Chapter 37: Quarrel "I know female insects can have mental riots...
Lin Xi said, "I know female insects can experience mental turmoil, and a male insect's mental power can calm them down, but it doesn't have to be a male insect. Don't we have inhibitors?"
Parker took a deep breath and said, "Boss, you only see one side of the story. The inhibitor is indeed effective, but the potion is also time-limited. No one can use it forever. Besides, the mental disorder of ordinary female insects can be suppressed with just one inhibitor, but what about military females?"
When Parker said this, Lin Xi's heart sank.
The frequent use of mental power by the military female will inevitably lead to serious mental disorder. Once it becomes serious enough...
Lin Xi thought of the old man he met in the nursing home when he was serving in the army.
His mind was already in disarray, and he had been sitting at the window waiting for his deceased partner. Later, under stimulation, he directly suffered a mental riot.
At that time, the riotous mental power was just released and was blocked by Muas. Lin Xi was not hurt, but she truly felt the emotion of destruction, pain and sorrow.
Parker asked, "Boss, have you seen the average life expectancy of female soldiers published on Starnet?"
Lin Xi nodded. He had indeed seen it: "Eighty years old."
Eighty years old was definitely considered old in his previous life.
But he forgot that the Zerg lifespan can reach three hundred years.
Eighty years old, almost a quarter.
In the previous life, the average life expectancy in ancient times was around 30 or 40 years old.
Parker said, "Mr. Male Insect must marry a female soldier. This is to protect the female soldier and also to give the female civilians hope to survive and fight for it."
Parker kept talking about science, and Lin Xi finally learned that a male insect can have a female monarch, dozens of female servants, and countless female slaves.
If one marries a female soldier, as a female monarch one can marry only one, but as a female servant one must marry two.
As military maids, the privileges of female lords and female servants are different.
The female monarch can receive spiritual comfort at least once a month, while the female servant can receive it once every three months.
When Lin Xi heard this, his expression changed. He looked at Parker and asked, "Is it true that female insects with higher mental powers are more likely to have mental riots?"
Parker looked at Lin Xi strangely, wondering why the boss asked a question that every female insect knew, but he nodded anyway.
After receiving a positive answer, Lin Xi was silent for a while because he thought of Muas.
Muas's identity card stated double B grade, but Lin Xi knew it was fake.
Lin Xi had seen B-level mental power before.
As far as he knew, Nash, who was in the same class as Muyas, had a B-level mental strength and was also an outstanding student in all aspects of the class, but he was far inferior to Muyas.
Although there is no correlation between mental power level and IQ, insects with high mental power are indeed much better at learning and mastering things than insects with low levels.
Once, Lin Xi saw the scene of Muas commanding a battle, and felt that the other party was hiding his abilities.
At that time, Lin Xi also felt that he was a love-sick person, and the insect he liked was excellent in everything he did.
Now that I think about it, it might not be untrue.
With Muas being so outstanding, the mental turmoil will only get worse.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. Lin Xi was worried about Muas when he came back.
When she came in, Muas saw Lindsey leaning on the sofa, deep in thought, and Parker sitting beside her with a bitter look on his face.
Looking up and seeing the insect coming, Lin Xi subconsciously stood up and took a step forward, but for some reason he stopped where he was. His tone was still concerned, but there was something different: "You're back? Are you hurt?"
Muas shook his head: "Just a tool bug."
Lin Xi raised his hand, then put it down again, his expression becoming nonchalant. "A male insect comes, and the entire Enamel Military Academy has to work hard. If we let the insects pick and choose like this, it's no different from a vegetable market."
Muas said calmly, "The Empire is like this."
Lin Xi looked at him: "So, you also think that female insects must be male?"
Muas didn't say anything. His thoughts were not important. What was important was that Lin Xi didn't know how important male insects were to female insects before. Now that she understood, what decision would she make?
Lin Xi thought that Muas's tacit agreement meant admission, and was speechless.
That's what Parker meant, and Muas thought so too. It made me feel suffocated just listening to it.
Lin Xi's chest was congested, and his voice rose and fell as he spoke: "Yes, I have never been to school, so I am indeed ignorant."
Lin Xi recalled the fragmented memories of his original body and said, "The edge planets are always in danger. Whether it's natural disasters or insect plagues, disasters are frequent. In times of chaos and war, there is no insect nature, only survival. Lifespan is only a hundred years or so. I have never considered so much."
This is referring to the original body and also to himself.
The original body was pitiful and miserable, and he hated himself for not fighting for it. Lin Xi felt that he was also a worthless life. He was born blind in one eye. He was abandoned, and like the original body, he was not expected to be born.
Lin Xi helps others in order to fill the emptiness in his heart. He has dreams, but he will never be able to realize them in his lifetime.
