Chapter 178 Each Has Their Own Duty
"No, no, Queen Insect, this is against the rules."
Realizing what the insect queen was about to do, Chrono quickly waved his hand in refusal.
"We are not qualified to look you in the eye; that's against the rules..."
As he spoke, he consciously stepped back until he stood at the bottom of the steps, where he had to look up to see the slender legs of the insect mother before he stopped.
Shen Qingqing chuckled softly. Chrono felt as if his heart had been struck by Cupid's arrow. In that instant, a tingling, numb, and pleasurable sensation coursed through his entire body and shot straight to the top of his head!
"Could you tell me your name?"
Chrono murmured unconsciously, "Chrono..."
"Alright, Chrono, I now invite you to come up to the stage and accept this medal."
He took her hand in his fair, slender hand and walked step by step to the center.
Mika, watching Chrono from below the stage, raised an eyebrow slightly, as if to say, 'See? He regretted it now.'
She personally pinned the medal, a symbol of honor, to his chest, and Shen Qingqing told him, "Once you put it on, you can't go back on your word."
"I have absolutely no regrets!"
As the medals were put on, the other nine male insects that had rushed forward first lined up on their own, waiting for the queen to bestow honors upon them.
The gleaming silver badges that once belonged only to victorious generals in interstellar battles can now be possessed by them.
What an honor!
One medal after another was transferred from the velvet box to their chests.
Those beautiful and once elite insect servants have ushered in their true second spring.
Of course, not all insect servants are willing to give up their identity.
Some still held a sliver of hope, hoping to use this opportunity to eliminate some competitors for themselves.
After all, there are quite a few servant insects, but only a few can truly gain the favor of the insect queen.
Besides, Saenster is here now too.
If they don't resort to some underhanded tactics, when will they ever get their chance to rise to the top?
About two thousand servant insects received their own forms, which contained their past information and glorious achievements.
"Everyone can write down the positions they are qualified for based on their abilities. If anyone does not want to leave, they can continue to stay at the palace."
The hall fell silent; they had never encountered anything like this before.
It is possible that there has never been a case in history where a queen of insects dismissed her harem.
After about two minutes of silence, just when Shen Qingqing thought they were all unwilling to leave, one of the insects in the swarm raised its right hand high, then placed it on its chest and uttered a vow.
"I am willing to dedicate everything to the Queen, to give up everything for the cause of the Zerg, to obey the Queen's orders unconditionally, and to be your most loyal subject forever!"
The other Zerg were clearly taken aback. Their well-trained instincts, ingrained in their very being, made them set aside their previous rivalry for favor and quickly line up in formation, forming a square.
At the same time, they shouted:
"I am willing to give everything for the Queen!"
"I'm willing to give up everything for the Zerg cause!"
"willing……"
"I am willing to be your most loyal subject forever!"
A deafening roar echoed throughout the underground city, and all the Zerg unanimously placed their hands on their chests in prayer for their Zerg Queen.
……
"You mean you really gave up those three thousand insect servants?"
Ge Yuan, who was drinking tea at the time, could hardly believe it when she heard this.
My God, this is absolutely an unprecedented feat in the history of the Zerg!
Which queen insect didn't expand her harem like crazy after taking office, collecting all sorts of beautiful male insects to serve as her attendants?
Who would voluntarily dismiss their own harem?
"You really are a genius, and there's no derogatory meaning to that." Ge Yuan gave Shen Qingqing a thumbs up.
"You know, these servant insects caused quite a bit of trouble while you were gone. They all said that you were gone and were going to die to join you. We couldn't stop them. Later, when we finally managed to stop them, they said that they were servant insects and couldn't do heavy work..."
Mentioning this, Ge Yuan, who hadn't slept for days, inexplicably became angry.
This time, however, she didn't kick the table and break it.
If it gets damaged, it needs to be repaired.
Repairs cost money.
The Zerg are very poor right now.
"It's alright. We can't just keep the insects unused, that would be such a waste." Shen Qingqing put down her cup, feeling that leaving the remaining hundreds of servant insects there was not a good idea.
"However, there are still about two hundred servant insects that are unwilling to leave. I need to think of a way to get all the insects involved in the Zerg construction project."
“That’s quite ambitious,” Ge Yuan also felt it was time to deal with the Zerg’s internal problems. “Keeping those good-for-nothings around is a waste of resources.”
“They’re unwilling to do anything, and a significant portion of them are just all show and no substance.”
Shen Qingqing was puzzled when she heard Ge Yuan say that.
"But the information says they are all honorary Zerg talents, so how can they be just for show?"
“Qingqing, you don’t know this,” Ge Yuan calmly revealed the truth, “In the early years, the Insect Queen’s servants were actually under the full responsibility of the Elder Council, but I don’t know when or which Insect Queen went crazy and felt that she should also contribute to the development of the Insect Clan.”
"Thus began a massive effort to stockpile males for their offspring, historically known as the 'Male Crisis'!"
"This led to a situation where the recruited servants only had faces and no abilities. As a result, the Elder Council was certainly unwilling to see the next Insect Queen's servants being completely incompetent. So, I don't know which genius came up with the idea that as long as they were given an honorary title, everything would be solved. Thus, the title of Honorary Insect Genius was born."
Oh, I didn't know you could do that.
Shen Qingqing's lips twitched. As expected of the insect race, they are all insect geniuses.
The title of "Honorary Insect Genius" alone is enough to overshadow the Elders' Council.
"Is Sarnster one too?"
Shen Qingqing asked uncertainly.
"You..."
I got a light flick on the forehead.
Ge Yuan said with exasperation, "Look at those well-developed muscles, and look at that terrifying combat power. Which of these is the setting for an idiot? These are the standard features of a real strongman."
“Sarnster was chosen by the Elder Council,” Go Yuan added. “The selection process within the Elder Council is something that most Zerg can’t handle.”
He then stood up, patted her shoulder, and said with considerable emotion, "Cherish your lord, I think Saenster's abilities are worthy of you."
Shen Qingqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then turned away and forgot.
Right now, all she can think about is how to revitalize the Zerg, elevate their interstellar status, and eventually make them a powerful force in the universe.
As for the servant insects?
What is that thing?
Never heard of it.
Tossing and turning, racking her brains, Shen Qingqing felt she was about to be overwhelmed by anxiety.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Sarnster appeared at the door.
She was also holding a glass of milk.
"Qingqing, I..."
"You've come at the right time. Take off your clothes and let me see."
"???"
Sarnster: !!!
Isn't it a bit too slow?
When Saenster put down the milk, his shirt was gone.
"Queen Insect, I can do it!"
