Chapter 117
Yan came back to his senses and picked up the document, but he was hesitating whether to ask about that matter.
He felt embarrassed to disturb the other person's work.
Compared to them, the 'Consul' has more things to do every day, and it's rare to see him idle... But it's okay for other things, but it's really hard to ask anyone else about this matter except himself.
Yan hesitated for a minute before deciding to ask.
"Actually, there is one more thing..." After starting, he became fluent in what he said afterwards.
Hearing this, Chu Xiu, who was busy, stopped and looked at Yan who was sitting opposite him.
"I told them before that they would be able to leave in half a month. Now the time is almost up. Should we let them leave?" Yan tried hard to look calm and composed so as not to show weakness in front of the 'Consul'.
Chu Xiu pondered for a while, he really couldn't give a definite answer to this question.
His Majesty had mentioned half a month, but he hadn't confirmed that they would be allowed to leave within half a month. Thinking of this, Chu Xiu said, "I understand. I'll deal with this matter as soon as possible and give you a reply in the next two days."
This question definitely wasn't Yan's own, but rather something the other bugs didn't dare ask. No wonder they'd been so absent-minded in recent days; it turned out they were concerned about when they'd leave.
...or too little training.
Chu Xiu mentally made a note of the students who were receiving his instruction. As long as all his energy was focused on training, he would have no time to think about other things.
"Thank you for your help." Yan felt relieved.
The 'Consul' said two days, and it would definitely not be one day more.
It's not that Yan understands the other party, but everyone has witnessed the "Consul's" decisive and efficient style of doing things during the period of working together.
As they were talking, a blue-tailed butterfly flew in from a small hole deliberately opened in the wall.
The blue-tailed butterfly flew into the room and flew straight towards Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu stretched out his hand, and the blue-tailed butterfly landed on his fingertips, gently fluttering its wings.
Yan and the others were not surprised by this scene.
They knew neither much nor much about the original Zerg, and were quite familiar with the blue-tailed butterflies they often saw, not to mention that this scene had happened several times before - this was the 'Archon' using his mental power to communicate with the blue-tailed butterflies.
The blue-tailed butterfly can transmit information, and who knows what new news this time... Before Yan's thoughts dissipated, he was startled by the "bang" sound made by the "Consul" sitting opposite him.
In just over ten seconds, the blue-tailed butterfly had delivered the message it wanted to convey, and Chu Xiu's expression changed almost visibly.
He stood up suddenly and said to Yan, "I have something to do and I have to leave for two hours. The next class will be a study session."
"Please take over for me. If there are any problems, I will deal with them when I come back." Chu Xiu finished speaking quickly. When he finished the last word, he had already left his seat and walked towards the door.
Behind him, light blue butterflies fluttered and followed him away.
Yan, who was sitting at the desk, hadn't come back to his senses when he heard this series of words. Then, before he could reply, he couldn't even see the back of the 'Consul'.
Yan couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"...Is there some emergency?"
Why didn't he attend classes? How serious could this matter be for the incredibly responsible 'Consul' to just throw a word and ignore everything? A sudden surge of worry welled up in Yan's heart.
"I don't know, but he looks really anxious." Mo Nan, who was sitting next to him, poked his head out.
"I hope it's not a bad thing." Lan, who was reading a book, frowned.
Yan listened to their words, sighed and said, "I'm more worried about the training class that will be coming soon."
"How about you guys see who's free later and go to class..." Before he finished speaking, Mo Nan retracted his head, and Lan Yi lowered his head, looking like he was concentrating on reading a book.
Not to mention the others, they looked up at the sky and down at the earth but not at him.
“…”
Okay, it seems I have to do it myself.
It wasn't that Yan felt incompetent, but a few female insects refused to obey anyone except the Archon. The normal teaching content was fine; every session was new knowledge, so there wasn't much to say.
Training classes are different. The "Consul" adheres to actual combat exercises to see whether one is learning hard or not. Therefore, in training classes, everyone looks at strength.
Although Yan's strength is good, he can't withstand the attacks of several gifted female insects who, after learning mental power and star power, can use them more skillfully than him.

Chu Xiu left the dungeon and hurried through the passage leading to the Dead Egg Pit.
At this time, he had already forgotten about what happened in the dungeon. To him, nothing was more important than the message brought by the blue-tailed butterfly - His Majesty had appeared.
When he thought of this, he wanted to rush to His Majesty's side immediately.
