Chapter 144 - Mimicry ability

The first choice for the nest bug to mimic is of course a warship, but it is not possible. The nest bug cannot do this at present. Why? This is very simple. The mimicked appearance cannot appear out of thin air. The premise is that the nest bug knows the appearance of the thing it mimics.

The nest bug in the Wordless Heavenly Book has just been born. It is a bit difficult for it to mimic something it has never seen before. Therefore, Su Yu chose a starship as the second best choice. Although the newly born nest bug has never seen a starship, Su Yu has seen it and has had close contact with it many times.

Su Yu can use consciousness to transmit the picture in the memory to the nest bug, so that the nest bug knows the general appearance of the starship, so as to develop the mimicry ability.

After receiving the transmitted memory, the nest bug fell into silence, as if studying the appearance of the starship in the memory fragment. After a long time, it made a soft 'mee' to Su Yu again.

With Su Yu's permission, the nest bug used energy, which was not much, but not little either. Roughly speaking, the energy consumed was about 2 500. Under the operation of this energy, the appearance of the nest bug began to change. First, the color changed from dark red to silver white, then its peculiar shape. All kinds of irregular edges and corners eventually turned into smooth and flowing lines.

More than ten minutes later, above the valley in the Wordless Heavenly Book, the floating dark red fortress had turned into a silver-white starship full of technological beauty. From a certain perspective, you can also see the dark patterns painted around the starship, with a faint blue light.

'The inside of the nest bug will actually change? ' Su Yu found something that surprised him.

At this moment, the internal space of the nest bug has been completely transformed.

Su Yu looked around, felt familiar and strange at the same time. He thought for a moment and suddenly realized that the changed interior space was similar to the Jinbao Pavilion starship that escorted him back to Earth in some places, and similar to Fenyu Xue's private starship in some places.

Jinbao Pavilion's starship was grand and rich, and Fenyu Xue's starship was exquisite and beautiful. These two completely different styles of furnishings were mixed together, there was unexpectedly no sense of disobedience, even a unique sense of luxury and beauty...

'Mee mee mee~' The nest bug made a coquettish sound again, but if you listen carefully, you will find that this time the coquettish sound has changed a little bit compared to before, with a little more flattering, at the same time, there is pride and complacency, just like a child who got full marks in the exam, holding their head high and waiting for their parents' praise.

Just now, the nest bug carefully looked through the memory and found that Su Yu's eyes occasionally stopped on some furnishings in the starship. The thinking of medium-level Zerg is simple and rough. Staring for a long time, it must be that King likes it! Of course, King must have what others have~ If King likes it, he must have it~ For this reason, the nest bug took a little more energy to make internal changes.

Thinking of the end, the nest bug felt guilty. King wouldn't find out, right?

Su Yu didn't notice the nest bug's little thoughts. His attention had been attracted by the changed internal space. It was because he had been in close contact with the original object that Su Yu was even more amazed at the nest bug's mimicry ability. He didn't know how it felt, but just from the outside, it was exactly the same as in his memory.

The consciousness went around the nest bug, satisfying his curiosity about the nest bug. Su Yu retracted the consciousness in the Wordless Heavenly Book. In reality, his body was lying on the bed. He had no tendency to open his eyes and sit up. He still lay with his eyes closed, thinking clearly.

According to his original idea, if he could avoid using the nest bug, he would try not to use it, so as to avoid becoming a target and being attacked by other contestants, which would cause unnecessary trouble. However, after facing the nest bug, Su Yu changed his mind. The nest bug is a very good existence that can deter other contestants, so why should he not use it?

In addition, the advantages of the nest bug is not only defense, but also have the names of 'mobile fortress' and 'Zerg battleship'. Its attack power is also amazing... The premise is that there is enough energy.

Having enough energy is precisely his biggest problem.

Su Yu thought in his heart that he had obtained a large number of energy stones when he returned to the city this time. He originally considered hatching more Zerg species with strong attack power. When the siege began, the advantage would be greater, but now it seems that forget it. The energy needs to be saved for the nest bug.

Energy... Hatching requires energy, nest bug require energy, energy is needed everywhere.

The education he received since childhood made Su Yu unable to agree with the Zerg's invasion even destruction of other civilizations for energy stones, but at this moment he somewhat understood it. The continuation and expansion of the Zerg must consume a large amount of energy stones. This is the first reason.

The second, other Zerg Kings were not taught like Su Yu. Zerg Kings grew up in a barbaric way, and the interstellar world followed the cruel law of the jungle, it eventually became like that.

Understanding is understanding, and disagreement is still disagreement.

Su Yu has no interest in invasion. As for the expansion of the Zerg... the reward for winning the Interstellar Tournament, even if it is not the final grand prize, the reward for the top ranking is enough to satisfy Su Yu's demand for energy stones.

Thinking about things in his heart, and deliberately resting, Su Yu gradually fell asleep.

