Chapter 31 Insect Man
Su Xiaocai returned to her seat, pulled her chair next to Ji Li, and asked him about the game cooperation plan.

Apart from the few people at the top, he is the most experienced here, and the others are just supporting roles.

Ji Li looks like a Buddhist who doesn't care about anything, but he is, after all, a man from a wealthy family with a profound background.

Before becoming a school doctor, he managed part of the family business.

Su Xiaocai knew that Ji Li had a unique vision for investment. If all the original shares were taken out, it would be no problem to buy twenty Su planets.

"Simply cooperating with other companies to profit from the profits is not suitable for your game."

If it is a small game, selling it or dividing the profits are both good options, and you don’t have to manage it yourself.

The scale of the game is too large. It would be better to set up a new game company and hire people to manage it, rather than becoming a puppet of other shareholders.

As soon as her game comes out, the army and schools will definitely come knocking on her door. Being able to sit under their big tree and enjoy the shade will be good for her as it can help her become part of her network.

"But I have no one." Su Xiaocai was not afraid to tell Ji Li that she had no intention of running a company.

"I know some talented people. If you are interested, you can contact me when the time comes." Ji Li also owns a company. He has been a hands-off boss for a few years because he doesn't know whether he will continue to run the company in the future. He has a list of top talents on hand.

"What a brother." Ji Li was so reliable that Su Xiaocai felt that she could pull him into the same boat. "Why don't you also get a share, so that I can share in your wealth."

"Of course, if you allow me to join in."

A qualified tool was provided by Ji Li, so Su Xiaocai no longer had any worries.

She decided to set up a company, but she only had two days left. If she wanted to promote the game, she would have to wait until the holiday was over.

The holiday is over and she has to go back to school. She only has 2,000 points left. After the scholarship is paid out, she will have a few hundred more points.

She was wondering if she had enough points to handle so many things.

Before they knew it, Princess Wu Qingqing and second-generation rich man Hu Ping couldn't stand it anymore and both begged their father to let them go. "Can we go eat first? We are starving. Snacks won't fill us up."

"It's my fault." President Hu immediately made arrangements. As the host, they could not let Wu Zhaoxiang take the lead again.

"Miss Su, where would you like to eat?" Mr. Hu did not expect that the conversation could last so long. Hu Ping only told him in advance that his schoolmate had a money-making game, and he thought he could just invest in it and buy it.

As a result, the project was too big and even if he spent tens of billions, he might not be able to complete it.

It's so worrying. The bad boy is not as caring as the little cotton-padded jacket. Wu Zhaoxiang's precious daughter must have told him everything before she came to him.

I have to say that Mr. Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang are very similar to some extent. Their children are carefree and don't pay much attention to money, but if they have any good things, they will recommend them to their father.

Other people’s fathers would at most say, this game is fun, buy it.

The father of the two said, this game is good, buy it.

They didn't mention the huge scale of the game at all, because Mr. Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang attached great importance to it and didn't want to miss the opportunity to make money.

Su Xiaocai doesn’t care where she eats, as long as it’s not bad and doesn’t involve pickled crabs.

"I want to eat delicious food. I have never been to this square, so I will go to whichever restaurant I think is delicious." With a "virtuous wife" at home, Mr. Hu seldom goes out for a meal just because a restaurant is delicious.

The question was thrown to Secretary Bai, "Miss Su can try the celebration dishes. They have a history of more than 2,000 years and taste pretty good."

"Is it the kind that is cooked to perfection and comes in a large portion?" Su Xiaocai asked sincerely.

Secretary Bai was stunned. This kid was really down-to-earth. He changed his strategy and said, "Yes, there is a local restaurant with a nice environment nearby. The portions are large, and the chef likes to cook on a high-fire stove. The clay pot soup there is also a specialty."

"That's good, let's go that one."

The dining place is just across the square, and Secretary Bai leads the way.

A group of people walked out of the company building.

Looking up, there were many dazzling light billboards floating in the sky above the square, shining brightly and attracting many people to stop and take pictures.

The world of cyberpunk is full of excitement and joy.

It is completely different from the beauty of Su’s planet, but equally full of vitality.

It was lunchtime, and there was a lot of traffic as students on holiday and workers taking their lunch break gathered there.

