Chapter 3: The Strange Male Insect Who Actively Asked to Be Beaten
Nan Qi got up very early. Today was a sunny day with plenty of sunlight, which made people feel lazy.
After breakfast, Nan Qi put on his backpack and planned to go to the crystal trading center to exchange the remaining two black crystals for star coins, and then go to the game store to participate in the preliminary selection.
Siphis, who had given him the Black Crystal, had said that it was the hard currency of this world. Black Crystal could buy things that Star Coins couldn't, but Nan Qi thought about it all night and decided to exchange the Black Crystal for Star Coins.
The first is that there are very few merchants on Potter Star that can accept black crystals as payment;
Second, there is no difference between paying for ordinary things with black crystals and paying with star coins;
Third, things that can only be bought with black crystals are likely to be regulated. Even if I need them, I don't have the means to buy them. Even if I did, the two low-grade black crystals I have probably wouldn't be enough.
Fourth, Black Crystal is so valuable, and it's no secret that I got it. It's the size of a brick, so I can't carry it around with me every day. If a bug gets up and steals it, I won't be able to stop it.
Of course, if it were on a big planet, two low-level black crystals would not be a big deal, but on this small planet where insects are not very rich, the value of two low-level black crystals is quite tempting.
The most important thing is that he is very short of money now. The little money in the account has been used to pay Arnold for food and medicine, and he has already spent most of it on buying things yesterday.
If I don’t make some money, not only will I starve, but my life will definitely not be very comfortable.
Because the vegetables and fruits here are much more expensive than nutritional supplements!
After comprehensive consideration, Nan Qi felt that it would be safer to exchange the black crystal for star coins.
After locking the door, Nan Qi walked towards the commercial street.
He came out early, so there were not many bugs on the road. He casually dealt with two bugs that greeted him, and Nan Qi soon arrived at the Crystal Trading Center.
The transaction price of low-level black crystal today is 1:20000. Nan Qi exchanged two black crystals for 40,000 star coins, which solved his urgent problem.
Nan Qi felt much better and went to the game store happily.
After he left, the two male insects hurried to the exchange. When they learned that Nan Qi had already traded the black crystal stone, their brows knitted together.
"I told you we should have started last night, but you insisted you weren't ready," one of them said through gritted teeth. "Now, what you had in your hands is gone."
Another patted his shoulder and said, "Tott, he was able to find the high-level black crystal stone by himself. He must be no ordinary character. Am I not being cautious?"
"You're so cautious every day. He's just an F-rank male insect. What can he be capable of? If not... why would I use him..."
Thoth couldn't continue. If he hadn't offended the most sought-after insect on the central star, he, a C-class male insect, wouldn't have had to hide in this remote little planet. He didn't even have enough money to spend, and he still had to covet the low-level black crystal stones.
When he was on the central star, he used to throw this thing around for fun.
The companion heard what Thoth hadn't said, and a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed his emotion and continued to comfort Thoth:
"There's still a chance. Let's keep an eye on him. If he can find a high-level black crystal stone once, he might find one a second time. I don't need to tell you how valuable a high-level black crystal stone is."
After hearing this, Toth's eyes lit up and his attitude became much better: "Desen, you are really smart."
Dessen smiled and pulled Toth back.
Nan Qi was unaware of the series of events that had occurred after he left the Crystal Exchange. He was holding his exclusive number plate, waiting for the previous batch of bugs that had participated in the preliminary selection to come out of the game cabin.
He thought he had arrived early enough, but when he got to the store he found that he was already late. There were bugs queuing up at six in the morning.
Seeing Nan Qi’s confusion, the clerk kindly explained: “As long as you successfully register here and report to the local store, you will receive a 100 star coins reward.”
"If you pass the preliminary selection, you'll receive a 1,000 star coin reward, and each promotion will also receive corresponding star coins or physical rewards. The specific rewards are detailed on the official website of our Porter Star. You can take a closer look."
The clerk said this and guided Nan Qi to log on to their official website.
After discovering that Nan Qi didn't have an account and had never even played the game, the clerk showed no surprise or contempt. He quickly helped Nan Qi register an account and explained the uses of various equipment in the game.
Brave Fighter is a holographic fighting game. In the game, players feel as if they are in the real world, and all their senses are the same as in reality.
This means that when you get hurt in the game, even though your real body won't get hurt, the pain will be very real.
Normally, players can adjust their pain values by themselves, but during competitions, all sensory values cannot be adjusted.
In addition to the senses, the body's data cannot be adjusted. It is completely the data generated after entering the game cabin and scanning by the game cabin. This data is closest to the player's real data, and the mental strength level is not included.
In addition, appearance, clothing and name can be changed at will. Anyway, the number is uniquely bound to the contestant's identity gene. The identity gene will be confirmed every time entering the game cabin, so the name and appearance are not important.
All the equipment provided in the game are cold weapons. The victory or defeat of the game depends entirely on the player's own ability and skill, which can be said to be very fair.
Because all kinds of data cannot be adjusted, in order to protect the safety of players, when players suffer serious damage, the game cabin will directly disconnect from the players, and players can also admit defeat at any time.
