Chapter 220
Even though Qi Heng was such a shameless person who always ignored other people's gazes, he still couldn't stand Chu Xiu's gaze of pure trust and admiration.
He coughed lightly, trying to change the subject.
Looking around, Qi Heng suddenly saw a car parked at the gate, the same one he had come in.
The car door opened and several female insects walked out from the upper door. Their figures seemed familiar.
"Did anyone say they wanted to come over today?" he asked.
Chu Xiu also took a look and said, "It should be Luo Shen and the others. They said they would come over today."
"And Yan Ning also said she would bring Lele over."
At this point, Chu Xiu frowned, "Oh no! I forgot to tell him you'd be coming."
Qi Heng doesn't come every day, and there's no exact time for when he'll come or when he won't. He also doesn't always say hello on the computer before coming.
As the first female insect he met when he came to Tianyun Star, he lived in her home for a long time and could even be said to have personally "delivered" her baby insects.
To Qi Heng, Yan Ning is almost like half a relative to him.
Not only did he think so, but other female insects also thought so, because his attitude towards Yan Ning was almost the same as towards his own brother, and Yan Ning's insect cub Lele was also the insect cub closest to him besides Qi Xi and Qi Lan.
Although Qi Heng is not a cold-hearted person, he cannot be said to be rich in emotions, and there are very few people he can put into his heart.
Before crossing over, he was basically alone. After crossing over, he first met Yan Ning, who helped him a lot in facing this strange world, and later met Qi Lan, who became extremely close to him.
Finally, a biological insect cub appeared, allowing Qi Xi to become a father painlessly.
And... I can't think about it too much, because if I think about it too much, I will feel that Chu Xiu is in a tangled mess.
Inexplicably, this network grew larger and larger over time, with the addition of friends and subordinates... He was forced to turn a lonely man into someone with a wide social circle.
Because Qi Heng, Yan Ning and Chu Xiu and his son are very familiar with each other and often come into contact with each other.
Lele took longer to break out of the shell than Qixi, but was much slower in growth, making it look like Qixi was older than Yanle at first glance.
When the two insect cubs play together, Qi Xi is the one who plays the role of the older brother most of the time.
Thinking that Qi Xi was the only one in Chu Xiu's office, he said, "Let's go downstairs."
"yes."
Second floor.
Chu Xiu's office.
"Xizi? Why are you alone here? Where is your father?"
Yan Ning was carrying a wicker basket, and the young female insect cub was held by Luo Shen behind her.
"The father-in-law is out."
Qi Xi said, and almost called out the wrong name, "Well, I went with Uncle Qi."
They had three rules in private, and they must not reveal Qi Heng's identity in front of other Zergs.
You should know that Qi Heng’s external identity has always been a female insect.
The relationship between Qi Xi and Qi Heng is also kept secret... It has to be kept secret. If he is Qi Xi's male father, then he can't wear the female insect vest.
Also, if he is Qi Xi's male father, then what is his relationship with Qi Xi's female father Chu Xiu?
——Anyone who is not stupid can guess it.
Now let him hold up this shaky vest for a while longer.
As for why his external identity is a female insect, and why Lan Yi and others still speculate that he has a romantic relationship with Chu Xiu... It's normal, very normal. It is very common for female insects to pair up on Tianyun Star.
In this situation where the ratio of male to female insects is as high as 1:300, and the male insects only care about sleeping and not raising the young, it is not surprising that female insects with blood relatives or good relationships will help each other and raise the young together.
Because the insect population census has not yet been conducted, this is just a rough estimate of the ratio - the male insects have their information registered electronically, but the female insects are not cared about at all.
Yan Ning was surprised.
He put the basket down and asked, "Is Brother Qi here today? Does that mean I didn't bring enough?"
"Come, you two play." Luo Shen put Lele next to Qi Xi.
The basket contained roasted blue cassava, each as big as a fist and still steaming.
Yan Ning broke one open and gave half to Qi Xi and Yan Leyi.
Qi Xi put down the paintbrush and took it obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Yan."
"I only saw your Uncle Yan and not your Uncle Luo. Then I would be sad." Luo Shen joked.
"In that case, I won't give you this candy."
As Qi Xi often stays in the office building, he is very familiar with the process of being fed. Usually, Lan Yi and others will bring some food when they come to work.
Who doesn’t like cute little bugs, especially this precious and rare male bug.
In the gathering places on Tianyun Star, male insect cubs can only be seen occasionally in Area 1 of each gathering place, and they cannot be seen at most other times and places.
"No." Qi Xi pouted, then smiled broadly: "Hello, Uncle Luo. I like Uncle Luo the most."
Luo Shen laughed out loud and didn't continue teasing.
"Your Uncle Qi is the only one not here, otherwise you would not say that." Luo Shen took out the plastic-wrapped candies. The amber-colored candies were pressed into flat circles, each about the size of a fingernail.
"Don't let your father know. He said you can't eat too much."
Qi Xi blinked and raised his hand to his mouth, "I won't tell you."
Tianyun Star’s material reserves include sugar, and the quantity is not small. In the past, it was a material that was difficult to exchange.
But now, after Qi Heng planted the exchanged sugar-producing crop seeds and produced nutrient solution that can shorten the growth period, there is no shortage of sugar for industrial use.
However, in terms of food, sugar is still in short supply and it is unlikely to be in sufficient supply for some time to come.
In order to be able to implement a relatively fair rationing system after integrating all supplies and take care of all Zerg.
