EROS [Zerg]

"Owned by a male insect?" Eros was somewhat surprised. What could a male insect do with this mech, which was the most technologically advanced mech of the Imperial insect race?

Brandt looked at the data of the various mecha parts on the screen: "They're probably just stored away collecting dust."

Eros opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time. Although he couldn't accept the fate of the Crimson Corona gathering dust in his collection, it was, after all, another insect's mecha, and he had no right to comment.

"It's a pity," Eros could only say.

"No need to feel sorry. Apart from Evanson Eastland, no other bug in this world will be able to utilize the capabilities of this mech to their fullest potential."

"Being sealed away without a kindred spirit is not such a bad ending." Brandt calmly looked at the screen, at the result of his hard work.

"The task of manufacturing mechs is the mission of military mechanics; the task of unleashing the full potential of mechs is the mission of the pilots."

"As a military mechanic, my task is complete once this mech is built. I don't need to interfere with its future fate."

Eros nodded: "Even so, I still feel it's a pity."

"If you want to collect it, all you need is an empty shell. Why waste so much money, resources and energy?"

"Actually, it's not too wasteful. If you can win the 'Obsidian Black' in the Imperial Insect Star Military Machinery Competition, then you'll be the one to operate the third test drive of the [Crimson Corona]." Brandt chuckled and tossed a large gold brick to Eros: "You'd better try your best. This kind of opportunity is rare. After this, you may never have the chance to drive it again in your life."

"I can pilot it?" Eros looked at the design blueprints of the Crimson Corona on the screen, his gaze gradually becoming intense.

Few female insects have the courage to resist the allure of advanced mechs, and Eros is no exception.

Eros doesn't own a single mech right now, and he feels incredibly envious every time he sees the female insects in the mech training grounds piloting their own mechs.

When Brandt told him that he had a chance to pilot a mech that embodied the highest level of Zerg technology, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Eros, who hadn't expected to even place in the competition, suddenly developed a strong desire to win first place.

Eros knew very well that even if a female insect like him tried her whole life, she would probably just be buried in an ordinary insect swarm.

But now he can study at the best university in the entire empire, and be taught knowledge and skills by the best military mechanics. Now he also has the opportunity to come into contact with mechs that represent the highest level of technology in the entire empire.

He didn't want to give up this opportunity at all.

Eros was unwilling to live an ordinary life. After crawling out of the hell of sin and gradually witnessing the beauty of the world, his heart was no longer at peace. The heart that was locked in his chest began to greedily crave a new world and higher levels of stimulation.

"I definitely will!" Eros's attitude became serious, his fist clenched and pressed against his chest: "Thank you so much for the opportunity you gave me, teacher. I will do my best to accomplish this."

“We’re starting to see some hope.” Brandt patted Eros on the shoulder. “It couldn’t be better.”

“You are the most hardworking and talented student I have ever seen.” Brandt gave him his highest praise without reservation: “If you can continue like this, I guarantee that Evenson Eastland’s glory will pale in comparison to yours.”

Upon hearing this, Eros gasped. He hadn't expected Brandt to praise his performance so highly, comparing him to Evanson Eastland. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

“Eros, Evanson isn’t omnipotent. Every insect has a chance to surpass him.” Brandt looked at Eros with a hint of nostalgia for his old friend: “He was very powerful, but he wasn’t a hindrance or a destination for other insects’ progress. He was more like a springboard.”

“Eros, you should stand on the foundation of his achievements and look to the higher sky, instead of being intimidated by his accomplishments and thinking that you can only follow in his footsteps.” Brandt looked at Eros’s youthful face: “You still have a very, very long way to go.”

“I understand, please rest assured.” Eros’s eyes were full of determination. He wanted to say something more, but then his terminal suddenly flashed a few times.

Eros looked down and saw that it was Rioli, whom he had just added as a communication friend.

[Eros, where have you been? Get online now, or you won't finish your homework!!!]

Eros thought to himself that this little female was really full of energy; even the messages she sent seemed to have a voice.

Rioli kept urging him, so Eros had no choice but to crawl into the egg-shaped chamber and enter the virtual training field to join the "Fight to the Death" team that the little female Rioli had mentioned.

Brandt watched Eros crawl into the egg chamber and took out an encrypted paper report from a drawer.

The gene alignment result above is 98.7%.

Brandt thought about what happened the day Eros first entered the egg chamber to experience virtual training, and then looked at the genetic report in his hand.

He recalled what his friend at the Imperial Institute of Technology had told him: "Genetic testing is a very unstable technology for the Zerg, who are constantly undergoing genetic elimination. The maximum error is generally between 2% and 3%."

"The two sets of genetic similarity data you gave me are enough to prove that these two insects are the same insect. Are you kidding me?"

……

"I guess I'll only ever be a third-rate military mechanic, just trying to make a living. How could I possibly shine as brightly as you, like the morning star in the night sky?" The apprentice female looked at the female insect sitting on the branch of a tree in the Royal Garden with envy and resentment in her eyes.

Brandt came to the royal banquet at Sepoliu Castle with his senior. As a sub-female who was disliked among the female insects, he was often asked what he was there for.

Brandt explained that he was there to be his senior's apprentice, but most of the female insects were more interested in the fact that a sub-female had chosen a job that female insects were more suited to.

Unable to bear the gazes of the female insects around him, Brandt found a free moment and went elsewhere.

The layout of Sepoliu Fortress is very complex, and it is easy to get lost if you are not familiar with the terrain or do not have insects to guide you.

Brandt got lost while wandering around, and unknowingly ended up in the Royal Gardens.

"What are you doing here, little sub-female?"

A clear and pleasant sound came from above.

Brandt looked up and saw a white figure sitting on the branch of a tall plant.

The white military uniform makes the female insect visible even at night.

Brandt immediately recognized the insect he had encountered as none other than the dazzling Imperial Major General Evanson Eastland who had just stood out among the insect swarm.

"Don't be like that." The purple-eyed female insect sitting on the tree branch looked down at the little sub-female who had wandered into the garden because she got lost: "You are the most unique sub-female I have ever seen. You have a very long road ahead of you. You can't think that you've reached the end just because you met me today, can you?"

Evanson Eastland jumped down from the tree branch and walked a few steps to Brandt, who was still an apprentice.

Unlike his aloof demeanor in public, the Evanson that Brandt met was a rather cheerful female insect with a handsome and sweet smile.

This made it impossible for Brandt to associate the female insect in front of him with the rumored cold-blooded and cruel female insect generals.

"You think I'm amazing? You can't become an insect as amazing as me?"

"Please don't think like that. If my past achievements make other insects lose hope for the future, then I will become a sinful insect of the empire."

"You say you want to be a military mechanic? Then go for it!"

"What? You're saying this job is only suitable for female insects?"

"Haha, that's true, but it's your dream, and there's no rule that says sub-females can't become military mechanics."

"You must believe that you will become an excellent military mechanic. I also hope that one day I can pilot the mechs you develop to expand the empire's territory."
