Chapter 59 What? I became a substitute? ?

Shi Cunjin's smile froze. He had been in this world for more than a month. Six days later, this body would be celebrating its coming of age.

During this month, Shi Cunjin has witnessed many differences between Zerg and humans, including appearance, language, habits, spirit, irrational growth and development, and weird gender ratio. When he used his strong psychological qualities to withstand all of this, this alien world once again revealed its crazy side.

A week ago, Luo Lai and Luo Li were only 152cm tall, which was the data that Shi Cunjin had specifically measured.

Now, Luo Lai, who was leaning against the car window, wanting to stick his silver head in so that his uncle could touch it, actually had to bend over!

Biology, worldview, and information beyond common sense all mixed up in Shi Cunjin's mind: Can you insects grow taller by blowing air?

It can grow nearly 20cm in a week. If this happened to a humanoid creature, it would be like a horror movie!

Luo Lai put his head into the car window and waited for his uncle to touch him, but he didn't get to see his uncle touch him. When he looked up, he found that Luka from Bill's family was sitting next to his uncle.

Luca was holding a peeled orange in his hand, occupying the prime seat that only brothers could sit in during the day, and was giving Luo Lai a silly smile.

Luo Lai: ...

"Ah? Ah!" The five-year-old larva, who seemed to have stepped into adolescence in one step, had a broken expression in an instant. Its whiskers stood up quickly, like a snake's body suddenly arched, and the tips of its whiskers almost hit its uncle's face.

Before Shi Cunjin could react, Luo Lai realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but in his haste, his posture was wrong and his silver head hit the car window with a loud bang. The childish face of the boy was wrinkled and his angry whiskers trembled in pain, like two little snakes that were hit in the vital spot.

My uncle really doesn't know what to say.

Shi Cunjin opened the car door and moved to the side, saying helplessly: "Be careful."

Luo Lai sat down, and as usual, he hooked his arm around his uncle's arm and lowered his head to burrow into his uncle's arms and armpits.

Shi Cunjin pressed against Luo Lai's head, pushed him back, and smiled: "Sit up straight."

Luo Lai:?

The training at the conscription center was very effective. Luo Lai's timidity and dullness had almost disappeared. He was a little unhappy now, and his expression showed a little bit, with a pout, but he was still very well behaved. His uncle asked him to sit up straight, and he immediately showed the results of a week's training, with his back straight and his shoulders spread out, like a neat ruler.

It's hilarious to see the childish little bug trying hard to act like a tough military man.

As the car started steadily and drove towards Recruiting Station No. 8, Shi Cunjin asked Luo Lai how his week had gone.

Without his brothers to help him, Luo Lai still speaks a little slowly, but he can now speak in long sentences.

"It's very good inside, the coaches are very strong. There are strong and weak players in the same period, we have a pleasant communication, and we are all good friends."

At this point, Luo Lai's expression relaxed slightly, his silver whiskers raised a little arc again, and his pronunciation became heavier, like a little monitor in elementary school who was called on to lead the reading: "I have good grades, all A's, and I already have a lot of friends. Everyone is willing to come to my house!"

Luo Lai turned his head, his eyes bright, "Uncle."

Shi Cunjin understood immediately that if Luo Li was there, the next sentence would be exaggeration.

"That's great." My uncle asked in a gentle voice, "How do you communicate with your good friends on a daily basis?"

Luo Lai immediately puffed out his chest: "Fist! We are divided into classes according to age. I am the tallest and heaviest in the class, and the blade membrane on the tip of the wing is the hardest and sharpest. I am the boss. I learned a lot from the weekly ranking competition. The coach was very satisfied. He said that I would be a good soldier. I also beat the squad leader of the second-level class. He was very tall. When I pressed him to the ground, he almost knocked me over."

Luo Lai rolled up the sleeves of his conscription school uniform, revealing two ugly scars on his arms that were almost healed, and said with pride: "But I am very heavy. I flew up and knocked him down, knocking out his stomach fluid. I pinched the base of his wings and punched his nose. He is a little tearful, but also easy to talk to. He promised to come to my house for dinner during the unified holiday next week!"

In the carriage, Luo Lai's childish, loud and high-pitched voice was very lively, and little Luca opened his mouth with a face full of longing.

Bill had been listening quietly, and inadvertently, he saw his employer smiling in the rearview mirror.

The smile seemed to be welded to the face, with the corners of the lips neither moving up nor down, like a solidified mask.

Shi Cunjin cleared his throat: "So, you hammered him to the ground and invited this squad leader by force?"

