Chapter 303
Qi Xi sat on a stool, resting his hands on the table to support his cheeks, his legs swinging back and forth.
Listening to the teacher on the podium talking about some knowledge that was so basic that it couldn't be more basic, I had already learned it, and it was obvious that the teacher was learning and teaching at the same time, and the level was not as good as the video teaching.
The only good thing is face-to-face teaching, which is better for young children than this cold electronic screen.
But - Xiong's father didn't say that he sent him to school to learn these things!
It's obvious that he is just looking for a reason to get himself thrown out.
Thinking back to a week ago, the male insect said that the female father was too busy at work to take care of himself, and he also couldn't spare the time to bring himself with him, so he ended up staying with his brother for a week.
Qi Xi was angry and unhappy.
After counting the seven days with great difficulty, Xiong's father told him that the school had been built and that all the little bugs of his age should go to school.
Then, without giving in, he let Youyou take him to the car and asked Uncle Yan Ning to pick him up.
This is two days of classes.
He touched his empty wrist. The laptop was taken off before going to school and kept by Uncle Yan Ning. He could only get it back after school.
"Okay, that's all for today's class. I'll take you out to play for a while, and then your mother-in-law will come and pick you up."
A classroom was filled with insect cubs of Qi Xi's age. More than twenty cubs were crowded together and followed the teacher out of the classroom.
Qi Xi also jumped off the stool and walked to the end of the line.
Except for him, the entire class is composed of female insect cubs.
This is not surprising.
After all, this is Area 49, it would be strange to see a male insect cub appear here.
Female insect cubs at this age can already retract their antennae and wings. Unless they are accidentally exposed, it is difficult to tell whether they are female or male from the outside.
Qi Xi just stayed among the female insect cubs and got away with it.
The female insect cub walking in front turned her head to look at him and asked with a smile: "Qi Xi, why don't you look happy at all?"
"..." Qi Xi had his mouth drooping and looked very dejected at first glance.
"Because there is nothing to be happy about."
"How could that be? Father-in-law will be here to pick us up soon."
This school houses female insects of different ages, and the cubs are divided into different classes according to their age and taught by novice teachers.
Basically, the cubs that come here are those that their families cannot take care of, or their parents are also attending school, but they are not with them.
They are being taken care of here, waiting for the adults to pick them up after class.
But it’s not always like that.
After all, adult female insects progress quickly, but the learning speed of the cubs is slow. So after they start to enroll cubs in school, the number of cubs they enroll in starts to increase.
"My father-in-law won't come." Qi Xi muttered.
They had long forgotten where they were.
——Maybe both the male and female fathers have forgotten that they have a bug cub.
Outside the classroom, there is a newly planned playground with a fence to prevent the insect cubs from escaping. A teacher is responsible for handing the insect cubs one by one to the female insects who come to pick them up.
There is only Qi Xi himself and other new insect cubs here.
Yan Le, who was familiar with him, was too young. Although he was also sent here, he was not here.
For the bug cubs living in the gathering place, it is a rare opportunity to have a place where everyone can play together.
Only when they are very young are they sent to a place for additional care.
When they grow up a little more, the insect cubs, which have already begun to show signs of thick skin and flesh from the female insect, will be able to take care of themselves.
"Want to play games together?" The bug cub in front of him, who was talking to him, poked his arm carefully. "Let's go play together."
Although school had only been open for two days, most of the insect cubs sent here were from nearby. Even if they were not familiar with each other, they had met before.
After two days of getting along, we can already play together.
Only Qi Xi, a strange-looking but handsome little bug, stayed alone and did not participate in their games or conversations.
The teacher said that we should be harmonious and friendly and not leave any insect alone.
So after some discussion, the bravest bug cub took the lead in inviting Qi Xi and tried hard to get him into the small group to play together.
Beautiful cubs are not only loved by adult insects, but are also popular among cubs.
She has rare black hair and black eyes, with soft hair sticking to her cheeks, and a beautiful pair of big eyes that are moist even when she is unhappy.
Qi Xi, whose appearance inherited the genes of two excellent parent insects, is the most beautiful cub among the cubs.
Qi Xi replied listlessly: "I don't want to go, let me stay alone."
As a polite cub, I can't ignore other people's questions even if I'm unhappy.
"Come on, come on, it's really fun, I promise."
Obviously, the cub that came to call him to play didn't want to give up just like that.
The adult female insect who was watching over them had fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, indicating that she was already quite old compared to other female insects.
To be precise, it is the serious aging of body functions.
"Go ahead. We have to wait a long time today. It would be boring just sitting here waiting."
The adult female insect walked up to Qi Xi and gently patted the young insect who had been somewhat unsociable since entering school.
Compared to other insect cubs, Qi Xi always looks mature. I don’t know how his family raised him to have such a unique cub.
Qi Xi raised his head and looked at the teacher in charge of their class.