When crossing the road, Su Xiaocai was bumped from behind. The man did not apologize, but held down his hat and hurried forward.

"How can you be so polite? You didn't even say sorry after bumping into someone." Wu Qingqing muttered.

Su Xiaocai waved her hand and said it was okay. She stared at the figure for a while until it disappeared from her sight.

She felt that the aura of that person was a little strange, very familiar, yet full of strangeness.

Indescribable.

Secretary Bai took them to a high-end restaurant on the 16th floor of the square for dinner.

The first floor of that place happened to be a large supermarket, and they walked in through the main entrance and saw hundreds of game cabins placed in the hall.

There is also a large screen in the front, playing the driving video of the mecha designed by Xue Huiyi.

People lined up in groups of three or four, including young people and middle-aged people.

The crowd was full of people.

"What are you doing?" they curiously asked a passerby as they passed by.

"The Xue family is holding an event, offering a free trial of the latest model of mecha."

Su Xiaocai was surprised. What a generous move! So many resources were used to promote a mecha.

However, it is really amazing that a mecha can be loved by so many people.

Hu Ping and Wu Qingqing curled their lips at the same time.

Hu Ping simply couldn't stand Xue Huiyi, while Wu Qingqing thought Su Xiaocai was more powerful.

"What's so good about it?" they both asked in unison, earning death stares from the people in the queue.

The two of them immediately put away their disdain and acted like dumb babies.

In fact, this wave of publicity by the Xue family is very interesting.

There was no deliberate attempt to promote Xue Huiyi, but the designer's name was included in the short film, which invisibly increased Xue Huiyi's fame.

I guess even if the Xue family wants to change the heir in the future, they will have to consider the wishes of ordinary people.

There was an endless stream of praise for Xue Huiyi. CEO Hu and Wu Zhaoxiang both sighed, "If there was such an outstanding designer in my factory (company), the mecha would have been produced and sold long ago."

Su Xiaocai: “…”

An excellent mecha designer is very important to a mecha factory.

It’s so important that two CEOs with a net worth of hundreds of billions want to get one.

During the meal, Mr. Hu asked Su Xiaocai what her major was.

"From the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Mr. Hu couldn't swallow his tea and almost choked to death.

His shocked expression was the same as Wu Zhaoxiang's at the beginning. Wu Zhaoxiang handed him a handkerchief and said, "Brother, it's not uncommon for young people to cross-disciplinary majors. There's no need to be so surprised. Farmers who are not game makers are not good farmers. Code farmers are also farmers, of the same nature."

"Shut up, Wu Gou."

Secretary Bai was not as careless as the two bosses Wu Zhaoxiang and Mr. Hu. He asked politely, "Ms. Su, could you please tell us how long it took to make this game?"

"It's not that inconvenient. I've been making games for ten years. When I was five years old, I listened to my father talk a lot about battlefields, so I started building this game."

She couldn't say anything more specific, and who would have thought that artificial intelligence was involved behind the scenes.

There are also projects to build artificial intelligence in this era, and the largest project is in law enforcement.

It is circulated online that the artificial intelligence of law enforcement agencies has become smart enough to find evidence of criminals.

However, the components are large and difficult to move.

Wu Zhaoxiang looked at his daughter, while Mr. Hu looked at Hu Ping.

The two rich second generations still have to ask their families for money to survive. They are almost twenty years old and still spend their time eating and drinking without any pressure in life.

People start thinking about solving social problems at the age of five.

I’m almost twenty years old and still eating and drinking, with no pressure in life.

Hu Ping didn't notice his father's disdainful look.

Mr. Hu had no choice but to pull his face and said, "You are about to graduate. Have you thought about what you want to do in the future? Look at others and learn from them."

"I can't learn it." Hu Ping peeled the shrimp and threw the shrimp meat into his mouth. "The brains are different. If you have the ability, transfer me to the Agricultural Science Academy and I will learn from you."

Mr. Hu was furious: "Even eating can't stop your mouth."

"Didn't you ask me to say this?" Hu Ping complained about his father's contradictory behavior. He wanted his son to be outstanding, but he also didn't want him to suffer. How ridiculous.

Wouldn't his old man feel more at ease if he just let him be a playboy who plays with mechas?

This meal gave the two presidents a heart attack. They ate two extra bowls of rice and their stomachs felt a little bloated.

