There is a clear difference between the physique of female soldiers and male soldiers. Only a few are well-proportioned like Shelain, while some are strong and sturdy. If I have to describe them in one word, it would be as strong as an ox.
Even if Tang Yan was an S-rank male insect, he couldn't withstand such a collision.
The female soldier who was dining on the first floor was eating and logging on to the Star Network to eat melons. He turned around when he heard the noise, and saw Tang Yan standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, with green eyes and platinum hair. He couldn't help but stare at him slowly.
S… S-level male insect? !
The military headquarters was too big, with 26 cafeterias alone, and all the troops of the Fourth Army were stationed there. Some of the female soldiers of the First Army knew Tang Yan, which resulted in many female insects not knowing Tang Yan.
Seeing this, he consciously looked at the photos on the Star Network and compared them with Tang Yan's appearance. He found that they were exactly the same. He once suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
At the same time, Xie Lane also discovered something unusual on the second floor. He stood up and walked quickly up the stairs, only to see Tang Yan standing aside, covering his arm. The dining table behind him was knocked crooked, and his expression changed slightly.
"Are you okay?!"
Xie Lane immediately stepped forward, looking nervous and checking Tang Yan's injuries. Tang Yan came back to his senses after seeing this, loosened his hand covering his shoulder, and shook it casually: "It's okay, just a bump."
What happened just now happened so suddenly that Tang Yan couldn't recover.
Xie Lane's brows were knitted tightly, and he relaxed a little when he saw that Tang Yan was indeed fine. He slowly exhaled, then looked seriously at the tall female soldier not far away, and asked coldly, "Whose unit are you from?!"
The uniforms of the four armies were different. The buttons on the opponent's uniforms had silver thorn flowers, which clearly showed that they belonged to the Third Army.
The female soldier looked strong, but she was extremely timid. When she realized that she had accidentally hurt Tang Yan, she was about to cry. She kept saying “I, I, I” for a long time but couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
Xie Lain narrowed his eyes, with the aura of a superior, and asked word by word: "I asked you who your official is. Is it difficult to answer? If you don't answer, I will directly ask Admiral Apu."
At that moment, a female soldier suddenly stood up from the dining table, ran quickly to Shelain, raised her hand and saluted nervously, "I'm sorry, Major General, I'm on his team. Farley didn't mean to hurt the male insect crown. He's stupid... Please forgive me! I will punish him when I get back!"
Farley was a typical person with strong limbs and a simple mind. His military colleagues had joked that when he was in the egg, he only cared about his fists, so he didn't even have a brain, and was stupid and dumb, and no male insect would like him.
The Fourth Army and the Third Army had always been at odds. Seeing this, a female soldier sneered and said, "Farewell, you are crazy about wanting to marry a male insect. You actually injured an S-level crown. Damn it. I want to see how Admiral Apu will punish you!"
There was a sudden burst of laughter from all around, and some people even took videos to watch the fun.
Farley cried even faster, his face flushed red, and he bowed repeatedly to Tang Yan: "I'm really sorry, Mian, I didn't mean it, please hit me, I'm really sorry..."
If the matter were to be exposed, not only would Farley be severely punished by his superiors, but the Male Insect Protection Association would also take him away for investigation.
The fate of female insects is always tragic. Even if we don't lend a helping hand, we shouldn't ridicule them in public.
Xie Lain's eyes swept over the female soldiers of the Fourth Army who were laughing, and her face became colder and colder. At that moment, Tang Yan suddenly pulled Xie Lain behind him and said to Fa Lei who had already started to cry: "It's okay, I didn't look at the road carefully just now, I am also half responsible."
He knew that the incident was not serious, but fortunately he was not injured. So he simply chose to let it go. His voice was calm and clear, so that every insect could hear: "I am not injured, and I don't feel any discomfort. Just be careful when you walk next time."
He nodded slightly after he finished speaking, then pulled the stunned Xie Laine straight upstairs.
Tang Yan's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. After all, everyone would be angry if they were bumped into for no reason. Even if they didn't punish him severely, they wouldn't just brush it off lightly.
Seeing this, Farley's classmate felt relieved. He turned around and knocked Farley's military cap hard, saying angrily, "Fool, don't listen to those bugs' instigation again. You just believe whatever they say! Fortunately, Tang Yanmian didn't pursue the matter. If it was another male bug, you would have been taken away by the Male Bug Protection Association!"
He still felt unsatisfied after he finished speaking, and pointed at the door and said, "You must run fifty laps around the training ground right now! You are not allowed to eat lunch!"
Farley nodded stupidly and ran out of the cafeteria immediately.
