Reactions from all sides and today's throne
The app "Today's Throne" is widely known to the worm community. Not only did it receive a wave of advertising after the worm fight, but Her Majesty the Worm Queen herself endorsed it. Even before its official launch, pre-order downloads have already skyrocketed.
StarNet Corporation now only retains the engineers needed to maintain basic operations within its own industry, with the rest assigned to Seville. These engineers had never experienced such intense overtime, and even more so, they felt a sense of purpose. When they felt tired or sleepy, they'd just pull out a bottle of Echinopsin and continue working. Seville, fearing that this group of engineers might experience a reversion to their pheromones, deliberately moved the workstations further apart. They dispensed diluted sedatives daily, like air purifiers, without spending a dime.
Even though the development progress of the Throne is so alarming, netizens still curse StarNet Group on the forum every day:
[You said it would be online next week. If I don't see Her Majesty Alyssa at 0:01 next Monday, I will complain to you!]
Even if she went online at that time, Her Majesty Alyssa wouldn't live stream even when she was sleeping, right?
[A dream, what if? Hey, Her Majesty Alyssa, next to my pillow...]
[Administrator: User ID XXX has made inappropriate comments and is banned for three days.]
[Serves you right! If you dare to disrespect His Majesty, the Tiger Guards will come and rip out your mouthparts and crop!]
The Supreme King's livestream requires careful consideration. Fortunately, the Zerg's pheromone matching system means sexually suggestive individuals are extremely rare, but the Zerg Queen will tolerate no profanity. The text sent from the Palace of Saint Joseph contains a "G," and Sewell suspects Gabriel may have mobilized all of the internal affairs officers to co-author it. This covers everything from the permitted times, locations, and events for livestreams, to the topic of conversation, to the blocked words in the comments section...
Seville had to ask his father and elder brother to use the group's super-intelligent AI to help him quickly sort out the text.
It can be said that coding this application is the easiest thing in development.
Then there were UI design and art design. Suggestions piled up on the forums. Some said lilies surrounded by fluttering butterflies would best suit the Bug Queen's temperament; others suggested highlighting the contrast between strength and softness, with the Bug Queen guarded by beetles; and others suggested incorporating cicada chirping into the sound effects to emphasize the Bug Queen's melodies. Finally, Sewell made the bold decision to develop an interface for all races, allowing each race to find and download its own version.
Isabella's eyes widened: "Are you crazy? Do you know how much work this is?"
Currently, there are more than 1,000 species of intelligent Zerg in the universe. Do we have to ask them to make more than 1,000 versions of the application?
Sewell: "We can subcontract this workload. Listen to me, here's what we'll do..."
Therefore, the official account of StarNet Group launched a submission activity called "I Design for the Throne". Each race can design the UI and art with its own racial characteristics for the "Today's Throne" application and vote within the race. The one with the highest votes will be directly used by StarNet Group.
Insects:!!!
[This is fucking terrible! StarNet Group's app, which is launching next week, hasn't even been designed yet?! With so little time to submit, there's no way we're going to be able to refine the design!]
[Diezu is recruiting artists from all over the internet. The remuneration is generous. Interested parties please contact XXX.]
[The Bee Tribe is looking for borrowers from all over the internet...]
Isabella saw that the bugs in the All-Star Network were willing to be taken advantage of by her brother for free. She opened her mouth for a long time, and finally could only give Seville a thumbs-up with all four hands.
And more about the business and political struggles behind this app continues.
Barin Knox had never felt so welcome in his life. To achieve wealth within the Fifth Star Chain, to join a prestigious family, he had flattered those who hadn't been treated kindly with smiles and generous donations, and overnight, he had received a massive payoff. Countless heads of prestigious families he'd never dared to dream of contacted him, sending invitations and messages, all asking the same question: Were you still short of money and resources for the development of the Today's Throne app? Would you provide any? They'd also like to invest.
Upon learning that the application was fully managed by a subsidiary company established by the Knox family's eccentric, incompetent, human-looking youngest son, and that StarNet Group only provided technical support and held a partial stake, these family heads fell silent.
Who is Seville Knox?
They began to ask their children who went to school at Rugong Xingyuan, and began to look through the photos of the insect mother at school that were scattered on the star network. Sure enough, in the corners of those photos, they found a dwarf who looked very much like a human, with fantasy butterfly antennae.
He is in human form, and the Worm Queen is also in human form.
He is a short man, and the insect queen is even shorter than him.
The family heads gasped. Barin Knox, that damned old fox! He was such a master at political investment! He'd sent his most useless child to the Worm Mother so early! This deal was a sure win. If it had failed, it would have been just another wasted time for an unappreciated child. But now it had clearly succeeded. Look what a lucrative prospect he'd reaped for the family!
I wonder if it’s too late to send my own child to study with the Insect Mother?
Compared to the bustling and flourishing scene on the Bahrain side, the Alfonso side was obviously cold.
The Court of Resolution was completely unaware of the Bug Mother's proposal to replace the Guards, the First Legion, and the Third Legion, clearly no longer within the Bug Mother's inner circle of trust. The scene where the Chief of the Court of Resolution revealed his bug form at the Bug Fighting Conference and could not regain it was remembered by all the high-ranking families.
Although Alfonso later explained that he was old and unwell, and that the sound of the wasp's wings and the noise at the scene had caused him to lose his composure, they were not fools. What kind of insects were most affected by the insect mother's piano music at the insect fighting meeting?
