“If it's just about building a spaceport, the Zerg have similar technology. Our gene pool already contains reserves capable of stable survival in space. While we currently can't give birth to such massive individuals, it's not impossible to assemble one using smaller units.”
I wasn't sure if Brain Bug No. 1 was constantly eavesdropping on the Queen's thoughts, but it suddenly chimed in.
“I have a question,” Xia Jin said, her expression suddenly turning grave.
“Please ask, Your Majesty,” Brain Bug No. 1 replied immediately.
“Do you like me?”
Brain Bug No. 1: “...”
After an eerie silence.
“What Zerg doesn't like the Queen?” Brain Bug No. 1 seemed somewhat speechless.
“No, no, no, I don't mean that kind of ‘like.’ I mean... well, the kind of romantic affection humans have between a man and a woman. We're the same species, right? So you should be able to answer me.”
A strange silence filled her mind.
Even though they were connected through the Swarm consciousness, Brain Bug No. 1 had clearly frozen up.
Hey, hey, don't just go silent on me.
This reaction left Xia Jin quite speechless.
“So, from the beginning, you've had designs on me, haven't you?”
She had thought she was just highly talented, but it seemed... it had chosen her because she was pretty. There was something wrong with these Zerg!
No, perhaps it would be more accurate to say there was something wrong with this brain bug.
However, thinking back, she had originally been a male transmigrator. It had been quite a few years; she hadn't expected to completely transform into a cute girl.
The kind where she wouldn't even be willing to change back into a guy.
Of course, this secret could never be shared within the Swarm network; it would remain hidden forever.
After another long, awkward silence, Brain Bug No. 1 finally spoke. “I don't know how to interpret it, but Your Majesty's arrival might be the will of heaven. To every bug, the Queen is perfect and full of attraction. It is the same for me. Zerg aesthetics don't lean toward humans, but the Queen is truly unique.”
“So, you want to sleep with me?”
“Uh...” Brain Bug No. 1 was at a loss for words.
“Hahaha, just kidding.”
Xia Jin giggled and said no more.
The thought of a terrifying giant bug being interested in her was a bit bizarre.
This time, she boarded a Small Leviathan and began following the Kawi Civilization's fleet toward the host of the Star Martial Arts Tournament—the Juxin Civilization.
But first, they had to take a detour through the Faluer Civilization.
Once the jump gate was activated, they traveled through space at an extreme speed.
Looking out from the inside, the light seemed extremely distorted.
In reality, the physical matter wasn't moving that fast; it was space itself pushing the ship forward.
Before long, the vessel reached the other side and appeared at a Faluer Civilization relay station.
At a glance, dozens of densely packed, giant jump rings came into view.
Not far away was a pyramid shaped giant construct ten kilometers high. Its two levels featured steel corridors spanning dozens of kilometers, with small aircraft occasionally flying in and out.
“How magnificent.”
Xia Jin murmured to herself.
It was impossible not to be envious; this scale was simply incomparable to the Kawi Civilization.
Moreover, in terms of quality, these weren't the so-called space stations of an ancient era, but much more durable and advanced units that a low level civilization could never build.
After docking for a while, they set off again, guided by the Faluer Civilization's small aircraft as they began entering other jump gates.
The Faluer people also seemed very curious about the Zerg.
Especially at close range, seeing that the beetle like leviathans were actually giant organisms, they were clearly shaken.
Internal discussions were likely already revolving around this.
The Zerg's form of life was far too unique.
On the other hand, Xia Jin was also very interested in this strange civilization.
Looking at them, they actually resembled lightbulbs.
These creatures were composed of round lights with two limbs forming tools similar to feet, though they didn't really look like feet no matter how she viewed them.
She didn't know how they managed to be so bright.
While there were differences between each lightbulb, they were actually quite similar; she didn't know if they even had genders.
“Ridiculous.”
Carrying her Zerg curiosity, Xia Jin left the scene aboard the Small Leviathan.
The next leg of the journey was much faster, and they reached the final stop in just a few days.
Upon emerging this time, she found the jump rings behind them in the silent depths of space, with a planet scanned several thousand kilometers away.
“That over there is our destination.”
The Kawi Civilization indicated the target planet.
The Juxin Civilization was also a very powerful civilization, one significant enough for the Faluer Civilization to respect.
When she finally landed at the local spaceport, the wonderful architectural style immediately caught Xia Jin's attention.
It still felt very sci-fi, but the overall color palette leaned toward black.
The combination of lights and massive black buildings was very striking. Furthermore, every building was enormous; while they were usually only a few hundred meters high, they often stretched for several kilometers in length, which was quite absurd.
