Live broadcast daily
The first day of "Today's Throne" was a huge success, with its market share reaching a terrifying level. It's safe to say that any Zerg player without urgent matters or simply too busy to spare the time would give it a try to see what this app, which claims to offer a direct glimpse into the real lives of the Zerg's supreme rulers, is all about.
Considering the vastness of the Zerg star region and the complex time zones, it's impossible for everyone to follow the same schedule as the Saint Joseph Palace. The app also thoughtfully offers a live replay mode. Aside from the inability to post live comments, which makes the replay experience a bit less engaging, there's nothing wrong with it.
In addition, the app has exclusively authorized StarNet Group to open a fan forum sub-section on its forum. The fan forum is divided into five sections: insect mother information, live discussion, feedback and suggestions, creative work display, and popular science on ethnic culture and characteristics.
The first four are relatively easy to understand, and are purely fan-oriented and application feedback areas. The fifth area was suggested by Alyssa after she recently made a intensive study of the history and development of the Zerg.
In remote star regions, many planets are inhabited by only one or a few Zerg species. For example, there are ant planets, wasp planets, moth planets, firefly planets, and so on. Unable to adapt to their environment, they instinctively choose the one that best suits them, and then reproduce day after day, becoming the dominant species on the planet. Most of them never leave their home planets, and have never come into contact with other Zerg species in real life.
When Alyssa was in human society, her unusual eye color led her to be mistaken for a mixed-race person, and she endured both overt and covert bullying from those who treated her with such harshness. They shunned her from their small group, saying things like, "Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts." Simply because of a different eye color, they weren't considered a member of the same race. These insects from different planets and races, while they could consider intelligent insects their own kind, would likely find it difficult to consider other races as comrades.
Only by deepening mutual understanding and strengthening communication can the Zerg become more united.
When Alyssa made this suggestion, Gabriel looked at her for a long time and smiled with great satisfaction: "Your Highness Alyssa, you have truly grown into an excellent leader."
"The courses required of high-ranking families include the culture, history, taboos, and preferences of other races and even other families. This helps them quickly identify friends or rivals."
"The higher-ranking families within the five star chains are almost all mixed. The reason Lugong Star Academy has become the most outstanding Zerg academy is that it encompasses almost all races. A single race's concentration easily leads to overconsumption of a single resource, and the variety of goods produced is also very limited. This is why the gap between the higher-ranking families and the middle and lower-ranking Zerg families is widening. This is an invisible monopoly on knowledge and information. I am glad that you recognize this and have the ability to change it. The work that your mother, Her Majesty Amelia, failed to accomplish may truly be completed in your hands."
Alyssa: "It sounds like I've made another suggestion that the higher families won't like very much?"
Gabriel winked at Alyssa. "These are all posts by your enthusiastic fans telling the Worm Queen about their own race and culture. What does this have to do with you?"
Alyssa and Gabriel smiled at each other. She felt that Mammy had become somewhat treacherous.
Mammy has really become cunning!
Alyssa stared at the huge table of food in front of her in amazement. It was not the amount she could finish.
At the farewell banquet at noon, because there were many insects participating, she ate less and was not so conspicuous. She secretly left the nutritious but bitter fruits on the plate.
But Tiger Guard and Flora had already left that night, and she was the only one eating dinner. Alyssa was dumbfounded.
There were four cameras floating in front of her, two facing the plate and two facing her.
Alyssa looked up at Miranda. Miranda, who often gave her less food out of pity, looked helpless.
Alyssa looked at Gabriel again, her eyes misty, trying to beg for mercy: "Ma, Gabriel..."
Gabriel remained unmoved. Instead, he opened his intelligent brain and watched the comments from the live broadcast on the throne today. "Your Highness, please see, the people are quite enthusiastic about the footage of you having dinner. Let me read a few of them to you."
[Wow! Her Majesty the Insect Queen is eating live! Dinner tastes even better when I eat with Her Majesty!]
"Your Majesty, is this all you're eating? My cubs can eat more than three times what Your Majesty eats at dinner."
What's going on at the Palace of Saint Joseph? Are they unwilling to let His Majesty have enough to eat?
[Your Majesty must set an example for the cubs! ]
Alyssa: “…”
"The head chef in charge of tonight's dinner is also watching your live stream." Gabriel swiped his smart brain. "He sent me a message. He asked if you were dissatisfied with tonight's dishes. You looked like you had no appetite, and he was very disappointed. He also said that he noticed you had left a lot of food at lunch. Maybe you didn't like the taste of his cooking?"
Alyssa: “…”
Holding on to the last bit of hope, she looked at the camera for help, hoping that Seville on the other end could see it.
The eyes of this newborn fawn were so cute that every person watching the live broadcast was so adorable that the split screen of bullet comments that was just lively seemed to be stuck for a few seconds, and there was nothing on the screen.
Sewell instructed the director: "...cut to the food on Her Majesty Alyssa's plate."
The director was puzzled. "Didn't you say there's a real-time barrage index or something? If the barrage drops sharply during the same period, it means that the scene has attracted everyone's attention, so much so that there's no time to post barrages. At this point, do we have to freeze the scene and give all kinds of close-ups?"
