At the villa entrance, Yan Kai looked at Wender apologetically, thinking that sometimes advanced equipment isn't necessarily a good thing; if the program malfunctions, these machines can really kill people.

He was still half asleep when he suddenly heard a series of loud crashes downstairs. At first, he thought he was dreaming and didn't pay attention. But the noise didn't stop and instead got louder, so he quickly got up to check the situation. After all, it was temporary accommodation provided by the owner, and just by looking at the renovations, he knew he couldn't afford to pay for it.

Yan Kai currently only has 200,000 Star Coins, which were a friendly donation from Harwick. At first, he didn't dare to accept them, but Harwick insisted on giving them to him. On Earth, 200,000 Star Coins could last for several years if he lived frugally, so he naturally assumed that it would be the same here.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the cost of living in interstellar space.

A couple of days ago, he went for a stroll in the street because he had nothing to do. He ate two meals: three steamed buns cost 4500 star coins, and a bowl of noodles cost 2 star coins. Every bite he took felt like his heart was bleeding!

So now he only has one goal: to find a job!

Both male and female Morbis are required to pay taxes annually, which can be obtained in two ways: 1. By working; 2. By having offspring.

Male insects also need to work, but the jobs are relatively easy and have low entry requirements. Yan Kai, however, faces a huge challenge: he can understand all the text in Longkoda, but he can't understand a single punctuation mark in Morbis's writing…

It was like seeing a ghost!

Later, he wanted to find some manual labor, but because of his male status, no one was willing to take him in, so he spent several days trying but still couldn't find any work to do...

Boom—another loud noise.

Yan Kai snapped out of his daze, quickly pushed open the door and ran out, almost getting knocked away by the low stool thrown on the ground.

"grass!"

He stumbled forward uncontrollably, then crashed into the second-floor railing with a thud, and couldn't help but curse under his breath.

I rubbed my forehead and got up, glanced down at the living room, and my mind went completely blank.

The entire living room was smashed to pieces; the sofa, table, ornaments, appliances, and so on were all reduced to rubble.

The culprit—the cleaning robot—had some kind of problem and was chiseling at the wall. After making a large hole, it wandered around to the bathroom and did something else. A moment later, clear water gushed out like waves.

The villa's security alarm went off quickly, but before it could even rise in pitch, it was mercilessly shut down by the cleaning robot...

Yan Kai: ? – _ – ??

This kind of artificial intelligence that's gone too far is the real disaster!

Yan Kai went downstairs in a few steps. The robot had a switch on it that could be turned off manually. However, before he could get within a meter of the thing, it keenly sensed the danger. It raised its slender arm high and brought it down heavily as if in a show of defiance, leaving a half-meter deep pit.

Seeing this, he immediately made a sharp turn and went back to his room to find the alarm bell, but the moment his finger touched the switch, it fell to the ground...

Then came the sound of a door being slammed shut.

Yan Kai stood with his hands on his hips, expressionless, staring blankly at the sky.

If he is guilty, let the law punish him, not a cleaning robot.

I walked to the French windows, pulled the doorknob, and sure enough, it was locked from the inside.

I picked up a chair from the room and smashed it against the glass; good, it didn't budge.

Yan Kai looked around the room, his gaze finally settling on the personal terminal on the bedside table. He then called the police!

I hurried over, took it in my hand, and tried to unlock it by scanning my face, but my fingertips hesitated to drop...

Great, what's your phone number?

Yan Kai let out a long sigh, scrolled through his contacts, and dialed Wender directly, which led to the scene that Yalta witnessed at the beginning.

"I'm so sorry, I made a special trip for you and you even tore your clothes. Here's how much it costs, I'll pay you back."

Wender waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency Yan Kai is too kind. It's just a piece of clothing. Besides, it's my honor that you thought of me first in this time of crisis."

Yan Kai gave an awkward, wry smile, because his personal terminal only had one contact stored in it.

"I really didn't expect this robot to be so destructive."

