Chapter 176 You mean there are two more insects waiting for her to save?
Alright, alright. Since the palace has already been built, it's not appropriate to demolish it now.
You should know that demolishing it also costs money.
The stingy Shen Qingqing immediately halted the construction of the palace and ordered them to focus on building the underground city.
Although they don't understand it, the Zerg have always been responsive to the Queen's requests.
Therefore, after the palace was abruptly shut down, there was no dissatisfaction from the Zerg.
Calling a halt requires contacting the engineering team and reporting to superiors.
This leads to a result—
They wasted too much time on the road.
So much so that even the servants in the palace thought it was another false rumor spread by middlemen.
“I think we should just wait here to die. Maybe it’s another imitation pheromone made by that experimental madman Ge Yuan,” said a Zerg with reddish-brown hair.
He was sitting next to another Zerg, and it seemed that the two of them got along quite well.
While the other insect servants were scheming against each other, the two of them had time to sit by the window and chat.
“But an announcement has already been issued saying that the Queen Insect has arrived in the dungeon,” said the male insect with light purple eyes and hair.
The male insect with reddish-brown hair is called Krono, and it is one of the few servant insects with a bad temper.
The male insect with light purple hair who prefers tranquility is Mika, who worked with Klein for a period of time. Later, she was chosen by Cecilia to serve as the queen of the insect queen and fill her harem.
Mi Jia gently fanned himself with his fan. He usually liked to paint flowers and birds on his fan when he had nothing to do, to pass the time.
"Krono, our queen insect will come."
"Before we grow old and lose our beauty? Hmph, don't dream. We're all over three or four hundred years old, the youngest of us is almost three hundred. But has any of you ever seen this Queen Insect? Every day here I feel like I'm being torn apart and devoured by this irritability. I don't like it here at all."
Mi Jia remained calm and composed, fiddling with the asparagus fern on the windowsill. "That's not a nice thing to say. You're just feeling irritable because you haven't been comforted and are craving the insect queen's pheromones. That's all."
"Pshaw, who cares about her pheromones?"
Krono's crimson eyes were full of disdain. "Although that Go Yuan has the ability to mass-produce inhibitors for us, and this time the generic pheromone is not bad, hmm... it smells quite nice, but that doesn't mean anything, it can't even help us suppress our instincts."
“But you haven’t shown any signs of losing control of your emotions since this morning, have you?” Mi Jia fanned herself, a small figure appearing in her eyes. “We have guests at the palace.”
Following his gaze downwards, Chrono discovered that there were actually females here.
"What are the female insects doing here? We are the servants of the insect queen."
"Why don't we go down and take a look?" Mi Jia said, keeping everyone in suspense.
Although only half of the palace was built, the bottom seven floors had already been completed and the servants had moved in.
The increasing number of floors symbolizes the gradual rise in the status of the insect servants.
Only the most outstanding servant insects can live in the upper levels, spending their days with the insect mother.
Shen Qingqing originally thought they were going to climb the stairs, but the military doctor pressed a hidden compartment in the wall, and the elevator doors suddenly opened wide, almost blinding her again.
The place was opulent and extravagant, with even the floor tiles gleaming with the glittering gold of a nouveau riche, making Shen Qingqing's white dress appear even more simple... even a bit shabby.
The military doctor was exceptionally kind; he had long ago sold the information to the more than three thousand servant insects and put all the profits from the sale into the national treasury.
They have already received the electronic invoice from the Zerg Treasury.
"Mother Insect, this way please..." The military doctor's face was beaming with smiles, and he looked at Shen Qingqing with eager eyes, as if he had seen some script he shouldn't have.
"The servants are already prepared in the hall. Would you like to have them see you now, or after you have changed your clothes?"
"Now then." Shen Qingqing didn't want to waste time; she urgently needed to know why the Zerg were still raising servants even with their national treasury empty.
"To save time, let them all come at once."
"Together?" Upon hearing this, the military doctor blushed slightly.
"Are you... sure?"
"determine."
"Please wait!"
Completely unaware that there was anything wrong with what she was saying, Shen Qingqing began to study according to the tutorial "How to Become a Qualified Insect Queen" provided by Cecilia.
The first step to becoming a qualified worm mother:
Na Servants!
"Never mind, never mind," Shen Qingqing propped her head up, waved her hand in her mind, and indicated to Cecilia that this was not important. "How about we move on to the next one?"
"That's okay too."
Cecilia felt that given the Zerg's current poverty and weakness, it wasn't the right time to summon the Na'vi, so she initiated the next phase.
"Step Two: Mastering Public Speaking Skills and Psychology. You need to know that a qualified Zerg Queen needs more than just releasing pheromones to promote the Zerg's reproduction. We also need to give passionate speeches when necessary to boost morale."
……
A short while later, the military doctor, who was temporarily acting as the insect queen's steward, reappeared.
She reminded them, "Mother Insect, the servant insects have already arrived below the stage."
"I'll go right away."
When she arrived outside the door, she finally understood what it felt like for a wealthy woman in ancient times to throw an embroidered ball.
At a glance, the ground was densely packed with handsome male insects with broad shoulders and narrow waists; any one of them could easily charm countless insect girls.
Now, their eyes follow the girl on the stage; every time the girl moves, their eyes follow.
It's unclear what methods the military doctor used, or perhaps it was the upbringing the Zerg servants received, but the thousands of servants gathered together remained completely silent.
A microphone was handed to Shen Qingqing, and in an instant, only the soft breathing could be heard in the already quiet hall.
After gathering her emotions, Shen Qingqing decided to give out some perks first before starting her plan.
The fragrance of roses filled the air like earth soaked after rain, filling the once nearly dried-up riverbed. Thousands of insects, together, felt the intoxicating scent, which filled their restless hearts, filled their broken spiritual sea, and repaired their wounded mental realm.
Once the entire hall was filled with the scent of pheromones, ensuring that every corner was covered, the girl's clear and sweet voice, like a flower petal falling into a lake, rippled outwards.
"Hello, hello..." the girl said nervously.
These words were like a bomb dropped into the water, instantly igniting the quiet hall.
The insects stirred, and the air was filled with soft murmurs and pheromones of various scents.
All the scents intertwined, making the fragrance of roses even more delightful.
"Look at me, Queen Insect! I'm more handsome than the other servant insects!"
These words were like the fuse that detonated a bomb.
Immediately, a variety of voices rose and fell, each vying to introduce themselves.
"Queen Insect, don't look at him, look at me! I'm more considerate, gentle, understanding of insects, and I'm also better looking and richer than him!"
"Pah! You? Get lost! I'm clearly the most handsome one, okay!"
"Make way for me, all of you! The Insect Queen doesn't like you slutty, lowly insects. She'd definitely prefer a little wolf-dog like me!"
"You've even compared yourself to a dog, the Queen Insect definitely won't like you..."
