Chapter 2: Opportunities to Earn Money: Brave Fighting Game Competition
Nan Qi has been in this world for half a month. He has been living in Arnold's house for the first seven days.
When he was finally able to move freely and got a new ID card, he moved out of Arnold's house and lived in the employee dormitory of the mine.
The day after moving, Nan Qi went to work mining with other miners, and searched for useful information from the miners' conversations.
Black crystal ore is rare and even more difficult to mine. Whether you can dig it out depends entirely on your experience and means.
The food, clothing and other necessities of the miners and their families all depend on mining.
If the black crystal is mined out quickly, they will be transferred to another planet to continue mining, and everything will have to start all over again, so they are very hostile to new miners.
Nan Qi didn't bother to cause trouble and quietly searched for a new mining spot on his own.
There had been no gains in the past few days, and Nan Qi had been barely filling his stomach with the subsidies given by the mine to new employees. It was not until today that he dug up two high-grade black crystal stones and paid off the debt he owed to the mine a few days ago, as well as the money he owed to Arnold.
After solving the problem of food and clothing and buying the Star Brain, Nan Qi finally had the leisure to wander around this strange world.
The planet they are on is a small planet called Potter Star. Because of the production of black crystal stones, in addition to the local military and police, there are also special troops stationed there, but Nan Qi has never seen the legendary female soldier.
Nan Qi had seen ordinary female insects before, but perhaps due to their low spiritual power, their wings were broken. Even if they were not broken, they would not show them to him.
He was quite curious about what the female insect's wings looked like, and how they differed from the spiritual characteristics that appeared after their spiritual bodies possessed a body.
While walking around and observing, Nan Qi discovered that except for the lack of food, other things on this planet were quite abundant.
The lack of food does not mean a lack of grain in the traditional sense, but a lack of delicious food.
I don’t know if it’s because everyone on the mining planet is short of money, or if there is a shortage of food in this world, but since arriving in this world, Nan Qi has never eaten a normal meal. All he has eaten are bags of nutritional supplements.
There are many flavors of nutritional supplements, and they are not bad. However, Nan Qi is used to eating food that smells like smoke. Eating nutritional supplements that are like rice porridge every day is making him almost have acid reflux.
As he walked, Nan Qi was attracted by a restaurant. The shop was small, but there were many insects, all of whom looked very happy. Nan Qi also saw Arnold and Carter.
It seemed that Carter was no longer angry with Arnold, and he even put the food in his bowl into Arnold's bowl.
As if noticing Nan Qi's gaze, Carter raised his head and then quickly lowered it. Nan Qi clearly heard a hum.
Arnold also noticed Nan Qi. He was embarrassed by his brother's hostility towards Nan Qi. He could only apologize on behalf of Carter and invite Nan Qi to sit with him.
Nan Qi found it funny, rejected Arnold's invitation, and turned away.
Seeing Arnold looking at Nan Qi's leaving figure, Carter snorted again: "Brother, why do you like this bug of unknown origin so much?"
Arnold turned around and said, "Carter, don't be willful. Nan Qi didn't offend you."
"I just can't stand you being so nervous about him," Carter pouted. "Don't you find his attitude of having everything under control annoying? We're all useless male insects, so why is he pretending? He even lied to me that I could dig up high-grade black crystals in the heights..."
Arnold shook his head without arguing. He ordered two more side dishes and said to Carter, who had refocused his attention on eating, "Eat more and have a good rest tomorrow."
Carter: “Yeah.”
Nan Qi heard every word the two brothers said, and he chuckled, "Am I being envied again?"
Nan Qi was not unfamiliar with this kind of experience. As one of the few SSS-level sentinels in the empire, he had witnessed all kinds of jealousy. Carter's was child's play.
After spending two hours walking around the entire commercial street, Nan Qi returned home carrying a lot of bags.
He bought himself clothes and underwear, a refrigerator and various kitchen utensils, as well as some food. There was little money left in the account, and Nan Qi was considering whether to dig two more high-grade black crystal stones to exchange for money.
The refrigerator was delivered to the door by the store. While waiting, Nan Qi cleaned up the kitchen, put the few seasonings he bought on the spice rack, and found some usable spices he had collected while looking for ore. Then the doorbell rang.
The refrigerator delivery guy is here.
Nan Qi opened the door and watched the clerk adjust the refrigerator before returning to the kitchen to start his own cooking plan.
There weren't many kinds of food on the street, and they looked somewhat different from the food in his original world. Nan Qi took a long time to pick out an ingredient called purple round that was similar to eggplant.
There was no rice in this place, but there was something called snow rice, which smelled more fragrant than rice, so he bought it.
Tonight, he plans to make braised purple dumplings and steam some snow rice to have a delicious meal.
Nan Qi did what he said and washed rice and cut vegetables skillfully. Half an hour later, the whole house was filled with fragrance.
With a mouthful of snow rice and a bite of braised purple dumplings, Nan Qi showed a happy smile.
"This is the life of a human being," Nan Qi sighed, "Thank you grandma for teaching me how to recognize vegetables and cook. Grandma is my god."
After finishing his meal happily, Nan Qi was in a better mood than ever before. After half a month, he finally had a full meal in every sense of the word. It was really not easy.
After clearing the dishes and taking a shower, Nan Qi lay on the bed, turned on his star brain and began to search the development history, history, various laws and regulations, and military and political functions of this galaxy.
Soon, a sci-fi translucent web page was projected in front of Nan Qi, which aroused Nan Qi's interest.