The lobby on the first floor was packed with people.

All the players who have driven the new mecha had smiles on their faces.

After the meal, the group wanted to take a walk. They didn't want to join the crowd, so they had to leave to the other end. They originally entered from the east gate, but now they needed to go around to the west gate.

Most people went towards the east gate. They went against the flow of people and brushed shoulders with others from time to time.

A sturdy man's arm bumped into Su Xiaocai.

Su Xiaocai looked up, and her heart suddenly felt cold. Her instinct told her to pinch the other person's arm.

It was the man who bumped into her before. Su Xiaocai happened to see that the man's pupils were shrinking, and the whole eyeball was changing, with grid-like patterns appearing on the white of his eyes and a line standing up in his pupil.

"Outsider." Almost at the moment Su Xiaocai spoke, the man shook Su Xiaocai away in panic and turned to run away.

It was difficult to run fast in the crowded downtown area, so the man found another way and went upstairs.

Su Xiaocai ran after him and turned back to tell her classmates, "It's a bug man, call the police."

The discovered insect man fled very quickly. He jumped onto one light board, then leaped onto another, flying through the air like flowing water.

The onlookers only heard the sound of "insect man" and saw two people chasing each other on the street.

The man was strong and powerful, and in a flash he passed over the head and shot out hundreds of meters.

The light signs were pressed like this and bumped around in all directions, one after another, like a domino effect, and all the light signs were knocked aside.

A petite figure was chasing closely behind the man. She stepped on the trash can, other people's roofs and parasols, and ran on an incredible road like a light bird.

Hu Ping, Wu Qingqing and others were stunned.

what's the situation.

Apart from encountering Zergmen in the game, people living on the capital planet may never see them in their entire lives.

Su Xiaocai asked what the insect man meant.

While his teammates were still confused, the reliable Ji Li made a phone call immediately. He did not contact the police, but Major Sun.

Bug people, the police can't handle it.

After listening to Ji Li's words, Major Sun felt it was unbelievable and ridiculous. The capital planet has the most stringent immigration control, and foreign workers must undergo a physical examination before working in a company or store.

How could there be insect people sneaking in?

What if it really happens?
Major Sun had to take action.

It happened that one of the team members was on holiday and was near the square.

Sun Shaoxiao notified the team members to rush over to help, and he told Ji Li, "It may take some time."

Ji Li: "As soon as possible, there are a lot of people here today. If you don't want any casualties, come as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Ji Li called the police and explained what had happened.

The police were not as easy to talk to as Major Sun. They did not know Ji Li. "Sir, there is no way that insect people can appear on the capital planet. Are you sure your friend is not mistaken?"

"You are far from the army. I have already notified the army to support me, but you think that I am trying to lie about such a big thing and make a false report to waste police resources." Ji Li said sarcastically.

The operator blushed and asked him where he was, his name, and his phone number. "Please keep your communicator and keep the signal open. We will contact you later."

"Well, actually I don't count on you. The police are always the last to arrive. It would be better if you find someone who can clean up the mess."

Operator: I see. Isn’t it just about finding someone to take responsibility? She understands.

You know shit.

If a bug man really appears, even the chief superintendent cannot be held responsible.

……

Su Xiaocai and the insect man had been chasing each other for nearly a kilometer, jumping up and down. People who didn't know the situation thought it was a street stunt show.

Only the two of them know the inside story.

They were both risking their lives, one trying to escape, the other trying to chase with his life.

Su Xiaocai stared at the man closely, and calculated several plans for each landing point.

It tests your quick prediction and physical reaction ability.

The distance gradually shortened, and the insect man was right in front of us.

Something strange happened suddenly. For some reason, the two bubble ball cable cars carrying tourists suddenly lost control and accelerated towards Su Xiaocai.

"Ahhhh..." The screams kept coming.

They wanted to change to manual control, but no matter how hard they stepped on the brakes, they wouldn't stop.

"Go away, go away."

The people below were also terrified, fearing that they would be implicated, and they all tried to move away.

Fortunately, the maximum speed of the bubble cable car was only 30 km/h. Su Xiaocai reacted in time, slid sideways, and grabbed the railing of the merchant's balcony alone.

The bubble car hit the sign directly.

There were two loud bangs, and the crowd screamed and fled out in panic.

