EROS [Zerg]

The Zerg are a very warlike race.

In the Zerg Empire, all Zerglings, except for males, including weak sub-female Zerglings and some born disabled female Zerglings, receive militarized training.

Because the number of offspring is decreasing year by year, the government of the Insect Planet Empire has to tap into the potential of each insect as much as possible.

When Eros returned to his room, he received the registration form.

Application Form for the Comet Class, First Military Academy of the Imperial Main Star

Eros quickly learned how to use the terminal by following the instructions. He searched for the Imperial Primeval Military Academy on the StarNet, and the results surprised him greatly.

The First Military Academy of the Empire's main star is the most prestigious military academy in the entire Zerg Empire. Almost all of the Zerg's colonel-level officers are trained by this academy, making it the ultimate military school that almost every female military officer aspires to attend.

Eros suddenly realized that the opportunity to enroll in school that Commander Enl had arranged for him must have taken a lot of effort.

Ordinary insect larvae only need to complete the first year of their studies to graduate from military academy, continue their studies, and participate in social work.

However, Eros could clearly sense that Enl didn't want him to only complete the first-year learning tasks.

It's important to know that admission to the First Military Academy on the Empire's main star is not easy to obtain.

Eros didn't want to disappoint Enel, so he was already planning and arranging for the future.

En'er never stayed overnight at home. After giving Eros some important instructions, En'er held Kam and played with the little boy on the sofa for a while before handing the now-sleepy Kam over to Eros.

“Eros, Kam’s vacation is coming to an end. He should finish his studies at the Male Insect Academy before he goes there. Once Kam goes to the Male Insect Academy, you will have a lot of free time.”

"Now that you have citizenship on Insect Planet, you can get a library card at the public library. You've lost your previous memories, so your understanding of modern society is incomplete. I hope you can spend more time reading at the library. This will help you better adapt to the outside world and prepare for the military training you'll be receiving in six months."

Eros nodded in agreement.

When Ener saw Eros off at the door, Ener told Eros that he would take Eros to the hospital for a physical examination in a few days, because there were very strict physical examination standards for female insects to enter school, and if Eros had any unqualified indicators, he would need to be treated as soon as possible.

Eros was deeply moved by Enel's care and concern. Enel was the first insect in his memory to show him kindness, and also the kindest insect to him.

After Enel left, Eros put Kam into his sleep capsule. Just as Eros was about to let go, a small insect claw grabbed his fingertip.

Camus, her eyes brimming with tears, held Eros's fingertips: "Eros, can I sleep with you?"

"What's wrong, little boy? You usually sleep by yourself, right?" Eros crouched down to look the little boy, who was lying in the sleep capsule, at eye level and asked with concern.

“I thought my father-in-law would sleep with me.” The little boy, who was usually cheerful, was now tearful and dejected. “He’s always so busy, so busy. I know he’s busy, but I really want him to spend more time with me.”

Eros looked at the crying and heartbroken little boy and couldn't bear to leave his insect offspring in the room.

So Eros picked up the little boy and carried him into his guest room.

The guest room was nowhere near as nice as the sleep capsules in Kameo, but the little boy just clung to Eros and wouldn't let go.

Seeing how sticky the little boy was with the insects, Eros suddenly became a little worried: "Card?"

"What's wrong, Eros?" Kamehameha held Eros's beautiful platinum blonde hair in his hand and looked up to meet Eros's worried gaze.

"Kamo, don't go to sleep with other female insects when you leave the house." Eros's expression became awkward. After hesitating for a while, the female insect told the little male about the various stories of little males being abducted that she had seen on the StarNet: "If Kamo is captured and hurt by bad insects, Commander Enl and I will be very sad and upset."

The little male looked up at the female insect's big, worried eyes and wondered how there could be such an innocent female insect. Even a three-year-old boy couldn't be fooled by those melodramatic movie plots, yet this adult female insect was still afraid.

Where did the male find such a beautiful and innocent female insect?

"Slurp—" Kam wiped her mouth and buried her head in Eros's chest, rubbing her head against the part of the little bug that the female bug liked the most: "Then Eros, you must protect Kam well."

“I heard that the insects captured by space pirates are killed and dissected by the pirates, their cores are removed, and they are made into specimens. Sometimes they even cut off the flesh of the smaller insects and eat it.” Kamehameha pretended to be scared and hugged Eros, sniffling, “Eros, I’m scared.”

This was the second time Eros had heard the name "space pirate"; the first time was when he was rescued from the Pluto Trading House, before he lost consciousness.

Those must be bad things.

