Chapter 182 Teacher Su, a Contemporary Literary Master (Two Chapters Combined)
"I've figured it out." During the fight, the Ant King seemed to have a sudden epiphany. He stopped moving, landed slowly, and then clenched his fist.
"I possess immense power, and that power is fundamental."
"Military equipment is just a toy to pass the time; only combat is what I want."
"Military ceremonies and wheat are both irrelevant things," he said with a cold smile, as if emphasizing something.
Su Wu also landed on the ground, and after seeing this scene, she scratched her face thoughtfully with her fingertips.
Could it be... there's also a tragic love story involved?
It's the kind of story where "I'm attracted to the female lead, but I stubbornly refuse to admit it. Not only that, I also want to humiliate, belittle, and abuse her. In the process, I'm moved by the female lead time and time again, and finally I have to admit that I'm attracted to her, thus achieving a happy ending."
Although it's very unethical, Su Wu is still quite interested in watching it.
"If Gungi is a toy, then we have a special term to describe someone like you who plays with it every day—'playing with toys leads to the loss of ambition,'" the white-haired figure said jokingly.
"Me? Indulging in frivolous pursuits? How could that be?" The Ant King's clever mind quickly grasped the meaning of the word and immediately denied it.
"Once I kill her, I will not issue any more military orders." The Ant King seemed to have made up his mind, his body filled with flowing energy.
Su Wu looked at him and realized that he was actually serious about what he was thinking.
Is it really a tragic love story? Is it true or not? The comments under the videos he watched back then didn't seem to mention it.
Quite a few comments praised the old thief for being very good at drawing domineering CEO scenes.
As dawn broke, the ant king strode off in one direction.
Su Wu stood still and glanced down at the two siblings who had emerged from the ground.
"Did we guess wrong?" "It seems we guessed wrong." The brother and sister talked like they were performing a comedy routine.
"If a human falls in love with someone, they wouldn't think of killing that person, would they?" Aimei thought hard.
"Not necessarily. There are many minority groups among humans," Su Wu said with a shrug.
This includes a group that wants to destroy something because they like it.
"We'll find out if we go take a look." Su Wu lifted her foot and walked in the direction the Ant King had left.
The Ant King's destination was the room of a human girl named Komugi.
The opponent was covered in wounds and kneeling on the ground. Scattered feathers and bloodstains were beside him, along with the carcass of an eagle. Judging from the manner of death, it must have been killed by the ant king with his tail.
The ant king, who had threatened to kill the wheat, squatted down in front of the other, cupping the other's wounded hands in his own, and told the other that he should call for help in such a situation, because the other was a distinguished guest.
Su Wu and Ai Mei and Ai Li both stopped in their tracks.
You promised to kill the enemy? Is this how you kill them, King Ant?
They seem to have arrived at the worst possible time.
The three looked at each other, disappeared from the spot at the same time, and reappeared in other places.
"I suddenly had a creative inspiration." Su Wu suddenly clenched her right fist and slammed it into her left palm.
"Creation?" "Inspiration?" Amy and Alice looked at him.
"Literary creation." The white-haired boy nodded seriously.
Back when he was a content creator, besides cosplaying, he also had to write scripts.
After all, relying solely on photos can lead to aesthetic fatigue, while adding short clips or storylines makes it easier to gain popularity.
The two siblings didn't understand these things, but that didn't matter; as long as they wrote it down, they would know.
Su Wu immediately found paper and pen and began to create.
He prefers handwriting to typing on a keyboard or phone, which also helps him practice his handwriting.
If you don't write for a long time, your handwriting will become messy.
In just two hours, a short story of 10,000 words was written.
Su Wu took photos of the papers, compiled them into a file in order, and sent it to each of the contacts on her contact list.
Although the number of contacts on his contact list is pitifully small.
But he specifically noted that the recipient should also forward it to others.
He'd already come up with a title: "After Winning at Chess Against the Enemy's Commander, He Fell for Me."
Of course, they didn't use the names Ant King and Wheat directly, but instead used different names.
The two people weren't mentioned in any sentence, but every word referred to them.
Amy and Alice became the first readers.
"Xiao Sui knew that the enemy commander was a cruel, ruthless, and demonic inhuman being, but for the sake of her country, she had to stand up and gamble with her life to participate in this game. Her win or loss would determine the future fate of the country..." Ai Mei read out in a calm and unwavering voice.
Is that what that human girl is thinking?