If it were other insects, he could refuse, but facing the female insect in front of him, he hesitated and finally couldn't say no.
"Oh well."
It was a feeling. Facing these Zerg who looked "older" than other female Zerg, Qi Xi had an indescribable feeling. That feeling made him unable to say no to them.
The book says that female insects only show signs of old age when they are less mature than old ones, and that female insects that show signs of old age are nearing the end of their lives.
"That's great—"
The cub took his hand and ran towards the group of cubs not far away that had been looking in their direction. As he ran, he said, "Everyone will be very happy to see you."
Qi Xi, who had been following the male father since he came out of the egg and being taken care of by the female father, learned a lot of things from the light brain, but he only partially understood most of them.
For example, aging, death, and the fact that the female insect cubs I saw at school were different from those I saw in books.
It is said that female insect cubs of this age cannot control their natural wings, but he has not seen any cub unable to control them in the past two days, just like Lele.
I have seen tentacles that can't be hidden...
Qi Xi was pulled into the pile of insect cubs. Facing the insect cubs that surrounded him, he felt like he could hardly breathe.
What should I do? I kind of regret agreeing to it.
On the other side, many cubs were secretly looking at them. Of course, they were mainly staring at Qi Xi who was surrounded in the middle.
Many insect cubs had wrinkled faces. If they had known that Qi Xi was so easy to talk to, they would have attacked him too.
——Qi Xi, who has been feeling a sense of crisis these past two days, has not looked good and looks a bit like a no-entry person.
"Hello, Qi Xi, we have been paying attention to you for a long time."
"Yes, yes."
"I've never seen you before. Do you live nearby?"
"Impossible! If Qi Xi lived nearby, I would have seen him."
Qi Xi: It’s a bit noisy.
Faced with pairs of eyes full of curiosity, Qi Xi moved his legs and almost ran away.
"I didn't live here before because I was in school. My father said it would be more convenient to live here, so he sent me to the house of an uncle he knew."
"Who is your uncle?"
"My uncle's name is Yan Ning."
"I know, I know. It's a bug my female father knows. I saw it yesterday."
The cubs were talking about him in a flurry, and they were all very interested in him.
"Qi Xi, do you know the game of catching bugs?"
"Close your eyes like this, and catch the bugs next to you... If you catch one, you win."
Qi Xi listened and shook his head: "I haven't played it before."
He usually either stays alone or goes to see his brother, but he has never played this game with his brother.
Obviously, this game needs three or five bug babies to be fun.
"Then let's play together."
"This is your first time playing, do you want to be caught or catch us?"
It actually sounds quite interesting, but this kind of game should be easy for them, right? They all have mental power, so wouldn't it be easy to catch them if they just used it quietly?
Qi Xi blinked and said, "I can do anything."
No matter which one, the difficulty of the game is the same for you.
How difficult could the games between the cubs be? While waiting to be picked up, the role of catching insects was soon changed among several insect cubs.
During this period, Qi Xi was never caught.
Not only was he not caught, the few insect cubs who were catching the cubs didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
At this time, basically everyone has had a turn.
Qi Xi also discovered something very strange during this process, that is, the spirits of these female insect cubs were so weak, even worse than his.
It was so strange, he couldn't understand it.
This is different from the videos you have seen.
"I caught you—"
Qi Xi was distracted and was hugged.
The bug cub holding him opened his eyes and smiled happily when he saw it was him: "I was the first one to catch it."
"Now that I've been caught, it's my turn to catch you."
Qi Xi tilted her head, smiling adorably, and said, "You better be careful, I'm very powerful."
"But isn't this your first time playing?"
“That’s pretty impressive too.”
"You better hide well. I will definitely catch you as quickly as possible."
"I don't believe it."
The desire to win surged in his heart, and Qi Xi rubbed his hands, ready to show them what speed meant.
…
Before Yan Ning came to pick up Qi Xi, he was still worried about how to coax this insect cub who had been dejected for two days, but unexpectedly, today was different from what he expected.
This happy and cheerful little creature, not only did not sit alone but also mixed with other insect cubs, is it really our own?
It seems that there is no need to worry about Xizi becoming autistic. I originally planned to contact Chu Xiu and talk to him if this continued.
"Xizi."
Yan Ning stood at the door and called Qi Xi's name, and Yan Le, who was holding her hand, also waved hard.
"Brother, we are here to pick you up."
When Qi Xi heard the voice, he raised his head and waved his hand.
Then he turned to the bug cubs who hadn't been picked up yet and said, "I'm going home now. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, Brother Qi, see you tomorrow."
The insect cubs who were shocked and attracted by his instant catching skills in the game just now looked at him with great admiration and unanimously recognized him as the big brother.
Although Qi Xi felt a little embarrassed, he changed his mind and thought that since he had been in the egg for so long, he could certainly be the older brother.
You are doing a good job being Lele's brother.
