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

......

Later, Gao Tian chatted with the viewers in the live chat about the differences between the military academies of the two races.

The human military academy only recruits high-ranking alphas, while the Zerg military academy only recruits high-ranking females.

The human army is basically composed entirely of alpha units, with beta units providing support. The Zerg army consists only of female units.

Although there are often rumors on both sides that omegas or male insects have infiltrated military academies and joined the army, in reality, the process from entering a military academy to enlisting in the army involves a hundred and eighty physical examinations, which is very strict.

Blood test, pheromone test, social security check, background check on three generations of ancestors.

It's virtually impossible for someone of another gender to sneak in, and the idea of ​​someone sneaking in without being tested is utterly absurd.

Military academies and military recruitment are of paramount importance to the nation and cannot afford to have any problems.

Every step is rigorously tested. If any test is found to have been omitted or a flaw is discovered, it constitutes dereliction of duty, and all the admissions teachers and recruitment leaders involved will be dismissed. No way!

Moreover, to be honest, there really is a barrier between the physical constitution of omegas and male insects and that of alphas and female insects. This is a physiological constraint that cannot be changed by willpower.

Therefore, the military academies and armies on both sides only have alphas and female soldiers; you can't see any others at all.

A Zerg citizen who had never seen male Zerg in a military academy or army, only female Zerg, imagined a military academy filled with high-ranking male Zerg in the comments.

Wow......

The Zerg males are so weak they can't lift anything, how come the human males evolved to be like that?

It's amazing that humans and Zerg could evolve into two completely different extremes.

There are more tall, handsome, and physically strong human males than Zerg citizens. Sigh, that's not fun.

Why couldn't Lyrnia have opened a flight route to Earth sooner?!

Citizens of the Empire were wailing and rolling around in the barrage of comments.

The Zerg's sex ratio is approaching 100:1; a typical female Zerg will never see a male in her entire life. Everyone's going crazy with loneliness; I just want to go back to Earth right now... sob sob...

"Stop yelling, not now." Lan said, looking at the comments on the screen. "Before official routes are established, no one is allowed to secretly go to Earth in a private spaceship."

"Visas should be allowed between humans and the Liernia Empire in the future, but not now. Humans and the Zerg haven't established diplomatic relations yet. If anyone dares to secretly sail a starship to the human side, affecting the racial image and the diplomatic process, I'll skin your whole family alive."

【Okay! Okay!】

We'll wait! We'll just wait!

"We will definitely do our best to establish peaceful diplomatic relations with humanity," Lan said. "You should all take note. The Zerg are indeed feared by all races in the universe. This is not because we have done anything wrong, but because intelligent races inevitably feel fear when facing an opponent of vastly superior strength."

"You might not think it's a big deal, but humans are definitely afraid of it."

"We're here to establish diplomatic relations, not to oppress others. Our Zerg Empire is not space pirates. Be patient, know you're frightening, restrain your behavior, complete official communication first, try to leave humanity with a good impression of the Zerg, and don't act arbitrarily."

【yes!!!】

【Okay! Okay!】

We will definitely wait patiently for the official announcement!

"Then let me ask you another question," Lan said. "If we fail to establish diplomatic relations with humans this time, and humans ultimately decide not to intermarry with the Zerg, what action should you take?"

"Hey, don't say that, it's too serious..." Gao Tianlai stopped him.

It's possible that humans might dislike the Zerg. Ordinary Zerg citizens may not have considered this possibility.

But it wouldn't be good to be so direct with them all at once.

Children need to be taught slowly; you can't just force them to learn like ducks.

But he couldn't stop her; Lan asked the question.

He immediately presented the most distressing possible option to all the insects.

The comments section suddenly went silent.

It has fallen silent, truly fallen silent.

The entire bullet screen was cleared. There were billions of viewers online, but for a long time, there were no comments on the screen.

A very suffocating silence.

Lan pressed Gao Tian's hand down and asked the chat again, "Speak."

Avoiding problems is useless.

Before doing something, you should be mentally prepared for the worst possible outcome.

The worst-case scenario for establishing diplomatic relations with humanity is that humanity ultimately decides not to associate with the Zerg, preferring to keep to themselves.

We cannot allow his citizens to remain in a state of high-expectation excitement indefinitely; we must also prepare them psychologically for the possibility of their expectations being dashed and their efforts being in vain.

