Chapter 149 The Eyes Are Full of Doubts

Bai slowly frowned, what Nan Qi said was very likely.

They had just learned about the magical object, the Seven-Colored Stone, but the Insect Emperor had known about it for a long time. Perhaps all generations of Insect Emperors knew about the existence of the Seven-Colored Stone.

Therefore, the royal family's research on the seven-colored stones was likely more comprehensive and thorough, and they might have used the seven-colored stones to create something remarkable that they didn't even know about.

As for who this thing is used to deal with, it depends on who can shake the royal regime.

Thinking of this, Bai suddenly took a breath of cold air. No wonder no ancestors had succeeded in the past ten thousand years.

It turns out that in addition to the issue of race continuation, the problem of female insects' mental rebellion requiring male insects to appease them, the problem of male insects' brainwashing of female insects for thousands of years making most female insects think that their current life is normal, the problem of star beasts outside the empire eyeing it covetously, the problem of the empire's finances, technology, agriculture, and weapons research and development all being in the hands of high-level male insects, and the problem of F-level male insects allowing female insects to bully and vent their anger, there is another reason: the female insects really can't win.

Female insects have a natural advantage in combat. Even though weapons research and development were previously entirely in the hands of male insects, it was never weapons that trapped them, but finances.

Because as long as you have money, you can buy any high-tech weapon, but now...

Bai exhaled, now he was unsure.

The seven-colored stone is so magical, so the weapons that can carry the seven-colored stone must be extraordinary. The royal family will never let such weapons leak out, and they can't buy them even if they want to.

Not only can they not buy it, they can't even hear any news. If they rush into it, the result may be that they will be like an egg hitting a rock and fail.

"All of this is just my speculation, there's no basis for it." Seeing Bai frowning because of what he said, Nan Qi comforted him gently, "We still have time, we can always find some clues."

"Yeah." Bai nodded, still feeling a little down. "I know, I just suddenly realized I was a little naive."

It is naive to think that by resolving the abnormal dependency between female and male insects, so that female insects no longer have to suffer from mental turmoil, and male insects will not be afraid of being kept in captivity by female insects due to their physical weakness, the problem of male-female conflict can be fundamentally resolved.

He completely forgot that even if he could solve such a fundamental problem, would the male insects who had been "used to" it for thousands of years be willing to return to an equal relationship?

The royal family is an absolute supporter of the law of male superiority and female inferiority. Have they ever thought that this day would come and researched various weapons to prevent this day from happening?

They must have been researched, otherwise how did Sli and Slang come about? Aren't they the high-level combat experimental subjects that the Insect Emperor was willing to sacrifice the citizens of the Empire to obtain?

Weapons should be better than experimental subjects, because the sudden disappearance of intelligent life will be noticed by insects, but the procurement of cold materials will not attract any attention.

Anyway, the weapons development department is also the most confidential unit in the empire, and all weapon designers are in the hands of the royal family. It is not difficult to design the most powerful weapons using colorful stones as raw materials.

If the speculation comes true, not only will they not be able to defeat the royal family, even if they can, most male insects will not be able to lower their noble heads and live in peace with the female insects.

The worst outcome is that the empire is plagued by internal strife, external countries are watching covetously, and star beasts take the opportunity to devour the empire.

By then, their country and race will really be destroyed.

"I will ask the teacher to ask His Royal Highness Prince Keppel to pay attention to it. I hope to gain something." Bai is not a person who is sad about the passing of time. He has always been a person who takes things one step at a time. He can't be defeated by the difficulties he imagined before the day comes.

Nan Qi once said that there are always more solutions than problems. If you don’t walk, you can build a road, climb over the wall, or break down the wall. You can always find a solution.

Moreover, he was already very lucky. It was better to find out now than to find out later when they were already fighting face to face.

Although all this is just their speculation.

Seeing Bai recover, Nan Qi felt relieved. He walked over with a plate of stir-fried vegetables and placed it in front of Bai: "Eat first, then take a nap. You'll have more energy and a sharp mind."

Bai hummed and started eating with big mouthfuls. Nan Qi was very happy to see Bai eating so happily, and continued to ask Bai what else Qiao Di had told him besides the colorful stones.

Bai said while eating.

In addition to the issue of the seven-colored stones, Jody also explained that the Insect King had the purified Promote 02 potion.

The Insect King had always kept secrets about the purified Promote02 potion. Jody knew that it was during one of his nights with the Insect King that he had drunk a lot of wine to have a good time, and afterward, he fell into a deep sleep and revealed the secret in his sleep.

"Talking in your sleep?" Nan Qi was shocked. Is this even possible? Is it so easy and hasty to obtain intelligence?

As if he could read Nan Qi's thoughts, Bai Dao said, "Qiao Di has it tough too. The Insect King has a bad habit of sexuality and enjoys torturing his bedmates. Qiao Di is a male insect and weak, but he was able to stay awake after being tortured by the Insect King. You have to say he's quite capable."

