Chapter 1 Our Goal is Obviously to Beat the Game

“Our goal is obviously to beat the game.”

Noticing the quiet and awkward atmosphere after Lu Xiaoyao asked her question, Lu Gui suddenly laughed to defuse the situation.

As soon as Lu Gui finished speaking, laughter echoed through the communication channel.

Lu Gui’s answer was perfect!

Their goal – to beat the game!

“But…”

Hearing that Lu Xiaoyao still had something to say, Lu Gui had already pushed the accelerator in his hand and said, “Let’s go!”

As if afraid that Lu Xiaoyao would say something else, Lu Gui took action, and the others moved as well.

Soon, the six mechs disappeared from their original positions, flying at high speed into outer space…

“This is the real Black Beetle?”

The full view of the Black Beetle, presented in its original size without shrinking, was astonishingly large in front of the players.

At least, the size of the Black Beetle Queen was almost as large as the planet behind them. For some reason, the players suddenly remembered Chef God’s evaluation of the Black Beetle Queen – truly useless!

Such a big body, and only that tiny bit is edible _(：3」∠)_

Especially when compared to the dozen-meter-high mechs, the massive Bug Queen seemed extremely small.

In response, Zhen Po muttered in a low voice that he would definitely order a large mech when he made money in the future.

The other players didn’t comment on this.

However, when they realized what they had just thought, the players slandered themselves for being too arrogant.

They didn't even look at the dark, mountain-like Black Beetles floating beside the Black Beetle Queen, all of which were insect generals.

Their defense was perverted, and they were very good at fighting!

Moreover, in the dark universe behind them, there was a dense, continuous Black Beetle legion, faintly reflecting starlight from elsewhere.

Tens of thousands of Black Beetles were ready to attack, just waiting for the players to approach and launch an offensive.

Scalp tingling, deterred!

“Can… can we change direction and break through?”

Yuan Fang and the Zhen brothers stared nervously at the Black Beetles in front of them, whose defense was abnormally strong, their muscles tensing up subconsciously.

Although their previous discussions concluded that coming out this way was the best plan, at least there was still somewhere to set foot after coming out of this area. .oΓg

“Next to the Black Beetles are the Thousand-Eyed Bug Clan and its Bug Queen. After training and selection, the most outstanding ones will be selected to guard the Emperor Bug Queen, undertaking combat and reconnaissance roles in battle. That part is what we often call the scout bugs.”

At this time, Lou Jia had to mention the types of insect clans on both sides of the Black Beetle Legion.

Hearing the words “scout bugs,” Mingmei turned her head suddenly, her eyes meeting the other party’s gaze.

They remembered fighting them in *Blood Pre-War*.

“Emperor Bug Queen…”

After playing *Blood Pre-War*, Mingmei had crammed a lot of knowledge about insect clans, including but not limited to the fact that the Bug Queen that appeared in the insect clan legions when launching a large-scale battle was named the Emperor Bug Queen.

Compared to Black Beetle Queens and Thousand-Eyed Bug Queens, these Bug Queens with specific insect clan names were born to breed more insects.

As for the Emperor Bug Queen, it would only give birth to less than ten Emperor Bugs in its lifetime, and finally select one to be the Emperor Bug Queen.

The Emperor Bug Queen’s duty was not to reproduce but to lead all insect clans in battle, invasion, and destruction, acting as the commander-in-chief in war.

The Bug Queen that her brother killed back then was not the Emperor Bug Queen, but a certain kind of Bug Queen used to produce a large number of insects.

“However, there shouldn’t be an Emperor Bug Queen in the game design.” Lou Jia carefully zoomed in on the three-dimensional interstellar map, examined the distribution of the insect clans, and confirmed, “In places where Emperor Bug Queens appear, different kinds of insects will be mixed together. According to the needs and arrangements of the Emperor Bug Queen, a fully functional and diverse insect clan army will be formed.

Obviously, that doesn’t exist in the game. These different-colored insect clans are intertwined, so don’t worry~ However, even ordinary Thousand-Eyed Bugs have keen insight that A-level mechs can’t hide from even in stealth mode.”

After listening for a long time, everyone understood that they wanted to quietly pass through the strongest insect clan force at the front, and that they had to sneak past the Xingyan Bugs, the neighbors on the other side of the Black Beetles.

Also, Mingmei had heard of them – the Xingyan Bugs.

Thanks to *Blood Pre-War*, Mingmei knew a bunch of strange bugs, such as the Xingyan Bug; she remembered the potion used to poison Xia He clearly.

Xingyan Bug body fluid: high temperature, highly toxic.

Opening the mechs’ “stealth” mode, all the mechs were covered with a layer of light gray light film, and they officially started their operation.

The entire communication channel was extremely quiet throughout the process. Even Lu Xiaoyao closed her lips tightly, paying attention to the changes around her with a look of tension on her face.

In the dark universe, densely packed insect clans kept passing by, and this scene seemed familiar.

Her face gradually turned pale. Turning her head, she looked at the shrinking, blurred planet behind her through the view provided by the mech. It seemed as if someone was still telling her in her ear – “Don’t look back.”

“Don’t look back.”

The next second, Lu Gui suddenly said the exact same words as in her memory. He freed up one hand to block Lu Xiaoyao’s sight, and said in a gentle and reassuring tone: “Everything is over, Xiaoyao. Now, we are in the game.”

“Yeah…”

Lu Xiaoyao, her voice trembling, sniffed hard. When her vision returned, Lu Gui had already continued to stare straight ahead, driving the mech and paying attention to the movements of the others.

“Everyone, put in more effort. In five minutes, we’ll be…”

Lou Jia was about to open her mouth to encourage everyone, but suddenly saw a fiery red light shooting from their side!

“Scatter!”

In order to avoid the suddenly flying red light, the six mechs immediately removed their camouflage and instantly pulled their accelerators to the maximum, leaving their original positions!

Unexpectedly, because it didn’t hit its target, the red light actually smashed straight into the Black Beetle legion behind the Black Beetle Queen.

With a “boom,” the red light smashed into the Black Beetle legion, and the instantly exploding red light directly penetrated a Black Beetle’s shell in the astonished eyes of the players!

“Holy crap!”

The expressions on the players’ faces instantly became very interesting. Fortunately, this thing didn’t hit them!

It’s just that the red light falling into the Black Beetle legion was like someone who wanted to eat chicken suddenly rushing into a chicken coop!

When the Black Beetles reacted and realized that they had been “beaten,” all they could capture in their field of vision were these human mechs not far away from them.

Black Beetles: %￥#@#@ (pointing!)

Players: …

Well, they’ve been discovered, haven’t they?

“Run! Gather at the marked point!”

Suddenly, a marked point location created by Lou Jia appeared on the interstellar map in front of all the players. Then, attacks came from all directions, instantly scattering the team of six…
