Chapter 474 It turns out they took advantage of a loophole.
Simon put down his glass and quickly followed.
He would never let such a good opportunity slip by!
A surge of intense excitement clashed with a strange heat within him, making his head spin and his vision begin to blur slightly.
"I must have been too excited..."
Simon shook his head, took a deep breath, and then took a few more steps forward.
He soon arrived at the lounge reserved for nobles.
The air seemed to be filled with an insect-attracting scent.
It was like a vague pheromone unique to male insects, which made him even more certain that Bass was ahead.
Simon licked his dry lips, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and quickly followed silently once again.
The closer he got to the reserved lounge, the hotter he felt.
An indescribable desire surged through his body, almost causing him to lose all reason.
Finally, he stumbled to the door of the lounge, where the smell was now even stronger.
He could now confirm that it was indeed male pheromones, which explained why he felt dizzy.
It seems that Bass and him are a match made in heaven, even their pheromones are so compatible!
He couldn't tell exactly what it tasted like anymore, but that didn't matter!
All he knew was that the male insect inside was very attractive to him, and that he would soon be his!
Blinded by desire, Simon could no longer restrain himself. He roughly ripped off the top few buttons of his suit, then pushed open the door to the lounge and rushed in.
"Lord Bass, I've arrived..."
After he went in, the heavy, soundproof door to the lounge closed gently with a click and locked automatically.
At the other end of the corridor, Bass stood there calmly, showing no signs of discomfort whatsoever.
He glanced at the tightly closed door, then looked down at the mechanical insect that was solemnly hiding next to him at his feet, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Are you sure you invited all the male insects that the Thomas family is on good terms with inside?"
Bass's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.
The mechanical insect immediately tapped its round head. "001 confirmed. Four target male insects have been safely delivered to the designated coordinates. The mission was executed flawlessly!"
It even nimbly spun around in place, "And there's one male beetle from Thomas's house, 001 didn't miss a single one!"
The mechanical insect's electronic eye screen also displayed a wink expression, clearly waiting for praise.
Bass looked at the overly lively mechanical insect, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
He remembered that most of the family's mechanical insects were rigid and strictly programmed, but this mechanical insect in front of him... talked a lot and made a lot of movements, and felt that it was quite talkative.
Bass gave a nonchalant reply, "Hmm, not bad. But as a mechanical insect carrying out a secret mission, you should be more aloof and speak less to appear unfathomable, understand?"
The mechanical bug looked at Bass in confusion, then slowly tilted its head to the left, and then slowly tilted it to the right.
After a few letter bubbles appeared on its screen, it seemed to suddenly understand something, and they all turned into exclamation marks.
The next second, it immediately imitated Bass and leaned against the wall, even deliberately lowering the frequency of its electronic voice, "Command received, 001 has completed its mission, requesting the latest command."
Its identical movements to Buzz almost made Buzz laugh.
This was the first time he had ever seen a mechanical insect mimic a real insect in such an insect-like way, and do so with such seriousness.
Bass was very curious about how Tan Chi had managed to create such a tiny thing.
Suddenly, he remembered a crucial question, "001, I remember that the Empire's mechanical insects all have the same core instruction: that the mechanical insects should harm the male insects in any way..."
How did 001 manage to get those male insects into the room?
Isn't this against the rules?
Mechanical insects that usually harm male insects will activate self-destruct mode, so how did 001 get around it?
The mechanical insect turned to look at Bass and spoke in its newly learned aloof tone, "001 did not violate the core instructions. 001 just encountered a few male insects that were not sleeping well. For their health, it provided them with a more suitable resting place."
Bass: "..."
Good heavens, he exclaimed.
He then asked why the mechanical insect wasn't destroyed by the self-destruct program.
It turns out they exploited a loophole.
One of the core instructions for the mechanical insects is that any special actions taken by the mechanical insects to protect the health of the male insects can be disregarded as harmful behavior.
These male insects don't usually do anything good, so it's normal for them to lack sleep.
By exploiting this loophole, the male insects were transported in a harmless manner, without causing any physical or psychological harm to them. No wonder the mechanical insects were able to accomplish this so easily.
As expected of something Ah Chi came up with, his ability to exploit loopholes is truly inherited.
Bass sighed helplessly, then looked at the mechanical insect and asked, "Do we need to evacuate now?"
The mechanical insect scanned the area in the lounge again before saying, "Not yet. 001 needs to continuously monitor the vital signs of all life forms inside, especially the three male insects that were sent in. We need to avoid any unexpected risks. It's easy for the temperature to get too high!"
After all, this is a palace banquet. If a death caused by an insect were to occur, it would definitely have a negative impact on the reputation of the royal family.
Listening to the mechanical insect's words, Bass immediately understood why it had stayed here to monitor the situation.
However, when he thought of the mechanical bug's choice of words, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
“XX…”
Bass repeated the word, and he suddenly felt that the mechanical insect's choice of words was... exceptionally precise and insightful.
He could imagine just how utterly insane the situation was inside the lounge at that moment.
Tsk tsk, you can't blame other insects for this, blame Simon for bringing it on himself!
To give the male ruler of the Insect King an aphrodisiac at a palace banquet is suicidal!
He said no more, but simply reached out and gently patted the mechanical insect's metal head. "Hmm, you did a good job. Now continue monitoring here."
"Thank you for the exaggeration." The mechanical insect responded in a flat, electronic voice, becoming even more serious.
Seeing this, Bass slowly walked away from the side.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall subtly changed.
The nobles, who had been happily enjoying the banquet, suddenly became strange.
In particular, the insects from several noble families began to whisper among themselves frequently, and even showed signs of growing restlessness.
Because they discovered that the young male insects who had been invited to the family gathering were disappearing one by one!
