Chapter 278
The four male insects have different appearances and temperaments, but they are all very outstanding.
Besides that, another similarity is that they are all very young.
The average age is 23, which means they have just reached adulthood.
In the past, male insects of this age would have just completed their rite of passage and would have had little experience.
But on the current Tianyun Star, they have all been adults for several years, and combined with the experience gained from their past lives and current changes, their life experiences can be said to be quite rich.
However, one thing has not changed.
That is, male insects often have a natural dislike for each other, especially when they perceive possible competition between them.
——This is also a common problem of the Tianjia Zerg.
Whether female or male, the competition between them never stops.
The four male insects each occupied a corner and stood in diagonal positions.
Ye Xiao, who spoke first, looked at the other three silent compatriots, and looked thoughtfully at the one closest to him.
She wore a beige turtleneck sweater with black trousers, a warm woolen coat and a scarf on the outside. Her long light gray hair was tied into a low ponytail, falling on her left shoulder and hanging down to her heart.
From the attitude of the one-horned man in replying to him just now, he could infer that the character of this male insect should be better than the other two.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiao walked towards the other party.
His actions alarmed the other party.
The next moment, a pair of emerald green eyes looked over, with obvious confusion on their faces.
"My name is Ye Xiao."
Ye Xiao stretched out his hand as he spoke, not caring about the looks from the other two male insects beside him.
"As a fellow traveler who will be walking with you for a while, I just want to make friends with you. I have no ill intentions."
The males in zone 1 have their own circle and are inherently more exclusive than the females in other zones.
Making friends is a rare thing for adult male insects.
But that was in the past. Ever since the Gray Mist organization emerged, many of their long-held habits had been changed, both overtly and covertly.
The gray-haired male insect hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook his. "Jiang Chen."
Their conversation was a good start.
Ye Xiao smiled, looked at the other two standing beside him and smiled without saying anything, indicating that it was their turn next.
"You two, would you mind coming closer to talk?"
The two male insects looked at each other. Although they didn't know each other, they understood each other's thoughts tacitly at this moment.
They walked towards Ye Xiao and Jiang Chen and stopped not far from them.
The male insect with warm brown eyes is not as easy to talk to as his appearance.
Facing Ye Xiao, he did not extend his hand, but just coldly uttered a name.
"Qin Yao."
The short-haired male insect standing next to Qin Yao pointed at himself and said, "Qiao Ming."
The self-introduction session ends here. After everyone knows each other's names, according to the male insects' social concept, everyone knows each other.
Among the four male insects, Ye Xiao obviously has the best personality and is most suitable to be a glue.
So it was not surprising that he was the one to start the conversation when the other three remained silent.
"We are here because we have passed the assessment. You have also received the notice from the doctor." This is something that everyone knows. Speaking it out can bring people closer together without involving privacy.
"That's right."
It was Jiang Chen who spoke, while Qin Yao and Qiao Ming agreed.
"Since we can finish the course and pass the assessment in about the same time, then I'll make a bold guess." Ye Xiao glanced at them with a smile and said, "Our mental strength ratings should be similar."
"S-level." Qin Yao said.
This is not a secret, at least to them, everyone knows it.
Gray Mist had been open about the level assessment of male insect mental power from the very beginning.
Not only do the male insects know this, but even the female insects who understand this aspect will know it clearly.
Seeing that they did not refute, Ye Xiao knew that they agreed with Qin Yao's words.
"If it's S-level, wouldn't a psychotherapist be a better choice?" Ye Xiao touched his chin and said with a smile, "No matter the future development or treatment, it's the best."
Gray Mist recently announced that female insects could develop symptoms such as rigidity due to mental violence, and that only male insects could alleviate and treat these symptoms.
At the same time, course information related to mental therapy was also opened up, which clearly pointed out that mental therapists must be male insects, and the higher the mental power rating of the male insect, the more suitable it is for development in this area.
There are no fools among the Tianjia Zerg. The reason they were restricted and manipulated by the Unicorns in the past was entirely because of the unequal access to information.
After Gray Mist opened up access to information to them and generously disclosed all kinds of information to all Zerg, the smart ones had already guessed from this information why Gray Mist did so, as well as its undisguised attitude towards female and male Zerg.
Especially after Gray Mist completely revealed his emphasis on the future development of male and female insects, everyone could more or less see Gray Mist's arrangements.
"Then why are you here?" Qin Yao asked him back.
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that it would be Qin Yao who would pick up the conversation, and speak so directly.
"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"
"I took the test because I didn't want to be a psychotherapist."
"Being a doctor is not suitable for me." Ye Xiao smiled, "Not to mention the long service period."
"You should have your own plans."
Qin Yao said succinctly: "I've had enough of being arranged around. I'm not interested in being manipulated anymore."
Qiao Ming crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "I'm somewhat interested in plant cultivation. Star planting sounds very interesting."
Ye Xiao nodded and looked at Jiang Chen who had been silent.
"And you."
"Me." Jiang Chen curled the corners of his lips, "I'm just a little impatient."
