Although Han Ling said she wanted to eat hot pot, what she really wanted was for the place to have a more lived-in feel, since it was where she would be living in the future.

If he wants to eat fresh food, he can use the spatial teleportation channel to return to Aphrodite and order food at any time.

The male insects on Aphrodite are very welcoming of generous employers like Han Ling.

Upon hearing Han Ling's words, Roderick instantly understood what Han Ling meant. He widened his eyes in surprise and asked:

"Lord Han Ling, are you not planning to leave?"

Han Ling nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Of course, I'm a military dependent now, so I can accompany the military. If the management doesn't let me stay here, I'll just sneak away; no one can catch me anyway."

Han Ling's words left the female insects watching around them looking at each other in bewilderment.

This male insect is incredibly audacious, plotting to smuggle himself across the border right in front of them?

A female insect carefully examined Han Ling's appearance, then let out a shrill, incredulous scream:

"Han Ling? You're Lord Han Ling? You're the male insect who opened the spatial teleportation channel on Planet Aphrodite?"

Han Ling nodded slightly and said modestly:

"That's right, it's me. I think my abilities are still somewhat useful, right?"

"It's more than just useful!" A strange voice came from behind.

Han Ling turned around and saw a red-haired, pink-eyed female soldier standing behind him.

"Admiral Ulysses."

"Admiral Ulysses."

"Admiral Ulysses."

The female insects present greeted him with salutes.

After Ulysses raised his hand in response, he looked at Han Ling and smiled:

“I am quite surprised that you could come here. Your abilities are very useful to the First Exploration Legion. It would be great if you could help.”

For the First Exploration Legion, the most consumed resource on each expedition is energy fuel.

They sailed their warships outwards, but were unable to stop and resupply along the way.

Unless they find an Earth-like planet during this voyage.

If a new Earth-like planet is found, the First Exploration Legion will set it up as a new foothold. After being developed by the Seventh Construction Legion, it will become the base for new recruits the following year.

Ulysses was shocked by Han Ling's abilities when he watched the video of the Central Castle Ball.

The establishment of the space teleportation channel was incredibly impressive, and the ability to traverse the universe made the female insect's blood boil even more.

If Han Ling were a female insect, she would probably have become the object of eager recruitment by various legions long ago.

Unfortunately, Han Ling is a male insect. The last male insect to join the army was 9,000 years ago, when the sex ratio was not so exaggerated and the male insect's mental strength had not degenerated too much.

However, long-term interstellar travel is obviously not suitable for the physically weak male insects. The last batch of male insects who joined the army were all left in space forever because they could not withstand the physical torment.

Upon hearing Ulysses's words, Han Ling said:

"If I want to stay here and live with Roderick, what conditions do I need? I think you could discuss this with the marshals, and then give me your answer."

Han Ling's words had a hidden meaning. This question wasn't asked for Han Ling's sake, but rather for the upcoming arrival of the Yao Clan.

The Yao clan slept for ten thousand years in the long river of time.

Each of them possessed a mental strength as terrifying as Han Ling's.

If they wander around in space, they could really cause trouble.

There must be reasonable constraints on the Yao Clan to regulate their behavior.

The number of awakened Yao Clan members was too small, and this group did not receive enough attention.

But as more and more female soldiers dream, some things should be put on the agenda.

Ulysses nodded:

"Yes, I need to report the specific plan to the Marshal before I can receive the execution notice."

Until then, Lord Han Ling, you may stay in the dormitory with Roderick, but please refrain from wandering around unnecessarily to avoid causing adverse reactions from the female insects. When going out, it is best to travel with Roderick.

Han Ling nodded:

"Yes, I don't usually go out."

The fact that the Yao Clan has remained relatively untouched for tens of thousands of years proves that they are a very sedentary race.

They prefer to use their powerful mental strength to run around rather than to walk back and forth with their weak bodies.

After chatting with Han Ling for a while, Ulysses left with the female soldiers who had come to join the fun.

Only Han Ling and Roderick remained on the street in front of the door.

Han Ling took Roderick's hand, opened the door, and walked into the house.

"Let's go home."

Upon hearing this, Roderick was jolted, as if struck by lightning, and moments later, tears welled up in his eyes.

For the first time, Roderick directly experienced the deep-seated attachment that interstellar females had to their families.

After entering the room, the two sat cross-legged on the bed, facing each other. Roderick handed the nutritional supplements he was holding to Han Ling.