The farce finally came to an end. Everyone withdrew their gazes, but turned their attention to another thing, and couldn't help looking upstairs. If he saw it right, Major General Xie Laien was led upstairs by Tang Yanmian just now?
The female insects of the First Army had long known that the two of them had an ambiguous relationship, so they were not surprised at all and buried their heads in their food, leaving the female insects who did not know the inside story to guess blindly.
"Are Tang Yanmian and Major General Xie Lane together?"
"Tang Yanmian is a kind-hearted man. Whoever marries him will be lucky."
"I already knew that, but isn't Tang Yan Ge C-level? Why does the Empire say he is S-level?!"
"Idiot, don't you know the inside information? Tang Yanmian awakened from C-level to S-level! The C-level male insect with Major General Xie Lane was also the one who awakened to S-level!"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Tang Yan was unaware of the discussions. He pulled Xie Laine upstairs and found a seat. “I’m sorry, I was dealing with some things just now, so I accidentally came late.”
Xie Lane noticed a bruise on the back of Tang Yan's hand, and he felt distressed and angry. He pulled Tang Yan's hand, and, rarely disregarding his noble manners, he cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, that military bitch had the guts to bump into you!"
Tang Yan also found it strange: "His sense of balance is indeed not very good."
Xie Lain couldn't help but pause slowly when he heard this: "You didn't look at the Star Network, right?"
Tang Yan did not look at it: "What's wrong?"
Xie Lain hesitated for a moment, then handed him a miniature optical computer, which was somewhat similar to a tablet in later times. "Because too many people want to know the information of the S-class male insects, the Empire was forced to disclose your identity information this morning."
Tang Yan paused for a moment after hearing this. He stretched out his hand, intending to open the light brain to take a look, but for some reason, he slowly retracted his hand in mid-air: "It turns out that it was because my identity information was made public."
He only said one sentence, which was considered to be the answer to a series of abnormal situations today.
Xie Lain lowered his head and rubbed the back of his injured hand. He lowered his eyes and couldn't see his expression clearly: "Don't you want to read the comments on Starnet? There are many female insects who want to marry you."
Tang Yan thought about it at first, but then he stopped thinking about it because it had nothing to do with him. He held Xie Lain's hand, and felt that the female insect's fingertips were a little cold. He slowly tightened his grip and whispered seriously: "No, Xie Lain..."
"He only wants to marry an S-rank male insect, not me."
Tang Yan has always been very clear about one thing. He wrote a lot of things in order to earn money to treat his sick mother. As long as he could make money, he would write anything, and most of his works were about pleasure.
Most people face the cruelty of real life and try to find comfort in books. The protagonist's smooth life seems to have become a kind of spiritual sustenance. But Tang Yan has always been very clear that he is just an ordinary person. Even if the Zerg comes, the light and glory on his shoulders only come from his gender and level.
Before that, he had never done anything for the country, nor for the bad environment around him. Glory is illusory, as light as a puff of smoke, and will dissipate at any time.
He can be promoted to S-level today, and demoted to D-level tomorrow.
The male insects that the masses of Star Network want to marry can be Tang Yan or Xilio. It doesn't matter who it is, only the level is important.
In this strange era, the only thing Tang Yan did was to stay sober, nothing more. He always remembered that he was just an ordinary person, so he should not be arrogant or sink. He came from a flat world, so he should not let the empty pursuit of the people around him make his originally flat heart become uneven.
Tang Yan finally noticed Xie Ryan's uneasiness and slowly rubbed his cold hands until they became warm. Suddenly he said, "Xie Ryan, I have something to do tomorrow and I need to take a day off. I will not come to work at the military headquarters."
Xie Lain was startled when he heard this: "Where do you want to go? I'll take you there."
Tang Yan shook his head: "It's just a small matter, it can be done quickly. You are in the military department, right?"
Xie Lane nodded subconsciously when he heard this, not understanding why Tang Yan asked.
Tang Yan originally wanted to ask for Xie Laien's residential address, but he thought it would be too much of a fuss, so he gave up and planned to check it himself when he got back. Seeing two meals Xie Laien had just ordered on the table, he started eating with him.
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Xie Lain couldn't explain why, but he always felt that Tang Yan was a little strange, and even the food in his mouth tasted bad.
Tang Yan saw that he was unusually depressed, and guessed the reason in his heart, but deliberately didn't say it. He put the meat on the plate into his bowl and said, "Is it not delicious?"
Xie Laine thought that the food in the cafeteria always tasted terrible, but she didn't refuse Tang Yan's kindness yet, so she smiled and said, "No, it's okay, I was distracted just now."
