Chapter 69: The Zerg 3 “Which department does Custer study in?”…
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Arnold was stunned on the spot. He was a little surprised by Custer’s arrival, and then subconsciously glanced in Amoris’s direction.
In fact, through the terminal, Arnold already knew the news that he was matched with a young male from the Lanchester family. It’s just that he hadn’t taken this matter to heart before, so he naturally ignored Custer’s visit application on the terminal. This caused the current situation, making him in a dilemma for a while.
If Custer hadn’t introduced himself, he would have thought that some insect had illegally invaded his house. After all, as a Major General in the military, there are two identity authentications alone. A strange insect cannot enter without his permission.
Fortunately, Custer and Arnold now have a relationship. As Custer’s guiding insect, Arnold’s ownership is defaulted to Custer’s name, and all permissions are open to Custer. Only in this way can Custer pass the security verification to enter the house, otherwise, he would probably have to blow a cold wind outside the door for a while.
Amoris seemed to be extremely interested in the development of the matter. After receiving Arnold’s eyes as if asking for help, he just changed into a more cunning smile.
“What’s wrong? Is my arrival too abrupt?”
Seeing that Arnold didn’t speak for a long time, Custer didn’t blame him with a good temper, but looked at the inside of the hovercar along with Arnold’s line of sight.
The next moment, he was so surprised that he couldn’t speak.
“There’s someone in the car? Is it your fri…?”
The light in the hovercar was dim. Through the seat, Custer could see that there was indeed an insect sitting in the back row.
It was an overly beautiful sub-male.
From the day the male insect breaks out of its shell, the insect Texture on the eggshell will be transferred to them, starting from the position of the tail vertebrae on the back, extending all the way up, entwining the butterfly bones, then gradually covering the back of the neck, until it stops growing at the jaw. At the same time, this insect Texture also faintly emits a faint light in a dark environment.
This is also the way the Zerg can quickly distinguish male insects from sub-males by looking at their appearance.
What? What if the male insect doesn’t have insect Texture?
First of all, the possibility of this is very small, not to mention that the male insect’s insect Texture is linked to its mental power.
The stronger the male insect’s mental power, the more vivid the color of the insect Texture attached to its body, and the more continuous the strokes. Therefore, before the male insect awakens, by observing the insect Texture on their backs, you can basically know their mental power level after awakening.
Custer’s insect Texture is very complete and beautiful, and the color is a deep blue, so recently his awakening has attracted much attention from the insects.
However, occasionally a few male insects do not apply to this rule, but the difference between them is nothing more than changing from D-level to C-level. For the upper-level Zerg, it is not worth mentioning.
So, a male insect without insect Texture means that they have no mental power. And isn’t a male insect without mental power a waste?
At this time, is there any need to tangle over whether he is a male insect or a sub-male?
This is why Custer judged Amoris to be a sub-male.
It’s just that this sub-male seems to be too eye-catching. Even compared with those sub-males of the royal family, he is outstandingly beautiful. In front of him, other insects can only be reduced to foils.
How can the light of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the bright moon?
Slightly curly light golden long hair obediently draped over his shoulders. The beauty’s expression was lazy and comfortable, as if he was not in a hovercar, but in some magnificent palace.
Of course, he deserves this place. No, it should be said that only the most magnificent palace can match such a beauty.
In his deep blue eyes, there was full of curiosity. A faint smile was raised at the corners of his light pink lips. He just stared at Custer like this, making him unable to help but be intoxicated by it.
It’s like the only lake at the end of the world, so clean and clear that it looks like a mirror, which can only reflect the figure of you alone.
Custer couldn’t refuse this beauty.
After a long time, he came back to his senses.
Custer shook his head slightly, throwing the beautiful reveries out of his mind.
What was different from the beauty of this sub-male that made him intoxicated was that this insect in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of crisis.
It was as if everything that belonged to him would be taken away.
In an instant, jealousy surged into Custer’s heart. He didn’t know why, a noble male insect like him had to demean himself and compare himself with a sub-male without status.
Unfortunately, after a comparison, Custer found that he seemed to be inferior to this sub-male in every aspect.
Even his most proud golden long hair looked like dry straw when compared with the sub-male’s.
