StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 304 Solving the Problem Itself

Omega, who considered himself quite familiar with Shen Qingqing and on the same side, came over and tried to make conversation by standing beside her:

"Qingqing, do you usually do things by yourself?"

How many people are in your family?

Are they all as agile as you?

Shen Qingqing frowned at these questions. Putting aside how to answer them, were they even that close? Why were they trying to check her household registration?

"Private information, cannot be disclosed."

In the end, she still politely replied with a few words.

However, it took on a completely different meaning in Omega's ears.

'Does her avoidance of the topic mean she has powerful backers? And they're probably quite influential, otherwise she wouldn't be so nonchalant. So, Miss Qingqing is saying we shouldn't bother her, or the forces behind her won't let us off easily.'

It must be said that while Omega was undoubtedly unqualified as a pirate, first mate, and accountant, he was very professional as a dreamer.

But speculation is just speculation. Before witnessing her true strength, Omega will never bring speculation into reality.

So he quickly replied:

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore."

Omega is also a professional when it comes to backing down and admitting defeat.

'A real man is one who can bend and stretch!' Omega argued in his heart.

'Finally, it's quieter now.' Shen Qingqing was inwardly wiping away a bead of sweat. Omega's questions were too far off, and she didn't know whether to answer or not. Answering would make her seem too easygoing, while not answering would make her seem too aloof. Moreover, if something unexpected happened later and she needed cooperation or help, it would be difficult to handle.

"Sigh..." She wasn't very good at interpersonal relationships.

The tower is perpetually dark inside, and with the extensive vines covering the exterior and the high vegetation cover of this oasis, one would conservatively estimate that the interior should be quite damp and dark. However, it appears that the interior is only dark and not damp, which is quite illogical.

After walking for five or six minutes without noticing the fishy smell of damp soil in the air, Shen Qingqing became cautious and began to devise a plan using the insect mother's spiritual power.

Omega, whose mental energy was weak, felt a daze and an itchy nose, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

'Maybe he caught a chill from traveling all night,' Omega thought casually.

With the scene frozen into frame by frame, Shen Qingqing's brain rapidly observed the situation. Nothing unusual happened, not even the monster hidden in the shadows.

She felt a growing sense of unease. She had never encountered anything so strange before. How could there be nothing at all? Was she just being too paranoid?

"Ah sneeze——!!"

Lost in thought, Omega sneezed again, rubbing his nose sheepishly, and explained to her:

"It's probably just the temperature difference that made me catch a cold. We rushed here overnight, so it's perfectly normal for us to catch a cold and get a fever. I'm very healthy, I'll be fine in a day at most..."

Shen Qingqing ignored his rambling nonsense. After Omega's sneeze, she suddenly thought of something: sneezing is not only caused by the body regulating its temperature when it is cold, but may also be caused by odor irritating the nasal cavity.

Thinking of this, she quickly focused her attention again to observe her surroundings, and sure enough, she found some clues.

I didn't notice at first because all my attention was focused on the corners where I might be hiding, and I ignored what was in front of me.

Looking closer now, I realized that there were actually some reddish powdery substances floating in the air.

'It looks like pollen.' Shen Qingqing carefully observed the red powder floating in the air and came to a conclusion:

It cannot be ruled out that it is pollen from the so-called Mother Tree of Life!

That's what Gagar mentioned.

Suppressing her inner doubts, Shen Qingqing stood still.

Looking around, the pollen floating around them was scattered and irregular, basically drifting around with their movements, ruling out the method of finding the Mother Tree of Life by following the trajectory of pollen dispersal.

When Omega and the others saw Shen Qingqing suddenly stand still, they were caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to move or not, and could only follow Omega's instructions.

Omega's actions depended on Shen Qingqing's attitude. Since Shen Qingqing didn't move, he didn't move either!

So the seven of them were frozen in place. It wasn't until Shen Qingqing had a mental breakdown and came to her senses that she realized that, at some point, those famous pirates were standing there like puppets, not even blinking.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Qingqing stared blankly at the pirates who stood motionless like wooden figures.

What is this doing?

Cosplaying a wooden figure?

"Qingqing, didn't you suddenly stop moving? I thought if you didn't move, I wouldn't move either," Omega said, scratching his head sheepishly.

"And what about you guys?" Shen Qingqing looked at the thousands of dollars behind him.

Seeing that Omega had moved, he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his wrists and ankles, and said:

"Since none of you are moving, I won't move either."

"Same for us."

"Same."

"if not."

Those who had left with a few thousand yuan spoke up, their voices filled with relief at surviving such a disaster.

They were relieved that nothing unexpected had happened, otherwise their cannon fodder tendencies would have been triggered and things would have been terrible.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing was speechless for a moment, then realized that she had made a huge mistake.

These pirates might not have any strength at all; they not only lack strength, but they also lack intelligence.

Shen Qingqing wanted to cover her face, but then felt it didn't fit the image of an explorer, so she could only sigh softly instead.

"If you experience any discomfort or unusual symptoms, please let me know."

Hearing Shen Qingqing say that, Omega thought she was concerned about him, and with a smile, he leaned his face closer.

"If I tell you, will you..."

Having guessed what he was thinking, Shen Qingqing's lips curled slightly. Her dark eyes, devoid of light, were calm, yet concealed a restless madness. She spoke:

"I can help you solve this."

Then he added:

"If I can't solve the problem, I'll solve you."

In an instant, Omega's eyes were no longer glazed, his attitude was no longer ambiguous, his steps were no longer unsteady, and his head no longer jutted forward. He only felt a chill seep from the soles of his feet all the way to the top of his head.

"Hehe, I was just kidding, just kidding..."

"She really has the spirit of an adventurer. If she can't solve the problem, she'll address its root cause... Hiss... That's ruthless. Maybe this is what a beautiful woman with a heart of stone looks like." Omega silently took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and Shen Qingqing. He didn't want to be dealt with yet.