It has been a long time since we last met, and the only communication was through the blue-tailed butterfly... and we missed each other once. When I rushed back, His Majesty had already left.
Although he didn't show it on his face, he felt lost for a long time.
So after the last time, I told Chongzaizi that if His Majesty appeared again, he should notify me immediately. The only thing I didn't expect was that I would have to wait for half a month.
Chu Xiu, who had just woken up from a long hibernation, faced a world that was completely different from his memory. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel any hesitation in his heart.
Although he had long since judged that his side was at a disadvantage in the war, he had never expected that the Tianjia civilization would fall to a point that was almost the same as "civilization annihilation"... This made him begin to doubt whether his decision back then was right or wrong.
That year, His Majesty suddenly disappeared, and no matter how hard we searched, we could not find any clues. Finally, faced with internal and external troubles, he made a desperate move and chose to start an all-out war.
So is the decision right or wrong?
Chu Xiu was thinking, but his pace did not slow down for a moment.
——Whether it is right or wrong, it is already in the past.
All I can do now is to assist His Majesty in reviving civilization, awaken these Tianjia Zerg whose minds are imprisoned, and let them understand the past glory of the Tianjia clan... I also believe that as long as His Majesty is here, the revival and re-emergence of civilization is only a matter of time.
No, rather than saying that, if anyone can change this dire situation, then only Your Majesty can do it.
It sounded like Chu Xiu had blind trust in Qi Heng.
Under normal circumstances, facing the current Qi Heng, the most normal reaction should be to question his sudden disappearance that year and question his sudden appearance... But the respect, admiration, trust and loyalty of the Tianjia Zerg to the Overlord are engraved in their bones, so it is naturally not considered a "normal situation".
If Qi Heng, the ruler, is compared to a parent, then the Tianjia civilization is the child he brought up, and both the initial and later development of the civilization are closely related to Qi Heng and cannot be separated.
Therefore, looking at the many civilizations in the starry sky, no civilization has such centripetal force that can bring together all members of the civilization with just one person.
…
Dead egg pit.
Four underground floors.
Qi Heng waved his hand and put the last batch of ore into the folding space. The little bug lying on his shoulder put its chin on his shoulder and yawned softly with its mouth open.
The little bug tilted its head and looked towards the entrance of a passage.
Hmm, why hasn’t the female father come yet? If the male father doesn’t come soon, he will leave and we won’t see him again.
The little bug pouted, his face full of distress.
After collecting the ore, Qi Heng did not notice the behavior of the insect cub on his shoulder. He looked around and walked towards the platform.
At this time, 90% of the underground space that was originally piled with obsidian crystals was empty, and the only area with ore left was around the platform where Qi Lan was.
[…A total of 390 tons of obsidian ore were collected.] A0's voice echoed in my mind.
Qi Heng was not surprised at all, as the number reported by A0 was similar to the estimate.
...In the past half month, in order to produce more original Zergs, expand ore mining and build dungeons, he changed the distribution of obsidian crystals to two-thirds for Qi Lan and kept one-third for himself.
One third of the volume is 390 tons, which is not a small amount. Currently, there are only more than 7,500 mature mining worms.
If one hundred worms can produce about one ton of ore per day, 7,500 worms can produce 75 tons per day. In addition, the life cycle of the worms is one year... At least in the first year, there is no need to worry about the death of the worms and the reduction in production.
After continuously devouring ores to gain energy, Qi Lan continued to produce various types of primitive Zerg. Now the types of primitive Zerg have basically doubled compared to his last visit, with many new auxiliary insects added.
[Lord, the raw materials and energy points for manufacturing QW-1 are ready. Would you like to use [Item Manufacturing] to build the QW-1 module?]
Qi Heng didn't choose to start manufacturing immediately, but instead asked: "According to the planned QW-1, it will cover the entire No. 2 gathering area. If we want to include the mining area, the Dead Egg Pit, and other areas in the communication monitoring range, how many QW-1 modules will we need to manufacture?"
Currently, uninhabited resource areas and areas where mining is carried out by miners do not need to be radiated with QW-1, but the locations of dungeons and mining areas where unicorns exist must be included.
Although the Dead Egg Pit was able to communicate with Chu Xiu through the Blue Tailed Butterfly, there was no way to transmit data.
A holographic projection appeared in his field of vision.
