"Get out of the way!"
With a loud shout, the Ancestor of Humanity pushed through the crowd and sat down in front of Zheng Hao: "I'll go! How do we compete?"
He had never played any video games before. He just glanced at 'Zheng Hao' and 'Zheng Hao' gave him a disdainful look: "Hey, hey, hey! Uncle, why don't you just stay out of this?"
"You don't look like you're up to the task..."
"At your age, you should go home!"
"you!"
"nonsense!"
I'm going to beat you to a pulp!
He glared at Zheng Hao angrily. Seeing that the Ancestor of Humanity was still not leaving, Zheng Hao simply put in a coin for him as well.
"Clang—"
[2P] Joining...
After the screen flashed a notification that a new player had joined, 'Zheng Hao' shrugged: 'Here—choose! Choose your [Ship Girl] and come have a match with me!'
"......"
Despite not understanding how to operate the machine, [Human Ancestor] glanced at the joystick and buttons, swiped them casually, and a [Boat Girl] appeared on the screen, resembling a [Small Boat].
"Holy crap! It's a hidden character!"
"This guy's lucky! The hidden character has high stats!"
"Maybe we have a chance to beat this guy! Go for it, bro! I've been wanting to beat this kid for ages!"
"......"
As the voices of onlookers rose from the surrounding crowd, the corners of the [Human Ancestor]'s mouth involuntarily curled up.
What?
Even in the other person's mental world, I'm still very strong—
Can!
Such a confident idea didn't last long before the [Ancestor of Humanity] couldn't hold back any longer!
"Alright... let's begin—"
'Zheng Hao' didn't even glance at [Human Ancestor], the two of them staring at the "3"... "2"... "1" on the screen...
"GO!~"
After the flashing animation lit up, 'Zheng Hao' was still the same Zheng Hao, his fingers rapidly pressing the buttons, and after the joystick shook rhythmically, a special effect image flashed on the screen!
"【Ship Skills: Catapult Start】!"
"Boom—"
The [Shattered Star] on the screen shot out hundreds of meters, tearing apart the [Small Boat]!
"Ho—"
"That trick again. Don't you know that [Little Boat's] stats require no skill whatsoever...? Combined with my [Ancestor's Luck], you have no chance of winning..."
"you..."
After the arrogant voice echoed for a moment, the [Ancestor of Humanity] was dumbfounded after pushing the joystick!
Why?
Where is my [ancestral destiny]?!
No matter how you operate the joystick, in the game, [Little Boat] just moves forward clumsily, without releasing any operations or skills!
"This...this..."
He frantically pressed the buttons, and [Xiaozhou] followed suit, moving haphazardly like a fly, only able to catch up by relying on numerical values.
If it's just like that, with [Xiaozhou's] stats, it's actually possible to catch up!
but...
"Clap clap clap—"
After rapidly tapping the buttons, Zheng Hao, who was in the opposite position, shouted, "[Ship Skill - Collision Acceleration]!!!"
"Boom—"
After another special effect on the screen, [Shattered Star] accelerated again! After another huge straight-line explosion, 'Zheng Hao's' actions didn't stop at all!
He moved the joystick and pressed the buttons in combination, shouting, "[Ship Skill - Inertial Drift]!!!"
Without slowing down at the bend, it sped out of the bend at an even higher speed and completely disappeared in front of the small boat!
The small boat could only clumsily go straight, and when it reached the bend, it swerved little by little to make its way across.
After finally getting out of the bend, [Little Boat] tried to rush straight ahead to catch up...
"[Game over!]"
Sudden!
The game interface of [Human Ancestor] went black, displaying the game over screen!
"Um?!"
Turning my head to look at Zheng Hao, I saw that he had already finished running the [First Sea Gathering] map!
"OI——"
"Uncle! You really can't drive a boat!"
"You can't even cast a single skill, what are you doing here?"
After Zheng Hao's disdainful voice rang out, he stood up as if extremely bored, and turned to leave his seat.
"You! You stop right there!"
This round doesn't count!
"I have absolutely no idea how to do any of this! You come and race me in a boat race! Have a real competition with me!"
[Human Ancestor] tried to call out to 'Zheng Hao' with a dark face, but the other party ignored him completely and had already walked out of the arcade.
"stop!"
[Human Ancestor] got up to give chase, but the people around him made disdainful noises.
"Hey! Uncle, if you can't drive a boat, at least learn the basics!"
"Exactly! If it's just based on the ship girl's stats, my 6-year-old cousin could do that too! All you have to do is crank the joystick to move forward, isn't that something even an idiot could do?"
"Uncle, no matter how many times you compete against 'Zheng Hao,' you'll never beat him! His boating skills are at a professional level. You should practice more before you compete!"
"Yeah! You picked the hidden ship girl, and you can't even use a single [skill]. You should practice more!"
"......"
A series of mocking voices rose from the surroundings, and the [Ancestor of Humanity]'s expression changed repeatedly.
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Foolproof boat driving?
My 6-year-old cousin can do that?
Just go straight, who doesn't know how to do that?
really!
These people are right; stripping away the divine veneer, their actions are indeed as described...
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"You mortals! How dare you discuss the gods?!"
"you!!!"
With a gloomy face, the [Ancestor of Humanity] was about to lash out...
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The screen in the 'game room' suddenly distorted, and the previously flickering display showed: [You have failed one challenge! Remaining challenge attempts: 2.]
The game world is fading away; we are about to depart for a new world!
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
Under the astonished gazes of [Human Ancestor] and [Xiao Zhou], a mist surged before their eyes, and this time they found themselves in a large lecture hall, with [Human Ancestor] and [Xiao Zhou] standing on a debate platform to one side.
On the other side of the debate stage stood "Zheng Hao" and [Sui Xing]!