Luo Lai blinked, and his excited childish voice suddenly calmed down, sounding a little cautious: "Hmm..."

"He's not angry." Luo Lai said again quickly: "He really is not angry. He stood up, shook my hand, and said he would come to play with me next time."

Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, insect characteristics. Shi Cunjin said to himself twice in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold Luo Lai's arm, and touched the two ugly scars, which were long and weird, like a stitched centipede.

“Is this also part of the training?”

When Shi Cunjin traveled around the world in the 21st century to collect materials, he visited many war-torn countries. He often saw similar scars on some old soldiers who were bare-chested and carrying guns, so he specially consulted and asked what kind of injuries would form such shapes.

The veterans said:

The knife first peels and cuts open the intact muscle, then cuts and pulls the wound, damaging important nerves and severing major blood vessels and tendons. Therefore, after the wound heals, the scar will heal into a strange shape, and it will be difficult to lift heavy objects. Even if you don't hold anything, your hands will shake.

In this way, the young and good guys who can defend the homeland are useless.

The scar on Luo Lai's arm is very light in color. It must have taken a while before he was treated when he was injured.

The Zerg's healing technology is advanced. When Shi Cunjin first came here, he was beaten half to death, but after one injection, he was alive and kicking. The internal and external injuries healed as fast as refreshing the game.

Now, after Luo Lai's arm had received treatment, there were still such ugly shallow scars... Shi Cunjin touched it without saying a word.

During the first three days that Luo Lai entered the conscription center, he almost had both his hands chopped off. The coaches there didn't care about little bugs, and the only people who would do such a thing would be his classmates of the same period.

The car suddenly became quiet.

Luo Lai was a little at a loss. He whispered, "I'm sorry, uncle. This is not training. It was the first day and I was slow to react. No, I won."

"In the end, I won. They wanted to be my friends."

Shi Cunjin Luolai put down the sleeves of his school uniform, buttoned up his cuffs carefully, and said calmly, "You did a good job. However, the invitation plan is cancelled."

Luo Lai showed a dazed expression: "I..."

Shi Cunjin touched his head, fulfilling the little insect's unspoken wish, and gently taught Luo Lai: "Making friends does not rely on fists. You must always be wary of those insects that swing fists at you and want to harm you when you first meet them."

"Because when they first looked at you, they didn't see you as an equal, but as a piece of meat."

"No bug will make friends with a piece of meat. Later, they will bow their heads because they are afraid of your strength and fists, but as long as you are a little weak, their position will quickly change, because they will always remember that they have successfully hurt you. These bugs will never be your friends."

Shi Cunjin smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to distinguish. Treat them the way they treat you. Friends are only based on equal status. Luo Lai, you have to learn to endure loneliness."

Luo Lai nodded obediently: "Okay, uncle. I've memorized it all."

…that’s fine.

The car drove steadily to Recruiting Station No. 8.

The scene reappeared, Rowley was led out by Bill, and immediately rushed over and stuck his silver head towards his uncle's car window. When he looked in, he saw his brother Luo Lai sticking to his uncle, and he let out a happy "Ah!"

Seeing Luka sitting on the right side of his uncle, occupying the golden position that should belong to him, Luo Li had to stand up immediately! This time Luo Lai was closer to the window, and was hit in the eye by his brother's bee whisker. Luo Lai: "Ouch!"

"Ah! Ah?" Raleigh suddenly raised his leg to step on the car door handle, and he actually wanted to climb in through the window immediately.

Bill was quick to act. He grabbed Rowley's waist and pulled him to a stop like pulling a carrot.

Luo Lai frowned and reached out to grab the bee whiskers that were jumping around.

Raleigh quickly pulled his head out and slammed it twice against the top of the car window where his brother had slammed. He hissed and came in from the other side of the car door with his beard hanging down.

"Don't make a fuss. I'm going home to have a big dinner today."

Shi Cunjin held Luka on his lap. He originally wanted to sit with the little bug in his arms all the way, but this action suddenly made the twins' tentacles stand up. Their two pairs of green eyes looked over at him eagerly, completely unaware that they had risen in altitude and were no longer suitable to be little cotton-padded jackets.

Shi Cunjin: …

Declined.

Shi Cunjin passed Luka forward, and Bill took him over and carried him to the passenger seat.

He reminded: "Fasten your seat belts."

Bill: “Yeah.”

…

After the car was stable, Luo Lai and Luo Li entered the car first with their travel bags. When Shi Cunjin got out of the car, Bill suddenly called him, "Sir."

Shi Cunjin stopped, turned his head to look into Bill's eyes, and asked in confusion, "What did you forget?"

