After kicking out the driver who took the initiative to provoke, Su Su took advantage of the moment when [You Come, You Don't Return] was off guard and overtook his team from under him.

The nimble swift turned around in front of "Come but Never Return" with a provocative look, and then left without looking back.

The distance between the two sides grew farther and farther, until finally, they couldn't even see Su Su's shadow.

"What a waste! He still can't be defeated even after doing this." [Wu Shi Mo] couldn't stand seeing someone provoking his master, so he sped up: "Oh my god!"

His starship is the White Tiger, which is from the same period as the Suzaku. Compared to the Suzaku's short-range, high-intensity flame output, the White Tiger has more balanced properties, and performs well in both long-range fuel consumption and short-range burst sprints.

If he used all his power and relied on the speed of the sprint, he could catch up with Su Su's starship. Su Su's starship was modified to be extremely light and thin. If the White Tiger could hit it directly, even if it was not scrapped, it would be seriously damaged.

"Come back." [You come but you don't return] called him. After the brief confrontation, he had already realized that he had underestimated his enemy. Su Su was a newcomer, but he was definitely not an opponent that could be easily dealt with. The opponent's escape operation, reaction speed and control of the starship were all professional. It was impossible for him to defeat him by relying on these small moves.

The speed of progress is astonishing. The last time I met Su Su, he didn't have this much strength. And this strangely modified starship. I don't know where Su Su found the modification engineer. This modification is strange and bold, but it does release Su Su's advantages more thoroughly.

"But, is that the end of it?" [Wu Shi Mo] asked unwillingly.

【Go but No Return】 had calmed down. He was the leader of the team, so he naturally couldn't let a little surprise affect his mood. "You can't touch him, don't give him away for nothing. There's more to the preliminary round than this one. I have my own arrangements for the rest."

There was no fuel consumed by the gravitational field in the early stage, and he got a ride in the middle stage. After surpassing the team of "There is always a way out", Su Su had a smooth journey.

In the last section, he encountered the loss of radar signal, lost his position, and the direction indicator was messed up, but it did not affect his performance.

If people who have a poor sense of direction and get lost easily are called road idiots, then Su Su can probably be called a road expert. The electronic map he has looked at once is like it is imprinted in his mind, and he remembers every landmark in each direction clearly.

Even without a direction, it is possible to drive accurately to the point without taking any detours.

Watching Su Su sprinting towards the key point almost blindfolded, the audience on the bullet screen flashed a long row of 666.

[There is a cheat! Someone is cheating here! ]

[This is not cheating, he is a cheat. 】

[Fuck, did he memorize the map? ]

[How can I get lost? This is not a familiar terrain. I see that everything looks the same from top to bottom, left to right, front to back. If they throw me in, I will be lost in a second.]

Su Su not only memorized the map, he even calculated the fuel. When he reached the finish line, there was less than one percent left.

In the end, Su Su crossed the finish line of the race without any surprise.

【Congratulations to the player, White Scale Shark was the second to reach the finish line, taking four hours and twenty-seven minutes. Speed ​​rating SSS, obtained 10 points, and priority in choosing the side in the second leg.】

What followed was the rules of the second round. Su Su didn't read it carefully. His focus was on: second place! He was actually second?

Su Su looked to the side blankly, and a pure black, almost opaque starship appeared next to his starship, silently, as if it came suddenly, and as if it had always been there.

At the same time, Su Su received a communication from nearby.

[Simplifying things]: You drove well. Thank you for showing me the way just now. I owe you one.

It turns out she was the first.

Su Su gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction. This defeat was so unclear that he couldn't tell whether the other party was sincerely complimenting him or deliberately mocking him.

The name of the starship of [Simplifying Complexity] is [Shadow Chaser]. This starship has a dim luster, a large amount of anti-detection coating on the surface, a light body, a brisk speed, and is silent while driving, making it suitable for performing some reconnaissance and assassination missions.

The opponent's hiding skills were amazing. Su Su didn't see the opponent's starship the whole time and didn't even know how he lost.

At the same time, the barrage also exploded, and a long row of question marks flashed across.

To simplify things, she drove it to participate in a race, and even the spectators from a bird's eye view hardly noticed her presence.

[I was so dumbfounded that I didn't see anything the whole time. Did anyone see when she passed the first place? ]

[I didn't see her either. I thought she fell behind.]

[I'm a fan of Fan Fans here, I'm dying of laughter, I looked for her all the way, but I didn't expect her to flash to the end point directly. 】

Amidst the bewildered players, a conspicuous pink bullet screen passed by, clearing up everyone's doubts.

