[Zerg] After being reborn as a male Zergling, he refused to be a kept man.

As soon as Xiuer received Fei's communication, he happily led the insect to the lawn where the aircraft was parked to wait.

Before Fei could even disembark, he rushed to the half-open hatch, gave a perfectly crisp military salute, and said with barely concealed delight, "Major General! Good morning!"

His subordinates followed closely behind: "Major General! Good morning!"

"Good morning," Fei returned the greeting, then glanced at Xiuer, who was like an insect, and asked, "Where's Hoss?"

Like Shul, Hoss was one of Fei's trusted generals. They were always by Fei's side. Now that Fei had returned to the military headquarters, there was no reason for Hoss not to be there.

Xiu'er's smile froze, and he lowered his brows slightly, saying, "He got married, just three days ago."

Fei was surprised, then felt happy for his subordinate: "Really? It's a pity I can't congratulate him in person. Do you even know what kind of worm he is?"

Although Hoss is a female soldier, she comes from a good family, so she must have married a good insect.

"He was a nobleman," Shul said, his head bowed, his voice muffled. "I married him and made him my queen."

Fei smiled and said sincerely, "Then he is truly lucky."

As the two insects talked, they arrived at the military headquarters gate. Xiu Er took a step back, raised his head, and followed behind Fei. Fei also put away his gentle expression and reached out to touch the biometric identification on the door.

[Recognition successful.]

A cold, mechanical voice echoed in the empty space above:

[Good morning, Major General Fei.]

"morning."

Fei's appearance caused a minor sensation, as many insects clearly believed that he could not return to his post in the military, at least not so soon.

"It's unbelievable that Major General Fei's superior would allow him to return to work."

"These days there are rumors that Major General Tu Nan will replace Major General Fei and be promoted to lieutenant general, but it seems unlikely."

"I heard that Major General Tu Nan's father-in-law just treated those people from the military to dinner yesterday, and I didn't expect Major General Fei to come back today. This is going to be quite a show."

Fei returned to his office amidst the whispers of the insects. After settling down, he looked at Xiuer, who had been itching to speak, and pointed to the chair: "Go ahead and say it."

"After you got married, many insects thought you wouldn't come back, and Major General Tunan and his female father thought so too, they..."

Fei frowned: "Get to the point."

Shul scratched his head and reorganized his thoughts: "Last time we achieved great success on Planet Del, and you should have been promoted to lieutenant general for your merits. But you got married, and Major General Tunan thought you wouldn't be coming back and that the lieutenant general position was his. Just yesterday, his mother-in-law treated those people from the military to dinner, and now you're here..."

Fei nodded and asked Xiuer for the list of promotions.

His name is on the first line of the list, and the candidate in parentheses is Tunan.

Fei skimmed through the text, searching for a long time without finding Hoss's name. He asked, "Where's Hoss? I remember when we submitted the report, I listed your military achievements alongside his, so why isn't his name mentioned?"

Shul was speechless for a long time before finally saying, "Yesterday morning, Hoss submitted his resignation, and the military has already approved it."

"What?" Fei looked at Xiuer in shock. "Because of marriage? Didn't he even try to fight for it? He just quit like that?"

"Hoss's bone wings are gone. They were cut off by his lord on their wedding night," Shul said, his face somber and his eyes reddening. "He can no longer go to the battlefield."

Fiji:"……"

Such things are not uncommon in the military, but it is sad that they happened to Hoss.

Fei felt a dull ache in his heart. He unconsciously touched his back, and his bone wings were still intact.

The male insect didn't like him, but it didn't harm him either.

This may be the best of a bad situation.

A moment of silence fell when the female officer outside knocked and entered. "Major General! The regimental commander requests your presence."

Shul mouthed to Fei, "It must be because of Tunan."

They belonged to the Fourth Army Corps, whose commander was none other than Tu Nan's mother. It was because of this relationship that Tu Nan was able to be promoted to major general so quickly; otherwise, given his qualifications, he would never have been able to stand on equal footing with Fei Ping.

The reason the regimental commander is calling Fei over now is probably because of his promotion.

