Chapter 5 I Became a Zerg 5
As the timer beeped as it reached zero, he slowly stood up, his newly formed wings expanding to a terrifying six meters wide. "0.1 seconds, enough to die a hundred times on the battlefield."
Zhang Xiaojia exhaled black smoke and looked up at him. "Cheating..." Her carapace still pulsed with residual electricity. "How can a Zerg...have two pairs of wings..."
Tang Han frowned and said, "Did you study hard when you returned? Don't you even know the species of Zerg? You illiterate little bug!"
Tang Han's tentacles suddenly released high-pressure pheromones. "Everyone, ten times the gravity for three hours! Zhang Xiaojia, as the commander, doesn't know the enemy's information, twenty times the gravity for six hours! In addition, Zhang Xiaojia, as the commander, will submit a 10,000-word tactical review."
After six hours of twenty times gravity, Zhang Xiaojia's eyes were filled with tears.
Abuse of underage insects
A ten thousand-word self-criticism. She went from a bug to a mimetic in just three months. According to the algorithm, she is still an illiterate bug.
Six hours later, Zhang Xiaojia crawled out of the gravity cabin like a salted fish, his shell almost cracked into pieces.
Luo Li gloated from the side: "Serves you right! Who told you to be the commander?"
Zhang Xiaojia rolled over weakly, his compound eyes glazed over. "...I was wrong. I will never be a commander again."
However, what she didn't see was...
Tang Han was standing in the monitoring room, replaying the last second of the battle scene, his tentacles curled up slightly.
This little bastard... This is the first time a commoner has commanded the royal family...
Maybe he can really become the top commander of the Zerg in the future.
Zhang Xiaojia was lying in the medical cabin. The students of Class S had booked the cabin. They had to lie down there every day. Fortunately, the medical cabin was powerful, otherwise they would all be bruised and battered every day.
The repair of her shell and medical cabin is too slow, and food supplements will be much faster.
Zhang Xiaojia came to the restaurant, and the Royal Restaurant of S-Class 7 was closed.
The only option is to go to the Noble Restaurant, whose blue crystal door glows at the end of the corridor.
"Verification passed, welcome to Class S7." The mechanical guard's scanning beam paused on her face for a moment.
The Noble Restaurant was much noisier than the Royal Restaurant. Students in dark blue uniforms gathered in groups of three or four around the Mycelium tables, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of various pheromones.
The nobles' high-end delicacies actually require authorization to be exchanged. At this time, she was a little grateful to Tang Han for allowing her to enter the royal class and enjoy unlimited food.
In fact, she didn't know that everyone in the school except her had to pay with credit coins, but the food of the royal family was the best.
"Lava honeydew?" He took a look and took five portions.
Three servings of "Lava Shabu-Shabu Star Beast Meat"
Two servings of "Quantum Storm Ice Cream"
No one took the "Dark Matter Pudding" but it was very popular in the Royal Restaurant, with basically one portion per person. She never had enough each time, so she took four portions.
Two servings of "Polar Mycelium Sashimi"
Zhang Xiaojia happily held the dark matter pudding in her hands. The first bite was so hot that it burned from her throat to her stomach, causing her to squint in pleasure. The carapace beneath her skin made subtle crackling sounds, and the cracks began to mend themselves.
She started eating with big mouthfuls.
The table was full of food. Zhang Xiaojia finished the last bite of the lava-shabu star beast meat.
The expressions of the nobles were wonderful. How many S was this commoner? These were energies. If one's own energy reserves were insufficient, he would burst!
However, Zhang Xiaojia just licked the corner of his mouth in satisfaction. The shell under his skin had completely healed and even had a faint metallic luster, and was harder than before.
She stretched, and her bones made a slight crackling sound, as if they were being recalibrated.
The nobles stared at her, their eyes changing from shock to fear.
"Is she...really just a civilian?"
"Class S7 is really full of monsters..."
"That dark matter pudding, I almost had an energy overload last time after only eating half a portion..."
Zhang Xiaojia turned a deaf ear to it and stuffed the remaining lava honeydew into the space compression bag, preparing to drink it secretly to replenish energy before training tomorrow.
She stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly noticed a sharp gaze.
At the restaurant door, Commander Tang Han was leaning against the door, his arms folded across his chest, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Have a good appetite?"
Zhang Xiaojia froze and subconsciously hid the bag of honeydew behind him.
Tang Han raised his eyebrows, walked over slowly, and tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers.
"Dark matter pudding, can you actually eat four servings?"
Zhang Xiaojia swallowed and quietly defended himself: "...The Royal Restaurant is closed today."
Tang Han chuckled, then suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear. His voice was so low that it sounded like a warning of some danger.
"If you secretly drink to replenish your energy during training tomorrow, I'll make you write a self-criticism in the gravity chamber while drinking."
