Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

"Wait a minute," Jian Chi interrupted him. "Your Majesty, I have something to show you."

Perhaps Jian Chi's reaction had piqued his interest. Could he have some kind of backup plan?

He nodded.

"Alright, let me see." He wanted to see what tricks Jian Chi had up his sleeve.

Jian Chi removed the smart bracelet and had the other insects pass it on to His Majesty.

His Majesty took it and frowned upon seeing the time and location marked on the screen.

"What is this?"

"The time and location of the beast tides that are likely to break out in some areas of the Zerg in the next six months."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty's face darkened.

Do you even know what you're saying?

Jian Chi remained calm and composed, his expression gentle, honest, and sincere.

"I know, I swear by the Insect God."

Even though Jian Chi swore an oath to the Insect God, His Majesty still didn't believe it a million times as he looked at the content on the screen.

But His Majesty also thought of the messages that had come from various star systems over the past half month, and that the number of ferocious beasts had indeed increased significantly compared to the past.

"How did you find out?"

"I dreamt about it during my second evolution."

His Majesty frowned.

Indeed, some Zerglings experience a mental impact during their second evolution, causing them to dream about future events.

Even if you dream about it, it's usually very trivial, and you might even forget it as soon as you wake up. You'll only remember it when the event actually happens.

I've never had a dream as clear and complete as Jian Chi's.

Moreover, the closest time and location he marked was only two hours away.

If Jian Chi wanted to escape punishment by using this, he didn't need to write the time so recently.

"Are you really sure? Jian Chi, you need to understand that although you are a male insect, you have committed such a serious crime that there is absolutely no way you can escape."

If what you say is false, you may face even more severe punishment.

He won't die, but he'll suffer a fate worse than death.

Male insects like Jianchi, who have committed serious crimes, will be deprived of their freedom and become tools to appease other female insects.

Not only that, but they also had to pay grain at least three times a month.

As for the benefits that originally belonged to the male insect, naturally they were not there.

"I'm sure. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can wait two hours and see what happens."

His Majesty did not expect Jian Chi to take the initiative to propose it.

He stared at Jian Chi for a long time, then said in a deep voice, "Fine, then I'll give you two and a half hours."

It concerns the future of the Zerg, so he must proceed with caution.

The system couldn't hold back its excitement after witnessing this.

[I didn't expect the host to use this method to solve the problem. I thought...]

Jian Chi raised an eyebrow; needless to say, he knew what the system wanted to say.

Did you think I would choose to tell His Majesty my mental strength level directly?

【……Um.】

After all, Jian Chi's rank is what it is. If he were to speak out, let alone be punished, even if he injured His Majesty, His Majesty would probably laugh and say that it was a good thing he was injured!

The simplest solution is to state your mental strength level.

Once you tell them, you can go to the male insect medical center and ask them to find out if it's true or false.

Alternatively, instead of asking at the medical center, the palace has equipment for testing mental strength.

A quick test will tell you everything, saving you the hassle.

Jian Chi's lips curled into a smile.

This is indeed the simplest and quickest method, and it was indeed my initial plan.

However, after his trip to the hospital, he changed his mind.

Why?

Jian Chi did not reply.

Two and a half hours passed quickly, and His Majesty immediately sent Chong to make contact with the five generals.

The communication was established very quickly.

The general was stunned: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Has a beast tide broken out where you are?"

"A beast tide? No, this is the star system with the fewest beasts."

His Majesty's face darkened, and he stared at Jian Chi expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, you may wish to wait another ten minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait another ten minutes. Don't hang up."

The last three words were spoken to the five generals.

The general naturally responded, but he was also slightly curious as to why His Majesty would suddenly ask such a question, and who the other voice was...

Ten minutes passed quickly.

There was still no movement.

Just as His Majesty thought Jian Chi was lying, the Five Generals suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Majesty, my lieutenant general has sent me a message."

"Connected."

The five generals then established communication.

As soon as the call connected, a panicked voice cried out, "General, many ferocious beasts have appeared near Star Sael!"

Upon hearing this, the general frowned immediately, disregarding the emperor's presence, and asked in a deep voice, "How many were there? When did it erupt?"

"A lot! About ten minutes ago, our current troop strength is insufficient to hold them off. Please, General, send a few more squads!"

"Okay, I'll allocate them immediately..."

As the general calmly issued orders, His Majesty was stunned and shocked.

It's actually true!

He looked at Jian Chi in shock, but Jian Chi spoke up at that moment:

"Your Majesty, please convey to the five generals that it would be best to send some female soldiers who are more familiar with the manual operation mode of mechs over there."

His Majesty hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and decided to trust Jian Chi for the time being, so he issued this order to the generals of the five armies.

The general of the five armies did not quite understand this, but it was His Majesty's order, and he could only agree.

"But our five branches of the armed forces are relatively unfamiliar with the manual operation mode of mechs."

Not to mention the insects under his command, even he himself wasn't very familiar with them.

Only someone like Elvis, who strives for perfection in everything, could master even the mecha manual control mode so well.

After that, His Majesty hung up the communication.

He looked at Jian Chi, still somewhat surprised and uncertain, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Did you really dream about these things during your second evolution?"

"Absolutely true."

"What else did you dream about? And why did you choose to go to the party with the female soldier who's familiar with the mecha manual control mode?"

"Because among the ferocious beasts, there has emerged a beast capable of devouring the spiritual power of the Zerg."

Mental strength is the key to operating a mech freely; once mental strength is devoured, the consequences are unimaginable.

If you forcefully use your mental power at this time, it will lead to mental exhaustion and then a violent outburst.

After Jian Chi finished speaking, His Majesty remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he said, "I can temporarily refrain from convicting you if everything you've said is true. In that case, your merits will be enough to offset your demerits."

However, you must remain in the palace for the next six months.

"I want to leave. My queen, Elvis, is still waiting for me."

"Then bring him over too."

Jian Chi was unwilling.

He had little freedom in the palace and disliked this feeling of constraint.

But judging from His Majesty's attitude, he probably has no other choice.

After all, he was just a male insect with no power and a mental strength of only B.

In response, Jian Chi replied, "Your Majesty, I tested my mental strength level before coming here. You can exit the interface and ask the director of the Male Insect Medical Institute to send me a mental strength level test report."

Seeing Jian Chi's attitude, His Majesty frowned, exited the interface, and saw that a Director named Otto had sent a lot of messages.

The chat window was full of shocked exclamation marks. Scrolling up, there was indeed a photo.

Could it be that Jian Chi's second evolution enhanced his mental power?

Even if it's improved, the highest it can get is still an A.

Even a Grade A male insect wouldn't let Jianchi leave.

However, when he saw the test results, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.