"Did that human really know?" Alice asked doubtfully.
"It's normal for literary creations to be slightly adapted and embellished," Su Wu said matter-of-factly.
"Is this what human literature is?" Aimei and Alice asked thoughtfully.
So this is what humans like.
……
On the other side, Gon and Killua were analyzing the situation and making preparations for the battle.
They planned to infiltrate the palace, but because Neferpitou's circle covered a very large area, they worried that they would be discovered as soon as they entered the palace.
At the same time, they also talked about how Norb initially thought Neferpitou wasn't there because he didn't sense Neferpitou's circle, but he did sense it halfway through the journey.
The other party was clearly there, so why didn't they unfold the circle? They asked Colt, an ant who had surrendered to humans for the sake of the queen, about this.
Of course, the queen is dead, but she left behind a child before she died, and Colt is now staying with the humans to take care of the child.
Colt stated that Neferbitt was unable to use circles when treating people.
So a new question arises: when Nob infiltrated the palace, who was Neferpitou treating? And who could have injured those monsters?
At that moment, both Gon and Killua received message notifications on their phones.
"What...is this?" Killua looked at the title, which resembled junk information, and couldn't help but show a strange expression on his usually calm face.
"After winning the game against the enemy commander..." Xiao Jie read it out word by word.
"Don't read it out loud!" Killua immediately stopped him.
Doesn't Xiao Jie feel embarrassed reading this out loud? Just looking at it gives me the creeps!
But I feel like it's the kind of style that fat guy in my family would like...
"How could anyone send spam at this time..." Killua glanced at the sender's name and couldn't help but complain.
"Why would they send us this?" Xiao Jie felt there must be some hidden reason behind this.
The others who were discussing things with the two of them also gathered around.
"Let's finish reading it first..." Killua took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort he felt upon seeing the title, and forced himself to continue reading.
The more I look at it, the more I feel...
"Xiao Sui is amazing!" Xiao Jie suddenly said.
"Don't you feel anything's wrong?" Killua couldn't help but ask.
The enemy commander, of a non-human race, whose mother died in childbirth, was born with extraordinary talents, cruelly murdered his father, and then seized the human royal palace...
In addition, there are three female generals in the novel who look down on the female protagonist...
Isn't this a hint at the King Ant and his three guards?!
Although some details were changed, and the genders of the two guards were changed, and the mother was changed to the father...
But how could someone who knows not see it!
"Ah! So this is about the Ant King? Is someone passing on information to us in this way? But... why not use an easier way to understand?" Gon asked, scratching his head.
"That's a problem too," Killua nodded.
"It says here that while Xiaosui and the commander were playing chess, the human camp sent an assassin to infiltrate the palace to assassinate the king, but the three generals discovered him and fought with the assassin. The assassin managed to escape... Could this assassin be Nob?" Killua said with a helpless expression.
The person who wrote this must have exaggerated Nob's strength, right? Three generals against one and he still managed to escape? Even if Nob himself saw this, he wouldn't believe it was written about him.
"But... the King Ant actually severed his own arm. Neferpitou was treating the King Ant at that time." Gon looked like he suddenly realized.
The question that had just puzzled them seemed to have been answered.
But... who on earth wrote this kind of thing?!
"This sender..." Killua looked at Maro Perisha's name in the sender field, and a figure popped into his mind.
This style, which leaves one speechless and wanting to say something but unable to, could it be... written by that person?
How could they know so much about what happened in the palace?
Speaking of which... Nob seems to have mentioned that he saw the other party at the palace.
It's said that the other party is doing very well with the Ant King.
The two left and forwarded the document to Nakulu, Mo Laowu, and others.
Xiao Jie then made a phone call directly.
"The Ant King injured himself, which gave Nob the opportunity to infiltrate?" Morel asked in shock.
Has the Ant King gone mad?
"Um... take a look at the file I sent you first..." Xiao Jie's tone was a little stiff.
"..." Mo Laowu looked down and fell silent.
What kind of time is this to make him watch this kind of thing?
"This was written by someone in the palace; they might be using it to send us a message..." Xiao Jie explained.
"..." Mo Laowu finished reading this short story, which was hard to describe, with an expression of studying an ancient work.
Now he not only thinks the Ant King is crazy, but also the person who wrote this, and the person who says the commander in this story is the Ant King.
Everyone's gone mad.
However, these plot points were actually quite reasonable, and they also subtly corresponded to previous events.
