StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 235 He's Not Illiterate After All

The moonlight was hazy, and the chirping of insects filled the air.

A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and arson... no, it's the best time to sneak around.

Shen Qingqing quickly packed her bags, opened the paper map she had prepared earlier, and used a small flashlight to illuminate it.

The reason for using paper maps was to prevent the Zerg network backend from monitoring her terminal.

She drew the paper map herself, and she secretly observed it from the gap in the curtains from morning till night.

They continued until they drew a scaled-down plan of the temple's exterior.

That's what makes it feel like an escape, isn't it?

Walk along the garden path to the end, then cross the small lake and walk for about three hours to reach the destination. You should be able to arrive before dawn.

She reached out and tugged at her cloak, her long hair hanging from the hood glistening with dewdrops, a scent mingled with the fragrance of grass and flowers.

She was confident she could walk all the way to the base without the Zerg blocking her way.

A gentle breeze caressed her face, and the stars twinkled. Shen Qingqing strolled leisurely along the cobblestone path.

Having not been outside for so long, she had no idea that the buildings outside the Zerg area had been almost completely rebuilt.

The buildings that were originally destroyed by the wolves have all sprung up, and towering skyscrapers have been built from the ground up. Glory can only be achieved by ourselves.

According to unreliable sources, the Zerg leadership has begun to launch an attack on the Lycans and has sent advance troops to scout them.

It is believed that the Zerg will be able to reclaim their star system territory in the near future.

Looking at the minimalist building that gleamed coldly in the night, Shen Qingqing felt a pain in her neck as she tilted her head back. The various colored light strips used as decorations on the building were dazzling and overwhelming.

"Where is the Queen Insect going, sir?"

A sudden, lazy voice entered my mind.

Shen Qingqing looked around but did not see the person who had come.

Reluctantly activating mental detection, he then flicked his wrist, and a rose flew out from his sleeve, steadily heading towards the source of the sound.

"It's been a few months, and the Insect Queen's abilities have grown considerably."

Desker moved slightly and vanished from his spot in an instant.

Just as Shen Qingqing was about to take out the second rose from her sleeve, Desk suddenly appeared in front of her again, with a rose in his mouth.

The moonlight spilled onto his long purple hair, adding to his alluring and enigmatic aura.

Even the rose on her lips looked incredibly beautiful.

Shen Qingqing stood there, staring at him, momentarily not recognizing him.

Seeing this, Deske seemed deflated and took the rose out of his mouth.

When the thorn left the corner of her lips, it brought with it specks of blood.

Shen Qingqing forgot to remove the thorns when she cut the flowers.

"hiss……"

Desker hissed softly, placing the rose against his chest. His purple eyes sparkled like a starry sea, and a sinister aura emanated from him. "Qingqing really hurts the insects. She doesn't even remember who I am."

Hearing that familiar, irritating voice, along with that highly recognizable purple hair and eyes, and the constantly swaying tail hook behind him...

Shen Qingqing remembered and pointed at him, saying, "You're Desk, the one who was taking off his clothes and acting crazy in the room before!"

Upon hearing this, Desk almost choked with anger.

So, after he spent so much time trying to make his presence known to her, all she remembered was him taking off his clothes and acting crazy?

No, that's not called taking off clothes, nor is it called having a seizure.

"That's clearly courtship, courtship, okay!"

Desker shouted himself hoarse, wishing he could jump again on the spot to prove his innocence.

"No, no, don't speak yet." Shen Qingqing immediately covered his mouth, telling him to keep his voice down.

He whispered reassuringly, "You're courting a mate, is that alright?"

As she spoke, Shen Qingqing muttered a couple of sentences, "You don't even do summation, differentiation, function finding, or calculus like this."

"What did you say?" Desk asked, baring his teeth.

"It's nothing. Is it wrong to think you're handsome?" Shen Qingqing replied, releasing her hand from his mouth.

Seeing that Shen Qingqing was carrying a small bag, Desk didn't stand on ceremony at all. He picked up her bag, weighed it in his hand, and couldn't hide his disdain in his words, "Is this all you've prepared for running away?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqing looked wary. "How did you know I was going to run away? No, I wasn't running away. I was just on a private visit, a private visit."

Deske raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and Shen Qingqing seemed to realize she had let something slip, so she put her bag down.

"What do you want to do? Go and tell Andorra that I'm trying to escape?"

“Not really,” Deske shrugged, indicating he didn’t want to get involved, “but…”

He stroked his chin and leaned closer to Shen Qingqing, a malicious smile on his face. "If the Queen Insect tells me where you want to go, I might consider keeping it a secret for you."

As she spoke, she shook the handbag in her hand.

"Following up on your question, how did I know you were going to run away?"

Desk spoke, and the khaki crossbody bag in his hand flew through the air like a toy, being tossed high into the air and caught steadily.

"Come on, what kind of good insect would be wandering around at night with a bag on its back instead of sleeping? Apart from fireflies and other insectoid species, I doubt many insectoids would do that."

For some reason, Shen Qingqing could see contempt in his eyes.

He laughed awkwardly, "It's not like plants absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide at night. I wanted to compete with the plants to see who could absorb all the oxygen first and suffocate the other."

Upon hearing this, Deske's eyebrows practically shot to the sky as he stared at her in shock, his face filled with disbelief. "You, you, you actually know that plants also breathe at night?! You're not illiterate?"

Shen Qingqing initially tried to feign surprise when she saw his shocked expression, but her face darkened after hearing his words. "What do you mean? Isn't this basic biology knowledge?"

"Plants perform photosynthesis during the day, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, and respiration at night, absorbing oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Didn't you learn that in junior high?"

Desk was already shocked enough when the Insect Queen blurted out her biological knowledge, but he didn't expect her to know the rest of the knowledge, which truly made him look at the Insect Queen in a new light.

"I thought the insect mother was illiterate."

Desk said somewhat embarrassedly, "After all, you weren't born into the Zerg race and didn't receive a formal education, so you shouldn't have this knowledge."

After Deske's explanation, Shen Qingqing finally understood.

It is highly likely that the Zerg nobles monopolized education, leading to a severe cultural gap. Therefore, he naturally assumed that any Zerg queen who was not born on the Zerg King Planet must be illiterate.

"Have you ever thought that the Insect Queen also has inherited memories?" Shen Qingqing asked tentatively.

“It’s no use having it,” Deske said indifferently, “You can’t read anyway.”

Shen Qingqing, who was caught in the crossfire even while lying down: Are you being polite? Huh?
