Time flies by.
In the dormitory.
Roderick was hiding under the narrow bed frame.
The air was thick with tension and anxiety.
His Excellency Han Ling's voice came through the light screen:
"He was pleading with his eyes, but the cramped space made it impossible for him to escape."
He felt as if he were standing beneath a waterfall, the river water constantly washing over his body, a refreshing sensation that made every part of his body tense up.
The male insect from the neighbor's house, Han Ling, was right behind him, and he felt a heat in his ear as he continued to fall.
And his incompetent lord is lying right above them on the bed, no more than 10 centimeters away by the thickness of the bed frame…
Two hours later.
Roderick angrily hung up the video call.
Before hanging up, Han Ling mustered all her strength and shouted out her last words:
"Come pick me up from Planet Aphrodite! Roderick! I miss you so much! If I keep holding this in, I'm really going to turn into a monster!"
After hanging up the call, Han Ling sighed, but a few seconds later, he smiled contentedly.
After a long hiatus, I've finally found inspiration for my third novel, "I Was Green-Haired and Eaten Up by the Neighboring Male Insect," which I've been struggling with for ages!
Roderick truly was his soulmate and his muse!
Just as Han Ling was still savoring the moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Han Ling put away his personal terminal and straightened his expression:
"Enter."
The door opened, and Bern Hill, clinging to it, poked his head out and laughed:
"Boss, I'm here. Did I disturb you? The first live stream is about to start. Want to watch together?"
Bern Hill's face lit up with excitement when he talked about the live stream; even the tendrils in his blond hair stood on end.
Han Ling shook his head:
"What's there to see in the male insects? I don't have time to look at them. Go see them yourself. I'm bursting with inspiration and need to write something."
Bern Hill pursed his lips:
"Okay, I'll go check it out myself. I want to see what Parma's live stream is like!"
"Go."
After Bern Hill left, the door closed again.
Han Ling turned around, sat down at his desk, and prepared to start writing, using his new book to stimulate the pheromones of the interstellar female insects.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Han Ling's mind.
[Host, if the entire Yao Clan awakens, what will happen to these original interstellar male insects? They lack mental power and protection, making it difficult for them to survive in the interstellar environment.]
Han Ling toyed with a pen in his hand and smiled:
"From now on, we're all one family, so let's not talk like strangers. After the Yao Clan comes over, they'll grow tail hooks and all of them will look like male insects. Then we'll be male insects too."
After three generations, there's basically no distinction between you and me.
As for these male insects... well, aren't they trying their best to make money?
Work hard to earn money now, so you'll have the funds to come to me for recovery later.
Male insects inherently possess spiritual power, although it is currently weak, it can be enhanced with a second stimulation.
Once the scientists of the Yao Clan awaken, equipping them with potential-enhancing drugs or Yao Clan gene-enhancing drugs will solve the male insect problem.
Upon hearing Han Ling's words, the system remained silent for a long while before speaking in shock:
[Host, you previously said you hated capitalism, but now... it turns out the establishment of live streaming platforms was itself a form of exploitation. That money will still end up in your pocket.]
Han Ling coughed twice:
"Power that is easily obtained is not cherished by anyone."
A transaction is about getting what you want by paying a price you can afford, and then feeling at ease about it.
That's fair, isn't it?
As for capitalists? I hate capitalists the most!

Edge of the Stars.
In the void of the universe.
The red-haired admiral, Ulysses's fleet, is still sailing forward.
Inside the operations command center.
Ulysses solemnly promised:
"Yes, Marshal. I will stay on the planet for six months this time. I will wait for James's data statistics."
The marshal nodded:
"Yes, this matter should be the highest priority; let's put everything else on hold for now."
Furthermore, soldiers will not receive bonuses if they do not go to war.
Therefore, all the gains from this voyage will be distributed as bonuses.
As for the 360 billion loan for the new recruit, it can be extended for six months.
Invitations to the Science City will be starting soon. Roderick might return to the Imperial Planet. If he requests leave, you can approve it.
Ulysses nodded:
“I’ve recently fought a few matches with Roderick, and I’ve noticed that every time I go all out, he pretends to lose and stops the match. This kid’s true strength is unfathomable.”
The marshal nodded:
"Yes, Roderick is very steady in fighting and never resorts to dirty tricks. However, he is too young and lacks experience."
It's likely that Roderick will lead the team on this trip to the Science City.
Ulysses opened his eyes wide:
"Roderick leading the team? Marshal, what do you mean?"
The marshal smiled:
"Emperor Planet has always determined success or failure by force. Roderick defeated all the females of Emperor Planet, including the current royal king."
That's why he appeared before the Zerg.
Because no one can defeat him.
When the emperor travels, all tribes shun him, without any fear or restraint.
The command center was completely silent.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a moment, Ulysses exhaled and gave a self-deprecating laugh:
"I see. That explains why the royal family suddenly announced Roderick's existence."
I've really been showing off my limited skills these past few days, actually teaching combat techniques to the strongest person in the interstellar realm.
The marshal waved his hand:
"Don't worry about these trivial matters. Based on his resume, Roderick is just a greenhorn right now."
Only when he makes sufficient contributions to the Zerg will he deserve the title of "strongest."
Ulysses chatted with the marshal for another ten minutes or so before hanging up.
After the meeting, Ulysses let out a breath, sat down at his desk, and quickly got into work mode.
Eight hours later.
After finishing his official duties for the day, Ulysses allocated the harvest quotas.
Furthermore, he also outlined a timeline for the next six months.
The schedule only includes three items: training, duty, and competition.
The rest of the time was spent letting the female soldiers play games.
I just don't know if forcing them to play games will have the opposite effect.
When the dinner bell rang.
Ulysses stood up and stretched his limbs.
He left the combat laboratory as usual and headed towards the canteen.
Walking down the street, Ulysses encountered James and Roderick again.
However, James's condition at this moment was completely different from that morning.
In the morning, James was still a little embarrassed. After his dream was exposed, he would lower his head shyly and walk away from the crowd.
But now, when James encounters a female insect teasing him, he proudly puffs out his chest and says:
"Brother, I have experience with dreaming. If you don't know many techniques, you can ask me, and I'll teach you a few tricks."
Huh? You're asking me about my experience? Hehe, you'll find out later. I'm the game's GM; nobody has more cards than me!
Ulysses smiled upon hearing this.
He thought of his own game account; he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on in-game purchases, and his number of cards was probably no less than James'.
He was actually a fan of Han Ling, not only among the first fans of the novel, but also among the first fans of the game's closed beta.
However, for some reason, he never fell asleep.
Although he gets excited when playing games and reading novels, no male insect has ever entered his dreams.
I'm afraid I'd be an unpopular member of the Yao Clan.
Ulysses shook his head and smiled bitterly.
No one else is in sync with him.
