Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

The lengthy welcoming ceremony finally came to an end.

Ailand turned slightly to the side, leading him toward the private hovercar parked to the side.

The hovercar has a streamlined shape and a matte dark gray finish, which is understated yet exudes an undeniable sense of technology and power.

Lin Luo's eyes lit up instantly—this behemoth was cooler than any supercar he had ever driven on Earth!

The two boarded the hovercar, with Ailand in the driver's seat and Lin Luodi in the passenger seat.

The seat automatically adjusts to the most comfortable angle according to his body shape, providing an excellent sense of support.

The hovercar rose smoothly and swiftly, silently gliding into the intricate airspace at an astonishing speed.

Before Lin Luo could even fully savor the push-back sensation and the spectacular scenery rushing past the window, he heard Ailand's calm voice:

"Your Excellency, we have arrived."

The hovercar had landed smoothly in a spacious private parking space.

Lin Luo: "..."

"That was so fast!" He touched the high-quality control panel with a hint of reluctance before getting out of the car with Ailand.

What comes into view is an imposing gate, with a cold and simple style that exudes an inviolable majesty, flanked by high walls.

Ailand stood in front of the door and looked at Lin Luo: "This is my home. I hope you will find it comfortable living here for the next year."

The door slid open silently, and the sight inside made Lin Luo, a rich second-generation heir who was used to seeing mansions, gasp slightly.

It's less like a home and more like a combination of a fully functional small military base and a top-tier luxury residence.

The overall style is a cold, hard gray and white color scheme with clean lines and an extremely open space.

The lobby was so simple it was almost empty, with no superfluous decorations, only the necessary furniture, and everything was in perfect order.

Different passages lead deeper into the area, where one can vaguely discern different functional divisions such as living areas, training areas, and office areas.

The most striking feature is the view of the backyard through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on one side of the hall.

It wasn't a refined garden, but rather a large expanse of tall, dense trees of unknown species.

Sunlight filtered through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground, creating a deep, almost indistinct atmosphere.

"Wow..." Lin Luo couldn't help but exclaim.

Seeing the novelty and excitement on Lin Luo's face, Ailand felt a sense of relief. He led Lin Luo through the hall to a relatively private area.

"This is your bedroom." Aland pushed open a door.

Unlike the cold and austere style of the outside, this bedroom has clearly been carefully decorated.

The color scheme is warm and soft, with a plush carpet and huge floor-to-ceiling windows offering a beautiful view of the courtyard.

The bed looks fluffy and comfortable, and the accompanying bathroom and study are fully equipped, exuding comfort and warmth throughout.

"My bedroom is right next door."

Eland pointed to the tightly closed door next to him.

"Across from us is the entertainment room, which has the latest holographic game pods and audio-visual systems."

At the end of the corridor was another room containing some military models.

His tone became momentarily unnatural when he mentioned the model.

"The walk-in closet is inside the bedroom, and we have already prepared some basic clothing for you."

The mansion is equipped with a smart butler system. If you have any other needs, you can simply give it your orders. I have already set your privileges to the highest level.

As Lin Luo watched all this, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Ailand looks so cold and serious, but I never expected him to be so thoughtful and considerate.

He turned to look at Eland and said very seriously:

"Thank you, Elland, that's wonderful. Don't worry, I'll try my best to master the art of soothing as soon as possible."

Ailand met his sincere gaze and slightly looked away:

"I'm glad you're happy. These are all my duties as a guardian insect, and you don't need to feel any burden about them."

He paused, then continued:

"I need to report to the military headquarters later. You are free to tour the residence."

Except for the training room on the second basement level, which contains live ammunition and dangerous equipment and should not be entered without permission, you may use all other areas freely.

"Okay, you go and do your important business, don't worry about me." Lin Luo nodded quickly.

Ayland gave him a final nod, then turned and strode away.

As he listened to the sound of Ailand's footsteps fading into the distance, Lin Luo's face instantly lit up with excitement. He rubbed his hands together, his eyes darting around as he surveyed this enormous "new home."

"Alright, this is my territory for the next year!"

He muttered to himself and began his "territorial survey" with great interest.

---------

After settling Lin Luo in, Ailand went straight to the military headquarters building.

He briefed Lieutenant General Phillips on the details and results of the border campaign.

Lieutenant General Phillips was a veteran female soldier with a resolute face and tough style.

He listened carefully to Ailand's report, and looking at the detailed data and brilliant results in the battle report, a smile of appreciation finally appeared on his serious face.

"Well done, Elland!" The lieutenant general patted Elland's shoulder forcefully.

"The command in this campaign was impeccable, and the tactical execution was exemplary."

The Seventh Fleet has once again proven itself to be the Empire's sharpest blade! I will recommend you and your men for commendation.

"Thank you, General! This is all thanks to the efforts of the entire army," Aland replied, standing at attention.

After the report was completed, just as Ailand was about to take his leave, the lieutenant general said:

"By the way, His Excellency the Marshal just sent a message asking you to come over. Go quickly."

Eland understood.

Field Marshal Arnold Wall, the Supreme Commander of the Army, was also the elder who had sponsored his studies and now placed high hopes on him.

The marshal had repeatedly expressed his appreciation for his military talent, but he was also always worried that his overuse of mental energy would prematurely lead to an irreversible mental collapse.

This time, he not only brought back a glorious victory, but also a mysterious male insect that could soothe his spirit. This matter was destined to alarm the marshal.

"Yes, General." Ailand saluted and turned to walk towards the area where the Marshal's office was located.

Arriving at the door that symbolized the highest authority in the military, Ailand straightened his uniform and raised his hand to knock.

"Come in." A deep and authoritative voice came from inside the door.

Ailand pushed open the door and entered, standing at attention and saluting: "Your Excellency Marshal! Commander Ailand of the Seventh Fleet reporting for duty!"

The office is spacious and simple, with a huge star map floating in mid-air.

Behind the desk sat Field Marshal Arnold Wall. He looked quite old, with graying temples, but his posture remained upright like a pine tree, and his eyes were sharp like an eagle's.

The marshal's gaze fell on Ailand, and after scrutinizing him for a moment, he slowly spoke: "I've read the battle report. You fought well. How are you feeling?"

"Thank you for your concern, Marshal. Everything is fine," Eland replied.

The marshal nodded and tapped his finger lightly on the table:

"Beyond the battle reports, I've heard quite a bit about other things. Is the Lord Lin Luo you brought back capable of calming your mental energy surge?"

"Yes."

"Have you confirmed the origin of this product?"

"Not at the moment. He claimed that due to an accidental impact, some of his memories were blurred, and the insect could not be found in the database."

"I have already applied through the military's special channels to become their temporary guardian for a period of one year," Ayland reported truthfully.

The marshal pondered for a moment, then stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the rows of military buildings outside.

"Protect him, and protect yourself. Your body is not only yours, but also the wealth of the empire. I need you to be in top condition."

"Yes, Marshal!" Aland immediately accepted the order.

Field Marshal Wolf walked back to the table, picked up a document and began to read. As Eland prepared to turn and leave, the Marshal, as if suddenly remembering something, added without looking up:

"By the way, His Majesty the Insect Emperor is also aware of this matter, and he is very interested in it."

Ailand froze instantly as he was about to turn around.

His Majesty the Insect Emperor?!