After understanding this, Nan Qi nodded and thanked the clerk for his careful explanation.
Nan Qi is polite, sunny and handsome, with a straight back. Maybe because of his height, ordinary sweatshirts and casual pants look very good on him.
The whole insect looked clean and warm, completely different from those male insects that were covered in dust and dirt from mining every day. The sub-female clerk who was explaining it to him couldn't help but feel hot in her cheeks.
Nan Qi seemed to have not noticed the clerk's abnormality and continued to ask politely, "Are there any vacant regular game rooms? You know, I don't know much about it, so I want to enter the game first to learn more."
"Ah, of course." The clerk quickly changed from being a nerd to being professional. "This way, please. Your number will be available for selection in about an hour and a half. We'll give you a one-hour gaming room. Is that okay with you?"
Nan Qi really liked the clerk's thoughtfulness, thanked him again, and then lay down in the game cabin under the clerk's increasingly enthusiastic attitude.
The game cabin is like a large capsule with comfortable leather cushions inside, which is very comfortable to lie in.
After it was completely closed, an electronic voice sounded, and Nan Qi entered the game step by step according to the voice prompts.
When entering the game for the first time, players will first enter the home space, where players can adjust various data according to their preferences. After that, players who go online can choose the loading area by themselves.
He did not adjust his appearance and data, but chose a free mask prop to wear, casually gave himself the name AA, and left the home space and entered the fighting world, and began to look around this magical game world.
It was exactly the same as what was advertised on the game's official website. All the senses were extremely real, just like in the real world, which made Nan Qi feel a little dazed for a moment.
He walked and looked, and followed the map to the arena. After watching two fights, he had a preliminary understanding of the game.
Then he entered the competition space, studied it, and pressed the matching button.
Meanwhile, Mellon, irritated by the idiotic actions of the primaries, dragged his friend out, muttering, "I shouldn't have pushed you into watching the primaries. After all, you can only watch after you've made it to the runoffs."
The female insect he was pulling didn't say a word. Her dark eyes were calm without a trace of fluctuation, and she allowed Mellon to pull her out of the competition area.
Then, when Mellon suggested going to the senior arena to watch the game, he refused Mellon.
"Eh?" Mellon was surprised. "Bai, you're not going to watch those rubbish competitions again, are you? Don't you see there are a lot of male insects participating in the preliminary rounds? I guess they're all here for the 100 star coins. Let's wait until the semi-finals."
"Mellon." Bai Smellyde's voice was cold and calm, but it made Melon's voice lower involuntarily.
"I understand. I shouldn't look down on other bugs." Mellon touched his nose. "I'm not looking down on them. I'm just telling the truth."
Bai glanced at him, said "See you in the arena", and disappeared in front of Mellon.
Mellon took two seconds to react and sent a message to his friend in shock.
[Mellon: Bai, Bai, please don't click on the matchmaking button! This is a new account, so you can only play at the lowest rank. If the system finds out you're bullying someone, you'll be fined, and your reputation will be ruined! ! !]
In the competition arena, when Bai saw Melon's message, it was already too late. In order to avoid being discovered by the system, he was ready to admit defeat.
Just when he chose to admit defeat, the masked insect on the opposite side who noticed his actions spoke first.
His voice was very pleasant and warm. "Brother, can you please not give up yet? This is my first time playing this game today, and I want to experience the competitive mode properly. Please help me."
Bai's hand paused, his eyes falling on the male insect opposite.
Because all games require real-name authentication with ID cards, names can be changed at will, but gender cannot be changed.
Upon entering competitive mode, the system displays your opponent's basic information, including gender, rank, number of games played, win rate, and estimated combat power. Detailed physical data is not available.
So the other party should know that I am a female insect. This male insect knows that I am a female insect, but still calls me brother...
Is he really kind to insects, or... Bai narrowed his eyes, full of doubts in his heart.
Nan Qi saw Bai's reaction. As a seasoned warrior, he could sense the change in the other party's attitude, but he didn't care.
If he can fight, he will fight. If he can't, forget it. If these bugs can be beaten in the primary field, he won't pester the opponent in front of him.
Based on his experience, the enemy was definitely a skilled player, likely a low-level character. After all, no one knew each other outside the game, so he had no reason to be afraid, regardless of whether he had any ill intentions.
Nan Qi's heart was clear, and his aura was even brighter. He continued to invite: "Brother, give it a try. Didn't you come here to fight? Why admit defeat in advance?"
Bai's eyes flickered, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Nan Qi saw that there was a chance, so he continued to persuade her: "Let me tell you, I didn't adjust the pain value, and you're a female insect, don't you want to beat up the hateful male insect? Killing insects in the game is not against the law."
Bai suddenly spoke, his left hand resting on his right wrist, and his right hand gently twisting it, a hint of interest flashing in his dark eyes.
This was the first time he had encountered a male insect that begged him to beat him up.
Nan Qi saw the other party speak, knowing that he was moved by his proposal to beat up the male insect, and continued: "Yes, do you want to try it?"
"Okay." Bai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly punched Nan Qi in the face at an extremely fast speed!
