Chapter 244
Gathering Place No. 2, in Area 1.
In the simple medical examination center, male insects are queuing up in an orderly manner.
Jiwei is also among them.
There are five blood-drawing points, and three of them are allocated. The drawn blood is placed in an insulated box for storage, and it will soon fill up an entire box.
The other male insects who came to enter their identity information were all a little surprised when they saw how much blood was drawn.
This blood donation has nothing to do with the male insects whose identity information has not yet been entered. After all, they are not on the list sent by the doctor.
However, that may not be the case next time.
Ji Wei arrived a little late and was at the back of the queue.
When he finished drawing blood and walked to the side to press to stop the bleeding, a male insect greeted him.
Although Area 1 is not that big, not all male insects can get to know each other. After all, there are tens of thousands of male insects, and everyone has his own circle.
If they didn't have to re-enter their identity information this time, they would not have left their own little piece of land.
In the past Tianjia civilization, unlike female insects, the strength of male insects was strangely linked to their appearance.
Just like in nature, most insects and birds with bright colors are males, they rely on their beautiful appearance to attract the attention of females.
The high male-to-female ratio of the Tianjia Zerg even in its heyday, as well as the significant importance of males to females, made them the more important and dominant party in the relationship between the two.
With his handsome, delicate and beautiful facial features, you can tell at a glance whether the genetic level of this male insect is high or not.
Of course, conversely, the same is true for female insects in this regard.
However, because the base number of female insects is large, few insects will care about this aspect.
After all, for female insects, having too many beautiful fellows is also a trouble - everyone is a competitor, and if they are outstanding in appearance, wouldn't it be even more difficult to compete with each other and win the heart of a male insect?
Ji Wei is not older than the younger male insects, but he has a temperament accumulated over the years, and his appearance can be called outstanding. It can be seen at a glance that he is not an ordinary male insect.
A male insect like this will definitely know what happened.
Ask him, it is absolutely right.
The male insect who came to inquire first greeted him politely, then asked him with some confusion: "Why are you drawing so much blood? Is there a problem?"
There is competition between females and between males, but it is not about competing for the favor of females.
When male insects meet, their first thought is to see if there is any gap between them and the other party, and whether they can defeat the other party.
They almost instinctively have the ability to distinguish between the other male insects' mental power level and strength... Now, it is a way to distinguish whether there is a gap between the other party and themselves.
Even if the mental power is blocked, the instinct to distinguish the other party's genetic level has not disappeared.
Although Ji Wei was a little cold towards the stranger, that was during unnecessary interactions, and it doesn't count now.
If you want to participate in the Male Insect Association proposed by the Doctor, you can't be too unsociable.
Ji Wei gave a polite smile, "No, it's no problem, we just received a mission."
"I haven't seen you before. You don't live nearby, do you?"
According to the doctor's list, the male insect in front of him was classified as an A-level male insect. Ji Wei estimated that the other party should also be an A-level male insect. He had a vague sense of this level, but it was probably lower, not higher.
The male insect smiled sheepishly and said, "I live a little far away, and I thought I'd be fine staying at home anyway, so I came here by myself."
Ji Wei nodded slightly to indicate that he was listening.
A male insect that came alone? Nothing to do at home? Judging from his age, he was only slightly older than his own male cub. It was probably that he had just reached adulthood and didn't have any male cubs of his own, so he was a single male insect that lived alone.
He looked at the needle hole and the bleeding had stopped.
He threw the pressed cotton ball into the recycling bin nearby and extended his hand to the male insect in front of him. "My name is Ji Wei. What's your name?"
"Bai, Ran Bai."
The black-haired, green-eyed male insect shook his hand back somewhat awkwardly, looking a little embarrassed.
Ji Wei slowed down his voice, sounding more approachable. "Excuse me, you don't look much older than my little bug. Are you a recent adult?"
"No, I've been an adult for a long time." Ran Bai blinked and said, "I remember that after I became an adult, I spent many cold winters alone."
Spending the harsh winter alone, he is not just a single solitary male insect... he may also be an orphan insect without a male father to take care of him.
Not all male insects are lucky enough to grow up under the care of a male father. Adult male insects may die early due to some accidents, leaving the young insects without any insects to take care of them.
At this time, their male insects will be gathered together and some free male insects will be arranged to take turns to take care of them.
When these male insects without a male father grow up, they usually leave the "home" where they lived as minors and start living on their own.
The value of male insects is enough to make the unicorns pay some attention to them and take special care of them. Therefore, even if a male insect has to live on its own as soon as it reaches adulthood, it can still survive well.
Ji Wei thought of this, smiled and skipped the topic, pointing to the line of male insects still queuing up to donate blood.
"You're curious about this? We can talk about it aside."
"Okay." Ran Bai followed him to the side, "Thank you so much for telling me. At first I was worried that it was too weird to come over and ask."
