Chapter 44: Not convinced? Don't believe it? I'll beat you until you submit, and you'll believe it! ...
After a lot of trouble, Nan Qi finally had a meal. It wasn't porridge, as that wouldn't fill him up.
Nan Qi was the head chef, Bai was his assistant, and the two Chongs skillfully prepared a table full of dishes and a pot of rice. They also used a pressure cooker to make a pot of fragrant chicken soup. It was so delicious that Mellon, Peggy, and Pu Bo, who had come to see Bai, shamelessly sat down and insisted on sharing the meal.
Bai had a cold face. Nan Qi patted his shoulder and signaled him to eat quickly, otherwise the food would be eaten up by Mellon and the others. Bai then started to pick up his chopsticks quickly and picked up a lot of dishes for himself and Nan Qi.
The little black cat sleeping in the white collar was awakened by the noise, and curiously stuck its head out, just in time to be spotted by the sharp-eyed Mellon.
"Bai, what's that in your collar?"
As Melon was about to rip off Bai's clothes, Bai slapped him on the back of his hand, causing Melon to scream in pain.
But he still didn't give up. When Bai was handing the soup to Nan Qi, he stretched out his evil claws again!
"Ouch!!! It hurts! Bai, Bai, something is scratching me!"
Mellon suddenly screamed, and three scratches appeared on the back of his hand.
The scratches were not deep, but except for those male insects who liked to use their mental power to whip the female insects to torture them, it was almost impossible for ordinary swords and claws to leave marks on the back of the hand of an S-level female insect.
Peggy and Popo immediately looked towards the opening of Bai's collar. A small black cat jumped out from the opening of Bai's collar, squatted on Bai's shoulder, stretched out its front paws, and was about to lick its paws gracefully.
Bai stretched out a finger and pressed down the black cat's paw. The black cat refused. He touched the black cat's head and said softly, "Don't lick it, little heart."
Mellon: "...Bai, you actually called me dirty!!!"
Pu Bo and Peggy both held their foreheads: "..."
When will this idiot get the point? The point shouldn't be the white collar. Why would a black cat the size of a palm jump out?
If you look closely, the little black cat is actually not even as big as the palm of your hand, because most of its length is its tail, and there is more than one tail, which keeps waving.
Pu Bo counted them and found that there were nine of them.
It has nine tails, can injure S-rank female insects, and suddenly appears on a moving military starship...
This shows that this nine-tailed black cat is not a new pet hybrid created by some company.
Since Bai let it sleep in his collar and was so affectionate with it, it proved that Bai knew the origin of this little black cat and trusted it very much.
This little black cat had never appeared before. The insects on the starship were all their confidants, and no insect dared to violate the rules and bring the little black cat up. Only the three male insects were variables.
The little black cat should not be Arnold and Carter's. Bai couldn't let the two brothers' kittens hide in his collar. That would be a vital point.
Therefore, this little black cat must be related to Nan Qi. Nan Qi is an SSS-level male insect, and the little black cat is most likely Nan Qi's unique feature.
Pu Bo figured it out in a flash and slapped Mellon, who was still screaming: "Shut up, who told you to be naughty? Apologize."
"What?" Mellon's eyes widened in disbelief. He pointed at himself and then at the little black cat. "You want me to apologize to it?"
The little black cat puffed out its chest, as if saying: Just apologize to me.
Mellon: "...It's making me angry, did you see that?"
Peggy slapped Mellon on the back of the head with an expression of disbelief: "Are you stupid? Don't you think there's such a weird kitten on a moving starship?"
"Oh, yes." Melon finally remembered why he was scratched, because he found the kitten and wanted to ask Bai where the cat came from.
Seeing that Mellon's IQ finally came online, Peggy and Pu Bo looked at each other, and Peggy asked the first question.
Bai glanced at Nan Qi, and when Nan Qi nodded, he told him the origin of the little black cat and what Nan Qi had mentioned before about the female insect condensing into a spiritual body.
This was something he and Nan Qi had discussed. Of course, the method of condensing the spiritual body had to be verified on female insects of various levels in order to determine whether this method was feasible.
If they want to keep it secret, they cannot leak the method casually, so they can only select from the military, and even then they have to bear the risk of information leakage.
At first, Bai said that it would be better not to rush into anything, but Nan Qi persuaded him.
