Chapter 33
Mo Nan and the others stepped aside, leaving the open space in the middle to them.
Yan: "I'll give you three moves."
"Thank you." Qi Heng agreed without hesitation.
He didn't even know what level he was at now, so it would be good for him to take three moves to adapt himself so as to avoid a setback at the beginning.
Qi Heng took off his coat and said to Mo Nan, "Can you hold my coat for me?"
"Oh, okay." Mo Nan took it.
"Thanks."
There is a blue-tailed butterfly in my coat. When we start fighting, my fists have no eyes. It will be troublesome if I accidentally hurt the blue-tailed butterfly while wearing the coat.
Qi Heng looked at Yan, stepped forward and took the first step. At the same time, the fighting skills and moves used by the Overlord in the dream emerged in his mind.
This was the first time he used it in actual combat.
Although I can empathize with everything in the dream, the feeling it creates in reality is completely different.
Yan, who was attacked by him, dodged the first move and felt a little strange in his heart, thinking that such a clumsy move, could it be his first time?
Qi Heng was not discouraged and threw a second punch.
Yan was a little distracted, but his body still easily dodged Qi Heng's fist, and while dodging flexibly, he swept his long legs and hit Qi Heng's legs directly.
Qi Heng realized what Yan was going to do almost the moment Yan bent down. He turned his waist to avoid Yan's legs, then raised his long legs and hit Yan's chest mercilessly.
This move was completely subconscious, as if he had fought thousands of times and knew the most appropriate time to attack. His body had developed the habit of naturally counterattacking during battle.
Qi Heng was a little surprised. He was sure that the change was caused by the fusion with the master.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. Not only had he not developed a combat awareness, he had never even fought a fight.
However, this also proved that I was right. The fighting skills and consciousness of the Overlord can indeed be integrated with my own through practice in battle, although my current level is still far from the level I achieved in my dreams.
But it's a good start, isn't it?
With this idea in mind, Qi Heng completely relaxed his restraint except for not using his star power.
In fact, it's not just me. Yan probably hasn't used his full strength either. In this case, he has to force the other party to show his full strength - only then can A1 collect enough information from Yan.
Yan probably didn't expect things to turn out like this.
After dozens of moves, he gradually felt powerless, but Qi Heng seemed to be getting braver and braver.
Not only did his attacks, which originally resembled those of a novice, become more mature, but each attack also became stronger, as if he was gradually adapting to this kind of battle and becoming stronger with each battle.
If you don't want to lose too badly, you can't hold back anymore.
When Yan blocked Qi Heng's kick, he felt his arm numb from the shock and decided to use all his strength.
As the fight went on, Qi Heng found that he seemed to be bullying the other person. Not only was Yan's physical fitness far inferior to his own who had cultivated star power, the same was true in his fighting skills.
During the fight, both of them clenched their fists and punched with all their strength every time, but Yan was not as good as him in combat skills and fighting moves. The only thing that was better than him was Yan's momentum.
——That was the aura that could only be felt after a life-and-death fight, a simple and unpretentious move designed only to kill the opponent.
This unsystematic fighting technique was good, but it was far inferior to the fighting skills he had learned from the Overlord. He could tell where some moves were lacking without any systematic analysis.
Under systematic analysis, every loophole in the moves will be exposed.
As long as he wanted, A1 could report all the loopholes to him and then eliminate Yan in one move.
Is this the current level of the Zerg? Although Qi Heng had expected this, he was still a little disappointed after confirming it.
It shouldn't be like this. I shouldn't feel disappointed.
He felt a sense of melancholy, and a bit uncomfortable. He thought that perhaps it was the memories carried by the Overlord after merging with him that had influenced him, otherwise why would he have such thoughts?
Qi Heng was distracted for a moment, but fortunately he did not forget that he was still fighting, so Yan's fist did not hit his face.
The sharp wind from the fist brushed against my cheek. Just thinking about it, I knew that being hit would be very painful.
He returned the favor with a punch, mercilessly aimed at Yan's chest.
Yan was furious as he had no time to dodge. After barely dodging it, he said, "Are you trying to use me as a bait?"
Even if he didn't notice it at the beginning, how could he not see now that Qi Heng's original strength was stronger than his own? The reason why the battle has not ended yet is simply because the other party doesn't want to end it.
"—I won't fight anymore."
