Zerg Survival Record
Chapter 22 Delusion
If you don't understand something, you can leave it to professionals.
Lan Yin has always believed in this truth.
So after looking around the shop for a few times, he decisively chose a few pieces based on his intuition and the raw stones recommended to him by Calvin.
There are three big ones and two small ones. The big one is as big as an office desk, and the small one is as small as a football.
Lan Yin spent a total of one million credit points to get them all.
Thanks to the oversupply in the market, the value of raw stones has depreciated to a certain extent.
If it were on Blue Star, you would have to spend at least tens of millions per piece, and you probably wouldn't be able to buy a raw stone of such good quality and such a large size.
Lan Yin didn't take them home, but packed them up directly, mailed the three large ones to Corick, and gave one of the two small ones to Calvin and the other to him, asking him to take it to Cyril.
Lan Yin believed that the two insects definitely knew each other.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Lan Yin felt that he had done a good job of keeping things balanced. When he talked to Teacher Korik, he could also use it as a topic of conversation, which would at least not embarrass them.
Calvin didn't expect that he would receive another gift. He wanted to refuse it, but Lan Yin would not let him succeed.
"This isn't just for you, there's also Cyril." Lan Yin winked at him, his tone a bit playful and joking: "If that guy mistakenly thinks I'm pursuing him, he'll be so proud. I don't want to be laughed at by him."
"I see." Calvin was familiar with the character of the Legion Commander and felt that what Lan Yin said was very likely to happen, so he no longer refused.
But then they went to other stores.
Calvin wanted to buy anything Lan Yin saw and give it to him.
If Lan Yin hadn't stopped him quickly, this guy would have become a famous fat sheep on this street.
Lan Yin had to stop shopping and stood on the side of the road with this female insect who didn't value money.
"Instead of buying all that crap and ridiculously expensive stuff, why don't you take me out for a nice lunch?"
He put down his hand, turned on his computer, and searched for famous restaurants nearby.
Given Calvin's status, it's not appropriate for him to go to a place like a food stall.
Calvin pulled his sleeve and said, “No need to search, there is a restaurant nearby that I often go to.”
Despite his aloof personality, he still connected with his colleagues when necessary. Most people also described him as cold on the outside but warm on the inside, honest and humble.
Lan Yin put down her laptop and went to eat with him.
This restaurant is much larger than the restaurant Lan Yin visited last time, and its style is not petty bourgeois but aesthetically romantic.
It's about interstellar storms and mecha battles.
Mecha and warship models can be seen everywhere. Although holographic projection technology is not used, the wallpaper and layout give customers a sense of atmosphere.
After they sat down and ordered, Lan Yin watched the waiter leave and then leaned over to whisper to Calvin, "I wonder how the food here tastes? The food wasn't very good last time we were in Lord Yufei's restaurant."
Calvin frowned slightly, but looking into his blue eyes that were so close, reflecting his figure, for some reason, the displeasure quickly dissipated.
"There are two types of restaurants on the market. One focuses on nutrition, and the other focuses on taste." Calvin is worthy of being a tool NPC. Like an AI, he explains the difference between the two restaurants to Lan Yin without any emotion.
After hearing the last part, Lan Yin concluded, "In other words, I went to the wrong restaurant."
"A restaurant that focuses on nutrition will place a few pots of blue or purple roses in front of its door. A restaurant that focuses on taste will use more casual decorations."
Calvin looked at him, a hint of self-blame in his eyes. "As the insect who guided you to adapt to today's life, I was too careless. I'm sorry that you have been hurt by this."
Lan Yin couldn't bear to see him like this, so she said calmly, "It's just a small matter. Don't worry about it. It's all my fault. If I had studied your customs more carefully, I don't think such an accident would have happened."
Calvin wanted to say something more, but the food was served and he had no choice but to shut up in front of the outsiders.
After waiting for the waiter to leave, Lan Yin gave him another look that told him to eat first, and he could only swallow the words of self-blame.
As they finished lunch and walked out of the restaurant, Calvin wanted to speak again.
Lan Yin patted his shoulder impatiently and said, "Look at you, you're so tall and handsome, but why are you so slow? You even want to have a debate with me over such a trivial matter?"
Calvin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled faintly: "My height is only standard, not as tall as some female insects."
Seeing that he was changing the subject, Lan Yin also took the opportunity to compare her height with his.
When he was on Blue Star, he was already over 1.8 meters tall. Whenever he went out during peak hours when the crowds were crowded, he felt a sense of detachment as if he was "looking down on all the mountains".
Now that he has come to the Zerg, his body has been transformed by this world, and he has grown five centimeters for no reason, almost to 1.9 meters. On the Blue Star, he would be considered a giant, but here he is just ordinary. As Calvin said, it is just the standard value.
