Chapter 8: I love taking a bath, my body is in good shape. The door is...
"Enter".
The door was slowly pushed open. Before Henry could think of how to explain, he had already arrived at the door of Carlos' office. Justo knocked on the door very smoothly without any preparation.
Carlos looked up and saw the male insect, wet all over, with a look of helplessness and ravaged on his face.
The major general's eyes shot at Justu next to him like a knife. How could a good male insect become like this in just one hour?
Henry saw that the major general looked unhappy, and hurriedly explained, "Carlos, I just had a minor injury. Doctor Bug is making a fuss."
Injured? Carlos didn't want to make things difficult for the male insect, so he led him into the lounge. "Henry, your clothes are wet. Try mine first!" He took out a spare shirt and trousers from the cabinet.
After taking a look at the male insect, which was quite big, Henry's face turned red all of a sudden. "Let's do this for now. I'll go and you get out quickly, Carlos." He used some strength with both hands to push him out.
Really, even if he is a good brother, you can't be so disrespectful to him. It's just a little bigger. Damn it, everyone is the same as long as they have a belt.
Carlos, who was pushed out by the male insect, had a terrifying expression in an instant, "Justo, what happened?" The injury of the male insect was no small matter.
"Major General, Sahe thought he was one of those nobles, and acted impulsively..." Yusitu's eyes flickered, feeling somewhat guilty. "Your Excellency is not a male insect at all. After being provoked, you rushed in and fought with Sahe, and was injured by Sahe."
Saho even spread his wings, "Uh, that..."
Carlos's patience ran out when he heard the male insect was injured. "Stop hesitating and talk!"
"Sahe even spread his wings, but I stopped him. However, Baron Moore's female daughter Jinqi seemed to have seen it." Baron Moore has been trying to find faults with the major general recently and doesn't want the major general to be promoted so smoothly.
Jin Qi might not know the male insect, but the news that a noble had come to the military had spread throughout the military early on, except for Sahe who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, so it was not difficult to make the connection.
Carlos was of course aware of the seriousness of the situation, but now he was more concerned about the male insect's injuries. "Where is the male insect injured?"
Justu hesitated even more when he heard the question. It was truly shameful for an S-rank lieutenant from Morisham to attack an A-rank male insectoid. "Your Excellency's right arm was broken. Doctor Vigit has already treated him."
Interrupt? I couldn't imagine how much pain the male insect was in at that time. Carlos couldn't control his emotions, and the insect pattern slowly appeared.
Yusitu immediately realized the female insect's keen observation ability and silently mourned for Sahe and himself.
"Carlos."
The male insect's somewhat embarrassed voice came from the lounge, "Go to the law enforcement team to receive your punishment. Bringing Sahe with you is a violation of military discipline."
Justu knew that he had caused trouble for the major general, so he left quietly.

"What's wrong, Henry?" The male insect was injured, and the heartache on Carlos' face was almost overflowing, and his voice naturally became softer.
Henry tugged at the pants in his hand and said, "They are too big. Do you have any smaller ones?"
Carlos looked over and saw that the male insect had only wrapped his lower body with a bathrobe. His hair had not been dried yet and water droplets were dripping down the ends of his hair... He had always thought that the male insect was very thin, but he didn't expect the muscle lines on his arms to be so smooth and his abdominal muscles to be so tightly fitted.
Heat crept up Carlos's face, and he became even more nervous.
"Carlos." Henry looked at the dazed Major General, his eyes wide open. He wondered what he was thinking. He wondered if he was laughing at him. Did he think everyone's butt was as big as the Major General's? He actually laughed at him in his heart. Damn it.
"Oh oh oh, sir, what I gave you is new and has never been worn." Carlos also noticed that the male insect was a little angry and hurriedly explained.
Carlos didn't listen to him at all, which made Henry even angrier. "I mean, is there a smaller one?" The pants were okay, but the baggy stuff inside was really troublesome.
The major general, who was originally just slightly red, was now really steaming with excitement. "Yes, but the quality is not that good." Yusitu was always afraid of trouble when purchasing, so he bought all sizes.
"It's okay." Henry's expression brightened a little. He took the things from Carlos's hand and put them on. The pants were a little long, so he bent down and rolled up the hem.
Watching the male insect's series of actions, Carlos was simply stunned. The male insect was very majestic in size, and why didn't he avoid him at all? Did he treat him as a house insect?
"Major General, what are you thinking about?" It's not that Henry is very curious, but mainly because Carlos' bronze face is almost as red as a persimmon, which is really hard to ignore.
Carlos' eyes flickered and he began to look around. He accidentally saw himself in the mirror. The worm patterns were already very deep and could be seen clearly.
Carlos was no longer in the mood to think about anything else. His ugly face was seen by the male insect. "I... have insect marks..." He didn't know how to explain to the male insect. As long as he wasn't too excited, the insect marks wouldn't show up, and he shouldn't hate him.
Henry saw that he was stammering and unable to say a complete sentence, so he extracted the key word - insect pattern. Ka Meng mentioned that when female insects are emotionally excited, they will show insect patterns, usually on the chest and back of the neck.
