Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

Adrian read a couple of lines, then pondered the contents of the book for a while, only to find that he couldn't figure out anything useful.

He paused for a moment, then turned to look at Gouqiechoingsheng: "To be honest, I'm not well-educated, so I don't quite understand it."

Pretending not to hear Adrian's words, it spun around once, then put away the red light and began to absorb energy.

Seeing that the cowardly survivors had no intention of paying attention to him, Adrian had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue reading.

[When will the dawn break? The smoke of battle will wash away the wall of despair. Fight! Warriors from afar! Rise and fight! We are indomitable, our spirits will never die! Sound the horns, offer our bodies to the Insect King!]

Adrian stared at it for a while and felt that the contents resembled an oath.

Before going to war, the female soldiers swear an oath to the Zerg King. The Zerg now have twelve legions, each with different insignia and symbols, and their oaths also vary.

The oath of office of the Seventh Army, commanded by Morris, was very brief. Adrian once saw him on a military-themed program.

Morris then knelt on one knee before the Insect King, placed his hand on his chest, and swore, "Your Majesty, victory and love are with you."

The entire ceremony, lasting less than five seconds, quickly concluded. As for the other legions, their oaths were longer than those of the Seventh Legion.

Although there were many sentences, the overall tone was calm. Adrian had never seen an oath as emotionally charged as the one in the book.

[To the distant lands...to the distant lands! The desolate star will be our final resting place. Insect God, please guide me. On the day of victory in the war, when the covenant is forged.]

Adrian flipped through the pages.

War rages on, I defend my insectoid home. Will the Insect God grant me a heart of compassion...?

Adrian flipped through the pages.

"…May the Insect God protect me, I will go to farther places. I will bring victory to every barren and ravaged land. I pity these homeless children, poor children…"

Adrian flipped through the pages.

In just ten minutes, Adrian flipped through thirty or forty pages. This insect seemed to be saying nothing; aside from the Insect God, it hadn't mentioned any other male or female insects from the beginning.

Adrian mentally summarized the contents of the conversation, which boiled down to two things: war and the protection of the insect god.

It's useless, and can't even be used to determine the sex of the insect.

Adrian continued flipping through the pages.

[...The female's tragedy lies with the male, with his mental turmoil. I wish to be buried on a distant battlefield, spared from this torment and suffering.]

The Insect God guided me—the male insect is not entirely useless. When I am free from suffering, my lord will await me in the future.

It seems to be a female insect. Adrian thought to himself, and it's very likely a female military insect.

Sub-females are small in stature and rarely participate in military battles. The recurring battles in the book at least prove that this female insect is a highly experienced military female.

However, Adrian was still unsure of his position within the legion. The military numbered in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of female soldiers; Adrian couldn't possibly search for them one by one.

Adrian frowned, twirling the black pen in his hand. Before he could figure it out, he was startled by a loud sound suddenly popping up on the personal terminal.

The constant, ear-piercing DJ music gave Adrian a dull headache. In his past life, he had been obsessed with rock music during this period, buying himself a drum set and guitar, but after practicing for two days without much success, he shifted his attention elsewhere.

But the DJ sound in the personal terminal hasn't changed.

Adrian glanced at the caller ID. It was a business number; Adrian had set a special nickname for it, marking it as an aircraft expert.

Adrian answered the call via his personal computer.

"Your Excellency Adrian, the Supreme Deluxe Super-Large Aircraft you ordered from our store three months ago has arrived. When would you like to pick it up?"

A standard customer service voice came from the other end. Adrian, who was not in much spirits, was surprised and immediately stood up from the sofa after hearing the customer service bug's official words.

"Really?! I'll come and get it right away!" Adrian quickly replied.

"Okay, sir, we have sent the location to your personal computer. Happy shopping!"

Adrian turned off his personal terminal, went upstairs to find his garage key, straightened his tie in front of the mirror, and prepared to leave.

Still somewhat bewildered, it huddled in Adrian's shirt pocket and spun around, asking, "Where are you going?"

Adrian walked downstairs and said, "The aircraft I ordered last month has arrived. I'm going to pick it up."

"Surviving in ignominy": "?"

"Is this aircraft important? You haven't even finished reading your book yet!"

“I’ve been looking at it for half an hour, now I need to rest.” Adrian tossed the keychain in his hand with one hand.

He boasted to Gouqie, "Little Gou, do you know how hard it is to get that supreme deluxe version of the large spaceship? There are only three limited editions in the entire Zerg race. I did my homework for half a year before I finally got my hands on it."

To live a life of ignominy: "..."

“Adrian, do I need to remind you? You already experienced this huge flying machine in your past life, there’s absolutely no need for you to waste time retrieving it in this life.”

“No way.” Adrian shook his head and refused, saying seriously, “There are plenty of bugs eyeing this aircraft, I want to retrieve it myself.”

To live a life of ignominy: "..."

He definitely wants to run away and have fun! After testing Adrian's various physical indicators, his fun factor reached 97 points, while Pei Du only had 3 points. Together, they only reached 100.

In less than a day, Adrian couldn't sit still and wanted to run around outside.

He crouched in Adrian's jacket pocket, trying to survive, and shrank his size to conceal his presence.

He felt inexplicably worried about Adrian and his own future.

Adrian's garage contained nearly a hundred aircraft, all different colors, and covered with several flashy Zerg-themed stickers.

These stickers were specially made by Adrian from female insects he found on the StarNet, based on his own image: white hair, green eyes, chibi style, and a somewhat inexplicably comical appearance when standing still in leather clothes.

To live a life of ignominy: "..."

Adrian finally chose a bright red flying vehicle to go out. The interior of this deep red flying vehicle was also decorated entirely in red. By adjusting the brightness of the lights, he could avoid being easily detected by the insects.

Adrian boarded the aircraft, entered the store address from his personal terminal into the aircraft, and skillfully activated autopilot.

The store was quite far from Adrian's villa; Adrian calculated the time, and it was nearly half an hour away.