Ye Xiao and the other three didn't react for a moment.
"What's the rush?"
"Area 1 has changed a lot, hasn't it?" Jiang Chen pointed to where they were standing and said casually, "This change is not limited to Area 1, or even to Gathering Place No. 2, but to the entire Tianyun Star."
"Rather than waiting any longer, I want to lift these pesky restrictions sooner and be part of the change."
Jiang Chen tapped his brow, his tone gentle, but disgust was obvious on his face.
"The closed brain area limits our development. Unless we focus on logistics, this will be the first problem we face."
Male insects are not as physically fit as female insects, and they are known for their mental strength.
Without their mental strength, and relying solely on their physical fitness, which was not much different from that of ordinary people, Gray Mist's development plan had no place for them except in the logistics department.
Currently, all the Zergs in Gathering Place No. 2 have completed basic education. The female Zergs have their own arrangements, and most of the male Zergs can only do nothing.
Therefore, in the entire No. 2 gathering area, basic education is being implemented the fastest in Area 1.
no way.
The male insects in Area 1 are not like the female insects who have to take care of their families and cubs while going to school. Most of them are bachelors. At most, they have a male father, and only a very small number of them have a male cub.
In this case, there is plenty of time to complete basic education.
The newly formed Male Insect Association was responsible for coordinating and managing the male insects in Area 1. They worked hand in hand with the One-Horned People to strictly enforce education. Before the education center was built, the older members would mentor the newer members. Once it was completed, all new members would be sent in sequentially.
“…What you said makes a lot of sense.”
Ye Xiao let out a breath, agreeing with this point very much.
I didn’t think so before, but after knowing the difference in the natural physical fitness between male and female insects, the male insects all felt like vomiting blood.
It doesn’t matter if they can’t compare in physical fitness. After all, according to historical records, it’s not the first time that male insects have been inferior to female insects.
And not all of them are like female insects, right?
At least they crush the female insects in terms of mental strength, and the female insects' rigidity also depends on the male insects, which makes many male insects feel relieved.
No one wants to be a waste, even the male insects who have been treated as waste and raised only for breeding - after realizing what kind of life they had lived before, the male insects accumulated a lot of anger in their hearts.
In other words, there are more important things to do now. Even if the male insect cannot see the situation clearly, he knows that this is not the time to express dissatisfaction.
What's more... if they were not still useful, the Tianjia Zerg would have found it difficult to survive.
Thinking of this, the male insect felt uncomfortable, but he didn't do anything to make the situation more chaotic.
Male insects cannot use mental power because they were restricted in their childhood and the area of their brain where mental power exists was closed.
This prevents their mental power from developing and it can only remain at a very low value. Even if their mental power potential is very high, it cannot be brought into play.
Ye Xiao and the others were also very concerned about the brain blockage problem that Jiang Chen mentioned.
"I don't know if it can really solve the problem of blocked brain areas." Qiao Ming said anxiously.
Due to the transparency of gray fog information disclosure, there is a lot of relevant content in the database.
"So far, Gray Mist hasn't failed to fulfill his promise." Ye Xiao wasn't worried about that. "This time, we're going to meet that 'Doctor' who we've only heard of."
“The association’s management and the unicorn all have great admiration and respect for this person.”
"Such an existence would never deceive us on this matter."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Although I really hope to solve this problem, it doesn't matter if I can't. It's already a great honor to be able to leave Area 1."
The districts are connected to each other, and as long as you are in the gathering place, it is not difficult to cross districts.
However, after Gray Fog collected all the information, cross-regional activities were temporarily prohibited for the convenience of management.
Male insects in Area 1 are never allowed to go to the back areas or leave Area 1.
Although this rule was no longer in effect after the gray fog appeared, it was winter at the time, making it unsuitable for them to go out. Later, the winter season ended, but the gray fog issued a clear ban again.
It would be a lie for Ye Xiao and his friends, who were born and raised in Area 1, to say that they were not curious about the outside world.
Trains are also a novelty to them.
Even though they seemed to be daydreaming when the unicorn man was explaining in detail just now, everyone was listening attentively.
But what is the reality?
——They were listening attentively.
Just to avoid appearing ignorant, I pretend not to care.
The explanation of the unicorn, combined with the guidance of the "Star Travel" app on the terminal, was enough for them to fully understand how to take the subway, transfer to the ground train, and then get off at the central hall station.
Ye Xiao and the others chatted intermittently.
When the subway arrived at the platform, they heard the sound of the train before they saw the whole train.
There is still some difference between watching in the video and seeing it in person. Ye Xiao and his friends saw this huge monster for the first time and were unable to react immediately.
After a few beeps, the train door opened in front of them, accompanied by a broadcast.
We have arrived at Zone 1. Please get off first and then get on in order. Next stop is Zone 2.
"Let's go."
Ye Xiao was the first to come to his senses. He took two steps forward and approached the empty carriage.
Jiang Chen and the others followed.
Their expressions seemed calm, but their gazes around and observing the environment inside the train betrayed them.
