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

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

......

Lu Jianan looked up.

Wow--

...Unfortunately, science students lack cultural knowledge and can only rely on the word "wah" to get by.

But it is truly very beautiful.

A snowy, icy planet.

The sky was filled with blue, pink, and purple shimmering waves.

A swarm of jellyfish flying into the sky.

Sweet dream core—

At this moment, if a giant whale were to appear in the sky, singing its song as it swims across the heavens, it would be the ultimate kill.

Unfortunately, Lyrnia doesn't have any creatures that are so unscientific.

Only small jellyfish.

It's okay, even the small ones are cute.jpg

Bishen's voice mingled with the whisper of the aurora borealis in the wind: "Is it beautiful?"

"Hmm!" It feels like being in the ocean.

Lu Jianan turned to look at his older brother's profile illuminated by the aurora.

Although it was an unfamiliar alien planet, being next to my older brother made me feel no fear at all.

Brother, you're reliable.

He quietly moved a little closer to Bishen and grinned contentedly.

His older brother brought him on a trip, and even bought him fruit. Wow, his older brother is so kind!

......

In the center of the market was a circular square. They walked to one side and suddenly heard a commotion.

The clamor of the market suddenly erupted somewhere, like a stone thrown into a lake.

"Um?"

The Chinese people are known for their unrestrained and love-to-watch-the-fun spirit.

Lu Jianan stood on tiptoe and saw a crowd forming a circle twenty meters ahead, with some kind of noisy screaming coming from the center.

"Brother, what's going on over there?" He tugged at Bishen's sleeve.

Before Bi Shen could answer, Lu Jianan had already slipped into the crowd like a monkey watching the melon seeds.

Let me feel better, let me feel better.

Bi Shen tried to catch him but failed.

This little idiot is quicker than anyone else when it comes to watching the fun.

I could only squeeze in as well, saying, "Don't wander off."

Lu Jianan squeezed to the front row and gasped.

On the frigid ground, where temperatures were tens of degrees below zero and shoes would freeze when you stepped on them, an ordinary-looking female insect was kneeling on the ground. Her knees were already covered in ice, and she looked like she was about to freeze to death.

Standing in front of the female insect was a short male insect dressed in gorgeous robes...emmm, I guess, standing there with his arms crossed and his head held high, impatiently tapping one leg on the ground.

"Please forgive my rudeness, Your Excellency!" The female insect knelt on the ground, apologizing, her voice trembling. She raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears. "I'm so sorry I bumped into you, but I swear it was just because tourists were pushing and shoving. I really didn't mean to—"

He was genuinely terrified. It's a crime for a female insect to touch a male without permission; she'll be arrested.

"Shut up!" The male insect jabbed him sharply. "You wretched insect, how dare you bump into me! My chest hurts so much! Do you even know what crime it is for a female insect to harm a male?!"

?

Before the female insect could speak, Lu Jianan, who had squeezed in to watch the commotion, was speechless.

This dialogue sounds too much like someone trying to scam someone.

At this moment, the female insect kneeling on the ground said, "I am truly sorry, I am willing to compensate you."

Sure enough, the male insect made an outrageous demand: "I only want to go to the best hospitals. Transfer me 500,000 star coins for medical expenses."

"What?!" The female insect kneeling on the ground suddenly looked up. "You're asking too much of an insect!"

He was just an ordinary craftsman, and 500,000 star coins was a large sum of money for him.

The male insect flew into a rage: "You hit me and you won't even pay for my medical bills! You either pay 500,000 star coins for medical expenses, or you'll spend twenty years in jail! Twenty years!"

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he'd been hit by the female insect's starship, but in reality, he was just walking along when the insect lightly brushed against his arm.

Lu Jianan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

No, judging from how loudly and energetically he's jumping around, he doesn't seem to have suffered any injury from the accident.

This is extortion, isn't it? This is definitely extortion!

Is this blatant extortion in broad daylight, and nobody cares?

He turned to a tall, imposing onlooker beside him and said, "Wait, why does he want so much money? Just because he was accidentally bumped into?"

The onlookers nervously took a half-step back: "Sir... that's a male insect. It's a serious crime for a female insect to touch a male insect without permission... and the crime of harming him is even more serious!"

