EROS [Zerg]

Eros looked at Rand, whose face was deathly pale, with a puzzled expression.

He didn't understand why Admiral Rand was so obedient.

Before coming to the Sixth Star System Legion, he had almost exhausted all the female insect data of the high-ranking officers of the Sixth Star System Legion that could be found on the Star Network.

This also includes Rand's previous videos and achievements. No matter how you look at it, she was a decisive and ruthless female insect. Why has she become like this now?

"You're bullying the bug." Eros looked at the little boy in his arms with reproachful eyes. "I don't want to hold you anymore."

Luo Lan blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Why? I didn't bully the bug."

As he spoke, he blew on Eros's shoulder, which he had just punched: "I didn't mean to bully you."

“I didn’t say you bullied me, you bullied him.” Eros glanced at Rand, who was about to leave with the doctor. “You stole the other insect’s milk and bullied his female…mother.”

"No!" Luo Lan's eyes widened, her small mouth pursed tightly, her cheeks trembling slightly as she spoke, both angry and aggrieved: "Luo Lan is a good child, she would never bully the weak!"

Eros nuzzled Luo Lan's hair with its paw at the opportune moment: "How about you drink the nutrient solution today and drink milk tomorrow? When you grow up, you can eat other, more delicious things."

Luo Lan felt very comfortable being stroked by Eros, so she pouted, wiggled her butt on the female insect's arm, and said, "Okay."

Rand paused in his steps, staring in surprise at Eros, at the upward curve of Eros's lips. For a moment, the image in his memory overlapped with what was before him.

Rand opened his mouth silently, but in the end, he pursed his lips tightly.

After finally getting Luo Lan to sleep, while the doctors were busy studying the male insect offspring's physical condition, Eros was called out by Rand.

"Admiral?"

Eros stared in astonishment at the star card that Rand handed him.

"What are you doing?"

Rand held a card wrapped in a black paper package, raising it forlornly in mid-air: "There are two hundred thousand star coins inside, as a thank you for helping me out of that predicament earlier."

Eros stared at the black star card in front of him, silently pondering whether this was a test from Admiral Rand or a friendly release.

“I only said a few words; I can’t afford such a large sum of money in return.” Eros did not accept.

"What do you want?" Rand's voice was a little colder. He didn't believe that Eros was a low-desire female insect. The reason she didn't take the 20 was probably because she didn't like it.

Eros couldn't figure out what Rand was thinking, and he couldn't tell if Rand was trying to get him to join his side or just playing a trick on him. But then he thought that it wouldn't be too embarrassing for an intern to show a little greed and be rejected. If his request was granted, he would be making a huge profit.

Thinking this through, Eros encouraged himself and tentatively looked at Rand:

"General, could you reserve one of the remaining military positions for the Sixth Star System Legion this year for me?"

Each year, each major interstellar legion allocates one or two positions to interns from the Imperial Military Academy who are assigned to various military departments; these are the positions for those who remain in the military.

Rand was a little surprised that Eros would ask for the spot so bluntly, mainly because Eros's appearance was almost a clone of Evanson Eastland, even the light mole on his ear was in the same place.

Evanson Eastland would never make such a request; he would simply eliminate all his rivals who dared to compete with him, leaving them no hope whatsoever.

Rand looked at Eros, whose eyes were filled with anticipation, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. He slipped the Star Card into the pocket of Eros's uniform, his eyes filled with contemptuous mockery: "You're not qualified for that spot."

Eros's face turned pale. He could accept being rejected for his request because it was not aboveboard, but he found it hard to accept being judged as unqualified.

Eros looked disappointed and remained frozen in place until Rand left.

“How could I not be qualified…” Eros bit his lower lip, his claws clenching tightly. “I tried so hard.”

"I will prove that I am a good enough female insect." Eros looked at the thick calluses worn on his claws, closed his eyes tightly, and shook the sad emotions out of his mind.

If he can become the best among the interns who have come to the Sixth Star System Legion, he can prove that he deserves it.

Eros was fed up with his life of blending into the crowd. On the surface, he was a well-behaved female insect who did not compete or fight, but only he knew that he was quite greedy and wanted everything.

He was fed up with the pity, the pity, the contempt, and the disdain.

Eros knew very well that what he wanted was unshakeable power, and he also knew that what he wanted would not be so easy to obtain.

To stand out among the best female insects in the academy, it's absolutely not enough to just do low-level, meaningful but unremarkable things.

Thinking of this, Eros gently hooked the star card that Rand had slipped into his military uniform pocket with his claws.

Looking at the star card in his hand worth 200,000 star coins, which is equivalent to a lieutenant's basic salary for a year, it can be said to be a considerable fortune.

Eros was a man of action; he took the money that very day to bribe his way into a position as an assistant in the command headquarters.

Although working as an assistant in the command center mostly involves trivial tasks and offers little opportunity to get involved in core matters during peacetime, Eros still spotted this opportunity immediately.

Working at the command post, even if you're just doing odd jobs there, you can often become familiar with various departments within the military. If you're good with words and quick on your feet, you can sometimes even get some firsthand information.

When Rand saw Eros at the command post, he was clearly surprised: "What are you doing here?"

Eros then revealed his usual obedient smile: "Lord Luo Lanxiong no longer needs me as a translator, so I want to find something to do."

"Aren't you very dissatisfied? I said you're not qualified?" Rand looked at the files that Eros was organizing and suddenly spoke up to challenge him.

"how come?"

Eros's lips curled inward slightly, his smile shy and harmless: "Since I'm not qualified, I should work harder to make myself qualified so as not to let myself down."

“You didn’t understand what I meant.” Rand looked at Eros’s stupid and naive face: “You’re not qualified. You were destined to be unqualified from the moment you were born. If you could look at female insects like Kirkland and Orton more, you would understand where you fall short.”

Eros paused, then nodded with difficulty: "I will learn more from them."

Kirkland and Orton, one comes from the Kavenor family, and the other comes from the Dedra family behind the Dales Insect Emperor.

In short, they were all from prestigious and prominent families.

Eros finally understood what Rand meant by "not qualified".

Family background.

Both the Kavenor and the Dedra family are distant and insurmountable peaks for Eros at present.
