Chapter 38
However, while the group of geniuses were trying their best to get Chenxi's attention, Chenxi was not looking at the tablet at that moment. His attention was completely drawn to the real-time battle game in front of him.
He was sitting in a virtual game pod, and opposite him sat the Crown Prince of the Ear Fox Clan. Looking further ahead, there was a whole row of such game pods in the game room, each with two seats opposite each other, and those seats were filled with the heirs of various races.
That's right. After having these royal heirs play racing games with her, Chenxi has developed a new game companion service: having them play games with her.
The games in the interstellar era are naturally exciting, with all sorts of interesting gameplay and virtual reality experiences, enough to keep you playing forever. But the only drawback is that he's now the only human left in the world, so playing the games still feels a bit lonely.
Of course, there are people on the StarNet nowadays. The 500 billion people of the AI Clan are not just for show. But to have every single AI in the AI Clan play games with him, Chen Xi felt he should save his breath.
Because he knew that even if he and Binlan played games intensely and evenly, and he won by a narrow margin in the end, gaining the ultimate gaming experience, every single detail of the outcome was definitely the result of the opponent's careful design. If he really thought he had won, then he would be truly an idiot.
In short, when fighting against the GQ, he knew in advance that no matter the outcome or how intense the process was, it was definitely a result of the opponent letting him win, and no matter how hard he tried, he had no chance of winning. Therefore, he was always very calm when fighting and could not gain any sense of accomplishment or satisfaction.
However, this problem, which once seemed unsolvable to Chen Xi, was solved perfectly when he turned his attention to the royal heirs.
And so, this scene unfolded: all the royal heirs were placed in game pods. After all, games in the interstellar era, like racing games, are quite easy to learn.
After giving everyone some time to learn and adapt, Chen Xi started playing and then enjoyed the real thrill of crushing weaker opponents.
Well, it's not unusual to beat noobs, the key is authenticity; he knows he's beating real noobs right now.
Sometimes, after a game ended, Chenxi would look up at the Ear Fox Clan Prince she was fighting against. She could see that the little Ear Fox's tender, adorable face, which made her want to pinch it, had become serious like never before. His usually big, watery eyes were also staring intently ahead, as if he was racking his brains to figure out how to win. This made Chenxi feel inexplicably moved.
Honestly, it's been so long since I've felt this real sense of victory.
Then Chenxi won many more games against the Ear Fox Clan Prince. However, after winning so many, Chenxi felt that there was no challenge. After all, the little ear fox was new to the game and had no chance against him, a veteran player.
The victory was too easy, which made it a bit boring. So Chenxi turned her attention to the other royal heirs. With so many people here, there must be one or two who are more talented at the game and play it well.
Thinking this, Chenxi brought up the battle panels of other players and began to observe them silently. After observing for a while, Chenxi really found a very interesting person.
Of all these people, the other party clearly learned the fastest. Not only were they very proficient in various operations, but they also used a little strategy from time to time, making their opponents almost completely overwhelmed. This surprised Chen Xi, because these royal heirs had all started playing the game at the same time and hadn't been learning for very long. Some of them were still stumbling and only half-understanding the game. But that person's level had clearly moved beyond the beginner level. How long had it been?
Chenxi couldn't help but look up at the number on the game screen, found the game pod in the room, and then saw a head of long blue hair.
Chen Xi paused for a moment. He vaguely remembered that long blue hair. It seemed to be from the Canaanite tribe. Hmm, it should have a pretty good relationship with Little Ear Fox. Little Ear Fox even helped him last time.
However, no matter how good their relationship was, it couldn't stop Chenxi from choosing her prey. "Hmm, you're the one," Chenxi thought happily.
Chen Xi looked up at the Ear Fox Clan Crown Prince, who was still engrossed in the AI mode and had no time to pay attention to the outside world. She smiled slightly, then got up and left the game pod, sitting in another empty game pod.
...
Gae was completely immersed in the game. This thing called a game was something he had never even imagined before. The feeling of being in a real world even though he knew it was all fake was simply amazing.
The completely realistic sound and touch, every detail, made it feel completely natural, and at the same time, he could control everything... That feeling made him feel like he was the god of this world. But this realistic world that made him feel like a god was just for entertainment in the eyes of the Ghibli.
Of course, he must also admit that this kind of entertainment has the power to make anyone fall for it.
When the victory notification appeared before Gae, all illusions vanished, and he returned to reality. He saw the game pod he was in, but while Gae was still somewhat dazed, the pod door opened automatically, and the Societies standing outside were coldly watching him. Gae jolted awake and almost immediately snapped back to reality.