Why did you take a half step back? Lu Jianan looked at him in bewilderment.

Bi Shen walked over and frowned immediately upon seeing the scene: "These things on Aurora Planet..."

"Brother! This is too outrageous! Is no one going to do anything about it?" Lu Jianan heard Bi Shen's voice, turned around to look at him, and raised his voice an octave, attracting the attention of several onlookers.

He ignored it, just stared at Bishen, grabbing Bishen's sleeve with one hand and pointing at the arrogant male insect with the other: "Isn't he just trying to scam me—demanding 500,000! 500,000 for being bumped into? Funeral expenses, is he?!"

The surroundings fell silent instantly. Dozens of eyes from the onlookers turned to him.

Oh dear, there's another male insect in the crowd.

The male insects in the encirclement also spotted Lu Jianan in the crowd.

Damn, this male insect is so tall and handsome, its genetic level must be very high. It must be fawned over by many rich female insects to be making sarcastic remarks here.

The Insect God is so unfair!

"Who came from, you nutcase?!" the male insect angrily pointed at Lu Jianan. "Get out of my way! This is none of your business!"

Lu Jianan's temper flared up when he pointed at her.

"Hey, I have such a bad temper—" Lu Jianan rolled up her sleeves, but Bi Shen pulled her back.

Bi Shen grabbed Lu Jianan by the back of the neck and asked, "You really want to help him?"

"Yes." Lu Jianan turned to look at his brother.

The female insect kneeling on the ground was already in despair.

Just as the male was about to continue with a cold laugh, a black figure blocked his way.

"I'll pay for him," Bishon said. "Fifty thousand Star Coins, no more."

The room erupted in uproar.

Lu Jianan asked anxiously, "Big brother, why are you still giving him money—"

Lu Jianan was a male insect, so he couldn't target him, but Bi Shen was a female insect, so he wasn't afraid. The male insect turned to Bi Shen, spitting out a vicious tone: "Who do you think you are—"

"Bishenmantis, Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Army of Liernia." Bishen's voice wasn't loud, but every word was like a nail driven into a steel plate. "Should I contact the Aurora Star Enforcement Team? They should be happy to reassess your [business] activities in various regions of Aurora Star over the past three months."

The male insect suddenly froze, his arrogance visibly diminished, but he still forced a defiant tone, saying, "I was hit by a car, I need medical expenses, and the law enforcement team is here, so I have a valid reason..."

"Know when to quit while you're ahead, take the money and get out," Bishon said coldly.

Even though the one in front of him was a male, and he should respect him, he was, after all, the head of the mantis family, and naturally had some arrogant privileges.

The male insect reluctantly accepted Bishen's 50,000 star coins.

"Consider yourself lucky!" He glared fiercely at the female insect on the ground, then turned and left.

The onlookers grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Lu Jianan wanted to chase after the male insect, but Bi Shen stopped her, saying, "Don't fight him. If you hurt him, you'll have to pay for his medical expenses. If you kill him, it'll be a big problem."

The female insect stood up tremblingly and bowed to Bishen: "Chief, my workshop is in the western part of the Ice Lake. If you need any crystal carvings..."

"No need," Bishen interrupted him. "Let's go."

On the way back to the airport, Lu Jianan kept stealing glances at his older brother's profile.

The aurora cast ever-changing colorful light and shadow on the contours of Bishen's face, making his expression seem unfathomable.

"Brother!" Lu Jianan finally couldn't hold back anymore, "You just gave the money to that male worm like that?"

"It would be very troublesome if we didn't pay in that situation." Bishen took off his gloves. "That male insect is probably a professional extortionist. They are not of high rank and do not secrete much pheromone. They can't find wealthy female insects. After they have squandered the money and subsidies given by the Male Protection Association, they specialize in finding loopholes in the law to extort ordinary female insects."

"What?!" Lu Jianan was truly taken aback. "Can't they support themselves? This is utterly shameless!"

"That's how Liernia protects male insects. When there's a shortcut, who wants to take the proper path?" Bishen typed on the computer screen. "That 50,000 yuan is indeed unavoidable. It's not for medical expenses, but a fine for a female insect touching a male insect without permission. The enforcement team will have to pay it, and they'll also arrest and prosecute the female insect."
