When Roderick heard the medic's question, his breath hitched. So, the matter had been discovered after all.
Under the incredulous gazes of the entire audience, he slowly nodded:
"Yes, I went through my peak three weeks ago. But that's a private matter, is there a problem?"
Roderick didn't want to expose the garbage planet.
During those days, he stayed alone in the small hotel, thinking about many things.
For example, why would a male insect run away?
Han Ling would rather scavenge for food than reveal his male insect identity; there must be a reason for that.
All Roderick could do for Han Ling was to keep this secret.
But now, a corner of their story has been revealed.
Faced with Roderick's tough stance, the medic grinned:
"Hmph, you're really lucky, kid. At only 23 years old, you're already able to sleep with a male insect."
Judging from the scratches on your body, you two tried more than a dozen positions. It was great, wasn't it?
No trace could escape the keen eyes of the military doctor.
The male insect's scratch marks, carrying its unique pheromones, along with its tail hooks, allow it to extract the female insect's estrous fluid.
Only when both are combined can the female insect's invulnerable body be damaged.
Those scratches won't disappear within a month or two.
This is also why Roderick kept his clothes tightly covered.
Upon hearing the medic's words, Roderick expressionlessly spread his arms, holding the clothes in his right hand, and said:
"Stop talking nonsense and come check."
With this movement, the smooth muscles gradually tensed, the spine straightened, and the neck and jaw of the man looked like those of a god.
The red marks, as if deliberately displayed, were clearly visible to all the female insects present.
The quiet transport cabin instantly erupted into chaos.
—Holy shit! Holy shit! This is infuriating!
—Aaaaaah! I'm going crazy! How did he get to see the male insect?!
—Holy shit! I've been a military doctor for over ten years, and I'm still saving up credits, waiting to ask a B-rank gentleman for a date!
No wonder he was always wearing a coat! He kept it from us for so long!
—Damn it, damn it!
"Waaah, I've never seen a male insect in my entire life, except for a tiny hand in a special movie theater. That stupid female insect completely blocked your view."
In interstellar space, the ratio of females to males is vastly different.
The male insect is not visible on the female's normal growth path.
However, Roderick was able to easily make contact with the male insect.
They even got things done during the peak of the hype.
This caused all the female insects present to lose their guard.
They were shouting loudly, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
Roderick quietly conducted the examination.
After the test was completed, he put his short-sleeved shirt and jacket back on and calmly walked off the testing station.
No one knew that his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, had finally settled down.
Roderick breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no one asked him who this male insect was or where he had met him.
Everyone present tacitly agreed that he was the male insect lord they had met on Emperor Star.
But where are the male insects on Emperor Star? They're all single females.
Fortunately, Emperor Star's information was well-secret, so no one suspected anything.
As soon as Roderick walked to the support pillar, James surrounded him.
James' eyes lit up, and he was as excited as if he had drunk a bucket of coffee; his eyes were even red.
"Roderick, you're the Crown Prince? You even have a male insect? You've already experienced the male insect? Was it comfortable?"
James's words came out like a machine gun, firing off countless questions in one breath.
Roderick shrugged, offering a vague answer instead of a direct one:
"It's just what you heard."
Then, like a madman, James started spinning in circles around Roderick, muttering incoherently:
"I can't even imagine how awesome you must be! Once I have enough credits and merits, I'm going to propose to the male insect. I'm going to be covered in medals too. That's so cool, bro! The male insect will definitely be very pleased with your body covered in medals!"
Upon hearing this, Roderick tossed his short silver hair and smiled slightly.
That crazy night, Your Excellency the Male Insect was indeed very satisfied with him.
By the time the new recruits finished their physical examinations, it was already night.
That day, all the new recruits received their dormitory keys.
Following the directions of the key, they found their dormitory.
Once females reach adulthood, they develop a strong sense of territory.
Even female soldiers have to live in single dormitories.
James's house was right next to Roderick's house.
The two greeted each other and then returned to their respective dormitories.
The dormitory is a single-story, all-white building.
Setting it up is as simple and quick as setting up a tent, making it a common form of lodging in interstellar travel.
Roderick opened the door and looked around.
The apartment has only one living room and one bathroom. You can see the army green bed as soon as you open the door, and the bathroom is right next to it.
He walked into the bedroom, and the door locked automatically.
In the enclosed room, Roderick's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Although we encountered many setbacks today and our identities were exposed, thankfully, the matter concerning Lord Han Ling was not discovered.
He quickly took a shower and came out to see a message from James.
James: [Want to play a game together? There's a really popular game out there lately, it's called a dating simulation game, wanna play? I heard it's really fun, and there are male insects in it!]
Roderick, drying his hair, replied:
"I want to rest now, let's talk about it tomorrow."
James: [Okay, since you have a real male insect to sleep with anyway, I'm going to play by myself. The ads for this game are everywhere right now, they look pretty good.]
Roderick closed the chat interface and casually strolled around the square.
Back on the garbage planet, he was afraid of being caught, so he never dared to turn on his personal terminal.
Only now, having arrived at the First Exploration Legion's base, do I dare to connect to the network.
Roderick lay in bed, casually searched his name, and gave a wry smile upon seeing the results.
Topics related to the royal family, the eldest prince, the second prince, and the crown prince all topped the trending searches.
Now that his identity has been completely exposed, Roderick can only wait and see what happens next.
He glanced at the fifth-ranked trending topic and thought to himself with a bittersweet smile:
"Is this the game James was talking about? I didn't expect it to be so popular, it even ranked fifth on the trending topics. I can try it out tomorrow."
He shut down his personal computer, returned to the chat interface, and scrolled through a list of friends and contacts.
After looking around, Roderick realized that all his connections were on Emperor Planet.
As a result, I don't even have any friends to have meals and drinks with to relieve my boredom now.
Emperor Star has a separate network channel, which is inaccessible to the outside world.
Just then, a friend request popped up.
[It's fate that we met. I'd like to add you as a friend. Do you accept?]