Lan Yin laughed after the comparison: "There's not much difference between us. There's no need to envy other insects' heights. Maybe being too tall will cause you troubles."
"For example?" Calvin looked at the red hair by his ear and moved his fingertips slightly.
Lan Yin's eyes and eyebrows were very smart. "Things like clothes, shoes and socks need to be customized. When you go out, you will get 100% attention. Even finding a partner is difficult."
"After all, no one wants to keep looking up at others. It's not very friendly to the neck."
On the way back, Lan Yin was mostly talking, and Calvin was listening beside him. He would respond from time to time to show that he was listening carefully.
Lan Yin thought it was a good idea this way, so that the straightforward Zerg youth wouldn't say anything to anger him.
However, Lan Yin also likes to cause trouble.
Halfway through the drive, he asked to go back.
Calvin didn't understand why, but he was very obedient and never complained. He drove the car back to the mall.
Lan Yin hurriedly bought a fist-sized piece of raw stone and asked the somewhat silent Zerg youth to send him home again.
Calvin looked at the male insect who looked a little tired, and drove the car neither fast nor slow, but the road had an end, and no one could change it.
Lan Yin was thinking about giving the raw stone to Blue as a surprise, so he didn't pay attention to Bie Chong's emotions. After saying goodbye to Calvin, he left without looking back.
However, he didn't know that the female insect with smoky gray eyes had been staring at his back until his figure could no longer be seen, and then she withdrew her gaze.
"It's rare to see such a busy person appear at this time."
A slightly harsh voice suddenly sounded.
The admiral with blond hair and red eyes appeared before Calvin.
The smile on his face was still bright, but it made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable, as if it carried an unconcealable malice.
Calvin knew of Willich's provocation, but never took it to heart.
But at this moment, something changed.
Is it the heat in the air, or the clouds in the sky that are easily dispersed by the wind?
His eyes were like black mist.
Willich sensed some movement, and before he knew it, the world had grown dark and still, with fog enveloping the two insects.
When the white fog dissipated, the environment had changed.
The lush green villa area disappeared, replaced by a world of black soil.
Willich's face turned unhappy. "Calvin, what do you mean?"
Calvin changed his clothes. His black and gold military uniform was cold and gorgeous. He had a long sword with a sheath on his waist, and the patterns on it were delicate and mysterious.
His brows were sharp and cold as ice.
Even Lan Yin didn't dare to step forward to recognize him when he saw him.
"Let's have a fight." He didn't say much, just looked at the blonde female insect solemnly.
Willich's fighting spirit was aroused by his gaze. He licked his tiger teeth with the tip of his tongue and smiled healthily: "With great pleasure."
…………
next day
The legion commander saw the rough stone on his desk and asked his adjutant in confusion, "Who gave this to you?"
"Lord Lan Yin."
The adjutant lowered his head and sorted the documents accumulated from yesterday in an orderly manner.
Although they are all unimportant little things, they are very tedious.
The legion commander was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his lips curled up, and he reached out to place his hand on the rough stone, his tone tinged with surprise, "This child... is worth all my efforts."
The adjutant counted down in his mind: three, two, one.
"But he gave me something for no reason. Could it be that he couldn't help but like me? This is really a sin!"
Calvin heard the pride in his voice and said calmly, "Except for you, I was also lucky enough to get a piece."
The legion commander's expression froze for a moment.
The adjutant, fearing that he had not been devastated enough, continued, "As far as I know, Mr. Kerrick has three pieces, each larger than a table. I wonder if he has received them yet?"
The legion commander clutched his chest, nearly crying, "This is too much! How could you do this to me... Wait."
His expression hardened, and he tapped his eyebrows with his white fingertips: "Why do you have a scar here?"
Calvin didn't want to answer.
But once the legion commander became serious, he was used to obeying him.
"I had a fight with Willich." Calvin's knuckles turned pale.
It’s not that he was afraid of the legion commander’s punishment, but the inexplicable emotions in his heart made him irritable and no longer as calm as usual.
After hearing this, the legion commander stared at his subordinate for a long moment before asking, "Why?"
Calvin lowered his head and did not answer.
Seeing his demeanor, the legion commander laughed and said, "Why are you embarrassed? It's just jealousy."
He tapped his fingers on the outer shell of the raw stone and said softly, "Although I am responsible for him, you are the one who takes care of him. Before he wakes up, you should visit him every day. Such a beautiful male insect will make even the coldest and most hardened military female be moved by him. Besides, your heart is not cold at all."
Calvin's eyelashes fluttered.
"Once he wakes up, everything will come alive. You'll have the most contact with him, and he'll be dependent on you enough, so it's natural for him to have delusions."
The legion commander looked at him calmly, "But His Majesty and His Highness need his spiritual strength. Before everything is settled, I don't want you to cause them any trouble."
"I understand," Calvin whispered.
The legion commander heard it and stopped provoking him.
