Chapter 40 Angel Male Insect
Mikel watched as the male insect used a crude and simple method to prove the authenticity of his flower seedling, only to be insulted in the end. He was initially insulted for questioning the seedling's authenticity, but was still insulted after proving it was real. He was utterly amused and exasperated by the audience's bizarre thought processes.
The male insect's method worked very well. Anyone in the live stream who wasn't blind could clearly see that the seedling was indeed a real natural plant, and the comments section exploded with excitement.
【No way!? This is real?!】
【Stop! No!】
[It's actually a real natural plant! The streamer is wasting such a valuable resource!!]
[I believe it! I believe it! Please, streamer, don't be so cruel!]
【Ahhh!! It's not our fault, the streamer pulled it out himself. The streamer is such a big bug, yet he can't even speak Zerg clearly, that's why we misunderstood.】
[@Imperial Botanical Research Institute Ahhh!! Come quick, insects have sprouted natural plants in the soil! It'll be too late if you don't come now!]
[Who exactly is questioning the streamer? Are they crazy?! Otherwise, the streamer wouldn't have uprooted such a precious natural plant.]
[Is the streamer out of their mind? They can't even speak clearly. Natural plants are so precious, and they pulled them up just to prove the seedlings were real. That's outrageous!]
[@Imperial Botanical Research Institute, come quick! We have the natural plants you've been wanting most!!]
Some people are just sentimental about other people's things, even if those things have nothing to do with them. The comments section was in an uproar, a complete mess.
These viewers can be roughly divided into two categories: one is those who feel sorry for the uprooted seedlings and criticize Cheng Chu for cruelly destroying the flowers and wasting resources; the other is those viewers who started to question whether Cheng Chu was a liar, which forced Cheng Chu to uproot the seedlings to prove himself.
However, Cheng Chu was unaware of all this. Mikel stared at the now-closed live stream, his face grim. He kept his eyes fixed on the screen, making no further move for a long time.
Although the male insect is very tall and appears imposing, he is still young and not yet mature. He is timid, mild-tempered, and never loses his temper. However, there is always an inappropriate sense of inferiority about him; he dares not express his thoughts or object to the arrangements of other insects. Even when faced with food he doesn't like, he silently endures it without daring to speak up.
Mikel had always felt that most male insects in modern society were of poor character; they were selfish, cruel, arrogant, and bloodthirsty, labels that were inextricably linked to them. But Mikel couldn't see a single trace of these awful traits in the male insect at home.
Compared to those disgusting male insects, Mikel felt that the male insect in her house was practically an angel.
"Knock knock knock".
A knock on the door interrupted Mikel's thoughts, and Elijah appeared in the doorway holding a lunch.
"General, it's lunchtime. I've come to bring you your meal."
Mikel snapped out of his daze: "Yeah, put it down..."
He checked his personal terminal; it was indeed lunchtime. He wondered if the male insect was hungry at home, but then realized he was overthinking it. He clearly saw the male insect drink a vial of nutrient solution that morning, and the satiating effect of the solution lasted for eight hours. How could it be hungry so quickly?
He also thought that the male insect was timid and couldn't speak clearly. He was scolded during his first live broadcast. He wondered if he would be secretly sad under the covers, or even secretly cry.
The thought of that scene was too heartbreaking, and Mikel couldn't sit still any longer. His mind was filled with the image of the male insect hugging the blanket, sobbing and with teary eyes.
All of the dozen or so messages on the computer were official business; not a single one was from home, not even from 0123.
"General, please enjoy your meal." Elijah placed the food on the table in the right corner of the office, which was used for receiving guests.
Mikel suddenly asked, "Elijah, what are my plans for this afternoon?"
Elijah instinctively straightened up, thought for a moment, and said, "Reporting to the General, you have two meetings this afternoon. From 2:00 to 3:10, you will attend the military meeting, and from 3:30 to 4:10, you will attend the legion meeting. After the legion meeting, you will go to the medical room for a full physical examination and a mental test, which will last about forty minutes."
Mikel took a fifteen-day vacation, during which he had a lot of official business to attend to. The mornings were busy, and the afternoons were also fully scheduled.
After Elijah finished speaking, Mikel tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, thinking that the meeting wasn't important, or whether the medical checkup could be moved to tomorrow.
Mikel hesitated before speaking, "Elijah, you can attend the legion meeting in my place. Could you perhaps reschedule the medical examination for tomorrow?"
He really wanted to fly back right now, but that was obviously not feasible. So he had to settle for second best and skip work to go home as soon as possible.
Elijah's eyes widened: "General, this...this won't do. This legion meeting is very important. And the Marshal will also be present when the mental sea detection is completed. The time has already been announced, and it can't be changed."
Elijah looked troubled, feeling that the general was making things difficult for him. The general had changed; the previous general had never asked to change the schedule, and had always done whatever they arranged without saying a word.
"Beep beep beep."
Mikel's personal computer popped up two new messages, sent by the male insects in his home.
Clicking on it leads to a photo of a plate of neatly sliced and arranged fruit.
The following is a voice message.
Tap the voice message bar, and the male insect's clear voice rings out: "Female, I'm eating fruit. Have you had lunch?"
The male insect's voice was as steady as usual, with a hint of excitement mixed in, but Mikel didn't detect anything else unusual.
"Beep beep beep".
The male insect sent another voice message.
"Female Queen, have I bothered you? 0123, teach me how to send messages."
The male insect spoke cautiously, as if afraid of disturbing him, and the last sentence sounded like he was asking for praise.
Mikel breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling of irritation in his heart dissipated.
He said in a gentle voice, "My lord, I'm not disturbing you. It's lunchtime, and I'm having lunch. You're so clever, my lord, you've even learned to send photos and voice messages."
Mikel got up, took a picture of his lunch, and sent it to the other person.
He said to Elijah, “Elijah, the afternoon's arrangements remain unchanged. You may leave.”
The news about the male insect brought Mikel to his senses, and he realized that what he had just done was very inappropriate.
Elijah: "!!!!"
Is this a hallucination?!
Elijah simply couldn't believe that their general would behave like this before a mighty lord!
"Yes, General."
After leaving the office in a daze that morning, Elijah left the office in a state of shock and disorientation this time.
Before leaving, Elijah thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
