StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 20 Old 8 System

“So the Insect Queen doesn’t have antennae?” Vina touched the small antennae on both sides of her forehead. “I thought the Insect Queen was like us.”

Seeing this, Fourteen glanced at her, his tone full of arrogance, "Of course, I wonder who always dozes off during the High Priest's lectures. Now you know the importance of studying hard, right?"

"What? I'm clearly telling a story, but you insist on calling it a lecture," Vina argued, unwilling to give up.

"Don't think I don't know you always sneak out alone, trying to leave this place."

"Are you following me?"

"Who's following you? It's clearly your poor concealment skills that's the problem."

……

The two insects started bickering again, while Fourteen's words had stirred up a storm in Shen Qingqing's heart.

Does the Zerg only have a Zerg Queen and not a Zergling Queen?

But she doesn't have the pheromones of the insect queen.

Who is she?

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore."

Ignoring Fourteen, who was sulking because he couldn't win the argument, Vina walked over and sat down next to her.

"Qingqing, where do you want to go in the future? Shall we go to Wangxing together? I heard there are countless delicious foods, drinks and fun things to do there."

Speaking of the planet, Vina looked longingly at it, saying, "I really envy the insects that can live on the planet from birth."

"why?"

"Because that's the closest place to the insect mother, and it's said that you can hear her heartbeat there."

Hearing that every insect's discussion revolved around its mother, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but chime in, "Why does it have to be all about the mother? Every single insect can't stop talking about her."

Upon hearing this, Vina sat up abruptly, and said seriously, "No, you don't understand."

"The Queen is not only a spiritual leader for the Zerg, but also a goddess incarnate who can soothe the hearts of the Zerg. Every Zerg's love for the Queen is engraved in their bones."

"Getting close to the mother insect is the lifelong dream of every insect."

"That's it?" Shen Qingqing said, unable to understand.

If one entrusts their entire life to a worm mother that can never exist, then what is the meaning of worm life?

Is it circling around the mother insect?

"Hehe, of course it's more than that." Vina scratched her head sheepishly, revealing the most important reason in her mind.

"The Queen is our spiritual pillar. As long as the Queen is still alive, the morale of the Zerg will never be low, and I will be able to realize my wish."

"Your wish?"

She couldn't figure out what her wish had to do with the insect mother.

"Qingqing, do you know that becoming a Zerg warrior has been my dream since I was a child, and also—"

She glanced at her, and without caring who had heard, Vina continued, "Believe it or not, I think the fall of the Queen of Insects two hundred years ago had nothing to do with Saenster and the Commander-in-Chief. There must be someone else behind it."

“That’s all your opinion,” Fourteen lazily rolled over. “Just because they’re handsome doesn’t mean your values ​​should follow their looks.”

“Shut up,” Vina scoffed. “Do you think everyone is as strong as you but simple-minded?”

"But that's what history books record."

"History books can also be deceiving."

"That's how it's engraved on the stone tablet too."

"Even stone tablets can be faked."

"That's what the high priest said too."

"..."

She truly couldn't refute these points. The High Priest was a witness to the death of the Insect Mother and shouldn't be lying.

But then Fourteen raised a question, "What if... the High Priest is also lying?"

Now it was Vina's turn to be suspicious. "Really?"

"What if."

"..."

Unsurprisingly, the two adversaries once again erupted into a fierce argument.

"You two stop arguing," Shen Qingqing hurriedly persuaded them. "Once we get to Wangxing, we can find out the truth together, right?"

“Since you’ve agreed, you can’t go back on your word,” Vina said with a sly smile, her attitude suddenly changing. “Let’s pinky swear, it’ll last a hundred years.”

His outstretched finger hooked her hesitant little finger, and the two fingers intertwined, making a shaky vow.

"Anyone who goes back on their word is a little dog!"

As I was laughing, a crackling sound like electricity rang in my head.

???

what is this?

A book appeared out of nowhere in my mind.

Shen Qingqing controlled her mind to turn a page.

Blank?!

What the hell.

Is there a problem with the transmission of memories?

Shen Qingqing said she had gotten used to the occasional crackling sound in her mind.

After landing safely, Vina gave the big bird some fruit as a reward.

It was met with disdain from the large bird.

Her breath messed up her braids.

Vina: "Chirp is getting more and more greedy."

Fourteen: "They flew for so long with three insects, and you only gave them a few fruits? How can you be so shameless?"

"Then you'll give it to me?"

"It's nothing, I was just joking."

It seems this must be the temple the high priest mentioned, which is much more legitimate than the previous black market (on the surface).

"If the black market won't work, then the branch office should be able to."

Surprisingly, the herbs were very easy to buy.

They were still in a daze even after they had mounted the giant bird.

"Was it that easy? You got it without any trouble?"

Shen Qingqing's face was filled with disbelief.

You know, in novels, things usually take at least five chapters to reach a conclusion, but in her case, it was all over after she paid.

The stall owner even thoughtfully gave them two extra plants.

That's because not many people actually buy this stuff.

The sudden mechanical voice startled Shen Qingqing.

"what?"

【Oh, host, I am—】

[So charming that everyone loves her, flowers bloom for her, and cars get flat tires just looking at her.]

[System Eight, whom men would feel ashamed of, women would weep at, and even insects would kneel before!]

Before Shen Qingqing could react, the system immediately listed all the benefits she was entitled to:

As the 999th transmigrator in this world, you enjoy the following benefits:

[1. Enjoy a free meal once.]

Shen Qingqing: ...

[2. Lifetime access to Salt Select membership.]

"..."

"Can it still be used after death?"

【cannot. 】

Old Eight System shrugs helplessly: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

After all, this was a reward you received while you were alive.

"Baka, isn't everything you're saying just nonsense?"

【No, my name is Lao Ba, not Baga.】The system pointed out her mistake.

[Call me whatever you want, I chose this name myself to show off to my colleagues.]

"Then you..." Could you give me something practical?

Before he could finish speaking, Lao Ba let out a wail: "Damn it! Time to go home! We'll talk tomorrow, bye!"

[Ding-dong! Your system has gone offline. Please leave a message if you need anything.]

She was still completely dazed until the high priest applied the medicine to her.

The system she had been waiting for so long only appeared now in a hurry.

It came in a hurry, and it left in a hurry.

Just then, an email appeared in my mind:

To our dearest host:

It was indeed my fault for taking so long to arrive, but honestly, it was wrong of the boss to make me work on the weekend. So I went to talk to the boss, and he agreed to give me a few days off (*^▽^*)

That's why I'm late, but it's okay.

[Old Ba has secured benefits for you based on his many years of outstanding employee awards.]

[Ta-da! A newborn Insect Queen has been reborn! Her gift pack includes: Transmigration Guide *1, Medical Insurance *1, and Crutches *1]

Have a pleasant journey! (n_n)

[—Love, Lao Ba]
