The male insect adores it! The female general, envious, begs for a kiss.

Gu Heng ordered a bag of vegetable seeds from Xingwang Shopping Center.

During his time living here, he learned that there are no vegetables for sale in interplanetary space.

This gave Gu Heng a business opportunity.

There are no vegetables, but there are seeds!

Just like having a chicken means you'll have eggs, right?

The seeds were cheap; a packet of seeds only cost him 20 star coins.

These are said to be remnants from ancient Earth, but no insect species have yet successfully been created.

Gu Heng was very grateful at this moment, thankfully no insects had yet discovered a way to plant seeds.

If he could grow vegetables, they would definitely sell like hotcakes!

Make a fortune!

After thinking about it, Gu Heng's confidence increased significantly.

He had considered going out to work or something before.

But he searched the entire street and couldn't find a single shop that recruited male insects!

Gu Heng felt depressed at the time.

Are male insects really that precious?

Where did they get the money?

When each shop saw that the applicant was a male insect, they were all filled with trepidation, thinking it was a prank by Gu Heng.

It wasn't until Gu Heng learned about it from a female insect shop assistant that he understood.

Male insects do not go out to work; if they don't have enough money, they will marry female insects.

After marriage, the female insect will hand over all her property to the male insect.

Therefore, male insects don't need to worry about not having enough money.

If that's not enough, just marry another female insect.

This social norm among the Zerg completely baffled Gu Henglei.

I immediately rejected it a thousand times in my heart.

He doesn't want to marry so many wives.

Gu Heng was worried that his kidneys wouldn't be strong enough.

"Hermes?"

When Gu Heng saw him start cleaning again, he suddenly called out his name on a whim.

The female insect stopped what she was doing and silently looked at Gu Heng.

A single insect was clearly reflected in its gilded eyes.

When they met eyes, Gu Heng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if he were bullying Hermione.

Gu Heng spoke, his words carrying a distinct air of trying to cover up the truth.

"Ahem, actually what I was trying to say was... when I have money in the future, I'll buy a robot bug to do housework, so I won't have to bother you anymore."

After listening to the male insect's words, Heemis pursed her lips, "...My lord, I don't find it troublesome."

He felt something was off.

Is the male insect making a reassurance to him?

Heemis's eyes flickered as she probed, "If I hadn't injured an A-rank lord, the Lord would have more money than he could ever spend..."

When he was a general, he accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, enough for male insects to squander.

After Heemis finished speaking, she stared intently at Gu Heng, not missing a single expression on his face.

Will he reveal his true colors?

Greed, or questioning...

"Ah," Gu Heng was stunned for a moment.

Unlimited money?

Was Heami this rich before?

Gu Heng felt deeply inferior.

What should I do?

The kind of wife who's even more capable than you?

"It's okay if I don't have money now. Leave the money-making to me in the future." Gu Heng comforted himself, thinking that he could also make a lot of money!

Hemira watched as Gu Heng's expression shifted from confusion to stiffness, and finally, he smiled again.

None of the ones he had imagined were found.

Heemis lowered her eyelashes, concealing the complex and turbulent emotions surging within her eyes.

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he felt regret or relief.

Without giving him much time to process the question, Gu Heng hesitated before asking the question he had been concerned about.

"I saw on the StarNet that you severely injured a male insect. Is that really true?"

"Yes."

Heemis stared intently at Gu Heng, making no attempt to hide her gaze.

"But it's because he wanted to cut off the wings of my men."

Gu Heng was shocked by his last sentence and looked up sharply. "So you injured that male insect..."

Heamis did not deny it.

Because that's the truth.

He still vividly remembers how that wretched male insect went from being arrogant and disdainful of other insects to finally lying on the ground begging for mercy in agony.

Very ironic.

But Heemis was undoubtedly delighted.

Why should male insects be allowed to humiliate female insects at will, even removing their wing capsules and rendering them unable to fly forever?

As a female soldier, how can she go to the battlefield to kill the enemy without wings?!

This is a devastating blow to every female insect.

If Heemis had to go through something like that, he would rather die on the battlefield!

"I will not hurt your wings."

"Because I know this is your weapon to protect yourself."

He said he knew.

Hermes's gaze grew increasingly complicated. She asked herself honestly, and realized that almost no male insect would be willing to make such a promise to a female.

Gu Heng's eyes were still as clear as ever, as if that gaze had never changed from the beginning.

Heamis's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

This male insect really seems different.

Something is quietly breaking down between the two insects.

Gu Heng's thoughts jumped around. He didn't forget what he was planning to do, so he moved closer to Heamis, ready to ask the local insect for confirmation.

"Heamis, were vegetables really never grown from insects before?"

"Vegetables are crops from ancient Earth, and there are no written records of them. The Empire has also invested a lot of money in trying to cultivate vegetables, but all of them have failed... To this day, no insect has been able to overcome this problem."

Hemira, observing Gu Heng's expression, assumed the male insect wanted to eat vegetables.

He hesitated before continuing, "Perhaps the male ruler could also try the nutrient solution that tastes like grass."

After saying that, Heemis regretted it, because no male insect would be willing to drink the nutrient solution.

He subconsciously thought this, clearly forgetting that he had just said that perhaps the male insect in front of him was different.

Gu Heng was surprised that the nutrient solution had a grassy flavor, which suddenly reminded him of the grass cake that Lazy Sheep ate.

He suddenly laughed out loud, and seeing Heamis's puzzled look, he said, half-jokingly, "Perhaps we can all eat vegetables from now on."

Heemis hadn't expected the male insect to be so obsessed.

But they still didn't say anything to discourage the male insects.

Interstellar delivery was fast, and Gu Heng received the seeds he had ordered online not long after.

He loosened a patch of soil in the backyard, then planted the soaked seeds and watered them appropriately.

Even after doing all this, Gu Heng wasn't entirely confident.

His grandfather's generation were farmers, and he had watched them grow vegetables when he was a child, so he knew the basic steps.

However, Gu Heng had no practical experience with this, and he didn't know whether the interstellar environment was suitable for seed growth, so he wasn't confident that he could successfully grow them.

Gu Heng's frequent comings and goings in the backyard naturally caught Hermione's attention.

He didn't know why the male insect suddenly wanted to grow vegetables.

But there is no doubt that it will fail.

The two insects tacitly agreed,

No insect asked, and no insect spoke.
