Chapter 344

After taking the photo, the two cubs ran in front hand in hand, full of energy.

Qi Heng left a trace of mental power to lock onto them, so that they wouldn't really run away and disappear.

After several years of use, his progress in mental power is now far ahead of others, with more precise control and greater mental power.

It was only after the second stage of fusion that he got a glimpse of just how immense the Master's mental power truly was.

With his current mental strength, he can easily cover the entire planet.

However, according to the system's rating, it is still only A-level.

Qi Heng: ...The Overlord's "A" level seems to be different from the A level in the conventional sense.

But he wasn't particularly surprised.

Before he completed the second stage of fusion, he had already felt that his mental power was different from the mental power of ordinary ratings, and was far stronger and tougher than the mental power of the same level.

I originally thought that it was because the "Dominant"'s mental power was sealed in the system, so when he used it, it would have an effect far exceeding the mental power of the same level. But now it seems that my guess is only half right.

The Overlord cannot be treated the same as others of the same level.

However, he didn't know if there was a problem with the third stage of fusion. Recently, he always felt that his mental power was a little too active... and there were some indescribable feelings. In the past six months, he felt that he could clearly find that his emotions were becoming more and more easily affected.

Although he had already established a stable development plan, there were a few times when the plan of forceful overthrow that had been originally forgotten resurfaced due to some events, making him want to change his target.

Besides that, the fusion progress was so slow that he didn't even have the desire to watch.

It has been half a year since we entered the third stage, and the progress is not even 5%, let alone 2%.

Rounding it off, half a year has passed, but there has been no progress in the integration.

How could Qi Heng not care about this?

The second phase took more than two years, nearly three years, and if the third phase continues to develop like this, it will take at least twenty years to complete the integration.

After twenty years, the daylily has become cold.

Along the way, noisy voices accompanied by the cubs' laughter came into his ears, and Qi Heng walked among the crowd.

In addition to paying attention to Qi Xi and Qi Lan in front of him, he also paid attention to the strange female insects passing by him.

Just looking at their mental state, they all seem to be healthy and have no problems.

However, the increasingly high data from the medical center this year all indicate that the physical condition of the female insects whose wings have been stripped is constantly deteriorating, and some even develop serious illnesses due to minor ailments.

The death rate is also getting higher every year.

Qi Heng knew that this was normal and unavoidable. Even if he appeared, these deaths would still be inevitable.

His arrival only delayed the occurrence of these deaths, but it does not mean that they will not happen.

For female insects, wing removal is a very severe punishment.

Even during the Tianjia Civilization Empire, there were very few Zergs sentenced to this punishment. All Zergs knew what losing their wings meant to a female Zerg.

——That means a decline in physical functions, a sharp drop in strength, and a shortened lifespan.

For normal female insects, these minor illnesses are just minor pains or even rare problems, but for these female insects without wings, they are no less than a serious illness that can be fatal at any time.

As we age, the risk of death increases, even with a well-developed medical system.

To this end, he has been trying to find a treatment since he learned that female insects are deprived of their wings when they are young.

If you want to cure it completely, you must start from the root.

Female insects become so "fragile" that they experience the weakness that only occurs in the decline period during their youth, which should be at the peak of all aspects. It can even be worse - a minor cold can develop into a serious illness that requires ICU treatment.

Fortunately, Qi Heng did not do nothing in the past two years. Although he could not find a permanent treatment for all female insects that had lost their wings, he could delay and treat some less serious conditions.

When he first came to Tianyun Star three years ago, it happened to be the day of the falling star. Those cubs who lost their wings would be four years old now. They had lost their wings for the shortest time and were therefore the easiest to treat.

When the medical centers were first established in each residential area, routine full-body examinations were arranged for all Zergs, and many additional examinations for female Zergs and Zerg cubs were added later.

After collecting enough data, a treatment method for worm larvae emerged. Two years later, with the continuous upgrading of the system, the cure rate of this treatment plan has been improved to 100% success rate.

It is also time to start the first phase of treatment.

As for adult female insects, he did not forget them, but the cure plan was still not 100%. Judging from the current situation of the experimental subjects, the probability of cure for female insects of grade C to A was the highest, and there was no mortality rate.

For female insects from level D onwards and level S onwards, the cure rate is low and there is a certain probability of death risk.

The former is easy to say. There are probably not many D-level female insects in the entire Tianyun Star. After all, given the harsh environment of Tianyun Star in the past, those with poor physical fitness could not survive.

Therefore, the current thorny problem is the female insects above S level.

The number of female insects above S level is already small, and their talents should not be wasted at will, let alone participating in clinical trials with a certain mortality rate.

In other words, there is no other way, so when collecting samples, he must take the S-level into consideration, otherwise he would not want to count the S-level unless it is 100% successful.

Just because he doesn't want to doesn't mean those S-level female insects don't want to.

Although the fact that the treatment method for wing lesions has reached the clinical stage and requires experimental subjects has not been publicized, it has not been concealed from the outside world, and some rumors have been leaked.

That is why, during clinical trials, many ordinary female insects called for the relaxation of registration restrictions.

Qi Heng pretended not to see it.

The healing and regeneration process is closely related to the physical condition of the female insect itself. It is best to select from military females first. Even if it is really necessary to expand it to civilians, physical examinations are required to screen those who are eligible to participate.

