Chapter 2 I Became a Zerg 2
Zhang Xiaojia was too lazy to walk, so he spread his wings, made them smaller, and flew to his seat.
Looking at my seat, first class, in the corner window seat, there is plenty of space. I press the isolation cover and see that there are many options. I don't need the privacy option now.
She had also sat on Star Mother, but at that time she was still in insect form and could only sit in the fifth class cabin.
Star Mother will cross several wormholes and come to the Imperial Zerg School.
When human beings' star mother crosses the wormhole, she may get lost in the wormhole, but the worms will not get lost in the wormhole.
Zhang Xiaojia spread his wings, wrapped himself with them, and nestled comfortably on the observation deck to watch the nebula.
She was happily munching on a bag of Zerg-made crispy snacks, which tasted like potato chips on Earth, but crisper, with a hint of honey pheromone aftertaste, when she suddenly heard a deliberately suppressed sneer from the side.
It tastes so good. I should have bought more if I had known she would.
"Tsk, you're a defective product, and you have the money to fly first class? You might as well spend it on nanosurgery. Are you stupid?" A Zerg girl wearing a gorgeous mimicking exoskeleton glanced at her arrogantly, her antennae trembling slightly, releasing a hint of sarcasm. "Here, I'll give you 20,000 credits and let me take the seat."
Behind her followed two noble Zergs.
Zhang Xiaojia slowly swallowed the last piece of crispy shell and blinked his compound eyes: "Defective product? Are you talking about yourself?"
Royal bug, seeing that she has no money, give her money to develop nanotechnology?
The purple-armored girl froze, a faint red tinge of anger emanating from the edges of her shell. "You—don't know what's good for you!"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and took out a thick book. "Article 7 of the 'Minor Zerg Protection Law': Publicly insulting a Mimic for not evolving successfully will result in a fine of 10,000 credits—oh, and for nobles, that's tripled. Thank you for your patronage. However, you appear to be minors. If you call a Mimic for not evolving successfully a defective product, you'll have to copy the 'Minor Zerg Protection Law' ten times..."
The two noble Zergs fell silent instantly, the color of their shells changed, and finally they shrank back into their seats in disappointment, pretending to be very interested in the scenery of the wormhole outside the window.
The royal girl had a very ugly expression on her face and said angrily, "I'll give you credit coins."
Zhang Xiaojia blinked and said, "I don't want it~ You called me a defective product, I recorded it~"
"You just said I was defective~"
Zhang Xiaojia argued, "Did I just use a question mark? It doesn't count~"
"What do you want?" Lori said with a cold face.
Zhang Xiaojia opened the isolation mask and pulled her to the sofa opposite his seat.
"You are a royal bug, right? What are the accommodation conditions like at the Imperial Zerg School? How many credits are there for a single room?" Zhang Xiaojia fed potato chips into her mouth.
Luo Li probably understood what Zhang Xiaojia meant.
"A single room costs two hundred thousand. A poor fellow like you can only rely on allocation. Twenty people in one room."
She was poor and only had 100,000 yuan thanks to the government. From childhood to adulthood, she had used all the credit coins given by the government to buy snacks.
Zhang Xiaojia twitched his lips and said, "I think you want to copy the "Minor Zerg Protection Law" ten times?"
Luo Li looked at the thick "Minor Protection Act" and said, "...What do you want?"
Zhang Xiaojia clutched her heart and said, "My fragile heart was hurt and I was verbally bullied. Teacher Xie told me that Chongchong was being bullied, so I went to the Juvenile Chongchong Protection Association."
Lori's forehead veins bulged and she gritted her teeth. In the past two years, the empire has attached great importance to the protection of underage Zerg.
"Imperial School, single room, I'll pay for you for a year." If I paid her, I wouldn't be able to buy that beautiful bag.
Zhang Xiaojia wrote the contract and handed it to her for signature.
Luo Li took the contract and saw Zhang Xiaojia's handwriting.
Why?
The handwriting of this commoner is more beautiful than hers as a royal. She has a special teacher to teach her.
Lori picked up the pen and signed the document.
Zhang Xiaojia put the contract away.
Luo Li had just finished signing the contract and returned to her seat with a gloomy face. The two noble Zerg followers did not dare to say anything and just secretly glanced in the direction of Zhang Xiaojia.
Just then, a human girl boarded the starship. She was dressed in an elegant interstellar academy uniform, her black hair tied in a high ponytail, and an expensive neural link terminal on her wrist. She looked around, her gaze lingering on Zhang Xiaojia's wings for a moment, a scornful smile curling her lips.
"Tsk, Zerg 'defective goods' can even sit first class?" She deliberately raised her voice to ensure that the passengers around her could hear. "It seems that the standards of interstellar routes are getting lower and lower."