There were many other female soldiers sitting on the second floor, some of them were generals or above, so ordinary soldiers didn't like to go upstairs to eat. It was like students in later generations who saw their teachers or leaders and couldn't hide away. So why would they go upstairs
Tang Yan noticed that a general was eating not far away, and sitting opposite him was a male insect, the one who was kicked in the butt by him this morning, and his name seemed to be Dick
Tang Yan couldn't help but look at it in confusion.
He, the famous general, had a handsome face, but for some reason, there were several intersecting scars on his side face. For female insects, this was a disaster, because a damaged face meant that they were isolated from male insects.
Tang Yan asked Xie Lane in a low voice: "Do you know that famous general?"
Xie Lain glanced back inconspicuously after hearing this, and soon understood who Tang Yan was talking about: "Are you referring to General Najin? His face was damaged during a mission three months ago and cannot be restored."
Tang Yan: "What's the relationship between him and the male insect opposite him?"
Shelain didn't know Dick at first, but thinking of the rumors about General Nakin in the military, he vaguely guessed: "But it was the male insect he rescued. I heard that there was an aircraft failure three months ago, and a male insect was trapped. General Nakin went to rescue and rescued a male insect before the explosion, but his face was injured as a result."
Xie Lain thought for a moment before saying, "The male insect's female and male fathers both died in the accident, and then he started to follow General Najin all the time, and he couldn't be driven away."
Among the Zerg, this kind of thing is quite rare.
Tang Yan thought it was no wonder that the military had sent in an A-level male insect for no apparent reason. He was thinking about the proposal, and he always felt that time was not enough. He hurriedly finished his meal, made up an excuse to go back to the infirmary for duty, and temporarily separated from Xie Lain.
Winton was sitting at another table. When he saw Tang Yan hurriedly leaving, he walked over to sit next to Xie Lain, put his hand on his shoulder and said jokingly, "Look at you, Xie Lain. You look so sad. What happened?"
Xie Lain drank a cup of tea, frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked back without any emotion: "What do you think will happen?"
For a moment I didn't realize he was being sarcastic or asking questions.
Winton shrugged and said in an exaggerated tone: "Didn't the Star Network say that there are many, many female insects, including sub-females, who want to marry Tang Yanmian."
Xie Lan was annoyed. Although he was confident that he would stand out among the female insects, the empire stipulated that male insects could have at least five female servants.
Maybe Tang Yan can be more special and have no problem taking in ten female servants.
Xie Lain had been instilled with this idea since he was born. It was obvious that it was a matter of course, but whenever he thought about other female insects sharing Tang Yan with him, his heart couldn't help but become heavier.
Xie Laine's lips curved coldly: "If he wants to marry, he should also consider whether he is qualified enough. What can he use to compete with me?"
After he finished speaking, he shook off Winton's hand on his shoulder, stood up, and left the cafeteria.
Ding! Please pay attention, the villain's darkness has risen to 43, please be vigilant!
The system flew around Tang Yan who had just walked out of the military department, looked him up and exclaimed in amazement: How did you do it? Your darkness has increased again.
From the system's point of view, this interface is too simple, but Tang Yan made the darkness fluctuate and full of twists and turns.
Tang Yanci knew the reason, but he refused to say: "Aren't you systematic? Can't you guess it yourself?"
The system snorted heavily: If I could guess, I wouldn’t be a system!
Tang Yan asked back: "You finally realized that you are not a person?"
Upon hearing this, the system glared with its non-existent eyes and flew in front of Tang Yan with a whoosh: Don’t think I don’t know that you are scolding me!
Tang Yan was dizzy and frowned: "Get out of the way, don't block the road, believe it or not, I will beat you up?"
The system was inexplicably aggrieved: Come on, hit me, hit me! Beat me to death!
"… "
Tang Yan didn't say anything. He stared at the system for a few seconds, then sneered. He didn't even bother with it. Instead, he reached out to stop a flying vehicle on the side of the road and left.
Tang Yan is not stupid. Who would have the leisure to hammer diamonds for fun
Seeing this, the system naturally assumed that Tang Yan had given up. It snorted with high morale and disappeared into the air in a flash.
Tang Yan is gay, but straight in character. You can say he is romantic, or you can say he is vulgar. When the word "propose" is mentioned, the only things that pop into his mind are flowers and rings.
"Thank you, florist."
Tang Yan got on the aircraft, covered his face with a mask, and planned to buy flowers first.
A sub-female piloting a flying machine. His physique was not as strong as that of a female insect, and his treatment was not as good as that of a male insect. He only did jobs with a low risk factor. When he saw Tang Yan wearing a mask, he did not think much about it, and just thought that he was a beautiful female insect, and quickly took him to a nearby flower shop.
