Chapter 9: Everyone is here for profit
The two calls made Zuo An turn around suddenly. It was obvious that he was waiting for someone to call him.
"What do you want to eat? I'll treat you." The rough voice was obviously from the boss who was barbecuing. He also had a little bug baby at home.
Although he has grown up and joined the army, he still hopes that someone can help the little bug when he encounters difficulties.
"Hey, boss, let me treat him. He doesn't look like he can eat much anyway." A young man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall stood up and waved at Zuo An.
He was wearing a dark blue military academy uniform and was obviously a student from a nearby school.
"Thank you, uncle." Zuo An thanked the barbecue restaurant owner and walked towards the young man from the military academy.
[You kid, aren't you afraid of being scammed?] Yuanqiu chirped, [Didn't you download the anti-fraud app?]
[Even if it gets off, I can still meet you.] Zuo An was not afraid. The ball said that as long as it was by his side, he would never be harmed.
You already have such an absolute protective shield, but you still don’t dare to recklessly?
He is a freshly graduated college student!!!
"Hi, hello, my name is Zuo An." Zuo An greeted the boy generously, then pulled out a chair and sat opposite the boy.
"Hello, my name is Bowen Irafede, a third-year student at the Augusta Military Academy." The boy had blond hair and golden eyes, and was tall and strong, but his eyes and brows were full of childishness.
"Wow, your name and your appearance are not common." Bowen looked at Zuo An curiously.
I saw that he had black hair and black eyes, and his facial features were very delicate. He didn't look like me or any of his classmates. The silver insect pattern on his neck also looked very mysterious.
"I'm from the Giant Bee Clan. Which clan are you from?"
"I..."
"You are a butterfly, one of the little butterflies of your Blue Planet, a beautiful little creature when it flies." The ball said slowly.
"Butterfly Clan!"
"The Butterfly Tribe!" Bowen's eyes lit up. The Butterfly Tribe generally lived in the imperial capital and rarely came to their border planets, even though theirs was considered the largest border hub star in the surrounding area.
"Yeah." Zuo An nodded.
Bowen was about to say something when the barbecue uncle came over with a large plate of barbecue.
"Little guy, this is free for you." The barbecue uncle brought a pink drink and placed it in front of Zuo An.
"Wow, thank you, uncle." Zuo An quickly stood up and thanked him.
"Don't be so polite." The barbecue uncle waved his hand. This little guy was so well-behaved, not at all like those noisy female insect cubs.
"Uncle Dieter is rarely so generous." Bowen smiled. It was obvious that he was very familiar with this barbecue uncle.
"What are you talking about, kid." The barbecue uncle reached out and ruffled Bowen's hair.
"Uncle Dieter." Bowen shouted in dissatisfaction.
The barbecue uncle laughed and went back to grilling. Because of his secret spices, his barbecue stall was always very popular and he didn't have much time to rest.
"Come here, try this. The calf meat of the Barnt beast is tender and juicy. It is also added with Uncle Dieter's secret spices. It is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue." Bowen handed over a string of meat similar to chicken legs.
Zuo An took it, and the aroma penetrated his nostrils. The bright red chicken drumstick, which was sizzling with oil and sprinkled with spices, kept tempting him to bite it.
Just when Zuo An opened his mouth to bite, he suddenly heard Yuanqiu's sneering sound in his ears.
【Puff.】
【What are you laughing at?】 Zuo An was dissatisfied.
"Leave me alone, just eat your food." Yuanqiu continued laughing.
Zuo An simply ignored the ball that suddenly went crazy and bit the chicken leg.
When the tip of his tongue touched the [chicken drumstick], a fresh aroma of oil mixed with spices attacked his taste buds, tempting him to bite into the [chicken], chew it, and then swallow it.
Then he bites, bites, bites!
Can't bite!
It was obviously super fragrant and tender, but Zuo An's teeth couldn't bite it at all, as if he had bitten into a piece of super strong rubber.
[Ga gaga gaga...] The ball laughed like a pig, obviously it knew it a long time ago.
[You knew it a long time ago.] Zuo An was talking to Yuanqiu while thinking about how to put down the [chicken drumstick] that he couldn't chew without arousing suspicion.
"You're human, okay? How can your teeth chew through the flesh of an alien beast?" The ball continued to chuckle at Zuo An's arrogance.
Well, it turns out that no matter how much they look like humans, the Zerg are not humans. Zuo An silently put down the chicken leg.
[Can I drink that drink?] Zuo An picked up the drink, bit the straw, and asked Yuanqiu.
"That's fine. Drinking it will be good for your health." Yuanqiu had laughed enough, and he gave Zuo An some advice on what to eat. "That pink piece of meat over there? You can chew it, but it might cause indigestion."
[Okay, you mean I can’t eat any exotic beast meat, right?] Zuo An took a sip of the drink, which tasted sour and sweet, like a mixture of watermelon and pineapple.
It tasted quite good, washing the grease and spices in his mouth into his stomach, and a cool feeling washed over his whole body, making him feel as cool as if he was in an air-conditioned room on this hot summer day.
"It tastes good." Zuo An put down the drink and looked at Bowen.
Bowen was very considerate and did not recommend any other skewers. Apparently, he thought the Butterfly Clan had their own dietary preferences.
"Are you here alone?" Bowen asked curiously.
"With my family." Zuo An naturally would not say that he came alone.
"Oh, do you want to come and travel? I know some fun places here and I can take you there." Bowen was very enthusiastic. He had never met any butterfly people before.
Zuo An smiled and changed the subject, "Why did you come to the barbecue alone and not with your classmates?"
"Oh." Bowen couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned this. The enthusiastic little dog suddenly became embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
Bowen looked at Zuo An and said, "It's easy for you Butterfly Clan to find a leader, right?"
"Ah?" Zuo An didn't understand what this had to do with his sigh. To be more precise, he didn't understand what the Lord meant at all.
"Hey, we're on a border planet. Even in a hub area, there aren't many male insects here." Bowen continued, "I have a female insect brother. He used to be engaged in border trade."
"Some time ago, we encountered space pirates. The pirates used banned drugs. Although my brother survived by chance, he had problems with his spiritual sea."
Zuo An smiled and quickly communicated with the sphere, "What is the spiritual sea?"
Yuanqiu was about to grab Qiao, but Zuo An grabbed it, held it in his arms, and squeezed it hard. "Ah, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
【Speak quickly.】
[Both male and female insects are born with a spiritual sea, commonly known as mental power. Female insects can transform, and each transformation triggers fluctuations in the spiritual sea. If these fluctuations become too frequent, they can cause a riot in the spiritual sea.]
[When the spirit sea is in turmoil, medication can only alleviate it. Close contact with a male insect can completely solve the problem. The higher the level of the male insect, the better the effect. This is why male insects are praised as unattainable.]
The small number of male insects is secondary, the key is to be useful!
The world is bustling with people seeking profit! The world is bustling with people seeking profit!
