Zerg: After being rescued by the Major General, I pledged myself to him.

"Ring ring—"

When Yan Mo heard the doorbell, he asked Xiao Yuan, who was helping him, to open the door.

"The ingredients I ordered from StarNet should have arrived."

He had been at Lanze's house for several days since he came from the hospital. At first, he was worried about how to get along with Lanze, but later he found that Lanze had not come back and he was not uncomfortable living alone here.

After registering new identity information, the Male Insect Protection Association will transfer the male insect subsidies from the previous twenty-odd years to Yanmo's account in one lump sum. In addition, there will be a fixed subsidy every month.

Looking at the balance of several zeros in his account, Yan Mo couldn't help but sigh that this place really treated male insects too well.

He has been buying daily necessities and food in the past few days and has learned about the prices of insects. The subsidies issued by the Male Insect Protection Association alone are enough to ensure that he has enough to eat and wear.

However, the Zerg's nutrient solution was so unpalatable that Yan Mo tried buying ingredients on the StarNet and cooking for himself.

The Zerg have a rich variety of food, including all sorts of strange and unusual vegetables and fruits, and meat that Yan Mo has never seen before, such as interstellar alien beast meat.

Yan Mo hesitated before ordering some food, but found that the food turned out quite delicious, so he started cooking for himself every day.

Yan Mo ladled out the freshly cooked interstellar-style braised pork, then carried the plate out of the kitchen. Just as he was about to put the plate down to check why Xiao Yuan hadn't returned yet, he looked up and saw a figure walking in.

It is Lanze.

This was the first time Yan Mo had seen Lan Ze. Before this, he had already learned about Lan Ze's appearance through various videos on the StarNet.

Lanze was undoubtedly an exceptionally beautiful female insect, dazzling even among insectoids whose females were generally of superior appearance.

Lan Ze, dressed in a smart uniform, with a distant expression, showed a hint of surprise when he saw Yan Mo carrying out a plate.

Such a scene is indeed surprising to the Zerg.

A distinguished male insect was actually wearing an apron and personally cooking in the kitchen.

Preparing delicious meals for male insects has always been a compulsory course for female insects. Even though female insects take nutrient solutions all year round, they still have to spend time and effort to develop good cooking skills, just so they can better serve their male masters in the future.

Yan Mo paused for a moment before realizing what was happening and placed the plate on the dining table.

"Major General Lan Ze?"

Lan Ze suppressed his surprise and said calmly, "Yes, Your Excellency."

He left the male insect hanging for several days until today before finally coming to see Yan Mo, already prepared to face Yan Mo's wrath.

But things didn't seem to go as Lanze had imagined. Instead of scolding or whipping him, the male insect beckoned to him and invited him to sit down and have a meal together.

"Major General, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I've made some dishes; why don't we eat and chat?"

Lan Ze looked at Yan Mo with some suspicion; this was very different from what he had imagined.

He left the male insect hanging, hoping it would get angry and demand a change of guardian from the male insect protection association. Even if this might cause him some trouble, it would just mean a beating and a loss of money.

What Lanze found even more unbearable than these was marrying the male insect after its second differentiation, being whipped every day, restricted to working in the military, and begging for mercy like a pitiful worm under the male insect's whipping.

With a skeptical attitude, he pulled out a chair, sat opposite Yan Mo, and stared intently at Yan Mo.

"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Yan Mo awkwardly raised his hand to touch his cheek: "I'll go wash it off."

Lan Ze spoke up to stop him: "No, I'm sorry, sir, I was being presumptuous."

He was just curious whether male insects could really be so friendly.

She neither blamed him for taking so long to come back to see her, nor was she angry at his offensive stare.

In Lanze's understanding, no male insect would ever cook for himself and invite female insects to eat the food he made.

I must say, this was a novel experience.

Lan Ze secretly observed this strange male insect with great interest, wanting to see what he was really up to.

"It's delicious, Your Excellency. Your cooking is superb."

Seeing that Lan Ze had started eating and stopped staring at him, Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and his unease lessened considerably.

"Really? If it's delicious, eat more."

Yan Mo picked up a piece of meat, took a bite, and found that the meat of the interstellar beast he bought was of very good quality, with no strange smell, and the fat and lean meat were just right. It was not greasy at all when used to make braised pork, and it was fresh and delicious.

Yan Mo swallowed a piece of meat, his eyes narrowing with satisfaction.

Lan Ze looked at Yan Mo's satisfied expression and a smile appeared on his lips. He became even more curious about Yan Mo.

In reality, among the Zerg, male Zerglings as easily satisfied as Yan Mo are extremely rare.

Lanze's eyes flashed with mockery and disgust. Male insects are insatiable creatures. They will not be satisfied with a good meal. They will only keep demanding wealth and power from female insects and enjoy the pleasure of conquest by abusing and whipping them.

However, Yan Mo is indeed different.

At least in Lanze's memory, there was no male insect like Yanmo.

He wasn't tyrannical or angry because of his cold treatment, but he was satisfied by a plate of delicious meat, which he even cooked himself.

Damn, there really are male insects that can cook.

Lan Ze had already eaten several pieces of braised pork without any hesitation.

His posture was elegant, a required course for every noble female insect, but his chopsticks were surprisingly fast.

Yan Mo put down his chopsticks with satisfaction. Sure enough, this was food for humans. Those nutrient solutions were just some kind of culinary abomination.

When Lan Ze saw that Yan Mo had finished eating, he reluctantly put down his chopsticks as well. Looking at the braised pork that he had eaten most of, Lan Ze belatedly blushed.

"Your Excellency... female soldiers usually undergo rigorous training, which consumes a lot of energy... My apologies!"

Yan Mo shook his head: "It's alright, are you full? If not, I can make something else."

He stayed at Lanze's house, and cooking some dishes to pay for the rent was fine.

"Need not!"

Lan Ze quickly refused, saying, "I'm already full."

Yan Mo nodded: "That's good."

He called Xiaoyuan to tidy up the dining room and invited Lanze to the living room for tea and conversation.

"Major General Lanze, I know that becoming my guardian insect was not your original intention."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ze looked up at Yan Mo. He stood upright, even while sitting on the soft sofa, as straight as a spear, ready to rise at any moment and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

"What does Your Excellency mean?"

Yan Mo found it difficult to speak. He looked into Lan Ze's eyes. Lan Ze had a pair of very beautiful eyes, but they always carried a coldness that made people feel inexplicably scared.

"I... I want to stay here for a while. Since you have become my guardian, we can't break this relationship in a short time. But I can guarantee that after the second differentiation, I will break the guardianship relationship with you and give you your freedom."

This was naturally the only expedient solution Yan Mo could think of at the moment. He felt that since he had transmigrated from another world, he should still be human, but the doctor insect here said that he was a male insect.

He doesn't even know if he's a human or an insect anymore.

However, according to the doctor insect, he should be approaching the time for his second differentiation, at which point we will know whether he is currently human or male.

If he successfully undergoes secondary differentiation, he will be able to live a good life in this unfamiliar world.

If he doesn't undergo any secondary differentiation, it can buy him some time to find a way back to Earth.