Yan withdrew his hand and stopped where he was. He had no interest in being fooled by Chong.
Unexpectedly, Yan would say that. Qi Heng's next punch had already reached him, and in the end, the fist barely stopped before hitting Yan's solar plexus.
It was a close call, I almost lost control.
He put his hand down and explained, "I'm not using you as a weapon. I just don't usually fight with people."
"Really?" Yan was a little suspicious.
"Yes." Qi Heng said without changing his expression.
He had never fought with anyone, but the Overlord... the last time he fought was a long, long time ago. After all, the Tianjia civilization was very powerful before it established its dominance in the Milky Way, so powerful that the Overlord didn't need to fight personally.
If there is a real need, the Overlord only needs a look or an order, and countless Tianjia Zerg and Primal Zerg will rush forward one after another to destroy the Overlord's enemies.
Yan thought about his initially unskilled movements, which indeed didn't look like something he did often, so he reluctantly believed it.
As for wondering if this was Qi Heng's first time? Just kidding. Qi Heng's smooth and effortless movements in restraining him later on definitely couldn't have been his first time.
In comparison, the reason that I don’t often use my hands is more credible.
"You're very good." Yan is not someone who can't stand losing. He said bluntly: "You held back just now, otherwise I would have lost long ago."
Not only will you lose, but if it is a fight of life and death, you will definitely be the one who dies.
...I don't know if it's because Qi Heng's face is too good, he failed to attack it several times, and he finally threw a punch but it was dodged.
Hearing this, Qi Heng half-jokingly said, "Should I be modest?"
Yan rolled his eyes, punched his shoulder with his fist and said, "Why be so humble? Strong is strong."
"The boss is right."
"Qi Heng, I really didn't expect you to be so strong." Mo Nan gave him the coat, and was as surprised as the other female insects who watched the entire battle.
"Does this count as finding a treasure?"
Qi Heng put his coat back on and said to Yan with a generous smile: "You are also very powerful. You are the most powerful female insect I have ever seen here."
He is telling the truth.
There are not many female insects with better physical fitness in District 49. He asked the system to scan the basic data and compare it with the data previously recorded in the system database. Yan is the female insect with the best physical fitness among the newly recorded ones.
“…” Why do I think a female insect’s smile is so beautiful?
Yan felt a little strange when being stared at by Qi Heng, but the feeling was fleeting and disappeared when he wanted to think about it carefully.
"Boss? Boss? Are you listening?"
Yan came back to his senses: "What?"
"Can Qi Heng join us now?" Mo Nan asked.
"Of course!" Yan said without thinking.
Of course someone with such strength must stay. It would be their loss if they didn't let Qi Heng stay.
"Qi Heng, welcome to join us." Yan raised his head slightly and looked straight into Qi Heng's black eyes as deep as the night.
It’s not that I haven’t seen female insects with black eyes or black hair. There are quite a few female insects with black hair and black eyes in District 49, but Qi Heng seems to have something more than them.
Yan thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything else. Finally, he attributed it to Qi Heng's overly handsome face.
——After all, all the black-haired and black-eyed female insects I have seen are not as pretty as the one in front of me.
Even though they are all female insects and it is difficult for them to have sex with each other, they will still be involuntarily attracted to Qi Heng.
This is probably what it means when one's appearance is so good that even people of the same sex will be attracted to each other, Yan sighed in his heart.
In the following time, Qi Heng greeted and got to know the other female insects in the hunting team one by one, and then successfully became friends with them - really became friends with them.
They were very interested in Qi Heng's strength and expressed their desire to compete with him.
Qi Heng did not refuse. He accepted their challenge with a friendly smile and gave a good lesson to these female insects whose fighting skills were not as good as Yan's.
Then he was entangled.
By the time he finished giving instructions to everyone based on A1's analysis and his own vision, it was already noon.
After spending such a long time, Qi Heng did not gain nothing. At least in the process, he became familiar with the female insects in the hunting team.
"Have a drink of water." Yan handed him a bowl of water.
"Thank you." After talking for a long time, Qi Heng was really thirsty.
Yan said with mixed feelings: "Actually, you can refuse."
Yan saw everything Qi Heng did in the morning. Whenever Mo Nan and the others had questions, he would answer them and tell them which moves were lacking in strength or the angles were wrong, etc. He even taught them all the fighting skills he had just learned.
