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

"Who else could it be? It's the one you're thinking of," Theodore added jokingly.

"Go check it out, the video's gone viral right now." With that, he seemed to have achieved his goal and ended the call in high spirits.

Lin Luo's heart jumped, and he couldn't care less about the design drawings anymore. He immediately switched to the StarNet interface.

There's no need to search specifically; the top trending topic on the homepage is prominently displayed as "#His Excellency Carlos's Declaration of Empress#".

He clicked on the topic, and the first thing he saw was Carlos's live stream replay. He clicked on the video, and the face of that male insect that left such a bad impression on him appeared on the screen. It was the same arrogant guy from the last car accident!

Looking at Carlos's condescending attitude, as if bestowing a great favor, and listening to him speak to Eland in a condescending tone,

Lin Luo was so angry at the words "I allow you to become my queen" and "I grant you special permission to continue in your post" that she gritted her teeth and unconsciously clenched her fists.

"That arrogant jerk! He's a lunatic! What makes him think he's so special?! Who does he think he is?!"

Lin Luo couldn't help but curse at the screen.

"How dare he even dream of Eland?! How could that brutal insect be worthy of Eland!"

"So what if she's A-rank? How is Ailand unworthy of being A-rank?!"

A surge of anger welled up inside him, but then unease and a vague sense of unease quickly followed.

He knew how submissive the female Zerg were to the males, and how difficult it was for a male to refuse their demands, especially the allure of the "queen" position... Would Ailand......

Lin Luo's heart clenched, and he almost held his breath, staring intently at Ailand's cold profile in the video, waiting for his response.

In the video, Ailand paused for a moment, "But... I can only thank you again for your kindness..."

I refused!

Eland refused without hesitation!

"Phew—" Lin Luo let out a long, long sigh of relief, almost collapsing onto the sofa cushions.

Fortunately, Ayland did not agree.

His Elland wouldn't be fooled by the sweet talk of those trashy male insects!

As evening approached and people were leaving get off work, the area in front of the military compound became lively again, with a subtle excitement permeating the air.

A silver-gray hovercar was parked in a parking space near the gate, but what was more eye-catching than the car was the figure leaning against it.

Lin Luo was dressed casually and relaxed. The golden rays of the setting sun fell on him, as if coating him with a warm halo.

The female soldiers coming and going saw him almost as soon as they came out, and their faces showed expressions of disbelief.

Many female soldiers slowed their pace and respectfully saluted and greeted him, their tone filled with joy: "Good day, Your Excellency Lin Luo!"

Lin Luo responded cheerfully to each question: "Off work?" "Thank you for your hard work!"

As the female soldiers walked, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves; today's excitement had been coming in waves.

"Look! It's Lord Lin Luo!"

"You've come to pick up Major General Ailand, haven't you? You must be!"

"There was a declaration of 'female ruler' from Lord Carlos at noon, and then Lord Linlu came to pick him up in person this afternoon... Isn't the implication too obvious?"

"Lord Lin Luo's smile is so beautiful; he seems to be in a very good mood."

Seeing Lin Luo waiting for the major general so happily, many female soldiers felt a surge of jealousy again.

"What exactly makes Major General Ailand... to be treated like this by the two gentlemen..."

A lieutenant colonel named Brady couldn't help but mutter a complaint to his colleagues.

He too had impressive military achievements and considered himself to be of good standing. Looking at Lord Lin Luo's warm smile in the sunlight, a burning desire stirred within him.

"Do you think... I should also try submitting a date request? What if Lord Lin Luo agrees?"

His colleagues looked at him as if he were a fool and quickly lowered their voices to dissuade him:

"Are you crazy? There's a limit to dreams! Major General Ailand is still Lord Linluo's legal guardian!"

All dating applications submitted to Lord Lin Luo have the first line of review authority in his hands!

Do you even want to stay in the fleet? Believe me, he could send you to mine on a border planet tomorrow!

The colleague took a breath and continued, "Moreover, the guardian insect has the right to reject any application directly on the grounds of 'inappropriateness' or 'affecting the life of the ward,' without even giving it a chance to be presented to Lord Lin Luo!"

If I don't get the date and also offend my boss, wouldn't I lose everything?

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Brady felt as if he had been doused with cold water. His feverish mind instantly cooled down, and he glanced enviously in Lin Luo's direction one last time, forcefully suppressing the unrealistic desire in his heart.

"Sigh, you're right... Let's go."

Just then, Major General Eland and Lieutenant Hawke walked out of the building one after the other.

The moment Ailand emerged, he spotted the smiling male insect.

Seeing Lin Luo waving vigorously at him with a bright smile on his face, Ailand's eyes softened, and his cold aura seemed to melt away a little by the spring breeze.

He nodded slightly to Hawke, then strode towards Lin Luo.

"Sir," he walked to the car, looked at Lin Luo, and unconsciously softened his voice, "what brings you here?"

"I'm off work, I've come to pick you up!" Lin Luo smiled, his eyes crinkling, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He patted the passenger seat of the hovercar.

"Get in the car!" He can now drive the hovercar on his own.

As instructed, Ayland got into the car, and the hovercar smoothly drove away from the military headquarters.

In the car, Lin Luo seemed to suddenly remember something and said:

"By the way, Dr. Parks contacted me today, reminding us that it's about time for our next mental calming threshold test. He said the data needs to be updated regularly for greater accuracy. How about tonight? Are you available?"

Ayland suddenly realized that he had been so busy with military affairs lately that he had almost forgotten about it: "Okay." He was not opposed to spiritual contact with Lin Luo.

Soon they returned home, had a simple dinner, and then prepared to begin the test.

At this moment, the panda, having heard the commotion, slowly crawled back from the backyard, its thick fur still covered with a few blades of grass.

It now completely considers this place its own territory.

It climbed onto the soft carpet in the living room with great familiarity, found a spot not too far from Lin Luo, spread out like a thick blanket, and began to leisurely nibble on its paws, its bright black eyes curiously observing them.

"Ailander... um... Dr. Parks said that in order to measure the threshold more accurately, there needs to be more skin contact this time..." Lin Luo stammered as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ailand paused, looked at Lin Luo, and said calmly, "It's alright, I know."

"Then...you should take it off first?"
