Harrison, upon hearing Han Ling's question, did not hide anything but smiled and said:
"Previously, the Cicada Clan prophesied that the opportunity to change the fate of the Zerg's extinction lay with the alien race."
"So you..." Han Ling frowned, looking at the 12 female insects in the conference room, and a guess came to mind.
Harrison nodded:
"That's right, just as you think."
Because the opportunity to rewrite our destiny lies with other races, we have been constantly contacting other life forms.
Examples include aurora life, amino life, silicon-based life, nitrogen-based life, and sulfur-based life.
Although they look strange, they have thoughts, can think, and are greedy enough.
As long as the Zerg have what they want, we'll try our best to make promises and lure them over.
Nothing material can compare to the continuation of the Zerg.
Upon hearing this, the system sighed in Han Ling's mind:
They are all formidable characters. In order to avoid extinction, the Yao Clan entered a period of slumber in the River of Time.
The Zerg are not to be outdone, having managed to seduce so many races.
Silicon-based life forms are somewhat similar to humans, so let's leave it at that.
Amino-based life forms are like a mass of water, nitrogen-based life forms are like a mass of sublimated gas, and aurora life forms can't even be kneaded into a cohesive mass. How could anyone bring themselves to do that?
Han Ling silently processed the news, and after a long while, she looked up at Harrison.
Han Ling asked:
"The previous prophecies mentioned that the alien races were hope, so what about now? What does your prophecy say?"
“Yesterday, a member of the cicada clan passed away, and a new prophecy has just appeared. I’ll sing it to you.”
Harrison hummed a lullaby softly:
"The black tuxedo wanders, and the immortal soul wanders aimlessly."
The sleeping bell has been rung, and a heart can bring hope.
The shadow in my dream said, "Kiss me, put your hands on my chest..."
Han Ling's eyes widened in shock when she heard the song.
The cicadas are really something else.
The lyrics of the ballad even claimed that the Yao clan's souls were immortal.
After humming the song, Harrison looked at Han Ling and asked sincerely:
"What are your Yao Clan's demands? Just like the monster from yesterday, you want the fresh flesh and blood of the Zerg?"
The Zerg can exchange hearts for more advanced genetic technology.
"Huh?" Han Ling picked at his ear in confusion. "I didn't understand. Could you say it again?"
Harrison asked again:
"What does the Yao Clan have? The Zerg Clan can exchange their hearts for it."
Upon hearing this, Han Ling straightened his expression:
“I think you’ve misunderstood. The Yao Clan doesn’t want living hearts.”
Harrison frowned:
"Is it going to rot? The Yao tribe in the ballads is indeed described as very dark."
Han Ling was somewhat amused and exasperated upon hearing this. He stood up and explained frankly to everyone:
"The Yao Clan needs a heart, but not a physical heart, but a sincere heart."
Like the Zerg, the Yao Clan has an extremely unbalanced gender ratio.
The Yao clan is now only male; what we need are mates.
Only males remain?
Harrison's brow was so furrowed it could trap a fly:
There are many males in the universe. But there is reproductive isolation between species.
"You're not males, so you can't possibly get females to give birth."
Han Ling smiled and said:
"The Yao Clan comes from another universe. Our bodies are highly similar to those of humans and also have similarities to those of the Zerg."
But the bodies of the Yao Clan can be altered by the environment and radiation. For example, I've become like this now.
As Han Ling spoke, he retrieved the tail hook behind him.
The spirit of the Yao clan is strong; as long as the spirit endures, it will not be changed.
But their bodies can change at any time for love.
Wherever they go, they blend into the local environment.
Han Ling picked up the tail hook and showed it to everyone:
"This tail hook only grew after I arrived in the Zerg star system."
So that it would be easier for me to mate with female insects.
Thinking about it this way, the Yao Clan is indeed very dark; our arrival is a genetic invasion.
Han Ling's words completely baffled everyone.
Bern Hill sat next to Han Ling, tilting his head back and looking at Han Ling in shock. He asked incredulously:
"Boss, did your tail hook grow in later?"
Han Ling nodded.
Bern Hill suddenly realized something:
"No wonder you don't date female insects, boss, or donate pheromones. Boss, is your tail hook unusable? Is it only good for decoration?"
Upon hearing this, Harrison's previously excited expression cooled down.
"Han Ling, if your tail hook is just for decoration, perhaps the Zerg and the Yao Clan will not be able to be together, let alone cooperate."