Zhang Xiaojia: “…”
Tsk..., we've been discovered.
————
There was no way to conceal the handwriting. Zhang Xiaojia's handwriting was very beautiful with both hands. After writing the 10,000-word self-criticism, he handed it to Tang Han.
When Tang Han saw Zhang Xiaojia's handwriting, he really didn't expect that this little bastard had such good handwriting.
The century-long peace agreement between humans and Zerg was renewed for another century yesterday.
Originally, the bug cub would not start studying with humans until he was 18 years old.
However, humans requested to study together in advance. Starting next year, Class S7 will study with humans, but humans will use their insectoids as sparring partners.
When fighting against humans, human mechas are designed according to their weaknesses.
He needs to practice more, this little bastard is so lazy.
————
"Everyone, attention! Today's training subject: tactical maneuvers in a twenty-fold gravity environment! Zhang Xiaojia, double the effort!"
Tang Han's voice exploded over the training grounds, and the little bugs in Class S7 trembled their antennae in unison. After a week of special training, these usually arrogant royal larvae had been tortured to the point of fading, their shells covered in scratches from the training.
Zhang Xiaojia collapsed to the ground like a salted fish, wings drooping limply. "Commander... Article 23 of the 'Minor Zerg Protection Law' stipulates... daily training may not exceed eight hours... This week we've averaged twelve hours a day..."
"There's no off-duty time on the battlefield." Tang Han replied coldly, his six wings dangerously spreading behind him. "Everyone prepare, activate the gravity system—"
"Wait!" Zhang Xiaojia suddenly jumped up and looked at the other students with tears in her eyes. "Dear noble royals, are you willing to be abused like this?"
The green-armored young man Tang Li's tentacles twitched: "What else? He's a royal warrior and the emperor's younger brother, making him our uncle. Can we afford to offend him?"
"So what!" Zhang Xiaojia suddenly rushed over and hugged Luo Li's waist, burying her face in her gorgeous purple-gold shell. "Your Highness Luo Li! I am your bug, right? You have to protect me..."
Lori's carapace instantly turned an awkward pink-purple. "Let go! How disgraceful!"
Not only did Zhang Xiaojia not let go, he rubbed even harder: "Wow... I dreamed last night that I was reciting tactical regulations. I dreamed that I turned into a flying operation manual, and I was actually reciting it in forty times the gravity..."
When the other little bugs saw this, a glimmer of hope gradually appeared in their eyes.
Tang Li was the first to respond, rolling over on his back: "My carapace hurts! I need a medical pod!"
"Me too!" Tang Ying immediately followed suit, deliberately making her arm "click" to simulate a dislocation.
In the blink of an eye, all the little bugs in Class S7 started to act like spoiled brats.
Some of them clung to the pillars, some pretended to faint, and a few even began to use pheromones to release "aggrieved" emotions - this is the special pheromone used by Zerg cubs when they act coquettishly to their parents.
Tang Han's six wings froze in mid-air, his compound eyes wide open. This six-winged warrior who was invincible on the battlefield was now helpless in the face of a group of cheating little bugs.
"How disgraceful! Get up!" he roared, his tentacles trembling with anger.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojia immediately increased her attack. She let go of Luo Li and rushed towards Tang Han, hugging his legs tightly. "Commander, please have some mercy on us." She deliberately squeezed her voice into a babyish voice, "We are still baby bugs."
Tang Han froze in place as if struck by lightning. No insect had ever dared to offend him like this before him, let alone direct physical contact.
"Let go!"
"Not at all! Unless you agree to reduce your training!" Zhang Xiaojia pressed her face against Tang Han's leg armor, "Look, my wings are all wrinkled, like dried mushrooms..."
Seeing this trick was effective, the other bugs immediately followed suit. In a blink of an eye, Tang Han was surrounded by a group of spoiled and naughty royal larvae.
The training ground fell into an eerie silence. The surveillance cameras faithfully recorded the scene: the awe-inspiring commander was surrounded by a group of tiny insects using coquettish tactics, his six wings awkwardly folding and unfolding.
Finally, Tang Han took a deep breath and said, "...that's all for today's training."
"Yeah!" Zhang Xiaojia jumped up immediately, his wings instantly regaining vitality. "Then tomorrow..."
"Training will continue as usual tomorrow!" Tang Han gritted his teeth, but his tone was no longer as tough. "Now, everyone, disband!"
The little bugs cheered and scattered.
Everyone came to the restaurant and started fighting for the "dark matter pudding".
Zhang Xiaojia ran to the Noble Restaurant and saw that there was still more "Dark Matter Pudding" left, so he took four servings directly. There was no other way, as the Royal Restaurant only had 16 servings, one per person.
