Chapter 87 Will the white-haired, expressionless boy definitely get doused with champagne? ^^……
Inside the Hurricane Star Pirates' starship, above the Ninth Star Sector.
"Boss... what should we do? This is the seventh group of people we've contacted, and still no one has the mental strength to match ours. Sigh, do you think it might be related to the fact that the boss is a hybrid?" Pirate A was keeping watch on the ship's deck, sipping his drink and chatting with his companion, Pirate B.
Pirate B shook his head and said with a slurred speech, "I don't think it can be because of the mixed blood. After all, most of our pirate crew are Zerg hybrids. I've never heard of anyone being unable to have sex because of being mixed blood, hahaha!"
“You really have no guts,” Pirate A said, pursing his lips and whispering in his companion’s ear, “Boss, this is probably a genetic disease, congenital frigidity. It would be fine if it were another race, but the problem is that it’s an insectoid, and a male one at that.”
"Yes, the mental rejection leads to physical rejection, making it impossible to find a female insect for mental guidance. I wonder how polluted Boss's mental sea is now. If Boss loses control and goes crazy, we'll all be dead, haha."
"Speaking of which, even that Grade A female insect we went to so much trouble and spent so much money to find last time couldn't do anything?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it. I don't know what went wrong with the boss that day. He just sensed someone's mental energy probing him and immediately reacted. That female insect was so angry she almost blew up our entire starship, haha. Apparently, after the two insects started fighting, they immediately activated their semi-insect forms in the bedroom and literally burst the room apart!"
"That was intense! I went out with the captain that day and didn't know anything. Honestly, I missed witnessing such an explosive scene." His companion shook his head with a regretful look. "But, you know, that female insect's actions are understandable. If I were her, being invited here through all sorts of means, lowering myself to provide mental guidance to a Zerg hybrid, only to be harshly rejected and attacked without any explanation, I'd explode too! Hahahaha!"
"Buzz—!" Before the space pirates could say anything more, their wrist devices suddenly began to vibrate violently. This was a common device used by space pirate groups, so there was no need to worry about signal interference. It consumed energy very slowly and was mainly used for transmitting information between people.
"The captain told us to gather, and we'll talk later." Pirate A glanced at the message.
"What are we going to talk about later? Have you been drifting on the sea of stars for too long and forgotten what day it is today? Today is our usual day to go out for some fresh air!" Pirate B slapped Pirate A hard with all his might, making Pirate A wince and rub his shoulder.
"Damn it! Today is the day to replenish supplies! You went way too far! You almost killed me!" Seeing the person who had done the bad thing run into the ship quickly, Pirate A hurriedly chased after her and kicked her so hard she fell flat on her face.
"Damn it!" The space pirate who had been kicked away got up from the ground, turned around and kicked back. The two of them walked into the starship and waited for orders.
Inside the Hurricane Star Pirates fleet's flagship, a young boy with snow-white hair blinked his light pink eyes, his equally snow-white, long eyelashes fluttering as he looked hesitantly at the person next to him.
"Yad, why do I have to go out too?" Garman asked his deputy with his usual expressionless face and dead fish eyes.
If Yad hadn't grown up with him and understood him so well, he probably would have thought Garman was expressing dissatisfaction. Yad knew that his commander genuinely didn't understand why he was being asked to leave.
Yad smiled slightly and sat down, pressing his hand on Gaman's shoulder. He had light brown hair that looked fluffy and easy to touch. He was taller, and holding Gaman's hand looked like an older brother holding his younger brother's.
He smiled and said earnestly, "Commander, do you remember when we last disembarked?"
Garman shook his head honestly.
Yad continued, "You should also get off the ship and get some fresh air, relax a bit..." He was interrupted by Garman before he could finish speaking.
The white-haired boy blinked his dead fish eyes and said seriously, "I don't feel bad."
Yad sighed and rubbed his forehead. He wasn't exactly known for his good temper; he was quick to anger. But Gaman had always been a bit dim-witted, quiet, and extremely stubborn—once he set his mind on something, he was determined to do it. Over time, Yad had gradually developed his current patient and good-natured temperament, especially when talking to Gaman.
"Hiss, you haven't forgotten why we originally formed this space pirate group, have you?"
"To cure illness."
“Yes, it was to treat your illness,” Yad sighed. He and Garman had risked serious injuries to escape from Harvin’s clutches just for the sake of ‘treatment’.