Bill opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out. He was speechless for a moment before he said, "…If you don't mind, I can train Luo Lai and Luo Li for a while and teach them some good moves."

Shi Cunjin didn't say anything right away, so Bill immediately said, "I've been awarded the Red Dot Medal, so I can teach you a lot. Snipers have a high survival rate and are easy to make military achievements."

"I know." Shi Cunjin smiled and said, "It's just a little strange. Why do you suddenly say this?"

"Sales at the bike shop have been slow lately? Do you want to be paid daily?"

Bill said, "No, everything is fine."

Bill was silent for a moment, then said bluntly, "If possible, I would like you to help me teach the insects I raise. I don't need the driver's salary."

"…If only there had been a bug who could have said this to me when I was in the draft hall…"

Bill's masseter muscles bulged slightly, and he was gloomy and difficult to explain: "I trusted some of my conscription colleagues too much...to the point of losing all my comrades who were as close to me as my own family."

Bill held Luka by the hand. Luka didn't understand what was said. He held half an orange in his hand and smiled foolishly at his adoptive father.

"I hope that when their young insects grow up, they won't be as stupid as me, as stupid as pigs and dogs, not knowing what insects are and harming themselves."

Shi Cunjin closed the car door and said to Bill, "Okay."

Bill looked up suddenly.

Shi Cunjin smiled and said, "I hope they can learn a little from you. Being kind is not a bad thing. It's a small matter. Send them to my bookstore on a holiday."

Bill said excitedly: "I will teach all the tricks to Luo Lai and Luo Li!"

Shi Cunjin joked, "Don't teach me the idea of ​​lying on the roof as a bodyguard."

…

night.

After the family finished their meal, Shi Cunjin took his nephews to the porch and let Luo Lai and Luo Li lean against the porch pillars one by one. He took out a tape measure to measure their new height and marked it with a white marker.

"167.5."

"169.5."

Raleigh shouted happily, "Ah!"

Luo Lai: …

Luo Lai reached out to pull Luo Li's beard. Both brothers entered formal academies, one studied land warfare and the other studied armed police. They had different fighting systems, and when the two started fighting, neither could defeat the other.

Shi Cunjin: "Stop."

This time the shout was still too slow.

The two big ones were tied to the ground with each other. They had just learned the new fighting skills, and they couldn't win the fight. Subconsciously, they released the insect clan's most powerful back-wing blades, pulling each other up, trying to take the upper position and pin their brother to the ground to show off their power.

When their uncle shouted "stop", Luo Lai and Luo Li stopped subconsciously. They pulled and bit each other and flapped their wings to fly more than one meter into the air. When their wings stopped, their buttocks landed on the ground first.

Shi Cunjin squatted beside the two brothers, rolled up a tape measure and tapped them on the head. Luo Lai and Luo Li quickly got up and wanted to fold their wings, but were stopped.

"Let me see your wings."

Luo Lai and Luo Li stood a little further away from each other and released complete bee scale wings. Under the light, these two pairs of transparent glass-like bee wings were overflowing with amber light. From the wing root to the wing tip, there were two long needle-shaped brown-black bone knives supporting them on the left and right. The bone knives were covered by wing membranes. The wing membranes outside the wing root were like colored glaze and responded to light. Under the warm household light, the wing membranes of these two pairs of wings appeared translucent honey color, like handicrafts made of amber.

This was the first time that Shi Cunjin saw the wings of the Zerg. They had the characteristics of 21st century insects, as well as articulated knives that were sharp weapons that adapted to the growth of alien races.

From observation, we can see that the wings of Luoli's unicorn are slightly longer than those of Luolai's.

Shi Cunjin remembered that Luo Li had said that his unicorn wings had been stepped on and broken by his father's comrade-in-arms, but after they recovered, he could fly farther than his brother.

At this thought, Shi Cunjin thought of the strange and terrifying development of the Zerg Tribe. He asked, "What do you eat in the conscription station?"

Luo Lai and Luo Li folded their wings and moved closer, almost as tall as Shi Cunjin.

Shi Cunjin: ...

He took a few steps back and walked towards the small living room, with his nephews following closely behind him.

My uncle sat in his work chair, and they just crossed their legs and sat on the floor. Out of habit, they pressed their silver heads against my uncle's thighs and began to talk.

"Nutrients."

“It tastes weird.”

“Every night, my body aches.”

"The coach said that's the bone growing."

"The instructor praised me."

"The fundamentals are good."

“So, the nutritional supplements are working great.”

"I am the tallest, strongest, and heaviest among my peers!"

