Chapter 6: What do you want to gain from the transaction, and what can you provide for me...
"How could it be?" Mellon's voice changed with astonishment. "Our female insect bodies are so resilient. With a mental strength level of A, we can physically travel and jump through space. How could we be knocked down by such a light blow? Besides—"
Moreover, under a large area of skin from the shoulder blades to the waist of the female insects is their sharpest and toughest weapon - wings.
So when fighting, no insect would be stupid enough to attack the back of the female insect, because that is their toughest part. Even the star beasts who can transform into the hardest beak will not easily attack the back of the female insect.
Not only did AA attack, Bai also said that the attack would prevent the female insect from getting up. Melon couldn't believe Bai's judgment.
But the facts forced him to believe Bai's judgment.
Bai's eyes were deep and his voice was calm. "This male insect is no ordinary person. Keep a close eye on him. When he comes to the Central Star for the finals, we'll have a good meeting with him."
Mellon nodded seriously, and then Bai said, "Download the video of his matches, and all the future ones too. He won't just use this ability this time. I suspect he has more moves we can't understand."
"Understood!" Mellon quickly made arrangements.
After everything was done, the male insect's second game began. This time, the male insect's opponent was not as strong as the previous one, and the male insect won easily again.
The male insect did not encounter any difficult opponents afterwards. However, within an hour, it entered the semi-finals with a perfect record.
Only after the male insect confirmed his performance and withdrew did Mellon come out of his tense state.
He stroked his chin and pondered, "Although Mr. AA won these subsequent matches very easily, the method he used to deal with the first female insect should be useful to him later."
"Yeah, he did." Bai crossed his arms over his chest and tapped his upper arms. "In the third match, he flicked his finger on the female's elbow, and she immediately became unable to lift her arm."
"In the sixth match, he kicked the female opponent just below the knee. His force was very clever, and the female's legs were obviously unable to move for a moment. And in the eighth match..."
Mellon was puzzled: "What happened in the eighth game? I don't see anything unusual."
Bai paused, turned his head and stared at Mellon for a while. When Mellon was confused, he suddenly attacked and hit Mellon above the stomach.
Bai only used half of his strength in this attack, and Melon only took two steps back without any discomfort.
After standing firm, Melon looked at Bai in confusion, not understanding why Bai suddenly pushed him.
Bai looked at his hand before continuing, "In the eighth match, he used just this one move, and the female opponent was in so much pain that she had to withdraw from the match. Judging by the tension in his hand muscles, the force he used was about the same as mine, unless..."
"Unless there's a bug cooperating with him to fix the match, but that's impossible." Mellon's face changed drastically, his voice dry. "I'm fine, but the female bug is in pain. This means that this attack doesn't rely on fierce force, but on precision. Or maybe there's something else we don't know about..."
Mellon paused and continued, "Is this move aimed at female insects, or all insects, or... 19, 19, he's a insect from the nineteenth district, should we..."
Bai shook his head: "Please be patient. I think we can ask him for the real answer."
Mellon: "How do you ask? Go find him in District 19?"
Bai smiled faintly, which made Meilong feel cold in his heart and his throat even dryer. "Don't laugh like that. If you laugh like that, it's a sign of bad luck for the worm."
Bai ignored Mellon and said softly, "I don't think he would pass up the opportunity to have a great sparring partner to spar with him."
Mellon: "?? What? What sparring partner?"
Nan Qi didn't know that his performance had attracted the attention of some bugs. After coming out of the competition warehouse, he found that the already enthusiastic store clerks became even more enthusiastic towards him, and even the manager and store manager came out.
Nan Qi was confused, so the manager explained carefully, "Mr. Ed, you don't know that our Brave Fighter game isn't just played by us Zerg. Other races in other galaxies also enjoy this game."
"This competition includes all players of the Brave Fighter game. These players will first compete within their own galaxy. Then, the top five players in the team competition, double-body competition, and single-body competition will have the opportunity to represent their respective galaxies to compete for the final victory."
"The champion, runner-up, and third-place winners in each group will receive generous rewards such as star coins and high-level black crystals."
"Oh?" Nan Qi's eyes flashed, and he said slowly, "What you told me is not on your game's official website."
"Could our manager possibly deceive you?" The store manager felt uncomfortable upon hearing this and frowned. "What good can we gain from deceiving you?"
Nan Qi lowered his eyes, all his emotions were restrained, and he was dignified without being angry: "Really?"