Ultimately, the decision of whether or not humans should establish diplomatic relations with the Zerg rests with humans, not with the Zerg.

So how would the Zerg citizens react to being ultimately rejected?

Let him see whether his citizens are truly innocent fools, or whether the Zerg females are essentially like those powerful female politicians—a group of vicious, wicked, and bullying bandits.

The chat remained silent for a very long time.

Much later, a comment finally appeared hesitantly:

[After much thought, it's truly incredibly difficult to give up the high-level male insects that are all over the world...]

"And then?" Lan asked patiently.

However, I believe that whether or not to establish diplomatic relations or allow intermarriage should be their prerogative...

Yes. Although I'm extremely reluctant to part with it.

But if humans refuse, we won't go.

We won't either.

We, the Zerg, never invade other races!

We are the masters of the universe, not cosmic robbers.

We will try our best, but there's nothing we can do if we can't achieve it.

Her Highness the Crown Princess said she hopes we are free.

【Then we shouldn't bring unfreedom to his country and people either!!!】

......

There's much more to say.

Gao Tian and Lan saw it all.

Gao Tian smiled and gave a thumbs-up to the Zerg citizens in front of the camera and behind the barrage of comments.

"Very good." Lan smiled slightly, raised her chin, and said to them, "You've passed."

......

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

......

The Zerg Empire's territory is too vast.

Even traveling from the central star to the southern border of Centaurus, it took several days, even by the Prince's Ship.

Having nothing else to do these past few days, Gao Tian found the citizens of the Liernia Empire quite amusing, so he started doing live streams whenever he had free time.

The Zerg citizens are quite adorable too.

Ah, my long-suppressed desire to show off finally has a place to be unleashed!

"My people, do you know what this is?" Gao Tian asked the chat, patting a silver, spherical object.

The comments section was filled with speculation:

[Cannonball?]

[A gravity ball?]

[A decorative item?]

[AI robot?]

"No, none of that's right!" Gao Tian exclaimed happily, "Let me tell you, this is a giant star crystal firework that your Crown Prince made for me!"

【? ? ? 】

【Star Crystal? ? ? 】

Is this the star crystal I know?

[Question: What is a star crystal?]

[Where did this brat come from? He hasn't even finished his mecha theory class and he's already online?]

[Hey kid, star crystals are a strengthening material for the outer shells of mechs and starships, costing 100,000 universal currency per gram. The ball the Crown Princess is holding looks to be about two kilograms.]

【? ? ? ? 】

"That's not all!" Gao Tian excitedly showed them his treasures, pouring out several antique keys inlaid with gemstones from the box with a clatter.

He picked up a handful: "Do you know what this is?"

[Are there still things this old?]

Locks made with this thing have a history of at least a thousand years, right?

[Wait for the gemstone key with over a thousand years of history...]

Could it be...?

Could it be...?

[No way? ? ?]

"This is the key to the treasury of the Grand Palace of Liernia! Hahahaha!"

Then Gao Tian continued counting: "This is from the Crown Prince's palace. This is from the summer palace. This is from the Crown Prince's private treasury. This is from the Crown Prince's helipad at Starport..."

"Oh dear, I said no, no, but your Crown Prince insisted on giving it to me. He even got angry with me when I said I didn't want it." Gao Tian covered his face. "So I had no choice but to accept it. He even told me that I could use everything in his private treasury at any time. Oh my, look at this mess, hahaha, your Crown Prince really loves me to death, hahaha..."

[...I couldn't hold it in any longer.]

[Suddenly started eating lemons.]

Just how much of a braggart is he?

That's enough, I really mean that's enough.

[It feels like the mystique surrounding the Crown Princess has suddenly vanished.]

[Your Highness, I never expected you to be like this!]

Gao Tian ignored him, and then, in a very affected manner, deliberately showed off the metal plate on his wrist, turning his head away in a disdainful manner and saying:

"Look at this bracelet. It looks like it's made of metal sheets strung together, doesn't it? Sigh, the other day your Crown Prince insisted on giving me a bracelet, but when I saw it, I realized it wasn't very nice. I asked the Crown Prince, 'Why don't we make them into beads?' Your Crown Prince said no, 'This is the power of the Insect Emperor.'"