Han Ling waved his hand:
"You've misunderstood. My tail hook is fully functional."
Harrison pressed on:
"How do you intend to prove your tail hook works? Are you going to find a female insect to demonstrate it with you?"
Moreover, everything depends on the outcome, unless there is actually an insect offspring.
Otherwise, cooperation between the Yao Clan and the Zerg would be difficult to initiate.
You keep calling yourself the Yao Clan, but where is the Yao Clan currently located? And how many people are there?
Furthermore, how can you prove that the Yao Clan is the Black Suit from the prophecy?
Harrison had too many questions, and he stared intently at Han Ling, hoping to hear the answers.
Han Ling stood up, supporting himself on the conference table with both hands, and smiled:
"Since we're going to have an open and honest discussion, I won't hold back anymore. To show my sincerity, I will tell you all about the Yao clan in detail. And..."
Han Ling turned to look at the King halfway through her sentence.
The royal family has remained silent from the beginning until now, seemingly oblivious to the situation.
Sensing Han Ling's gaze, the king raised his eyes and met her gaze sharply.
Female Zerg generally appear to be around 20-30 years old, except for females who have experienced war, who may look more weathered.
Roderick bears a striking resemblance to the royal king, both possessing silver-white hair and dark gray eyes.
Han Ling smiled sincerely at the king:
"And I'm dating Roderick, and the tail hook has been proven to be usable."
Roderick?
At the roundtable meeting, doubts were evident in the eyes of the participants.
When they recalled a certain news item, they all looked at the royal family and the king with sudden realization.
So the eldest prince ran away from his marriage because he was dating Han Ling?
Then, in a fit of anger, the king banished the eldest prince from the planet of the emperor.
Although the cause and effect are messy, everyone has a pretty good idea of what happened.
The Zerg were left to process this outrageous news on their own.
Bern Mountain looked up at Han Ling, his eyes widening even more.
He kept thinking to himself that his eldest brother was about to marry the second prince, while his eldest brother, Han Ling, was the eldest prince's spouse.
After a long pause, he whispered:
"Boss, so I'm your brother-in-law."
Han Ling glanced at him with disdain. What the hell?
The king seemed stunned by the news. Several minutes passed before he shifted slightly in his chair and asked:
"Roderick? When did you meet him?"
Han Ling's heart skipped a beat. The royal king's reaction was not right. Could it be that Roderick had some secret?
Han Ling explained:
"After leaving the Imperial Planet, Roderick chose to rest on a junk planet at the edge of the star system in order to join the First Exploration Legion."
I met him in a hotel on a garbage planet.
To prove his point, Han Ling opened his personal terminal and selected a screenshot of their conversation.
He enlarged the screen and projected it onto the conference table so that everyone could see it clearly.
————————
Central time, 05:00 AM.
[Han Ling]: Good morning, baby, are you awake? Let me show you the moon on Aphrodite, it looks like a string of giant fish balls [image]
[Roderick]: Just woke up, are you going to sleep now, Your Excellency?
[Han Ling]: Call me "baby" within one minute, or I'll get angry.
[Roderick]: My dear, don't be angry.
[Han Ling]: Oh no, you called me "baby" and now I'm bursting with energy, I'm about to faint! Quick, send me a picture!
[Roderick]: [Photo] He's lying right on my abs.
Roderick posted a photo of himself lying on messy bedding.
[Han Ling]: [Blushing] Don't be so stingy, why don't you take more pictures?
————————
This chat screenshot wasn't long, but it stunned all the Zerg present.
In StarCraft, no Zerg player has ever been in a relationship.
How could such shameful terms of endearment come from the mouth of a cold and serious female soldier?
The atmosphere of romance permeated the entire room.
The female insect on the conference table made a fist, placed it in front of her mouth, and coughed a few times.
It seems that the Yao clan does indeed have some problems.
It seems to need a mate more than the female insect.
The royal king looked at Roderick's face, a face that bore a striking resemblance to his own, and his expression was one of embarrassment.
"Um...cough...this...uh..."
King Cromwell pondered for a long time, but still couldn't utter a single word.
In his memory, Roderick was a ruthless character who could tear apart mechs with his bare hands. How could someone with such powerful hands type such cheesy words?
Han Ling lowered his head and coughed awkwardly.
Actually, this chat screenshot was edited by him.
After all, this was in front of Roderick's relatives, and he couldn't act like a pervert.
During their conversation, he deliberately deleted the more explicit chat content and photos.