Zhang Xiaojia was gleefully looking at the accommodation contract she had just extorted. Hearing this, her wings trembled slightly, but her face remained beaming. She slowly pulled a piece of sensor paper, as thin as a cicada's wing, from her pocket. With a flick, it automatically attached itself to the human girl's arm.
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped." Zhang Xiaojia blinked his eyes and spoke innocently.
The human girl frowned and reached out to tear off the sensor paper, but found that it did not move at all, and instead began to glow faintly.
"What is this?!" She was a little panicked.
Zhang Xiaojia tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "Oh, this is the Zerg's latest 'emotion sensing paper', which can detect a creature's true emotional fluctuations. For example, if your heartbeat is accelerating and your adrenaline is surging, it means you're nervous, or...jealous?"
The human girl's face froze. "What nonsense! How could I be jealous of a bug?"
Zhang Xiaojia spread her wings and gently flapped them twice, saying in a leisurely tone, "For thousands of years, humans have dreamed of flying. Unfortunately, you can only rely on bulky mechanical wings, while we Zerg—" She pointed to her wings, "we are born to fly."
The human girl gritted her teeth, "So what? You're just lowly creatures!"
The sensor paper suddenly flashed with an even stronger light. Zhang Xiaojia feigned surprise. "Wow, strong emotional fluctuations detected—anger, resentment, and... envy?" She leaned closer and spoke loudly, "You really want to try flying, don't you? Unfortunately, human genes limit you, while we Zerg are already new species."
The passengers around them began to whisper among themselves. There were humans, Zerg, and even a few interstellar hybrids casting playful glances. The human girl's face flushed crimson as she yanked off the sensor paper. This time, it actually worked. She glared at Zhang Xiaojia fiercely and quickly walked away.
"Wow~ You don't want to sit in the first class anymore? Are you going to the civilian cabin? Goodbye~ Don't come again~" Zhang Xiaojia waved his hand.
Zhang Xiaojia took back the sensor paper, stuffed it back into his pocket with satisfaction, and turned to wave in Luo Li's direction: "Thank you, Miss Royal Family, your credit coins are really useful~"
Lori: “…” Carapace turned purple with anger.
Zhang Xiaojia casually took out a fruit lunch box, which was prepared for her by He Fei. It contained strawberries, watermelons, cantaloupes, and lychees. She ate them leisurely.
Zhang Xiaojia spent his time eating, drinking and sleeping.
When I woke up, I jumped through another wormhole and arrived at Empire Star 2. Humans seemed to call this star Federation Star 3.
A planet where humans and insects live together.
This planet is a school, and there are three schools.
Imperial Zerg School
Federal Human School
Star School
All students and insects who come here to study must study for at least 8 years.
"Empire Star 2 is about to arrive. Passengers, please prepare to disembark." A soft voice came from the radio.
Zhang Xiaojia folded his wings, shrinking them to the size of Cupid's small wings.
The bugs and humans in first class stared at her in amazement—this level of wing control was extremely rare.
Luo Li couldn't help but come over and said: "Can you please fold your wings completely? They are too conspicuous."
Zhang Xiaojia grinned and took out the payment code: "Show me one thousand credit coins~"
Lori's antennae trembled with anger, but she still transferred the money reluctantly.
Only then did Zhang Xiaojia completely hide her wings with satisfaction. Her back looked no different from that of an ordinary human girl, with only the occasional flash of the shell's luster hinting at her Zerg ancestry.
"Are you really a perfect mimic?"
Zhang Xiaojia said calmly: "Maybe!"
But walking is so troublesome!
The starship slowly landed at the spaceport of Empire Star 2. Through the porthole, Zhang Xiaojia saw a shocking sight - three huge college buildings arranged in a triangle, a bustling interstellar city.
The most magnificent building has the unique spiral structure of the Zerg and is covered with a biological shell that can change color according to the mood. It must be the Imperial Zerg School.
The mayor of the town said that Bugs would come to pick her up, but she looked around and saw no car or starship coming to pick her up.
When Zhang Xiaojia saw Luo Li was about to go to the Deluxe StarCraft, he hurried over.
"Miss Wang, you don't want to default on your debt, do you?" Zhang Xiaojia said with a smile.
Luo Li frowned and said, "Shut up, I still know that a person should keep his word."
Zhang Xiaojia thought she believed it, but she didn't want to walk to school, so she followed her onto the starship.
"Let me follow you! It's safer to follow you. After all, I'm a poor guy."
Luo Li snorted coldly, "Whatever you want."
The starship is fast, it arrived in fifteen minutes.
But it’s so far from the door!
Zhang Xiaojia spread his wings and flew up.
When I arrived at the registration office, I felt the class division even more clearly.
