Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 96 Interstellar Major General and Top Mental Energy Analyzer 8

The people in the conference room were taken aback by the legion commander's reaction. Could these Zerg corpses really be poisonous? However, before they could react, the legion commander gritted his teeth and swallowed the shrimp meat in his mouth. Swallowing it wasn't a big deal, but he immediately took another bite. Fortunately, this time he was smarter and took a smaller bite.

Seeing how quickly and continuously the legion commander was eating, everyone understood and picked up their chopsticks, carefully tasting the food.

The allure of delicious food lies in its ability to instantly make people forget all their troubles. In any case, the people in the conference room, while eating shrimp, had long forgotten that the meat came from the Zerg.

"Wow, that's too little! One bite each and it's gone! Do you have any left? Please bring some out so we can have some more!"

Shi Shaoyu spread his hands.

"I'm sorry everyone, I really don't have any left here. If you still want to eat, you can go to the border and catch some yourselves. There's plenty of shrimp there, and I can even share all sorts of shrimp cooking methods with you for free."

The legion commander and others...

Shi Shaoyu then added at the opportune moment,

"I've tested all the shrimp meat with instruments before and after cooking, and there are no problems at all. So, everyone... is that the end of our meeting for today?"

And so, the meeting ended in just a few minutes. The problem was that after the meeting, apart from Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu leaving the meeting room, the rest of the people were not in a hurry to leave. They even had an unusually heated "discussion" about who should stay at the base and who should go to the front line.

Those defeated soldiers who finally walked out of the meeting room with bruised faces and limping bodies not only had to endure the ridicule of others but also had to stay at the base on duty. Compared to those who walked out with their heads held high and smiles on their faces, their mentality was worlds apart.

From then on, a craze for eating insect meat swept across the federal border. They not only ate shrimp, but also caught all kinds of insects for Shi Shaoyu to identify. Shi Shaoyu would tell everyone how to cook the ones he recognized as edible, and he would also explain the truth about the ones he didn't recognize or didn't know. Even so, the base canteen regained its former glory and instantly became the most popular place in the entire base.

Not only did the soldiers eat it themselves, but they also sent videos of themselves eating it to their families and friends. Some even spent a lot of money to seal the prepared insect meat and mail it to their families and friends.

These family members and friends then uploaded these videos, along with their own videos of trying them out, to the StarNet, causing an uproar. Opinions were divided. Some said that Ji Han and his border soldiers were cruel, not even sparing the corpses of the Zerg after killing them. Others said that the videos were fake, intended only to alleviate the public's fear of the Zerg. Of course, some people remained inquisitive or wait-and-see.

Two weeks after the news spread, the border base welcomed its first group of merchant ships. Merchant ships had passed through here before, but they were either seeking help or selling goods. This was the first time that merchant ships had come to this desolate border planet to purchase things.

The merchant ship bore the Shi family's emblem, and the leader of the delegation was Brother Shi. Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han made a special trip to personally receive Brother Shi and the other people who came with him.

Shi Shaoyu set aside one of each of the known edible insects for the Shi family members to use for testing. After the initial testing was completed, he personally cooked each insect, determined to make it the most delicious possible.

After the food was served, it underwent a thorough measurement and inspection to ensure everything was in order before being allowed to taste it. Under the expectant gazes of Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, Brother Shi picked up the dish closest to him—deep-fried bee pupae.

The freshly cooked bee pupae are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Dipping them in the special sauce on the side further enhances their freshness and crispy texture.

After finishing one, Brother Shi still felt unsatisfied, so he reached for his chopsticks again. However, before he could even put his chopsticks down, the fried bee pupae on the plate had already been snatched up. After all, the aroma emanating from Shi Shaoyu's cooking was no joke.

The scene that followed was a little chaotic. Everyone present used every trick in the book to get as much food as possible. By the time Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu returned from the kitchen, having eaten their fill, the plates in front of them had been licked clean.

Therefore, on his first trip to the border, Brother Shi signed a very expensive deal with the Ninth Legion. To put it simply, after the deal was signed, the usually stern-faced legion commander had a smile on his face for three days straight, to the point that everyone avoided him afterward because his smile was just too creepy!

After signing the order, Brother Shi and his team did not immediately retreat. Instead, they waited at the base for the first batch of goods they wanted to be delivered fresh. Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han were two of the people who brought the "goods" to them.

The Zerg near the outer perimeter of the front line had long been wiped out by those greedy creatures in the base. If they still wanted Zerg, Ji Han and his team could only venture further into the Zerg territory.

Therefore, the base sent quite a few people to eliminate the Zerg this time. After all, the maps that Shi Shaoyu and his team had of the Zerg on the border were from many years ago. In this rapidly changing era, those maps should have undergone tremendous changes long ago.

Beyond the clear border, the further they went, the less clear the situation became. A thick fog permeated the area year-round, impossible to dissipate or blow away. Shi Shaoyu directed the team to advance cautiously while maintaining constant communication between the team and the outside world, ensuring that anyone who lost contact would be discovered immediately.

Suddenly, a scream came through Shi Shaoyu's communication channel.

"what!"

The cry was very short, and then one of the signal lights went out. Shi Shaoyu immediately ordered the surrounding soldiers to go to the rescue, and he himself rushed in that direction.

"Report: Zerg have launched a sneak attack. We have not yet located their hiding place. Soldier 157 is seriously injured and needs immediate treatment!"

The rescued soldiers quickly sent back feedback. Shi Shaoyu sent the information about the discovery of the Zerg to the public channel, partly to let those around him go to provide immediate support, and partly to remind everyone to be careful, as the Zerg may have strong stealth capabilities, and to be vigilant to prevent being ambushed again.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu quickly arrived at the scene in their mechs. Ji Han immediately exited his mech and checked the extent of Soldier 157's injuries before taking out a medical pod from his spatial storage.

"It's no use, this soldier is too badly injured, he must be taken to the medical bay immediately for treatment."
