Chapter 97
The fat bug and the baby bug, who had their foreheads tapped, looked at each other, and finally saw the unwillingness to admit defeat in each other - neither of them let go, and completely ignored Qi Heng's words.
Not only did he not let go, he held her even tighter.
Qi Heng, who was holding each of them tightly, found it difficult to even move, let alone walk: ...
"Don't let go yet." He repeated, his tone unchanged.
Qi Lan and Qi Heng have spent more time together than the insect hatchlings that have just hatched from the eggs. He can distinguish Qi Heng's emotions more carefully and can tell that he is not angry.
Therefore, compared to the insect cub that was a little scared and hesitated about whether to let go of his hand because of Qi Heng's words, it simply loosened its grip a little and had no intention of letting go at all.
It was Qi Lan's behavior that gave the insect cub the courage to hold on.
The young insect was reluctant to let go, and tried to look up at his father. His eyes were red and pitiful, as if he would drop gold beans the next second if he let go.
——I haven’t seen my male father since I came out of the egg. Now I finally have the chance to be close to him. I don’t know when the next time will be.
Chu Xiu, who was standing aside, didn't expect that his male insect cub was so bold. He insisted on not letting go even after the Lord clearly refused.
Chu Xiu was a little anxious. He wanted to go forward and take the insect cub away, but he was afraid that his approach would make the Lord unhappy... But if he continued to let it go, he was worried that the insect cub's behavior would make the Lord angry.
Qi Heng had no idea what Chu Xiu was thinking of him. He still had things to do and didn't have the extra time to play games with these two kids who were less than ten years old in total.
Judging from the insect cub's performance just now, Qi Heng already knew which one to deal with first.
After making up his mind, he reached out and pressed the back of the fat worm's neck, pulling the worm away from his feet.
"That's all."
"Ah——" Qi Lan was a little depressed when he was pushed away.
Qi Heng smiled and patted Qi Lan's head. He spoke in a gentle and soothing tone, saying with a carefree smile, "Go eat. You are still responsible for filling a large gap. The original Zerg who are filling the vacancies need your efforts."
"I promise you, once this busy period is over, I'll spare the time and energy to 'build' a body for you."
"You can follow me then."
“——Oh.” Qi Lan, who was originally a little unhappy, suddenly became happy when he heard it.
"Really?! ! Hero father, you can't lie." "It has long wanted a humanoid appearance like the Tianjia Zerg. What's the point of reincarnation a second time? Isn't it just for this!"
"Have I ever lied to you?" Qi Heng stroked its head.
"No." Qi Lan answered without hesitation.
"Well, that's right, go ahead."
Qi Lan happily moved back to his original eating position. Thanks to the hard work of the tool worm, a lot of obsidian crystals had piled up next to him.
Done, just coax a √.
Qi Heng thought about it and looked at the other one at his feet.
Looking at the pair of eyes that were very similar in shape and outline to his own, he sighed, resignedly bent down and hugged the insect cub that was clinging to his calf.
I don't know if it was startled or frightened, but the moment he approached, the insect cub unconsciously let go of his hand. The whole process was done without any effort.
Qi Heng stood up and felt two delicate arms holding his neck. His keen hearing allowed him to hear the heartbeat close at hand.
Then, accompanied by a cautious rubbing, an inaudible sound fell into my ears.
"Father Xiong, I like you."
The little bug was so nervous as he tried to express his thoughts that he felt his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
Qi Heng looked over and saw the insect cub with a flushed face and a pair of sparkling eyes, expecting his response.
“…” I really lost to him.
Forget it, what do kids know.
Even if the Tianjia Zerg cubs grow fast, think about it, it has only been a few days since the cubs came out of the egg, and their intelligence is not as good as Yan Le... I guess they are just following instinct to get close to me.
Qi Heng, who had conducted in-depth research on the young Tianjia insect race, was very clear about this.
"I like you too, so can you let me have a good talk with your female father?" He scratched the tip of the insect cub's nose, and was rarely straightforward.
Qi Heng didn't miss the big smile on the bug cub's face because of these words.
Then, before he could react, the bug cub quickly kissed his cheek. Then, shyly moving its little bottom, it tilted its head in Chu Xiu's direction, raised its arm, and waved it, beckoning him to come over.
"Father, father—"
Chu Xiu was stunned and looked at the Lord in confusion.
Qi Heng said nothing, but nodded slightly, motioning Chu Xiu to come over. He had finally figured it out: children's thinking was unpredictable, and the same was true for young insect cubs.
"Your Excellency, you..." Chu Xiu walked up to him and spoke completely subconsciously.
However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chu Xiu realized that he had called out the wrong thing and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I'm used to it."
"It's okay."
Qi Heng shook his head slightly and said, "There's no one else here, so it doesn't matter if I called the wrong person."
Chu Xiu's memory was flawed; for him, it was still stuck in the Dominant period. Compared to the names he was used to, his own name was unfamiliar to him, so it was natural for him to call it the wrong name.
After hearing his words, Chu Xiu asked tentatively: "Does this mean that I can continue to use the old name when no one else is around..."
