Chapter 283

The smarter a person is, the more likely he is to think about something he cares about. Ye Xiao is no exception.

In other words, all the Zerg who had a clear view of the situation in the gathering area had more or less guessed about the arrival of the gray fog.

However, due to the mystery of the gray fog and their completely well-intentioned actions, it was difficult for the Zerg to guess what their real intentions were.

If it's not for exploitation, but just for rescue...that would be too strange.

After learning about the entire process of the birth and destruction of their own Tianjia civilization, they did not think that a civilization like Tianjia, which made enemies everywhere, would come to repay their gratitude.

What else can I think?

Apart from coming to repay a favor, they really couldn't think of another reasonable explanation to explain why Gray Mist helped them at all costs.

Unless—behind the gray fog are people of the same clan.

Qi Heng, who was walking in front, didn't care at all what Ye Xiao and the others were thinking.

Rather, he didn't care what the Tianjia Zerg thought of the 'Gray Mist' from the very beginning. He just did what he wanted to do, and what others thought had nothing to do with him.

To some extent, although Qi Heng is no longer in the mindset of playing games, his mindset is still that of a gamer.

I will just be more cautious when making some decisions.

After all, the real world is different from the game. One small move can affect the entire body. He doesn't want to experience what it feels like to be besieged firsthand.

Whether it is the Tianjia civilization that needs help to rebuild or the hostile Star Alliance, they are all the same in his eyes.

If he had traveled through time and landed somewhere else instead of directly on Tianyun Star, perhaps he would not have taken on the trouble of [Rebuilding Tianjia Civilization] even though he knew it was a trouble.

The requirements of the system were never the ultimate reason for his decision.

He just felt a little guilty after living in the gathering place on Tianyun Star for a period of time, as he was the one who caused the miserable life of the Tianjia Zerg.

That little bit of guilt was the real reason why he agreed to the system to rebuild the Tianjia civilization.

Qi Heng, with the four male insects behind him, stopped outside a door with a sign that read [♂Mental Power Examination Room].

As soon as he stopped, several male insects behind him who had been staring at him also stopped immediately.

"Who of you will go first?" Qi Heng turned around and glanced at the four male insects in front of him.

Before they could answer, three male insects took a step back at the same time, leaving only one who was slow to react standing in front.

It's just a check, why do these people look a little scared?

He smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said to the red-haired male insect in front of him: "Then you go first."

Without waiting for Ye Xiao to answer, Qi Heng pushed open the door of the examination room and walked in.

Ye Xiao, who was outside the door, looked at the three male insects behind him and said with gritted teeth, "Why are you so serious? It's just an inspection."

Jiang Chen's smile remained unchanged as he patted his shoulder. "Yes, it's just a simple checkup, so Ye Xiao, go quickly and don't keep the doctor waiting anxiously."

Apparently, yesterday's physical examination had left some psychological trauma on all of them, and now they didn't want to be the first to experience it.

Ye Xiao walked towards the examination room with heavy steps.

What else can I do? Even if I feel a little unsure, I have to bite the bullet and go ahead.

The examination is also for the subsequent treatment, which is good for oneself. How can one recover mental strength without treatment... Ye Xiao tried hard to mentally prepare himself.

Behind him, Qin Yao and the others watched him enter the door, and the three male insects looked at each other.

Qiao Ming: "Who's next?"

Qin Yao: "...I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Chen: "Let's play rock-paper-scissors."

"Okay." Qin Yao and Qiao Ming agreed to this proposal in unison.

…

The other side.

As soon as Ye Xiao entered the room, he heard a voice saying "Close the door". He subconsciously closed the door with his backhand.

When I heard the slight sound of the door closing, I realized that my hands were faster than my brain. I did what the other person said without any hesitation.

Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with being so obedient in front of this 'Doctor', Ye Xiao was still surprised that he was so 'obedient'.

Before he could think about it, he heard another sentence.

"I drank the medicine."

"Take off all your clothes and lie down on the table."

It’s such a familiar sentence, only one word different from what I heard yesterday.

“…”

Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, and he began to take off his clothes silently.

I took off all my clothes in front of the female insect yesterday, so it doesn’t matter if I take them off again in front of this person who I don’t know if he is a female insect or not of the same race.

The examination room was spacious, but there was very little in it.

There was a piece of equipment for examinations and a cabinet against the wall filled with bottles and jars. Apart from these, there wasn't even a chair. Yesterday, the examination room at least had a stool.

Ye Xiao took the clothes he had taken off and could only place them on the wall at the entrance so that he could put them on directly when he finished the examination and left.

From the moment he entered the room, the doctor had his back to him and he had no idea what he was doing.

Ye Xiao looked at the examination table next to the doctor, and after slowly walking closer, he couldn't help but take a look at the things in front of the doctor.

At just one glance, he saw dozens of needles of different thicknesses.

Ye Xiao's eyelids twitched unconsciously, thinking that these things might not be used on himself. There were so many of them and he would be stabbed all over.

He didn't dare to look any longer and just lay down on the examination table as the doctor instructed.

It was so embarrassing. Fortunately, I was lying down and didn't have to look the doctor in the eye, otherwise... I would have felt like dying.

If there was a mirror at this time, Ye Xiao would find that his face and ears were extremely red, and the warm red color spread from his head and neck, threatening to cover his entire body.

Fortunately, he couldn't see anything.

But, unfortunately, even though you can't see it, you may feel your hands and face getting hot.

Let's finish it quickly.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but pray in his heart. It was really a torture to expose his body so defenselessly.