When the person on the bed breathed evenly, the slender green vines quietly sprang out, groping around on the bed like a thief, then grabbed the corner of the quilt, carefully adjusted the angle, confirmed that the quilt was covered and did not wake up the King. The thief-like green vines shrank back little by little.

[Hai, want to...]

[Hai, I also want to...]

[Hai, don't think about anything you can't think of.]

Su Yu fell asleep. There was no live broadcast to watch. Some of the audience left, and the rest chatted casually in the live broadcast room, chatting with each other, completely treating the live broadcast room as a chat room.

At this time, the sky outside the house had completely darkened. Another day had passed, today was the third day of the game. According to the rules of the game, today was the deadline to join the camp. If not, then...

[Three days have already passed, all contestants who have not joined a city have been eliminated.]

Just as the contestants were guessing and waiting, the system voice sounded from the sky above the endless wasteland and reached the ears of all contestants, letting them know that from today on, all contestants' camps were fixed and the game was truly open.

Waking up the next morning, Su Yu walked on the main road in the city and saw an unexpected person.

"Hi!" A petite figure suddenly jumped out from the hidden corner, making a grimace... no, a flower face[1], the kind of flower face in the literal sense. This contestant who jumped out had a pink flower on her face that was bigger than her face, and on the head of this flower, there was pink hair.

At first glance, this appearance was really weird and scary.

Fortunately, Su Yu was mentally strong. He held down the iron blood vine that wanted to attack and swept his eyes over the person who came. Pink hair? Flower? Among the people he knew, there was only one person who could be related to these two points. It was obvious who this contestant who jumped out was.

Su Yu thought about it and greeted politely.

"Aren't you scared by me ma?" Fenyu Xue took back the flower on her face, feeling a little depressed.

Su Yu was silent. He personally felt that the appearance just now was more weird than scary... like a flower with a wig on its head.

"Okay ba, I should have known your character." Fenyu Xue sighed first, after a few seconds, she became excited again and said, "I joined this city last night! Seeing Northfield... seeing two contestants of the Zerg civilization, I guessed that you might also be in this city!"

Fenyu Xue was very happy. After all, it was a very lucky thing to meet familiar friends in the game map. In addition, there was another thing. Fenyu Xue opened her mouth and asked happily: "Su Yu, are you going to form a team for this game ma?"

As soon as the voice fell, a familiar figure appeared from the end of the street and walked towards Su Yu with a clear goal.

Su Yu and Northfield greeted each other.

"Lord Northfield." Fenyu Xue lost her liveliness just now, shouted a little, and cried silently in her heart. How could she forget that where Su Yu was, there was a high probability of bumping into Northfield.

Seeing Fenyu Xue's restraint, Su Yu asked, "If there is anything, we can talk later."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Fenyu Xue nodded repeatedly and ran away impatiently. When her person ran far away and completely out of the range of Su Yu and Northfield, she suddenly remembered something. Su Yu had not answered team formation just proposed ne!

However... Fenyu Xue's mind flashed Northfield and Menggro. She was silent and laughed dryly in her heart. Forget it, still forget it! Northfield only has a special attitude towards Su Yu. For other people, it's still the same. Just thinking about it, Fenyu Xue felt pressure.

On the other side, Su Yu and Northfield watched Fenyu Xue run away.

Northfield smiled with a little distress: "I am so terrible ma?"

[Fenyu Xue is so real, a true portrayal of ordinary people facing Northfield. I would run too.]

[Lord Northfield, please remove the word 'ma[2]', just four words 'I am so terrible' will do.]

[He's pretending, he's pretending! He's actually...pretending quite well.]

The audience couldn't help but complain, whispering in the barrage.

On the screen, Su Yu thought about this sentence carefully and gave his answer: "Still fine, maybe it's because your ability is relatively strong?" He was also wary of Northfield because of this.

This answer is an alternative compliment and affirmation to Northfield.

A faint smile appeared in Northfield's black eyes.

[Hai, Su Yu was still deceived, sighing with melancholy.]

[No, Su Yu, listen to me, he is only so obedient in front of you!]

[Where is the recording of Northfield's Interstellar Tournament ne, hurry up and bring it to Su Yu!]

The audience was excited, and on the screen, Su Yu and Northfield turned to talk about business.

Three days have passed, and the current contestants have already made their camps clear. In other words, under normal circumstances, no more contestants will come here. If there are any, they must have some bad intentions. Su Yu thinks that it is time to use the three low-level Zergs that he has prepared in his space as the most basic defense.

"I'll go with you." Northfield said.

The identity of the Zerg has been exposed, and Northfield has even seen the Zerg base. There is nothing to hide about the ability of the low-level Zerg, so Su Yu nodded and agreed.

The two walked together and came to the city gate. They refused Menggro's request to follow and left the city.

[1] 花脸 (huā liǎn) = male character in Chinese opera with a painted face

This is not the correct translation, but here we need the literal translation.

[2] 吗 = question particle for "yes-no" questions
