Chapter 18 The advanced Zerg have personally come to Kar...
the next day.
Ai Ying watched as all the insects held the treasures they had found day and night, looking at her expectantly, and her drooping fingers twitched slightly.
She recalled the plan she had discussed with Charlotte the day before, took a deep breath, and her expression became noble and indifferent.
"Is this the offering you found?" She took two steps forward, standing before the insects, and looked at the gifts they held in their hands, her voice tinged with annoyance.
"Is it because of this garbage that you come to bother me every day?"
Upon hearing the king's words, the cores of all the insects were instantly filled with inferiority and self-loathing.
They didn't think there was anything wrong with the king's request; they only knew that they had disappointed him again.
How can they be so stupid and useless?
Wang must hate them too.
I hate how useless and incompetent they are.
Ai Ying looked at the pitiful sight of all the insects with their antennae drooping and their bodies curled up in a ball, and her heart softened for a moment.
But she quickly steeled herself and took two more steps forward.
She casually picked up a seemingly incredibly rare energy block held by an insect and tossed it onto the ground expressionlessly.
"The color is too ugly."
Then there was the sap from a higher plant on the other side. With a casual flick of her wrist, the bottle fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"This thing doesn't even deserve to appear before me!"
With each word she spoke, the insects lowered their heads further until, in the end, their heads were pressed firmly against the ground.
Their vertical pupils were dull and lifeless, filled only with deep inferiority and pleading:
They will definitely work harder and more desperately to find the treasure that the king likes.
Could you please... not hate them so much?
Ai Ying looked at the insects who wished they could bury their heads in the ground, took a deep breath, and said softly:
"Fine, you guys go and prepare a starship now."
"I want to see if there's only this kind of trash in interstellar space."
Upon hearing her words, all the insects suddenly raised their heads, their vertical pupils seemingly sparkling in the reflection of the nest's gemstone.
This is the king's command!
The king did not despise them and was still willing to command them!
Each insect answered firmly:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
They absolutely must find the starship!
Find the starship the king needs!
Seeing that none of the insects suspected she wanted to leave in a starship and were simply retreating excitedly, Ai Ying finally felt relieved.
At that moment, she suddenly noticed the extremely disheveled appearance of each insect.
Some insects had a thick layer of dust on their shells, some had scratches on their pincers, and some looked like they were out of energy, swaying with every step they took...
Ai Ying clenched her fists and spoke somewhat abruptly:
"I don't like insects that can't even take care of themselves."
She casually kicked the energy block she had thrown on the ground toward the doorway:
“You should use up all this garbage that you’ve brought over yourselves.”
"If you're still in this shabby state, don't ever show your face in front of me again."
After all the insects had left, Charlotte sighed silently.
She knew that Ai Ying had softened her heart.
Even though Ai Ying knew that these insects would want to eat her once they knew her identity, she still softened her heart.
But she also knew that this was the Ai Ying she knew, the close friend she was willing to trust and entrust her back to.
Fortunately, the plan went smoothly this time.
They will leave here safely.
Ai Ying will have a happy, safe, and fulfilling life completely unrelated to the Zerg.

Outside the insect nest.
Villa clutched the energy cube in his hand, his now dark gray vertical pupils holding it with the same care he would show for a precious treasure.
This is... a gift from the king.
Wang Mingming disliked their offerings, but did not kill them.
Instead, they gave these things back to them.
His legacy clearly told him that the king would devour any insect that displeased her.
They should have all been killed by the king the moment they displeased him.
But--
Their king... is so warm.
His worm core throbbed, filled with countless unknown emotions.
He was reborn because of the king.
The king's commands and the king's will are the meaning of his existence.
Villa looked firmly ahead:
He must find the starship the king needs!
He shook his antennae, his insect brain straining to think:
He remembered that there was a starship on Carlo.
In that direction.
An hour later, the vast majority of the Zerg on Carlo had gathered around a massive starship.
This is the most convenient location for starships to launch and leave other star systems.