"Sir, this is a grape-flavored nutritional supplement."

In the morning, Han Ling specifically instructed that he preferred the fruit flavor of the nutritional supplements rather than the salty or spicy flavors.

What flavor did you drink?

As Han Ling asked the question, she opened the nutritional supplement and took a sip.

Then, the feeling of fullness instantly rose to my throat.

The nutritional supplements given to female soldiers are too concentrated in energy.

After Han Ling finishes this sip, it will keep him hydrated for three days.

Roderick touched his nose sheepishly: "Mine smells like grapes too."

He wanted to drink the same nutritional supplements as His Excellency Han Ling.

Seeing the shy Roderick, Han Ling's soul seemed to be elevated.

Han Ling put down the nutritional supplement in her hand, leaned forward, pecked him, and laughed:

"Next time bring a different flavor, I'll get to see what you're drinking. I'll let you off this time."

Although Roderick's face was flushed, a wicked thought had already risen within him. He smiled, his face still red:

"Same taste, but slightly different, right?"

"...Then I won't let you off this time."

————————

Please use your imagination.

————————

12 o'clock at night.

Han Ling clicked her tongue: "It is indeed different."

Han Ling was all smiles. He was finally living the life he wanted! This was what life was all about!

He could share secrets, funny stories, and complaints with Roderick, and Roderick was on the same wavelength as him and could completely understand what he meant.

Han Ling said with a smug look:

"I'm new here and not very familiar with the area yet. Why don't you invite all your friends over for dinner sometime? So you can get to know each other. I brought the food from Aphrodite, so I guarantee it's safe and there won't be any problems."

Upon hearing this, Roderick asked curiously:

"Want to eat together? Is this a Yao tribe tradition?"

Han Ling explained:

"No, that's not it. It's what I've seen. Throughout history, many civilizations and races have done this."

Roderick pondered for a moment, the images of some friends flashing through his mind, and he nodded:

"Okay, then let's set the date for the day after tomorrow? We don't have any missions right now, and we're just sitting around on the planet doing nothing all day. After the morning training, it's free time."

After setting a meal time, Han Ling took out his personal terminal and sent a message to Bern Mountain, asking him to prepare the dishes for him in advance.

It's impossible to feed the female insects to their hearts' content. It would take tens of thousands of kilograms of raw food to feed just three female insects.

Therefore, the dishes at this gathering were merely for the sake of flavor.

After sending the message, Han Ling proactively explained:

"I now have two capable assistants, one managing Lingtian Games Company for me, and the other managing Xiongchong Live Company for me."

I'll introduce them to you. If you need anything, you can ask them for help. Behind those two are countless professional teams.

Upon hearing this, Roderick quickly lay down beside Han Ling and looked at the personal terminal together. He asked curiously:

"They're in charge of managing the company, they must be very busy. Isn't it a bit of a waste to have them prepare meals for you?"

Han Ling shook his head:

“They will feel uneasy and unworthy of their annual salary if you don’t ask them to do anything.”

How much do they earn annually?

"30 billion credit points".

"!!!" Roderick was so shocked he couldn't speak. After a long while, he stammered, "Three hundred billion credits, that's enough to support a fleet. I can't believe that just a year ago, you were still scavenging for scraps..."

The hardships experienced during childhood will become badges of honor to be proud of after success. Hearing Roderick's words, Han Ling just chuckled and said:

"Standing at the right place at the right time, even a pig can take off. I write what female insects want to see most, so of course my capital accumulation is fast. And most importantly, I've been in the river of time for so long that even a fool would have learned the tricks to making money. The most profitable game is the one that learned the tricks from humans."

Upon hearing Han Ling's words, Roderick's eyes lit up. Han Ling had recently told him a lot about the Yao Clan, so he was quite familiar with the River of Time. However, Han Ling was still very curious about what the top races in other universes were like.

The two chatted back and forth, losing track of time as they talked. They stayed under the covers and talked until dawn.

When the assembly bell rang, they realized that so much time had passed.

Rodriguez stood up abruptly and rushed to the bathroom, calling out:

"Your Excellency, you should go to sleep first. I have to go to training camp. I'll be back soon."

Han Ling asked with concern through the bathroom door:

"Aren't you sleepy? Are you sure you're okay going to training camp in this condition? It's all my fault for talking for so long. Go to bed earlier next time."

