D-level males reached the pinnacle of life by living off women.

Lu Yuan looked up at the sky, carefully recalled the events of buying the ring, and then shook his head.

"Nothing special about it. This silver crystal was just some stock the clerk took out of the warehouse. They showed me several, and I just happened to like this one, so I chose it. Rhine, why do you ask? Did something happen?"

Rhine told Lu Yuan about the spiritual energy emanating from the silver crystal.

After listening, an idea immediately popped into Lu Yuan's mind.

Could it be that his cheat code as a time traveler has finally arrived, and he's just picking up a bargain?

"Rhine, if that's the case, then I've unintentionally bought a treasure," Lu Yuan said, his tone brimming with barely suppressed excitement, his eyes sparkling.

"It's still uncertain. I don't know if all silver crystals have this function, or if it was just not developed before, or if this silver crystal has something special about it, or if the one on my ring isn't a silver crystal at all."

Rhine was earnestly explaining his analysis to Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan didn't listen to a word he said. All he could think about was that his golden finger had finally arrived.

So the reason I felt a connection to that silver crystal was because my cheat system was reminding me.

Silver crystals that emit spiritual energy and can repair cracks in the spiritual sea are great! Isn't this exactly what Rhine needs on the battlefield?

Since silver crystals are a specialty of Golan Star, once I return to Golan Star, I'll visit the trading market that specializes in selling silver crystals and see if I can take advantage of my liking to buy a few more of these treasures.

Then we'll use these silver crystals to make a complete set of jewelry for Rhine, from head to toe, to ensure her uninterrupted mental energy. That way, Rhine's safety on the battlefield will be guaranteed.

It might even boost its combat power to an extreme level, allowing it to slaughter those terrifying-looking Araqi insectoids like cutting melons and vegetables.

Imagining Rhine flying through the air like a god on the battlefield, while the Araqi insectoids prostrate themselves before Rhine on the ground, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

"My lord, my lord..."

Rhine called out to Lu Yuan helplessly on the other end of the phone, not knowing what her master was thinking. Suddenly, he fell into his own thoughts and stopped responding, revealing a smile that was hard to describe.

Rhine wanted to say a few more words to Lu Yuan, but then there was a knock on his door. It was a subordinate who had come to him with work to do.

"My lord, I have something to attend to here, so I'll hang up now and contact you later," Rhine said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to contact me."

Hearing that he was about to hang up, Lu Yuan finally snapped out of his fantasy world.

The phone call ended, and the Rhine projection in the room disappeared. A sense of loss rose in Lu Yuan's heart, but then he finally felt the piercing pain in his toes that he had previously ignored.

"Aww~"

Lu Yuan gasped in pain and quickly found a chair to sit down.

Just as he was about to sit down and rest, Lu Yuan recalled the scene of Rhine, who was like a god, in his fantasy. His heart burned with excitement again, and he forgot about the pain in his toes once more.

Lu Yuan rushed out of the room, ran to Brown's door and banged on it frantically, shouting as he did so.

"Brown, Brown, quickly check if the flight path is open. Let's hurry back to Golan Star."

He needs to hurry back to Golan Star to snag some bargains.

......

After finishing his work and waiting for his subordinates to leave the room, Rhein sat down in a chair, took out his communicator, and read through the messages Lu Yuan had sent him one by one.

He read very slowly, almost word by word, not wanting to miss even a single punctuation mark.

After he finally finished reading them, he printed out all the messages, sealed them up, and put them in a box on his bedside table.

The box was filled with all sorts of small gifts that Lu Yuan had given him, which he had collected.

For example, the flowers that Lu Yuan gave him were all dried and placed in a box; and the little notes that Lu Yuan wrote to him to beg for forgiveness when they had a fight were also folded and placed in this box.

During the days when he was separated from Lu Yuan by two planets, whenever he missed Lu Yuan, he would take out this box and look at the items inside one by one.

When they first separated, he even needed to put this box next to his pillow to fall asleep at night.

Now there's one more thing that can comfort him.

After putting the box away, Rhine reverted to his commander form and went back to handling military affairs.

Although he desperately wanted to see Lu Yuan immediately, Rhine knew that only by firmly securing his position as legion commander could he ensure that his and Lu Yuan's peaceful life would not be disturbed by other insects.

......

Rhein arrived at the laboratory at the 10th Army's base, where Feynman was conducting experiments.

Yes, Feynman, as a longtime friend of Rheinland and with his well-rounded abilities, was recruited by Rheinland from the military research institute to the Tenth Army.

On Feynman's experimental table lay the brain worm that Rhine had personally killed earlier.

"Any discoveries? Especially regarding that ability to stimulate the mental sea?" Rhine asked.

Feynman took his eyes off the microscope.

"Currently, this ability appears to be due to a newly grown organ on this brain worm," Feynman replied.

"Is this ability unique to this brain worm, or could all brain worms possess it?"

"It's too early to make a judgment, but since this ability comes from a newly grown organ, we can't rule out the possibility that other brain worms will also grow this organ and thus gain this ability."

Rhine's expression darkened; this was not good news.

"So I think that assassinating the cerebrates will become increasingly difficult in the future, which means that the battle against the Arachnids will become increasingly difficult."

After saying that, Feynman thought of Rhein's current physical condition and, as a friend of many years, he still offered advice.

"Rhine, your mental sea is not being soothed by the male insect's mental power, which means that your ability to resist this new ability of the brain insect will become weaker and weaker. I think the current Arach defense line is not suitable for you. You should think more about yourself."

"Thanks, Feynman, I'll think about it."

Knowing he couldn't persuade Rhein, Feynman could only sigh inwardly.

Feynman thought Rhein was being stubborn, but Rhein knew in his heart that his mental sea was in better condition than any of the female insects in the Empire. There was no insect more suitable than him to deal with the brain insect with this new ability.

But Rhine would never let a third insect know that Lu Yuan could provide him with mental comfort. The fewer insects who know secrets, the better. So he could only give Feynman such a vague answer.
