Chapter 190 The Fun Begins

When Mingmei boarded the starship bound for the Sixth Legion with her luggage, she remembered what Hu Yue had said the other day—that everyone slept in the starship.

Then, upon entering the starship, Mingmei fell silent, staring at the rows of hibernation pods inside.

Had it already started?

"Huh? These look like game pods."

Lu Xiaoyao brushed past Mingmei and stepped forward, carefully examining the hibernation pods. She vividly remembered the incident at school when they were kept in the dark about catching the zerg.

Seeing these unusual seats, Lu Xiaoyao's alertness instantly rose.

"It seems so."

Mingmei, Mu Chen, and the others also stepped forward to inspect them, confirming that they were indeed game pods.

"It seems they said it was specially provided to prevent us from getting bored on the long journey."

Qi Hai葵 whispered from behind, "Although I think we can treat those words like farts, I already feel a bad omen."

After Qi Hai葵 finished speaking, she looked up and saw Mingmei and the other three standing there, blinking at her.

Qi Hai葵: ?

"You're treating my brother's words like farts? Then aren't you going to fly to the heavens?"

Suddenly, a sinister voice came from behind her, startling Qi Hai葵 so much that she ran forward a few steps without turning her head. Turning back, she saw Hu Yue and Li Yuan standing there.

"I..." Being caught badmouthing someone's brother, Qi Hai葵 was so frightened that she stuttered, wanting to explain but unable to find the words.

Seeing Hu Yue's mocking expression, she simply threw caution to the wind, opened a game pod, and lay down inside.

Everyone: "..."

Suddenly, the game pod opened again, and Qi Hai葵 sat up, taking a deep breath. "No, lying down makes me feel even more dangerous. This game is definitely not a good thing."

Everyone: "..."

There was no need to say such things so openly. Hu Yue's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.

Soon, the matter became a minor episode. After the students who had chosen the Sixth Legion this year gradually arrived, they chatted enthusiastically with each other and forgot the earlier incident.

Everyone was full of longing for the future, except for a few.

The major from the Sixth Legion who came to pick them up on this starship was none other than Major Waldo, who had ripped his clothes on the spot that day and was taken away by the school security.

He exchanged enthusiastic greetings with the students present, and this brother was obviously much more restrained compared to last time.

But sometimes, seeing his lively eyes when he spoke, Mingmei felt that he hadn't quite reined himself in. Perhaps last time was just him exposing his true nature?

"I always feel like he seems very excited..." Sitting in the game pod, Mingmei didn't feel like lying down yet. Mu Chen felt the same way, just watching the other man. Mu Chen's perception of people's emotions was much more acute than Mingmei's.

"The way he is... it's like he's waiting for something good."

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Mingmei was stunned. Waiting for something good?

"We will soon be undergoing a wormhole jump, which will take about a few hours. Why don't you all take this opportunity to lie down and enjoy the game? By the time the game is over, you should have arrived."

There, that didn't need Mu Chen to explain it. Mingmei also heard it.

Good heavens, the real motive was revealed.

"This game was jointly designed by us and Hua Lanxing's Silicon Games Company. It will also be included in the army training program in the future. It's not the same level as what you practiced at school at all. It's super fun!"

Speaking of super fun, Mingmei felt that Waldo was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Obviously, he had already played it and liked it very much.

"Hurry up, hurry up and lie down."

At the end, Waldo even started waving his hands to urge everyone to lie down. Then he suddenly glanced at the optical brain in his hand and said urgently, "There are other schools coming today. We've all agreed to go online at this time. Let's all play together then~"

At the end, this guy's voice even had a bit of an excited vibrato. Good heavens!

The sound waves were too strong, and the flirtatious air was dazzling. Mingmei couldn't help but turn her head to look at Zhen Po, whose muscles were also very developed.

Seeing that he also had a ghostly expression, she knew that she wasn't the only one who hated this.

However, the most wonderful one was still Qi Hai葵, with an expression of "I knew there would be no good things," and he suddenly lay down before everyone could react.

But at this time, Meiren noticed his movements, mainly because of Waldo's expression. Everyone seemed to realize that they had been tricked and were momentarily confused.

Everyone: Really, do we have to lie down?

Perhaps seeing that everyone's reaction was very hesitant, Waldo added fuel to the fire and said, "The number of roles inside is limited. The earlier you enter, the earlier you can choose, you know? Otherwise, you won't have any choice left, and that would be terrible~"

Mingmei saw through the other party's thoughts and wanted to scoff. She thought the other party's reaction was too childish, but after he finished speaking, he directly darted into the game pod and took the lead in demonstrating what "first come, first served" meant.

How could the others dare not be active now?

This trick was old-fashioned, but the effect was very obvious!

Mingmei could see with her own eyes that everyone around her had lay down inside, and she had to hurry up and lie down as well. While lying down, Mingmei couldn't help but mutter to Guigui, "Can I sell boxed lunches in there?"

[Yan, the box lunch survival game is being developed. This one for new recruits doesn't have a dedicated NPC yet.]

Mingmei: ...

The more she heard, the more outrageous this game seemed.

Then, after going in, Mingmei realized that the outrageousness was even further behind.

[Welcome players to the game "Bug Big Escape". May I ask what kind of bug you want to be? There are currently three types to choose from: Pseudo-Mother, Thousand-Eyed Bug, and Black Armored Bug.

According to your mental strength assessment, you can choose advanced bugs and above~]

Mingmei: ???

What the heck!?

What kind of game is this? She has to play a zerg?

Why?

Mingmei looked at the human soldier option on the character selection interface, which was grayed out, and her pupils shook.

"Who chose the human soldier?"

Mingmei's throat was a little dry, and she felt that she didn't even need to ask this question. Thinking of Waldo's expression just now, coupled with his active energy, Mingmei originally thought he was just trying to create a sense of tension for everyone.

As a result—

Mingmei took a deep breath and directly chose a Black Armored Bug general to enter the game.

Sigh~

This was the most resistant bug she knew of. She would run if she could after entering.

So, as soon as Mingmei entered, there was a roar beside her, "Why!!!"

Oh ho!?

Hearing this voice, Mingmei turned her head and saw a very agile Starflame Bug standing beside her. The Starflame Bug, which was much larger than the Black Armored Bug's main body, was jumping around there.

"Which grandson moved so fast and took the human race?!"

How did he, Waldo, become a bug again?!
