Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

[What's wrong, host? Is it difficult?]

No, I just think you're using pretty fancy tricks.

"Huh?" The system didn't understand. "What flower?"

[Nothing much, how long is the time limit?]

Two days.

Two days...

It seems I need to give Elvis... no, Mitchell some serious reassurance soon.

He had a premonition that the second evolutionary period was getting closer and closer.

He's been feeling drowsy a lot these past two days, almost to the point where he gets sleepy every hour.

Jian Chi yawned.

As he expected, there were indeed many scenes involving Mitchell during this period.

Besides the initial scenario that was at least second in line for reassurance, he completed several more scenarios related to Mitchell.

Almost all of them involved close contact.

Now, more in-depth reassurance is needed.

He thought about it and concluded that this part of the plot should still serve as a control group in the original text.

By contrasting the original character's scumbag behavior with the protagonist's deep and devoted love for Carol, we can see how the original protagonist, Honey, is portrayed.

At this moment, the system also asked Jian Chi with considerable curiosity:

[Speaking of which, it seems that even though the host has been here for quite some time, they haven't really done much to soothe Elvis yet. Why is that?]

There's no particular reason.

It started because I didn't like it.

He has a psychological fastidiousness; he won't have too deep a relationship with people he doesn't like.

Later, although he was attracted to her, it was just attraction, not love.

[So, the host likes it now?]

The system asked this question for the third time.

The first time, his answer was that he didn't like it; the second time, his answer was that he didn't know.

The third time, Jian Chi's answer was: "Perhaps."

A simple moment of attraction or two is far from enough to qualify as liking someone.

But the constant flutter in my heart must mean... I like him, right?

Jian Chi was momentarily dazed.

He suddenly remembered some things from his past life.

During a blind date, a girl seemed to sense something was off about him and wanted to distance herself from him.

To prevent her from saying anything inappropriate to his parents, he approached the girl and sincerely begged her not to tell his parents.

The girl agreed, but there was one question she needed him to answer truthfully:

Do you know what liking someone means?

He paused for a moment, then repeated what he had said to the system back then.

The girl looked shocked.

He still remembers her saying:

"I'm sorry, I know this is offensive, but you have no idea what true love is. If we use this standard, anyone who actually meets your criteria is definitely not human..."

What it is if it's not human is self-evident.

After saying that, the girl seemed afraid that he would get angry, so she stood up and ran away in a panic.

I don't know what true love is...

Jian Chi snapped out of his daze and gave a slight smile.

maybe.

A monster like him, who doesn't even know how to be human, how could he possibly know what true love is?

He didn't know what liking someone meant.

All he knew was that...

If Elvis is deeply appeased now, he won't be offended and will be quite happy to do so.

Jian Chi thought for a moment.

Although there are two days, he could very well enter the second evolution phase at any time, so it's better to complete the scenario as soon as possible.

Lost in thought, he yawned and fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, he found that Elvis was also in the room, but he was looking at the smart bracelet with his back to him.

Ivis hadn't turned on the anti-spy mode on the smart bracelet, so Jian Chi saw it immediately.

Elvis stared blankly at Arnold's chat window.

There were no other messages from Arnold.

He was simply reporting the battle situation in the Purple Rose Galaxy to Elvis.

Although the number of ferocious beasts in the Purple Rose Galaxy has increased dramatically, it is still within the scope of what can be done.

But many insects still died, and for some reason, most of them died from mental energy surges on the battlefield.

For female soldiers, dying from a mental breakdown is actually a relatively good outcome.

Some female soldiers would rather die from a mental breakdown than grovel before males and eke out a living in order to survive.

However, this mental energy outburst was truly bizarre.

However, Arnorf was relatively optimistic, saying that once this wave of ferocious beasts was dealt with, the three armies would be able to catch their breath and there wouldn't be so many female soldiers dying from mental breakdowns.

But Jian Chi knew that even if this wave of ferocious beasts was dealt with, more would appear, endlessly, until the entire army was wiped out.

Elvis had awakened, and he naturally knew it.

[Huh? Why is Elvis so concerned about the situation with the three armies? Didn't he say that the three armies are a heavy burden on his shoulders?]

Jian Chi did not reply.

It is indeed a heavy burden.

But those expectations and burdens have lingered on Elvis for far too long.

So much so that they all became part of Avis's body, connected to his bones, flesh, and blood.

In those 99,999 reincarnations, the Mittel family and the three armies are the entire meaning of Avis's existence in this world.

How could he completely give it up?

Jian Chi withdrew his gaze, turned on the smart bracelet, connected it to Xiao La's panel, quickly entered a string of command codes on the panel, set a few things, and then turned it off.

"Mitchell," he said lazily.

Elvis snapped out of his daze, hurriedly shut down his smart bracelet, turned around, and saw that the male ruler had his eyes closed. He breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked over and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is there anything you need?"

Jian Chi hummed in agreement.

"Come on, let's do it." It was still that lazy tone, as if he were just saying how nice the weather was today.

Elvis hadn't reacted yet: "What are you doing?"

"Deep reassurance."
