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

On the day of the official release of the holographic version of "Rolling Adventures", tickets were hard to come by at major cinemas.

The vast majority of the first wave of moviegoers came to see Lin Luo.

The story was conceived by you personally, your most beloved panda is the protagonist, and you strongly recommend it on the StarNet. These points alone are enough to make countless female insects willingly open their wallets.

(Inside the cinema, the female insects put on holographic devices, and their consciousness sank into a world made up of bamboo forests, streams, and warm sunlight.)

When the first group of viewers regained their senses and slowly removed their devices, many of them still had a lingering sense of disorientation on their faces.

They had just experienced a dream that felt far too real.

On StarNet, discussions about the movie exploded instantly, but this time, it wasn't just simple "I support you," but rather heartfelt sharing:

I...I think I just touched the feathers of that chubby bird named "Tuan Tuan," they were so soft...

When they finally placed the wreath on Gun Gun's head together, my nose actually started to sting? The last time I cried was when you whipped me...

[...It feels so strange. I'd do anything for my friends. Despite my frail body, I dare to roar at the mighty Demon King...]

[I never imagined that the reason for fighting could be something other than becoming stronger, or winning your favor, but simply... to protect the smiles of my comrades behind me.]

After watching it, I felt warm inside, as if something had filled me up. It felt a little strange, but... I didn't dislike it.

These shares quickly infected more insects.

More and more female insects entered the cinema not just out of admiration for Lin Luo, but out of curiosity.

They rolled around in the bamboo forest with the chubby protagonist, feeling the coolness of the stream; they put their arms around the animal companions in the story and shared food;

During the final battle, they couldn't help but roar alongside the protagonist against the forces of darkness;

When victory arrived and the sun shone brightly on the earth again, as all the characters embraced and cheered, many female insects in the holographic image subconsciously reached out their hands, wanting to touch that pure joy.

This is an unprecedented experience.

For female insects accustomed to using strength, rank, and male preferences as the guiding principles for their behavior, this world without distinction between males and females, and only deep bonds between partners, is like an overly bright and warm light that suddenly shines into their dark and monotonous spiritual world.

Reason told them it was just a fairy tale, but their senses and emotions faithfully recorded every laugh, every moment of emotion, and every moment of exhilarating camaraderie.

"It feels strange, but at least I don't dislike it, and I even... like it a little." This is the true feeling of many female insects.

The sharing frenzy on StarNet is growing stronger, and the keywords have gradually changed from the initial "Lord Lin Luo" and "Gun Gun" to "friendship", "courage", "protection" and "that world".

"The Adventures of Rolling Insects" is no longer just a movie; it seems to have become a phenomenon. More and more insects are attracted by this brand-new worldview. Unable to find an outlet in reality, they become increasingly immersed in the virtual world.

This place has become a spiritual utopia where female insects can briefly escape reality and experience another possibility.

The double explosion of box office and word-of-mouth for "Rolling Adventures" far exceeded Lin Luo's most optimistic predictions. Even director Ryan, who had high expectations for it, was overwhelmed by this wave.

Lin Luo even broke into the top ten of the annual box office revenue list with this!

This made Lin Luo very doubtful: was the Zerg's culture and entertainment really that bad?

Although this movie is somewhat special, it is different from mainstream ideas, so how did it manage to make it into the top ten?

"What's so hard to understand?" Theodore slowly put down his cup, lazily lifting his eyelids to look at him.

"What you call the mainstream is that female insects fight here and there, serving as soldiers and then generals, with the constant threat of mental energy surges along the way. Finally, after overcoming countless hardships, they become generals or marshals."

"Or perhaps after serving as a soldier, one might be fortunate enough to be taken in as a female queen or female servant by a male insect, and then begin the process of fighting for the male insect's favor and trying to conceive."

He scoffed, "Eating the same dish for hundreds of years would make even a nutritional supplement tiresome. Your movie, at least, is a fresh dish. And, let me tell you a secret..."

Theodore leaned forward slightly, his tone slightly mocking, "As far as I know, there are quite a few males who like your movie."

"Huh? Why?" Lin Luo was genuinely surprised this time.