The store manager of the Brave Fighting Game Porter Star is a female insect. Although she is very professional, Nan Qi still hears the unfriendly tone in her voice towards her.
To be precise, it is unfriendly to male insects.
If it was a high-level male insect, he would not dare to do so, at least his tone would not be so obvious. It was only because he was a so-called F-level waste male insect that he dared to do so, even if they needed his help.
Although he knew about the conflict between male and female insects, Nan Qi could not tolerate the other party's attitude towards him when he had not done anything to hurt the other party and had not said anything offensive.
He was just good-tempered, not a pushover. He wasn't prepared to give face to anyone who treated him badly.
The aura around him was no longer restrained. The aura honed through countless life and death experiences carried an indescribable and inexplicable bloody aura and rushed straight towards the female insect manager, but did not affect other people in the store.
The store manager's face immediately turned pale and his eyes trembled. After a moment, his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground in a dreadful manner. He was trembling so much that he couldn't utter a word, causing the female clerk behind him to look at the manager in confusion.
The customers in the store also noticed something unusual and looked over here, craning their necks to see what was going on.
The manager winked at the clerk, who understood and went out, closing the door between the competition area and the viewing area to block the curious eyes outside.
"Mr. Ed is really different from the male insect I know," the manager said, looking at Nan Qi with a smile. "Can I invite Mr. Ed to my office to talk?"
Nan Qi raised his eyes slightly and said, "I think it's not necessary. I'm just an F-level useless male insect who can only make a living by mining. I only participated in this competition because the prize money is enough to impress me."
"Oh? Then Mr. Ed, don't you want to know what the final prize is?" The manager smiled. "That's much more than the 1,000 star coins for entering the semi-finals."
"And then?" Nan Qi leaned lightly against the competition cabin behind him, his posture casual and handsome, his legs long and straight. "As for what you said, as long as I keep winning, I'll know sooner or later. Whether you tell me or not actually has no effect on the current competition."
"So, don't keep me in suspense. What do you want, and what can you offer me?"
Nan Qi raised his eyes, glanced at the store manager who was about to faint, and slowly curled up the corners of his mouth into an evil smile: "I don't want to listen to any more garbage."
When the manager heard Nan Qi say this, he knew he wasn't the kind of man who would become arrogant and conceited just because he had some talent. He didn't beat around the bush and directly stated his request.
"I hope Mr. Ed can participate in future competitions with our store's name," the manager said frankly. "As long as Mr. Ed advances to the top 100 in this galaxy, our Potter Star store will receive generous promotional funds, and I'll get a promotion, too."
"What I can offer Mr. Ed is a generous compensation, one of our company's top-end gaming consoles, and a decent-paying job. I can pay half of all the above compensation upfront."
As if afraid that Nan Qi would think it was too little, the manager continued, "This is a win-win situation. Mr. Ed might as well consider it. Even if you don't agree, it's just a matter of whether I get promoted or not."
"Really?" Nan Qi smiled. "How can you be so sure that I can do this that you're willing to offer such generous terms as paying half of the compensation first? But—"
Nan Qi paused, his lowered eyes just seeing the manager's fleeting coldness. He thought to himself that he was an old fox, but he smiled elegantly.
"What the store manager said just now is right. I'm just a useless male insect, and there's nothing worth your coveting. So I agree to cooperate, but I have one condition."
"What conditions?" The manager smiled amiably. "As long as we can provide it, we will definitely meet your requirements."
Nan Qi chuckled and patted the competition booth behind him. "I need a sparring partner. Could the manager arrange one?"
"Of course," the manager agreed readily. "I'll arrange it for you right away. You can also choose the time. Also, you can just call me Lenk."
Nan Qi listened to his straightforward answer and gave him a deep look before smiling and replying, "Thank you very much, Mr. Lunke."
Lunk nodded: "It's my pleasure to be of service to you."
"Then I won't bother you any more. I'm a little tired after playing 10 games, so I'll go back and rest. I'll send the specific sparring time to Mr. Lunke's Star Brain," Nan Qi paused, "I don't know what Mr. Lunke's social account is."
Lunkley opened Star Brain and exchanged Star Social accounts with Nan Qi. He smiled and watched Nan Qi leave the store before looking at the store manager who was lying on the ground and about to faint.
"How long are you going to keep pretending?"
The store manager gave a wry smile and said, "He's not pretending, Lunke. Are you sure he's an F-class male insect?"
Without waiting for Lunk to answer, the store manager continued, "No, he really doesn't have any smell on him, and he didn't use any mental suppression on me."