Even the position of Major General Carlos' insect patterns is different from that of ordinary female insects. Is this an SSS-level female insect? It is extremely unique.
The insect pattern on the female insect's face is very gorgeous. Several red strips of paper are wrapped around and climb from the lower jaw to the end of the eye. A small red flower blooms in the corner of the eye. The insect pattern has a bit of a playboy feeling, which is completely inconsistent with the image of a major general.
"It looks good, what's wrong?" Henry interrupted him, mumbling without saying a word. Was he trying to show off his natural tattoo? He would get one someday.
Forget it, what if the tattoo affects my civil service exams? Some sudden DNA awakening.
Carlos was shocked by the male insect's self-righteousness. He didn't expect that there really was a male insect who didn't think his insect pattern was ugly. Obviously... Henry was really different.
The major general, who was originally very smart, was acting stupid today for some reason. Henry did nothing except completing the job application process and didn't even go to the office.
"I haven't gotten familiar with the job yet." Henry was a little depressed.
"It's okay, sir. I'll take you directly to the office tomorrow." Carlos condemned himself in his heart for his dereliction of duty. He couldn't even do such a small thing well.
*
The only sound in the office was the Major General signing documents. Occasionally he would come over and ask Henry if he needed some food or drink, but was refused by the male insect.
He couldn't do anything to disturb the major general's work, but it was really boring to just sit there. He wanted to go out for a walk, but he had just gotten into trouble, and what if he went out and got into trouble again... forget it.
"Kamen, is there any way to make me as strong as Junmei?" Fortunately, I still have friends.
"Not yet, host." Kameng's authority is indeed more than that of other systems, but it is also limited. It is definitely impossible to satisfy anything that destroys the balance of the world.
"Then..." Henry couldn't think of any other way for a moment. There was no magic. Apart from the more abstract mental power, the male insect's other feelings were similar to those of humans.
Mental power? "Kamen, does mental power have other uses?" This kind of abstract ability seems to have great potential. It doesn't make sense that it can repair the spiritual sea, but it has no lethality at all.
"Repair the spiritual sea? Of course, there are also some high-level male insects with strong mental power, so they can overload on some mental tasks." But it seems that is all.
This doesn't sound like it has anything to do with combat power. "The male insect is weak and powerless, so why does he have such a high status? He is just repairing his spiritual sea?" If he is so weak, it would be more reasonable to be captured.
"Host, the status of male insects hasn't always been this high." Ka Meng looked up the information specifically, "It was only after the establishment of New Ailidu that the status of male insects gradually rose to its current exaggerated level.
Data shows that male insects have experienced a significant decline in rank due to physical and mental damage. While both male and female insects rank from F to SSS, female insects peak at A, while male insects are currently only C.
The imbalance in levels makes it difficult for high-level female insects to suppress the riot in their spiritual sea, so the physical and mental health of male insects is highly valued, and gradually develops into what it is now.
However, data shows that the level of male Zerg has only remained stable over the past century, and has not increased as expected. But this is also good news for the Zerg."
Camon's explanation temporarily answered Henry's doubts, but the question of how to become stronger has not been solved. It would be great if he could have the observation Haki like a pirate and directly suppress the enemy mentally.
Mental suppression? Mental power can act on the female insect's mental sea. Since it can be repaired, it can theoretically also be disturbed.
"Why don't male insects attack the female insect's spiritual sea?" The spiritual sea is more deadly to the female insect.
"Host, don't think about these crooked ways?!" Ka Meng's horrified voice exploded in his mind, but the system's professionalism still made it unable to help but solve the host's doubts.
"It seems that initially, it was because the number of female insects far exceeded that of male insects. The male insects' mental strength was exhausted and there was a period of weakness. As long as the male insects were kept in this period of weakness, it would be difficult to completely suppress the female insects.
The rebellious male insects were locked up, and gradually, they began to give up resistance.
Furthermore, attacking consumes more energy than repairing, and male insects without dedicated mental training will find it difficult to successfully attack. Female insects' mental seas are already chaotic, so simply making them more tangled doesn't seem to have much killing power.
After saying this, Ka Meng added, "Host, don't think of these crooked ways. If you really can't stand that Sahe breaking your arm, you can sue him in a military court."
Henry frowned and said, "What does this have to do with that red caterpillar? As the protagonist, I must become the most powerful insect in New Alido." After saying that, he glanced at Carlos.
"Besides, my good brother is so strong, it wouldn't be good if I was too weak."
Thinking of this, Henry thought of something more important, "Ka Meng, do I still have a chance to grow taller?"
He used to be considered a standout among the crowd, but now he is a head shorter than a major general. It's so embarrassing.
"Host, whether you can grow taller depends on yourself. If you don't grow taller after awakening, there is nothing you can do." The topic finally returned to normal, and Ka Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
That means there is still a chance. With such excellent genes, how could he not grow? By then, he must be at least as tall as Major General Carlos.
It was good news, so Henry relaxed a little and chatted with Camon about random things while waiting for Carlos to get off work.
The first thing I do when I get home is to change my clothes. Now they are hanging loosely on my body, just like a cub wearing adult clothes. I have lost all my dignity.
