How Hard is It To Raise a Bug?

Yu Mengruo thought that the planting branch line was not within the scope of J10's tasks, it was just his own hobby, but unexpectedly received a branch task notification.

J10: "Dear host, a piece of unfortunate news. Your lettuce from the earth has attracted common aphids on the earth, please choose to accept the new task [Pioneering Star: Eliminate Diseases and Pests], save your beloved vegetables! Otherwise , when you arrive at asteroid B612, you can only taste the leftovers of aphids."

At the beginning, Yu Mengruo didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and the arduousness of the task at all, and asked easily: "How to do this task, add insecticides to the irrigation system reservoir?"

J10 replied: "Dear host, please remember your identity, you are a male with mental strength and active exercise, not a real vegetable farmer. We are doing system tasks, not real farming— If you accept the task, J10 will start a small game for you, scan and eliminate aphids with mental power. The gameplay is similar to that of playing whack-a-mole. Are you ready? Can you start?"

Although J10's tone was as gentle as usual, Yu Mengruo keenly felt that something was wrong. But the system is usually so kind to him, Yu Mengruo decided to tolerate his occasional petty temper and yin and yang eccentricities, and said obediently: "Okay, then let's start Xiao Shi! I will definitely work hard!"

The system did not speak any more, but played a piece of music. The multi-dimensional projection perspective directly turned into a vegetable field in the BGM, and quickly zoomed in on a vegetable leaf with small insects. The fresh color of the lettuce made Yu Mengruo swallow without hope. A mouthful of saliva. When I first read the mission copy, I didn't think much of it, but after seeing the beautiful lettuce leaves and the jagged curves on the beautiful and flexible leaves, Yu Mengruo suddenly discovered the aphids that would bite his lettuce out of the wormhole. Shouldn't exist on his planet!

J10: "Please feel it carefully, condense the mental power in the pest to compress it as much as possible, and then let go of the control. If you control it properly, the mental power will explode in the aphid's body."

Yu Mengruo asked cautiously, "Will it not hurt the leaves?"

J10 said softly: "If you control it properly, it won't. If it causes damage to the vegetable leaves, it means that your control is not accurate enough. Please start, you can get a bottle of Laoganma for 10 consecutive kills."

Yu Mengruo suspected that he had guessed Xiao Shi's idea wrong just now, and the system didn't seem to be unhappy, otherwise, there would be no such good thing in the world, and suddenly told him that he could get such a good task reward. For the goddess old godmother, Yu Mengruo's expression immediately became serious, and she said loudly, "Then I'll start!"

Because he was so motivated, the male worm didn't even consciously shout out the conversation that was going on in his head, causing Sharka, who was originally focused on driving the spaceship, to turn his head and smile slightly.

—Yu Mengruo didn't know, J10 was running the program secretly at this moment, and an idea came up: the host is so coaxing, he only needs a bottle of seasoning and is willing to do the task obediently. While kidnapping him for the task exercise, the system It even felt a little distressed for the host.

J10 deduced that if he was an organized and numbered system and could chat with J1-J999 in a group, the host Yu Mengruo would definitely be the kind of binding object that would allow him to show off in front of other systems.

The system stores the self-generated redundant ideas into categories, and is ready to find opportunities and suitable objects, and then try them according to their own ideas.

But now, even if it is a very advanced intellectual brain, it does not have two purposes, but mobilizes all its energy to pay attention to the male worm who is learning to attack for the first time, so that it can deal with the emergency in time.

…

Yu Mengruo first concentrated his attention, trying to compress his mental power and then relax like J10 taught, with a bang, sand and shavings of his beloved lettuce rose up in the sky.

Yu Mengruo was stunned. Seeing that the ground where the lettuce was a pit just now was falling on the projection, clods and vegetable dregs fell one after another, feeling that his heart was about to break.

If he had come to the scene in person now, he would have knelt down and held up the vegetables and wept, "Xiao, Xiao ten...I, can I really succeed in ten combos? When I practice ten combos, I can still use them. Have you come to match the lettuce that Lao Ganma had eaten together? Ugh..."

