T/N: Going forward, “Machine Warfare” will be “Machine Wars”. The latter rolls off the tongue more smoothly.

Although the teammates were not good enough and sent several heads in a row, with the efforts of Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu, the team quickly won the victory.

The other ten had no gaming experience, and even wanted to cry a little.

When he finally won, Qiu Zhenyang also said a sentence in the live broadcast room: “I’m a little sorry for the other side, because I and Xiao Mumu have been practicing man-machine battle for a week as preparation for today’s live broadcast. I think there are two players on the opposite side who are pretty good, and will try to invite them to play together later.”

After exiting, Qiu Zhenyang tried to invite them. One person clicked to agree to come in, while the other person had already started a new match.

After the visitor entered, Qiu Zhenyang was just about to start the game, when the person spoke first: “So you are really Qiu Zhenyang?”

Qiu Zhenyang, who was named, was stunned: “What?

“I can watch your live broadcast here.” This person with the id “whiteboard” is a senior player. In order to master the game as soon as possible, he watched the live broadcast in his mecha while playing. Because it’s a holographic game, players can directly connect online inside their mechas, which is why he could watch the live broadcast while playing.

Qiu Zhenyang was immediately helpless. “Play the game well, what are you watching the broadcast for?”

After complaining, he still clicked to start a new game.

This time, because of preparations in advance, Qiu Zhenyang quickly grabbed the marshal, while Ling Mu chose an assault soldier.

“Great god, what should I choose?” Whiteboard was excited because Qiu Zhenyang said in the live broadcast room that he played well, and his manipulation and analysis were really good, so he couldn’t help but follow his pace.

Qiu Zhenyang looked at the lineup. It was another round in which no guards were selected.

“Guardian, this role is easy to be overlooked, but is actually very useful. Defense is very important in the whole game, especially when protecting the mothership and buying time for teammates.”

He immediately responded and chose to play as a guard.

At the beginning of the game, this time Qiu Zhenyang directly coordinated the overall situation, opened the marshal’s widest range of vision, and directed his teammates to fumble and attack according to his rhythm.

It’s just that very few people are really willing to listen to his instructions, and most players are still reckless. In the first minute they were so confident and felt they could take down the opponent’s entire team by themselves.

There were few people who could be mobilized, and Qiu Zhenyang didn’t say anything. He just started his own attack.

Thirty minutes later, Qiu Zhenyang won again.

The popularity of his live broadcast continued to rise. After watching the live broadcast while playing, some people even quit the game to watch Qiu Zhenyang’s operation seriously. This game is very unique, but if everyone recognizes their own strength, chooses a role that suits them. and cooperates with their teammates, victory is almost guaranteed!

After each game, Qiu Zhenyang would bring some more skilled opponents or cooperative teammates to the room to play together. In the end, the team he temporarily formed was completely invincible, killing a bloody path among a bunch of novice players!

Because a ranking system was also added to “Machine Wars”, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu had the highest rank in the next morning. Their ids were on the leaderboard, which was very eye-catching.

“Okay, that’s it for this morning. I’m going offline to prepare lunch.” Qiu Zhenyang saw that it was almost twelve o’clock and was ready to go offline.

Ling Mu naturally had no objection. Last week, he had a lot of fun playing with Qiu Zhenyang.

And to tell the truth, playing against these newbies is not as fun as playing against the computer.

“Boss Qiu, can you take me to fight next time?” Just when Qiu Zhenyang was about to go offline, someone in the room quickly stopped him.

This person was the one who was pulled into the room by Qiu Zhenyang at the beginning. His skills were really good, and he was very cooperative with Qiu Zhenyang’s assignments, and followed in his footsteps.

Hearing him say that, other people also began to ask: “Yes, yes, take us with you, add a friend!”

“We can be friends. Everything else will depend on the games.” Qiu Zhenyang accepted their friend requests, waved his hand, and went offline.

