed every classic battle of theirs, learned their skills, and thought about whether he could do better if he were to operate it himself.

The night passed quickly and it was time to go to bed.

When Su Su came out of the nutrition cabin, he found that there was an extra single bed in the room, but Qi Hanyi had not returned yet.

Su Su looked between the big bed and the single bed, and unconsciously took over Qi Hanyi's big bed.

First come, first served. Who told Qi Hanyi not to go back to bed so late? Su Su thought righteously.

If it really doesn't work, I'll sleep for a while. If Qi Hanyi comes back and rushes to rush us, I'll change to a small bed.

But until he woke up, Qi Hanyi didn't come to catch up with him.

The quilt on the small bed was folded as neatly as last night, and there was not a wrinkle in the sheets. It was impossible to tell whether Qi Hanyi had come back to sleep there.

When getting out of bed, Su Su fell down. He sat on the floor in a daze, as if he had been knocked dumb. It was not until the housekeeper heard the noise and knocked on the door to inquire about the situation that he suddenly came to his senses.

"I'm fine." Su Su looked down at his legs. They had already fused together like a mermaid, covered with silver scales. Su Su looked at his face silently. The scales had already climbed up from his neck to his cheeks, and the position of his gills had also changed to that of a mermaid, allowing him to breathe on land and swim in the sea.

In a day or two, he will be completely transformed into a shark.

At breakfast time, Su Su did not go to the restaurant. He put a quilt on his legs and sat in the room to eat.

"Uncle Li, where is Qi Hanyi?" Su Su raised his head and asked when the housekeeper was serving him rice.

"I heard that the young master had a meeting and went to the military department early in the morning." The housekeeper lovingly filled a large bowl for Su Su, with rice grains piled up like a mountain on the edge of the bowl: "Madam, you should eat more. You are too thin."

"Hmm." Su Su took a big mouthful of rice, his cheeks bulging. But he still felt like he hadn't eaten enough, something was empty inside, and he couldn't be happy.

"Oh, by the way, the young master specifically told me that the stuff you want has been copied to your terminal, and you can see it when you log in to the game."

Su Su then became alert. His Silver Dragon was fixed? So fast!

Qi Hanyi wouldn't stay up all night to modify the starship for him, right?

After finishing his meal, Su Su couldn't wait to log into the game. When he loaded the modified data into the game, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

This is...

The Silver Dragon in front of me is not exactly the same as the starship I used to be, but it is completely unrelated. It is like a completely different starship.

The streamlined body is thinner and lighter, and looks like a nimble swift. The long side wings are like inverted scissors, and just by looking at its appearance, you can feel that it can dance lightly in the stars at any time.

All of Su Su's requirements were met. The blades on the top and the blades on the sides. The hull was expanded more than three times, capable of storing and launching heavy artillery shells, and a modified escape cabin.

As he entered the starship and got a better understanding of the operation, Su Su discovered that Qi Hanyi had actually designed a dual form for this starship!

When the wing feathers are retracted inward to become pectoral fins, the tail feathers spread out to form a fish tail, a dorsal fin is added to the back, and fins are added to the abdomen and buttocks to maintain balance. When the sawtooth-like closure on the top of the head opens, the swift becomes a shark.

Su Su: !!!

The Swift Form is known for its long-range precision killing and terrifying movement speed, while the Shark Form relies on its strong melee ability combined with close-range heavy firepower blasting.

The advantages are outstanding, but the disadvantages are equally obvious. The starship in swift form is extremely fragile and vulnerable. A hit from light firepower will damage the ship, and a hit from heavy firepower is enough to be fatal.

The defensive power of the starship in shark form has not increased. On the contrary, it is more difficult to control the balance because of the need for close combat. The strange ship's power is not in the side wings and tail, but in accordance with the muscle structure of the shark, through the airflow ejected from various parts of the starship, simulating the movement of the shark in the sea.

If any player were to operate this weird design, it would probably collapse due to the inability to maintain balance. Only Su Su, when his mental power was connected to the shark-shaped starship, felt like returning to the sea in his original form.

No, he did not return to the sea. Instead, Qi Hanyi opened up another galaxy for him.

Just as he had dreamed every time as a child when he poked his head out of the sea and quietly looked up at the Shirazawa, he really swam into this galaxy of stars.

Su Su leaped through the galaxy more easily and smoothly than ever before.

The so-called problems of a too-light ship body, difficulty in controlling balance with heavy guns, and difficulty in adjusting posture during close combat have now been solved.

He is a shark. Is there anything that can help him find balance more easily than this body?

Relying on the modified starship, Su Su entered the arena.

Because he had no basic points before, the opponents he was matched with at the beginning were very weak. Su Su won without any suspense, and his points rose at a rocket-like speed, gradually attracting the attention of many spectators.

Everyone said that there was a special modified starship that looked as light as a dancing swallow and as fast as a ghost. The most terrifying thing was that at such a speed, it could hardly miss a target, as if it had installed a tracker on the opponent's starship.

