Apart from the fresh fun that can be experienced at the beginning of ignorance, now there are only disputes and fighting that cannot be stopped after becoming proficient.
Moreover, making friends in such a gunpowder-filled war RTS game is a bit too dreamy.
While his classmates were experiencing joy and laughter in other games, he could only control the insect swarm invincible in the virtual universe by himself.
They fought until they found few opponents.
The feeling of loneliness after becoming invincible immediately hit me.
Just like now, after a fierce battle and defeating another strong opponent in the wasteland of iron and blood, Chen Hao only felt empty.
Whether you open your eyes or close your eyes.
In front of my eyes and in my ears, there were only figures of the Zerg army running around, listening to the enemy's death screams in a battlefield like a meat grinder.
Day after day, year after year, until the student years come to an end.
"It's almost time to rest." On the night before graduation, Chen Hao murmured as he watched the game playback.
Glancing at the empty dormitory, I saw that all my roommates had gone to a graduation party.
The tired Chen Hao breathed out a breath of cool air, finally couldn't help but lay on the computer desk and gradually fell asleep.
…
Until a pungent, thick, and weird fishy smell penetrates into the nasal cavity.
He just woke up from his sleep with a surprised look on his face.
In front of me, the computer disappeared.
He lowered his hands and hunched his waist, sitting in a strange place. The touch under his butt was no longer a hard chair, but something soft.
When he looked up in confusion, he saw that everything in the distance was dark.
The ground nearby is covered with gray and sticky unknown objects. Their surfaces are smooth and covered with a thin layer of hazy bright moonlight.
"?!"
After a moment of blank mind, Chen Hao recovered from his shock and doubts.
When he turned around and looked around, he saw this sticky unknown object covering a large area around him.
Moreover, on the right side, there is an unusually huge and terrifying dark red disgusting flesh mass. This flesh mass is so large that it is larger than a building by visual inspection, and it is still squirming.
"Wow!!" Chen Hao was shocked and hurriedly waved his hands and feet to escape.
But he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Only then did he realize that the place where he was sitting was actually a flesh-and-blood chair extending from the deformed mass of flesh.
Around the seat, a dozen monsters, much larger than tigers, were flapping their wings and surrounding him.
These monsters have a terrifying appearance, with two claws and a shrimp-like torso. The legs extending from their sides are not used for crawling, but are suspended in the air by being flapped by the membrane connecting each leg.
But this is not the point. The point is its head with multiple compound eyes and its mouthparts that are constantly swallowing like snakes. It really makes the first person who sees it want to faint on the spot.
When he first encountered this kind of monster, Chen Hao was so frightened that he almost wet his pants. He couldn't help but get up and run away.
But before he had such a shameful impulse, an inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and Chen Hao unexpectedly discovered that these monsters looked very familiar to him.
"This is... a worker bee?"
He asked in a low voice, as if he was frightened and seeking self-paralysis.
But when their names were called, the monsters with their heads lowered raised their heads one after another, and their webbed wings flapped more diligently, as if to express their joy.
I saw that these insect worker bees were just circling around me, making low and gentle "coo" sounds from time to time, without any sign of launching an attack.
More than a minute later.
Chen Hao, who was stunned on the spot, slowly calmed down from the extreme panic.
He began to analyze his situation based on what he saw before him, because he really couldn't understand what the situation was like.
If there is no mistake, in addition to these worker bees, the huge dark red meat ball next to it should be the Zerg base in StarCraft 2 - the hatchery.
Worker bees are the workers responsible for raising the hatchery.
The hatchery will use the resources provided by the worker bees and under the management of the swarm owner to hatch and cultivate other insects to expand the territory of the swarm and conquer everything it can see.
So the question is – now, who is the owner of this hatchery?
"It can't be me, right?" Chen Hao muttered with a smile.
He admired himself very much for being able to laugh in such a situation, which showed that he was either bold or mentally retarded to a certain level.
(It’s better not to be so self-righteous. If you make a mistake, these bugs will definitely tear me into pieces without mercy, right?)
Even in a 1V1 encounter with the worker bees, which were the least aggressive among the zerg, Chen Hao didn't feel like he had even the slightest chance of winning.
Not to mention that there are more than a dozen worker bees here. It would be easy to slaughter him like fish on the chopping board.
But just in confusion.
Suddenly, a cold voice without much fluctuation came from my mind.
Chen Hao, who had read many novels on the Internet, was pleasantly surprised and thought he had a golden finger to unlock some kind of system.
It turned out not to be.
(Sure enough, serious people don’t have any systems. It seems that the protagonists who have systems may have some kind of delusion.)
"Master, please give us an order. In this new world, we need your guidance, Master, to move forward." The voice said.
"Who are you?" Although it was not a system, Chen Hao still understood the meaning of the other party's words.
