StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 88 Please Instructions

In the end, she gave up and obediently picked up her fork to vent her anger by poking at the food on her plate.

“It seems you really don’t want to eat,” Andor also gave up on the Fourth Elder’s decision to have him come and make a good impression. “You can act according to your own will. Here, no Zerg can control you.”

"...Do you believe in yourself?"

"What?" Andor didn't understand why she would ask such a question.

Shen Qingqing pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth and said, "Judging from your reaction, you probably don't even believe what you just said."

Once inside the starship, due to the need to utilize a large amount of space for manpower and weaponry, there was almost no extra room to arrange her personal belongings.

Given the current situation, having napkins and a small vase is already quite good.

It took Andor a while to realize that she was mocking him, and he laughed, "It seems the rumors are unreliable."

"It's widely rumored among the nobles that this year's Queen Insect is all show and no substance, but I never expected she would actually consider these things."

“Then may I ask,” Shen Qingqing looked into his eyes, “which nobleman sent you, Andorra?”

Although the meeting was rather rushed that day, and she didn't quite catch what Gatana and the others were saying, she still remembered the names of a few insects.

The main reason is that the name is short and easy to remember.

A three-dimensional character model was projected into the blue artificial eye, attracting her attention.

"The Fourth Elder sent me to assist you."

The life-size projector was a little old man who hadn't said much during the meeting, but was smiling at her.

He has a very kind and approachable demeanor and is always cheerful.

"Lord Gatana is the governor and one of the three major financial groups. He holds absolute power over the military, politics and finance. The elders do not want to concentrate power in one insect, so they wanted to cede part of the military power to Alex when they sent troops to the front line this time."

Andor revealed the true nature of this task allocation: it was essentially a distribution of interests and power.

"Because of concerns about unforeseen circumstances, they sent me to assist them."

Andorra's mechanical prosthetic limbs kept tracing the projection, even projecting a diagram of the relationships between the Presbyterian Church, the Church, and Gatana.

"And my scanner shows that your passionate period will occur tonight. Do you need my help?"

Looking at the smile on Andor's face, Shen Qingqing couldn't associate him with words like harassment.

After all, he looked far too serious.

Saying the most embarrassing things in the most serious tone, even Shen Qingqing, who was used to hearing flirtatious words, couldn't help but blush.

"Is this something that can be said directly? And why were you able to detect this?"

"Sixty percent of my body is made of mechanical modifications, including my brain."

As he spoke, he tapped his temple with his hand, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound.

"Therefore, the brain's nerve center can make a judgment directly from your body surface temperature and breathing rate. Moreover, your body has already begun to secrete large amounts of endorphins and dopamine, which are among the initial manifestations of 'insect mother fever'."

When it comes to matters of knowledge, Andorra is always exceptionally serious.

Perhaps since the physical modification, he has lost his source of emotion, so he simply devotes himself to continuous learning to improve his self-cultivation.

Andor was the least prominent clan representative among the thirteen clans, and he was almost always silent at meetings, rarely speaking up.

"Okay, I understand," Shen Qingqing pondered the possibility that Andorra could help her. "Do you have any way to delay it?"

"Why delay passion?" Andor didn't quite understand her request.

"Passion is a normal physiological phenomenon for the Zerg. Moreover, since you are the Zerg Queen, the pheromones emitted by your passion can greatly alleviate the Zerg's frenzy and are the best soothing agent."

Andor did not explicitly refuse her request, although as a modified insect, he did not need pheromones to soothe him.

Black eyes are quite rare even among nobles, Andor thought to himself.

“However, I can search for relevant information for you.” Andorra bowed slightly in a gentlemanly manner, placing his index finger on his temple.

"According to StarNet information, the best solution at present is to inject inhibitors, but unfortunately, there are no inhibitors on the starship that are suitable for the queen's constitution."

Shen Qingqing chuckled, "You'd be better off not saying anything."

Attracted by the sudden laughter, Andorra realized it was the first time he had ever heard her laugh.

Unlike the awkward, forced smiles I had after the previous roundtable meeting, this time the smile had no other meaning; it was just a simple smile.

"That's settled then. I'll go see them later."

She was referring to the task Gatana had given her. The Zerg on this starship were under her command, so naturally she was needed to lead them.

It would be really inexcusable not to offer condolences and give a speech.

"All is well, Queen Insect."

Andor, who had retreated to the doorway, suddenly turned back. "Of course, if you need me, Andor is at your service at any time."

His meaning was clear: if she couldn't handle the passion, she could call him for help.

Shen Qingqing's face turned bright red, and she turned her back to him, refusing to look at him.

"You'd better leave now!"

……

Wow, the modified bug equipped with the emotional simulator really has different emotional intelligence!

Lao Ba sighed, "These few words alone are enough for me to study for a lifetime."

"Why did you suddenly appear again?" Shen Qingqing was already feeling helpless about her system that could disappear at any time. It seemed that Lao Ba was indeed useless.

"Your presence is very weak; you almost never show up."

Hearing the complaint, Lao Ba's comb stood up, as if he wanted to jump out of the mental link and give her a couple of chicken claws.

"Is it my fault? It's because this world is too special; you have no idea how expensive the internet is here..."

When the internet fee was mentioned, Lao Ba covered his head with a chicken wing, feeling distressed.

[It's so expensive! Every time I show up, it costs so many points. I can't compete with the system's generosity... In the end, it's just that you're too weak.]

You are the worst host I've ever had!

Shen Qingqing, who was inexplicably subjected to PUA, said that she did nothing and just followed the procedures obediently.

"Is it your fault?"

Don't copy me!

"I'll learn from you!"

"Tch," Old Eight snorted. "By the way, the points you earned from the last mission haven't been paid out yet. Let me report to you."

Hearing Lao Ba talk about mission points, Shen Qingqing remembered that there was a side mission before that involved greeting Count Selit.

In short, the last mission earned 120 points, and with the double bonus during the newbie protection period, the total is 240 points.

Tell me, what do you want to redeem?

Old Eight asked, "The points mall is now open; you can use your mental energy to see it."

Shen Qingqing closed her eyes and, sure enough, saw a dazzling array of goods displayed on the shelves.

But the price...

Anyway, it's not something she can afford with 240 points.

Then, my gaze inadvertently fell on a small bottle in the corner.

"Aphrodisiac spray?! What is that??"