Tianyun Star has developed well in the past two years, so there is no need to worry for now.

The focus for at least the next five years will be on female and male insects.

Needless to say, almost all female insects need treatment, except for newborn female insect pups.

As for male insects, although their number is not as large as that of female insects, there are only a handful of "doctors" who can solve the problem of blocked brain areas. It will definitely take a long time to solve the problem of most male insects having their brains blocked and unable to use their mental power.

In addition, except for Tianwu Star, the situation of female and male insects on every planet is similar.

But there are priorities. The male insects can't use their mental power, so they can't use it. Even if they wait a few years, they won't die. Treatment for the female insects is urgent, and it needs to be carried out not only on Tianyun Star, but also on other planets.

This is also good news for Qi Heng.

He can reduce the frequency of going out in the next few years and can stay on Tianyun Star unless there are unexpected circumstances.

But it doesn't mean doing nothing.

There are very few medical staff. Even if the diagnosis of medical equipment is convenient and accurate, those instruments cannot replace the role of male insects in soothing the mental strength of female insects.

The same is true in reverse.

But the same thing goes, male insects don’t have as urgent needs as female insects.

When male insects reach adulthood, they need the guidance of female insects' mental power so that their mental power can better undergo transformation during adulthood. However, there are few underage male insects with mental power on Tianyun Star.

It's still a long time before they reach adulthood, so there's no need to worry about it for now.

Qi Heng's expression was calm and it was hard to tell what he was thinking just by looking at his appearance.

But, there are always exceptions.

"Even when you go out to play, do you have to be so worried?"

Chu Xiu's voice rang in his ears.

Qi Heng subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, and was so shocked by Chu Xiu standing so close to his face that he froze in place.

At this distance and in this posture, if he didn't retract his previous move, he would probably collide directly with Chu Xiu.

To be precise, Chu Xiu's head would hit his chest.

"No." Qi Heng lowered his head slightly and looked at Chu Xiu in front of him.

In the past two years, his height has increased by a few centimeters, but Chu Xiu's body shape has remained the same due to various reasons.

Although it was a bit wrong to think so, he couldn't help it.

The height difference of nearly 30 centimeters made Chu Xiu look "petite and delicate" in his eyes.

But in fact, Chu Xiu is not that thin. He has a well-proportioned body and a slender figure. Even though his body shape is forced to be between a teenager and a young man due to degeneration, he is not lacking in strength.

If you look down on Chu Xiu just because of this, those female soldiers who were trained by Chu Xiu from morning to night in the military camp and were beaten black and blue probably have ten thousand complaints to say.

"Does it look like you're worried?"

It shouldn't be.

Qi Heng thought casually in his heart that with his current concealment skills, even Lan Yi and the others would not be able to tell the difference between what he thought in his heart and what he said on the surface.

Come to think of it, Chu Xiu looked thinner than the last time I saw him. It seemed as if all the flesh on his cheeks had disappeared.

——If Chu Xiu's 'degeneration' problem is not solved, Chu Xiu will find it difficult to grow taller, let alone gain weight under years of high-intensity military training.

Chu Xiu felt Qi Heng's gaze on him, and finally lingered on his face, and he felt inexplicably happy.

"It's just what I feel. You can't tell by just looking at it."

"You hid it well."

Chu Xiu never takes other people's gazes to heart, but the person in front of him is not someone else.

So as he was stared at like this, the longer his gaze stayed on him, the better Chu Xiu's mood became.

In the end, even Qi Heng found out.

"Are you happy?"

"certainly."

"I'm glad to be able to hang out with you."

Chu Xiu responded openly and with a smile on his face, which was enough to make any female insect who knew him drop their jaw.

A bit too frank.

It was clearly he who asked the question, but facing Chu Xiu's answer, Qi Heng coughed lightly with some discomfort.

"I know you have a lot of worries, but since we're out here to have fun, let's put them aside for now."

"Today is a rare holiday, I hope you can be happy."

Three years ago, Chu Xiu kept addressing him as "you", and every word he said was full of solemn respect, which placed his status and position at an infinitely high level.

Three years later, Chu Xiu changed his original attitude and communicated with him more simply and directly. He no longer treated him as the master, but more as Qi Heng.

They talked and chatted with each other more casually, but sometimes, it was so casual that Qi Heng had the illusion that Chu Xiu was flirting with him.

When their eyes met, Qi Heng was a little dazed.

Chu Xiu had a pair of beautiful eyes, he knew it when they first met.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, he had no intention of refusing. Even if he really wanted to refuse, he couldn't say it to Chu Xiu like this.

Silver hair and blue eyes are very pleasing to the eye and generate infinite tolerance.

Fortunately, Qi Xi has black hair and black eyes. If he also had the same hair and eye color as Chu Xiu, he doubted whether he would have the heart to spank the bug cub if it got into trouble.

Qi Heng once again confirmed in his heart that Chu Xiu could be considered handsome.

——She’s so pretty that even if he’s straight, he can’t help but take a second look.

People were coming and going nearby, and strangers would look at them from time to time.

no way.

Even if you don't know them, you'll still take a second look at them because of their superior looks, and then you'll be attracted by the pink bubble atmosphere when they look at each other. If you want to know what will happen next...