This holographic projection is a "map" with black boundary lines dividing "Gathering Area No. 1", "Gathering Area No. 2", "Mining Area", etc. The area marked with "Gathering Area No. 2" on the originally pure transparent map was dyed with a large area of transparent blue, and the big black lettering "QW-1" was marked on it.
Small black dots began to emerge in the transparent blue area. These dots were connected to each other like a spider web, and there were exactly 49 of them.
With A0, these dots begin to spread outward from 49, and one is automatically added at every certain distance.
【According to calculations, 12 more are needed.】
【Total 61.】
[The metal mineral resources and energy points in the storage area can meet the manufacturing needs. Do you need to start manufacturing immediately?]
[Um. ]
[Energy was expended to refine the required metals. A total of 100 kilograms of various metals, including gold, silver, copper, and iron, were used... Deductions were made proportionally, for a total of 91.5 kilograms of metal and 9,150 energy points...]
In the folded space, metal cubes began to slowly emerge in the manufacturing area, and the words QW-1 were marked on the front of each cube.
[QW-1, 61 unit modules have all been manufactured.]
【System energy point balance: 5500 points.】
[Lord, would you like to convert the obsidian crystals stored in the folded space into energy points to upgrade the system?]
The level zero system can only store 50,000 energy points. If it exceeds this, it will be saturated and needs to be upgraded to unlock more energy reserve bars to store energy converted from the outside world.
If all 390 tons of obsidian crystals were converted into energy points, there would be around 200,000, which the current system couldn't accommodate. Therefore, they were initially collected into the folded space, and the energy points converted to create the QW-1 module weren't even a fraction of the 390 tons.
The system must be upgraded. Apart from anything else, the ability to unlock more features after the upgrade is very important. There's also the issue of energy points. Some system features require a large amount of energy points to use, and in the later stages, it can easily reach hundreds of millions.
Although it's not to that extent yet, the energy reserve of 5W is indeed slightly less.
[Upgrade.]
[Obsidian crystal conversion in progress... Consuming 50,000 energy points to upgrade the system... The remaining energy points will automatically be converted into system reserves.]
[Upgrade completed, system energy reserve limit increased from 5W to 50W.]
The system prompt sounded.
At the same time, the holographic projection screen began to continuously refresh the content of the system upgrade, and Qi Heng was a little surprised by the prompts one after another.
[When the system is upgraded for the first time, the binder will receive the following rewards. ]
[1: Randomly unlock 3 new subsystems: [Biological Gene Evolution Tree], [Achievement System], [Historical Projection]. ]
[2: Randomly repair 3 lost or incomplete technologies: [Gene Active Repair Fluid], [Force Field Protection], [Biosphere Reconstruction]. ]
[3: You can choose one talent to activate from the following racial talents: [Regeneration], [Reinforcement], [Psychic Perception], [Five Senses], [Speed], [Wisdom]... (Note: This option applies to all Tianjia Zerg and is effective only in the area controlled by the Lord of Tianjia Civilization.)]
[4: You can choose a Star Wars skill and a Spiritual Magic to perform a deduction and upgrade (this is free).]
After reading line by line, Qi Heng was so shocked by the huge surprise that he couldn't recover for a while.
This is a big surprise.
He knew that there would be rewards for system upgrades. After all, the game system had been upgraded six times before he crossed over... But he didn't expect that there would be rewards after the system was upgraded again after he crossed over.
Qi Heng thought it was normal that the rewards were different from before the time travel, after all, the situation he was facing now was different.
No matter whether the reward is useful or not, it’s fun to get it for free.
"Dragon father?"
A soft, confused voice calling from his ears brought him back to his senses. Qi Heng then realized that he had been standing on the steps for a while.
He tilted his head slightly, meeting the little bug cub's puzzled eyes. He explained as he walked up, "I was a little distracted just now, but I'll be there soon."
Not only the little bug, but Qi Lan on the high platform was also staring at him eagerly.
I was busy collecting ore just now and didn't have time to say hello to Qi Lan.
Well, as for where the little bug on his back came from, of course it was the little bug that took the initiative to move down from the high platform.
Then when the little bug cub wandered over to Qi Heng and asked for a hug, he compromised and allowed it to hang on his shoulder - if he held it, he would have no hands free to do other things.

The author has something to say: The temperature this winter is so weird. The temperature difference between the two days was six or seven degrees. I caught a cold without paying attention_(:з」∠)_
