Wanqi Siling
Chapter 249 Feeling Appreciated
Originally, with the sturdy belly of the Fei Nang (Flying Sac), everyone had planned a "stewed bug in an iron pot" or "bug in the belly" type of feast to ensure those bugs would "die in the womb."
But unexpectedly, the bug eggs in its belly had already hatched and were now preparing to break out and become "butterflies" themselves.
"Who told you to hit the belly so hard?!"
"How can you blame us? Isn't it its own belly that's fragile?"
"Fragile? How many Po Xing (Star-Breaking) missiles did it eat without saying anything?"
"Hey, hey, hey! You were the ones who told us to try shooting Po Xing missiles earlier, and now you want to pass the buck? How many of those attacks were from our dual mecha among so many attacks?"
"But the attack power of your Po Xing missile is much higher than our single mecha's ordinary attack, okay?"
"So you're weak, so you're justified? Trash!"
"Who are you calling trash?!"
Faced with the visible cracks already appearing on the Fei Nang's belly, Mingmei even felt like she could see the eyes of the bugs inside already open, looking out at the world, wanting to see who had just attacked them, and aiming for their target as soon as they came out!
It was clearly a hellish scene, but not many players cared. Everyone was still arguing on the public channel.
Mingmei didn't know why, but she felt extremely irritable at this moment and really wanted to curse!
A bunch of idiots, that's what they were!
[Host, detecting abnormal emotional fluctuations. Do you need a check?]
Just as Mingmei was about to grab the microphone and join the cursing, Guigui suddenly spoke up to stop her.
"Ah, check, check it out."
Reminded by Guigui, Mingmei naturally realized that her temper was a bit off today. Suppressing her inner irritability, she had Guigui check.
[Host, after testing, it should be a setting in the game that amplifies the emotional sensitivity of all players, commonly known as "hair trigger."]
Mingmei: ??
Why did her uncle always like to come up with hellish things?
So annoying!
But Mingmei felt that if she really got angry and showed it, she would be falling into her uncle's trap.
She even had reason to suspect that her uncle could see everything in this game.
Looking at the stupid appearance of everyone losing control of their emotions!
In the end, Mingmei thought so, and after holding it in for a long time, squeezed out a very distorted expression that vaguely resembled a smile, while constantly hypnotizing herself, "Hehe, I'm not angry~ Mingmei is not angry~"
Guigui: [...]
If the emotional detection device in the background hadn't triggered an alarm, it might have actually believed her.
And Yan Hui, who happened to have selected the monitoring screen of his niece, burst out laughing instantly.
"She must be so angry~ Ah, hahaha!"
Ruan Xun looked at the twisted expression of Mingmei that Yan Hui had screenshotted, and remembering the purpose of Yan Hui's screenshots, his eyes twitched slightly as he echoed, "Indeed, the expression vividly reflects her current mood."
Then, Ruan Xun's gaze curiously fell on Muchen's screen, and seeing that the other party remained expressionless, his eyes without any fluctuation, he couldn't help but praised, "Muchen's temper is really good~"
"Is that so? I thought you were being sarcastic~"
"How could I be? I'm being sincere."
Yan Hui heard him praise Muchen, and also curiously looked at Muchen's screen, then stared at the seemingly static non-static picture, and silently said, "Oh, his temper has indeed been very good recently."
"So you're saying his temper used to be very bad?"
Ruan Xun raised his eyebrows. He only knew of Muchen's existence in the last decade or so.
Although Muchen who appeared before him at that time was a child, his smile was innocent and lovely, but as Ruan Xun, who had played the role of a fake child countless times, could naturally see through the hypocrisy and indifference in his smile at a glance.
However, when they met again, he noticed that the discordant aura on Muchen had diminished a lot.
"Not really, I don't think he's ever really been bad-tempered in private, has he?"
Yan Hui narrowed his eyes, recalling the first time he met Muchen, and added, "Maybe he was bad-tempered when he was young, during puberty, everyone has that~ Now that he's old, he should also know that being bad-tempered is useless, anyway, you won't get anything, so you might as well restrain your temper and learn to be a normal person..."
