EROS [Zerg]

Eros was already quite impressed that a male insect could reach this level, so he couldn't help but glance at Pomi a few more times.

Upon realizing he hadn't been eliminated from the competition, Permi breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he felt an insect looking at him. He turned his head and saw a beautiful female insect with platinum curly hair, its large, beautiful violet eyes staring at him curiously.

This was the first time that Pomi had been seen by such a beautiful female insect. Her originally fair face immediately flushed red. She smiled shyly at the female insect, then turned her head away shyly, not daring to look at her again.

"Hmph, I told you he was a promiscuous female insect, his nature as a prostitute hasn't changed, he's seducing male insects everywhere."

Sitting in the stands, the young male Ellie picked up the drink specially provided for male insects on the small table in front of him, took a sip, and arrogantly glanced at the young male Kam sitting next to him.

Kam felt incredibly unlucky. How could Eros possibly run into this annoying little male during a competition?

Also, why is Eros looking at that D-rank male insect? He already has his own, so why is he smiling at other male insects?

Kam was consumed by jealousy, but that didn't stop him from hating Ellie and speaking up for his female insect.

“Eros isn’t the kind of bad female insect. It’s not surprising that male insects like Eros, who is so beautiful. It would be strange if they didn’t like him. Besides, my female insect is so beautiful. She’ll be even more beautiful if she smiles more!”

After saying that, Kame gestured meaningfully towards Ellie with his lip.

"Tch." Ellie looked at the big screen, where Eros's name was at the very top. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked Little Cam, "Since your female insects are so good, your taste must be pretty good too."

"So why do you think he would like you? Why would he be willing to become a female insect like you, a C-grade male?"

Eli's two sentences left Cameron completely bewildered.

“Because I am also a very good male insect…” A moment of confusion appeared in Kam’s eyes.

"What makes you so great?" Ellie looked at Camus with disdain. "I'm an S-class male insect. How can you compare to me?"

“And him.” Ellie pointed to the male insect Pomi in the arena. “Although he is only a D-level male insect, he can attract the attention of the female insect you like just by standing there and using his strength.”

What about you? What do you have?

Cameron couldn't find anything about himself that the insect could like, but, "Eros likes me, he must like me, he always says I'm cute!"

Upon hearing this reason, Ellie couldn't help but roll her eyes, abandoning all composure: "He didn't even want to give a reason, just used 'cute' to brush you off, and you actually believed it."

"Maybe after he says you're cute, he'll actually think you're super annoying!"

"You're not Eros, how would you know he doesn't like me?!" Kam felt a little wronged and angry. "You're the least liked male insect! Male insects like you who always assume the worst about other insects are the most annoying!"

After saying that, Kam covered her ears with her little paws, pretending not to listen to what Ellie was saying.

On the field, Eros and the other four contestants advanced to the final match.

Making it into the top five of the competition has already met Eros's expectations.

When the final random competition was presented to the five insects, a brief look of surprise appeared on the faces of the participants.

The last match was a team event.

The competition requires several participants to form teams, with each team consisting of at least two insects. In the final round, which lasts two stars, teams must design a high-precision mechanical drawing that meets the specified requirements within the allotted time.

The final score for the military machinery design blueprints will be determined by the Empire, allocated according to the contribution of each of their insectoids to the design, and their scores will be included in the final ranking.

Eros quickly realized what was happening and was the first to extend his claws to the male insect, inviting Pomi to team up with him.

"Let's team up as a team for this competition, since we're both insects."

Permi quickly realized that Eros wanted to take the opportunity to team up with the two insects ahead of time, so she immediately agreed.

In the design of military machinery, the biggest taboo is having too many opinions and not reaching a consensus. Since points are allocated according to contributions to the design, it is natural to have fewer members, and the participants who play a core design role will receive more points. Disunity is most likely to occur in multi-member team designs.

Eros was impressed by the male insect's excellent performance and thought that no matter which insect was used as the core design of the blueprint, his group's performance would not be too bad.

After the two very fast insects teamed up, they went to collect their equipment, leaving the other three insects behind from the very beginning.

The next three contestants were still standing there in a daze. They had just been wondering whether to invite Eros or that D-level male insect.

Although they acknowledged Pomi's abilities, they were still worried that if this male insect had a bad temper and things didn't go their way, it would be a minor matter if it ruined their competition; the worst thing would be if it reported them to the Male Insect Protection Association, which would cause them a lot of trouble.

No one expected that Eros would be the first insect to strike, and that he would invite the male insect.

This round of competition did not set any limits on the direction, theme, or elements of military machinery design, allowing participants to freely express themselves.

To avoid wasting time, Eros and Perme agreed that Perme would first select two ranges, and then Eros would choose one of them as the design direction for their competition.

Permi was surprisingly easy to get along with and quickly outlined two directions: one was mechs and warships with offensive capabilities, and the other was transport and reconnaissance machinery with auxiliary capabilities.

After a moment's thought, Eros chose the latter, explaining that he had found videos of many past competitions on the new website, and most of the designs involved mechs with strong offensive capabilities.

In the previous match, Eros saw that the opponent's score was not much different from his own, which showed that their strengths were comparable.

Therefore, to win, you need to differentiate yourself through innovation.

Just as Eros was about to discuss with Pomi where to find templates and how to improve them, he noticed a troubled look on Pomi's face.

"What's wrong?" Eros asked promptly.

Permi's face flushed red, and she pointed embarrassedly at the design computer that Eros had given her, stammering, "I don't understand this. I've never used this kind of high-tech before."

"What??!"

For a moment, Eros thought his ears were broken.