"Why would you refuse?" He took a sip of water and said with a smile, "It would also be good for me if you became stronger, wouldn't it?"
"We just met for the first time and you're so generous." Yan said.
Isn't that generous? Fighting skills are all based on one's own experience. Who would be generous enough to share them with a newcomer?
"You are willing to learn and I am willing to teach. It's a win-win situation, isn't it? And only when we are stronger can we hunt more prey."
After hearing Yan say that prey could be dumped in other places in District 49, Qi Heng changed the details of the plan. He changed the plan to teach Mo Nan and the others because he wanted to open up more markets in exchange for more star stones.
There is no other way. He now has to support one thousand and two original Zergs and Yan Ning and his son. So many mouths need to be fed, so he has to plan to earn more star stones.
In addition to the above point, Qi Heng also had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart.
That was to say, feeding the Devourers and the Fat Worms with Star Stones was probably just the beginning, and the demand would only increase, not decrease. After all, every one of the Primordial Zerg was a glutton, and this made him feel helpless.
There are so many things that cannot keep up with the changes in plans. Qi Heng can't guarantee that he won't raise a few more in the future...
The prerequisite for exchanging a large number of star stones is more prey. If you want to catch more prey, it is more appropriate to cooperate with a hunting team than to go it alone.
Another point is that the hunting team knows more about District 49, and many of the things they know are unknown to Yan Ning and his team, such as Lek, whom he is very interested in knowing, and the patrol team that is connected to Lek.
At the beginning of his time travel, Qi Heng set a bottom line for himself. It was one thing if he didn't want to cross it, but it was another if others took the initiative to step on it and dance.
Not only did he set his sights on his money, he also beat up Yan Ning on his side. Now he wants to run away after provoking me - how could that be possible!
Although the hunting team said they would help get rid of Lek, he still needed to pay the portion required.
It’s a little less than the amount Lek asked for, so it’s better not to give it.
People are greedy, and Lek and his friends will only seek more after getting benefits.
Qi Heng had no interest in paying out of his own pocket to support those who were classified as enemies. After all, even if he was doing charity, he still had to consider who the target was.
As for Lek's group of bugs, they were blacklisted the moment they caused trouble for him. Now he was just waiting to teach them a lesson they would never forget and would never dare to mess with him again.
Of course, before the right opportunity comes, I may have to spend some star stones to get rid of those female insects.
Qi Heng was lost in thought, but Yan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but pay attention to him.
Looking at the female insects who were trying out new skills in pairs, Qi Heng's eyes were filled with a faint smile that he himself didn't even notice.
...In terms of being very keen on becoming stronger, the Tianjia Zerg are still the same as in memory.
It seems that even though they have fallen into such a situation, the Zerg's fighting spirit has not been completely wiped out... It doesn't matter if the goal has changed, after all, what is important is the process.
If the original Zerg had no self-awareness and used the Zerg tactic of relying on numbers to kill the enemy from beginning to end in the war, the way the Tianjia Zerg waged war was completely different. Their way of war was similar to that of humans.
The Tianjia civilization is a legitimate advanced interstellar civilization, possessing countless fleets and interstellar mega-weapons, and the legions established by the entire civilization are even larger.
Both weapons and starships need to be used by the Zerg, and war requires command and various tactical coordination, which are things that the original Zerg cannot do.
"You..." Yan looked at his current appearance and wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qi Heng tilted his head: "Well, what's the matter?"
Yan was silent for a while, then said, "No, nothing."
He felt that Qi Heng's expression when he looked at Mo Nan and the others just now was like that of an old man looking at his son. No, to be more precise, it was like the satisfaction that an elder feels when he sees his younger generation working hard.
I must have seen it wrong. Qi Heng doesn't look that old. If I hadn't seen it wrong, how could I have had such an illusion?
Qi Heng looked at Yan in confusion, then turned his head back when he realized that Yan had no intention of speaking.
After a while, Yan said to him.
"Gather at the gate tomorrow morning at daybreak and go to the wasteland."
"Do you have any questions?"
"No." Qi Heng said.
…
That night.
In the dark night, a figure quietly approached the mining area.
The ground where the mining area is located is extremely desolate, with only a few wooden houses scattered around. Those are the houses where the one-horned people who manage the mining area live.
Not far from the wooden house are mountains of ore. These ores are piled together randomly. The ores dug out by the female insects every day are dumped on the ground. Over time, several mountains of ore are formed.