"After receiving the news, Qiao Di found an opportunity to secretly visit the secret room where the Insect King stored his potions. He was sure that the Insect King did have the purified Promote02 potion."

"Has the Insect King used it?" Nan Qi asked.

Bai shook his head. "I'm not sure. I'd have to steal the account books from the Imperial Research Institute to find out whether the Insect King actually used the potion."

"Okay, I'll make a note of this." Nan Qi's eyes turned and he smiled slyly, "When we get back, I'll go to the Imperial Research Institute to steal the account books. Maybe I can even get some Promote02 potions back."

"Then I want to go with you. If you don't take me with you, you are not allowed to go." Bai Badao said.

He knew who Nan Qi was doing this for, so he naturally wouldn't stop him, but he wouldn't let Nan Qi take the risk on his own either.

Nan Qi certainly wouldn't refuse, so he continued the conversation. Besides the potion, Qiao Di also explained something that puzzled Bai.

In the secret room next to the potion secret room, Jody saw a console that was exactly the same as the main brain console.

Because the Insect King's biological genes were needed to open the control console, Jody was afraid of alarming the Insect King and did not dare to move, and quietly withdrew from the secret room.

Later, Jody found opportunities to sneak in twice more. One time, he found that the console was open, and on the large terminal screen connected to the workbench, unclear numbers were scrolling and flashing rapidly.

Wanting to see more clearly, Jody moved closer. Suddenly, he felt as if something was staring at him. His hair stood up, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he almost fainted.

Not daring to delay any longer, Jody crawled out.

When he ran to the door of the secret room, perhaps because he was possessed by a ghost or had some feeling, Jody looked back. On the large screen of the terminal connected to the console, there was a pair of deep eyes, staring at him coldly.

"Wow, my goodness, this is the rhythm of a horror movie." Nan Qi grinned, and his vivid expression made Bai laugh.

"Jody was so frightened that he nearly fainted," Bai continued. "He quickly left the secret room. Later, he found an opportunity to go back in, wanting to see if he was hallucinating from taking too many drugs that day. But unfortunately, the control console was turned off, and he didn't see anything."

"Then he's quite courageous." Nan Qi thought for a moment and said, "The Insect King is also quite careless. Qiao Di entered the secret room so many times, but he didn't even notice it."

Bai Dao: "Maybe he underestimated me. He thought Qiao Di wouldn't dare to move under his nose, and there was no way he could find the secret room."

"That's right." Nan Qi confirmed Bai's statement. "I didn't expect Qiao Di to be so bold. Not only did he dare to move around under the Insect Emperor's nose, but he even dared to ask for confirmation after being frightened for the first time. He is indeed worthy of being a confidant of the Insect Emperor. He is not simple."

"We were able to catch him this time because he underestimated his opponent, which is not a good habit."

Nan Qi looked at Bai as he spoke, and saw that Bai nodded repeatedly with his cheeks puffed up like a hamster. He agreed very much with his comment that it was a bad habit to underestimate the enemy, and thought Bai was really cute.

Picking up the napkin and carefully wiping the white sugar threads stuck to the corners of his mouth, Nan Qi continued: "Do you think Qiao Di saw it wrong?"

Bai paused chewing for a beat, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table. After a while, he said, "I don't think Qiao Di saw it wrong, but the truth in his words still needs to be discerned."

Jody saw the cold eyes on the large screen of the terminal connected to the center console when he first entered the secret room.

Thieves are bound to feel guilty, and Qiao Di was no exception. Moreover, the secret room was in the Insect King's bedroom. Besides the guilty conscience, there was also the fear and anxiety of being discovered at any time.

In such a situation, it is not impossible that you feel unbalanced, see something scary, and your mind automatically processes the memory.

Therefore, even if Jody told the truth, they still needed to distinguish the "truth" or "falsehood" of the truth.

Nan Qi naturally understood the subtext and continued with this conjecture: "If Qiao Di didn't lie, whose eyes would appear on the terminal screen? The Insect King's, or..."

Nan Qi paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Is it an intelligent system?"

Bai shook his head: "Let's see if the teacher can find out anything."

Tro Galaxy, Central Star, Prince Keppel's Mansion.

After the aircraft came to a steady stop, Ai You quickly opened the door and carried Keppel down from the aircraft. Without waiting for the guards to take down the wheelchair, he carried Keppel towards the small villa where they lived.

Keppel is a prince, and the prince's mansion is extremely luxurious. The main building is extraordinary and every brick and tile has a unique beauty, but Keppel and Aiyou don't like to live in the main building. Instead, they live in a beautiful small villa in the backyard.

There are flowers and plants in front of this small villa, and there are two jade white trees that bloom all year round. The large snow-white flowers have a long and ethereal fragrance.

When the wind blows, the fragrance flies into the bedroom through the window, allowing Keppel to have a good sleep.

After taking Keppel into the bathroom, cleaning him up, and changing him into a comfortable robe, Aiyou put him on the bed to rest. He then asked the insect servant to bring him some delicious, easily digestible food. After watching Keppel eat, he asked if Keppel's trip went well.
