EROS [Zerg]

"This……"

The doctor in charge of Luo Lan's physical condition had never seen anything like this before and couldn't explain it for a moment. Feeling embarrassed, he changed the subject: "From the beginning, Xiongzi's physical condition was perfectly normal. Could you tell me what Xiongzi came into contact with or what happened during the time he was away from the ward?"

Eros listened with amusement. Although he was tasked with taking care of Luo Lan, his role was that of a battlefield intern, and helping Luo Lan communicate with other female insects was a secondary mission.

Now, Rand, who was the first to discover Luo Lan's unconsciousness, has become the focus of attention for all the insects.

Rand had to go to the hospital for treatment because she had been repeatedly subjected to mechanical violence to extract milk, but she did not expect to get into trouble for no reason.

Eros stood quietly to one side. During his days at the Sixth Star System General Headquarters, he had heard some rumors about Rand.

Back when Evanson Eastland was a lieutenant general, in order to firmly grasp power in his own hands, he used his military achievements and the favor of the Insect King to completely undermine Rand's real power as the admiral of the Sixth Star System.

Rand, who originally held supreme command in the sixth star system, was gradually marginalized and became the only general in name only among the eight star systems of the Empire.

If Evanson hadn't been suppressed by his powerful lord and unable to be promoted to general, Rand wouldn't have even been able to keep his general's rank.

Now that Evanson is dead, power seems to have returned to Rand's hands, but Evanson's influence during his lifetime has not completely dissipated. Many female insects in the military who followed Lieutenant General Evanson are unwilling to obey Rand's orders.

Rand, whose power has been sidelined for decades, is now not secure in his position as general.

Even though Evanson is dead, the military achievements and prestige he left behind are unmatched by Rand.

Rand wanted to change the various policies established during Evanson's tenure, but he received no support from the female insects in the military. He wanted to follow the old ways and continue the policies set by Evanson, but he did not have the powerful background and courage of Evanson to withstand the pressure from the male insects. Moreover, his insect offspring were still in the clutches of his male lord, Duke Rutaan.

Female offspring are worthless.

Duke Rutaan, who grew up in an atmosphere of male superiority and female inferiority, held this view even more strongly.

If it weren't for controlling the generals and their parents in Kines, Duke Rutaan would never have kept this female insect offspring by his side. Raising insect offspring is far too tiring and troublesome for male insects.

Because these little insects haven't been taught to respect males, their innate wildness often leads them to do things that offend males.

In short, RAND is now in a dilemma.

Eros lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over Rand before settling on the report held in the doctor's hand. Finally, he stepped forward and asked the doctor who had raised the question, "Is it possible that this male prince's level is too high, causing his second evolution to occur earlier?"

In truth, Eros's real thought was that since the Blue Star Thief could create so many "monsters," it was hard to say whether the male insect he rescued from the Blue Star Thief was a normal male insect.

He certainly wouldn't reveal his true thoughts, but Eros always maintained a skeptical attitude towards anything without a definite answer.

"We've never seen an S+ grade male insect offspring before, so nothing is certain at the moment," the doctor said, somewhat embarrassed.

Eros then asked, "What happens when a normal male offspring undergoes its second differentiation?"

"Usually, the high fever lasts for three days. During this time, the male insect's reproductive desire will increase. At this time, a female insect is needed to guide it and help neutralize the pheromones that cause the insect to overreact. After secondary differentiation, there is a very small chance that it will become a higher-level male insect."

"What would happen if there were no guide worms?" Eros raised an eyebrow slightly. After he asked this question, the eyes of the other female worms around him suddenly focused on Eros.

"How could you not know such a simple question?" the doctor asked, frowning. "Male worms without guide worms will suffer terribly during secondary differentiation, and it will also affect their fertility."

Eros scratched his head sheepishly. He had always had poor grades in his reproduction class, and the class had even been rescheduled. He didn't know much about it.

"So, can we now be certain that the male is in the process of secondary differentiation?"

"Based on the examination results, this male is already undergoing secondary differentiation." Several doctors gathered together and confirmed this conclusion:

"The most urgent task now is to find a female insect that can guide this male offspring."

They looked around, their gazes sweeping over the single female insects in the room.

Although the creature lying on the hospital bed in front of him was an S+ grade male insect offspring, it currently looked like a newly hatched insect.

No adult female insect present could bring herself to claw at a young insect, especially since this young insect was a rare S+ grade male insect. If even the slightest problem occurred during the guidance process, who could bear the consequences?

"you……"

Seeing the gazes of the female healers fixed on him, Eros's expression tightened: "I have a male."

"But there's no record of you being married in your information," Youchong said, glancing at Eros's basic information on his personal terminal.

“Having a male insect doesn’t mean you have to get married.” Eros refused without hesitation: “My male insect likes me very much, and I have already agreed to marry him. If you want me to be the guide for this insect offspring, I guarantee you will all receive a complaint letter from my master to the Male Insect Protection Association.”

A male insect's complaint is tantamount to a conviction, making it a rather troublesome matter for any female insect.

"It's not like you're the only one who can do it." The doctor rolled his eyes at Eros, feeling incredibly jealous looking at the smug face of the female insect in front of him.

He would never believe it if other female insects said such things. In the eyes of most male insects, female insects are just objects to provide for them, and it is incomprehensible to waste emotions on female insects.

It's common for male insects to swap with their females to play; if one is gone, the next one is even more docile.

However, when the female insect Eros said that the male insect liked her very much, no female insect was surprised.

Look at that face, exactly like Evanson's—beautiful, rare, and it arouses a desire in the insect to conquer it.

Back then, just as many male insects hated Evanson, there were just as many male insects who wanted to conquer her, wanting to see this arrogant and aloof female insect collapse and weep uncontrollably beneath them.

To date, the price of purple insectoid pupils on the black market has been driven up to seven million star coins per coin. These are the purple eyes that some female insectoid larvae have grown after undergoing genetic modification while still in their eggshells.

Those eyes were usually cloudy and unattractive, incomparable to Evanson Eastland's naturally violet eyes. A space pirate once offered a staggering 500 billion star coins for Evanson's life, but the Sixth Star System Legion ultimately destroyed his entire stronghold.

From that time on, any Zerg organ that resembled one of Evanson Eastland's organs was sold for exorbitant prices: eyes, hair, Zerg cores...

So it's no wonder that the female insect Eros, who resembles Evanson Eastland, is so popular with the males.

It's at least very expensive.
