Zerg: Cold and aloof Major General, stop pretending to be innocent, I have a headache!

After daybreak, Jiang Xu and Fei left the Jiang family together.

Before setting off, Zoran looked at them and asked, "Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"

Last night's banquet, besides establishing Fei's position in the Jiang family, also aimed to get Jiang Xu and Fei to stay a few more days.

Zoran knew that Jiang Cheng and Qiao had objections to the marriage, but he still insisted on his decision. He also wanted to tell them that Xiao Fei was actually a good kid.

"No, Grandfather," Jiang Xu declined. "The First Military Region has urgent business, and Fei needs to go there immediately."

He himself had arranged to meet a female insect today.

In the end, the two insects quickly left.

On the way to the business center, Fei remained silent for a long time, both annoyed by his outburst the night before and belatedly feeling uneasy.

With the business center in sight, he hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My lord, I'm sorry I cannot accompany you to the business center today."

Jiang Xu glanced at him, but did not tell him the purpose of his trip. He simply said, "You go about your business."

Fei pursed his lips, weighed the pros and cons between Jiang Xu and the military region's important matters, and said in a deep voice, "If you encounter any trouble, you can contact me at any time."

Jiang Xu raised his hand to indicate that he understood.

They arrived at the commercial center quickly. Due to the no-fly zone, Jiang Xu landed directly at the edge of the commercial street, waved goodbye, and walked straight in, unaware of the changing expressions on the faces of those looking at him from the entrance of the aircraft.

The morning glow painted half the sky red, and the morning breeze rustled the leaves of the trees along the roadside.

Since arriving in the Zerg, he hadn't felt the urge to get up at nine in a long time.

Looking at the breakfast stalls on both sides, that sense of familiarity resurfaced.

The breakfast stalls here are for office workers, but there are very few customers.

Jiang Xu knew that most of the insects had already consumed colorless and odorless nutritional supplements at home.

He glanced around and chose a stall that seemed to suit his taste—he had left in a hurry this morning and was still hungry.

"One..." He looked up at the sign, "a toast salad, please."

"Okay, just a moment." The stall owner was surprised that his first order was a male insect.

Fortunately, male insects occasionally appear in the business center and did not show any unusual behavior. I quickly put two slices of toast into the oven, and the light aroma soon spread.

"Boss, a fruit and vegetable platter, please."

A sound rang out, and an insect appeared in front of the food cart.

The stall owner responded, still maintaining a polite smile.

The insect looked around and, upon discovering that the insect in front of it was male, it shuddered the moment its eyes met Jiang Xu's. It instantly suppressed its agitation and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Excellency, good day."

Looking at the other person's sudden composure, Jiang Xu thought to himself: I really don't eat insects.

He nodded slightly, and at that moment the stall owner handed him the prepared toast salad, saying respectfully, "Sir, your toast salad is ready."

Looking at the food wrapped in layers, Jiang Xu silently accepted it after a moment, then raised his wrist to touch the cash register with his communicator.

Ding—"2 Insect Coins have been credited to your account."

Jiang Xu took the food and left, and the stall owner and the female insect behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

He followed his memory toward the rented office building, and on the way he caught a glimpse of a large shopping mall sign standing in the middle—One time.

"Oh, I'm familiar with this stuff." Jiang Xu was surprised; they were using English here too?

Seeing a familiar sign in an environment full of unfamiliar text is like finding a fresh green leaf in a pile of withered leaves—both eye-catching and delightful.

But despite his curiosity, he didn't forget that his main task today was to interview a female insect. They had already reached a pretty good agreement online, so today's interview was essentially an in-person one.

Composing himself, Jiang Xu headed straight for the office building, but as he approached, he caught a glimpse of a small figure on the steps at the entrance, and unconsciously frowned.

The little female insect spotted him too, and fluttered her tiny hands as she came running over: "Hey, it's brother!"

"Wow, big brother!"

With his short legs moving quickly, he ran up to Jiang Xu in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xu looked down at the insect cub, which was shorter than his own legs, and looked around but couldn't see its female father. He asked, "What are you doing here? Where's your female father?"

"The female father is at work." The little insect pointed to the alley they had just passed, then, as if remembering something, carefully took a red fruit out of its pocket and presented it to Jiang Xu like a treasure:

"Brother, big brother, eat! The milk fruit is sweet and delicious."

The fruit was about the same size as a ginseng fruit, entirely red, and the translucent flesh could be clearly seen under its semi-transparent skin.

Jiang Xu had never seen this kind of fruit before and wondered to himself: Why has Fei never prepared one for me?

He reached out and stroked the baby insect's head, a gentle warmth unconsciously appearing in his eyes: "Did you save this especially for me?"

"Mmm! Mmm!" The little insect nodded repeatedly, looking up at him with its little face. "I'm waiting for my brother, I'll give him some to eat."

Jiang Xu fell silent—was this little insect waiting for him here every day?

He took the milk fruit, met the insect's bright, expectant gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then took a bite.

The moment he tasted it, he frowned abruptly—it had none of the fruity flavor he had expected.

But he quickly relaxed his brow and patted the baby insect's head: "Is this called a milk fruit?"

"Mmm! Baby eats it every day, it's delicious!" The little bug nodded vigorously.

Jiang Xu forced down the milk fruit in his mouth despite feeling uncomfortable, bent down to pick up the baby insect, and handed the remaining fruit back to him: "Brother has already eaten, here you go."

This milk fruit truly lives up to its name; it has only a pure milk flavor, with just a slight hint of fruitiness compared to regular milk, and nothing else.

But he had never liked drinking milk since he was a child, and now he felt like he had been "tricked" by the little bug.

Unaware of his thoughts, the little insect happily took the bitten milk fruit and began to devour it, exclaiming, "Delicious!"

"Does my brother like it?"

Jiang Xu paused, then could only say against his will, "I like it."

He carried the baby insect up the steps to the glass door, took out the sensor key, and opened the door.

The house had been vacant for a long time and was covered with a thin layer of dust, but the layout was acceptable—he planned to use the first floor as a reception area and the second floor as an office for employees.

Jiang Xu glanced at his communicator; there was still half an hour until the scheduled interview time.

He placed the insect larva on the ground and sternly instructed, "Don't run around. Wait here for your female father, understand?"

The little insect nodded obediently, found a sofa to sit on, and, ignoring the dust, ate the milk fruit with relish.

Jiang Xu remembered seeing the storage room under the stairs last time he came here. He opened the cabinet door and sure enough, it was filled with all kinds of tools.

He moved out his tools one by one, trying to set up an area for the interview.

At the bottom of the tools, he found a large box that took up a third of the storage room. He frowned slightly and used a clever trick to move the box out.

His hands were covered in dust, which made him quite uncomfortable, so he went to the bathroom to wash them first, and soon the sound of water could be heard.

Jiang Xu washed his hands and face, walked to the box, and looked at it curiously.

When you see the words "Intelligent Robot Insect" on the box.

He paused, then asked: Is this the same kind of thing as an AI robot?

Can it be used for cleaning?

If possible, it would save a lot of trouble.

He rubbed his fingers together, opened the box, and a round metal ball rolled out.

"An iron ball?"

Just as Jiang Xu was wondering, a knocking sound came from glass.

"Hello, I'm here for an interview."

A female insect appeared at the doorway. After recognizing Jiang Xu, her face clearly showed surprise: "It's you?"
