Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

In that post, the author mentioned that they didn't know why Elvis's mental strength had declined.

Therefore, this is simply an analysis from a doctor's perspective.

Under normal circumstances, the level of mental power will be determined after the first evolution.

Although female insects also undergo secondary evolution, like male insects, it is rare for secondary evolution to increase their mental power level.

Once your mental strength level is determined, it will generally not increase or decrease further.

Of course, exceptions exist.

What special circumstances?

One is that excessive stimulation can lead to an increase or decrease in mental strength.

Secondly, using illegal drugs can temporarily boost one's mental strength, but the side effect of these drugs is that they can cause a decrease in mental strength.

There is a third theory: if a male and female insect mate multiple times when they are so in love that they are willing to give their lives for each other, it will gradually enhance their spiritual power.

However, the third scenario is a legend, and the Zerg have never experienced such a situation, so it is not included in the calculation.

Therefore, there are only two ways for Elvis to restore his mental strength.

They either get stimulated or use drugs.

The medication has side effects, so remove it.

That leaves only excitement.

However, each insect has different sensory perceptions and levels of stimulation. As for Elvis, only he himself knows what constitutes stimulation.

In the original story, Elvis's mental strength never recovered to double S until he died from a mental breakdown.

However, Jian Chi was not concerned with how to restore Elvis's mental strength.

What he cared about were the replies from other users under that post.

They were all guessing what had caused Elvis's mental decline.

What caused Elvis's mental decline?

[Didn't the host receive all the plot details...?]

The plot only mentions that it might be related to a ferocious beast.

"Yes, that's all..." the system said, sounding rather guilty.

After all, Elvis's mental strength had already declined at the beginning of the story, and the original text did not explain this.

Later in the book, it was mentioned only briefly that it might be related to a ferocious beast.

This is because a large number of female military officers and S-class female military officers died due to mental power surges later on, and the original text only mentioned that it was very likely the same reason.

However, this is, after all, a sweet little story, and mentioning it even once means there's really nothing more to write about.

Therefore, the original text ended quickly after that battle.

"..."

Good, very good, as expected of a sweet romance novel.

[Does the host have any other requests?]

Can you fulfill any request I make?

The system immediately fell silent.

Weak, pitiful, and helpless.

Forget it, I'll just ask Elvis tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Jian Chi sent a message to Hani, asking if Hani was free these two days.

the next day.

Jian Chi went downstairs and smelled the aroma of food.

The round table was laden with dishes.

He was somewhat surprised.

"My lord, you're awake. Good morning."

Elvis came out of the kitchen carrying dishes, wearing the same white and gold military uniform that Jian Chi had seen before.

Perhaps because he was able to go to the military today, Elvis looked to be in very good condition, and his pale face had regained some luster.

Like a stray cat that has been taken in and finally found its owner.

[Trigger scenario: Send a message to Elvis threatening him that if he doesn't come back tonight, he'll face the consequences. Five minutes allowed.]

This should be from the original text, where Elvis was rescued but never returned, nor does he intend to.

That's why the original owner sent such a threatening message to Elvis.

At this moment, Elvis placed the dishes on the table and explained apologetically:

"My lord, I won't be back for lunch and won't be able to cook for you, so I've prepared this in advance. I'll try to come back as early as possible tonight so you won't have to wait too long."

"..."

Although I already knew that the system released scenarios based on time, I was still quite speechless.

"Good morning."

Jian Chi sat down speechlessly, took out his smart bracelet, and sent a message to Elvis.

When Elvis received the notification, he knew it was from Jian Chi and was stunned.

He set different signals for the message to the male ruler, so he knew as soon as he received it.

He glanced at Jian Chi, then turned on his smart bracelet.

Jian Chi: If you don't come back tonight, you'll face the consequences!

"...?" Elvis was bewildered.

Didn't he just tell the male ruler that he would be back early tonight?

However, considering that the actions of a powerful ruler can sometimes be quite strange, he put aside his doubts.

The fact that the powerful ruler wanted him to return sooner suggests that he was also reluctant to part with him.

She pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Then he replied to Jian Chi: Okay, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely come back.

Elvis sat down next to him.

Jian Chi picked up a steamed bun and looked at Elvis: "There's something I'm a little curious about."

"What is it?"

"How did your mental strength decline?"

Elvis paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and fell silent.

He seemed reluctant to answer.

Is there something wrong?

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to talk about it." Elvis hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I don't know how to say it, because I don't know how my mental strength declined."

All he remembered was that day he piloted his mech into a horde of ferocious beasts and rescued the female soldiers of his three armies.

However, he also fainted due to excessive mental exertion.

When he woke up again, his mental strength had somehow dropped to A.

"What about the female soldiers you rescued? What did they say?"

"They all fainted too."

"Their mental strength..."

"It has also decreased."

Jian Chi seemed to be deep in thought.

Therefore, it is very likely that Elvis did not suffer any kind of stimulation.

If only Elvis's mental strength declines, it could be due to either being stimulated or being tricked by other insects into taking illegal drugs.

However, if mental strength has almost completely decreased, then this possibility is very small.

Upon learning this, Jian Chi lost much of his interest.

He thought it was some kind of conspiracy or trickery.

After finishing breakfast, Elvis said goodbye to Jian Chi.

"My lord, I'm going to the army."

"Okay, go ahead."

Jian Chi waved his hand, intending to return to his room, when he suddenly remembered something and looked at Elvis.

"Elvis, were you outside my room last night?"

Upon hearing this, Elvis immediately panicked.

No, I didn't.

He denied it, but his ears quickly turned red and his cheeks flushed crimson.

Fortunately, his expression remained calm enough.

"My lord, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he left rather embarrassedly without waiting for Jian Chi's reply.

Elvis practically ran away.

Even after boarding the aircraft, my cheeks were still burning hot.

He hadn't expected that even though he was being so gentle last night, the male master would still be able to detect it.

Thinking about himself last night... Elvis's cheeks burned even hotter.

After arriving at the army base, his burning cheeks finally stopped burning.

As soon as he stepped off the aircraft, a female soldier noticed him and immediately widened her eyes.

"Up, up, up..."
