The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead - Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Chapter 262 Not a Small Flaw

Nian Shutong perfectly exemplified the idea of getting the ugly talk out of the way first, and Fu Yunhe really did feel a bit apprehensive and chilled to the bone.

Nevertheless, he stiffened his resolve and said, “It’s fine. If anything breaks, it’s on me.”

“It was yours to begin with, I’m just doing a good deed.”

This time, the two kept some distance from the creek, settling on a flat area with no other buildings nearby, mainly out of fear that they might recreate the last disaster and damage something.

The two sat face to face, and Nian Shutong logged into the game, her expression a mix of odd and amusing as she asked, “Have you chosen the Insect Race?”

“Right, you can pick.”

Fu Yunhe simply lowered his head and continued to sort out his own game, what he didn’t say was that Nian Shutong was the only person in the entire game that could select the Insect Race.

Unaware of this, the Nian Shutong across from him really did want to pick the Insect Race, just for the fun of it.

[Choose the Insect Race, identity confirmation.]

Confirm.

Nian Shutong’s identity was established as a tiny member of the Insect Race, and she asked in confusion, “Can this bug of mine level up?”

“Yes, as long as you defeat humans, you can level up.”

“Not bad, not bad.”

Nian Shutong linked to the virtual world, and Fu Yunhe did likewise, both entering the game simultaneously.

Due to their different roles, their landing spots in the game were also vastly different.

Fu Yunhe remained dressed as a young soldier, waiting a while before remembering that Nian Shutong was now part of the Insect Race, hidden amongst millions of others.

And he had no clue what this particular member of the Insect Race looked like, which meant, even if they met, he wouldn’t recognize her.

How was he supposed to play this?

He didn’t have time to ponder, as the game began.

A swarm of the Insect Race charged at him, he took a serious look, then gave up. He had no clue where to start and decided to start fighting first.

The battle had already started on his side, while Nian Shutong was still getting used to her new identity.

Nian Shutong was transported into a bug nest, looking around at the Insect Race members who all resembled her, they lay quietly in the nest, seemingly waiting for their prey to come to them.

Most of the Insect Race were programmed characters, not operated by players, lacking a bit in flexibility.

If anyone could see it, they would witness a rather bizarre scene.

One of the bugs in the nest struggled outwards, scraping left and scraping right, trying to get out.

After it emerged, it stood at the front and began to exercise.

Drawing from her previous experience, this time Nian Shutong decided to go for pure physical strength.

Thus, a bug outside its nest practiced boxing.

The spectacle was as bizarre as they come.

A squad of small soldiers, five men grouped up and found the Insect Race nest, preparing for an assault.

The leader signaled with his hand, and the others quickly concealed themselves.

Eyes communicating swiftly, the leader pointed to a staggering bug up ahead and whispered, “What’s up with that bug?”

The men looked over, and one of them said earnestly, “It might be glitching.”

“Probably, let’s leave it be for now, or the game might crash.”

“Can’t let the game crash. It took us so long to find this nest. After this round, I can level up.”

“Let’s get around it.”

“Okay.”

“Got it.”

After discussing, one stayed behind, getting into position, his role being that of a sniper.

The other four men, three in front carrying guns and knives, plus one with Miniature Mecha gauntlets, followed by a man acting as a medic ready for rapid support.

Right as the four approached Nian Shutong, she was musing on the chance of fighting so soon upon arrival.

At that moment, she appeared as an Insect Race creature resembling a millipede, many legs posed as if they were fists.

The sight convinced the approaching soldiers that they were definitely dealing with a glitch.

They walked past Nian Shutong without so much as a glance.

They… went by.

Left behind was a centipede Nian Shutong, fist clenched and ready to attack, a bit stupefied.

Could they know she was a Human in disguise?

She turned around, watching those four people execute a flurry of slashes and sweeping gunfire. Despite the Insect Race’s valiant resistance, they were no match for their opponents.

From a distance, the sniper looking through their scope would occasionally take a follow-up shot to pick off any stragglers and save teammates.

In the scope’s display, the glitched centipede casually sat at the doorway, watching its teammates battle the Insect Race fiercely.

The centipede outside occasionally nodded as if evaluating the situation.

Could this be a hidden boss?

Not a glitch?

Just as he couldn’t figure it out, the four inside finished their kill.

Covered in blood, they walked out and stopped when they passed by Nian Shutong.

The four of them surrounded Nian Shutong in the middle, starting to discuss.

“Not killing it wouldn’t count as completing the mission, right?”

“But what if killing it crashes the game?”

“It should be fine, right? We can’t just leave it.”

Sitting on the ground, Nian Shutong listened to their conversation.

Well, it had been years since someone discussed her fate like this; it was quite refreshing.

Finally, they reached a decision. One person raised their gun, thinking a single shot would do the trick.

But at that moment, the insect moved.

A regular centipede attacks mainly with its bulky body, occasionally using some of its front legs.

But what’s with this centipede?

For a moment, it seemed as if a thousand blades flashed before them–why did every leg wield a knife?

Using knives, Nian Shutong was definitely professional.

This time, she completely gave up using Spiritual Power and engaged in close combat.

With her rich combat experience, Nian Shutong used the bodies of the four to shield herself from the sniper’s sight outside while attacking them.

The medic fell first, he didn’t understand what had happened before he was killed.

When he left the game, he had only one thought: can the Insect Race now learn Body Technique?

His three teammates couldn’t hold on much longer; they died in quick succession, just seconds apart, leaving only the sniper.

Seeing the situation deteriorating, the sniper tried to aim, but the cunning insect knew to use its teammates as shields.

As he continued to aim, a barrage of blades swept across from the opposite side.

Nian Shutong detached her legs.

Her Divine Sense split into countless fine threads, each controlling a leg, flying towards the sniper.

The sniper only felt knives closing in from all directions, leaving him with nowhere to escape.

“Ah——”

An unwilling roar echoed through the sky.

It was not just frustration but confusion.

What was going on?

What kind of Insect Race is this? Not only did it practice Body Technique, but it also had the ability to manipulate with spiritual power.

Nian Shutong didn’t know about these questions; all she knew was she had won the fight.

Feeling pleased, Nian Shutong started to like this game a bit, although she wasn’t very fond of the insect’s body.

She planned to switch and play again.

She wanted to become the most powerful Insect Race.

At this moment, the biggest loophole in the game emerged.
