Chapter 1 "Damn it! Are you even human?!"

The Third Legion might have been targeted by the Zerg. Tianma and his senior discovered this after capturing several sneaky Zerg lurking around the outer reaches of the alien sea.

Although these Zerg were tight-lipped and revealed nothing, even resorting to self-destruction to conceal information, their actions only heightened the suspicion.

Tianma wasn't stupid. Now that he had pinpointed the timeline, even if these self-detonating, uncooperative Zerg weren't related to the Third Legion's ambush, he would make sure the connection was established.

Otherwise, how could he warn the Third Legion in advance? His good senior still planned to buy a wedding house there!

So, the matter was "discovered" ahead of schedule.

Tianma and some members of the Sixth Legion secretly supported the Guangyu Star Region. After relaying the message, they stood by in the border area adjacent to the Third Legion.

Originally, he didn't plan to tell anyone about this, but remembering that Chi Yu was practically the only acquaintance he had in the game, he decided to give him a heads-up. Unexpectedly, Chi Yu was the first to stir things up.

Upon receiving Chi Yu's message, Tianma flew into a rage and almost cursed him to death.

"I'm straight! Straight! You dog, have you been eyeing me for a long time? Are you trying to pull this on me?!"

What did he mean by telling his parents that he was his boyfriend?

The words "loss of virtue in old age" flashed through Tianma's mind in an instant, and the string in his head snapped.

"Who isn't straight? Let me finish!"

Even through the screen, Chi Yu could feel Tianma's anger. He felt both annoyed and amused.

Did this guy ever use his brain?

Did he really think Chi Yu would be interested in someone like him?

"Then explain!"

Tianma's tone didn't sound like he was asking for an explanation; it was more like he would punch him twice if he said anything wrong.

"It's just that my parents..."

Chi Yu briefly explained that he wanted his parents to avoid the disaster and the reasons he had given were rejected.

To get them to leave the Guangyu Star Region, he had to come up with an important reason. So he had to lie and say that he had found a boyfriend, but he was very busy right now. His boyfriend had finally taken leave from the Canglan Star Region to come all this way, and he couldn't bear to leave him alone there.

Being pitied Tianma: yue!!

Upon hearing that his son had a boyfriend, his parents immediately agreed, saying that as long as the person didn't mind them, they would definitely keep him company.

"Then you should have found a girl."

After hearing the whole story, Tianma felt that he had overreacted, but he still felt awkward.

"I'd have to know someone first. Have you ever seen any female players from the alien sea in the game? If I had, and they were willing to cooperate, I'd do it."

"No." Tianma shook his head dejectedly. He was not only straight, but also a lonely straight man!

If he knew any sluts, would he introduce them to Chi Yu?

"So that's that? By the way, is it safe where you are now?"

Although he had asked Tianma for help, Chi Yu hesitated when he thought about the role Tianma had obtained. When the fighting started, he might have to join the battle in his position. Was it really safe to leave his parents with him?

"It's okay here, right? After all, we're no longer in the Guangyu Star Region, and we've secretly deployed a group of people here with the Third Legion. If a fight breaks out, we're safer than Haiyuan Star."

"You've already made progress?" Tianma's words revealed a lot of information, but that was why Chi Yu felt even more uneasy. "Since you knew, why didn't I sense anything on Haiyuan Star?"

"We can only be on guard now. After all, we don't have complete information. What if we cause panic among the people if we act too rashly?"

Rarely, Tianma reasoned with Chi Yu, but Chi Yu frowned, seemingly dissatisfied. Seeing his expression, Tianma was curious and smiled in surprise, saying, "You're funny, you know? You're usually so calm, but you're so flustered this time? Are you afraid of dying?"

"Yes, I'm afraid of dying."

Ignoring Tianma, who was stunned by his words, Chi Yu curled his lips. He was not only afraid of dying, but also afraid of other people dying, afraid of those who were good to him dying.

"Ew, ew, ew, you actually smiled! I'm going to be sick!"

Seeing Chi Yu suddenly smile at him, Tianma felt a chill run down his spine.

"You, you're taking this game too seriously, aren't you? You're sending your parents in the game away, but what about yourself? Are you throwing your life away?"

To Tianma's question, Chi Yu simply raised his eyes and glanced at him calmly, finally saying, "What about you? There are so many people in the Sixth Legion, but you, a usually cautious information dealer, have actually rushed to the front lines. That's rare."

"What? That's just how this position is. The seniors are all rushing forward, and I can't stop them. Wouldn't it be OOC if I didn't follow them?"

Tianma's face darkened, and he was still as stubborn as ever, but when he thought of the seniors who usually took good care of him, he couldn't bring himself to retreat to the rear.

"Is that so?"

Chi Yu looked at Tianma's expression, clearly not believing him, but Tianma didn't admit it, and he didn't pursue it.

"My parents... I'm entrusting them to you."

Finally, Chi Yu emphasized the matter again with a very serious expression.

"If you fail, I will catch you when we leave the game!"

He first offered courtesy, then resorted to threats.

"I swear, you're sick!"

……

"The message didn't get sent?"

Mu Chen looked at Mingmei, who was walking behind him after leaving Feng Li's side. Her expression was a bit off.

It should have been good news, but Mingmei didn't look happy at all.

"It was sent."

Mingmei could tell from Mu Chen's expression that he wanted to ask her, so she spoke first: "Guess who just took the news from Feng Li?"

"Who?"

"Ming Song."

Even though it was just a game and Ming Song appeared as an NPC wearing black-rimmed glasses and a mask, Mingmei recognized him at a glance. It was Ming Song's image.

Her nephew!

His courage was as ridiculously great as her brother's!

"Isn't he selling mala tang in the Federation..."

Speaking of selling mala tang, Mingmei's mouth twitched, and Mu Chen couldn't help but smile.

It was quite amusing to talk about such a blatant deception when they both knew the truth.

Then, Mingmei sighed helplessly and rubbed her temples: "I only knew that my older brother was secretly doing these things, but I didn't expect his business to be so extensive. He even has connections in the alien sea. Even if Ming Song's appearance in the game won't be recognized, I still think my uncle is too bold! Is no one going to stop him?"

After saying that, Mingmei paused and fell silent.

It seemed that no one was going to stop him 　_(：3」∠)_

"What about your side?" She didn't want to talk about it anymore. She had to find a chance to talk to her family properly after she left the game.

She was often frightened by the things her family did.

"Yukerian has agreed to meet Feng Li tonight. As for the rest... let's just wait for the final battle with Heck."

Through these two contacts, Mu Chen roughly knew that the incident involving Oulai in reality was closely related to Heck, and Feng Li was probably dissatisfied with how Heck handled it in reality.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted his suggestion in the game to send Heck on his way ahead of schedule.

After conveying the news to the others, including Lu Xiaoyao, everyone had a mix of joy and surprise on their faces after hearing them say that the Zerg were preparing to attack the Guangyu Star Region and that they were going to attack Heck.

"So fast?"

Forgetting the previous boredom and frustration, the crowd suddenly felt a little unreal, as if they were approaching the game's final node.

"By the way, Lu Xiaoyao, where's your brother?"

While everyone was rejoicing, Jian Yunhe noticed that Lu Gui was missing. Originally, Lu Xiaoyao wanted to pout and retort at her because she was here and her brother was unwilling to come, but for no reason, her heart suddenly panicked.

"My brother, my brother seemed to say this morning that someone from Heck was looking for him..."

Calculating the time, Lu Gui had been gone for most of the day, hadn't he?