The cleverest of them all, Villa, entered the starship and tried to start it up.
The starship is functioning normally.
The moment the starship was activated, the advanced Zerg, Amos, instantly sensed the movement on Carlo.
His chaotic mind, the restless worm core, and the repeated disappointments of waking from his fantasies drove him infinitely closer to madness.
His silver-gray vertical pupils were surrounded by crimson, and his long, dark gray hair spread out in a flamboyant, sticky manner throughout every corner of the starship.
He raised his head, devoid of any emotion, his bloodshot and blank pupils staring straight in the direction of Carlo Star.
Youchong activated the starship on Carlo.
There is an insect that wants to leave Carlo Star.
There is an insect that doesn't want to be king in search of the most beautiful calo stone!
His hair suddenly grew longer, creating cracks in the starship's walls. His worm-brain, on the verge of collapse, had only one thought left:
Kill them!
Kill those low-level Zerg!
Kill everyone who harbors disloyalty to the king!
The insects on Carlo were completely unaware that their actions had been detected by the higher insect race.
Before going to see the king, each insect cleaned itself up, even the messy hairs on its body became neat and tidy.
The scratches on their pincers and carapaces had completely disappeared, and their brains and cores had become strong and powerful.
They can take very, very good care of themselves!
They will not let the king down!
For the insects, every word the king uttered was a task they would have to complete throughout their lives.
Upon entering the insect hive, the foremost member, Bilia, respectfully prostrated himself and reported in a devout voice:
"My lord, we've found the starship!"
"The starship is located northwest of Carlo Star and can be launched at any time."
Upon hearing Villa's words, Ai Ying and Charlotte exchanged glances, their eyes filled with relief:
Very good!
During this period, Ai Ying was quite ruthless towards these Zerg.
If they realize something is wrong, their fate will surely be tragic.
Therefore, the sooner they can leave Carlo Star, the better it will be for them.
With a starship, if they give these insects some tasks that will occupy their attention and then express their desire to visit other star systems, they will most likely be able to leave safely.
Thinking of this, Ai Ying's expression relaxed.
She looked at the group of insects, so clean and neat, and so full of energy, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.
After she leaves, these insects should take good care of themselves.
Just as she was preparing to leave, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the insect hive.
Then, a powerful, almost insane pressure, capable of crushing a person, swept over them without restraint.
The chaotic aura belonging to the advanced insectoid race permeated the entire planet Carlo.
Ai Ying's heart sank to the bottom in an instant:
They are advanced Zerg!
The advanced Zerg have personally come to Carlo Star!

Copywriting:
In a sudden transmigration, Qi Yue arrived in a world where gods and technology coexist.
Receiving divine protection became a way to transcend social classes.
If one can gain the favor of the gods, one can acquire abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.
Looking at the seed of the god in her hand, Qi Yue knew that as long as she offered this seed to any god, she could become His most valued believer and obtain the god's supreme divine power.
But if she already possessed this seed, why did she insist on offering it to the gods?
She wanted to become a god!
To become a god, one needs a divine seed and countless believers.
Qi Yue took a deep breath:
It doesn't matter!
If there aren't enough believers, piety will make up for it!
then,
She became her most devout follower.
She would give everything she had for her faith in 'herself', asking for nothing in return.
By the soul:
She will love her God forever and ever, and never betray Him!
*
In this highly advanced interstellar world, gods and believers have achieved a delicate balance.
Believers still have faith in God, but they have begun to seek a way out, only begging for God's protection in the most critical moments.
The gods have grown weary of the countless greedy believers and will only send down their divine power sporadically.
Until one day, an unprecedentedly devout believer appeared out of nowhere.
She deeply loved the god she believed in, even though He had declined and could no longer offer her any help.
She was willing to offer her wealth, blood, life, and even soul to her god.
Such a devout soul, such a pure soul—
How could one not move the gods?
They blessed her, they removed obstacles for her, and they gave her all the temptations that the gods could offer.
But she never wavered in her beliefs.
For the first time, they learned what jealousy was.