Nan Qi said, "If we want to promote the method of spiritual body concentration, we will have to overcome this hurdle sooner or later. If we are afraid of leaking the news and end up with insufficient experimental data, it will plant hidden dangers in the final implementation."
"It would be better to choose a female soldier you trust. I will supervise them at all times to prevent them from getting into trouble and hurting themselves."
Nan Qi's reasons were too convincing, and since it was for the sake of them, Bai didn't refuse anymore. He just said, "I will protect you well."
As long as I'm alive, I will protect you.
Even if I die, I will leave a way out for you.
The decision that could change the history of the Zerg was made in the back kitchen of the starship cafeteria, while two Zergs were cooking and chatting.
Bai felt both relieved and heavy at the same time. The thing Nan Qi had given him weighed heavily on his chest, making his eyes dry and he felt like crying.
Suppressing this feeling, he prepared the meal with Nan Qi as usual, and prepared to share the fruits of their labor together, when Mellon and the others arrived.
"So that's how it is. Mr. Nan Qi, do you have any proof that this is not another means for the male insects to control us?" After listening to Bai's story, Pu Bo looked at Nan Qi, his eyes full of in-depth investigation.
"There is no proof, believe it or not." Nan Qi generously let Pu Bo look at him, which made Pu Bo feel like he had offended Nan Qi.
In fact, he did offend Nan Qi, but this matter concerned the "survival" of the female insect, so he had to be more careful.
It is much better for him to be the evil bug than for Bai to react and become the evil bug himself.
In Nan Qi's heart, he can be a vicious villain, but Bai cannot be like that. Bai must be good in Nan Qi's heart.
Even if Nan Qi really has ulterior motives.
With this idea in mind, Pu Bo's eyes became sharper, and he found a hand blocking his view of Nan Qi.
It's white.
Pu Bo frowned, and heard Baimian say in a cold voice, expressionless, "I believe in Nan Qi, and I know you still have doubts about him. If you still recognize me as the general, then listen to me."
When the insects saw Bai's anger, they immediately fell silent. Before Bai could say anything, a hand was placed on Bai's shoulder.
Bai turned around and saw Nan Qi smiling and shaking his head at him: "Don't be impatient, let's take it step by step. If you want them to believe me, I have to show some of my own. Look at me."
"Okay, let's take it one step at a time. It's up to you." Bai's expression softened a bit, and he stopped arguing. He was ready to see what Nan Qi would do.
Nan Qi’s method is very simple - if you don’t believe me, just beat you into submission.
In this place that values both spiritual and physical strength, the most perfect solution is to speak with strength.
Ten minutes later, at the starship training ground.
The fully enclosed training ground, made of mithril and protected by a low-level black crystal, remained intact.
Mellon, Peggy, and Pope were lying on the ground in a miserable state, as if all the bones in their bodies were broken.
A nine-tailed cat, like an ancient giant beast, walked towards the three female insects lying in the middle of the field step by step with great grace.
With every step he took, the pressure on his body grew a little heavier, and the black crystal stone protective shield above the training ground cracked a little more.
When the big cat walked completely in front of the three female soldiers, the protective shield shattered completely, and the black crystal energy fell like raindrops and dissipated in the air.
The big cat has nine tails, which keep rhythmically moving behind it. During the movement, nine huge black energy spheres gradually form and float above the nine tails.
The energy is so strong that space seems to be compressed and distorted.
The big cat looked down at them, its eyes looking down on all living beings, as if saying - are you convinced?
The three female soldiers raised the white flag miserably.
When Nan Qi proposed a one-on-three competition, Mellon and Peggy thought Nan Qi was too confident.
They had all seen Nan Qi's abilities. Although they had no idea how to break through them after so many days, it was not particularly difficult for them to dodge them given their combat experience and speed.
Although Pu Bo is not a military female, he has the top mental power among the S-level. His basic physical fitness is better than Melon and others, and his skills are not bad either.
There were three of them fighting against Nan Qi alone, and Nan Qi had no chance of winning at all.
As if seeing through his thoughts, Nan Qi smiled brightly in the martial arts arena: "One piece of advice, don't show mercy."
Before he finished speaking, a giant beast suddenly appeared beside Nan Qi.
The giant beast's body was pitch black, its eyes were emerald green, and inside its heart was an intricate totem that shone with fine blue light.
