Chapter 22
"It's a very good name." The Lord said in a deep voice.
If it were another situation, Qi Heng would probably say the same thing as what the Lord said, but at this moment he was so embarrassed that he just wanted to turn around and run away.
#What's it like to meet a younger one-night stand partner?
Thank you for the invitation. It would be great if I could fly to the end of the universe on a spaceship right away so that I never have to face this speechless scene again.
However, most things in this world are difficult to achieve as one wishes. Not only can he not leave, but he also has to experience the entire oath-taking ceremony from a first-person perspective.
As the Lord finished speaking, the black-haired male insect beside him handed the flower that the Lord had picked earlier to the Lord.
Qi Heng, who had gone through a similar process in the game and knew the general process, now understood the purpose of this flower. The symbolic meaning of this flower was far greater than its practical meaning.
"I hereby bestow it upon you, Grand Archon of the Empire, my personal guard."
The ruler in a pure white robe raised his hand to take the flower. His wide sleeves fell straight down with the movement. The hand holding the flower looked even whiter and longer against the dark green stalk, and light blue veins were faintly visible on the back of his hand.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at Chu Xiu, with a faint smile on his lips.
Qi Heng stared at the scene in front of him, turning his face away with an expressionless face, and his intention to escape was very obvious.
Ah, I am really old-school.
——This is all due to the strong sense of immersion in the game, otherwise I wouldn’t have said such shameful words for no reason.
The golden-edged snow orchid is a symbol of dominance, and only the dominant can use the double-petaled snow orchid as an accessory.
However, there are exceptions to everything. The Grand Archon and the Grand Marshal granted by the Overmind serve as the Overmind's right-hand men and women, ruling the empire and managing the entire civilization. They are the only two Zerg who have received this honor.
The snow-white double-petaled flower was placed in front of Chu Xiu through his hands. The female insect took it and placed it on her chest with great care.
Those cobalt blue eyes that shone with dazzling light stared at him intently, filled with undisguised strong emotions.
Although he was clearly in a dream, Qi Heng felt for a moment as if he was burned by an overly hot flame and wanted to avoid it.
"I will be the sword in your hand, always guarding you and forever loyal to you."
The beautiful and delicate female insect swore an oath to him, and the passion contained in every word was an emotion Qi Heng had never experienced before.
The phoenix eyes, which should have looked fierce, turned red at the corners due to excitement. The female insect restrained all her aggression just to show her most docile side in front of him.
Chu Xiu's attitude towards the Overlord was not excessive. Compared to Qi Heng, who was sworn in for the first time in a dream, the other Zerg present did not show any surprise or surprise.
After all, the entire Zerg race are fans of the Overmind. They are not only extreme but also toxic. They live, die and bang their heads against the wall for the Overmind. Any Zerg can do such things.
——The Overlord is truly a pest.
He couldn't help but comment in his mind.
Qi Heng's complaints did not affect the progress of the ceremony. He heard a voice almost identical to his own echoing in the empty temple.
"I accept your oath. The oath is established."
After the master finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently brushed Chu Xiu's forehead with his index and middle fingers. In the blink of an eye, a silver-white mark was imprinted on his brow.
This is the mark of the oath, representing the formal establishment of the relationship between them.
After the master completed this step, he let Chu Xiu stand up.
Chu Xiu, the chief consul of the empire, did not return to the Zerg below, but stood on his left, just like a guard guarding him as in their previous conversation.
This is Chu Xiu's power as the Chief Chancellor of the Empire and the privilege brought by his status - he can stay by the side of His Excellency the Lord.
The combat effectiveness of the original Zerg is amazing, and the Tianjia Zerg is not weak either. They are both led by the Military Marshal and the Chief Consul respectively. Therefore, it can be said that they are under the true dominance but above the individual Zerg in the entire civilization.
The oath-taking ceremony has just begun, so of course it won’t end so soon.
However, the following ceremony was not as solemn as the one with Chu Xiushi. Not only was Qi Heng distracted, he could also feel that the Lord was also distracted.
To a certain extent, he was able to feel the Lord's mood and thoughts in the dream... Just like when Chu Xiu's face appeared in front of Qi Heng just now, he clearly felt that the Lord was distracted for a moment and even looked at him twice.
It's so funny. If it weren't for this, how could the Lord, with his personality, ask Chu Xiu's name?
Qi Heng could find the similarities between himself and the master from the subtle details, and that he had similarities with his own game character. It was as absurd as time travel, but... not necessarily impossible.
Seven more Zergs came out from the stage, both male and female, and knelt down together to swear an oath to the Overlord.
The master on the stage seemed to be paying attention to this solemn ceremony, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the face of the female insect beside him. The lethality of this face to those who are obsessed with looks is like a nuclear explosion.
