A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

*************

……

The Zerg diplomats laughed and joked, planning to give their compatriots who remained in the Empire a little A-color shock.

Krim sat in his seat, his hands neatly placed on the round table, his fingertips touching the cool surface.

The military exercise was very impressive, and the male insects on Earth were also very handsome.

But for some reason, he just seemed to be in a low mood.

He remembered the disappearing bead of sweat, the smile that met his gaze, the eyelashes in the sunlight, and the soldier who vanished without a word.

Wow, it looks like a mountain peak.

From afar, it appears cold and imposing, but upon closer inspection, one discovers a gentle morning mist within.

Oh, what a pity, I didn't get his name.

The hope of seeing each other again is probably slim.

Krim pursed his lips.

Pierre noticed that he seemed to be not moving much, which was a bit strange. He came over and put his arm around his shoulder: "Krim, what's wrong?"

"Huh?" Krim snapped out of his daze. "I'm fine."

"What's wrong, bro? You don't even like looking at such a handsome male anymore?"

I'm a little tired.

"Yeah, you were so excited when we were almost at Earth that you didn't sleep for ages, right?"

"yes."

"I knew it. Every insect would be so excited that it couldn't sleep when it first went to another planet to establish diplomatic relations."

"You're right."

……

Just as they were speaking.

Commander-in-Chief Qi of the First Military Region and the Director of the Alliance rose again to welcome them.

The junior diplomats stopped chatting and immediately stood up to express their gratitude.

In the evening, Earth prepared a sumptuous state banquet for them.

The state banquet was held in the Golden Dome Banquet Hall of the Great Hall of the People.

After arriving here in a military aircraft, the banquet hall's dome-shaped crystal chandeliers and star maps flashed alternately, and the tables were set with both molecular gastronomy and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, served in a traditional West Lake celadon china dish.

The main round table in the banquet hall was ten meters in diameter. Commander-in-Chief Qi of Earth and the Director of the Alliance sat in the main seats, while Minister Greta and Deputy Minister Leisha sat in the guest seats. The remaining Earth officials and the Zerg junior diplomats sat on both sides at the lower end of the table.

From the moment the dishes are set on the table, every step is precise down to the second, and the temperature of each dish is controlled within the golden range of 65 degrees Celsius.

Generally speaking, the dishes served at state banquets undergo rigorous testing, and the culinary team must undergo quarantine for thirty days in advance.

The Zerg diplomats arrived somewhat suddenly, and there wasn't enough time, but the ingredients for each dish still underwent three rigorous testing processes.

Although the chef team did not have time to quarantine 30 days in advance, they traced the chefs' ancestors for 18 generations. 200 grams of samples from each dish will be kept and refrigerated for 90 days for testing and traceability at any time.

Everything was made sure that no problems would arise.

The distinctive Chinese food culture of the First Military Region has a long history.

Lion's head meatballs are a timeless classic, lobster symbolizes the dragon soaring across the four seas, and Longjing shrimp conveys the charm of Jiangnan.

Wensi tofu is made to be so fine that each piece holds together without falling apart and is as thin as a hair, reflecting a meticulous approach to food preparation.

Boiled cabbage soup embodies the principle of simplicity.

West Lake Blue Bone China, with a glaze color inspired by the clear sky after rain, each piece of tableware undergoes nearly a hundred processes of hand-polishing and firing.

Major General Lin sat to the right of the alien Greta Foreign Minister, pushed a teacup towards him, and chatted with him like a friend.

"Minister Greta, please have a taste. This is Wuyi Mountain's original Da Hong Pao tea, universally recognized as the best tea on Earth."

I promised to treat our alien friends to the finest tea, and I will never forget that.

After thanking him, Minister Greta picked up the teacup with both hands and took a small sip.

Da Hong Pao is an oolong tea that has undergone fermentation. It has a very mild grassy taste, and is refreshing and sweet, making it more suitable for the tastes of the insectoid citizens than green tea.

Caramel orchids, refreshing peaches, clouds and mist, and red mountains after the rain.

The Da Hong Pao mother tree ceased harvesting in the 21st century, and this is the first time it has been harvested again after more than a thousand years of protection.

It is essential to let the Zerg Empire know that humanity also highly values ​​the Zerg friends who have come from afar.

"Very impressive."

Minister Greta exclaimed after tasting it.

That's really impressive. The Zerg Empire doesn't have a food culture that uses roasted and processed plant leaves to make drinks.

It has a very rich and wonderful flavor. Strangely enough, it is not bitter at all, but rather very, very sweet.

Earth is truly like a fairyland; even the leaves on the trees taste sweet.

A divine product.

