Qin Jun stood in the kitchen and seemed to be processing Zerg meat, but his hands went into his pocket from time to time.
He felt that the thing that was originally the size of a watermelon seed was rapidly expanding until it reached the size of a quail egg. This growth rate was as scary as a balloon.
“What are you doing?” A hoarse voice asked suddenly from behind.
Qin Jun suddenly turned around and saw the NPC on their spaceship staring at him coldly.
“I plan to make Zerg meat for everyone to eat.” Qin Jun took his hand out of his pocket.
“You have a strong smell of Zergs.” The NPC took a step closer, his dark eyes rolled, and his eyes fell on Qin Jun’s crew uniform dyed green by the Zerg blood.
Qin Jun quickly turned sideways, tensed his body, picked up the kitchen knife, and chopped it directly on the thick Zerg shell. The next second, the Zerg shell was intact, but a gap appeared in the kitchen knife.
“Use this.” Mo Zheng took out the laser cutting machine from the weapons warehouse. After seeing the NPC standing in the kitchen paying attention to their players’ behavior for the first time, he felt that this idea was right.
Qin Jun took the laser cutting machine and whispered thank you.
Gu Tunan and other teammates also walked to the kitchen door to watch. A group of alphas who knew nothing about cooking gathered around to watch Qin Jun cook.
Qin Jun rinsed the Zerg meat with water. He endured the disgusting feel and appearance of the Zerg meat, pinched the Zerg meat and put it directly into the pot. He had no idea of adding seasonings to remove the smell, let alone blanching it in water first to remove the smell. He planned to put the Zerg meat first and then the oil. Halfway through the frying, he remembered to add some salt.
Soon the plate of Zerg meat came out of the pot, and the smell of it made people lose their appetite. Qin Jun gritted his teeth and brought the plate of Zerg meat to the NPC.
The NPC frowned, and wanted to turn around and leave, but a group of tall alphas blocked the door. The leader, Gu Tunan, said: “Senior, please take a bite.” The other alphas nodded, and most of them refused to let the NPC go unless he took a bite.
Barrage: “…” If I hadn’t known in advance that you planned to please the NPC, this scene would really look like a bully player bullying a good NPC!
Under the watchful eyes of all the alphas, the NPC was forced to take a bite of Zerg meat. The moment it entered the mouth, the NPC made a sound of retching.
At the same time, except for Qin Jun, all players on the spaceship received “Ding– NPC Yu Hui’s favorability towards you is -1.”
Qin Jun’s favorability was directly deducted by 5 points.
Gu Tunan silently made way for the livid-faced NPC. He opened the points ranking list with some melancholy. He saw that he and Xie Ruheng were ranked first on the list. But the next second, he saw Xie Ruheng change from the original position. His five points turned into six points, and Gu Tunan was kicked down.
….
“Ding – the Zerg meat you cooked was recognized by the NPC, Lao Kang’s favor is 1, and you learned new skills in cooking through your own exploration, and the points are 1.”
A fierce-looking old man alpha ate Xie Ruheng’s cooking with an expressionless expression. There were no words of praise for the Zerg meat. If it weren’t for the system’s beep, Xie Ruheng wouldn’t have known that the other party had approved the Zerg meat he made.
Next, the old man took a piece of Zerg meat made by Tang Bai. The moment he put it into his mouth, every ravine on Lao Kang’s face seemed to be filled with the healing effects of food.
“Ding – the Zerg meat you cooked was approved by the NPC, Lao Kang has a good impression +2.” Lao Kang looked at Tang Bai with his sharp eyes, and he said in an unquestionable tone: “You are an omega, not suitable for spaceship maintenance work, you should become a chef in the future.”
The whole place was silent.
The barrage also became quiet at this moment.
Tang Bai’s expression remained unchanged and he said: “Why isn’t spaceship maintenance suitable for Omega? Sir Captain, I can not only repair spaceships, but also pilot them.”
Tang Bai took the spaceship pilot’s license a few years ago.
“Absurd.” The old captain obviously didn’t believe it: “How can you, an omega, fly a spaceship?”
“A mecha builder who doesn’t know how to fly a spaceship is not a good one.” Tang Bai said seriously: “How about I fly it for you?”
Tang Bai’s expression was calm and his waist was straight, exuding a strong self-confidence. Lao Kang, who originally wanted to refuse, hesitated for some reason, and led Tang Bai to the cockpit as if he was fascinated.
Lu En’s figure sat on the large captain’s chair. The spacecraft was in automatic navigation mode at this time, and Lu En was responsible for monitoring the flight status of the spacecraft.
Seeing Lao Kang and Tang Bai appear here, Lu En’s lazy face showed a bit of confusion. After seeing Lao Kang’s next move, Lu En’s confusion became even more intense.
“Tell me what these buttons do.” Lao Kang asked.
The civilization background of the game was higher than that of real civilization. Logically speaking, Tang Bai shouldn’t know the buttons of these spaceships, but this game was designed by teachers from the Federal Military Academy. Although the design of the spaceship was avant-garde, the framework of the operating system was not much different from that of spaceships in reality.
