Chapter 45 - Rite of Passage

If it is in the general interest of the race, the Predator is definitely the enemy of humanity, and it is not much better than the Alien - provided that the setting of "Alien vs. Predator" is also included.

Aliens simply hunt humans because of their reproductive instincts, using them as nutrients for hatchling larvae; The Predators, on the other hand, regard the earthlings as prey for some kind of honor, and in their opinion, unless an earthling can prove that they are a brave warrior, they are no different from worms.

Throughout the history of movies, there are only a few earthlings who can win the respect of the Predator, the black sister in AVP1 (killing an alien is regarded as completing the Predator's coming-of-age ceremony), the black police officer in P2 (killing the flower crab alone to prove that he is not weaker than the Predator), the captain hundreds of years ago in the P2 prequel comics (unfortunately he was plotted to death by the villain, and the Predator buried him personally and gave him an iron-blooded weapon as a funeral gift), The male protagonist in P3 (Predator 2010) (he didn't prove anything, he just saved the "battle damage", and then the battle damage gave up an old life to help him...... In the end, the battle damage was still dead).

Probably these are the only ones who are more well-known, and it is not easy to get the respect of the Predator, those guys either defeat the enemy with their character (the process of killing the alien by the black sister can be summarized in one sentence - it is better to fight well than to catch well), or to defeat the enemy with real skills (it's a pity that P1's Schwarzenegger used a trap, and as a result, the original Iron Blood didn't accept it until he died, and he also played self-destructing), none of them were easy.

They are devils until they are respected by the Predators, even though they have their own dignity and pride, and they will not do anything to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, nor kill pregnant women and children, but as long as you are not counted in this range...... You are the prey.

According to the grapevine, if you throw away your weapon while confronting the Predator, the Predator will be seen as a coward and will lose interest in you - but this is based on the only information available and has not been confirmed.

It can be said that from a racial point of view, the Predators are complete mortal enemies, and they need no pity at all - but from a personal point of view, they seem to be respectable warriors and hunters, and that unique set of glory can be said to have attracted a large number of fans.

Tang Xuan thought about it so much before he reacted - he was fighting a duel! Be serious!

So he held the fruit knife in his hand, and the whole person charged towards the gray mouth......

————————

"Shame on you! Sixty-eight's combat power was even cut off by one hand......" Tang Xuan, who was standing behind the bar, kept muttering to himself as if he had lost his soul, "Sure enough, I'm just a layman...... Just obediently be a background...... Uh-huh, yes, background, background, background welcome you......"

That's right, although he was cut off a hand, he still won, as for the gray mouth who lost? The guy's outlook on life was taken a blow - because he had the impression that a Predator would definitely end in the death of one of them as long as he was fighting, when in fact, he was indeed dead in the previous duel...... But after the battle, he came back to life.

So at this moment, he is still struggling, should he be considered dead or alive? Defeat means the loss of all past honor, because those things are of no use to the loser, to the corpse.

But I'm still alive......

In the end, Gray Mouth figured out a terrible fact - he is actually the guy who has lost all his honor and is still alive! No honor at all! It's a garbage of garbage!

"Whoa—————no," the guy clutched his head and wailed...... The people around him frequently looked sideways, but they didn't bother him because he seemed to have some emotional problems, leaving him sad alone.

Tang Xuan naturally noticed that he was sitting in the corner over there convulsive, and after thinking for a while, he still brought two boneless roast chicken (a black technology product that can only be provided by the purchasing system, a complete chicken, except for the leg bones, there are no other bones in it), picked up a can of wine, and walked over to sit next to him: "What's wrong?" Dumped by a girlfriend? ”

Someone had always asked him with this sentence before, but now he can finally use it to ask others.

As a result, Gray Mouth looked confused (I don't know how that chrysanthemum face made people see the "confused" expression) and asked, "What is a girlfriend?" Can ......"

Tang Xuan hurriedly interrupted him: "No, no, no, you can't eat it...... You didn't ask, come, have a bite to eat, a little wine. ”

Gray Zui looked at the roast chicken, and quickly shook his head: "This meat has been burned by fire, and I won't eat it." ”

"Look, stupid, aren't you? Uneducated, right? Tang Xuan said with a mocking expression, "Research has shown that the order of writing Chinese characters does not hinder reading...... Phew, I mean, studies have shown that cooked meat provides more energy and nutrients than raw meat...... Can't you make it? I mean, your race is big, it's your genetic advantage, but if you can improve your eating habits, maybe your race will get bigger in the future. ”

"I don't believe it." Gray Mouth shook his head repeatedly.

