Chapter 13: Increase in the Number of Worker Bees

Lamenting the cruelty of the universe, Duan Ming couldn't help but think of other people's encounters with ice crystal star beasts, which might be as tragic as this moment.

However, Duan Ming was still busy with his own affairs at the moment, and he had no ability to worry about others.

Looking at the remains of the ice crystal star beast that fell from the previous battle on the back of the fire rock beast, Duan Ming felt more and more dazzling.

The insect girl, who was doing nothing on the side, glanced at Duan Ming, her beautiful eyes turned, and she said to Duan Ming as if asking for credit: "Master, if you think these things are annoying, let me go and deal with these remains of ice crystal star beasts."

"Go." Duan Ming replied after thinking about it.

The insect girl bowed her head respectfully and responded, then shook her feet hard, and the whole person flew into the void, instantly removing the anthropomorphic form, and the whole person turned into a huge insect creature, like a huge caterpillar.

The giant insect opened its mouth and swallowed all the remains and meat into its mouth.

Seeing this scene, Duan Ming frowned in disgust.

"Bug girl, stop!" Duan Ming shouted.

Hearing this, the giant insect stopped, turned into a human form again, flew down obediently, and landed on the back of the Fire Rock Beast.

"What's wrong, master?" The insect girl's little face was full of blush after just swallowing, and she looked at Duan Ming with admiration and asked.

"Don't do this again in the future." Duan Ming said to the insect girl with a serious face.

"Oh, okay master." The insect girl looked at Duan Ming who suddenly became serious, not knowing what she had done wrong, and responded a little at a loss for a while.

Looking at the imperfect mimicry of the insect girl, there were two small sensing tentacles on her head, which were hanging low and sticking to her head at this moment.

Looking at this scene, Duan Ming sighed in his heart.

It's not that he is hypocritical, but Duan Ming feels that he has worked hard to open up space, just to live a good life, not to mention being admired by thousands of people, at least he should live like a human being, right?

Even if he lives in space now, he cannot live like a space creature. If there are corpses and debris, he will let his subordinates eat them alive, which will lose his face and psychological bottom line as a human being.

If so, Duan Ming might as well choose Yishen Star directly, then sell it to Han Group and live the life of a rich man.

Thinking in his heart, Duan Ming turned on his watch, selected several pictures and structural models of brooms and dustpans and vacuum cleaners in the living area, and entered them into the biological three printers.

As for the vacuum cleaner, Duan Ming made some magic changes and turned it into the kind driven by light energy. The most abundant thing in space is various radiations and light.

Not long after, a set of daily cleaning tools was made.

Handing these things to the insect girl, Duan Ming said: "This is the broom and dustpan we humans use, and this is the vacuum cleaner."

"Just use these for daily cleaning, and don't cancel the mimicry in front of me."

Duan Ming said while demonstrating to the insect girl how to use these tools.

The insect girl beside her looked at it for a while, then nodded in understanding: "Okay, Master."

Looking at the two thin tentacles on the insect girl's head, Duan Ming asked curiously: "What are the two tentacles on your head used for?"

"Answer Master, these two tentacles are used to sense the external environment and can help me gain a sense of space. Well... just like the five senses of humans." The insect girl explained.

Duan Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"If the master doesn't like it, I will hide it now." As she said that, the insect girl shyly wanted to put away the two tentacles.

"No need." Duan Ming said lightly. "You are originally a Zerg, it's good to keep some of your own characteristics." After thinking about it, Duan Ming added: "And these two tentacles, well, are pretty beautiful."

"Really?" Hearing this, the insect girl looked at Duan Ming with surprise, her beautiful eyes full of gratitude.

"Ding! Zerg base mimic trust increased! Zerg base trust increased! Current trust: 40/100."

A system voice sounded.

Hearing this voice, Duan Ming was stunned. He didn't expect that a few words he said casually would have such a big effect.

A kind word warms you in three winters, but a bad word hurts you in June. The ancients were not deceiving me.

Of course, Duan Ming also knew that the insect girl's favorability towards him increased not only because of his praise, but more importantly, it was probably because of his empathy.

Thinking of this, Duan Ming seemed to understand something in his heart. "It seems that in order to increase the degree of trust in the future, in addition to simply giving benefits, we must also think about it appropriately and put ourselves in other people's shoes."

After understanding this, Duan Ming looked at the fair and round face of the insect girl in front of him and felt that she was even more lovely.

"Really, your tentacles are really cute." Duan Ming said to the insect girl sincerely. "This is your unique beauty as a Zerg."

After saying this, the little face of the Zerg girl was already red with shyness, and the two tentacles on her head were also shyly entangled together, twisting and bending.

Seeing this scene, Duan Ming couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Suddenly, Duan Ming's heart moved, and he asked the insect girl: "By the way, can your Zerg base produce other bee species besides worker bees now?"

Hearing this, the insect girl slowly calmed down and replied: "My master, my Zerg base is still in its early stages, and it cannot produce complex arms other than worker bees for the time being. But the number of worker bees can be increased."

Hearing this, Duan Ming's originally disappointed eyes suddenly lit up, and he continued to ask: "Then how many worker bees can you produce at most now?"

The insect girl replied: "Now it can produce up to 50 worker bees, but..."

Seeing the insect girl hesitate for a while, Duan Ming hurriedly asked: "But what?"

"If I produce 50 worker bees now, it will be a little difficult to control so many worker bees..." The insect girl said.

"Well, then take it slow. First control 40, then 45, and finally 50. Do it step by step. Take it slow. Don't rush."

Hearing this, the insect girl nodded and said, "Okay."

As she spoke, the insect girl stood there and closed her eyes. After a while, ten worker bees flew out of the hive, following the original 30 worker bees to help transport the ice ore and help the fire rock beasts devour it quickly.

Seeing this scene, Duan Ming nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the insect girl standing there, concentrating on controlling these worker bees, Duan Ming felt that it was necessary to develop this Zerg base in depth in the future.
