Lying down in the Zerg and being fed by the breeder

So do insects actually like eggs with patterns?

Lan Ci smiled helplessly.

It takes four months to wait for the eggs to hatch.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Yan will stay in the manor for the next four months and become a senior homebody.

However, Lan Ci had other plans, so he persuaded Zhu Yan. While Lan Qing was at home looking after the cub, he dragged Zhu Yan out and started trying to do some male insect tasks.

(Lan Qing can’t look after the cubs. There are robot bugs and Xiao Wang at home who are specifically looking after the cubs. But having a live bug around makes me feel a little more at ease.)

Starting with the most common pheromone soothing, although Zhu Yan didn't understand, he completed the task honestly.

Anyway, you can get star coins and add points when you complete it.

Those female insects are so passionate...

After two months, Zhu Yan got used to the rhythm of completing tasks every day. He would get up early when the time came and carefully fold his quilt.

Then I waited and waited, but Lan Ci still didn't get up.

"Aci?" Zhu Yan poked his wife's cheek lightly with his finger: "Wake up, aren't you going to do the mission today?"

Lan Ci opened his eyes drowsily, climbed up from the bed half-dead, and then lay down again.

No, I can’t get up…

Zhu Yan was sweet and considerate: "Ah Ci, drink some water~"

Lan Ci looked at Zhu Yan and saw that he looked away guiltily, not daring to look at him.

Lan Ci: ...

This guy definitely did it on purpose last night...

Lan Ci: "I won't go starting today. The total points for the past two months are almost there. Let me see your points."

As soon as I heard that I didn’t have to go.

Zhu Yan showed a triumphant smile on his face, then opened his account and handed it over.

At this time, the male insect had a lot more points in his account.

Lan Ci clicked on it and found that he could redeem two months of rest time, so he helped Zhu Yan click on the redemption.

Zhu Yan tilted his head, confused.

Just use it like this?

Lan Ci rubbed Zhu Yan's head and said, "A Yan, we just have to wait for the next two months."

Zhu Yan seemed to understand: "Okay."

Well, I don't understand. Why play guessing games? It would be strange if it could know the answer if it is too lazy to use its brain.

Without having to submit pheromones, Zhu Yan looked at the star coins that were still arriving normally and felt that it was comfortable to get it for free.

About a month and a half later, employees from the Male Insect Association came to visit and brought a lot of things.

The employees who came to visit were polite and enthusiastic, and when they saw Zhu Yan, their attitude was even more respectful.

"Sir Zhu Yan, I'm sorry to bother you."

When encountering a strange insect, Zhu Yan would always become unusually tense and silent.

Of course, in the eyes of other bugs, this became aloofness and taciturnity.

So when it comes to conversation, of course I have to rely on Lan Ci.

Zhu Yan sat obediently next to Lan Ci, silently acting as a beautiful background, waiting for their final outcome.

It wasn't really a result, because Lan Ci's answer was, "Let's think about it for now."

Then he decisively sent the guest away. It was obvious that the negotiation did not go well this time.

So a few days later, the other party came to visit again and raised the stakes.

This time Lan Ci finally nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yan was confused by what he heard.

But in the end the amount given every month remains the same?

Won't you give me some extra money?

Although the monthly allowance for S-level is indeed quite high... but are you really not planning to increase it a little more?

Bamboo inkstone: (.?_?)

Lan Ci didn't know what Zhu Yan was thinking, but he could tell at a glance that his master didn't seem very happy.

Lan Ci: "What's wrong? Ah Yan?"

Zhu Yan spoke frankly: "Why don't they want to give me more money?"

Hearing Zhu Yan's reason for being unhappy, Lan Ci almost couldn't help but laugh: "Level allowances are clearly stipulated by the Empire and cannot be changed without permission. Otherwise, if I give you a bonus today, someone else might ask for more tomorrow."

"Besides, we're not short of star coins right now, so from the beginning my goal wasn't star coin subsidies, but other things, such as various preferential treatments..."

Of course, there is the most important point, which Lan Ci did not mention, because that was the surprise he wanted to prepare.

Before you know it, the female insect cub is about to break out of the shell.

It was also at this moment that Zhu Yan first saw the difference between female and male insects.

Unlike Rand who carefully pushed his head out of the eggshell, this little guy's way of getting out of the eggshell was very rough.

The eggshell shook a few times on the soft cushion.

Then a small fist suddenly came out and knocked off a small piece of the eggshell.

Bamboo inkstone: oh~

The egg-laying ceremony that followed was also very quick.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

After a few seconds, the little guy came out completely, and the entire eggshell was broken into pieces by the little guy.

Zhuyan: ...

To be honest, Zhu Yan originally wanted to collect the eggshell as a piece of art with nostalgic significance.

But now it's broken into pieces like this...

Let Xiao Wang glue them together next time.

On the other hand, Lan Qing was very calm.

She was even a little smug: "Well, my cub is pretty good, and she has the demeanor of a military woman."

As he was speaking, the newly hatched cub rolled over and got off the cushion, crawled in front of Zhu Yan and asked for a hug.

Just as Zhu Yan was about to reach out, the cub was taken away by Lan Qing.

Lan Qing: "Master, don't hold it yet. Even though it's just been born, its grip is actually quite strong. You don't have any protective gear on, and if the cub doesn't know how to control its strength and hurts you, that would be bad."

The cub struggled hard and asked to be held by his father.

Zhu Yan still stretched out his hand: "You are obviously clinging to me, let me hug you first and try it out?"

Lan Qing hesitated for a long time, but finally gave the baby to Zhu Yan.

The little guy got into his father's arms as he wished, and happily hugged one of his father's arms, unwilling to let go.

After feeling the force on his arm, Zhu Yan was stunned.

What the hell?! Something's wrong.

Does this hurt a bit?!

This little guy is only a tiny thing, how can he be so powerful?

Seeing that Zhu Yan's expression was not right, Lan Ci quickly asked Lan Qing to take the baby back, while Zhu Yan stared at the small red handprint left on his arm in a daze.

The strength of the military female... Is she already so powerful even when she is just born?

-

In the following days, Zhu Yan had another follower behind him, and the little female cub was very domineering towards her male father. She didn't consider sharing and only wanted to monopolize him.

Of course, Rand was unwilling to do so. He had always longed to be loved by his father and was even willing to share his milk with him...

As a result, an unreasonable younger brother came and wanted to snatch the father from me without making any effort.

He's not my brother! He's a bad guy!

So one day, Zhu Yan was entangled by the female cub again. As soon as he turned around, the two little ones started fighting.

Xiao Wang and the nurse bug were frantically trying to stop the fight.

The result was no surprise. Rand was a male insect and could not beat the female soldier at all. He was pressed to the floor by his younger brother. The scene was very funny. The three-year-old larva was bullied by the newly hatched female.

This scene scared Zhu Yan so much that he quickly picked up the beaten Rand and kept comforting him.

The victorious female cub was very proud of herself.

She pulled her father's trouser leg and shouted "ah" and "ah", indicating that she was the winner and he should be hugged.

But Zhu Yan looked up and glanced into the distance, then turned around and left, holding the crying Rand.

The female cub was still confused when a black shadow appeared behind her and enveloped her completely.

Lan Qing's voice was devoid of emotion: "Good boy, you've only been out of your shell for a few days, and you're already climbing up the roof and beating up your male insect brother..."

Female: ??????

Unsurprisingly, this lawless female cub who disrespected her brothers received the first beating in her insect life.