Perhaps because of this reason, the distance between each mine entrance is very far, and Qi Heng is not sure whether other areas he has not seen are the same as here.
On cold nights, the one-horned man would not leave the house, which gave Qi Heng the opportunity to get to know the surrounding environment of the mining area.
It is unrealistic to understand the entire ground environment of the mining area by yourself. The basic scanning function of the system can only scan the area around itself, and it cannot reach places farther away.
[A1, scanning function enabled, range one kilometer.]
[Yes, Your Excellency.]
He glanced at the mark on the system interface that indicated a position three kilometers deep in the abandoned mine tunnel No. 1, then moved and flew across the mining area at an extremely fast speed.
After reaching the marked point, he added: [Upgrade the scanning range to ten kilometers.]
[The specific opening and closing times for A1 are up to you. If you have limited energy, use whatever methods you can to conserve it. As long as the system can scan the environment along this route, it's sufficient.]
[Subsystem Scan] Temporary upgrade, consuming 10 energy points per minute.]
【The optimal solution has been determined and is now being implemented.】
Qi Heng listened to A1's voice and ran towards the dead egg pit. The blue-tailed butterfly came out of his pocket and flew beside him.
There was a vast wilderness between the mining area and the Dead Egg Pit. He had to cross the wilderness for fifty kilometers in a straight line. With the star power covering his legs, he kept rising and falling and jumping forward in the night.
Each take-off and landing was separated by a distance of several meters. This auxiliary combat skill of applying star power to the legs was somewhat similar to the light work in TV dramas. Except for the disadvantage of consuming too much energy for him now, it was perfect.
The blue-tailed butterfly flapped its wings and followed him. Every time it flapped its wings, a stream of aqua-blue light would appear, and at the same time, bits of bright blue powder would fall from its wings.
During this period, no matter how fast Qi Heng ran, the blue-tailed butterfly followed closely beside him without falling behind.
Its function is to transmit messages, but if there is enough energy, the flying speed can reach a minimum of 60 kilometers per hour.
More than two hours later.
Qi Heng stood at the edge of the dead egg pit. His star power had long been consumed, and he ran the rest of the distance relying on his own physical strength.
Even though his physical condition had improved a lot, running such a long distance in one breath was still a bit too much for him.
"Do you remember everything?" He looked at the blue-tailed butterfly flying in front of him.
The blue-tailed butterfly spun in a unique arc and then rested on his outstretched fingertips.
Of course it was not tired. This distance was nothing to the blue-tailed butterfly, but - no Zerg could resist getting close to the Overmind!
The blue-tailed butterfly with a dominant consciousness is not a good choice, and the blue-tailed butterfly that acts only on instinct after the dominant consciousness falls asleep is even worse.
"You know the entrance. Fly back and go down to the mine yourself later, then go find Huige to give it directions." Qi Heng used his mental power to give instructions to Blue Tailed Butterfly. It was impossible for him to go to the mining area tomorrow, so he could only let Blue Tailed Butterfly go now.
"Hide yourself well and don't let anyone find you."
"Especially the light you bring."
The blue-tailed butterfly flapped its wings, and the light on its wings began to fade, and finally no longer emitted any light.
"That's it, you did a great job." For the tool bug that didn't need anything, all Qi Heng could give was praise.
In addition, the tool worms would be very happy when they heard praise and would work harder afterwards, which made him praise the tool worms for becoming more and more skilled.
"Go ahead."
The blue-tailed butterfly took flight and circled toward him twice before turning around and flying off into the night.
Seeing this, Qi Heng turned and left towards District 49, with A1's report in his ears.
[Temporary upgrade of the scanning function consumes 100 energy points. The progress of the task [Mining Area Information Collection] is 100%. The specific information has been archived.]
[The progress of the mission [Wilderness Terrain Map] increased by 0.19%.]
Qi Heng was walking on a deserted road. He came out at night with the excuse of hunting a gray rabbit, but in fact he was going to explore the mining area at night.
I originally wanted to catch a round fish, but now I think I'd better give up.
Qi Heng felt exhausted from completely depleting his Star Power. He had an appointment with Yan and the others to go deep into the wilderness tomorrow. For his own safety, he had to recover his Star Power tonight.
It is true that the system I own has a high safety factor, but that does not mean that the wasteland is not dangerous to me.
