StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

After a long day of work, it was still not lunchtime.

Shen Qingqing, rubbing her rumbling stomach, lay on the mountain of documents, lost in thought.

"Gululu~"

The rumbling sounds coming from its belly told its owner that it was hungry.

"Give me some food, give me some food."

Ge Yuan could already picture Shen Qingqing banging the small, broken bowl on the ground.

"Eat an apple first to fill your stomach."

Now, besides Ge Yuan, she's closest to Apple.

Just as the two were having a heated discussion about what to have for lunch, a voice broke in, shattering the atmosphere.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's just the earthworm that Count Selit picked up!"

“Exactly!” said another equally beautiful female.

The female that spoke first was clearly more interested in mocking Ge Yuan.

"Tsk, still looks like a country bumpkin after all these years, Ge Yuan, looks like you have poor taste..."

"Such terrible taste, I don't know what the Earl was thinking!"

"..."

Ge Yuan was clearly unconcerned by the two's provocations.

You'll get used to it after hearing it a lot.

"Hmph!" The leading female insect raised her little face and said to Ge Yuan and Shen Qingqing, "Hey! You two country bumpkins, hurry up and answer my question!"

"Tsk." Ge Yuan picked up her bangs, stood up, and staggered to the door.

A huge shadow loomed over the two of them, bringing an invisible pressure.

"Are you done talking?" Ge Yuan asked calmly.

"If you've finished talking, get out of here! Don't come hanging around in front of me."

Then, the door was slammed shut again.

The fragile iron gate groaned in pain.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be scrapped.

"Ge Yuan, your hand..."

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. It'll be fine in a bit."

When Ge Yuan returned, the wounds on her hands had healed, and the bloodstains were barely visible on her fair hands.

Shen Qingqing: "They said those things about you, and you just kicked them out like that?"

Ge Yuan raised an eyebrow: "There's no need to lower yourself to their level. They're all just test subjects. Who's more noble than whom?"

"Besides, the research institute's subsequent pheromone supply chain will almost entirely depend on them, so I can't ruin Celit's plans."

Ge Yuan, who had just smashed down another door, was extremely elegant. "They're just a few pets. I don't even consider them a threat! I am the famous Ge Yuan! How could I stoop to their level?"

In the past few days, Shen Qingqing learned from the personal computer that the hierarchy within the Zerg, from top to bottom, is as follows:

The Presbyterian Church, princes, dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts, barons, and commoners.

But there is one position that is rather special, and that is the bishop.

"In general, apart from teaching me not to mess with them, there are no insects that I'm afraid of."

Shen Qingqing was very puzzled as to why Ge Yuan could recognize their identities.

"Why can you recognize them as pets? Aren't they experimental subjects? According to regulations, they should be kept separate from nobles, so how come they are..."

"Qingqing, sometimes rules are just for show."

Ge Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked at her. "Rules are just written regulations that the upper class makes to rule the lower class, and that conform to their interests."

"Furthermore, having worked with them for so long, I know about those dirty deeds, even if they weren't said openly. And Qingqing, Lillian is back."

Shen Qingqing wasn't surprised at all when she heard Ge Yuan say that Lillian had returned.

"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Ge Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Shouldn't you be crying and seeking comfort at this moment?"

Shen Qingqing helplessly spread her hands, "Do you think I can beat them, or do you think I dare to challenge the authority of the research institute?"

"That's true. After all, we're in similar positions now, so we can't use our power to suppress them... It's a pity we can't have a friendly spar with them."

……

"Don't laugh so loudly, it wouldn't be good if someone heard you!"

"Hehe, aren't you the same?"

"Speaking of which, it seems Lillian has returned, but I wonder if it's true or not."

"Tch, probably another pheromone issue. It's happened so many times over the years, and it's always the same excuse."

"Oh, by the way, 006 and 007 went to cause them trouble, I don't know..."

The wealthy young ladies gathered in a circle, discussing gossip about the spaceship.

As soon as Lia arrived, the ladies who had been chattering like birds quickly fell silent, keeping their eyes down and their minds at ease.

"You've been silent since I arrived. Do you dislike me?"

When Leah finished her inspection, she found that 006 and 007, who had always been at odds with her, were there, and her face immediately fell.

"Why did you two suddenly appear? Did you come especially to welcome me? Or... are you not used to staying on Wangxing?"

His words drew mocking laughter.

"Maybe. After all, it's normal for two country bumpkins to be unsophisticated, right, Leah?"

The speaker was a female insect holding a folding fan. Leah remembered her; she was the young lady from the Viscount Lava family.

Miss Folding Fan approached 006, waving her fan, then suddenly covered her face with her fan and walked away.

"The bedbugs that crawl up from the bottom are really ugly; even the air they breathe is so foul! It's filthy!"

006 was the one who took the initiative to find Ge Yuan. Now that someone had hit a sore spot, he subconsciously wanted to tear her face apart.

"Six, calm down, she's the Viscount's beloved daughter," 007 whispered, pulling her hand.

006 broke free from her grasp, his face contemptuous. "Just a viscount's discarded son, does he even deserve to bark here?"

"Xiao Qi, why are you so timid? I remember you've always been on my side before!"

The female with the folding fan pouted at Leah, and Leah instantly understood, giving her a look.

Having received instructions, he became even more smug and shoved 007 aside, slapping 006 instead.

"Snapped!"

The slap was loud and clear, indicating its force.

"You! You actually dared to hit me?! I'm the female that the Marquis personally selected for me!" Xiao Liu covered her face, incredulous.

"Heh, the Marquis won't stoop so low as to want you," he said, waving a purple folding fan and looking down at her. "Don't you even know your own status? How dare you dream of climbing up to the upper class! You two test subjects from the bottom of society, if it weren't for your pheromones still having some use, Count Selit wouldn't have kept you around."

With his last fig leaf torn away, Xiao Liu disregarded the difference in status and stood up to slap the female with the folding fan.

"Shut up! You despicable insect!"

The commotion grew louder and louder, almost reaching the level of a chaotic brawl.

Leah simply stood to the side, calmly taking the tissue offered to her by the person next to her and wiping her hands.

Watching this farce unfold with detached indifference.

Count Selit must be arriving soon.

……

"Still don't understand?" Ge Yuan scratched his head in frustration, making his hair look like a bird's nest.

"I understand. 006 is much more troublesome than 007." Shen Qingqing was chewing her rice when she finally managed to speak, only to have another mouthful of rice stuffed into her mouth.

"Eat up, and you won't think about these trivial things anymore once you're full."
