StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 177 Technical Insects First

Actually, she never expected things to turn out this way at first.

Nearly three thousand male insects below engaged in a heated debate over which insect the female preferred.

Before she could even speak, the verbal sparring had escalated into a physical fight.

They even went from fighting alone at the beginning to forming cliques.

Soon, small-scale battles, interspersed with flanking maneuvers and military combat techniques, began to break out.

The phrase "Look at me, Queen Insect, I'm more handsome than any other male Insect" was the first shot fired in the struggle among the servant insects to form factions and fight against the old insect race for the right to mate with the Queen Insect.

Shen Qingqing, who was standing there awkwardly picking up the microphone, was even more stunned.

From her perspective, it was clear how they quickly formed factions, established their own independent entities, and divided up spheres of influence in less than a minute.

There were even class divisions.

Of course, the classification is based on appearance, physical strength, endurance, and individual charm.

Rather than vying for the queen's attention, it was more about taking this opportunity to showcase their talents.

Shen Qingqing's gaze towards them grew even more intense.

She seemed to know the secret to how the Zerg had managed to roam the universe for thousands of years.

The answer is right here!

"Everyone, please keep quiet. I have a few words to say first."

Shen Qingqing walked around the stage twice with her hands behind her back, just like a kindergarten teacher disciplining a disobedient child.

Upon hearing the Queen's voice, those 'evil' forces quickly entered a Cold War phase.

Although they neither resort to physical force nor verbal communication, a clear strategic boundary has emerged between them.

Maintain a one-meter distance between each sphere of influence and resolutely refuse to conform to other forces.

It seems to be quite effective.

Shen Qingqing felt that the time was about right, so she asked the military doctor to maintain discipline to prevent them from rioting again.

"Our Zerg race has reached a critical juncture, a matter of life and death. Under these circumstances, every one of us must defend our royal planet, protect our territory, and safeguard our people! Therefore, I have decided..."

Before Shen Qingqing could finish speaking, the male insects below raised their voices of doubt.

"Why do we need to consider the insect's abilities? We were carefully selected by you, sir, to serve you. It is our honor to await your favor."

"Yes, yes, why do we have to select insect talents in this way? Every one of us insects is clearly excellent."

The insects that were originally reporting on each other and dividing into factions have now all stood on the same side without prior agreement.

Countless voices came from all sides, none of them willing to give up their status as insect servants.

Shen Qingqing's words, "Let all the technical talents among the servant insects stay in the palace, and the other servant insects can stay in other insect departments on their own," clearly made them all fall into self-doubt.

They thought they had done something wrong that disappointed the Insect Queen.

Two insects in the swarm, who had never formed a faction, smiled at each other.

“It seems our insect queen has her own ideas,” Mi Jia said with a smile.

"Really? I hope she's not blinded by those male insects."

Krono scoffed, his arrogant red hair standing out conspicuously in the swarm of insects. "I don't believe she'd be willing to disband her harem."

“Krono,” Mika walked to his side and looked at the Queen of Insects on the stage who was still announcing the new order, “I seem to be convinced that we can usher in our second spring.”

"Our first spring was when we were chosen by the previous Queen Cecilia to be the next Queen's servants; our second spring should be now."

To Mika's words, Crono merely snorted, "Who knows if she's just deceiving our feelings, or if she's come up with some new tricks."

"But what she said is indeed very tempting, isn't it?"

"Humph!"

Holding the microphone, Shen Qingqing persisted in her opinion, "I know everyone is excellent, and you are all top-notch Zerg talents, with top-notch looks and combat strength. But don't you think it's a waste of your talents to stay in the palace?"

“Some of you were once the strongest designers on the planet, some made significant achievements in the field of cutting-edge technology, and some were even military commanders or frontline commanders... Don’t you miss your former glory days when you were so powerful and influential? Are you really willing to stand here and wait for some insect queen who may come at any time to favor you?”

How much time do you have to waste?

After his speech, the previously noisy insect servants fell silent.

Yes, they once had their own aspirations.

They even have their own businesses.

but……

"We are your servant insects."

One of the insects whispered in the swarm.

“We shouldn’t focus our energy on anything else but you.”

“Yes, we can only be loyal to you,” echoed another insect in the swarm.

Shen Qingqing smiled slightly, "But being loyal to me and pursuing my career are not mutually exclusive."

Then he turned around and, under the eager gazes of the insect servants, took out the Imperial Medal, which had once symbolized the glory of the insect race.

"Now, in accordance with the laws of the Empire, I hereby declare that those who possess the technology can be reinstated to their original positions."

"Those without technical skills can voluntarily fill out the form and choose the department they wish to join, continuing to contribute to the Zerg's development. No background or rank is required; anyone willing can choose the department they want to join!"

Upon hearing this, the insects were in an uproar.

"The Imperial Medal is awarded to the first ten Zerg warriors who volunteer for grassroots infrastructure projects, as an encouragement!"

While the hesitant insect servants were whispering amongst themselves about what to do, Chrono, from behind the swarm, darted forward and stood firmly on the steps of the high platform where Shen Qingqing was.

His eyes were bright and piercing, filled with a fiery fighting spirit.

He solemnly placed his right hand in front of his chest and bowed deeply.

"Please bestow honor upon me, Queen Mother, I am willing to dedicate my life to the cause of the Zerg, until my death!"

With one Zergling taking the lead, the other Zerglings who were still hesitating rushed forward, eager to show their loyalty to the Zerg Queen.

"Great, could you tell me your name?"

Shen Qingqing walked over with the silver medal in her hand and asked with a smile.

As the insect queen drew closer to him, Chrono's heart pounded with each step she took, and a tingling, acidic sensation seemed to pump from his heart, rapidly spreading throughout his body.

It turns out that the Insect Queen was indeed as beautiful and soft as described in the book, which aroused in him the desire to possess her forever.

She smelled so good, a thousand times, no! Ten thousand times better than those inferior pheromones!

Krono stood there dumbfounded, not even realizing the insect queen had come up to him. He stared blankly at the insect queen, who was less than chest-high in front of him.

So small, so fragrant, so soft...

Suddenly, Shen Qingqing laughed.

The laughter quickly brought him back to his senses, and he looked down at his toes in embarrassment.

He was completely stunned.

Would the Insect Queen think he's childish?

But Shen Qingqing simply reached out and gently touched his soft hair, then took his hand and pretended to pull him onto the stage.