After coming out of the game cabin, Qiu Zhenyang stretched. Sure enough, one can’t stay in the game cabin for too long, otherwise your muscles will become stiff.

After leaving the room, Qiu Zhenyang was about to go downstairs, but after thinking for a while, he knocked on Ling Mu’s door. He came out of the game before him, so he should be up.

“What?” Ling Mu’s decadent voice came from inside, and Qiu Zhenyang was a little worried, so he twisted the door handle and went in.

“What’s the matter, are you uncomfortable?” When he went in, Ling Mu was lying on the bed and looked up at him slightly. Qiu Zhenyang thought he was not feeling well.

Ling Mu raised his arm to cover his eyes. “Sleepy. Let me sleep for a while, I don’t want to eat.”

Last night, Qiu Zhenyang really squeezed him a lot, and he spent a whole morning focusing on playing games. It was overdue for his body to protest. He was so sleepy his eyes could hardly remain open.

Thinking of his beastly behavior last night, Qiu Zhenyang smiled shyly. He helped shut the curtains in the room, then helped Ling Mu take off his pants and shirt, and gently stuffed them into the quilt, so that he could have a good rest.

“Then come down to eat when you wake up.”

Finally, he warned, seeing that Ling Mu had closed his eyes and his breathing gradually calmed down, Qiu Zhenyang stepped out lightly.

After finishing the lunch, Qiu Zhenyang saved some of it, and then he sat on the sofa in the living room. Opening his terminal, he navigated to the game platform and forum of “Machine Wars”, and slowly read through it.

This new game attracted the attention of most players in the entire interstellar space in just one morning.

Because of its novel game mode and independent settings, it drew much attention and commentary.

Most reviews are mixed. Although many people like the game and say that the game is interesting, there are also many players who feel that the mode is too weird and declared they would give up.

He anticipated such comments, but there were also things he didn’t expect.

That is, there was actually a post dedicated to Ling Mu. It has already become a high-rise building1many replies and has become a hot post.

He curiously clicked into the post titled [Omega Male god in the Game World – Ling Mu]. The corners of his eyes began twitching the moment he landed on the contents.

[I heard that OO love seems to be legal in recent years, right? Then I now officially announce that I am going to pursue this omega!]

Qiu Zhenyang sneered and muttered to himself: “Are you kidding me? Ling Mu is mine. Asking for a beating trying to grab someone with me? It doesn’t matter if you are an omega, if you dare to grab my wife, don’t think I’ll let you go…”

Continuing to read, it turned out the style of the floor below was surprisingly consistent with the main building.2main building = OP (original post), and floors below = replies

[He is really handsome! I’ve never seen an omega who is so good at playing games. I really want to make friends with him. Will he be willing to teach me how to play games?]

[Don’t talk about games, he is so handsome in real life! He doesn’t look like an omega at all, and can compare to AB3alphas and betas. So tall and handsome!]

[Upstairs, where did you see his photo?]

[Go to the official website of the First Consortium to find a photo of Master Qiu and Ling Mu.]

[My god, he looks handsome and plays games well. What’s the use of AB!]

Qiu Zhenyang shook his head speechlessly. These omegas really have serious love brains… Now he has to guard not only against alphas and betas, but also omegas!

The more he thought about it, the more tired his heart was…

——–

Ling Mu slept until the night when he was woken up by a phone call.

In a daze, he opened the terminal and put it to his ear to answer when a burst of crying suddenly sounded, which directly scared him awake.

“Ling Mu woo woo, can you, can you come and pick me up… I can’t woo woo woo!”

Guan Tang stumbled and talked for a long time, but he was too emotional and his words were incoherent. Ling Mu could only ask him for an address, and after figuring out the address, he hung up the phone amidst Guan Tang’s cries.