Qi Xi waved goodbye to the bug cubs he had just played with and became his younger brothers today, and ran towards Yan Ning who was at the door. He had to go home quickly and ask Uncle Yan Ning for a laptop.
It's been two days and neither the female father nor the male father has looked for me. Have they really forgotten me?
Thinking of this, Qi Xi couldn't help but pout.
The school teacher opened the door and let him out.
"Goodbye, teacher."
The teacher who opened the door smiled and replied, "See you tomorrow."
Yan Ning went to hold his hand, somewhat unsure of his rapidly changing mood. "What's wrong? Weren't you so happy just now? Are you separating from your friends?"
Yan Le grabbed his other hand and said, "Brother, are you unhappy?"
"No." Qi Xi said, shaking Yan Ning's hand, and said, "Let's go home quickly."
"I want to talk to my father-in-law and the others today."
Hearing this, Yan Ning thought of Qi Heng who had said not long ago that he was leaving Tianyun Star, and Chu Xiu who was in closed training and cut off from external communication, and she looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Yan Ning didn't know how to explain to Qi Xi the fact that he might not be able to find any.
"Okay, let's go home first."
The home Yan Ning was talking about was not the house they originally lived in, but the new residence that Qi Heng applied for them.
The infrastructure construction in District 49 progressed rapidly. All the low and dilapidated houses built with containers or random materials were rebuilt during this period.
The rebuilt houses are all five-story buildings with complete basic living facilities and water and electricity pipelines.
Qi Heng applied for a two-bedroom apartment in his own name for Yan Ning and Qi Xi to live in.
After the public rental housing is completed, it will be released in batches. All Zergs that meet the requirements can apply, and priority will be given to Zergs with higher contribution.
Because the contribution degree has its own independent system, which is automatically calculated in real time and is not subject to any external interference.
So his contribution is quite high.
——It’s hard not to be successful when one person does the work of several people.
A high contribution rate means that he can get the application as long as he applies, so it does not count as seeking benefits for himself.
In Qi Heng's plan, all these unsuitable houses need to be demolished, but reconstruction takes time, so there is a priority order in applying for new houses.
In addition to considering the contribution, the female insects who have houses but nowhere to live in the plains will also be considered.
There are also Zerg who, for various reasons, have not been able to join the contribution acquisition system and can only be ordinary citizens.
These Zerg generally have a difficult life due to physical reasons, so it is necessary to allocate some welfare housing in the reconstruction and resettlement plan and rent it to them at a low price.
The application standards for welfare housing are also different from those for ordinary housing.
He tried his best to take care of all the Zergs in different situations and who needed help, without leaving any one out.
In fact, this part has been going pretty smoothly so far.
A census conducted beforehand recorded the information of all Zerg. Combined with the distribution of terminals and the implementation of literacy education, almost all adult Zerg participated in various aspects of civilization reconstruction.
They can obtain jobs that they can do, participate in the credit point and contribution system, and then obtain all the materials needed for daily life.
The area where Yan Ning originally lived had been razed to the ground, but within a few days, a steel frame had been built on the ground.
Not too far from where he originally lived, buildings stood not far apart.
The building is five stories high and has four unit entrances downstairs. Inside are suite compartments of different sizes divided according to the number of residents after detailed planning.
Each building can normally accommodate 200 people, but the actual situation is different, and there will be even more Zerg living in it.
Yan Ning opened the door.
Qi Xi and Yan Le took advantage of their short stature and went straight inside, took off their shoes and ran in.
"Run slower."
Seeing him run into the room, Yan Ning laughed and shook her head.
As expected, the first thing Xizi did when he got home was to look for the laptop.
In the room, Qi Xi took out a laptop from under the pillow, turned it on skillfully, entered the password, and then found the chat box with his female father.
When he saw the message above, he felt disappointed as he was still stuck on what he had posted yesterday.
"Why haven't you replied to me yet... The same goes for Xiong's father..."
On the windowsill, a blue-tailed butterfly flapped its wings and flew in front of him.
Seeing the blue-tailed butterfly, Qi Xi's eyes lit up: "It's my brother. By the way, my brother must know why the female and male fathers ignored me."
He released some mental energy to communicate with the blue-tailed butterfly.
If there were any insects that had seen other blue-tailed butterflies, they would have noticed that the one in front of Qi Xi was a little different. The patterns on its wings were slightly golden, and its body was a size larger than that of an ordinary blue-tailed butterfly.
As long as the number of original Zerg is sufficient, Qi Lan can use them to build a mental network for communication.
At the beginning it was just a small area, but now that the number of Primordial Zerg has already exceeded hundreds of thousands, the mental network built by the Primordial Zerg is enough to cover all the areas Qi Lan wants to cover.
Through the spiritual network, with the blue-tailed butterfly as the medium, as long as the other party can also use spiritual power, Qi Lan can achieve barrier-free communication.
The unique blue-tailed butterfly in front of him was the one Qi Lan specially left for his younger brother to use for communication.