The Alliance Director opposite him smiled and said, "I'm glad you're happy. There's nothing we can do about the mother tree's maximum yield of less than 500 grams, but as one of our national gifts, we humans will present the Liernia Empire with 50 kilograms of second-generation Crimson Robes."

Tea trees can be propagated by cuttings. The second-generation mother trees propagated by cuttings from the original mother tree are now ancient tea trees that are thousands of years old. Their taste is not much different from that of the original mother tree.

Although the second-generation mother tree's yield wasn't very abundant, not even enough for our own consumption, it wasn't impossible to grit our teeth and share fifty kilograms.

For guests who have come from afar... let the guests take back a touch of the wonder of human tea culture.

"Thank you very much. All our citizens should love this product of our planet."

Minister Greta laughed.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

Earth Major General Lin chatted and drank tea with the alien foreign minister.

Foreign Minister Zhao was seated to Greta's left, but it was Major General Lin and Greta who were actually talking. The usually talkative Minister Zhao, contrary to his usual chatterbox nature, was now solely focused on serving Greta food.

Serving vegetables.

Serving vegetables.

Serving vegetables.

Major General Lin peeked out, his gaze passing over Minister Greta to look at him: "Minister Zhao, are you planning to switch careers and become a service worker?"

Minister Zhao didn't say anything, but just smiled shyly with his ears turning red.

Minister Greta remained silent, but then smiled.

The atmosphere was harmonious.

After the atmosphere had become familiar.

Finally, Major General Lin, who was already very familiar with the situation, spoke up and asked a question that the Earth side had been suppressing their curiosity for a long time: "Minister Greta, why did you come to Earth to establish diplomatic relations?"

Earth is just an insignificant asteroid in the vast universe, probably smaller than a grain of sand in the ocean.

Given the vast distance between them, how did the Liernia Empire manage to pinpoint their location in such a massive ocean?

The Alliance Director opposite him couldn't help but chuckle and ask, "Did you see the Traveler spacecraft we've been communicating with the outside world?"

The history of sending Voyager spacecraft outward from Earth is over a thousand years old.

However, human technology is limited, and it is estimated that the Voyager spacecraft should not have left the Milky Way yet. Could it have been spotted by the Zerg Empire?

"Huh?" Minister Greta asked in surprise.

"???" The people on Earth looked at him with a question in their eyes.

"Didn't I say that?" Greta asked in surprise.

"???" What did you say?

The Earthlings were even more surprised than he was.

Oh, thinking about it, it seems I didn't say that.

Minister Greta touched his forehead in frustration. "Where did his professionalism go?" he sighed. "How could he forget something so important?"

Then he stood up straight, looking serious.

"?" The people on Earth looked at him in confusion.

Minister Greta bowed slightly in an apologetic gesture: "I'm so sorry, I forgot to mention that."

"Your esteemed Mr. Gao Tian is now the Crown Princess of our Liernia Empire."

……

Everyone stand up.

"What?!"

……

*****

……

Despite a minor hiccup, the state banquet proceeded smoothly afterward.

The uninformed Zerg didn't notice anything unusual.

They simply thought that the state banquet of humankind was amazing, delicious, and perfectly satisfying.

After the state banquet, the Zerg diplomats expressed their gratitude and declined Earth's offer to arrange accommodations for them, returning to their diplomatic ship to rest.

For their race, it's more comfortable on a diplomatic ship.

On Earth, after hosting the Zerg diplomats, the bigwigs didn't rest but instead held a tense meeting.

The human alliance and the military district have never been exactly on good terms.

In fact, even the 48 military regions of humanity are not a monolithic entity; the original national factions are still secretly vying for power.

The alliance also has different political parties and party leaders, with various forces deeply entrenched within its ranks.

Military District 37 has always been the front line of humanity's fight against the Zerg.

The commander of Military District 37 had just lost his only son in the Battle of Star 65 and now had a very bad impression of the Zerg, remaining silent in the midst of the debate.

Commander-in-Chief Qi patted him reassuringly.

After the advanced Zerg communicated with humans, the humans suddenly realized that they had been fighting against the lower Zerg, and that humans were actually regarded as precious friends by the advanced Zerg.

Colonel Gao Tian, ​​who was previously presumed to have sacrificed himself, actually survived. He was rescued by the Crown Prince of the Zerg Empire and even became the Crown Princess in the Zerg Empire.

This makes the death of the son of the commander of the 37th Military Region seem particularly regrettable.

The son of the commander of the 37th Military Region was once the most outstanding son of the generation in the military region.

It's such a pity that it's gone, it's such a shame.

It's such a pity that one can't say anything else but:

What a pity.