Ling Mu sighed and rolled over from the bed, opened the curtains to take a look, and found that it was already dark, so he immediately changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Qiu Zhenyang, who was reading downstairs, thought that Ling Mu was coming down to eat when he heard the sound, but Ling Mu went straight to the shoe cabinet, put on his shoes, and said, “Guan Tang has something going on, I’m going out first.”

“Guan Tang? What’s the matter?” Qiu Zhenyang put down the book and frowned. “You haven’t eaten lunch and dinner. If it’s not a hurry, eat some before leaving.”

Ling Mu shook his head. “It’s okay. I don’t know what’s going on on his side, and I want to see the situation first. He’s crying a lot.”

Since something happened, Qiu Zhenyang definitely couldn’t let Ling Mu go alone. He quickly got up and ran upstairs. “Wait a sec, I’ll go with you. Let me change my clothes first.”

They hurried to the address Guan Tang mentioned, which turned out to be a bar. On the academy grounds, there are about 4-5 bars, all of which are hidden in the most secret corners of the commercial street. Generally, not many people go there. After all, the students of the Interstellar Academy prefer to study.

The two of them didn’t hesitate much and went straight in to find him.

Now that the number of people in the bar is gradually increasing, Qiu Zhenyang noticed that there seemed to be a group having a party, drinking and laughing around the corner table. It was very lively.

Ling Mu found the restroom based on what he heard on the phone, and after entering, he directly asked loudly, “Guan Tang, where are you?”

Guan Tang, who had been hiding in the innermost compartment, heard Ling Mu’s voice and burst into tears. “I-I’m here! Woo…”

Feeling nervous at the sudden outburst of tears, Ling Mu hurriedly walked in. Qiu Zhenyang stood at the door of the bathroom, keeping an eye out. After all, it’s still unclear what happened. This bathroom is shared by all genders, so it’s better to pay attention.

When Ling Mu saw Guan Tang in the cubicle, he was also startled.

He had never seen anyone cry so much.

Guan Tang’s face was full of tears, but because there was no tissue in the restroom, his face was a mix of tears and snot. Ling Mu’s face twisted into indescribable disgust.

With a “tsk”, he took out a packet of tissues from his pocket and handed it over.

Seeing Guan Tang wiping his face with a tissue, Ling Mu raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. “What’s going on?”

His eyes widened as he looked at Ling Mu in despair and grief. “I broke up with Nie Chen.”

Ling Mu frowned, “Oh, you broke up? Then you are not too stupid.”

Guan Tang: “Waa!”

He started crying again.

Ling Mu’s face was cold. There was an urge to seal his mouth…

After finally stopping, Guan Tang continued to sob and said, “This afternoon, Nie Chen told me to come to the bar for a club party. When I came over, it was just drinking and chatting. Later, a few seniors and seniors chatted about the game “Machine Wars”, and I listened to the side. After talking, they asked me to pay for our club to form a team.”

“Machine Wars” has a team system, this Ling Mu knows, but…

“Why did they ask you to pay again? There are no items that cost money in the game during the internal beta.” The more Ling Mu listened, the angrier he was. Guan Tang let them bully him like this?

Listening to Ling Mu’s words, Guan Tang sniffed and nodded. “I also brought it up, but they just asked me if they would give me money or not! I was very angry at the time, so I was very tough. I said no, and then two seniors started to scold me, and what annoyed me the most was that Nie Chen didn’t say a word, but even said I was stingy and didn’t even want to pay this money!”

It happened so many times that Guan Tang had reached the limit of his patience.

“In addition to this party, the girl who called Nie Chen when we were having dinner also came and stayed by Nie Chen’s side the whole time. I was unhappy and told her to stay away from my boyfriend. As a result, Nie Chen blamed me!”

Thinking of what happened before, Guan Tang felt extreme heartache, and tears fell again.

“He’s different. When we first met, he was completely different!”

Ling Mu rolled his eyelids and said sharply, “I’m afraid it’s not. You didn’t see his true colors clearly from the start.”

Hahaha, QZY pitted himself by letting Mumu stream.
