Han Ling's words sent a chill down Bern Mountain's spine.

Bern Mountain straightened his collar, feeling a little uneasy.

He had witnessed Han Ling's actions firsthand; he possessed a compassionate heart yet ruthless methods.

When dealing with other races, they are ruthless.

At this moment, Han Ling smiled slightly:

"Don't be nervous, your tentacles are all standing up, are you that scared?"

Tentacles? Bern Mountain awkwardly touched the top of his head and manually buried the tentacles in his hair.

He took two steps forward to catch up with Han Ling and explained:

“Big brother, I really don’t know about the family situation. You know, after the male insects are born, they are sent to Aphrodite. And the male insects are not worth raising. It’s only after they reach adulthood that my brother and I are valued.”

After he finished speaking, Bernstein couldn't help but lower his head. He had read many books, including those on economics, culture, and philosophy.

He knew perfectly well that once a male insect reaches adulthood, it automatically acquires sexual prowess.

Erotic capital is an innate attribute; it cannot be acquired through effort or accumulation.

As a scarce resource, male insects will inevitably be valued by their family after reaching adulthood.

But only when the erotic capital truly operates can the male insects access the core information of the family.

For example, his elder brother Matthew, once he actually marries the second prince, might learn some of the family secrets.

Han Ling wasn't surprised at all by Bern Mountain's words. He smiled, patted Bern Mountain on the shoulder, put his arm around him, and walked towards the villa, saying:

"I believe you. Too much has happened today. Let's not talk about it. Let's get some rest for the night and celebrate that we've escaped this dead end."

"If it weren't for my remaining abilities, we'd probably be dead by now at the final ball."

After saying that, Han Ling lowered his head and sighed inwardly.

There's another tough battle to fight tomorrow, when all the forces will gather together for another chaotic melee.

Strategic planning is paramount; winning hearts and minds is the ultimate goal.

I only hope that my words will be able to sway all the forces involved.

When Han Ling placed her hand on Bern Mountain's shoulder, Bern Mountain froze.

His lips trembled, and then he began to sob softly:

"Boss, thank you for trusting me, and thank you for saving me."

Han Ling ruffled his golden hair, smiled, didn't say anything, and continued walking forward.

When the two returned to the villa and saw the warm lights on, they both felt as if they had returned to another world.

The warm, soft white light illuminated the entire interior of the villa.

Bern Hill wiped the tears from his face sheepishly and asked:

"Boss, where do you want to sleep? You can have the master bedroom upstairs."

Han Ling waved his hand:

"No need, just get me a set of bedding. I'll sleep on the floor in the living room."

Bern Hill was stunned when he heard this; he had never expected that sleeping in the living room was an option.

Because his villa has seven or eight rooms of various sizes, there is no shortage of guest rooms.

Han Ling raised an eyebrow:

"Why are you stunned? Are you afraid to sleep alone? How about we sleep on the floor in the living room?"

Upon hearing this, Bern Hill nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll sleep on the floor with the boss!"

Ten minutes later.

The two lay flat in the living room, heads facing each other.

Bern Mountain lay on his cot, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

For the first time, he saw the villa's dazzling chandelier from below.

He gazed at the dazzling light refracted by the crystal chandelier, his emotions fluctuating wildly.

The experience of that day was too thrilling and exciting, and too legendary for him.

Bernstein had something on his mind that he felt he had to say, so he asked in a low voice:

"Boss, are you asleep?"

Han Ling opened his eyes, yawned, and replied:

"You're not asleep? What's wrong?"

Bernstein relaxed completely, collapsed to the ground, and opened up, saying:

"Boss, I want to talk to you."

Actually, I admire you a lot, I really do!

Since meeting you, I've realized for the first time that male insects can also live such vibrant and colorful lives.

You write books, start companies, and make games.

You are doing what you love.

But I've never thought about what I like.

The lifespan of the Zerg is five hundred years. My life's mission is to sleep with 12,000 female Zerg.

Dating, choosing a date, and contributing pheromones.

This is what I'm busy with every day.

I hate time because it passes too slowly. I dream of having a speed-up button in life so that my boring life can end quickly.

But today, for the first time, I'm grateful that I'm still alive. It's so good to be alive.

Bern Hill looked at the chandelier and rambled on, saying whatever came to mind, expressing all his suppressed feelings.

Han Ling rested her head on her arm and comforted her:

"Yes, you have to live. A huge change is definitely going to happen on Aphrodite. As long as you live, it's never too late to do whatever you want."

Moreover, you can't always deny yourself; what the male insect does is great and more meaningful than playing games.

Your contributions to the survival of the Zerg are unparalleled.

Bern Hill smiled upon hearing this:

"Now that there are only so many male insects left, how can the lineage continue?"

And will our lives really change?

Although the issue of the alien race has been resolved, life on Aphrodite will not change much.

We will still repeat the same tasks, only without the end-of-month dance.

"Boss, you said before that I was both stupid and bad, but actually I think I'm just bad, not stupid."

Han Ling countered with a question:

"If there are no more missions in the future, and you are free, what kind of life would you like to live?"

"Hmm..." Bern Hill mused:

"I don't know, and I can't imagine, what freedom is. But I think I should have a hobby, a job, sometimes busy, sometimes relaxed. When I'm relaxed, I can have dinner with friends."

Or I might find a stable partner with whom I can get to know slowly, instead of meeting, immediately going to bed together, and then never seeing each other again.

At this point, Bernstein laughed and said:

"Boss, did you know that the Flo family has a lot of books, all about love?"

The love story in the book is about a female insect and a male insect.

Some of the books in the collection also contain stories of love between three insects and love between four insects.

But there isn't a single book about the love of an insect.

Hearing this, Han Ling couldn't help but feel ashamed.

The male-to-female ratio of the Zerg in StarCraft is extremely skewed.

This is the Zerg's biggest dilemma.

However, Yaozu can perfectly solve this dilemma.

However, how to reveal the Yao Clan's identity while convincing all the female insects is a major problem.

After all, the number of Yao Clan members who have awakened is too small, even negligible, which is just a drop in the ocean for the Zerg.

Han Ling thought for a moment and said:

"Go to sleep, don't think so much, don't be too pessimistic, everything will be alright."

After putting Bern Mountain to sleep, Han Ling couldn't fall asleep. He kept bothering the system in his mind.

"System, various forces may come after me tomorrow. What should I do?"