The Imperial Zerg School has many majors, and currently has three majors.
Command major, Combat major, Mecha major (new)
When Zhang Xiaojia arrived at the conducting major and queued up to register, he felt strange looks from all directions.
She turned on the camera.
Pheromones of disgust, ridicule, and contempt were also directed at her from all directions.
Pheromones are not offensive, and if someone doesn't like you, it's not illegal.
Zhang Xiaojia was rarely disliked and hated by others, and she felt a sense of freshness in her heart.
Those queuing up were all little bugs that had just been mimicked a month ago. In other words, they were all underage little bugs. Zhang Xiaojia was not angry at all, because who would really be angry with a child?
Mr. Beetle at the registration desk pushed up his glasses, a cold light flashing in his compound eyes: "Name?"
"Zhang Xiaojia."
Beetle's antennae suddenly stiffened, and warning lines appeared on his shell. "Are you the civilian who relied on genetic drugs to achieve perfect mimicry?" A pungent repulsive odor suddenly mingled with his pheromones. "The command major isn't for you. Go queue up for the combat major next door."
Zhang Xiaojia's wings trembled slightly, but she still kept a smile on her face: "Teacher, Article 36 of the "Minor Protection Law" stipulates that mimics have the right to choose their own majors."
"Heh," Beetle's shell tinged with a sarcastic red. "Do you know how much the dormitory for the Conductor major costs? Two hundred thousand credits per year!" He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone around could hear. "An orphan like you on government assistance can't even afford a tool kit for the Mecha major!"
The little nobles in line let out murmurs of laughter, and a young man in purple armor even deliberately released a foul-smelling contempt.
Zhang Xiaojia took out his admission letter, opened the terminal, and brought up the projection. "The Zerg Emperor personally issued this letter. I can choose any major, and all expenses are free. According to school regulations, the Command major requires a double room, so I can apply for free."
She continued to calmly open and call up the contract projection: "I'm sorry, Lori has already prepaid the entire year's accommodation fee for me. According to the regulations, I can use the money Lori gave me to upgrade to a single luxury dormitory." She deliberately enlarged the close-up of the royal seal.
"This...this..." Beetle teacher's legs tapped the screen in panic, "But the Conducting major requires a letter of recommendation from a noble!"
Zhang Xiaojia's wings suddenly spread out completely. In response to Xiao Chongchong's ridicule, Zhang Xiaojia could say that the child was young and ignorant, but as a teacher, he actually discriminated against him.
"Article 9 of the Supplementary Regulations of the Zerg Minor Protection Act states that no educational institution may restrict students based on their background—" She leaned in closer, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Teacher, do you want to be sued in an interstellar court?"
"What's going on?" A tall Zerg in a commander's uniform approached, the royal crest on his chest gleaming dimly. His gaze fell on Zhang Xiaojia's wings—the pair of iridescent membranes that were now deliberately spread out to a width of two meters.
Zhang Xiaojia stood at attention: "Report! I'm trying to use Article 21 of Chapter 4 of the Minor Protection Act to protect my legal rights!"
The commander's eyestalks moved slightly, and seeing that she didn't fold her wings and continued to spread them out to provoke her, she looked like a little thorny bug. Suddenly, he used his forelimbs to type out a string of codes on the registration teacher's desk.
The teacher immediately brought up the screen with a trembling voice: "Zhang... Zhang Xiaojia, your dormitory is in Building 7, Area S."
"Area S?!" The noble larvae behind them suddenly became agitated, and the sound of shells clashing echoed. That was the villa area exclusively for the royal family.
As the commander turned, an arc of electricity flashed across the edge of his elytra. "By the way, your 'legal rights protection' behavior—" He popped up a floating ticket, "Violation of the school rule 'Ordinance on Spreading Wings in Public Places'. Fine of 2,000 credit points."
Zhang Xiaojia blinked at the ticket, then suddenly bared his fangs. "Teacher, according to the 'Minor First Offender Exemption Clause,' I can choose to... copy the regulations, right?"
Zhang Xiaojia took out a pen and paper on the spot, copied out the violation of the school rule "Regulations on Spreading Wings in Public Places", which resulted in a fine of 2,000 credit points, and handed it to the teacher.
The entire registration area suddenly became so quiet that one could hear the sound of pheromones flowing.
The commander's body froze for three seconds, then he turned around and said, "Be at the training ground an hour early for tomorrow's morning class!"
After the majestic figure disappeared, Zhang Xiaojia turned around and smiled sweetly at the stunned registration teacher: "Teacher, can you tell me how to get to Area S now?"
Zhang Xiaojia turned around and smiled sweetly at the stunned registration teacher: "Teacher, can you tell me how to get to Area S now?"
