Yan Kai blinked a few times, and after his eyes adjusted to the light, he sat up, pressing his forehead.

All he saw was a strange expanse of white. There were many young men in white coats with short hair standing around him, and they all gave him strange looks when he stood up.

Yan Kai licked his lips blankly, momentarily mistaking it for a hospital on Earth. But when his gaze fell upon their brightly colored heads, he was abruptly pulled back to reality.

Wender put away the medical record book, put the pen in his coat pocket, walked to the male insect's side, and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Lord Yan Kai?" (respectful tone)

Yan Kai recognized the voice and turned to look at him. The man was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had light brown hair, which matched his pupils perfectly. He was not as tall as the people around him, but he was not petite either, making it difficult for Yan Kai to determine whether it was a male or female insect.

After a slight hesitation, she nodded to him and said, "Hello."

I was still a little dazed when I woke up, but I didn't forget that I was with Knox. How did I end up here?

Wender could see his confusion, and with a friendly smile, he explained considerately, "Time travel is extremely fast, which can easily cause vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, and other problems. A short rest will do the trick."

Yan Kai nodded, remaining vigilant: "Where's Knox?"

"His Highness has some matters to attend to and will arrive later. You can rest here without worry."

"here it is?"

“Morbis Gene Research Institute, my name is Wendell, and I am the head here.”

Yan Kai raised his head, his gaze sweeping past the man in front of him and around him. Various instruments and testing equipment were placed around him.

This reminded me of the request Knox had made earlier.

Having grown up in this world, Yan Kai naturally understood the principle that there is no such thing as a free lunch. He had no relation to these insects, so why would they take such a big risk to help him if they didn't have something in mind?

"What price?"

Knox has a very deceptive appearance; he always has a smile on his lips and his eyes are curved, giving people the impression that he is very easy to get along with.

He waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, we're not bad insects and we won't hurt you. We just want you to do us a favor."

"It's alright, please feel free to make any requests."

He's all alone now, and there's nothing he wouldn't give up except his life.

“I will take you away from here, but you must stay in Morbis for a year and provide a blood sample every month. I will arrange everything to ensure you live a comfortable life there.”

Yan Kai looked up and met the male insect's gaze directly, asking in confusion, "Why do we need a blood sample?"

We should ask more questions, lest we fall into another wolf's den as soon as we leave one.

Knox had no intention of hiding anything, explaining, "Don't be nervous, we're doing everything legal and compliant. As you probably know, the biggest problem facing all our tribes right now is the imbalance between the male and female ratios."

As the most developed capital city on the entire continent, Morbis has seen a continuous increase in birth rate, but the number of male insect offspring remains extremely low. To effectively increase the number of offspring, we established a dedicated genetic research institute to collect various advanced male and female genes for in vitro mating. After numerous experimental combinations, we were surprised to discover that the insect eggs were initially genderless upon successful gene combination. This indicates that it is a controllable process, but…”

Knox suddenly stopped. When they first discovered this, they were excited, thinking they had finally discovered the secret of the Zerg's rebirth. However, as one newly formed insect egg after another died, and even those that survived were mostly deformed, neither male nor female, and lacked the organs to identify their sex. Most of them did not live more than a month. Reality gave them a rude awakening.

This road is completely impassable.

Even after creating an environment identical to the female insect's abdominal cavity and arranging for the male insect to provide mental comfort, those little lives still quietly departed in the end.

At that time, the entire research institute was immersed in a strange and heavy atmosphere; they were both anxious and powerless.

While other races possessed technologies that were already highly refined, these insectoid beings faced immense difficulties. Forget external sex selection; even fertilization was impossible. They once doubted themselves, wondering if their insect god no longer wished for offspring, and if the entire insectoid race would automatically vanish into the annals of history…

Yan Kai got the gist of it, and to summarize, they wanted to develop artificial insemination, but it seemed the results weren't very good. But what did that have to do with drawing his blood?

To be honest, as an outsider, it's questionable whether his bloodline has mutated.

"What direct relation does this have to the blood sample I provided?"

Knox snapped out of his reverie, his smile fading slightly, a hint of worry creeping into his eyes, and continued, "We originally wanted to solve the problem once and for all, but it's clearly much more difficult than we thought, though it's not entirely without its gains."