"Keep your head straight and arms bent and flat above your head."

Ye Xiao, who was lying on the ground, listened to the voice coming from above and did as he was told silently.

Qi Heng, who was standing next to the examination table, looked at Ye Xiao, whose whole body was red and almost turned like a boiled shrimp. He raised his hand, picked up the thermometer beside him and dripped some water on Ye Xiao.

38.9°.

The medicine took effect faster than I expected, so there was no need to waste time.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a checkup next. It won't take long."

Qi Heng picked up the special anesthetic next to him. This anesthetic does not require inhalation or intravenous injection, and can achieve the effect by direct intramuscular injection.

"If all goes well, surgery will be performed to unlock the blocked area of ​​your brain and restore your mental strength."

After confirming that the anesthetic was OK, he talked to Ye Xiao to distract him while injecting the needle into Ye Xiao's buttocks.

"Don't worry, I'm very skilled at removing the mental energy from closed brain areas."

Very skilled means having simulated hundreds or thousands of times in virtual games.

Ye Xiao, who was lying on his stomach, felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and then his eyelids became heavier and heavier. He suddenly became so sleepy that even the doctor's voice became increasingly unclear.

"...Wait till you take a nap, and it will be over when you wake up."

Qi Heng threw the anesthetic needle into the waste basket beside him, and used his mental power to probe into Ye Xiao's brain, finding the "pineal gland" at the center of Ye Xiao's eyebrows.

This is also where the male insect's brain is located.

The anesthetic needle would not make Ye Xiao completely unconscious. If Ye Xiao was completely unconscious, his mental power, which had been restricted for many years, would be even more difficult to perceive.

Therefore, during the inspection process, the male insect being inspected must remain awake.

However, this bit of clear consciousness is probably even less than the consciousness of turning over in a deep sleep.

The spiritual power belonging to the master probed in, but did not cause any reaction from Ye Xiao at all. Only the master could have such adaptability.

The brain area of ​​male insects is sensitive, and even if it has been sealed since childhood, it cannot be easily invaded.

To put it bluntly, the examination of mental power is also a means of mental invasion. Using one's own mental power to explore the brain area of ​​other male insects can easily cause backlash if one is not careful.

In other words, Ye Xiao’s own mental power is almost non-existent now, and his brain has been closed since he was a child, so Ye Xiao’s mental power was not stimulated in the first place.

And Qi Heng used the mental power that belonged to the Overlord. The Tianjia Zerg were naturally close to the Overlord, so they would not have any hostile reaction at all.

The brain area of ​​a male insect will expand as its mental power grows, and its mental power will increase as it grows. The mental power of an adult male insect will generally not be lower than the level of its juvenile mental power potential rating.

Qi Heng opened his eyes, looking somewhat helpless.

The size of this brain area has hardly changed from that of the juvenile S-level male insect.

Because there was legacy data in the system, he knew this after a quick comparison.

Strictly speaking, this is not bad news.

At least the brain area was blocked at that stage, which caused the least damage to Ye Xiao. It would also be easier for him to control it from scratch after recovery.

The difference between male and female insects, apart from the brain area, is that male insects do not have a star core.

The star power absorbed by male insects is controlled by mental power and stored in the innate star orifices. Losing mental power means that they cannot absorb and store star power.

Qi Heng only found out about this later.

After all, he was using the body of the Overlord, and although the Overlord was a male insect, he possessed a brain and a star core.

After completing the brain examination and finding no problems, Qi Heng turned to check whether there was any problem with the star orifice hidden in Ye Xiao's body.

The female insect's star orifice is opened after birth, while the male insect's is born with it.

Once the male insect's mental strength recovers, it will begin to absorb external star power and store it in the star orifice. This process is spontaneous.

Even though the amount of star power passively absorbed is very small, it will still place a considerable burden on the body if it cannot be controlled.

However, there is one advantage. The star power circulates back and forth to temper the bodies of the male insects, making these powerless male insects healthier and not so weak that they are unsightly.

When he thought of the first male insect who had broken free from the shackles of his brain, Ji Lin's physical condition improved a lot.

The only thing that gave him a headache was that Ji Lin seemed to be better at using mental power. Compared with mental power, Ji Lin's use of star power was much rougher.

Qi Heng methodically carried out the steps that he had already mastered by heart, while still being able to think about other things at the same time.

...The situations of Ji Lin and Ye Xiao are different. One recovered his mental strength shortly after becoming an adult, while the other has been an adult for five years, which is considered old among today's male insects.

I don’t know if the subsequent recovery can refer to Ji Lin’s situation.

While thinking, Qi Heng picked up a needle with a thin layer of star power on the tip. The next moment, he pierced the back of Ye Xiao's neck very accurately.

Forget it. If it doesn't work, just pay more attention during the postoperative observation period. It's better to be careful and cautious when treating male insects for the first time.

In the examination room, he was treating Ye Xiao.

Check outside.

Qin Yao, Qiao Ming and Jiang Chen, the three of them were leaning against the wall waiting. Each one looked calmer than the other, but they were a little nervous in their hearts.

For Ye Xiao inside, and also for themselves who will be receiving treatment next.

Qin Yao glanced at the terminal. More than ten minutes had passed since Ye Xiao entered, and no sound came from inside. He didn't know how long it would take to end.

At this moment, there was some movement coming from the other end of the corridor, like footsteps or the sound of something being pushed.

The three male insects outside the examination room subconsciously looked over and saw two female insects pushing a bed towards them.