The bubble car stopped, Su Xiaocai took a glance and saw that the two women in the car were not injured. They were just in shock and crying.

Su Xiaocai hesitated for a moment and distanced herself from the insect man again.

The insect man is about to escape from the square. The terrain outside is more complicated, with alleys extending in all directions. Once it leaves the square, it will definitely escape.

I don't know what will happen after I escape.

Su Xiaocai didn't care about anything else. He took out a piece of metal from the space button and threw it hard at the insect man.

The insect man was hit right on the foot, and he lost his balance for a moment, fell down in mid-air, and lay straight on the ground.

A normal person would lose the ability to move after such a fall.

But it stood up as if nothing had happened. It looked down at the skin on its hands, which had rotted and was peeling off in one piece.

Not only was it rotten, but it was also irreparably damaged. The insect man roared angrily, "Who are you and why are you hindering me?"

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying scene appeared.

The insect man pulled the human skin in half, revealing half of a non-human insect face.

The back began to wriggle and two soft tentacles popped out.

When the tentacles come into contact with the air, a layer of black hard shell forms on the surface, emitting a dangerous smell.

Ding ding dong, the metal that Su Xiaocai had just thrown out also rolled down as the light board moved, and the crisp sound was like a death horn.

The insect man stretched out his tentacles, pulled over a dog nearby, opened his bloody mouth, and bit off the dog's head in one bite.

Blood splattered, he chewed with a sly grin, as if showing off to Su Xiaocai, silently saying: "Look, what can you do to me?"

The children who witnessed the scene were so scared that they burst into tears.

"Insect man, it's an insect man, run."

"Why are there insect people on the capital planet?"

When they heard there were insect people, everyone pushed and shoved and ran out, crowding together.

The atmosphere of fear is contagious. Those who are inside will scream and run away, and those who don't know why will also follow.

The people standing outside the square were stunned, and they were interested in finding out what happened.

Some people even went against the flow of people and tried to squeeze into the center of the incident, making the wide streets suddenly seem cramped.

Ji Li and others took refuge in a bank. The more dangerous the situation was, the more they could not run around. The bank's glass was bulletproof and thick.

Even if it is hit by a sudden external force, it will not fall down and hit people.

The bank's fire protection is also up to standard, and in critical moments, people can leave through the fire escape.

Now they are waiting for the police to arrive.

It was a mess outside. Ji Li sat in a chair in the bank and borrowed Ji Heng's communicator to talk to Major Sun.

Ask about the bug-people pretending to be humans.

"It has never happened before. The Zerg usually gather and attack at the outskirts of the galaxy, and they kill anyone they see. They have low IQs and it is difficult for them to hide themselves." Major Sun's reply seemed not to be a serious matter, but it was actually very bad, because the Zerg's disguise had never been discovered, and no one knew how deep they were hiding.

The military didn’t disclose much information about the Zerg, so Major Sun couldn’t tell Ji Li much: “If Zerg are really found on the capital planet, I’m afraid the entire star region’s population will have to undergo a census. I’ve sent three more soldiers over, so be careful and don’t get too close.”

The call is completed.

Liu Xun: "I don't think Caicai has an exoskeleton, and you can't use mechas in the city center. Will something go wrong?"

The physical fitness of insect people is much stronger than that of ordinary humans, otherwise they would not have to use mechas to fight.

"The master is very powerful." Wu Qingqing is closest to Su Xiaocai.

It was clear that Su Xiaocai acted very plannedly. She was determined to catch up and fight in such a crowded place. She must have her own intentions.

……

Back to Su Xiaocai.

The insect man was ready to start a killing spree. He knew that humans valued their young the most, so the first one he killed would be the child who cried the loudest. It was so annoying.

The tentacles on its back gathered into a spindle shape and pounced straight towards the human cub.

The child's father trembled and hurried to pull him, but the chubby baby just cried and his feet were fixed in place and he couldn't be pulled away.

Father’s love is like a mountain. The child’s father closed his eyes, hugged his child, buried his head, and welcomed death.

The pain did not come. The child's father looked back and saw two long knives blocking his back.

"Run away and don't get in the way here."

Su Xiaocai used the long knife in his hand to block the insect man's sharp claws, preventing the father and son from being killed on the spot.