At this moment, the sub-male seemed to have noticed Custer’s gaze and finally opened his mouth, but not to Custer.
“Arnold, who is this?”
Unexpectedly, the sub-male’s opening made Custer even more ashamed.
His voice was like the clear spring in the mountain stream in the morning, with a trace of hazy mist; like the flowing stream after the ice and snow melted, with the chilling breath of ice and snow.
Through Arnold’s mouth, Custer learned the name of the sub-male in front of him—
Amoris.
A very nice name.
Custer even had such an impulse, breaking everything he had experienced in the past twenty years.
——Let Amoris become his female servant.
In the Zerg, it is normal for a male insect to have multiple female servants.
Amoris Lanchester, that sounds good too, doesn’t it?
“Your Highness Custer?”
Arnold’s voice interrupted Custer’s fantasy.
“What’s wrong?” A hint of panic was revealed in Custer’s voice. He looked at Arnold with a trace of dissatisfaction and guilt, but it soon disappeared and was well hidden by him.
However, this naturally could not deceive Arnold. As a Major General in the military, observing the expressions of the enemy was his compulsory course, so he naturally did not miss the unnaturalness in Custer’s eyes and well captured that strange emotion.
Because of this, he was a little confused.
What is the male insect dissatisfied with? Is it because of his negligence?
Thinking of this, Arnold turned to smile mockingly at himself. That’s right, a male insect who is so sought after has never been so neglected. He must be about to attack soon.
He had seen many female insects being punished by male insects, leaving terrible scars on their bodies. Even those male insects who were declared kind by the outside world were merciless when punishing female insects.
He just didn’t know which type Custer was. Arnold had heard a lot about the rumors about Custer’s character. He quietly looked at the male insect in front of him.
Then he raised his right hand and placed it in front of his chest, bowed slightly, and the words of apology had just condensed on his lips, but were interrupted by a voice from behind.
“You are Custer?”
Hearing this, Arnold and Custer turned their gazes at the same time.
Amoris stepped out of the hovercar. What came into view first were his slender and straight calves. He got out of the car and crossed Arnold’s position, standing in front of Custer and blocking most of Custer’s original gaze towards Arnold.
“You are Custer?” Amoris repeated again.
Custer – an annoying fellow. Amoris chewed on this name repeatedly in his heart. The malice belonging to the original owner spread infinitely, but he did not show it on his face. All he had was doubt about the strange insect.
Previously, Arnold didn’t seem to intend to introduce Custer to Amoris, so Amoris didn’t pay attention to the movement outside the car until Arnold called out the name “Custer”.
He originally thought that the male lead in the original plot, Custer, who replaced his position, would be more eye-catching, at least in appearance.
But now it seems, that’s all.
Moreover, the way he looked at him was exactly the same as those male insects in the auction, which was really disgusting.
In fact, Custer’s appearance is not bad among the male insects. He is much taller than the average male insects, with golden long hair, blue eyes, and small dimples on the corners of his mouth when he smiles, which are all his plus points.
It’s just that all of this is not enough in front of Amoris.
One is God’s darling, and the other is like a rough counterfeit.
Facts have proved that Custer still could not resist being bewitched by Amoris’s beauty. He didn’t even care that Amoris’s address to him was missing the word “Your Highness”. Of course, it is also possible that he did not notice it at all.
In the Zerg, the names of male insects must be followed by the word “Your Highness”. There was a precedent for female insects being punished by male insects because of negligence.
“Yes, I am Custer of the Lanchester family.”
In front of Amoris, Custer was like a peacock spreading its tail frantically, trying to show everything about him.
It’s a pity that none of the remaining two insects here appreciated him.
Amoris was even more annoyed by the name Custer. The original plot did not say that the male lead was such an inexplicably stupid fellow.
Who doesn’t know that the Lanchester family is now declining and is about to become an empty shell, with only superficial dignity left, so they found Arnold, a non-noble military female, as Custer’s guiding insect.
No one paid attention to him. Custer scratched his head awkwardly. He had heard that Arnold was naturally cold, and as for Amoris, Custer instantly made up a reason for him.
A small sub-male from a remote planet who has not seen much of the world, was brought to the Imperial Star by Arnold for some reason. When he suddenly saw a noble male insect like him, he could not react for a while and was just shy.