After promising not to spy on Yu Mengruo's thoughts casually, even the most advanced system J10 couldn't tell if he really almost bullied the male insect to cry.

It immediately adjusted the compromise, mobilized the most gentle and kind voice in its database to comfort: "Please don't be sad, the system has been introduced to you just now, we are doing system tasks, which is equivalent to a game. You have just started accepting the use of mental power attacks. training, everything just now is the reaction of the virtual simulator. After you successfully hit ten consecutive hits and get the task encouragement [Lao Ganma*1], we will start actual combat to defeat the enemies in the real world. Defeat the aphids , will be the most solid first step on your journey of conquest, gossip, go ahead, host!"

Yu Mengruo seemed to have energy immediately, but she still asked in frustration: "Do I have to use mental power to actually kill insects? Can't I pour some insecticide after ten consecutive hits? Even after practice, there will still be injuries to me. The possibility of loving vegetables!"

J10 was determined not to back down this time, and poured Yu Mengruo a bowl of chicken soup with his backhand: "Please don't say that. Believe in yourself, aphids are not terrible enemies. You will find the task difficult because you value your own planting. But please don't forget that you are not doing the task for entertainment. You are practicing your fighting skills, and your strength is very strong. Because of this, you should learn to control and fight at the very beginning. Protect the things you value while protecting the enemy. Although the training in front of you is hard, when you actually step on the battlefield, you can be a gentle and powerful protector. Host, Ollie!”

Yu Mengruo was persuaded and was stabbed by the "gentle and powerful protector". He felt that Sharka was like that, and he wished he could be like a female.

But still can't help but complain: "Xiao Shi, use less Internet terms, you are a chat system that will leave behind, if you recall this paragraph in a few years, it will be very embarrassing..."

Although he had to pick thorns in his mouth, the male worm did calm down again easily, and he calmed down and exercised again.

Knowing that it wouldn't hurt the real lettuce, he really relaxed a lot. First, he tried how much damage it would cause if he really let go completely. He plowed the lettuce field in the virtual vegetable garden for fun, and then he started to practice, practice. After that, I will open up a big scene to create a big scene, and have a lot of fun.

It wasn't until the spaceship got closer and closer to a small blue planet that the male found out that he was still being fooled by the system J10! What a simple little task, what Lao Ganma who can get an extra bottle in advance, it's all a lie! He is about to set foot on the B612, and he is still killing insects in the system simulator, and he has not even touched the shadow of ten consecutive hits!

…

Sharka's driving skills are very superb, and Orca 1 can also adapt to spacecraft on complex surfaces, and the whole process of landing on B612 is very smooth.

After a long journey, as soon as the spacecraft stopped, Yu Mengruo couldn't wait to run out and make contact with his own planet for the first time.

Even the eldest young master who collects luxury cars as toys has never imagined in human society that he will one day travel through and own a planet.

Although he and B612 were already familiar with each other through the Internet, the feeling of having a face-to-face meeting for the first time was completely different from that of an online chat. Yu Mengruo was so excited that he wanted to run around in the wasteland. If it wasn't for Sharka who also got off the spaceship, J10 could obviously see what he did at any time. There was also a Wright on the spaceship. Maintaining his demeanor in front of him, he even wanted to try rolling on the ground.

But when Sharka came to him, Yu Mengruo couldn't help swooping over and grabbed Sharka's arm excitedly.

Sharka originally wanted to follow up and ask if he should let Wright, who was locked in the back cabin, go with them, but Yu Mengruo jumped at him, so he put the thought aside for the time being, and decided to ask again later. Wait and see what the hero does.

Yu Mengruo blushed with excitement and said with bright eyes, "Shasha, let's go and show you our future home."

Then, he finally couldn't help dragging Sharka to run - it's a bit silly to run alone, but it's much better to run with Sharka.

This time, Sharka's reaction was also very fast, and there was no mistake that he didn't cooperate well when he was pulled away for the first time, and even forcibly acted awkwardly and staggered and didn't stand firm.

The location where Sharka chose to land was originally near the survival base.