Su Su did not reveal his second shark form. On the one hand, his opponent was too weak, and he could resolve the battle by kiting in his swift form. On the other hand, in the videos he saw, those people would hide one or two trump cards and use them in critical situations. Su Su planned to use the shark form as his trump card.

Half a month passed in a flash. Su Su, who had turned back into a shark, lived a very regular life between the fish pond and the nutrition tank every day.

Qi Hanyi is busy with his daily routine and rarely plays games.

Su Su had no one to play with, so he devoted himself to practice. He ranked in the top 100 in the arena and accumulated a lot of achievements.

The time has come to the day of the preliminaries.

Because of the military's involvement, this competition was very high profile. Almost all Starship players were watching online, and some players from other professions also joined in the fun. The live broadcast area was filled with nothing but game broadcasts and commentary.

"Hey, my idol's competition is about to start. I have to go watch the live broadcast." Qi Yuewo said to the projection in the air while lying on the couch in her home.

"Your idol?" In the projection, there was a woman with long hair, dressed in a suit and long boots, looking very capable and heroic. At this time, she was sitting in a shuttle bus, with lights and shadows of flying cars on both sides of the road.

She looked very young, with a calm and strong aura that overshadowed her originally gentle appearance. Her eyes were like the scorching sun in winter, bright but not too dazzling.

The type that makes people feel very reliable at first glance.

"Yes, my idol, White Shark, used to be called another name. He has a great talent for games. He mastered the power of mental driving within less than a day of contact with the starship. I heard from Xiang Chen that my genius elder brother watched his video and praised him for his talent."

At this point, Qi Yue lowered her voice and said, "My eldest brother didn't care about games before, but after watching this video, he immediately held a starship driving competition in the name of the military. I suspect he came here just for my idol. I heard that he even sold the game's nutrition capsule at home, so maybe he went online to kidnap someone early."

"It doesn't sound like something Qi Hanyi would do." The woman in the projection commented lightly, then changed the subject and asked, "How is Qi Hanyi's health now?"

Qi Yue showed a distressed expression when talking about this: "I heard from Xiang Chen that he had collapsed once, but fortunately the mermaid at home rescued him. But I always feel uneasy, as if they are hiding something from me."

"If Qi Hanyi really wanted to be rescued by the mermaid, he wouldn't have waited until now. He... in some ways, is the same type of person as Yang Yuanshan." When she said this, the woman in the projection lowered her eyebrows slightly, and her fragility flashed by so quickly that it seemed like an illusion.

"Brother Yuanshan... Hey, if it weren't for that incident, he and you would have been married a long time ago. They are both the best people in the empire, I really don't want..." Qi Yue looked even sadder than the other person.

The woman in the projection is none other than Tang Xiruo, the eldest daughter of the royal family and the current first heir of the empire. She is also Qi Yue's childhood friend.

Compared to Qi Yue, who has a lively and bright personality, she is obviously much calmer and more mature. In just one breath, her mood has been adjusted back to normal: "It's all over. You can watch the live broadcast. I'm going to log off first. You can tell me the result later. I'm quite interested in the genius driver you mentioned."

In the live broadcast, one thousand shortlisted contestants have entered the venue in their respective starships.

When the whitescale shark's ID was called, many cheers floated across the screen.

In just a few days, Su Su has already broken into the top 50 in the arena, and has gone from being an unknown to a dark horse on the current competition prediction list.

After the players are ready, the referee begins to read the rules.

The preliminary round is divided into three stages. One thousand players enter the competition at the same time. After the three stages are over, the order of arrival will be used as the preliminary ranking. The top 100 will enter the semi-finals.

And as long as the participants can get into the top 100 of the preliminary round, they can get a considerable prize and a special medal of victory.

The first stage is called the Qualifying Race. Players are not allowed to attack each other, it is a pure speed competition.

But you can't win just by driving fast. The map is newly generated, the routes are complex, the terrain is changeable, and various unexpected situations may occur in the process, such as artillery attacks, gravitational interference, even map loss, radar failure, etc.

It all depends on the player's ability to respond.

Su Su had already entered the race track. A thousand starships were crowded together, occupying a large area. Most of those who could participate in the competition drove S-class starships, and at the very least, they drove A-class starships.

The Phoenix and the Silver Dragon alone had dozens of crosses each.

At the sound of a starting gun, all the starships moved forward together, but because they were too densely packed together, it was difficult to accelerate.

Just then, a silver starship suddenly emerged from among the thousand starships like a streak of flying light. Its speed had already surpassed that of an ordinary S-class starship. It was as nimble as a swift flying through the clouds, rushing forward towards the unknown future without looking back.

Qi Yue, who was lying on the couch and watching the live broadcast, had just taken a sip of milk tea. When she saw this scene, she was so shocked that she sat up and choked on the milk tea. "Puff - cough cough cough, what the hell is this! It has to be SSS-level speed, right?"