His dream was because of a man. He wanted to find this person. The other person might be his father or a relative, but Lin Xi knew that he was abandoned.
I know, but it doesn't make any sense.
It's ridiculous and really doesn't make any sense.
After living his life over again, Lin Xi still chose to join the army and has been striving for this goal because he found value in it and the value of fulfillment in it.
But now it seems that serving as military females to defend the country for those male insects is not the goal that Lin Xi wants to achieve, nor is it the result he wants to see.
How pitiful the female insects are. They use all their energy to survive, risking their lives to make military achievements, in order to accumulate chips to marry a male insect, and then sell themselves to a slave owner just to get a little pitiful respite from them.
It's so sad and funny.
Lin Xi thought that if he had to linger on for a bug like that, he might as well just die.
"As the old saying goes, a good death is worse than a miserable life, but that's not necessarily true."
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are normal. Why make your life so ugly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Muas's gaze suddenly pierced Lin Xi, so hot that it made Chong feel like a thorn in his back.
Then Muas's eyes dimmed again. Lin Xi didn't know how terrible it was when his spirit went wild, so he said such naive words.
Lin Xi subconsciously turned around, but saw Muas with his head down, and there was nothing unusual.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense. Lin Xi remained serious for only three seconds before suddenly speaking: "Why are you all silent? Is there no deep meaning in what I said?"
Parker shuddered and immediately clapped his hands. "Boss, what you said is quite right. It's really philosophical and enlightening to me."
Lin Xi glanced at him sideways: "I haven't said anything about you yet. Among the four of us insects, you are the most unreasonable. You are willing to die for that male insect named Dill..."
Parker corrected him, "It's Lord Demir. Besides, I'm not trying to die."
He still has other gentlemen to pursue.
Lin Xi glared at him: "You've become more capable, and you're still talking back?"
Parker made a zippering motion in front of his mouth and closed it.
He discovered that there was no difference between the boss and the male insect, both were stubborn and unreasonable.
Lin Xi said, "If you don't want to die, how about I burn your beloved treasure box?"
Parker's eyes widened immediately: "Boss, this, this is not good, right?"
Lin Xi said: "I can see that you are reluctant to let go. Let go, and when you need to, you should cut off."
Parker looked conflicted. "Boss, I spent quite a bit of star coins on this, wouldn't it be a shame to burn it?"
Thinking of this, Parker felt a pang of pain in his heart, because the things he bought filled more than just one box.
Lin Xi said, "Then sell it online. Didn't you say that other people couldn't get it? Buy it low and sell it high, and you can still make a lot of money."
Parker began to grimace again.
Lin Xi's expression changed immediately upon seeing this. It turned out that this person was full of lies: "Get lost, get lost. I knew you were unreliable. Get out of my sight right now."
Parker was relieved: "Okay, boss!"
Parker left, leaving only Lindsey and Muas in the living room.
In the past, Lin Xi would always try to talk to Muas, but now, Lin Xi was in no mood to flirt with him and slipped back to her room as if escaping.
When he closed the door, Lin Xi's nervous heart did not calm down. There were some things he needed to think about carefully.
…
For several days, Lin Xi didn't speak to Muas.
Either Lin Xi was not in the dormitory, or Muas was staying in the training room, almost living there.
In the second year, the training changed from simulation to reality, and the combat system also became the actual operation of mechas, including mecha driving, mecha combat, and mecha manufacturing and maintenance, which Lin Xi took as an elective course, and he also began to come into contact with real mechas.
There are fewer chances for the two insects to meet.
In this situation, not to mention Parker, even the slow-witted Sander noticed that something was wrong.
Sander asked Parker, "Did the eldest and second brother have a fight?"
Parker shook his head. "No, they were in class during the day. If they had a quarrel, the forum would have been flooded with news. Everything was quiet, so there was no quarrel. We stayed together at night and didn't hear anything. Logically, there shouldn't have been a quarrel."
Xander scratched his cheek: "But I always feel that the atmosphere between them is weird."
Parker nodded, "I felt the same way, and I thought I was overthinking it."
Sander was a little worried: "What should we do then?"
Parker spread his hands. "If either the eldest or the second brother gets upset, we can still deal with it. But if both of them are unhappy, we'd better not get into trouble. Besides, the male insect who came to inspect the situation hasn't left yet, so we still have to devote our energy to dealing with him!"
Speaking of His Excellency the Male Insect, Sander was also a little distressed: "That's the only way."
Training outside.
A shadow of an insect had been waiting outside from dusk until late at night, when the door of a training room opened and an insect walked out.
"Why work so hard? You're already very good." The waiting insect said to the insect that came out.