Xiuer followed his major general with some worry. Thinking of how Tu Nan had tried to steal their military merits several times before, he was very angry and said indignantly, "Major General, if you compromise, it will be too easy for him."

Fei didn't speak, but knocked on the door and entered the commander's office. Soon after, the sound of a teacup shattering could be heard, along with the commander's faint roar.

Xiuer was extremely anxious. If it weren't for the two female soldiers blocking the door, he would have rushed in to help his major general and prevent him from being bullied by insects!

As soon as his major general came out, he rushed over: "Major General! Are you alright? Did the regimental commander ask you to...?"

Fei looked at him, gesturing for the insects to come and go, and to keep quiet.

Shuer was both anxious and angry. He thought that if the regimental commander dared to do something underhanded, he would definitely take the complaint letter to the marshal to report him. He finally returned to his office after a long and agonizing wait. Just as he was about to ask his major general, he was patted on the shoulder.

Fei stared at Xiu'er, his golden vertical pupils icy cold. After a long while, just as Xiu'er held his breath, bracing himself for bad news, Fei suddenly coughed lightly and said, "From now on, call me Lieutenant General."

Shure: "!!!"

"Major General! No! Lieutenant General, you haven't compromised?"

Fei looked at him strangely: "Why should I compromise?"

He now has a male to raise, how could he possibly give up his own military merits? That would be something no insect should do.

Home.

Zhuang Nian searched through all the job postings on his computer but couldn't find any jobs that recruited male insects. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Starting a business is actually a good option, but unfortunately he doesn't understand the social production chain and economic system, nor does he have enough start-up capital.

Zhuang had never worried about making a living in his entire life. He rubbed his sore eyes, turned off his personal terminal, and went downstairs.

The nights in the Zerg are always star-studded. Apart from the Zerg rain, the temperature here is pleasant, and there are no seasons. The days are monotonous and boring.

Zhuang Nian followed Fei's example and turned on the switches in the kitchen. He used his photographic memory to precisely control each step. Everything was so accurate that even the taste was almost identical to Fei's.

As the plates were being served, the black aircraft landed on the open ground in front of the house. The hatch rose from the side and above, and three men in crisp military uniforms stepped out.

The one leading the group was Fei, and the other two were probably his subordinates.

Zhuang Nian wasn't sure if Fei had made an appointment with a friend, so he set out two more sets of tableware and took out a few cans of food from the refrigerator.

Shul and his new adjutant, Joni, escorted Fei to his doorstep, then saluted him, saying, "Lieutenant General, see you tomorrow morning."

Fei returned the greeting: "Thank you for your hard work. See you tomorrow morning."

The aroma of food wafted out as the door opened. While Fei was still holding the doorknob in surprise, Xiuer and Jiaoni behind him also smelled it.

Fei closed the door, slapping a cloud of dust off the two curious female soldiers peeking out from behind him.

He looked at the male insect sitting quietly in the main seat, clenching his fist and lowering his brows. After a long while, he walked over with a feeling that was both sweet and complicated, knelt at the male insect's feet, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Master, I'm late."

In my heart, I also thought: Thank you for the meal, Master. It would be even better if I could have a few bites.

Zhuang Nian did not speak, nor did he ask Fei to get up.

He looked at the female soldier's shoulder, where a new bar had appeared.

Lieutenant General.

Fei was promoted again on his very first day back at the military headquarters.

Zhuang Nian raised his hand to signal Fei to get up. He had no objection to Fei sitting at the table without permission and eating the dishes he had made without permission, nor was he in the mood to object.

He reiterated that he needed a job, he desperately needed one.

-

Life passed by slowly like this, with Fei going to work and Zhuang Nian quietly taking on household chores such as cooking, all expenses covered by his allowance.

Fei, who was initially terrified, gradually adapted. He still knocked on the male insect's door every night to ask if he needed service, but he never received a response.

As the subsidies gradually decreased, Zhuang Nian became increasingly anxious. Just as he was trying to find another job, he happened to attend the military's recruitment fair, which was held every three years.