After all, he's a writer of Xiaohuangwen (a type of fictional novel), not a good person, so what good things could he possibly say?
As soon as the photo appeared, everyone present felt a little uncomfortable. They all lowered their eyes awkwardly, not daring to look around, and the atmosphere became much quieter.
Fortunately, Han Ling proved her identity.
After a while, Han Ling closed the chat history and said:
"Now, I will introduce the specific situation of the Yao Clan to everyone."
The system has complete records of information about the Yao clan.
After retrieving the information, Han Ling explained it carefully:
"Like the Zerg, the Yao Clan is the overlord of a universe."
The Zerg are highly skilled in combat, while the Yao are adept at using mental power.
"In the previous battles against the alien races, you should have seen how I used my mental power."
As Han Ling spoke, he took out a ring from his pocket and placed it in the center of the conference table.
The ring is set with different gemstones, and the band is also a different color.
Han Ling explained:
"Mental power can play many roles, the most common of which are the ten types I used before."
The gems and metals on the ring serve as a medium for the refinement of spiritual energy, enabling the stable release of skills.
For example, a platinum ring setting with a ruby can allow one to allocate mental energy as a [Taunt] skill, forcibly attracting the enemy's attention.
After hearing Han Ling's explanation, everyone couldn't help but pick up a ring and examine it carefully.
Bern Hill, holding the ring, asked curiously:
"Boss, can my mental energy be released normally without wearing these rings?"
Is the male insect's mental strength deteriorating because it's not wearing a ring?
Han Ling shook his head and smiled:
"The purpose of these rings is to prevent accidental injury."
If the Yao Clan's spiritual power is released without a medium, it will indiscriminately attack all living things.
For example, last night.
If I hadn't been wearing the ring last night, once the skill was unleashed, all the creatures present would have died instantly from brain death.
This includes the more than 600,000 male insects from Planet Aphrodite.
Han Ling's words startled Bern Mountain.
It turns out that they wore gemstone rings to protect their safety!
Bern Mountain quickly pushed the ring to Han Ling's hand.
"Boss, stop messing around, put the ring on quickly, it's too dangerous."
Han Ling smiled:
"Don't be nervous, everyone. Although the Yao Clan is powerful, they have no ambitions."
The previous segment showcased the muscular strength of the Yao Clan.
The next step is to lower the Zerg's guard.
Han Ling had prepared a draft last night, and now she was not at all nervous when she gave her presentation.
He calmly explained:
"The Yao Clan was born out of love."
Although it may sound sentimental, our lifelong pursuit is to find true love.
However, the Yao Clan later encountered the same problem as the Zerg Clan—an extreme gender imbalance.
Our generation can't find partners anymore.
Because I don't want to die alone.
So we decided to enter the river of time and slumber, waiting for our partner to arrive.
According to our time calculations, the Yao Clan has been asleep for hundreds of thousands of years in the long river of time.
It is similar to what is described in the prophecy of the Cicada Clan.
We do indeed possess an immortal soul.
Han Ling's words silenced everyone present once again.
The king, with a complex expression, suddenly asked:
What does "the river of time" refer to?
"Hmm..." Han Ling thought for a moment and explained:
"It is a static space in the spiritual dimension, where only time is in motion."
Have you ever heard the story of marking a boat to find a lost sword?
We are frozen in that space, and the rushing water is time; the silt carried forward by the water is different universes.
At this point, Han Ling smiled and said:
"As time flows through this universe, my mental energy becomes exceptionally active."
So I woke up and found my partner, Roderick.
After Han Ling finished her explanation, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone is processing this information.
Ten minutes later.
Harrison, head of the Zerg Development Planning Center, frowned and asked:
"Is the entire Yao Clan asleep? They need a specific partner to awaken them?"
Furthermore, the Yao Clan members are bound to their partners and won't sleep with other people, am I right?
Han Ling nodded: "That's right."
Harrison pondered for a moment, then said with some worry:
"The situation is this: although the number of male insects is small, they can still provide a suitable amount of pheromone fluid for hundreds of billions of female insects every year to ensure the birth of insect offspring."
However, the Yao Clan's conditions are too harsh. They require both a soulmate and the ability to awaken the spirit, which is a huge undertaking, and they probably can't even awaken a few dozen people. It's a thankless task.
Han Ling smiled, held up two fingers, and asked in return:
"What if I said that the population of the Yao Clan is twice that of the Zerg?"