Through the history of development and history, Nan Qi learned about the origin and development of the Zerg and the Star Beasts who were hostile to the Zerg.
As the name suggests, the Zerg looked like various insects a long time ago. Later, it developed to the point where only female insects with high levels of mental power can display complete wings.
During this process, the male insects that were originally brave and good at fighting, as if something went wrong during their evolution, not only did they completely lose their Zerg appearance, but as their mental power levels increased, their bodies became weaker and weaker. Those with lower mental power levels, on the contrary, had better bodies.
Of course, this physical weakness is relative to the original Zerg. According to Nan Qi's observations, the strength and physical condition of the male Zerg around him are better than some elite soldiers in his original world.
It was also because of this that he suspected that the lowest level of mental power in the Zerg world might be the highest level in his original world.
Because male insects suddenly became weak and female insects could not do without their comfort, the law began to favor male insects. At this time, the law still adhered to the most basic principles of justice until two thousand years ago.
Two thousand years ago, the number of high-level male Zergs born decreased, and the Zerg encountered another major crisis besides the Star Beasts, the breeding crisis.
For some unknown reason, the Zerg, which was once known for its fertility, began to have difficulty in having offspring. Male Zerg with a mental power level below D could hardly make females and sub-females pregnant.
Even if they become pregnant, the offspring are all low-level, with almost no exceptions, and the fertility of high-level male insects is also declining.
The final research shows that male insects with higher mental strength can only make female insects pregnant when their reproductive desire reaches its peak, that is, when they want to make the female insects pregnant.
In order to make male insects reproduce willingly, they must feel an unprecedented sense of security, which is why the law has gradually become what it is today.
"This is too ridiculous. Male insects actually have this ability. Isn't this better than condoms?" Nan Qi felt that his mind was severely shocked.
After the impact, he began to understand why the female insects, who were so powerful, were still restrained by the male insects. It turned out that the male insects controlled the "life" and reproduction of the female insects, and there were also the star beasts outside who were eyeing them covetously.
Faced with internal and external troubles, the female insect endures this kind of pain in order to preserve the species.
However, this kind of patience is probably limited. Once the limit is reached, patience will turn into karmic fire that burns all insects.
"Tsk, not fun at all." Nan Qi shook his head, threw these historical laws aside, and began to look at military and political functions.
His current address is the Zerg Empire in the Troo Galaxy. The Central Military Headquarters is the highest department in the military, also known as the General Military Headquarters, and is stationed on the central star.
There are six major military headquarters outside the central star, and each military headquarters has various branches of the military, which will be dispatched by the general military headquarters in wartime.
The highest military rank is Marshal, followed by General, Lieutenant General, Major General, and Brigadier General. These generals can become the chief commander of the garrison on a planet of the corresponding rank.
In addition, there are colonel-level officers, lieutenant-level officers, non-commissioned officers, etc., which are not much different from Nan Qi's original world.
The functions of the government are very different from those in Nan Qi's original world.
The highest authority here is called the emperor, and his functions are the same as those of the emperor in feudal society. Under him are the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Public Relations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Science, and the Ministry of Star Police. The military is independent but is also under the jurisdiction of the royal family.
Except for the Military Department and the Star Police Department, which are headed by female insects, and the Public Relations Department, which is headed by sub-female insects, the heads of the remaining departments are all headed by male insects.
It is indeed difficult for female and sub-female insects to turn things around when their finances, industries, agriculture and science are strangled.
It seems that although the male insect is not in good health, he is not stupid.
After getting a general understanding, Nan Qi began to carefully read the introduction about the Zerg's mortal enemy, the Orcs. After reading it, Nan Qi felt a little amused.
It turned out that the Star Beasts were the various birds and fowl from his original world. No wonder they were so eager to see the Zerg. Birds eat insects, that was something even a three-year-old child there understood.
Besides the Star Beasts, there were other races, some of which maintained friendly diplomatic relations with the Zerg. Nan Qi looked through them all but found no humans.
Although he had already prepared himself for coming to a completely new world, Nan Qi couldn't help feeling depressed when he confirmed that humans really did not exist in this world.
With a sigh, Nan Qi composed himself, closed all web pages and prepared to go to bed. Suddenly, a game promotion web page popped up.
It is a fighting game based on group, double-worm, and individual worm battles. In order to give back to players on the tenth anniversary of the game, players are specially recruited from all planets to participate in the competition.
Nan Qi was about to turn it off, but when his eyes fell on the amount of the promotional bonus, he suddenly became interested.
The champion of the single-worm competition will be rewarded with 1 million star coins. The competition time is set at 7 o'clock every night for three days, and the preliminary round will be held entirely online.
All he needed to do was sign up, and then go to the local store of this game tomorrow to participate in the preliminary selection. While shopping today, he actually saw the store of this game.
After the preliminary selection, the Game Chamber of Commerce will send special game cabinets for the competition to the contestants, and they can then participate in the competition according to the schedule.
"Perfect!" After Nan Qi finished registering, he turned off the Star Brain and lay down to sleep happily.
The Central Star Military Headquarters far away from Porter Star.
In the admiral's office, Adjutant Mellon was giving a work report.
As the report drew to a close, Mellon closed the file, his voice changing from businesslike to tender. "Bai, the Brave Fighting Competition you're interested in will be held in three days. I've registered your account, and the preliminary rounds will be tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
The female insect sitting behind the large desk looked up when she heard this, and her sharp eyes flashed under the light.
After a while, just when Mellon thought he would not hear any answer, a cold voice rang out: "Okay."
