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

......

Gao Tian turned the door lock, and with a soft "click," the door opened.

Gao Tian walked in and looked around the house.

The villa wasn't large, roughly estimated at around 300 square meters. The overall decor was exceptionally warm, with empty picture frames on the walls, suggesting it was originally inhabited by a family.

It has two and a half floors. The first floor is the living room and dining room, and the upper floor and a half is probably the study and bedroom.

Gao Tian didn't go up. After all, it was someone else's house. Even though the owner might never come back, he still felt a little awkward about casually entering someone else's bedroom.

The sofa in the living room was large and comfortable, and looked like it could comfortably seat several people at the same time, so he decided to make do on the sofa for the night.

The doors and windows in the house hadn't been opened for a long time, so there wasn't much dust buildup; it was just that the air hadn't circulated for a while, and there was a slightly unpleasant smell.

Gao Tian opened the window to let in some fresh air, then wiped the sofa with a rag and lay down on it.

Sigh, Lan seems to have never done housework before. I wonder if he even knows how to tidy up the house. This house hasn't been used for so long, is he just going to go in and lie down without even tidying up?

......

Blue wouldn't.

He knows more than Gao Tian.

Gao Tian suffered because of that bumpkin.

Houses in the Liernia Empire, especially those located in affluent areas, are typically equipped with advanced and sophisticated automatic control systems. However, these systems are usually switched off when leaving. Generally, unused energy bars aren't removed when the system is switched off; there's still energy remaining in the system. It just needs to be restarted—

"Click".

Lan pressed the hidden switch behind the door.

The lights are on!

In the previously dimly lit corner, strips of blue electric lights lit up one after another, and an AI control screen appeared beside the door. A gentle and friendly AI voice softly announced: "August 2nd, 4299 of the Cosmic Calendar. Welcome, guest. Please scan the host's invitation to authorize."

Lan stuck his ID card onto the screen.

AI reads: "Identity ID 00000000. Highest privileges."

The AI ​​changed its tone: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, welcome."

Lan said, "The self-cleaning housekeeping system is activated."

AI: "Instructions received."

The wall opened, and hidden housekeeping robots emerged one after another from the corner, beginning to tidy up the house and clean the room.

The warm lights of the water bar in the living room illuminated the space, and the automatic filter began its efficient operation, continuously supplying pure water. The coffee machine emitted a soft hum, as the coffee beans danced merrily in the grinder.

Pure water is heated to brew coffee, releasing a rich and captivating aroma.

The food processor in the kitchen made a crisp "ding" sound, starting to unpack and bake the sealed toast.

This type of toast uses true vacuum sealing technology, giving it a shelf life of up to eighty years. Considering the development of AI technology on this planet, it should be obsolete in less than thirty years.

Lan sat down at the dining table and began to be served by the housekeeping robot while enjoying her dinner.

He was dressed in ordinary traveler's clothes, yet he blended in perfectly with the luxurious room, which in fact seemed somewhat unworthy of him.

He was like a king, entitled to be in a magnificent palace, using the most luxurious and exquisite tableware, and tasting the most delicious wine in the world.

He was indeed the future king of this country.

The AI ​​image on the screen bowed to him. Lan waved, and the AI ​​disappeared.

......

That night.

While Gao Tian was sleeping in the living room, he suddenly heard a faint tapping sound on the glass.

Gao Tian pushed off the blanket, sat up abruptly, and walked to the window.

It was still dark outside, but not so dark anymore; you could see a sliver of light coming through the sky. Water droplets pattered against the glass, forming thin streams that flowed down.

It's raining.

This is the first rain I've seen since arriving at Star 65.

Most of the Zerg disliked water and hid themselves away. Outside, all was silent; even the constant chirping of insects that had been ongoing since arriving on Planet 65 was gone.

The planet has fallen into a long-awaited peace.

......

The neighbor's neighbor.

......

Lan slept in the master bedroom.

He is truly the master of this country.

Any citizen would feel honored to learn that their house had hosted the Crown Prince.

After the housework robot cleaned, they changed the bedding.

Lan took the largest bedroom without hesitation.

He changed into a new set of pajamas, took a shower, and lay on the spacious bed, his silver hair flowing like mercury.

The terrace outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was pattering with raindrops.

He fell asleep peacefully to this gentle white noise.

.......

In the middle of the night.

The rain stopped.

The water receded, the dark clouds dispersed, and the light of distant stars shone upon the earth.

The air after the rain is fresh and pleasant, as if it has just been washed with water.

In this tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, tiny specks of fluorescent green light began to flicker among the trees, in the grass, and on the terrace of the villa.

These faint yet enchanting specks of light floated into the air, drifting leisurely, their starlight dazzling, like a dream.

They are fireflies!

Fireflies danced in the air, drawn towards the light.

Attracted by the lights of the blue villa, they all landed on the terrace outside the blue room.

The fireflies gathered in greater numbers, crowding and piling up together.

In no time, the entire terrace seemed to be covered with a layer of fluorescent green light.

It's like a sea of ​​stars falling to the ground.

Then, something unexpected happened.

These seemingly gentle and harmless fireflies suddenly raised their glowing tails, and then a faint mist drifted out from their tails.

Fireflies are actually carnivorous insects that rely on releasing toxins to paralyze their prey before dissolving and eating it.

The paralyzing toxin seeped silently through the air into Lan's room...

This muscle-dissolving toxin is ineffective against female Zerg. During the chaotic era of interstellar warfare, the Zerg were short of resources and even used firefly toxins as an anesthetic.

However, this anesthetic has a drawback—its unique muscle-dissolving effect can trigger premature ejaculation in females nearing the FQ stage.

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

......

Gao Tian was fast asleep when a sudden, inexplicable feeling of panic washed over him, waking him from his sleep.

He opened his eyes groggily, feeling his heart racing and a strange palpitation, as if something bad was about to happen.

This feeling made it impossible for him to fall asleep peacefully, and he sat up abruptly from the sofa again.

Gao Tian sat on the sofa, rubbed his eyes, and looked around, trying to figure out why he was so flustered.

No Zerg forces broke in.

I don't know why.

...That's very strange.

Perhaps due to the privilege of his global consciousness, he has always possessed an extraordinary and keen intuition when it comes to perceiving danger.

Filled with doubt and unease, Gao Tian stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the window, and pulled back the curtains to look outside.

Green lights twinkled everywhere in the night outside, and the stars were scattered all around.

They are fireflies.

Yes, fireflies are insects that prefer damp environments and often appear on nights after rain.

But Gao Tian knew very well that this was the 65th Star, which was once known as the meat grinder.

What harmless little creatures might be found in a meat grinder? The gentle, beautiful fireflies that never attack humans on Earth might not be so friendly here.

Just then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a bright green light shining in a certain direction. The light was so intense that it looked like a ghost, and it was even a little blinding.

Gao Tian was startled. He rushed to another window, looked in that direction, and then gasped.

The place where the green light shines brightly is the villa where Lan lives.

Now the place is almost completely covered by countless fireflies, and from a distance it looks like a haunted house emitting an eerie green light.