[I saw it. It was very smart to simplify things. She was invisible in the early stage, following the team that went out but never came back, saving fuel. After Su Su overtook her, she kept following Su Su. They both lost their position. Su Su was driving in front, and she didn't even look at the road, just blindly following. Before the finish line, she had a lot of fuel left, so she drove as fast as possible, and of course she easily overtook the white-scaled shark. In fact, the speed of the two was very close, with only a difference of a few seconds.]

[Damn it, why can you see? ]

【Don’t you know? If you place a bet of NT$100,000 or more on the Galaxy Live platform, you can directly see the perspective of the contestants you support. 】

How much? One hundred thousand!

The barrage suddenly changed, and the screen was filled with only:

【Rich woman, hungry, food. 】

[Rich woman, look at me. I don’t want to work hard anymore. ]

Xiang Chen stared at the noisy barrage and private messages with dissatisfaction, took a screenshot, and sent a message to Qi Yue: [I am a man, why do they all call me a rich woman? ]

Qi Yue mocked him mercilessly: [Who told you to use pink bullet screen and a red cartoon cat head as your profile picture?]

Qi Yue: [However, you actually watched this kind of competition and bet on Simplifying the Complexity? ]

Xiang Chen felt that Qi Yue's tone didn't seem so friendly, and remembering that she seemed to support the white-scaled shark, he immediately explained: "I didn't support her, I just found out that she disappeared, so I placed a bet to gain some perspective."

After explaining it, she clicked her tongue in confusion and asked herself, "Why should I explain this to her?"

In the game, players arrived one after another. [You Lai Wu Hui] was the third, and the members of his team followed closely behind him, taking the fourth to the twenty-second. They arrived only ten minutes later than Su Su, but their rating dropped two levels directly to S, and their points were only seven.

After that, there are 130 A-level players with 5 points. There are 387 B-level players with 3 points. There are 209 C-level players with 2 points. The remaining players who complete the race will score 1 point, and the players who are eliminated or do not reach the finish line at the end of the race will not score any points.

Only then did Su Su start to pay attention to the instructions for the next round of the game.

The next round of the game is a chase battle. The venue is a virtual map with a radius of 100 star ranges, and various interference situations are still set up in it.

The game is a chase station game with seven rules in total.

1. Players are initially divided into two groups. One group is the chased group, which consists of 100 players, each with 20 points. The other group is the chased group, which consists of all the remaining players and has no points initially.

2. Players without a points group can gain points by killing players with points. After killing a player, they will get half of the points of the opponent that are higher than their own according to the difference in points between the two sides. That is, if a player with 0 points kills a player with 20 points, they will get 10 points. If a player with 10 points kills a player with 20 points, they will get 5 points. If a player with 5 points kills a player with 10 points, they will get 2 points.

Killed players can be resurrected, but the corresponding points will be deducted after resurrection.

3. During the game, players can only actively attack players with higher points than themselves. Attacking players with lower points than themselves will be considered a foul and will be eliminated directly.

4. Players with high points can counterattack after being attacked, regardless of the restrictions of Article 3. They can get 1 point after killing the enemy.

5. Players without points will not be resurrected after being killed and will be eliminated directly in that round. The person who kills the player without points will not get any points.

6. The competition time is six hours. After the competition, the ranking will be calculated according to the points. For those with the same points, the ranking will be calculated according to the number of kills.

7. At the end of the competition, the points owned by the players will be directly counted into the total points of the preliminary round.

After reading the rules, Su Su hesitated for a moment between the two camps. He liked being a hunter, not a prey, and wanted to choose the chasing group with no points, but then he changed his mind and realized that the camps were not static. Even if he had no points at the beginning, if his points were high later, he would still be chased by others as a prey. It was the same thing.

So I decisively chose the chased group which had more points.

[Simplifying the Complex] also chose this group. She has a natural advantage in hiding. No one can score points from her if she hides.

Most of the top players were like them, and chose to escape in the early stages. But there were exceptions. Some players in the team would arrange their own tactics and assign some players to the chasing group, which played a role of interference and protection in the game.

Because the competition time is long, the three races are not arranged on the same day. Instead, they are completed in three days.

After Su Su chose his side, he left the stadium.

Yan Bai sent him a message to congratulate him. As usual, [Reverse Swing & Ghost] was not online during the day.

The high-intensity and long-term mental driving still made him feel a little tired. He yawned lazily and prepared to log off.

At this moment, a message from a stranger suddenly appeared in Su Su's chat.

[White Shark, I'm the manager of Galaxy Live. Are you willing to sign a contract to become a host on our platform? This is my contact number. If you are interested, you can contact me. The salary is generous, and if you are popular, you can also participate in the profit sharing. ]

Become a streamer? Su Su was slightly tempted. He already knew that no matter in the game or in reality, resources and food in the human world had to be purchased with money. Although he was spending Qi Hanyi's money now, he couldn't always spend his money. When Qi Hanyi recovered from his illness, they would have to disband. If he still wanted to stay in human society, he would have to find a way to make money.