Garman suffered from mental disorder from a young age. He was an abandoned Zerg hybrid, and as he grew older, the Zerg bloodline within him became more pronounced, and his mental disorder worsened. Every time he used his mental power, he would experience a tearing pain in his mental sea, which was even more severe after he transformed into a Zerg, and he was extremely prone to losing control.
Mental disorder has different causes. After examination, Garman learned that his mental disorder was caused by a congenital genetic imbalance in his body, where the insectoid genes could not coexist harmoniously with the human genes, even though his human genes only accounted for a very small part.
Gaman's insectoid race is a hunting spider-like race. Yad wanted to sneak into the insectoid territory to find other insectoids of the same species and explore a solution, but the insectoids were under martial law, and as insectoid hybrids and males, they could not infiltrate at all.
After that, they formed the Hurricane Pirates during their wanderings in the starry sea and began to rob, no, I mean, to search for solutions everywhere.
The Zerg have a slow growth period, and most male Zerg retain their juvenile size even after reaching adulthood, only transforming into adult male form when they have offspring. Due to factors such as mental disorders, Gaman is not only smaller than Zerg of the same age, but also lacks a mating season, which is commonly known as apathy, a pathological condition.
But who says he has to be indifferent forever? What if he gets cured? That would be killing two birds with one stone. After all, most of the male insect's mental illnesses can be treated by asking the female insect for mental guidance during mating season. Yad thought this was a good breakthrough and began to work on finding a suitable female insect.
Gaman's mental strength level is S-rank, but S-rank female insects are basically all insectoid royalty and nobility, and they are impossible to find. Moreover, even if they did find them, they certainly wouldn't lower themselves to provide mental guidance to an insectoid hybrid. It would be good enough if they didn't kill them.
S-rank female insects were out of the question; he'd heard that some lower-ranking female insects could be hired for a fee. So, through a combination of coercion and enticement, Yad managed to get quite a few female insects to "visit" him.
However, Gaman was a terrible insect, both in spirit and mental. He was extremely averse to the female insects that were invited, and he wouldn't even make the slightest physical contact with them. He would react negatively even if his mental energy made the slightest contact.
After some research into Zerg, Yad concluded that the reason might be due to the low level of the opposing female Zerg. So, some time ago, he painstakingly contacted an A-rank Zerg, an ant-race noble who had come to trade contraband. He went through numerous connections to reach the female Zerg, sending her three-star ship's worth of items before finally getting a meeting. Fortunately, the noble was also interested in spider-race hybrids and agreed to come and see her.
The result! That wretched bug, Gaman, was only given a hand by the female bug lord on the shoulder, and he suddenly transformed completely and began to attack! The female bug lord had never been so insulted, and she was immediately enraged. The two bugs started fighting inside the starship, almost blowing up their entire fleet!
Thinking of this, Yad's expression turned ferocious; he had been racking up repair bills for a whole week! After this incident, he finally understood that Gaman was now completely unable to contact any of the female insects, so Yad abandoned this method; he didn't want to be blown up again!
"Anyway, just think of it as going out for a trip," Yad was exhausted, both physically and mentally. Strictly speaking, Gaman, as the captain, was mainly responsible for external combat, and he was the one who handled the remaining food. Yad desperately needed rest; otherwise, he would also suffer from stress. Just looking at Gaman's harmless, expressionless, boyish face was driving him crazy.
Garman raised his innocent-looking, chubby face, his pink eyes wide open, the six eye sockets on his cheeks splitting open slightly, revealing a pale red interior, as if trying to express some kind of doubt.
Afraid that this guy would say something that would give you a heart attack, Yad quickly pushed him away. He only felt relieved after he saw Garman leave the starship.
"casino?"
Pei Qing stood in front of the exquisite and retro gate, tilting her head to look at the scene before her. She realized that the Ninth Star District really didn't pretend at all. It was a casino, and it was a casino. They didn't add the word 'underground' because it was clearly built above ground.
She stepped forward. The door was sensor-activated, and the latest androids stood on either side as attendants. No wonder this was the sector with the highest daily transaction volume; it was truly extravagant, even willing to use androids worth tens of millions as doormen.
This casino is quite different from the ones Pei Qing has been to before. It emphasizes a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere. Waitstaffs cycle along a set route, bringing fresh wines with each cycle. As for food, you can choose to summon a waiter or go to the rooftop restaurant.
Pei Qing casually grabbed a glass of champagne, swirling the pale golden liquid as he strolled around, looking every bit the street hustler. Even so, no one gossiped, which shows how high the service staff's standards were.
She wandered to the spiral staircase, and without noticing, bumped into something, causing her hand to tremble and spill all the wine.