"It's because there aren't any male insects in your movies!" Theodore rarely complained, his resentment running high.

"Those mainstream movies are basically made by female insects for female insects to watch. The male insects in them are all the same, either wielding whips or using torture instruments. The methods of torturing female insects are comparable to dismembering star beasts."

"What about males like me who don't like to mess with females, and those with relatively gentle methods? Besides, the main characters aren't males. It's so boring to watch a bunch of females fighting and killing each other."

He pointed to the poster of the rolling creature frozen on the screen: "Yours is much better. Although the main characters are animals, at least they're not female insects. The story isn't all about fighting and killing either. It's lighthearted and fun. Isn't it good for killing time?"

"Hey? Don't you guys have any romance movies? Like those with a male and a female as the main characters?" He thought that given the insectoid race's adoration for male insects, there should at least be stories like "a domineering male insect falls in love with me".

"Love?" Theodore's handsome face showed confusion, then he understood. "You mean like you and Aland, you met, and then you fell in love with him?"

"Ahem... It's about the emotional changes and stories between male and female insects from the moment they meet until they mate." Lin Luo did not deny it.

Theodore tilted his head and thought for a moment. "The vast majority don't. Usually, female insects use contribution points to exchange for dating opportunities with male insects. If the male insects think it's suitable, they will mate. As for changes in feelings..."

Theodore thought of himself and Voske, "...maybe after we get married."

"Is that so..." Lin Luo stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

He had previously focused only on the Zerg's cutting-edge film technology, leaving the market aspect almost entirely to Ryan.

Now it seems that this vast cultural wasteland can be put to use.

"Ding~" The computer notification sounded.

An electronic invitation with a thick texture and dark energy patterns inlaid on the edges popped up from Lin Luo's computer.

The invitation's design is understated yet luxurious. Apart from the time and location, there is only one eye-catching emblem—a symbol of "Starry Auction House"—made of interwoven stars and a scepter.

Lin Luo clicked on the invitation with some doubt and browsed through the contents. When he saw the sentence on the invitation, "Only distinguished guests with outstanding assets and high reputation are invited," he belatedly realized that he seemed to have already acquired considerable assets and had stumbled into this top circle of the empire.

"Hey, an invitation from Starshine?" Theodore appeared out of nowhere, glancing at the screen. "Voske got one too. What do you think, are you going? If you are, I'll have Voske take me with him."

Lin Luo tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his gaze falling on the vague preview of the auction items on the invitation, especially noting the words "rare potion" and "ancient relic".

He recalled the still-dead spiritual sea of ​​Eland.

"Go." Lin Luo looked up, his eyes now more serious. "Why not? What if... we're lucky and find something useful for Ailand?"

A few days later, Lin Luo arrived at the auction house with Theodore and Voske and headed towards the private box.

A figure blocked their path; it was Carlos, who had clearly been waiting there for some time.

"It's been a long time, Lord Linluo." Carlos said with a fake smile and a sarcastic tone.

"Thanks to you, I've had a rather... 'pleasant' time at the Xiongbao Association."

Lin Luo stared at the face that clearly showed malice for a moment, then realized that it was Carlos. He had been too busy lately and had forgotten about him.

As a result, Lin Luo's brief recollection and sudden realization completely enraged Carlos.

He regarded Lin Luo as a mortal enemy who had to be trampled underfoot, but the other party actually... actually didn't take him seriously at all?!

A surge of blood rushed to Carlos's head, and he almost lost control of his expression, but he held back, for he still had important business to attend to.

He will make Lin Luo pay the price for this contempt sooner or later, so that he will never be able to ignore him again!

He forcefully steered the conversation back on track, raising his voice so that even the insects subtly observing the area could hear him:

"Lord Lin Luo, I heard that Major General Ailand's mental sea suffered a devastating blow? Tsk tsk, I'm afraid he'll never recover?"

Lin Luo's face instantly darkened, and his sharp gaze turned to Carlos:

"I suppose you have neither medical expertise nor any experience in treating mental illnesses. Whether or not Aland can recover is none of your business."

Theodore and Voske also frowned, looking at Carlos who was clearly there to cause trouble, and felt that his behavior was strangely inexplicable.