Yes, but he couldn't bear to see Her Majesty Alyssa's expression like this for all the bugs in the universe to see. Seville ruthlessly cut the scene, and the commentary immediately cursed the director who cut the scene like a dog:
Are you sick? The helpless Her Majesty Alyssa is looking at me for help. What do you mean by cutting the scene now?
[Who wants to see honey pudding? Cut it back! Her Majesty Alyssa is much more delicious than pudding!]
[Administrator: User XXX violated the rules and is banned for three days.]
[Ahhhhh I want to see Your Majesty, my lovely Your Majesty. If you don’t let me see Your Majesty, I’m going to make a scene!]
[Hurry up and cut it back! I can eat two more kilograms of food just by looking at your Majesty's face!]
[Throne Glass Company, if you have trouble with money, you can donate it to me.]
Isabella also called Seville: "The complaint hotline is about to be blown away! Everyone wants a close-up of Her Majesty Alyssa!"
Seville: “…”
I really can't help you, my dear Queen Eliza.
George Rooney was also watching the live broadcast of the Worm Queen.
His home was too lonely. He had a strict and busy father, a daughter who didn't know where to go to school, and a wife who was angry with him and her father because she had lost contact with her daughter and had packed her bags to return to her family.
In the large room, at the long square table, he was the only one sitting there. Ever since he witnessed his father hunting his own kind last time, his appetite had been poor.
This is necessary... Father needs to return to his mimic form to stabilize the situation. Those two bugs are just stray bugs from a remote planet, no one will remember them. It might be a good thing for them to end this life under the shadow of their alien species and return to the embrace of their original bug mother.
George projected the Worm Mother's shadow onto the seat across from him at the table. At least he had Her Majesty the Worm Mother, livestreaming, to accompany him during his meal. At least he could eat a bit more than Her Majesty the Worm Mother. Seeing the laughter and joking in the comments, saying Her Majesty the Worm Mother's picky expression was adorable, George felt his appetite improve a bit.
With a "click", the door of the restaurant opened, and George almost reflexively put the intelligent computer on the dining table.
His father, Alfonso, walked in with a stern face.
Strands of shifting light particles leaked out from the edge of George's loosely secured brain. Alfonso glanced at it and asked, "Are you watching the Worm Queen's live stream?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide the secret from his father, George obediently turned the intelligent computer over again. On the screen, the insect mother was holding a plate with a bitter face, indicating that she had finished eating, and received great praise from the housekeeping officer beside her.
Alfonso sneered: "Little showman..."
George lowered his head and remained silent. He felt his father was wrong. Perhaps the Worm Mother was a bit of a showman in some things, but eating, a daily necessity to meet basic needs, was unnecessary.
But George was used to not arguing.
Alfonso knew what his son was thinking even with his eyes closed: "Did you really believe her words and think that this app was her way of getting closer to the people and appeasing them? This is just a tool for her political propaganda!"
"Look at her, she easily bought off the Knox family behind StarNet Group. She thinks she's grown so strong that she can bypass established families like us, support upstarts, and cultivate her own power. Ha!" Alfonso sneered, "If her mother couldn't do it, I want to see if she can do it!"
Alfonso turned to his son and said sternly, "Don't pay any attention to her deceptive words. You are my son. The glory of the Lurni family will be passed down in your hands, in Fico's hands. Remember my words."
"Okay, Father." George couldn't help but explain a few more words, "The way she ate reminded me of Fike when she was little, so I couldn't help but watch her for a while longer. Father, where is Fike..."
"Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about!" Alfonso was about to scold George again, but he heard a "clang" sound from the intelligent computer.
It turned out that the insect mother had finished her meal and started playing the piano to help digest her food.
Alyssa will never forget that her original intention of starting the live broadcast was to soothe the Zerg with the sound of the piano. After eating a lot of meals that were good for her health, Alyssa had a lot of energy but nowhere to use it, so she turned it all into mental power and used it on the strings.
Alfonso's face turned pale and he yelled, "Turn it off—turn it off quickly—!"
George frantically turned off the live stream amid his father's shrill screams. Alfonso now has PTSD from the sound; whenever it rings, he feels as if his spiritual world is crumbling.
George looked at his father, who was so tired and out of breath after listening to only two piano notes and looked very old, and waves of fear came over him.
Her Majesty the Insect Queen had mentioned in a public speech that her harp music had a certain purifying effect on insects that had consumed primordial honey. They had witnessed it firsthand at the insect fighting meeting, and George had experienced it himself.
My father reacted so strongly. To what extent has he been affected by Chu Mi?
Alfonso finally calmed down. He stood up straight and, like a magician, pulled out a bottle of blood-red honey from his clothes and handed it to George.
"Drink it."
George: "...Father, I am now very calm and do not need to use the first honey to comfort me."
Alfonso approached. He was slightly shorter than George, and his face was close to George's from below. "Are you scared? Didn't I tell you that everything the insect mother said was a lie? She was deceiving all the insects. It was because Chu Mi shook her dominance that she made up these clumsy lies. Do you believe her? Or do you believe me?"
"You've used the first honey, haven't you? How did you feel then?"
George's head tilted back unconsciously: "...It feels...very sweet. And then, after using it, my restless heart did calm down."
"That's right, my good boy. You've used it, so what's there to doubt? Now, drink it."
Alfonso pulled out the cork, and perhaps because he had just heard the sound of the insect mother's piano, George actually smelled a familiar scent from the red virgin honey.