“I’m the boss.”

“I’m the boss.”

Shi Cunjin frowned when he heard this. How could a child grow like this? They are not 21-day-old white-feathered chickens. He asked, "How long are you going to keep eating like this?"

"we,"

“Stop.”

“Nutrients have cycles.”

"We're already here."

"I'll stay in this shape until I'm 16."

"The next stage is to take nutritional supplements to strengthen bones."

"Only in this way can the unicorn wings and body armor withstand the beating."

Raleigh stretched out his hands, crossed them and made flying gestures, and said longingly: "My coach's wing blade is so long and hard that it can tear through steel plates with one cut."

Not to be outdone, Luo Lai started talking about how great his coach was.

Shi Cunjin quietly watched the two insect cubs competing with each other. They had been locked up for too long. The college-style collective life and systematic education were the best medicine for Luo Lai and Luo Li.

Luo Lai and Luo Li could spit out anger at each other with every short word, and when a small war was about to break out, their uncle came down and touched them.

"Okay."

Two pairs of straight bee whiskers turned into soft snakes in a second; it only took a second for the two brothers to quarrel and a second to make peace.

The two brothers quickly changed the topic of conversation from wings to becoming friends.

Shi Cunjin repeated to Luo Li what he had said to Luo Lai in the afternoon.

He wanted a Fate Wynn embryo, but he wasn't going to risk the safety of his two children to test it.

One week into Luo Lai's school life, he nearly had his hand chopped off by a classmate. Due to his uncle's advice, after he recovered, he still wanted to make friends with those black shield native insects.

Luo Lai didn't feel anything was wrong, but Shi Cunjin was the same. He changed his previous strategy and told his nephews that they could live their college life however they wanted, and if they bullied others, they would give an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Luo Lai and Luo Li asked: "No, friends?"

Shi Cunjin said: "You shouldn't make friends just for your uncle. Your uncle was wrong before. You should make new friends in your own way, okay?"

Luo Lai and Luo Li thought about it and nodded.

Shi Cunjin thought of something and emphasized, "Beating a classmate until he vomits is not a way to make friends. This is not okay. You can't use the unicorn wings of a classmate to threaten others to go home with you. Do you understand?"

Luo Lai and Luo Li's whiskers were in sync, and they immediately hid in their hair like little snakes entering a hole, and slowly responded: "Um...Okay."

It was eight o'clock in the evening and the happy parent-child time ended.

This time, there was no need for Shi Cunjin to coax them. The twins stood up, pulling each other, and like every night in the past week, they gave their uncle a big hug before bed and said obediently:

“Don’t interrupt work.”

"Good night, uncle."

Shi Cunjin smiled and watched the children go up.

Sit down with a smile, open your notebook with a smile, and turn on your smart brain ring with a smile.

The system exclaimed in my mind: "These two bugs are growing so fast. When you hugged them, your feet were off the ground!"

Shi Cunjin smiled: "Shut up."

Soon, the smiling mask that kept the adults calm cracked.

Shi Cunjin logged into the anchor account and opened the live broadcast room first as usual, and hung up the start reminder to warm up, and the comment area immediately rushed into a huge wave!

[Fuck! You came out from the prison planet! ? ]

[Didn’t the anchor Fate get arrested? Capital Alliance just announced the news ten minutes ago! Why is the live broadcast room lit up again!!!]

[Wow, that's awesome! You actually escaped from prison and started a live broadcast! ]

[What?! Holy shit!! Who is that bug that was caught? ? ! !]

[No way! Could it be that the anchor Fate is really a privileged and superior species of the xx family? ? Is the bug that was caught in the news a scapegoat! ]

[What! Damn! Fate's true identity has revealed the three most powerful families in the Capital Alliance! The Capital Alliance's entire territory blockade order was a waste of time!!]

[What! Is this true? According to the process of elimination and based on the background story of [Roommate], only the heir of the Jane family, one of the three major families, can freely enter and exit the cat's eye. I heard that this talented person is also a childhood sweetheart of a senior gentleman! ]

[What!? ? Is the real identity of anchor Fate actually that Master Jian Ning! ? ]

[Oh shit! So the rumor that the court bug broke into the Janening family is true! ! ]

Shi Cunjin: ...what?

9 sentences, I was caught, I was released, I became a substitute?

The system proudly puffed out its chest: "I did something insignificant! That Christmas hat always wants to take off your vest! Let him taste the glorious treatment of anchor Fate!"

Shi Cunjin: …

Going to jail for chasing stars is quite a shocking thing even in the 21st century.
