Chapter 56: A New Path: We must know that the masses are the living beings, and the living beings...
With the new clue, Bai didn't work overtime. After dinner, he took Nan Qi home.
Mellon Page followed in after asking for information, and was stunned by the changes in the Bai family as soon as she entered.
Looking at the warm and beautiful living room, Mellon took a long while to utter a word: "Love is more important than friendship."
Peggy looked at him like an idiot, left Mellon behind, and followed Lily to find Bai and Nan Qi.
Mellon gritted his teeth, then suddenly burst into laughter, muttering to himself, "Bai is quite obedient. He's quick to act. I just don't know if he used the things I gave him. I'll ask him later."
After muttering, Mellon strolled off to find Bai.
In the room on the second floor, a female soldier from the military's information technology unit inspected Nan Qi's game console and finally shook her head.
"No, everything is normal. No viral program that could harm neurons was found."
Bai waved his hand and told him to go back and rest first. Junxi took her tools and said goodbye and went back.
Peggy leaned over to look at the restored game cabin: "Did we wrongly accuse the Brave Game officials?"
Bai frowned and said nothing. Melon came over leisurely and laughed when he saw their gloomy faces.
"You're all nuts! If the virus was installed by the installers during installation, Nanqi's game console was installed by our bugger himself, so how could the virus have come from there?"
"That's right." Peggy also reacted, "If you put it that way, there's really nothing wrong with it."
Nan Qi also reacted this time. He really didn't know that the person who came to install the game cabinet was also a female soldier. He just thought it was an official installation employee of Brave.
I used to suspect that there was something wrong with my game console because the opponent attacked me during the rematch. Now it seems that even if I was accidentally attacked, I probably wouldn't fall into a coma.
But the game cabin was normal, so why would the other party attack them? What happened in the meantime that they didn't know about?
Now the clues are broken again. They are not legitimate and cannot get the list of those who were not successfully assassinated, nor can they check the game cabinets of those players.
As for the unconscious player's game console, they had checked it and found no problems. However, this "no problem" was easy to achieve. All they had to do was successfully launch the virus program and then self-destruct.
"So what now?" Peggy asked the key question.
Bai thought for a moment and said, "First, let Chong keep an eye on the official high-ranking officials of the Brave Warriors and see who they are in contact with. Let's put the rest aside for now. We can't act rashly without evidence."
"This is the only way for now." Nan Qi walked to Bai's side and sat on the game cabin. "The fox will always show its tail. You should also pay attention to those pests. I always feel that their harm is not the end, but the beginning."
"Why do you think so?" Mellon came closer and knocked twice on the hard shell of the game console. "Why do you feel that this is not the end, but the beginning?"
Nan Qi said: "I am speculating based on the fact that the official high-level officials of Brave Warriors were involved in this incident."
"The Brave Fighter game took the entire Troo Galaxy by storm upon its release, and within three years it had spread like a virus across nearly the entire known universe. With such a cash cow, even if the top brass wanted to do something, they probably wouldn't risk the game."
"Since they're taking this risk, their goal can't just be to knock some female or male insects unconscious. They must have a backup plan. Otherwise, wouldn't that be like using a cannon to smother a mosquito? The cost and reward aren't proportional. Who would engage in such a losing business?"
"That makes sense." Peggy suddenly realized, "I'll send insects to monitor and protect the affected insects and their families and see if there's any results."
"Well, these are just my guesses. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but there won't be any results." Nan Qi said with a smile.
"Don't think too much. I think your guess is right." Bai An comforted Nan Qi, "Anyway, the clues are broken, so we still need to keep regular surveillance for a while."
Nan Qi nodded with a smile, rubbed against Bai, and got closer and closer to Bai.
Peggy and Mellon saw all this and tactfully said goodbye.
Bai wanted to send him off, but was stopped by the two bugs. Bai did not insist, and after the two bugs left, Bai pulled Nan Qi out of the room.
Nan Qi followed Bai obediently and felt that something was wrong with Bai's mood.
"Bai, what's wrong with you?" Nan Qi paused and pulled Bai towards him, "You are not happy."
Bai lowered his eyes, blue swirling in his eyes: "Nothing."
Bai wanted to leave, but Nan Qi held him back: "Tell me, is it because of me? Are you thinking of me because of those unconscious bugs? Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
Bai Buyu was a little embarrassed and felt that he was being hypocritical, but when he thought about how Nan Qi might have been ambushed if it weren't for his sudden impulse, and how they wouldn't have met, he felt a mixture of anger and fear.
"I know you're very capable, I was just worrying..."
"I'm not worrying about nothing. I'm very happy that you care about me." Nan Qi smiled brightly, "Really, I'm very happy."
Nan Qi took Bai's hand and started walking again, humming an unknown tune and mumbling, "It feels so good to have a bug care about you."