"It's alright, a female insect can go three days without sleeping and her body won't have any problems. Besides, I really enjoy your storytelling."

The two started chatting again, separated by the bathroom.

Han Ling reluctantly returned to bed only after Roderick left.

The blanket still carried Roderick's pheromones, a faint scent of alcohol.

Before long, Han Ling couldn't keep her eyelids open and fell asleep.

Before going to sleep, Han Ling was still thinking about how wonderful the first day of living together felt.

——————————

On the other side.

On the training field.

Roderick rushed as fast as he could and finally arrived at the training ground just before training began.

As soon as he landed, James approached, his eyes scanning him from head to toe, and asked curiously:

Why did you get up so late today?

Roderick exhaled, twisted his neck, relaxed his muscles, and said:

"Lord Han Ling hasn't left. He plans to stay here indefinitely. I was so excited yesterday that I chatted with him all night and didn't sleep at all. I've been wide awake since then. By the way, why didn't you go home yesterday?"

Yesterday, Roderick noticed that there was no sound from next door at all, and James did not come home all night.

Upon hearing this, James rolled up his sleeves and began cursing:

"It's all because of those few bastards. They agreed to go for extra training together, but when we got to the training room, they kept interrogating me about what I was dreaming about. They increased the gravity to 30 times, so I was lying in the training room, unable to get up or run away."

Later I told them that they had to fantasize about male insects in order to dream about having sex with them.

Then I recommended that they play the game "Charge! Top Male Insect Lord" and read the novel.

Yesterday I was in the training room, playing games with those jerks all night, I'm exhausted! There was also an event in the game, and I couldn't resist, so I spent 6480 credits!

Since having the male insect in his dreams, James has rarely played games.

However, the game launched a new card-drawing event yesterday, which means there will be new actions in the card's storyline.

James was very curious about the new feature and kept trying his luck with the lottery. Before he knew it, he had spent 6480 credits.

But because he was extremely unlucky, he never drew the card he wanted.

James grew angrier the more he thought about it, and the angrier he became as he talked.

Roderick chatted with the male insect all night, while he was forced to chat with a bunch of bug droppings all night! And his gacha pulls were so unlucky!

It also kept him from sleeping, so he couldn't even dream about finding a male insect!

James said with absolute certainty:

"Why don't you go to the cafeteria after your practice today? I'll go with you, and I won't do any extra practice. I'm going to go home and go to bed early, and dream about finding a male insect!"

Roderick nodded and smiled:

"By the way, Lord Han Ling said we should have a meal together the day after tomorrow."

"Eat?" James scratched his nose in confusion. "What kind of food? Want to go to the cafeteria together?"

Roderick shook his head:

"No, it's for dinner at my house. Lord Han Ling has prepared dishes from Aphrodite and wanted me to gather my friends together for a simple meal. The main purpose of this gathering is to inform you that we're together."

After hearing Roderick's description, James's eyes widened:

"Insect droppings! Is that so romantic? From now on, when my male insect comes to my side, I'll treat everyone to a meal!"

Roderick smiled slightly:

"Lord Han Ling said that this time, he will only invite a few people, and just invite his friends. Next time he invites everyone to dinner, he will invite all the female insects stationed on the star to eat together."

James was so shocked by these words that he was speechless.

Lord Han Ling, you are truly meticulous in your work!

Seven hours later.

Han Ling woke up from her sleep to find the room quiet.

Han Ling stretched and lay on the bed looking out the window.

At that moment, he felt like a lover waiting for his favor, hoping that Roderick would return soon.

Lewd thoughts raced through Han Ling's mind. After a while, he finally turned on his personal terminal and started looking at the "Complete Guide to Earth Repairman" that he hadn't finished reading yesterday.

This book mainly explains planting, and Han Ling wants to continue the unfinished great cause—cultivating the land around the house.

One should walk the right path and do the right thing.

Han Ling actually planned to cultivate all the land on the stationed star, so that the female soldiers could put their pent-up energy to good use.

His spiritual power spread across half the planet, and he discovered that the planet had a good environment, evergreen all year round, and because it was far from the star, the temperature difference between day and night was quite large, which was just right for planting.

Han Ling had also seen what the female soldiers did every day on the training field.

Using a gravitational field to train the female insects' endurance, speed, and physical strength. This activity not only wastes energy but also yields no results.

It would be better to let the female insects use that energy on agriculture.

Although agriculture may not create enormous wealth, its future development must be taken into account.