Although it's clear that a lot of embellishment has been done, after all... the real assassin Nob never actually fought the Guard General.
Suddenly, a loudspeaker came on, ordering everyone to assemble in the square.
People who had been staying at home opened their doors, and regardless of age or gender, they all came out and headed in the same direction.
It was packed with people, so crowded that all you could see were heads.
Armed soldiers stood on tanks, maintaining order among the crowd.
Three guards stood atop the palace's spire, gazing into the distance, while the King Ant stood on the terrace, contemplating life.
For the first time since he was born, he began to contemplate the meaning of his existence.
Su Wu sat cross-legged in the void, swaying gently, writing furiously with paper and pen.
When I'm lacking inspiration, I'll chat with the Ant King for a bit.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Wu asked curiously.
The Ant King looked at the white-haired, red-eyed boy in mid-air and felt that perhaps only the other could understand him.
Because... they are equal.
The three guards treated him as they would a king, obeying him as a matter of course.
The two siblings always stared at him silently when they were facing him.
Only this human being in front of me can be a person with whom I can have an equal conversation, and these are things that I cannot talk to Wheat about while playing chess.
"I was born to be a king, but who am I? What is the meaning of my birth?" the ant king murmured.
"The meaning of being a king? Well, it's about expanding territory, conquering all sides, and protecting one's people," Su Wu said after thinking for a moment.
Just like when his biological father talked about the family business, he always told him that if he took over the business, he would have to find a way to continue to develop and expand the company and ensure the livelihood of the employees. He said that if the family went bankrupt, many families would lose their source of income.
So when his biological father became addicted to gambling, his biological father placed all his hopes on Su Wu.
"This is the meaning of the king's birth." The ant king did not express dissatisfaction or agreement with this answer.
"But you are the king, just like the queen's purpose in life is to give birth to you. After you were born, she lost her fertility and was immediately abandoned by the other ants." Su Wu couldn't help but complain, "Only humans think about the meaning of their existence."
If the queen ant didn't have human genes, she wouldn't think about this. Just like the queen, she would risk her life to give birth to a queen ant.
"And what about you? As a human being, have you ever thought about the meaning of your existence?" the Ant King asked, staring at the boy in mid-air.
"No," Su Wu replied without hesitation. "Only people who feel lost about the future would think about this."
But he was never confused.
Before transmigrating, her goal was to grow up well, take over the family business, and prevent the company from going bankrupt in her hands. After transmigrating, she simply let herself go and did whatever she wanted as long as she was in a good mood.
I've never felt empty or lost.
"Am I... feeling lost about the future?" the Ant King murmured.
You look really confused.
Therefore, we should pay more attention to children's mental and psychological problems.
"You seem to be getting boring." Su Wu sighed and put away her pen and paper.
He lost interest in the ant king.
The domineering ant king falling in love with a human girl is indeed a melodramatic and watchable plot, but what he wanted to see was the interaction between a non-human and a human, not the ant king becoming confused about himself because of it. In Su Wu's opinion, the other party's change made her more human.
There's nothing about melodramatic love stories between people that appeals to him.
Su Wu is only interested in non-human monsters.
If I had to say, Su Wu would prefer Neferpitou if he were a little stronger.
Because, without involving the Ant King, the other party is the type to act based on their own whims.
"I... am boring?" The Ant King's pupils dilated, his purple eyes filled with disbelief.
It seems that receiving such comments has dealt a heavy blow to his mental state.
"Go find someone else to talk to. I'm not your life coach. Bye." Su Wu disappeared from the spot.
The ant king was left standing there alone, still brainstorming.
The golden-haired ant stood in the air, its shimmering scales falling downwards with the fluttering of its iridescent wings.
The wind blew the scales towards the crowd, and those who inhaled the scales lost their self-awareness, their eyes vacant like puppets.
They wouldn't even notice if the person next to them died the next second.
Neferpitou sat cross-legged on the railing and continued to manipulate his puppet.
"What did you observe?" Su Wu suddenly appeared beside the other party and asked in a familiar manner.
"It seems that some of you humans have infiltrated these people," Neferpitou replied directly, without any attempt to conceal his intentions.
"Oh, really? Looks like they're about to make their move." Su Wu opened the two small eyes below her own and scanned the crowd below with all four of her eyes, her tone dismissive.
Infiltrate my foot! They're not even in this group.
After all, with Nob's abilities involved, those who are going to take action should be waiting in that pure white room, right?
I wonder who will be involved in this operation.