Becoming a streamer sounds good. You can play your favorite games and make money without doing anything.

But he is a mermaid, and mermaids cannot access the human network, so he probably cannot sign a contract to become a host.

It would be more realistic for him to become a pilot and drive a starship for Qi Hanyi.

Thinking of this, Su Su closed the private message and quit the game.

He swam back to the fish pond from the nutrition chamber. The room was empty and no one was there.

Su Su, in shark form, could not leave the fish pond and could only do a few somersaults in the water out of boredom, splashing water everywhere.

I don't know when the life I used to live in became unbearable. This fish tank is like a cage that I can't escape from.

Is the fish tank too small? It seems not. Even if the fish tank becomes as big as the sea, it still won’t be enough.

He wanted to have a pair of legs that he could use anytime and anywhere, and wanted to leave here and go wherever he wanted.

Su Su turned to the French window. From here, you can see the street not far away. The flowers and trees shade the streets. Occasionally, shuttle buses fly by, drones carry express packages, birds jump on branches, and wild cats jump on the wall and cast a curious glance in this direction.

He wanted to leave this pond, leave this house, leave the high-walled courtyard, and walk on the street.

He wanted to surf the Internet openly, play games, watch live broadcasts, and check information. He wanted to go to a human school instead of just reading knowledge chips over and over again. He wanted to go to the starry sky and drive a real starship.

By the way, can Qi Hanyi really allow mermaids to have the same rights as humans?

For the first time, Su Su realized that this was not something that had nothing to do with him. It would really affect his life.

Su Su counted the days until the next pill. Would the next pill be successful? Would he have the right to switch freely between human forms without worrying about all kinds of strange side effects? Would he have such a day?

Su Su was lost in thought and didn't notice Qi Hanyi pushing the door and walking in.

"I logged off very early today." Qi Hanyi said, seemingly knowing nothing about his competition.

Su Su had no intention of telling the other party. He just wanted to wait until he got first place and then give the other party a surprise.

He swam to the edge of the pool and poked his head out: "I'm a little tired today, I want to rest for a while."

"Yeah." Qi Hanyi unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and seemed to be a little more relaxed. He didn't ask Su Su why he was tired, nor did he mention anything about the competition. He really seemed to have no interest in the game.

This was the time when he returned from the military. He would change into casual clothes in his room, process some information on the terminal, and then go to the study to finish the rest of his work.

But that was before Su Su moved in. Now he changed his clothes in the bathroom and rarely stayed in the room except for sleeping. When Su Su was in human form, the two of them had dinner together. After Su Su turned into a shark, the two of them had almost no interaction.

"Young Master." The butler knocked on the door from outside.

Qi Hanyi looked towards Su Su's position. Su Su understood what he meant and hid in the nutrition cabin.

"What's the matter?" Qi Hanyi opened the door and asked.

"The master of the house said that he wants you and the young lady to attend the family dinner the day after tomorrow."

"He...is not feeling well." Qi Hanyi said, "I'll go by myself."

"But..." The housekeeper couldn't help but look up at the door, but of course he saw nothing. He hadn't seen the young mistress for more than a week, and even dinner was brought in by Xiao You. The young master always said that he was not feeling well, but he didn't let the doctor come to see him.

The housekeeper was worried, but he couldn't ask too much about the master's affairs. Although Qi Hanyi treated him politely, he would not allow him to overstep his authority.

"But half a month ago, you said that the young lady was not feeling well and had already refused. The head of the family said that the young lady must go with you this time, and you must carry her over even if you have to."

"I see." Qi Hanyi closed his eyes tiredly. Although the last meeting had changed Grandpa's attitude towards Su Su, it obviously did not completely dispel his suspicion. Or maybe he heard some other rumors?

After the housekeeper left, Su Su swam out of the nutrition cabin. He had not entered the game just now, so he heard the conversation between the two. He took the initiative to say, "I can go. I can take medicine tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow you..." Qi Hanyi paused: "Not playing games?"

He wanted to say the competition, but changed his mind quickly. But it was also strange to ask this question.

Su Su glanced at Qi Hanyi in confusion. The other party had indeed been more and more indulgent towards him recently. Now he was even willing to postpone the family dinner of the head of the family just to let him play games?

"I'll play in the afternoon and it should be over by evening."

"What time?" Qi Hanyi asked.

"About five o'clock." Su Su thought for a while and said.

"Okay, we'll set out at six the day after tomorrow."
