Chapter 143: Extorting a Camping Flying Vehicle Worth 130 Million...
Jordi Collet arrived at the restaurant half an hour early. The Insect King's merciless behavior the previous night had left him feeling rather uneasy and haggard. To prevent the insects from noticing his distress, he dressed up before leaving.
High-level male insects are all very good-looking. Although Jody's level is not that high, his appearance is also outstanding. After carefully dressing up and changing into decent and beautiful clothes, his slightly pale face does not detract from his appearance at all. Instead, it makes him exude a kind of fragile beauty.
Jody Collet was very satisfied with himself and took a flying vehicle to the agreed coffee shop.
As soon as he entered the door, he received the attention of all the insects. He felt very proud and was looking forward to seeing the surprised expression on Nan Qi's face when he saw him.
It’s not that he has any other thoughts about Nan Qi, he just doesn’t want to accept it.
Why is it that Nan Qi, who also comes from a grassroots background, is so lucky to meet Bai Smellied and even awaken a second time to become an SSS-level male insect? It is obvious that Nan Qi was just a lowly F-level male insect miner before.
He didn't believe Nan Qi's statement that his mental power had never been tested before.
I didn't take the test when I was a child. Did Nan Qi miss the mental strength test every ten years four times?
Even children wouldn't believe this.
But he had to abandon the dignity of being a superior male insect, submit to the perverted body of the Insect King, and do all kinds of evil things for the Insect King in exchange for a little trust and attention from the Insect King.
But even this little bit of attention was transferred to Nan Qi after he appeared.
The Insect King has an extraordinary attention to Nan Qi. He knows that this attention comes from the Insect King's jealousy, but he is still unwilling to accept it. Why does the Insect King's attention shift as soon as Nan Qi appears?
That’s right, the Insect King was also jealous of Nan Qi.
The Insect King was jealous that Nan Qi could embrace Bai Smellide openly and let the Imperial God of War do everything for him. He was even more jealous that Nan Qi had SSS-level mental power.
The Insect King desperately wanted to know why Nan Qi had SSS-level mental power, and he also wanted to succeed in the experiment of unlocking Nan Qi's mental power advancement.
The Insect King had been keeping this experiment secret. He only knew a little about it because he had served closely for so many years, but that didn't stop him from piecing together the original picture from the bits and pieces.
He knew that the Insect Emperor had always been dissatisfied with his level of mental power. When he had just ascended the throne in his early years, some ministers criticized him for not having a superior level of mental power. They said, "It's barely S-level, strictly speaking, it's only A-level. It was changed to S-level just to save the royal family's face."
It is said that in the past ten thousand years, the empire has never had an emperor with such low mental power. He also wanted to use this to shake the throne of the Insect Emperor Hoover Walker, but he did not succeed.
I heard that when Hoover Walker was still a prince, the old Insect Emperor ignored him because his mental strength was not as high as that of other princes.
Therefore, the level of mental power became a thorn in Hoover Walker's heart. Even if it was pulled out, it would leave tiny burrs, making the wound unable to heal completely. It was a thorn that hurt him to the bone every time he thought of it.
This thorn drove Hoover Walker crazy, and he was willing to conduct live experiments even if it violated international experimental conventions.
This time, Hoover Walker asked him to get close to Nan Qi and take the opportunity to make Nan Qi "disappear" or "die" because the experiment had been stuck in a stalemate for too long, and Hoover Walker was stimulated by Nan Qi and could no longer wait.
But even if Hoover Walker was so jealous of Nan Qi, he would not really take Nan Qi's life.
Hoover Walker needs Nan Qi to be alive for research, and Hoover Walker likes Nan Qi's face.
He knew Hoover Walker too well.
Hoover Walker likes beautiful insects, and he likes the beautiful insects showing humiliated but unable to resist expressions under him even more, which makes his blood boil.