Although the female worm and Yu Mengruo have been doing tasks here for nearly three months, she is so familiar with it, but she remembers everything after reading the map. After a period of systematic training, the male worm has improved his physical strength and moved much faster. It is not difficult to match his pace.

Yu Mengruo quickly brought Shalkara in front of the survival base, and the female worm looked at everything in front of her in surprise.

It is obviously a barren planet that has never been stepped on, and a lot of infrastructure has been built, and there are several buildings scattered high and low.

In the middle of the buildings that are still under construction, many kinds of mechanical Zerg are busy working. In one greenhouse, a large piece of vegetables has even grown.

Facing all this, Yu Mengruo waved his hand proudly, and Mr. Ba asked, "Shasha, are you still satisfied with what you see?"

Sharka looked at what was in front of him, and suddenly he understood - no wonder the lord wanted to mark him on his journey.

Yu Mengruo was appreciating everything in front of him with high interest, and suddenly realized... Sharka's mood was not as good as he had imagined, but gradually declined, and turned around in confusion and surprise and asked, "Shasha, what's the matter with you? Why are you unhappy?"

Sharka didn't know what he was unhappy about, and he also wondered about it.

The hero is so happy, his mood obviously affects the mood of the male, Sharka said apologetically: "I, I'm sorry...I, I like it here too. I'm not lying, you can feel it, right. "

Yu Mengruo nodded blankly, but she didn't feel disappointed, and guessed: "Shasha, do you feel unhappy because I didn't tell you the progress here in advance?"

Sharka was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. You have such abilities and resources, and you're not as poor as I imagined, and I'm very happy that the Zerg can send nanomachines here in advance for you. Moreover, you didn't hide it deliberately. You asked my opinion on the site selection before, and I accepted my suggestion. I am also very happy. This planet is very beautiful, and the progress of your base construction is beyond my expectations. Happy to see all of this…”

Although Yu Mengruo was indeed a little uneasy just now, he wondered what Sharka would think about his base being built, and whether he would have suspicions about him. But now hearing the meaning of the female worm's words, Yu Mengruo was relieved: Sharka was as good as before, especially good at finding reasonable and offensive explanations for his absurdities. Whether it is logical or common sense, it is much better than his own story.

This was originally something to be happy and worry about, but now Yu Mengruo has no time to be happy to pass another level.

-Although he would not understand Sharka's thoughts in the past, as long as the female worm is willing to explain, he can gain enough sense of security. It was a lie, but Yu Mengruo was even more confused.

The male worm said softly with doubts: "But Shasha, you are clearly overwhelmed by your unhappy emotions now. I want to know why. Did I do something wrong?"

The male's question made Sharka's heart feel like it was clenched, and he shook his head. As an elder with a strong heart, he first corrected the mistakes of the young male, "Master, not all the bad moods of other Zerg are because of what you did wrong, you don't have to be responsible for the bad mood of the surrounding Zerg. of."

Then, he touched the position of his heart strangely and said, "I'm sorry, Lord, I don't know why I feel sad now."

Yu Mengruo stared at Sharka's light-colored eyes and was at a loss for a few minutes, not knowing what to do at all.

Sharka didn't speak or move, and let him look down with his eyes down.

Thanks to the female insect's patience, after a few minutes, Yu Mengruo finally had an idea.

He stretched out his hand and held Sharka's hand, imitating the way Sharka always comforted him when he expressed his inner thoughts candidly, and said seriously: "It's okay, Shasha, no matter why, you don't have to be in a bad mood for yourself. Apologies. Although I do hope you can be as happy as I am, but if you are unhappy, let's not visit the base for now. There is a mining farm not far away, do you want to go and have a look? Or release the flying shark, You probably haven't entered the cockpit of the mech for a long time."

Seeing what the female insect wanted to say, Yu Mengruo raised his hand to signal him not to speak, and listened to himself: "Shasha, you are not 'other Zerg' or 'the Zerg around', even if you don't have to be responsible for your bad mood, but When you are unhappy, I still hope to do something for you to make you happy!"