Custer then looked up at Amoris, trying to find a hint of shyness in his eyes.
Unfortunately, there was none.
Custer continued to find excuses for himself. It must be that Amoris was too nervous and forgot to react at all.
Custer tried to find some different expressions in Amoris’s beautiful eyes, but suddenly found that his neck was a little sore.
When Amoris was sitting in the hovercar before, he didn’t notice it. When the two got closer, Custer realized that Amoris was half a head taller than him. This led to Custer having to look up when talking to Amoris.
Arnold: “Your Highness Custer, is there anything else?”
In fact, this way of driving away male insects is quite disrespectful in the Zerg, but generally no female insects would do this. If male insects are willing to come to their home as guests, they would be happy, so how could they have the idea of driving away male insects?
However, Custer was completely unaware of it. On the contrary, he was quite grateful to Arnold for saving his neck.
The reason why Arnold did this was just because he was upset that Custer kept staring at Amoris.
At that moment, an inexplicable impulse made him blurt out like this. After calming down, he found that he couldn’t find the reason for that impulse.
It was like missing the answer, and after reacting, he realized that the flash of inspiration had now dissipated with the wind and could not be grasped.
Custer: “The thing is like this. Two weeks later, my male father will hold a banquet for me. He hopes I can bring you along, after all, you are my guiding insect now.”
“And… Amoris.” Custer moved his gaze slightly to the right and looked at Amoris again, “I hope you can also attend. I would be very happy if you could come.”
For male insects, Custer’s words are a great honor for female insects. If it were other insects, they would have been so happy that they couldn’t find the north and agreed repeatedly.
When Arnold heard Custer say the words “guiding insect”, he subconsciously felt a little guilty for some reason, and his eyes flickered unnaturally, eventually falling on Amoris.
As for Amoris, even he himself was a little confused.
How did things develop to this point? Amoris didn’t know. He and the other two pairs of eyes stared at each other, and finally dropped a sentence:
“Of course, with pleasure.”
After receiving Amoris’s affirmative answer, Custer finally left, and Arnold was finally able to continue with his original plan.
After some reluctance, Amoris successfully moved into Arnold’s house.
He has insects, and Arnold has a house. It’s perfect.
In this way, the two insects began to live together. Arnold went to work during the day, and Amoris either went shopping or watched TV during the day.
Of course, his original plan was not like this. In order to repay Arnold for not letting him sleep on the streets, Amoris contracted all the housework at home.
Unfortunately, there are housekeeping robots for sweeping and laundry, so Amoris couldn’t get involved at all. He also planned to show Arnold his skills at dinner, but the next day, Arnold’s newly bought cooking robot and ten boxes of nutritional liquid gift packages arrived.
Amoris was silent.
Nutritional liquid is recognized by the Zerg as the most unpalatable thing. Amoris frowned and took out the leftover dinner from yesterday from the refrigerator with extreme suspicion.
Unpalatable? I don’t believe it.
Take a bite, frown, spit it out, see the trash can.
So this led to Amoris having nothing to do recently, except lying down or just being paralyzed.
Arnold naturally noticed it too.
So this day –
Arnold was as usual nestled on the sofa watching TV when he suddenly felt a shadow cast in front of him.
Arnold put a few documents in front of Amoris in Amoris’s puzzled eyes.
His tone was a little hesitant: “Do you want to go to school?”
“Go to school?”
Arnold had read Amoris’s information and that perfunctory physical examination report. He knew that the other party’s background was not good and may not have experienced much education, but according to his age, now is the age to go to school.
Custer is about the same age as Amoris and is now studying at the Imperial First Academy.
That’s why Arnold asked Amoris’s thoughts, but at the same time, he was worried that Amoris would not be able to keep up with the progress, and would it be counterproductive instead.
Amoris didn’t think as much as Arnold. He casually took the information. The first one was an introduction to the Imperial First Academy.
He remembered that in the plot, Custer studied at this academy.
Later, Arnold will also come to this academy as an instructor, and this plot node greatly promoted the relationship between the two.
Amoris’s interested gaze swept over Arnold, and then he looked up and asked: “Which department does Custer study in?”