If you look closely, you can see that it is a transformed butterfly totem.
But this is not the point. The point is the nine furry, towering tails behind the giant beast.
They were treated like a ball by the giant beast's tail and kicked all over the field, completely unable to fight back, even if Nan Qi did not use his mental power to suppress them.
However, this was not the end. A minute after they were beaten, they realized that this giant beast was the spiritual body that Nan Qi mentioned, because the giant beast and the little black cat were exactly the same except for the totem on their foreheads.
Since it is Nan Qi's spiritual body, if they can't do anything to this giant beast with incredible strength, how can they do nothing to Nan Qi?
Melon seized the opportunity and slipped out from the gap in the giant beast's tail and headed straight for Nan Qi.
The speed was so fast that even Bai was surprised.
When Melon saw Bai's reaction, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. This was the latest trick he had mastered.
Peggy and Popo also cheered in fragmented cheers, and Mellon's confidence grew, and his speed actually increased a lot.
But just when he was about to hit Nan Qi's shoulder, Nan Qi suddenly smiled.
That smile is very beautiful. Males are naturally beautiful, especially Nan Qi.
But this smile made Melon, who was about to succeed, feel a chill down his spine and gave him a bad premonition.
Then, the space above him suddenly seemed to be torn apart by something, and a huge tail suddenly shot out from the crack, blew Mellon away with the tail, and returned him to the state of a ball.
Mellon: "Ahhhhh, what kind of monster are you!!!"
Nan Qi: "Thank you for the compliment. Since you are so polite, I will teach you another lesson."
"Even a lion fights a rabbit with all its might. You shouldn't have underestimated me from the start. Knowing I possess SSS mental power, you didn't use your most powerful fighting style from the start. The result is that you'll never be able to use it again."
"I know you showed mercy because we weren't enemies. But after testing us, you realized we were insufficient. Why did you still hold back after you escaped from the shackled space?"
"This isn't mercy, it's stupidity." Nan Qi looked at Mellon, who was carsick after being tormented by the Nine-Tailed Fox. "I forgot to tell you, I gave you the chance to escape. I wanted to see if you were really that stupid. You know, those who want to kill you won't give you a chance."
"result……"
The three female soldiers who were being whipped like balls: "..."
It turns out they were really stupid, if they were given another chance, they would never make the same mistake again!!!
Then they were "played" by Nan Qi's spirit body for ten minutes. During this period, they tried to concentrate and release their wings countless times but failed.
If Nan Qi hadn't let them go, they would still be like being rolled in a washing machine.
Even so, Nan Qi was still not going to let them go, so they saw a scene that they would never forget.
The protective shield was crushed by the pressure from his body, and the terrifying aura on the black energy ball floating on his tail was so strong that it could even distort space.
The three female insects were convinced, completely convinced.
They now completely believed that Nan Qi's spirit body condensation method was not a means for male insects to control female insects. Those old guys had such a powerful method and they would have used it themselves long ago, so it would not be their turn.
This time on the trip to Porter Star, they really found a treasure!
Nan Qi did not make things difficult for Melon and the others. After the three insects admitted defeat, the black energy ball on the spirit's tail dissipated, and the black cat quickly shrank, flew into Bai's arms, and then climbed into Bai's collar and lay there motionless.
Bai touched the little black cat worriedly, and after finding that it was just asleep, he walked towards the three bugs in the center of the martial arts field.
"Any questions?" Bai leaned over to look at his miserable friend. "If you do, Nan Qi said we can have another fight."
"No more, no more," Sanchong shook his head like a rattle.
Bai showed a satisfied look, stretched out his hand and punched each of them: "I taught you to be arrogant. Now you know there is always someone better than you. Get up and stop playing dead. Nan Qi didn't hit you hard. If you don't go back now, the food will be cold."
After saying this, Bai walked towards Nan Qi, took Nan Qi's hand and walked out of the martial arts field.
Seeing this, Mellon and the others quickly got up and chased after the couple.
Bai turned his head to look at Melon and the others who were catching up with him, and the corners of his mouth rose.
There are partners around you who can work together with you, and comrades behind you who can be trusted.
Bai knew that he now really had the capital to continue doing what his predecessors had not completed.
And all this confidence was given to him by the male insects around him.
