Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

Fortunately, our savior arrived just in time.

"What are you all doing standing around here?! Don't you have any tasks? Have you finished your drill training?!"

Lieutenant Colonel Hawke's booming voice rang out as he quickly pushed his way through the crowd, standing in front of Lin Luo and scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.

"Go do what you were doing! Anyone who continues to crowd around and disturb you will be dealt with as a disciplinary violation!"

Hawke's authority was clearly effective. Although the female soldiers were extremely reluctant to leave, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, only turning back every few steps, their whispers spreading like a tide.

Hawke then turned around and gave Lin Luo an apologetic smile:

"Your Excellency, I am very sorry, they were just too excited and had no intention of offending you. This way, please. The Major General's office is this way." He respectfully led the way.

"It's okay, I understand." Lin Luo breathed a sigh of relief and followed Hawke, still feeling the intense gazes coming from all directions.

Hawke tried to ease the tension as he walked:

"Why did you come here so suddenly, sir? Is there something you need?"

Lin Luo lifted the lunchbox in her hand, smiling somewhat embarrassedly:

"Nothing much, just came to see Ailand and brought him some lunch."

Hawke's gaze fell on the insulated lunchbox, his pupils dilated slightly, and his mind screamed wildly:

Delivering lunch?! Your Excellency personally delivered lunch to the Major General?! Is this really something a male insect would do?!

But he still tried to remain calm on the surface: "I-I see. The Major General will be very happy to know that you are here."

Behind them, barely suppressed murmurs could be heard:

"Did you see that? Did you see that? You're so tall!"

"He looks even better than he does on the live stream! He just smiled at me!"

"I have no regrets in this life..."

"Is that a lunchbox he's holding? Is he delivering food to the major general? Am I hallucinating?"

"A guardian... I admit I'm jealous of the Major General's treatment!"

"Isn't it obvious? Throughout history, which guardian insect hasn't eventually become the queen of the guarded male!"

"Those near the water get the moon first; the major general has a clever mind!"

"Alright, alright, let's get back to training! If I keep watching like this, I'm afraid I'll lose my temper and apply for a transfer to the Seventh Fleet!"

"Stop dreaming, brother. Even if we don't get a major general, it won't be our turn..."

Lin Luo couldn't hear these comments clearly, but Hawke's lips twitched slightly as he listened. He could only quicken his pace and lead Lin Luo to the major general's office.

Standing in front of Eland's office door, Hawke respectfully knocked, and Eland responded from inside: "Come in."

The door opened, and Lin Luo walked in carrying a lunchbox.

Ailand's office, like him, was simple and austere. His huge desk was piled with documents, the side wall was covered with a real-time star map, and there were potted plants on the windowsill.

When Lin Luo entered, Ailand looked up from his documents, his gaze falling on the lunchbox in Lin Luo's hand, and he paused slightly.

"What brings you here?" He stood up and walked around the desk.

"I brought you lunch!" Lin Luo smiled, holding up the lunchbox. "Try it, this is what I've accomplished today!"

With a hint of smugness in his voice, he pulled Ailand to the nearby rest area, opened the lunchbox layer by layer, and the tempting aroma of the food immediately filled the office.

The two insects sat down facing each other and began to eat. Ailand carefully tasted each dish, and the taste was indeed very good, even the cooking time was more precise.

"It's delicious," Eland put down his chopsticks, looked at Lin Luo, his icy blue eyes full of seriousness, "Your cooking skills have improved very quickly."

Upon receiving affirmation, Lin Luo's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.

Eland paused:

"However, wouldn't cooking all the time be too tiring?"

Actually, once the recipe steps and seasoning amounts are completely finalized, they can be entered into the smart home system's program. After that, you only need to prepare the ingredients, and it can automatically complete the cooking, saving you time and effort.

"Huh? You can do that?" Lin Luo exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

He suddenly realized that this was another way to do it, and that he might not be able to keep it up if he cooked every day.

Lunch ended in a relaxed atmosphere. After packing up the lunchboxes, Ailand took Linlu to visit the military headquarters. Ailand deliberately chose a relatively quiet route with fewer female soldiers.

The two walked slowly side by side down the wide, cold metal corridor, with Ailand pointing out the facilities they saw along the way to Lin Luo:

"This is the main area of ​​the Strategic Analysis Department, and that passageway leads to the senior officer training ground, equipped with the latest gravity simulation system... The tower in the distance is the interstellar communication hub..."

Occasionally, you might encounter one or two groups of female soldiers on patrol or heading to the training ground.

When they saw the male insect beside Major General Ailand, they were both shocked and excited, but they strictly adhered to discipline, immediately stopping and respectfully bowing to the two men.

"Major General! Lord Lin Luo!" Her eyes couldn't help but secretly follow Lin Luo's figure until they were far away.

Lin Luo nodded in response to them in a friendly manner.

He listened attentively to Ailand's introduction, and as they walked, Lin Luo casually asked:

"Eland, have you always aspired to be a general since you were a child?"

Aylander paused for a few seconds: "I was influenced by my female father."

"Is your father also a military woman? He must be very powerful." Lin Luo continued.

"Hmm." Eland's gaze drifted into the distance, seemingly lost in some memory.

"He was an excellent commander. During a border sweep, his fleet encountered a rare attack by a horde of star beasts."

To cover the retreat of the then-Major General, now Field Marshal Arnold, and the main force, he led his men to cover the rear... Ultimately, he and his entire fleet never returned.

"I'm sorry..." Lin Luo apologized softly, not expecting to stir up the other person's sad memories.

Eland shook his head: "I was very young then, and my memories of him are already very vague."

Later, it was the marshal who personally established a pension fund, enabling orphans of fallen officers like myself to receive proper care and education, and grow up safely.” He paused, then added,

"I am very grateful to the Marshal."

As Lin Luo listened, a question suddenly occurred to him. He hesitated for a moment, but still asked it:

"And what about your father?"

In his view, even if the male insect is cold and cruel, shouldn't it still have some responsibility for its offspring?

Eland didn't seem to mind, explaining:

"I have no male father. I was conceived by a female father through the Imperial Sperm Bank. This is the most common choice for many female soldiers who never get the favor of a male insect in their lives and want to have offspring."

Lin Luo suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

"So, the Marshal is your benefactor?"

Lin Luo asked, "Should I pay him a formal visit to thank him?"

"No need."

Eland replied, "The Marshal's support was limited to funds to ensure we wouldn't be displaced. I never met him before I was promoted to major general based on my military achievements."

Lin Luo nodded, understanding the nuances involved.

The two continued walking slowly down the quiet corridor, sunlight streaming through the huge domed glass windows and casting long shadows on the floor.

A heavy past was gently turned over during this stroll and casual conversation.

"Your Mightiness"

"Um?"

"If you encounter a male insect that unreasonably offends you, please don't be too lenient."

"Be modest? Don't you have some misunderstanding about me? When I start cursing... cough, even I'm scared of myself when I curse insects!"

"......That's good"

......