"You're older than him, how can you say he's old?"
Ruan Xun was too tired to complain, but he noticed that Yan Hui actually linked the words bad-tempered and being a normal person together.
"Speaking of which, normal people also have bad tempers."
Ruan Xun said meaningfully, his eyes meeting Yan Hui's, who happened to hear the problem in his words, and saw him curl his lips and say, "Ah... maybe my description was a little mild~"
…
Just as Mingmei was trying to calm her irritable emotions, a huge change occurred on the field again—the players' activity area shrank again!
It had to be said that her uncle had a firm grasp on the players' emotions!
Just as everyone was retreating and passing the buck, the boundary line of the battlefield actually shrank again, forcing the players to immediately face the mess they had made earlier, without giving them time to retreat and rethink.
The boundary line of the field was like an invisible big hand pushing the players back to the Fei Nang bug again.
But some players had retreated too quickly, and as a result, they were eliminated when the boundary line suddenly shrank.
Hilarious, dying without knowing why! This included Li Yuan, whom Hu Yue had been thinking about.
Hu Yue, who was completely unaware of this, continued to fight with other players on the public channel.
Bai Xiao, as Hu Yue's best friend, never thought that her best friend actually had the potential to be a troll. Similarly, she never thought that she would one day do something so impulsive.
Just now, she had judged from various details that the mecha beside her was trolling Lu Xiaoyao on the public channel, and she couldn't help but take action!
Bai Xiao only felt very fortunate that Lu Xiaoyao didn't turn on the live broadcast in this round~ Otherwise, she would have been completely embarrassed, orz.
At the moment, the Fei Nang bug had completely lost its breath, and some of the bugs were no longer satisfied with crawling out of its abdomen, but were directly crawling out of the Fei Nang bug's head that had been shattered by the players.
The first Zerg to crawl out had its mouthparts still stained with the unknown organ fragments and debris from the Fei Nang bug's body. As soon as it emerged, it saw an attack suddenly flying towards its head!
However, its reaction was very quick. It not only dodged the attack but also accelerated its speed of crawling out!
"This guy's reaction speed is very strong, please pay attention, players."
It was Muchen who launched the attack on the emerging Zerg. His reminder was unusually prominent in the chaotic and noisy public channel.
Some players with quick reactions also launched attacks on the Zerg that had crawled out halfway.
But as Muchen said, the other party's reaction was really absolute, and all the attacks were dodged.
With this Zerg that took the lead, the Zerg that came out later was actually the famous Qian Mu (Thousand-Eyed) Bug.
The Qian Mu Bug's body was very long, with countless reddish-brown segments pieced together. Each segment had flexible moving feet. If it weren't for the fact that each segment had a pair of eyes with excellent vision, the Zerg's name might as well have been called Qian Zu (Thousand-Legged) Bug.
As it crawled out, the sound of countless legs crunching and stirring made the players on the scene's scalps tingle!
"How the hell has this bug been crawling for several minutes and still hasn't finished crawling out?!"
Although the Zerg with the speed advantage just now was difficult to deal with, it was quickly surrounded and solved by several nearby players after it came out.
There was also a way to deal with the Qian Mu Bug in front of them.
The Qian Mu Bug's defense was actually not strong. Any B-grade or higher mecha could break through it with a full-strength attack.
But it was difficult to kill it. Even if the Qian Mu Bug's body was broken into several pieces, it could still live for a long time and continue its duty—to provide vision and monitoring for other Zerg.
Therefore, the players could only wait until the Qian Mu Bug had completely crawled out, formed a ball, and entered the Qian Mu Bug's real working state, then burn the entire ball with high temperature to completely destroy it.
So, after the Qian Mu Bug crawled out with the disgusting sounds that oppressed the players, the players were hit by another visual shock, a "fluffy" ball covered with eyes, flashing brightly.
Players: I've been thanked!
