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

Then came the second wave of announcements, which were even more disruptive.

It was still a joint account, which released more detailed supplementary information:

...While extending our congratulations to His Excellency Lin Luo, the Imperial Medical Department and the Imperial Academy of Sciences, based on this observation and past data, must clarify to the public a significant and relevant discovery:

The new mental sea comforting and interaction model advocated and practiced by His Excellency Lin Luo, based on deep 'trust', 'healing' intentions and positive emotional flow, has been proven through preliminary analysis and case review to not only have a significant positive impact on the mental sea health of female insects, but also to produce clear positive feedback and promotion on the mental strength of male insects involved.

His Excellency Lin Luo's promotion is an extreme yet inspiring manifestation of the effects of this model.

Existing models show that long-term, sincere practice of this interaction helps improve the purity and stability of male insects' mental energy, and has the potential to promote positive changes in their rank.

Related research will continue to be conducted in depth.

This statement is made to set the record straight.

This time, it truly blew the sky away!

[What does this mean?! A new way to soothe insects... that can also upgrade male insects?!]

"Trust," "healing," "positive emotions"...aren't these what Lord Lin Luo has been emphasizing? They actually benefit the male insect himself?!

So, those male insects who vehemently oppose it are actually rejecting a path that could make them stronger?!

[I understand! No wonder Lord Theodore was so eager! Did he sense it all along?]

If this is true, then what about the association's previous statement, the petition signed by those nobles...? Did they voluntarily give up the possibility of true evolution?

[The female insect gains health, and the male insect has the potential to upgrade... It's a win-win situation!]

Public opinion shifted rapidly.

The opponents, who were originally incited by the Second Prince's camp and believed that the new model would harm the interests of male insects, especially the male insects and their female insects who were not extremely conservative but were just driven by fear and herd mentality, were shocked and bewildered.

Subsequently, they almost simultaneously switched sides, and faced with the temptation of upgrading, the voices of the opponents almost disappeared.

[Scientifically proven! Officially endorsed! Who else can do this?!]

Lord Lin Luo pioneered this path by experimenting on himself! He was not only the trailblazer but also the first practitioner to demonstrate its mutual benefits!

[Those who criticized Lord Lin Luo for bewitching insects and destroying tradition, are you ashamed now? Who is really hindering progress and preventing male insects from becoming better?]

Facts speak louder than words! The S+ rating is the best proof!

[My lord just stared at the announcement for ten minutes, then silently opened the recorded version of "Lin Luo's Lecture Hall"...]

......

Lei is a mid-level manager at the Third Starfield Mining Company. His master, Lord Kaven, is a B-level male insect.

The male lord is a very typical male in Zerg society—reserved, enjoying privileges, and his requirements for female servants are limited to "obedience" and "providing a comfortable life."

As for his mental health? That's not within his consideration, just like he wouldn't consider whether the furniture would get tired.

Over the past few weeks, the controversy surrounding Lord Lin Luo on StarNet has intensified, and whenever Lei sneaks a peek at the topic during breaks from housework, the male master always scoffs at it.

"Is it that attention-seeking Lin Luo again?" He leaned back in the soft sofa, enjoying his after-dinner fruit.

"What nonsense about male insects 'genuinely healing'? That's a joke. Mental power is born for control; it's a law of nature."

Lei silently wiped the coffee table, not daring to say a word.

"The Male Insect Protection Association is right," the male insect said, taking a bite of the juicy star fruit, the juice staining his fingertips. Ray immediately handed him a handkerchief. "This is putting shackles on us. Today they want us to change our way of appeasing, tomorrow are they going to make us stand on equal footing with the female insects? Ridiculous."

He even loudly mocked Lin Luo at a family gathering, in front of the other male insects and female servants: "That Lin Luo, does he think he's the savior of the female insects? And Theodore, he's willingly degenerated and goes along with his nonsense."

Lei lowered his head and remained silent.

However, everything has changed today.

As usual, the male master was browsing the StarNet in the living room, while Lei was preparing to start dinner.

Suddenly, the male ruler let out a short, startled cry: "What?!"

I paused, and when I turned around, I saw the male ruler suddenly sit up straight, his eyes fixed on the screen, his expression seemingly both shocked and excited.

"S+... Upgrade the day after tomorrow, confirmed?" he muttered to himself, his fingers flying across the keyboard.

Lei asked in confusion, "S+?" He quietly withdrew and logged onto the StarNet. As soon as he entered, he saw the joint announcement from the Imperial Medical Department and the Academy of Sciences, which shocked him.

Lei listened to the voice of the powerful lord:

"...The new soothing mode produces a positive feedback on the male insect's mental power, and has the potential to promote changes in its rank!" The male master's voice was even slightly distorted with excitement.

In the living room, the male master's breathing was slightly heavy, while Lei could almost hear his own heartbeat.

Suddenly, the powerful ruler shouted, "Thunder?"

"My Lord!" Lei shut down the StarNet and appeared instantly.

His master, as usual, showed impatience, and instead frowned as if he were pondering a complex problem.

"Deep trust, positive emotional flow..." He repeated the phrases from the announcement, his gaze lingering on Lei's face. "You said... if we tried Lin Luo's method..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning couldn't be clearer.

In that instant, Lei looked at the undisguised longing for the "possibility of upgrading" in his eyes and didn't know what to think.

Fifteen years of neglect could not withstand a single announcement that "male insects can also benefit."

However, in the end, I can still benefit from it, so that's already good enough.

"My lord," Ray lowered his eyes, concealing all emotion, "if you wish to try, I will cooperate."

The powerful ruler seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his usual expression returned to his face, but the eagerness in his eyes was undeniable.

"Okay, you go prepare dinner first, I... I'll study that new model a bit more."

He waved his hand, his attention already back on the screen, and began searching for playback, his expression focused.

Lei turned and walked towards the kitchen, his heart pounding with excitement.

In any case, starting tonight, some things will be different.

Currently, the changes made by male bugs may only be for "upgrading," but it is a good start. And there are many, many male bugs like Kaven in this empire.

On the screen, the cold light of the imperial joint statement illuminated the gloomy face of the Second Prince, Case.

Those announcements, like invisible hammers, shattered the chessboard he had meticulously laid out over many days.

"S+, upgrade after birth, mutual promotion," he muttered the keywords under his breath, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the table, each tap heavier than the last.