"If you had entered the information earlier, maybe I wouldn't have to tell you."
The medical examination center covers an area of approximately 700 square meters. At this time, the only area that was still somewhat empty was the area near the main entrance. Fortunately, there were thick curtains blocking the view and the heater was circulating, so even standing at the entrance, it didn't feel cold.
The doctor did not say that blood donation needs to be kept confidential. In fact, there is no need to keep it confidential, whether for male or female insects.
Blood pharmaceuticals are all good things.
The male insects gained fame and the female insects received substantial help.
Ji Wei told Ran Bai the whole story in a few words. Seeing the surprise on his face turn into thought, he probably guessed what he was thinking.
"From what the doctor said, currently only the male insects on the list are required to donate blood, but it may be opened to all male insects later."
Voluntary blood donation may sound like it has no benefits other than good reputation, but the contribution points and some preferential treatments for blood donation subsidies are real.
More importantly, it can also help the male insects increase their presence in front of the doctor. It is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, and the male insects are well aware of it.
Otherwise I wouldn't be so proactive.
"dimension."
This voice is Feng.
Ji Wei looked up and saw him holding his arm. "Are you okay too?"
"Okay, who is this?"
"They are new kids I've met." Ji Wei stood in the middle and introduced them to each other: "This is Feng, a good friend I've known for a long time."
"This is Ran Bai, I just met him."
Feng was surprised. Even though he knew that Wei was always quick to act, and he had just mentioned that he wanted to change, he didn't expect it to be implemented so quickly.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Feng said with a smile.
"My home is nearby. If you don't mind, why don't you come over to my house for a drink and a chat?"
Ran Bai was stunned. He didn't expect him to make such a direct invitation. "Is this okay? Will it disturb you?"
"I won't disturb you." Feng chuckled and said jokingly, "Wei is now an empty nest old insect. The insect cubs run outside and don't come home. It's empty all day long."
"As for me, Bug Boy is probably still playing at his friend's house right now, so he has nothing to do."
"Meeting is fate, as long as you don't mind."
Ran Bai was moved. He usually stayed away from the life circle of male insects, not because he was a loner, but because he didn't want to waste time on meaningless socializing.
But it’s different now. He can’t just care about himself like before. Besides, he is really interested in the changes in the gathering place.
If you want to find some insects to learn more details, these two male insects in front of you who seem to know the inside story are a good choice for you.
It looks very friendly and easy to get along with, so there is no need to bother looking for other male insects.
After quickly figuring this out in his mind, Ran Bai said briskly, "That's troublesome."
A group of three male insects first went to the place where coats were hung to retrieve their thick coats. They were fluffy and thickened inside and out. Once they wrapped themselves up, no matter how good their figures were, they would look like bears.
"Remember to put on your coats, it's very windy outside."
Feng was used to giving instructions to Chongzai, and the words came out naturally while he was putting on his clothes.
The physical condition of male insects is their weakness, and it is estimated that there is no way to improve it for a long time. It is better not to get sick.
After leaving the door of the physical examination center, cold wind rushed in through the gaps in their scarves, and the temperature difference between inside and outside made them shiver subconsciously.
According to the radio, this year's harsh winter will not end for another twenty days. Although the temperature has warmed up, it is still hovering below zero.
…
A whole day passed.
After the system upgrade is completed and the self-test is completed, A0 is reactivated.
[My Lord, it's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much.]
Qi Heng is eating.
He swallowed the nutrient solution in his mouth and replied, "It's only been a day since we last met. For you, shutting down and restarting is just a second's separation."
【Okay, you're right.】
【But doesn’t this make me more human?】
A0's emotional module is indeed very complete, and after another upgrade, talking to A0 has become more natural. Without knowing it beforehand, it's really hard to tell that it's just a bunch of code.
[And don't you think you're being too much? Just because you disagree with someone, you order a system to upgrade again. The time it takes to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 is much longer than the time it takes to upgrade from level 1 to level 2.]
Yesterday, after careful consideration, Qi Heng decided to upgrade the system to another level.
The system's built-in folding space stores energy minerals of various levels, so it is not difficult to extract one million energies to upgrade the system again.
Since there is no need to worry about energy, I might as well take advantage of the time now to upgrade to the next level - every upgrade requires shutting down the system and making it unusable, which is really inconvenient.
After making the decision, as soon as A0 turned on the computer and reported that the system upgrade was complete, he directly said "Continue" to put the system into the upgrade process again.
Naturally, A0 was forced to sleep.
It wasn't until today when the upgrade was completed that A0 'saw the light of day' again.
"Long time? I don't think so."
Qi Heng had no choice but to interrupt, otherwise A0 didn't know when he would get to the point.
"Don't waste time, let's first talk about the changes in the system after the upgrade."
