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

A few minutes later, the door to the reception room slid open.

Major General Ailand stood at the door, already dressed in a crisp new military uniform, every button meticulously fastened, highlighting his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and upright, pine-like figure.

However, his face was paler than usual, like fine porcelain, which did not make him look fragile, but rather added to his cold and aloof demeanor.

He strode closer, his steps steady, and immediately locked onto the figure sitting in the center of the room.

Lin Luo also looked up when he heard the sound.

Eyes facing each other.

Lin Luo's eyes instantly filled with amazement. This was the guy who had just spread his bone wings and fought the monster with his bare hands in space!

Upon closer inspection, the impact of this face is far more powerful than a fleeting glimpse.

Ayland's face was an aggressively handsome one, with silver-white hair meticulously combed back to reveal a smooth forehead and sharp sideburns.

His eyebrows were clearly defined, and his eyelashes were thick and long, making his gray-blue eyes appear even deeper and colder. He had a high nose bridge, and his lips were thin and pale in color, which were slightly pursed at the moment, giving off an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Lin Luo couldn't help but admire her in his heart. What a beautiful, aloof woman. She made him want to explore her further.

Aland's eyes held a scrutinizing gaze. The male insect before him was excessively young, and his appearance was indeed outstanding. His black hair and black eyes were extremely rare among the insect race, and his eyes were clear, carrying a kind of... liveliness that did not match his status.

"Your Mightiness,"

Ayland spoke first, his voice steady, with the clear, cold quality characteristic of a soldier, but he deliberately slowed his pace.

"I am Ailand, commander of the Imperial Seventh Fleet. Welcome to my warship, the 'Sharp Blade'. Please forgive me if my subordinates have failed to provide adequate hospitality."

Lin Luo stood up, mimicking the other person's posture, trying to appear more composed:

"Hello, Major General Ailand, I'm Lin Luo." He gave a familiar, friendly smile.

"There was nothing wrong with them, they were all very...enthusiastic." He carefully considered his words.

"Lin Luo... Your Excellency?"

Ailand repeated the name, quickly filtering through all the registered male insects in the empire, but found nothing.

He glanced at his adjutant Hawke beside him, who immediately shook his head silently, indicating that there was no matching information in the database.

He didn't show it on his face, but nodded slightly. "It's their honor. Please have a seat."

"How did you come to such a dangerous place as the battlefield?"

Here we go, they asked about this, just as I expected.

Lin Luo thought to himself, but his smile remained unchanged:

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure either. It seems we encountered a rare spatial turbulence, and the spacecraft went out of control. When I woke up, I was already in your warship's... uh... warehouse."

"Spatial turbulence?" Aland's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

"This is indeed rare; you are exceptionally lucky to have escaped such a crisis unscathed."

Eland didn't press further, but instead said:

"I was dealing with post-war matters and I apologize for not being able to receive you promptly. Did the fighting on the battlefield cause you any discomfort?"

"Ah, that?" Lin Luo's eyes lit up slightly, his tone carrying a hint of excitement and admiration.

"To be honest, it was a bit scary, but incredibly impressive! Especially the fact that you, Rear Admiral, flew out of the warship to personally participate in the battle—that was awesome..."

He's more capable than many generals! How did he do that?

Lin Luo recalled that he almost said the wrong thing because he couldn't control himself for a moment.

This reaction was completely unexpected by Ailand. Ordinary male insects would scream and lose their composure even at the mere sight of an image of a star beast.

The male insect before him showed no signs of being spoiled or complaining; instead, it displayed…admiration and curiosity? He gazed at Lin Luo, whose expression seemed genuine.

"It's just a basic application of mental power and insect armor; as long as your mental sea is strong enough, you'll be fine."

Ailand brushed it off lightly, but his doubts deepened. This male insect seemed to lack any concept of common sense.

"Mental power, mental sea? What is that? Is it telekinesis?" Lin Luo muttered to himself, keeping his doubts to himself.

"Your peaceful mindset is admirable; most male insects do not appreciate such rudeness."

"Rude? Not at all, it's exciting!"

"I mean...it's very shocking." Lin Luo noticed that Ailand's expression was off, so he toned it down a bit.

Exciting? Eland caught the strange adjective.

His grey-blue eyes had deepened, seemingly unintentionally revealing:

"Male insects usually prefer salons and art on the capital planet and rarely like combat-related things. You are quite unique."

"Really? Maybe we just have different tastes," Lin Luo said evasively.

Eland was silent for a moment, as if weighing his options, then his tone softened and became more sincere:

"Lord Lin Luo, I have no intention of invading your privacy, but your appearance is unusual, and I need to be responsible for your safety and subsequent arrangements."

"If you trust me and tell me your exact identity, I can arrange to send you home as soon as possible. Your family must be extremely worried right now."

Go home? Lin Luo's heart sank. Did he even have a home to return to?

He lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously curling slightly. When he looked up again, his face held just the right amount of confusion and a hint of vulnerability.

"I... actually, after the impact, I don't remember many things clearly. I only remember that my name is Lin Luo and that I was caught in spatial turbulence. Everything else... is very blurry."

He pointed to his head, giving a helpless, slightly apologetic smile.

"I probably can't tell you any more right now."

Amnesia? Eland stared at him.

"Understood," Eland finally spoke, his tone devoid of emotion.

"In that case, please rest assured and recuperate on the warship. I will have the military doctor give you a comprehensive physical examination, which may help your recovery."

During this period, you will be the most honored guest on the 'Sharp Blade'.

He tried to get up and leave, but his body swayed almost imperceptibly.

The suppressed turmoil deep within his spiritual sea surged up again, even more violently than before—

The excruciating pain felt like steel needles piercing his nerves; his ears began to ring, and his vision started to distort and blur.

"Hawk," he ordered his adjutant, his voice still steady, but his pace slightly quickening.

"Take Lord Lin Luo to..." The sudden sharp pain made him pause.

At that very moment, perhaps the extreme pain caused his mental energy to leak out uncontrollably, or perhaps it was Lin Luo's special constitution from Earth that caused the problem.

Lin Luo suddenly "saw"—