"Excuse me... why is it a child?" Pei Qing looked down and saw a slender, white-haired little boy, not very tall, only reaching her chest. When the boy looked up, his two eyes and six pupils on his delicate, expressionless face stared straight at her.
Uh, it's the Zerg. Zerg seem to have a slower growth cycle. Maybe they just look young? They might be seventy or eighty years old underneath, or even over a hundred.
Pei Qian bent down and casually wiped the clothes of the old man (who seemed to be an uncle or a stoic young man) whose face was expressionless. Tsk, she was disgusted by her own imagination.
"Um, I'm really sorry," Pei Qing said, pulling out a piece of the other man's shirt hem to wipe his front, where the wine had been spilled, making the most of the spot. The thin silk shirt was almost completely soaked, revealing his porcelain-white skin and small patches of pale pink.
As she wiped, Pei Qing suddenly sensed something was amiss. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the slight wrinkles in the other person's semi-transparent shirt, where the originally flat color blocks were gradually becoming more three-dimensional. She slowed her wiping movements, and the atmosphere gradually became strange, a one-sided one.
This young boy—no, wait, this middle-aged man who looks younger than his age (that's right, Pei Qing had already decided in her mind)—could he be an old pervert who deliberately pretends to be young to have fun at the casino by taking advantage of his expressionless, boyish face?
No way, no way, she actually encountered something this...? Does she have some kind of attraction buff that draws in perverts?!
Garman also noticed the changes in his body. He tilted his head and looked down carefully. His body was very obedient. He had never experienced such a change before. Was this what Yad was talking about... the reaction?
Strange, he didn't seem to reject the female insect's touch. Why? He didn't seem to have any desire to fight either; instead, he felt a strange, unprecedented sensation. She was special.
Garman's mental energy unconsciously overflowed, drifting towards the special black-haired female insect, slowly enveloping her in a misty manner.
Seeing the person opposite him standing motionless, staring intently at his pants, Pei Qing frowned deeply, her heart filled with panic. "No way," she thought, "this guy really seems to be a pervert. Damn, who would stare at that spot like that? Ugh...is he mentally ill?!"
It is known that both Zerg and humans possess mental abilities; therefore, it is also possible for Zerg to develop mental illnesses! Moreover, Zerg mental illnesses are even more lethal! Pei Qing retreated step by step, afraid of disturbing the mentally ill person, afraid that the mentally ill person would turn into a Zergling in a fit of rage and beat him up.
In the chaos, Pei Qing's mental energy slipped out unnoticed. She didn't feel anything, but the insectoid on the other side suddenly trembled. Startled, she didn't care about anything else and ran away as fast as she could.
Screw it, I don't care anymore! I'm outta here!
Garman's mental energy was touched by the mental energy of that special female insect, and the brief contact of just a few seconds created a connection-like function. Her porcelain-white cheeks quickly flushed red, her pink eyes filled with mist, her body trembled uncontrollably and went limp, and her legs shook so badly that she could barely support herself.
He slid slowly down the wall, choosing to endure this strange sensation. Gaman clutched the front of his shirt, his legs tightly intertwined, and he kept panting heavily.
After the strange thrill subsided, Gaman stared blankly at his clothes, not understanding why they had become so wet and wrinkled.
He stared blankly in the direction where the black-haired female insect had disappeared, and for the first time since birth, he felt an intense desire to obtain something.
Pei Qing hurriedly fled, vowing never to return to such a place. However, her stroll around wasn't entirely fruitless; at least she now knew where she was headed for the next few days.
Not far from the main planet lies a mineral-rich planet, whose energy crystal production ranks among the highest in the entire Federation. If she can't solve other problems, she at least needs to solve the 'food' problem first. She doesn't think Feng Qi will still recognize her when she's starving and has lost her human form.
Most importantly, Pei Qing had a vague premonition that if she remained without energy for too long, even greater harm might occur. Her intuition was always accurate, and she trusted it.
Having a female insect identity is really convenient, isn't it? A moment later, Pei Qing waved the freshly made starship ticket in her hand and grinned mischievously.
Believe it or not, with her current imposing female insect appearance, if she goes out for a stroll, hordes of fresh and beautiful young male insects will come up to her, vying to buy her food, drinks, and starship tickets. There's even a shy young male insect who wants to invite her to ride in his private starship.
However, just over ten minutes later, Pei Qian regretted it after boarding the flight.
Because they were kidnapped by space pirates!
These space pirates only tied up female insects, especially powerful and tall female insects like Pei Qing!