“This lever is the start button, this is the speed adjustment button, this is the star map coordinate button…” Tang Bai relied on his own knowledge to introduce the basic buttons on the console one by one. Although he didn’t know about the more detailed buttons but being able to introduce the functions of these dozen buttons was enough to show that he had a certain understanding of the spacecraft.
“Lu En, come out, you, sit on it and try it.” Lao Kang said solemnly.
Driving a spaceship tested the driver’s judgment, control, endurance and other comprehensive abilities. Excellent pilots could not be replaced by optical brains.
Because the optical brain could only analyze the best navigation route based on the detected data, but experienced pilots could perceive subtle changes in the spacecraft’s navigation in the universe through neural links and make predictions based on their own instincts.
In order to save energy expenses, Lao Kang would turn off the energy-intensive autopilot mode on the spacecraft and rely on his own experience to navigate.
Only a few pilots could sail without the help of the optical brain. Even Lu En was not very sure. Now that the spacecraft was traveling on a safety belt, there was not much danger. Lao Kang wanted to see how far this omega could do it.
Tang Bai put on the driving helmet full of neural connection points and held the operating lever with his beautiful hands.
“These operation keys are unique to Discovery. Let me tell you…” Lao Kang explained to Tang Bai in detail. After confirming that Tang Bai understood everything, Lao Kang said seriously: “Next. I will switch from the autopilot mode to the manual mode. If you do not perform well, I will switch back to the autopilot mode immediately.”
Tang Bai nodded seriously with a small face. When the spacecraft turned into the manual mode, the feeling of weightlessness in the universe passed through the nerves. All the links were conveyed to his body, which was a familiar feeling to him. Everything he saw became a panoramic view of the spacecraft, and the vast universe was unobstructed before his eyes.
The dizziness caused by this change of vision could easily make a newcomer pilot a spaceship vomit for the first time, but Tang Bai was not a newbie.
When Tang Bai was very young, Grandpa Tang would personally design a series of enlightening mini-games for Tang Bai. Among them, “Small Spaceship Adventures” could simulate an extremely realistic sailing experience. Those boring spaceship knowledge were carefully taught by Grandpa Tang. So, the designed game had also become interesting. Grandpa Tang had also built a children’s spaceship and taken Tang Bai to visit the real giant spaceship… Tang Bai’s slender fingers move quickly on the dense buttons, almost as if Tang Bai was showing off his skills. Under his control, the round spacecraft shuttled through space in a perfect straight line without any bumps.
Don’t underestimate the difficulty of straight-line navigation. The driving trajectory left by a normal driver would always have some jitters. That’s because the environment in space was not as stable as the ground. Some novices could even make the spacecraft rotate while operating.
“Alert! There is an obstacle ahead!” The optical brain’s alarm sounded. Before the optical brain could say the best deviation route, Tang Bai waited for the spacecraft to deviate slightly, and easily avoided the small star with a smooth curve.
[Boss, please take my knees! This is a magical operation that only talented players can do!]
[At Tang Bai’s level, even in the spaceship operation department, he is a god of learning]
[What else can Tang Bai not do? Admired]
[The NPCs seemed to be stunned]
Lao Kang couldn’t believe what he saw. Such an agile driving style was actually displayed by an omega?!
After Tang Bai had been driving for ten minutes, Lao Kang adjusted the setting to automatic driving, and Tang Bai also heard the system prompt: “Your spaceship driving skills are recognized by the NPC, Lao Kang’s favorability is 1, you have learned a new skill Spaceship driving, 1 point.”
“Who taught you to fly a spaceship?” Lao Kang couldn’t hide his excitement in his tone.
“My grandpa.” Tang Bai answered truthfully: “When I was a child, my grandpa would design some small games for me related to flying spaceships. When I grew up, my father bought a private spaceship for me, and even hired a personal trainer for me.”
[Talent flow plus krypton gold, sorry to bother you]
[Can the mini-game developed by Mr. Tang be released?]
“Your grandfather cultivated your talent in this area?” Lao Kang was stunned.
He also had an omega grandson, and when that child was still ignorant, he had already chosen the other’s path.
Tang Bai nodded.
Lao Kang looked at Tang Bai with complicated eyes. After a long time, he sighed, “I am too narrow-minded. Your talent should not be wasted in the kitchen. Flying spaceships and conquering the stars is what you should do.”
Then he heard Tang Bai say softly: “Sir Captain, I like flying the spaceship, but I’m also very interested in the position of chef you mentioned before~”
On the other side, Gu Tunan and his group were sitting together to discuss strategy.
“It is currently known that you can earn points by doing daily tasks. For example, mecha builders can repair loopholes on the spacecraft.” Mo Zheng said.
“If you know how to fly a spaceship in reality, you can show your spaceship driving skills in front of NPCs, and you can also earn points.” Bai Li said.
“Is there any other way to get points?” Gu Tunan looked at everyone.
“Well, I think killing the Zergs is the easiest way to get points.” The silent Qin Jun suddenly said: “We can let the NPC fly the spaceship to places where the Zergs may appear. As long as we can hit the small Zergs, a lot of points can be harvested at once.”
After this idea was raised, Gu Tunan and others thought it was feasible after discussion.
Qin Jun put his hand into his pocket quietly, trying to comfort the thing that got excited after hearing everyone’s agreement.