Being able to communicate in a friendly manner also greatly reduced his panic.
"I am the King Insect, your most loyal subordinate, your most reliable servant, and a high-ranking being responsible for managing the supply of the insect swarm."
King insect?
Chen Hao thought of something and immediately looked up at the sky.
Under the bright starry sky, sure enough, there was a huge, balloon-like thing hovering above the hatchery. From the head of the flesh-and-blood balloon, you could vaguely feel a line of sight projected towards this side.
The person communicating with me was indeed this king insect.
A rare being in the insect swarm with independent intelligence!
(But having said that, in addition to providing population supply for the insect swarm, the King Insect is also responsible for some reconnaissance and tactical coordination work, and has no other uses. Can a guy with completely zero individual combat effectiveness be considered a high-level existence?)
Sounds of slander flashed through his mind, but on the surface Chen Hao would not ignore the king insect just because it was weak. After all, it was still an intelligent creature that could communicate.
Moreover, without the king insect, other insects would break away from the organization and lose control, completely unable to survive.
After all, the insect swarm cannot survive without the king insect.
"I heard the thoughts in your mind, Master, can I think that you are blaming me for my low ability and poor performance?"
The flesh balloons floating in the sky made grievances and complaints.
Chen Hao then remembered that the other party was an existence that could use spiritual communication to talk to him. Presumably, this was also its method of managing the zerg.
So Chen Hao quickly denied what he had just thought, saying that without the king insect, the insect swarm would no longer exist, and he could not ignore the other party's role.
After receiving the affirmation, the tone of the conversation between the king and the insect became more normal.
"So..." Chen Hao still couldn't believe it after all, "I am really the owner of this hatchery now?"
He couldn't imagine that what he just said came true.
If you think about it carefully, how can you be a bad gamer who hangs around in a shabby university all day long? One day he will become the leader of a Zerg force for no reason.
Although the current hatchery is just like the nascent base at the beginning of the game battle, it does not have much combat power yet. But it is indeed the symbol of the insect swarm, the zerg, which is a universe-overlord-level existence.
"No, you are not." The king insect replied.
Chen Hao took a deep breath.
Immediately the other party said: "You are not only the master of the hatchery, but also the king who will lead our clan to strength and become the master of the universe. You are the highest ruler, the controller of all things in the world. You are the ruler."
God of all, you are..."
"Okay, stop it." Chen Hao, who was almost scared to death, quickly interrupted its rainbow fart.
It seems that his dislike just now probably had a huge impact on the king insect. The latter is so flattering just to prove that it is not useless.
With a dry laugh, Chen Hao finally began to slowly accept the facts told by Wang Chong.
What's more, these worker bees were completely respectful and obedient to him, proving that the current situation was indeed as described by the king bee.
(But, where am I now?)
Chen Hao was still a little confused.
Although Quan is playing the real version of StarCraft, after all, he has been commanding the Zerg army in the game, so he can adapt to it more or less.
But he left his university dormitory and took control of a small swarm of bugs. Where are the coordinates where he is now?
With the help of the moonlight, Chen Hao could clearly see where he was.
The entire hatchery insect nest is actually located in a ravine. The night here is dark and narrow, making it difficult to distinguish the environment.
But judging from the stars, the North Star was not found.
The most eye-catching thing was a giant full moon many times larger than the normal moon hanging in the sky, which made Chen Hao's heart skip a beat.
Are you living in a magically altered earth?
Or is it a dangerous interstellar universe?
still……
There was no result in trying this, and he soon figured out what to do.
"Your Majesty King Chong."
"Lord, you can give me whatever orders you want without using any honorifics."
(Okay, it seems that I can really give orders to these zerg.)
Chen Hao immediately ordered, "I want you to use your high-altitude vision to understand the environment around the insect nest, and then report to me the information you observed."
"Yes, Lord."
After receiving the order, the King Insect immediately flew out of the mountains, but its flying speed was really hard to describe...
(That’s okay, as long as it’s faster than the balloon. The most important thing is that I can’t panic now. The situation may not be that bad.)
After watching the king insect go away, Chen Hao then turned his attention to the worker bees.
He felt that since they were all here, he had to do something with these little guys.
Because there may be great dangers lurking in the unknown world.
Although it is possible that in front of the insect swarm, this world is full of weak chickens, just like the technological level of the earth...
But this is all unspeakable.
Maybe even if he cultivated an army of Zerg, he would be punched out by a bald man in a cape as soon as he left the house.
Therefore, you still have to prepare in advance and take precautions.
It's for myself.
It is also to be loyal to one's own insect swarm.
"After all, I am the master now."
Chen Hao clenched his fists and laughed at himself, with a rare hint of excitement in his lonely tone.