Qi Heng was surprised to find that Chu Xiu seemed to be particularly obsessed with the name. Seeing this made him confused, but he was not yet at the point where he had to know the answer.
He said: "No need to explain, it's your freedom."
While they were talking, the young insect stretched out its upper body to touch the female father, and only let go of the female father's hand after grabbing it and placing it on the male father's hand with satisfaction.
Qi Heng, who always disliked getting too close to others, frowned, wondering if it would be too disrespectful to Chu Xiu if he pulled his hand away and took a step back.
In the end, he endured it.
It’s not that I’ve adapted to it, but I feel that it’s a bit of an overreaction.
Qi Heng hypnotized himself in his heart that this contact would only be for a moment and would not last too long.
Chu Xiu, watching his hand fall into his, was as stiff as a log, not knowing what to do… Take his hand back? He was reluctant.
The bug cub didn't notice the undercurrent between them and said happily, "Male father, female father, talk."
"Be good, baby. Go play with Chongchong." Chongchong said, pulling his clothes and wanting to get down to the ground.
Qi Heng readily put the insect cub down, took a step back, and pulled his hand out at the same time.
As a result, the distance between him and Chu Xiu widened a little.
The bug cub he put down was wearing the small clothes he brought from Area 49. It looked at him hesitantly and then climbed down the platform happily. Its movements of climbing the stairs were so skillful that people didn't worry about it falling at all.
Qi Heng asked thoughtfully: "The insect he mentioned..."
Before he could finish, Chu Xiu automatically took over and explained, "It's a gold-eating insect."
"The gold-eating bug had nothing to do these days, so it was dormant in a corner when it was discovered by a cub crawling around, and then it got entangled by it."
"I think the gold-eating beetle will be free for a while, so I'll let it play with the cub. If you mind, I'll go and bring the cub back immediately..." Chu Xiu said, as if he would take action immediately if he nodded.
"Need not."
Qi Heng looked at the bug cub that was halfway up the stairs, and thought of the scene he saw when he entered the fourth floor. He said, "Since they get along well, let it play with him for a while."
Now that there's no metal, the gold-eating bugs are useless. If the bug cubs like it, they can temporarily take over the babysitter position.
"Anyway, before mining the metal veins and smelting the metal, the gold-eating insects don't have anything else to do."
Chu Xiu almost immediately understood the subtext of his words. Thinking about the commander's continued behavior of breeding mining bugs, he asked him, "Do you know the specific location of the metal vein?"
Chu Xiu knew that Tianyun Star had a large amount of undeveloped mineral resources, but asking him where these mineral resources were located was a difficult question for him.
"The approximate location can be determined. The mineral veins in that area are not only rich in reserves, but also contain some associated metal minerals that can be used to smelt and refine special alloys..." Qi Heng was very satisfied with Chu Xiu's reaction. He was worthy of being a former consul. His sensitivity to information and analysis speed exceeded 90% of the people he had met.
"Once a new batch of mining worms arrive, we will build a smelter on site near the metal vein for convenience. You will be responsible for this aspect at that time." The plan has already been made, and only the east wind is missing.
"yes."
Chu Xiu responded without any hesitation. He believed that since the Lord said that a smelter would be built, it would definitely be built. There was no doubt about that.
"Have you finished reading the information in the optical computer I sent you?" He had previously asked the mining worm to bring the optical computer, which contained some transformation plans for Tianyun Star. Now he wanted to hear Chu Xiu's thoughts.
"I've finished reading it."
"Now that you have finished reading it, do you have any new ideas about the future development of the Tianjia Zerg on Tianyun Star?" When he gave it to the light brain, he didn't know that Qi Lan had even told others about the "gray fog", so the light brain in Chu Xiu's hand was still missing some information related to the gray fog.
Qi Heng thought about this and said, "Give me the optical computer."
"Yes." Chu Xiu handed the laptop to him.
Qi Heng took the computer and asked A0 to update it. After making sure there was nothing missing, he handed it back. "I've added some content about the gray fog. You can take a look at it later when you have time."
"Your plan is perfect." Chu Xiu said to him, holding the laptop. "According to your plan, the situation on Tianyun Star will soon improve."
"The Yan and the others you mentioned will be great helpers and will be able to advance your plan faster. We need more Zergs like them to join us..."
"There are a large number of Zerg on Tianyun Star. Even if their wings are plucked out in infancy, it won't affect their inherent talents. As they grow out of their ignorance and learn to understand this world, they will be able to better identify those among them who possess talents that should be cultivated."
"I will go to the dungeon later to meet the insects like Yan that you mentioned, and help them screen out useful insects." Although the samples are limited, there will always be useful ones if you look carefully.
Chu Xiu expressed his views clearly. In his eyes, the Tianjia Zerg in the dungeon have been divided into two types: those worth cultivating and those useless.
Qi Heng knew that Chu Xiu's words could not be blamed for being too cold-blooded. After all, the Tianjia civilization in the 'past' had always done so under the guidance of the master.
——There are too many outstanding individuals in the civilization. In order to compete for better positions, all the insects in the Tianjia civilization, whether female or male, have been curled up since childhood, curling themselves and others.