A minute later, Gae sat in the game pod opposite Chenxi.
Chenxi looked up and smiled slightly at Jia'e, saying, "You played quite well. Let's play a few rounds. Don't be nervous, just play like you did when you played with others before."
Ga'ai looked at Chenxi's smiling face across from him and nodded silently.
Then the game begins.
After the game started, Chenxi realized that her choice was indeed correct. Fighting this Canaanite was much more exciting. Sigh, playing games is more fun when you have a skilled opponent.
Despite these thoughts, Chen Xi easily defeated her opponent and smiled at the handsome Canaanite man opposite her, saying, "Continue."
Just kidding, he's been playing this game for so long, how could he possibly be beaten by someone who's just started?
However, after a few rounds, Chenxi's confident and relaxed demeanor gradually turned serious. He felt increasingly alarmed as the game progressed, sensing a terrifying improvement in his opponent. His consistent advantage stemmed not only from more skillful maneuvers but also from mastering more advanced techniques. Yet, every time he used a technique, he felt his opponent rapidly absorbing and learning it, then using it against him.
After being tricked by a technique that was used by someone else before her, and then being caught off guard by the opponent's learned technique, Chen Xi sat up straight and focused 100% of her attention.
However, even when Chenxi took it seriously, it didn't make much difference, because the opposing player, Jia'e, was still improving rapidly. Finally, a small mistake by Chenxi in the game was seized upon by Jia'e, leading to a complete defeat for Chenxi.
Chenxi stared at the result in disbelief, and after a few seconds, said, "Let's try again!"
This time, Chenxi was more focused and more cautious, taking each step carefully, and finally achieved victory.
However, this victory seemed to be temporary. As Gae on the other side improved, Chenxi could no longer guarantee a 100% victory as before. He went from occasional defeats to losing more and more often.
Finally, after losing several games in a row, Chenxi got completely carried away and started to fight against Ga'e. However, Ga'e had already learned a lot of skills from Chenxi and mastered them game by game. His strength was already extraordinary. Moreover, the meticulous mind he had developed since childhood because of his own circumstances and for his own plans was something that Chenxi could not match. Therefore, Chenxi almost lost ten games in a row against Ga'e.
So poor Chenxi, who originally wanted to bully the weak, ended up being bullied and thoroughly defeated by the other side.
When Chen Xi saw the notification that read "Ten-game losing streak," she sat there in a daze for a long time, her ahoge (cowlicks) on her head seemingly standing on end.
As Gae watched the boy opposite him, who usually got whatever he wanted, sitting there looking quite dejected, he found him strangely endearing. And for some reason, he felt a very good mood, so good that even though he knew he shouldn't, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards into a smile.
However, when Chenxi came to his senses, what he saw was this smile. In this situation, it was hard for Chenxi not to think that the other party was mocking him. Then he instantly got angry, mixed with the grievances of being brutally defeated just now, and stood up and shouted: "Binlan, you play the next round!"
Upon hearing Chen Xi's command, Bin Lan walked over, bowed politely to Chen Xi, and said, "Bin Lan obeys."
Then Binlan smiled slightly at Jia'e and calmly entered the game pod.
Looking at the orange-eyed savage opposite him, Gae couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Of course, it was hard for him not to be nervous, after all, the psychological trauma that Binlan had inflicted on them on their journey here was indelible.
However, Gae quickly calmed down. After all, it was just a game. What could the opponent do? Even if the opponent was more skilled, Gae had gained some confidence in his own skills through previous training and learning. He would just play seriously. At worst, he could learn as he played, just like he had when facing Chenxi before.
However, at this moment, Gae, full of confidence, had no idea what kind of hell he was about to face.
When the new game started, Gae's breathing seemed to stop. He experienced everything: the overwhelming pressure, the lack of any breathing space, the psychological pressure that could break a person, and the helplessness of watching helplessly.
It was the same game as before, but Gae suddenly felt like he couldn't move an inch in this game, and he wasn't even allowed to breathe.
When the defeat appeared before Gae's eyes, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the game time, his pupils suddenly contracted, because the time that had felt so long and oppressive to him was only one-tenth of the time he used to spend in each game.
However, without giving Gae any time to catch his breath, the next game began.
Half an hour later, Binlan looked at the words "Ten-Game Winning Streak" in front of him, smiled slightly on his handsome face, and then gracefully got up and left.
After Binlan left, Jia'e was revealed to be sitting in the game pod, delirious, with an expression that suggested he had been thoroughly humiliated and was questioning his very existence.