The female insect lowered her eyes; her once innocent violet eyes now held a coldness that made her seem like a completely different insect.

Eros hugged the trembling little boy tightly and swore fiercely to the imaginary enemy in his mind: "If they dare to come near Kama, Eros promises to tear them to pieces."

"Yes, Eros is the best!" The little male nestled against the female's full breasts, overjoyed.

He wanted to leave his scent on the female insect so that other male insects would know that the female insect belonged to someone else.

Immature males have underdeveloped glands and lack pheromones to mark females.

Kamehameha reached out a claw and gently touched the gland on the back of Eros's neck. When he came of age, he would mark the female insect deeply here, so that Eros would always be his!

If a female insect is touched on the back of her neck glands, she will become very agitated. If a male insect injects her with pheromones at this time, she will quickly enter a state of estrus and being marked.

Kam felt the glands on the back of Eros's neck for a long time but didn't find any signs of agitation from the female insect. He wondered why this was different from what he had been taught in physiology class.

Eros didn't know what the little boy's action meant; he thought the little boy was just having fun, so he let him do as he pleased.

His glands were damaged by the drug at the auction. What would take one injection for other female insects might not work even after two injections for him. So Eros's glands were often injected with the drug several times. Over time, the glands under the skin of the female insect's neck became a hard nodule.

Eros hoped that when Kama grew up, he wouldn't be like the male insects he had seen at the auction. Those male insects were lazy, greedy, cruel, narrow-minded, cunning, and short-sighted—all traits that Eros disliked.

With hope and affection, the female insect gently kissed the little male's forehead and tenderly led the little insect into a dream.

The next morning, before the female insect even opened her eyes, she reached out her claws to feel if there were still any baby insects in her arms.

When Eros touched a warm, soft lump of flesh, he opened his eyes with a happy smile. After tucking Camus, who was still not awake, under the covers, he tiptoed out of bed to cook.

Having a little bug cub and being able to sleep with it made Eros feel incredibly happy. He was so happy that he could forget that the little male had once wanted to take him to a male bug party, a place that female bugs would find repulsive.

Thinking of the little insect, Eros subconsciously touched his belly.

He also wanted one of his own insect eggs.

Eros's expression turned dejected. He was unlikely to have any more insect eggs; he had been completely ruined.

Eros found information about pheromone perception disorder syndrome on the StarNet.

A female insect will only suffer from pheromone perception disorder syndrome if she has been exposed to different male insects' pheromones in a short period of time. This condition is often seen in female prostitutes kept in male insect clubs.

Female insects suffering from this disease will gradually lose their ability to perceive pheromones. Over time, the pheromone-soothing efforts of any male insect will have no effect on the affected female insects.

Female insects that cannot sense pheromones cannot receive the comfort of male pheromones and can only endure the pain caused by the mental energy turmoil, watching helplessly as their mental energy gradually collapses.

Among the insectoid race, whose average lifespan is around three hundred years, not a single female insectoid suffering from pheromone disorder syndrome can survive for more than thirty years.

Eros can only live for another thirty years at most.

The female insect calmly accepted this fact; she didn't want to hate it, and all she wanted now was to live a better life.

If he could continue living the same happy life as yesterday, even if he could only live for ten more years, Eros would be happy.

Even a female insect that can only live for thirty years will think about emitting light and heat.

Today is the first day of the new semester at Yuxiong Garden. All male insects who are underage and have entered the Male Insect Academy must first learn the most basic knowledge at Yuxiong Garden.

Eros led Camus by the little paw and took him to the Yuxiong Garden.

"Eros, remember to pick me up after school today, don't forget!" Kam stood at the entrance of Yuxiong Garden and waved to Eros.

Children at Yuxiong Garden go to school at eight o'clock in the morning and leave at sixteen o'clock in the afternoon. The boys there receive very good care.

"Understood." Eros waved to Kam, watching as the little boy walked into the male breeding garden and was taken away by the female teacher who was taking care of him. Only then did Eros turn around to prepare to get a library card.

Following the terminal's navigation, Eros arrived at the library closest to Yuxiong Garden, where the sub-female in charge of issuing library cards was currently taking a nap at the table.

There weren't many insects reading in the library at that time, so Eros didn't wake the sub-female who was catching up on her sleep. He walked into the reading room, lingered in front of the bookshelves a few times, and then took down a copy of "Basic Code of Conduct of the Insect Planet Empire".

The female insect found a spot by the window, picked up the book she had chosen, and the cool breeze from outside stirred up the pages of the book beside her.

Eros took out the paper and pen he had prepared in advance and turned to the first page of "Basic Code of Conduct of the Insectoid Empire".