They are all insects that have used the first honey and are almost deteriorating!
Apart from the military bugs in the duel arena, Alfonso was the only one in the entire audience stand who was affected and showed his bug form!
Considering that the Insect Mother had a clear attitude to ban the first honey, it is not surprising that the entire Resolution Court was ignored by the Insect Mother.
"Father..." George shouted in fear as he watched Alfonso sitting by the window, staring blankly at the stone-cold intelligent computer. The whole insect exuded a pungent and decadent pheromone.
After a long time, Alfonso suddenly laughed out loud.
"The Knox family...is that so?"
"Interesting... Really interesting."
"It doesn't matter... You won this round. But if you hastily recruit merchants with little political background to join your camp, be careful they become the weak link in your team."
"There has to be a weakness, there has to be a weakness. I'll find it. Don't rush... you can't rush. Assassin bugs hunt, but they're the best at lying dormant."
Luke Tren, commander of the Second Legion, was also laughing.
He watched the scene of the insect-shaped Alfonso being carried away by the Tiger Guards again and again, and regretted that he was not there to witness this fun with his own eyes.
Hehe. Just look at the Insect Fighting Conference's spectator stands. The First Legion's commander, Tiger Warlock, and the Guards' Captain, Ryan Warlock, are both there. And the Third Legion's new commander, Flora Gambi, is shining brightly in the duel arena.
At such a grand event, he was the only one among the four legions, and only the commander of the Second Legion, Luke Tren, was absent.
And why was he absent?
It was because that damn old man Alfonso withheld his application for military funding, forcing him to set up a sneak attack by humans, forcing him to push the front line forward and create the illusion that the war was tense and he was in confrontation with humans!
Then Alfonso took advantage of the tense situation between the Zerg and humans to discredit the humanoid Zerg Queen!
Luke hurled the ornaments on the table to the floor, including his computer. The computer bounced a few times, still stubbornly projecting Alfonso's ugly appearance onto the screen, making it even more ridiculous.
He was the one who was being ridiculous, Luke thought. He had believed Alfonso's lies and had been exploited by him, only for Alfonso to completely turn him against the Worm Queen.
Look at the Zerg Mother's public speech: the First Legion, the Guards, and the Third Legion rotated positions, and the Zerg Mother herself appeased any problematic Zergs, without mentioning the Second Legion. Luke could sense that his Zergs had been feeling aggrieved in recent days, but they dared not show it.
In the past, he couldn't understand why Alfonso, who had already sat in such a high position, would still go against the Insect Queen. But after seeing Alfonso reveal his insect form at the Insect Fighting Meeting, what else did he not understand?
Like Drake, Luke also has his own network of contacts. He had already discovered that Chu Mi came from high-ranking families within the five star chains.
It turned out to be you. Luke stepped on Alfonso's projection optical particles, as if crushing something disgusting.
What he hated most in his life was being treated as a fool.
By the way, the brigade commander who first discovered the mobile warship was attacked by humans was called Caspar Knox, right? Knox... Knox...
Luke smiled sinisterly and sat back down in the spacious chair. Next, he had to figure out how to extricate himself and, through the help of the upstart family surrounding the Worm Mother, present her with a great gift.
That great gift was related to the first honey that the Worm Mother wanted to ban, and to Alfonso. After the Worm Mother accepted his gift, she could now accommodate his second legion.

Finally, with the joint efforts of Seville, Isabella, many engineers, and countless enthusiastic Zergs, the "Today's Throne" application is about to be officially launched in public beta amidst everyone's anticipation!
Even Barin Knox came to Seville's office today. Seville and his team had already purchased and deployed six servers from StarNet Group for the Today's Throne application, in addition to the servers they had originally planned to purchase and put into use.
Today's Throne, this application occupies a total of eighteen groups of servers, which is quite impressive.
However, at 9 a.m. on Friday, the scheduled time for the first day of broadcast of Today's Throne, a large number of bugs were still squeezed out.
Angry netizens flocked to the Star Network forum and cursed:
[Starnet Group, what are you doing?! You're keeping me from seeing Her Majesty Alyssa. Do you want to die?]
[Upstairs, the Today's Throne app was developed by a company called Throne Glass, a subsidiary of StarNet Group. It's pretty powerful.]
[I don't care, I want to see Her Majesty Alyssa! The open beta is only on Friday and I've already used up all my patience! If I don't see Her Majesty again, I'm going to make a scene!]
All those who were lucky enough to squeeze in and see the show start have entered a dreamy and hazy state.
【ah……】
【Um……】
【oh……】
[Wow, wow, wow, Your Majesty is so beautiful! Your Majesty Alyssa! Ahhh!]
[This world is so beautiful. Your Majesty's beauty instantly expands my spiritual world!]
To protect Her Majesty Alyssa from the bizarre behavior of some extreme insects, the live broadcast abandoned the traditional holographic 5D projection mode used in communication and instead used a very retro 2D projection. Furthermore, insects were required to maintain a certain distance from the projection. If they came within two meters of the projection, the light particles would disperse into a mass of white lilies and tangled leaves. Upon leaving, the light would return to its original state.
The surrounding interface uses the UI and art designed by each race for Today's Throne. This makes Alyssa, who is moving in the center of the screen, look like she is moving in the middle of a custom painting frame customized by each race.
The scene at this moment was the insect mother with a rosy face, blue-gold eyes, and a puzzled look on her face as she faced the floating camera:
“Has it started yet?”