Qi Heng adopted two systems, contribution points and credit points, for material exchange. That is to say, some materials can be exchanged directly with credit points, while others require a certain contribution point before they can be exchanged with credit points.
They were taken from the military merit system and currency system of the past Tianjia civilization, but some of the inappropriate aspects were modified for better use in the present.
For example, contribution points can currently only be obtained from some technical, civilian, and field-related tasks related to rebuilding the Tianjia civilization. Later, when military training is carried out and a complete military system begins to be built, this exchange system will be converted to a military-only system.
Credit points are more universal.
It is equivalent to another form of currency. As long as you work for him, he will pay you according to credit points.
This system is mainly aimed at the majority of ordinary female insects. Once it is promoted in the future, the current barter exchange method in various districts will be abolished.
Qi Heng didn't think of solving the problem once and for all. He knew that once it was actually implemented, he would probably encounter many problems.
Qi Xi looked at the candy in his palm, thinking that there were two, so he would give one to his brother, and then he quietly put the candy into Lele's pocket.
With the work intensity of Chu Xiu and Qi Heng, they have no shortage of contribution points or credit points.
It’s just that although the two parents dote on their children, they always know how to control the degree and won’t spoil them endlessly.
Qi Xi had just put the candy away when he heard Xiong's father's voice.
"Did I disturb you?"
Qi Heng stood outside the door with Chu Xiu standing beside him.
"Father." Qi Xi climbed down from the sofa and ran to him, holding up the blue cassava. "Uncle Yan gave it to me."
"Have you said thank you?" Chu Xiu touched his head.
Qi Xi: "Yeah."
Over there, Yan Ning greeted him with a smile, "Brother Qi, have you eaten?"
"I have some here, do you want some?"
"And Brother Chu too."
Judging from appearance, Yan Ning and Chu Xiu are about the same age, but Chu Xiu has a more stable temperament.
When he called her that for the first time, Chu Xiu didn't object, so Yan Ning kept calling her that.
"Thanks."
Chu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I'll do some more."
Yan Ning and the others arrived just a little earlier than his regular cooking time. He knew that they came at this time on purpose to bring some food for him and Qi Xi.
Qi Heng waved his hand, knowing that Chu Xiu was considering him as an extra person.
"No, I'm not very hungry. Just a little bit will be enough."
"Aren't there more?"
Yan Ning always brings more food, so it’s no problem for him to eat half full.
There was a large table in the office area outside, and a group of several bugs moved outside.
While Chu Xiu and Yan Ning were getting some water, Qi Heng looked at Luo Shen and asked, "Are you the only one here? Aren't they coming together?"
"They'll be later." When facing him, Luo Shen's attitude was obviously more relaxed than when Chu Xiu was also present.
Luo Shen said teasingly, "How come you have time to come here today? And you went out alone with Chu Xiu. Is there anything you can't talk about in the office?"
Although he is also a superior, he is not as oppressive as when facing the "doctor". Also, he seems more easy-going than Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu had a cold personality and treated most of them in a businesslike manner, and was also very cold when not talking about business.
Lan Yi, Luo Shen and the others were mainly in charge of the coordination with Chu Xiu. When they knew nothing at the beginning, all the things they submitted were sent back for redoing. The psychological trauma left behind is still a little frightening when they think about it now.
"Curious?"
This was not the first time Qi Heng had heard such teasing, and he didn't even blink.
"I thought you were more curious about Ji Lin."
He had just asked Chu Xiu and knew that they had come here today by appointment.
The purpose is to meet Ji Lin.
Qi Heng slowly peeled the skin of the roasted blue cassava. The pot next to him was filled with meat sauce with salt.
Even after being in this world for so long, he still couldn't get used to the poor food here.
But under such conditions, it is good enough to be able to have enough food and clothing, and you really can't be too picky about the taste of food.
Not being picky does not mean not missing.
He really missed the food from his previous life and didn't know when he would be able to eat it again in this life.
What’s even more tragic is that nowadays this kind of food is becoming less and less available.
Once Lan Yi has finished counting the supplies and the nutrient supplement production line is fully assembled and running at full capacity...soon everyone's daily food will be replaced with nutrient supplements.
It is inexpensive and one nutritional supplement can give you enough satiety and supplement the various nutrients needed by the body.
He was not exaggerating, but based on his understanding of the Zerg, he knew that when the Zerg were short of money, natural food would soon be abandoned by the female Zerg who were pursuing cost-effectiveness.
——When playing the game, the main food of the Zerg in the game is various canned foods and nutritional supplements.
What natural food? Eating it every day? That doesn't exist.
Nutritional supplements are healthy and nutritious, and there are various flavors to choose from. The cost of one meal of natural food can last for three days. Anyone with a common sense will know how to choose.
For the Zerg on Tianyun Star, nutritional supplements might even taste better than eating cassava every day.
So in the end, the only person Qi Heng could sympathize with was himself.
Luo Shen didn't know what Qi Heng was thinking. He just thought he was trying to change the subject. He never imagined that he was sympathizing with his future self.
"I'm really curious. After all, it's the only male insect." Luo Shen said honestly.
After joining Grey Mist, I worked with many Zerg, but almost all of them were female.
Suddenly hearing that there were male insects involved, and they were their colleagues, really broke their inherent impression of male insects.
Because of the restrictions on information transmission, A0 was used as the intermediary in the previous work coordination between Ji Lin and Tianyunxing.
Ji Lin and Lan Yi did not have direct contact.
This made them even more curious.
Hearing is believing. After knowing that Ji Lin was the bug in charge of transporting supplies and would come to the office building after work, they decided to come and see it together.