In our subsequent experiments, we found that the eggs produced by the mating of higher male and higher female insects had an extremely high survival rate, but they could not develop their sex on their own. Later, considering that the development of the insect offspring required a lot of mental support, I personally participated in the experiment, and finally the insect eggs were successfully hatched. You have seen them, they are called Noel.

However, this method is no different from conception inside the female insect, and it also places a much higher demand on the male insect's mental strength.

The number of high-grade male insects that exist is small; most are grade B or C, and very few are actually useful.

Therefore, we overturned our previous research and proposed creating a mental environment for higher male insects, which is similar to simulating the reproductive cavity of female insects.

I am a Grade A male insect, and after many experiments, the results have been very mediocre.

Of Morbis's only two male S-type insects, one is the current queen insect whose spiritual power has declined, and the other is the next queen insect with a noble status.

We had to resort to this measure because we could only obtain too few samples.

Of course, that's not all; the research institute is also trying to find ways to alleviate the estrus cycle of female insects.

The blood of higher-level male insects also contains spiritual energy. We are currently researching whether we can purify, replicate, and quantify this spiritual energy gene to fundamentally alleviate the estrus cycle of female insects. Therefore, your blood sample is exceptionally valuable.

Yan Kai listened with a vague understanding, and immediately felt that these insects in front of him were incredibly awesome.

As long as he doesn't rip him off, he'll just consider the blood loss each month as a way to improve blood circulation; he doesn't care at all. In the end, he shrugged and agreed.

Seeing the male insect's nervous appearance, Wender had his assistant pour him a glass of water and handed it to him, reassuring him, "Don't worry, we won't do anything disrespectful to you without your consent."

Yan Kai took the water and drank a sip, not paying much attention: "It's no problem to get it now, it was agreed upon anyway."

Wender had been waiting for these words. He took out the blood-drawing tool from the silver iron plate next to him and smiled brightly: "Lord Yan Kai is truly a considerate male insect."

Yan Kai was about to put down his water glass and roll up his sleeves when he saw that the other person was holding a syringe as thick as a child's arm, and his mind went blank.

His eyelids twitched violently. Was it too late to take back what he had just said?

On the other side, Longkoda.

After a few sunny days following the blazing fire, the endless snowstorm returned.

Alya pressed on relentlessly, while Yalta remained stubbornly unyielding. The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither emerging from the interrogation room for several days.

Nolan didn't show it on the surface, but after all, he was her father. He had been locked up for three whole days, and despite pulling many strings, not a single piece of information had leaked out. How could he not be worried?

He wanted to find Tokar to sound him out, but every time that female insect saw him, she would run away as fast as a snow leopard in the far north!

Today, he simply stood guard at the door of the female insect's room, determined not to fail to catch her!

Tokar pushed open the door and saw the male insect squatting in the snow, and rolled his eyes.

I cursed inwardly, "It's like a persistent ghost."

"Is something wrong?"

Nolan waited for a long time, his shoulders covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, but he didn't care. He stood up, his face a little pale.

"What does the leader intend to do with my female father?"

Tokar rolled his eyes again as he thought of the two female insects fighting fiercely in the interrogation room.

"Nothing, just wait."

Nolan trusted Tokar, and upon hearing his reply, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, flashed a sincere smile at the female insect, and said, "Thank you."

Tokar frowned slightly, a strange feeling crossing his mind.

For the first time ever, I found that this male insect's smile was actually quite handsome...

Alas!

It's terrible!

Stay away from male insects, and you'll die a peaceful and early death!

Tokar suddenly turned around, leaped onto the roof, and ran away.

Nolan, who still wants to pose in the snow: ...?

very good!

This female insect has completely ignited his competitive spirit!

He swore in the name of the insect god that if he could not obtain Tokar in this lifetime, he would live out his days alone!

The fleeing Toral had no idea that a certain male insect had already prepared to be a solitary widow for him. He hurried to the palace gate, where Elke was already waiting in full formal attire.

He slowed his pace, straightened his slightly disheveled military uniform, walked up to the female insect and asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"

"ten minutes."

Who came this time?

"Cartel."

"Hey, it's that old guy!"

Elke remained silent, reaching out to catch a falling snowflake. Sensing something amiss, he looked up and saw a squadron of White Tiger Flying Cavalry bursting forth from the border of the far north sea, their roar shaking the heavens.

His expression darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "They're here."

Tokar followed the female insect's gaze, gripped the laser gun at his waist, and said coolly, "Wow, this is quite an arrogant display."