In addition, Hoover Walker has always had a morbid possessiveness towards Bai Smelliede, and Nan Qi is Bai Smelliede's lord. Based on his understanding of Hoover Walker, Hoover Walker will definitely humiliate Bai in front of Nan Qi. After Nan Qi has suffered the torment of being reduced to a slave under another insect by her female lord, Hoover Walker will humiliate Nan Qi in front of Bai and completely crush Nan Qi's pride as an SSS-level male insect.
This was Hoover Walker's bad taste. To be honest, he also wanted to watch it, but he didn't want Hoover Walker to focus too much on Nan Qi.
Why did it take him so many years and so much energy to win Hoover's favor, while Nan Qi attracted all of Hoover's attention with just her pretty face?
Even though he hated what Hoover Walker did to him, he would not allow his efforts to be replaced by other insects.
He wanted to prove that he was more tasteful, more educated, more beautiful, and more eye-catching than Nan Qi.
Feeling the vague glances and whispers of the bugs in the coffee shop, Jordi Collet was secretly proud. Even though he couldn't compare with their looks, the demeanor he had developed over the years in a high position was not something that could be compared to those of the bugs that randomly popped out of the corners.
However, he didn't feel proud for long, as his expression became increasingly grim because Nan Qi was actually late.
In order to show her good upbringing and graceful figure, Jody Collet sat upright and beautifully.
This kind of sitting posture required strength in the waist and back, but last night's ordeal had left his waist and back sore. The whip marks on his back were scratched by his clothes, causing tiny tingling pains that gradually turned into itchiness and pain, making the time even more unbearable.
Jordi Collet secretly comforted himself to wait a little longer, but this wait lasted for half an hour, plus the half an hour he arrived early, a full hour, and there was no message or communication from Nan Qi to tell him that he would be late.
"He is indeed a rude and impolite male insect with a very poor sense of time." Jody Collet whispered with gritted teeth.
The heating in the cafe was turned up high, and he had already started to sweat. The sweat stuck to the wound, and the itching pain turned into a stinging pain, which was even more unbearable.
After checking the time again, Jody Collet could no longer sit still. He suddenly stood up and wanted to go to the bathroom to take a breath, and then he heard loud and small exclamations in the cafe.
He reflexively looked towards the door and saw a male insect with superior height, outstanding temperament, and a soft light shining all over his body walking towards him.
The male insect has deep eyebrows and eyes, crystal white skin with a rosy glow, and lips that are neither thin nor thick, which are pursed in a smile. His medium-long hair is tied back on both sides with black crystal hair accessories, and there are black crystal tassels falling on his shoulders.
The long gown he wore was made of light gold flowing fabric embroidered with silver patterns. It would be a disaster for an insect of average temperament, but it would only serve as a foil to his elegance when worn by a male insect of superior height and build. The coat hung neatly on his arm made him look like a gentleman as elegant as jade, with his feathers shining.
Looking at the male insect looking over here while talking to the waiter, Jordi Collet's face became paler and paler, and for a moment, his expression twisted.
Why! Why is he so handsome? Standing in front of him, I look like a clown.
Jody Collet was already feeling unwell, and now, struggling to breathe, he nearly choked. Looking at the male insect approaching and greeting him, he took a long time to recover. He forced a rather unpleasant smile and said, "His Highness Nanqi is even more impressive, putting Jody to shame."
Nan Qi smiled innocently and patted Jodi Collet's shoulder hard, almost knocking him down. Then he said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I was so busy packing that I forgot to check the time."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jodi Collet calmly moved his shoulder, which was numb from being slapped. In his heart, he criticized Nan Qi for being rude, but he asked, "Your Highness, are you packing your luggage and going out? Excuse me, where are you going? If it's a planet Jodi is familiar with, Jodi can be your guide. His Majesty also asked Jodi to accompany Your Highness for a good tour."
