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

Another month passed, and on a sunny day, a piece of news shocked the entire Zerg Empire: research showed that silver crystals could store and release the mental energy of male Zerg, and could be used to soothe the mental energy of female Zerg.

On this day, an article entitled "On the Application of Silver Crystal in Mental Power" was suddenly published in the Empire's authoritative journal. The article elaborated on the role of silver crystal in storing and releasing mental power.

The paper was met with a chorus of doubts and denials within the empire.

When rumors first circulated that silver crystals were beneficial to the spiritual sea of ​​female insects, all institutions throughout the empire thoroughly researched them. Later, even the Imperial Academy of Sciences got involved, but they still couldn't figure it out.

How could such a significant research result suddenly emerge now, without any prior warning?

Some researchers questioned the journal's standards, wondering if the journal had been paid to publish such a paper, saying it was shameless.

A large number of researchers are eager to read the paper carefully from beginning to end, pick out all the problematic parts, and give the journal a good slap in the face.

The journal remained unmoved by the researchers' questions.

The researchers who were working on the research papers became increasingly serious as they studied.

They found that the paper's logic was actually very rigorous, and the data listed in the paper seemed to be without any problems.

Researchers conducted experiments using the methods described in the paper and found that the results were consistent with those described in the paper.

This caused a huge stir.

A large number of researchers have devoted themselves to the study of silver crystal, hoping to find out the principle behind its function and to develop more other functions of silver crystal.

At the same time, the price of silver crystals skyrocketed, and it was rising every day, with a different price every day.

Many ordinary insects began to snap up silver crystals, while the merchants who had been having big sales on silver crystals carefully put them away.

Meanwhile, the powerful insects began acquiring silver crystal mines on various planets.

The silver crystal mine on Golan Star was naturally also targeted, but after learning that the insects behind it were Rhine, the insects that were targeting it retreated on their own.

……

Inside a small villa on the planet Erak.

In the living room, Morey was explaining the precautions to his female, who was about to go to military school, while Morey's male master, a middle-aged male, sat on the sofa watching TV.

The television was broadcasting news about how Silver Crystal was becoming incredibly popular throughout the empire.

The male insect looked at the news, his face filled with deep displeasure, and he said resentfully.

"What a huge loss! We sold that silver crystal mine too early. If we had kept it until now, who knows how many times more it would have been worth."

Morey paused, but he didn't speak.

Morey's female looked at him with worried eyes. Morey smiled, patted her head, and gave her a reassuring look.

Ever since the news about the silver crystal came out, Xiong Zhu has been complaining a lot. At first, his complaints were even harsher, but today was a bit better.

But that was all he could complain about. Morey knew that no matter how much his lord did, he wouldn't do anything. After all, he had been forced to sell the silver crystal mine by his lord.

He originally had no intention of selling the silver crystal mine. Although the mine had been losing money, he thought that since it had been losing money for so long, and his family could still manage, he might as well hold on a little longer and see if there would be a turnaround.

Although his lord had always disliked the money-losing mine and wanted to sell it, he didn't say anything after being repeatedly persuaded by him.

But one day, his master, whoever instigated him, actually partnered with a friend to invest in a project that was supposedly guaranteed to make money.

His master was never cut out for business. He was easily fooled by his friend and signed an agreement in a daze, which required his master to come up with 30 million star coins within a specified time.

At the time, their family simply couldn't come up with that much cash, but according to the agreement, if they couldn't come up with it, they would have to use their family's assets, such as their house, as collateral.

His master panicked and told him to quickly sell the money-losing mine and raise 30 million star coins.

He originally wanted to wait a little longer and see if there were any other options.

But his husband disagreed and threatened to divorce him if he didn't agree to sell the mine.

With no other option, he had to sell the mine. Fortunately, he found a decent buyer who paid the money readily, allowing his family to weather the crisis.

After that, the project that was supposedly guaranteed to make money didn't actually make any money. He was only able to get all his principal back because he couldn't resist getting involved later.

Silver crystals suddenly became highly sought-after. If that silver crystal mine hadn't sold them, their family would probably have made a lot of money by now.

Although he sold the mine, it was ultimately the result of the powerful ruler's coercion. So now, although the powerful ruler is angry that the money he was about to get has flown away, he can't blame anyone.

Sure enough, after complaining a few times, the male insect went upstairs to its room to sleep, preferring to stay out of sight.

After the male insect left, Morey let the female insect go back inside to pack her luggage for the military academy. Then he poured himself a cup of tea, sat by the window, and stared blankly at the sky.

To be honest, he was a little upset about the soaring price of silver crystals and the fact that the mine had sold at a loss.

However, he is getting older and can take things in stride. In that situation, it was already quite good that he was able to find a buyer who paid readily without haggling, successfully weathering the family crisis and ensuring that their lives were not affected.

You can't have it both ways. How can you possibly have 3,000 star coins to solve the crisis and also save the mine?

He now understands that the buyer must have received some inside information to make the purchase of the mining farm at that time.

But there's nothing to be jealous of. Being able to get the news in advance is their skill, isn't it?

Just then, Morey's communicator suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a friend he had met on Golan Star inviting him to meet and discuss something.

This friend, like him, had once bought a silver crystal mine on Golan Star.

Morey didn't think much of the invitation and readily agreed.

But when Morey arrived at the agreed-upon private room on the day of the appointment, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Inside the private room, there was not only his friend, but also eight other female insects.

Morey recognized these eight female insects; they were all small business owners like him, having bought one or more silver crystal mines on Golan Star and then sold them to the same buyer.

The expressions on the faces of the eight female insects were not good, and Morey had a bad feeling.