Wender bowed to Yan Kai and said apologetically, "Your Excellency, I am very sorry. It was my oversight. This villa has been uninhabited by insects for a long time. The new intelligent system is very smart and will continuously optimize and improve its performance through self-learning. In the case of no owner for a long time, the intelligent system judged that this was their territory and regarded you as an intruder, which is why it suddenly went berserk. The cleaning team will come later and will definitely restore it to its original state before evening."

Yan Kai shrugged helplessly. Being chased by robots was probably a unique experience in the world for him, so it was best not to mention it.

"Thank you, but one thing is one thing, and I still have to pay my share. If you keep doing this, I won't dare to contact you again."

Wender hadn't expected him to be so serious. After a slight pause, he laughed and said, "You are unexpectedly adorable."

Yan Kai: ? ? ? ? ?

He took a step back without making a sound.

This friend's idea is dangerous...

"Ah--"

A contemptuous laugh rang out, carrying a chill that went straight to the heart.

Yan Kai heard the familiar voice, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason. He knew who it was without even turning around.

Only that insect could pronounce a syllable as if possessed by a demon.

Yalta had entered at some point and stood at the bottom of the three steps, staring intently at the two insects.

I happened to hear that sentence, without bias.

He was filled with disdain; how dare a mere A-grade female insect covet his possessions?

Simply whimsical.

Yalta looked arrogant, wearing a white shirt, black military trousers, and thick-soled boots. His outfit was simple and without any decoration, yet he still looked incredibly noble.

He tried to maintain the smile on his face: "Yan Kai, long time no see."

The implication is: You try running it again?

Yan Kai lowered his head and did not respond immediately. He bit his tongue and forced himself to calm down.

My heart, so weak and unreliable, started pounding wildly the moment it saw this insect...

Tsk.

After a long silence, Yan Kai turned around and looked at the female insect, who replied without any emotion, "Yalta."

"Ah."

Yan Kai: ...

Huh my ass!

Yalta held back the words he was about to blurt out, and after much deliberation, said, "Why didn't you invite me along when you came out to play?"

As he spoke, Yalta glanced casually at the female insect beside him and narrowed his eyes.

It's fucking in the way.

"You know it."

When do you plan to go back?

Yan Kai twitched the corner of his mouth: "I have no such plans in this lifetime."

Yalta licked his lips, his expression becoming increasingly difficult to control, his heart clenching so tightly that his breathing became labored.

He chuckled softly, then slipped one hand into his pocket, gripping his fingertips tightly to prevent the surge of unbridled anger from escaping.

She took a step forward, her pale purple eyes fixed on the male insect, her voice gentler than ever before: "What are you saying?"

"We have nothing to say."

Yan Kai stiffly turned his head away, refusing to communicate.

"How not?"

“Yalta, I am no longer in Lonkoda. You have no right to demand anything of me. I have made it very clear that there is nothing to discuss between us. I have other matters to attend to and will not keep you company any longer. Please leave.”

Yalta's expression gradually darkened, his pale purple pupils began to deepen, and his lips turned deathly pale: "Is that so?"

The female insect was incredibly proud; she held back from reacting on the spot and even spoke in a humble tone, which was clearly her limit.

If the gentle approach doesn't work, he'll have to resort to force; he's determined to have this male.

Wender looked around among them, then suddenly stepped forward and blocked Yan Kai's path.

"This gentleman's arrival today is perhaps unfortunate. Mr. Yan Kai and I have some business to attend to and are about to leave."

Yalta's pupils shifted slightly, instantly concealing all emotion, and he coldly asked, "What are you? How dare you speak to me?"

Wendell remained as humble as ever: "Sir, whoever you are, this is Morbis, and no insect can force a male insect to do something against his will."

Yalta stared at him, his killing intent undisguised: "What I do is none of your business. He didn't say a word, so what right do you have to speak up for him?"

Yan Kai sighed softly and reached out to pull Wenld. Going against a madman could easily result in mutual destruction.

"Ignore him, he's having an episode."

The moment Yan Kai grabbed the female insect's arm, Yalta's last shred of reason crumbled, and he could no longer suppress the rage in his chest. He teleported forward, his insect-transformed claws aimed straight at the female insect's throat.