But eating the 'Dark Matter Pudding' would help the shell recover faster. If she hadn't taken a maximum of four servings, she would have packed them all.
When Zhang Xiaojia returned, Tang Ying saw it and asked, "Where did you get it, civilian?"
"Noble Restaurant"
Zhang Xiaojia stood in the middle of the restaurant, with her wings slightly spread out and a bright smile on her face.
"Dear royals and noble ladies, is it time to honor yesterday's bet?"
She raised her laptop, called up the payment code, and looked at the group of little bugs with a smile.
"As agreed, Commander Tang Han has agreed to a break. 50,000 credits per person, no cheating~"
Tang Li's tentacles twitched: "Are you sure you're not threatening him?"
Zhang Xiaojia tilted her head. "How can that be called a threat? This is called 'coquettish tactics', and it's the legal right of the Zerg cubs!"
Luo Li snorted coldly, but still reluctantly scanned the code to transfer the money: "Here, here, here, ordinary people are always petty."
Zhang Xiaojia watched his account balance rise rapidly, and happily pulled out fifteen bags of bright red snacks: "To thank you all for your generosity, I'll give each of you a bag of spicy noodles!"
"Latiao?" Tang Ying came over curiously. "What is it?"
Zhang Xiaojia tore open the package, and a strong spicy fragrance instantly spread out, stimulating the surrounding insects so much that their antennae all stood up.
"What...what is this smell?" Tang Li took a half step back, but couldn't help but sniff it.
"This is a favorite snack for human cubs!" Zhang Xiaojia broke off a small piece and handed it to Luo Li. "Want to try it?"
Luo Li hesitated for a moment, took a cautious bite, and the next second——
"Hiss—so spicy! But... so addictive!" Her shell instantly changed from noble purple-gold to excited orange-red.
Seeing this, the other little bugs immediately surrounded him and said, "I want one too!"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and held up the remaining spicy strips: "This pack is free, next time it will be 10,000 yuan a pack."
"Ten thousand?! Why don't you just go and rob it!" Tang Li's eyes widened.
Zhang Xiaojia shrugged: "Forget it, I'll eat it myself."
"Wait! I want it!" Tang Ying
As the little bugs were enjoying the delicious spicy noodles, Zhang Xiaojia suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Everyone, do you know what humans are developing recently?"
"What?" Tang Li asked warily.
Zhang Xiaojia pulled out a bottle of light green liquid from his space bag: "Zerg mood interferon."
The entire training ground fell silent in an instant, even Lori's tentacles froze.
"Mood disruptors..." Tang Ying said bitterly, "Isn't that a weapon that can disrupt our pheromones?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded. "Indeed, humanity intends to test an empathy system specifically targeting our Zerg during the next interstellar joint exercise."
Tang Li's carapace glowed a warning red: "How did you know?"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled mysteriously: "Didn't I go to the West District last time~"
"But don't worry!" She shook the green liquid in her hand. "I've developed an antidote that completely immunizes against the effects of mood disruptors!"
"Is this true?" Lori looked at her suspiciously.
Zhang Xiaojia opened the bottle cap without saying a word, and emotional interferon appeared, and Chong Chong was inevitably disturbed.
Zhang Xiaojia opened the antidote and a wisp of fresh grass fragrance wafted out. In an instant, all the little bugs felt refreshed and regained their clarity of mind.
"One bottle costs 100,000 credits, and comes with a free battle guide." She added with a smile, "After all, if humans interfere with pheromones on the battlefield, it will be a complete annihilation, right?"
Tang Li gritted his teeth: "You are taking advantage of the situation!"
Zhang Xiaojia spread his hands and said, "Then you can wait until you're pinned to the ground and rubbed against the humans during the drills before coming back to buy from me. But then... the price will be double."
"...Give me three bottles." Lori was the first to scan the code to pay.
Seeing this, the other little bugs followed suit: "I want one too!"
Zhang Xiaojia's account balance soared again. She put away her laptop with satisfaction: "Thank you for your patronage~"
Just as the little bugs were scrambling to buy the antidote, Commander Tang Han stood in the monitoring room, his compound eyes fixed on Zhang Xiaojia on the light screen.
"Commander, she is selling drugs that are not approved by the military. Should we stop her?" the adjutant asked in a low voice.
Tang Han's antennae trembled slightly: "No, observe first."
His gaze fell on the antidote in Zhang Xiaojia's hand, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
"Mood disruptors... Humans are definitely developing them," he muttered to himself. "Has she really developed a cure?"
The adjutant hesitated for a moment: "Should we investigate whether the antidote is effective?"
Tang Han shook his head: "Not for now."
He turned and left the monitoring room, a barely perceptible smile flashing across the edge of his elytra.
"This little bastard...maybe he's more useful than I thought." If his daughter hadn't been killed by the old bug, she would be this big now!