He has never had any friends or relatives in this world, but now there are Chong who care about him for things that have not happened. This feeling is really good, as if he has a connection with this world and is no longer a ghost from another world.
This feeling is amazing! I feel relaxed and refreshed!
Bai looked at Nan Qi, whose back even exuded a happy aura, with a slight smile on his face. He also felt that this feeling was very good.
At night, thousands of lights are on, the streets are brightly lit, and neon lights are flashing.
The aircraft shuttled between the tall buildings, and the insects were eager to return home.
In a high-end residential building in the east of Central Star City, the female insect heard the door open and hurried to greet it.
"Ross, how about it, is there any solution?"
The male insect named Ross shook his head and hugged the female insect in his arms: "I'm sorry, Lovi, I haven't found a way to save our child, but I heard about a place that is said to be able to save our child."
"Then send it quickly," Lovey looked at Ross with red eyes, "What do they want? No matter what the cost, I will make Kokol better."
Ross shook his head. "Lovi, it's not about the price. That place is completely sealed, and I've never heard of any scientific research results there. I'm worried it's just a scam."
"But there's nothing we can do." Lovey was at a loss.
Yes, they had no choice. After their son Kokol fell into a coma, the Brave official compensated them with a large sum of money and covered all of Kokol's hospitalization expenses.
But although their family is not a wealthy family, they are not short of money. They just want Kokol to get better and seek justice for Kokol.
But they couldn't defeat the giant Brave Official, so they could only accept the money reluctantly.
They had nothing left and were in a desperate situation. There was no other way but to take a risk. If they continued like this, their Kokol would leave them forever.
Luo Wei couldn't cry anymore. He looked at Ross with red eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Let's give it a try. We don't have anything worth coveting, Ross... okay?"
Ross gritted his teeth and hugged Luo Wei tightly. After a while, he nodded: "Okay, let's try it."
At the same time, similar things happened in the same yet different families.
Some families feel that their children are already in this state and would rather die under their noses; some families are short of money and have finally received a large compensation and do not want to risk losing both their money and everything; some families, like Ross and Lovey, are willing to pay any price to wake their children up; and some families are waiting and watching. After all, they have money and power and can save their children's lives first.
That night, countless families spent their time in crying, quarreling, depression, and resentment.
When dawn comes, all the crying, quarreling, depression and unwillingness fade away, and everything starts to move towards the decision they have made.
The female soldiers that Bai had sent to monitor and protect the families of the victimized male insects also took action.
Rushui's report flew into Bai's military terminal before Bai went to the military headquarters. Bai hurried to the military headquarters without even having breakfast.
The fox's tail was finally exposed, although they still didn't know whether the "place" that suddenly appeared was related to this matter.
Nan Qi looked at Bai Li's departing back, and a word suddenly popped up in his mind - the storm is coming.
Shaking his head, Nan Qi was too lazy to cook. He was used to having Bai accompany him, and it would be boring to eat alone.
Holding the first-generation nutrient supplement in his mouth, Nan Qi drove out the aircraft that was given to him for free. In the past few days, he has become proficient in flying the aircraft and has also passed the driver's license test.
Normally, he just uses the automatic flight mode, and the driving skills are used as an emergency measure when there are problems with the automatic flight.
Since he didn't have any games today, he decided to go play with the Arnold brothers.
After Arnold and Carter followed him to the Central Star, Bai arranged them to stay on the upper floor of the same building as Mellon.
These days, the two brothers have been busy preparing for the opening of their store, but he, the boss, is quite relaxed, which makes him feel really embarrassed.
After talking to Arnold in advance, Nan Qi found out that today was the opening day of their store.
Arnold said, "I know you don't like these things, and I'm afraid it will affect your competition, so I didn't tell you. Since you are free today, come and see our store. Everyone wants to meet the owner."
Nan Qi immediately became timid and suddenly didn't want to look for Arnold anymore.
Arnold noticed Nan Qi's retreat and his eyes immediately became stern, but his tone was very gentle: "Nan Qi, we still have to take some responsibility, right?"
Nan Qi felt guilty, but he finally set the route and flew towards Tangne Shopping Center.
As soon as he entered Tangne Shopping Mall, Nan Qi was shocked by the wealth of Xueais Company.
There were large-screen advertisements, banners, and colorful flags. Creatures of all races passing by were shocked by the overwhelming publicity, and their curiosity was aroused, so they decided to give it a try.
Nan Qi followed these creatures and just arrived at the floor where the store was located. He was startled by the long line in front of the store. He wondered in his heart whether Arnold and the others had hired a tout.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he was pulled back by a member of the Illusion Clan in the front row and was scolded for being uncultured and trying to cut in line.