Qi Heng was a little distracted, no, it should be said that both he and the Lord were a little absent-minded at the moment.
He had seen quite a few female insects in his dreams, but none of them could compare to Chu Xiu in front of him.
Shouldn't we say that she is worthy of being a female insect rated as 99 in beauty by the system? This appearance is unprecedented, if not unparalleled.
...But then again, if it weren't for this ridiculously high number, I wouldn't have made such a mistake that I would have regretted for the rest of my life.
Is it really a date to have a one-night stand with your game character?! Besides, he did it with the idea that, since he wasn't playing games anymore, he might as well try out all the in-game controls.
But how can things in the game be the same as in reality? No, it should be said that they cannot be mixed at all.
He thought to himself that if he really wanted to talk about it, he was already much more morally upright than the average player. Believe it or not, some players who were even more unrestrained in their diets would even create a harem for the pixel-style figurines.
It's different for one's own 'master'. He works diligently to conquer civilization and explore the starry sky as his lifelong goal, and is completely devoted to his work.
Well, after all, I am a straight man. If the painting style is really realistic, then I would definitely not do something as outrageous as asking a man to have sex with me.
As for why I have been paying attention to Chu Xiu?
What's wrong with paying attention to Chu Xiu? Who doesn't like a beautiful and pleasing beauty? Gender alone cannot be a reason to stop him from appreciating beauty.
Qi Heng's gaze swept across the various Zergs below. Only at this time would he feel satisfied with the direction of Zerg appearance evolution that he had chosen.
His original intention was to create a civilization where everyone was handsome and beautiful. Although there were some problems, but... it can be considered an achievement.
The female insects are beautiful and the male insects are extraordinarily handsome. For those who care about appearance, the insect race is probably a paradise.
Only the Tianjia civilization, which has developed genetic technology to a great extent, can do this, optimizing the appearance of the entire race and achieving a benign "evolution" that will not cause genetic collapse.
As long as they don't over-indulge themselves, the Zerg's appearance will always be above average thanks to their innate good foundation.
Qi Heng, sitting on the stage, was a little bored. After nothing interesting happened, his thoughts wandered further and further. When he came to his senses, the ceremony had already reached the final step.
Compared to bestowing oath seals one by one, bestowing seven at once fully illustrates the difference between the former and the latter - it is definitely not that I am hypocritical, it is just too troublesome to swear one by one, so this is more convenient.
They are different to begin with, so there is nothing wrong with simplifying the ceremony.
At this moment, some fog suddenly began to appear around. After gathering, the fog slowly surged. Qi Heng knew that this was a sign of the end of the dream.
He closed his eyes in his dream,
…
Good morning, Your Excellency.
[It's 6:05 AM now, the daytime temperature is 25°C, and the weather is sunny turning cloudy...]
Ever since the analysis program started running, A0 has been talking more and more nonsense.
Your plan was completed smoothly and achieved the expected results of the system perfectly.
Qi Heng ignored A0's previous nonsense and directly captured the information he wanted to hear.
When he heard the good news from A0 with a slight upward tone, the anxiety in his heart disappeared.
Because Yan Ning was still in the room, Qi Heng praised her in his heart: [Not bad.]
A0 is pretty reliable and doesn't fail at critical moments.
Qi Heng took a look at the system interface and saw that the integration degree of the first stage had indeed reached 50%.
He sensed the changes within himself and discovered that the speed of his mental and star powers had increased. The benefits of this were obvious; future cultivation would only yield twice the result with half the effort.
"This is all your instruction. I'm just completing your plan." A0 remained calm upon hearing the compliment.
Qi Heng raised his eyebrows, feeling something was wrong.
Why didn’t A0 cause trouble today?
After all, I have been with A0 for a while, and I know that the more normal A0 appears, the more abnormal his irrational personality becomes.
Did A0 do something without telling him? But the only thing he asked A0 to do recently was what he told it to do last night... awakening, oath mark... Qi Heng quickly connected the cause and effect of the whole thing, and his face turned ashen.
[Is it for me to see or for you to tell me.]
As he asked this, he opened the system's work log, where everything A0 had done was clearly visible.
If I hadn't known what A0 had done before, then after last night's dream, I was now 70% sure what I had been hiding from A0 and acting on my own initiative.
[Why is the 'Oath' awakening procedure being executed, and the highest level 'Silver Edict'?]
A0 was frightened to death when he heard the words of the Overlord. Fortunately, it was just a program and did not have a fragile heart.
[A0, don’t you have anything to explain to me?]
"Your Excellency, I can explain." A0 said dryly.
Even if it meant saving two days of solitary confinement, A0 had to finish what he had prepared.
Qi Heng sneered. He wanted to see how A0 would argue.
[Go ahead, I'm listening.]