"Really? That's great!" Nan Qi was pleasantly surprised. "I thought your message was just polite talk. I just happen to have some things to buy. Let's go shopping together. I've been in Central Star for so long, but I haven't really explored this shopping mall yet."
"Of course, it's not possible for Your Majesty to cover all the expenses mentioned in your message. I will pay for all the expenses myself. Your Majesty has been very kind to me. I really don't dare to trouble you again."
Nan Qi looked at Qiao Di sincerely. "Although I don't have much money, His Majesty gave me so many rewards before, which is enough for me to spend. His Majesty is really great!"
Jody Collet's mouth twitched when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Nan Qi was actually so... naive.
It was clearly a small favor from the Insect King to win the hearts of the insects, but he was so grateful that he burst into tears. It turns out that he is a narrow-minded person who comes from a small place.
Moreover, he had clearly begun to control Bai, but he had not yet obtained all of Bai's assets from Bai, and he was still so shabby when he went out to buy things.
After looking Nan Qi up and down, Jody Collet suddenly felt that he was really ridiculous and was frightened by Nan Qi's pretentiousness.
Looking at him now, there is no trace of his elegant demeanor or gentlemanly demeanor. He is just completely innocent and naive.
Innocent to the point of being stupid.
With a standard arc at the corner of his mouth, Jodi Collet said politely: "Please let me pay the bill. This is also His Majesty's order. If I let you pay the bill yourself, His Majesty will know and punish Jodi."
Nan Qi looked embarrassed: "Is this... like this? But..."
"Your Highness," Jody Collet said earnestly, "Please don't feel any burden. Jody will accompany you wherever you want to go."
"Well, okay then." Nan Qi blinked, "Excuse me, Jody. Let's go to the camping area first."
"Camping area? Your Highness wants to go camping?" Jordi Collet's eyes lit up. If so, he would have more opportunities to take action.
"Yeah." Nan Qi nodded vigorously. "I've already chosen the location. All I need to do is buy the camping equipment. I don't know much about it, so if Jody knows anything, please give me some advice."
Jody Collet: "Of course, the 22nd floor of the Donner Shopping Center is all about camping equipment. We can go there and choose. Even if Your Highness is interested in camping aircraft, I believe His Majesty will not be stingy."
"Then please let Jodi lead the way." Nan Qi smiled slightly. After Jodi started moving, he followed Jodi out of the cafe step by step and took the elevator to the 22nd floor.
*
Three hours later, Nan Qi said goodbye to Jordi Collet with an excited and embarrassed expression on his face.
The moment he turned around, he saw Jordi Collet's pale face, and Nan Qi raised the corner of his mouth.
Taking the initiative to mention a refusal and refusing after the other party mentions it are two different concepts.
In the former case, the other party will insist on paying for you, and you have to accept their kindness, and you have the initiative.
In the latter case, the other party also pays after the tug-of-war, but it is you who actively accepts the other party's kindness, and the other party holds the initiative.
In the former, you are an innocent and pure white lotus; in the latter, you are a greedy and scheming weed.
It takes acting skills to play a naive, stupid and slightly scheming fool. Nan Qi thinks he has good acting skills and prefers to play the pig and eat the tiger.
Since the hunter thinks the prey is too stupid, he wants to play a little game with the prey. He wants to feed the prey first and make the prey trust him before taking action. The prey naturally doesn't mind whetting its appetite and making the hunter bleed a little first.
Besides, a good hunter often appears as his prey, and it is still unknown who will win. He can only hope that Hoover Walker will really reimburse Jody Collet for today's expenses, otherwise he can only say sorry and thank you.
After all, that super luxurious camping aircraft worth 130 million star coins is really beautiful in appearance and fully functional, and it makes him happy just by looking at it.
If Bai saw this, he would probably praise him for being thrifty. With this aircraft, he could make whatever delicious food he wanted for Bai. In the future, he could also drive this aircraft to go camping with Bai in the wild. It would be a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.