(Note: The author did not find out if the meat eaten by the Predators was cooked or not, and it is assumed that they ate raw meat)

"Don't believe it...... Then, I finally defeated you, and I can barely be considered a warrior, right? Then give me a face, come, taste. Tang Xuan pointed to the roast chicken, "I made this, in our culture, if you respect a person, then you should eat the food he prepared for you." ”

Well, as soon as he said this, he couldn't refuse...... So he hesitantly grabbed a chicken leg and took a bite - the picture of the chrysanthemum mouth biting something was still not described, anyway, Tang Xuan felt a little spicy when he looked at it.

“……！？”

Gray Mouth's outlook on life was once again hit - since he was a child, the elders of the family taught him that meat can only eat natural meat, and that meat that has been burned by fire will become old and hard, so it cannot be eaten...... He had always believed the words of his elders and only ate raw meat - in fact, the Predator race was like this, and their way of life was basically the same as that of primitive people, despite their advanced technology...... are still in a matriarchal society, and the feminist is estimated to be happy when she sees it, and she can be woken up laughing in the middle of the night.

I tasted the chicken that had been roasted to a soft and tender tenderness...... Gray Mouth only felt that the door of a new world had opened for him.

Considering that he was a waste anyway, he had lost all his honor, and he didn't even know why he was still alive, so he simply picked up a chicken and gnawed on it......

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, don't choke." Tang Xuan once said that he likes to watch others eat what he makes, because it is an affirmation of the food he makes, so it is okay to be rude when eating, just sitting patiently next to him and watching the gray mouth gnaw on the roast chicken.

After a while, a whole chicken was gnawed, and Gray Mouth raised his head again: "You say, what should I do?" ”

"Huh? What to do? Tang Xuan was stunned for a moment by his unprovoked question, "Could it be that you were really dumped by your girlfriend?" ”

"No, I mean...... Now I'm defeated in battle, and I'm dead, and now ...... I'm just a piece of garbage without honor...... You say, what should I do? Gray Mouth hugged her head and said, a look of distress appeared on Chrysanthemum's face, "I don't even dare to go back, because, because I've failed, why do I continue to live?" ”

“……”

How so? The entire Predator clan is pretty much so brainless...... Tang Xuan scratched the top of his head and said, "Have you done it again?" Isn't that easy? ”

"Huh!? Heavy, all over again!? Grey Mouth felt as if he had opened the door to a new world (why are there so many doors to a new world these days?). ), staring at Tang Xuan with his eyes dead, "You mean...... Do it all over again!? ”

"Yes, do you remember for yourself, when did you get the first honor in your life? Have you figured it out? If you feel that all your honors are gone, then it is like a newborn, start from the first step again, and get your honor back! Tang Xuan began to pour poisonous chicken soup on him, "As long as you believe that you can do it, then you will definitely do it, remember when the first honor was?" If you remember, what are you still doing? Go on! ”

Gray slapped his head and stood up: "Hey, Mom, why didn't I think of it!?" That's right! Boss, you have a point, it looks like I'm going to have a new coming-of-age ceremony...... I'm leaving! ”

So the guy ran away like a gust of wind.

"Hey, it's pretty aggressive." Tang Xuan looked at his back and sighed.

Then, before he could run out of the gate, Gray Mouth ran back again: "Why don't you go with me?" Since you have the ability to beat me, it means that you are also a warrior, do you want to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony with me? It's a great honor for you and me! ”

This guy ...... Unexpected self-cooking...... Tang Xuan refused with a smile: "I'd better forget it, I can't leave here if there is something to do, it's impossible for me to take a day off, right?" ”

Disappointed, Grey turned and walked slowly towards the bar door, seemingly unable to understand why anyone would be willing to give up his honor.

At this time, Tang Xuan's mobile phone vibrated a little, and he took out his mobile phone to take a look - the management system sent a prompt.

【Meet the conditions for task activation】

[Boss Exclusive Mission - For the Peace of the Bar: Go to any world, fight and survive successfully.] Upon completion, a new Boss-only training content will appear.

“…… Wait, you wait. Tang Xuan hurriedly stopped Gray Mouth, "Tomorrow, I'll be free tomorrow, you come over again, let's go together...... What, coming-of-age ceremony, you go and find a hunting ground today, and come to me tomorrow. ”

So Gray Mouth smiled (I don't know how to tell he was laughing) and nodded: "Okay! ”

Tang Xuan reluctantly put away his phone and sighed secretly: "What is the matter...... Why does it feel so difficult to become stronger? Other people's systems are not all kinds of magic skills, all kinds of bloodlines can be exchanged as long as you have money, I have to go out and do tasks to activate it...... Sure enough, I wasn't born to be born every day, right? ”