Nan Qi blinked and was embarrassed to say that he was the owner of this store.
Because he didn't even know the name of his store, he could only send a message to Arnold saying that he couldn't get in.
When Arnold came to pick up Nan Qi, he saw Nan Qi squatting in front of a huge pillar, bored and without any image, drawing circles on the shiny floor with his fingers.
Arnold: "..."
It's really disgusting.
He walked up and pulled Nan Qi up. He could really see that Nan Qi didn't want to get involved in business at all.
"Let's go. I'll put it in the box for you so you don't go out and cause trouble."
Nan Qi: "...I'm not a child, don't you know how reliable I am?"
Nan Qi is indeed reliable, and Arnold knows this very well. Without Nan Qi, he and Carter would not be where they are today.
But things are different now. Nan Qi's identity has changed. Although he has not made a public appearance yet, in order to prevent some people from targeting him, they decided not to let Nan Qi run around during this period.
Nan Qi had been busy with competitions the past few days and had no time to come out and play. Today he was free, so Bai specifically informed him before work that Nan Qi would likely come to see him today, and asked him to keep an eye on Nan Qi and make sure he didn't wander off.
That's why he threatened Nan Qi to come here.
After pushing Nan Qi into the box and bringing him a lot of snacks and freshly made braised food, Arnold left Carter to accompany Nan Qi and went out to do his own thing.
Nan Qi and Carter stared at each other and simultaneously attacked the delicious food on the table.
After eating and drinking, Nan Qi and Carter found another war movie to watch.
The movie tells the story of an F-class male insect who was born on a mining planet and entered a mine to mine when he grew up. He gradually became the god of war of the empire from a miner.
The story is very imaginative and unorthodox, but also extremely passionate and imaginative. Nan Qi quite likes to read it and enjoys it very much.
Carter was absent-minded. Halfway through, he couldn't help but approach Nan Qi and said mysteriously, "Brother Nan Qi, do you think my brother has changed?"
"Changed?"
"Yeah, he's just gotten more powerful." Carter shuddered as he spoke. "I've never seen him like this. How can he be so amazing? He obviously hasn't learned those things, but how come he knows everything? Am I a burden to him?"
Carter was feeling a little down. He had been following his brother around these days, watching him handle business with ease, being gentle and polite, yet arguing with his partners. His whole being was sparkling, totally different from when he was on Potter Star.
Nan Qi stroked Carter's hair and said, "Your brother is so powerful because he has you behind him. He became stronger for you, so you should also become stronger for him. I didn't slack off in the bodybuilding technique I taught you."
"Of course not." Carter lay on the table and tilted his head to look at Nan Qi. "Brother Nan Qi, you are also very amazing. The bodies of high-level male insects are not as good as our F-level male insects, but you are different. Brother Nan Qi, tell me, how did you train?"
"Once you master the Body Building Technique, you'll understand why." Nan Qi patted Carter on the back of his head. "As far as I know, high-level male insects are weak because their bodies can't bear the high-level mental power, so they are weak."
"Since they're weak, they can just exercise. But our empire values these male insects more than our own eyes, so we're not willing to train them ruthlessly. Even those male insects who pursue martial arts are trained scientifically."
"Scientific training means you're still not ruthless enough to push yourself to your limits, so you'll naturally remain weak. While your mental strength may be low, your physical fitness is superior. Constantly strengthening your physique is also a different kind of training."
Carter was puzzled: "But no matter how strong we are, we can't withstand the attacks of high-level psychics. It's useless to train harder."
"Why is it useless?" Nan Qi poked Carter's head. "You just need to surpass the mental strength of the higher-level ones."
"Think about it, once they activated their mental power, your fist would have already shattered his sternum. Would he still be able to show off his strength?"
"That's right." Carter's eyes lit up, and then he sighed, "It's a pity that no matter how powerful I am, I will never be able to drive a mecha in my lifetime. Mechas need to be connected to mental tentacles, and the lowest level is D."
"Then let's invent a mecha that can be driven by F-class bugs. There's always a way." Nan Qi rubbed Carter's head. "Every road is walked. How do you know if there is a road ahead if you don't walk?"
At this point, the movie reaches its climax.
The F-class male insect boy awakens a second time and becomes an SSS-class male insect. He drives the most advanced mecha to kill the most powerful monsters in the universe.
Watching the scene in the movie where the male insect boy was loved, Nan Qi raised the corner of his mouth: "Since we can't be that one-in-a-million miracle, we can just be ordinary people. You know, ordinary people are all living beings, and when all living beings become soldiers, that's the most terrifying thing."
Outside the door, Bai, Melon and the others were startled when they heard these words.
Body-building techniques, mechas that can be driven by F-class male insects, are all living things soldiers?
It seems that they are not unable to do it now, but they have never thought about it.