Tang Yan paid and got out of the car. He walked into the flower shop, looked around, pointed at a bunch of gorgeous roses and asked the waiter: "I want 999 roses. Do you have enough in stock?"
The waiter was shocked when he heard this: "Nine... nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers, are you sure... Pavilion?"
He had sharp eyes and saw that there were no insect marks on Tang Yan's neck.
Tang Yan nodded.
The waiter was afraid that he would be angry, so he hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, but this variety of Permando roses is very rare and extremely difficult to survive. It only lasts for three months after being cut and watered, so ordinary flower shops don't buy too many of them. Would you like to take a look at the roses?"
"No, I just want roses."
Tang Yan did not get angry as the waiter expected, but asked, "How much stock do you have in your store?"
The waiter said tremblingly, "There are only sixty-three flowers. If you want to collect nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers, you need to go to a few more stores. The flower shop in the capital should have more in stock."
Tang Yan thought that proposing was not an easy thing, so he simply paid the deposit by swiping his credit card, ordered the bouquet of roses, and hailed a plane to another flower shop.
Only the waiter stared at Tang Yan's platinum hair and green eyes in a daze when he swiped his card and signed. He felt that he looked familiar for some reason, but he couldn't remember who he was.
"really weird… "
The waiter muttered to himself as he sat back at his seat. Seeing that no customers came, he reopened his optical computer and logged into the Star Network. He found that several of the hot search terms had changed, but all of them were related to the S-level Crown.
For example, that Crown actually already has a partner, who is Major General Shelain, the glorious star of the empire. For example, that Crown is actually the C-class male insect that had an affair with Major General Shelain before, but later awakened to become S-class, and can be called the most inspirational insect in the Chris Empire.
"Oh, hey!"
The waiter stared at the widely circulated photo on the Star Internet for a long time, and finally realized something. He slapped his head heavily, shocked.
"Isn't that the S-level male insect in that pavilion just now?!"
There are at least hundreds of flower shops in the capital, so it was not easy for Tang Yan to collect 999 Pullman roses. He barely managed to collect them until the next afternoon, and then found a more famous jewelry store to start choosing a ring.
In jewelry stores, male insects usually choose and female insects pay. There are not many male insects who come alone like Tang Yan. The waiter saw Tang Yan wearing a mask and stared at his neck for a moment. After finding that there were no insect marks, he smiled and welcomed him in: "Hello, dear sir, how can I help you?"
Tang Yan pulled the hood up: "I want to see the ring."
The waiter smiled even more happily: "Of course, please follow me."
Tang Yan originally thought that diamonds in the Zerg were the same as those on Earth, expensive and small, but that didn't mean they were unavailable. Who would have thought that diamonds were a scarce resource in the Zerg and had a market price? He mostly used gemstones to make jewelry, and the diamonds used to set rings were pitifully small.
If I have to describe it, it's probably smaller than a grain of rice.
Tang Yan used the magnifying glass on the table to look at the diamond on one of his silver rings, and found that it was not only small, but also not pure enough: "Is there no better quality one?"
The waiter kept smiling and said, "Sir, we have a three-carat diamond ring in our store, but it has been consigned for auction and will not be auctioned until a month later. Do you need me to help you reserve a spot?"
Months…
Even if Tang Yan, those roses are not, those roses, Xie Lane’s mental power is not.
Should I buy a gemstone ring? But Xie Lain would just use that kind of top-grade gemstone to inlay buttons. Wouldn't it be good to make a ring
"No, thanks."
Tang Yan picked for a while but didn't find any jewelry that suited his taste. He only bought a silver rose ring that was really beautiful. But it was bare and felt like something was missing.
The 999 roses had been sent home by the clerk. Tang Yan even bought 100 more roses to avoid losses. When he got home that night, he carefully wrapped the roses and put them in a gift box. Otherwise, if he went to the military headquarters with such a bouquet of flowers, he would definitely be watched.
The system flew out to watch the fun, and frantically tested the brink of death: Wow, you are so vulgar.
Tang Yan was picking up the scattered petals on the ground. Hearing this, he looked up at it and said in a calm and dangerous tone: "Do you want to die?"
The silver ring he bought was missing a diamond, and the system popping up at this time was tantamount to seeking death.
Being stared at by Tang Yan, the system felt a chill on its back. For some reason, it couldn't help but tremble. It retreated and said: You, you, you... What do you want to do? I warn you not to mess around!
In these days, the world is corrupt and some people may be so cruel that they may not even let the system go.
Tang Yan originally had only a casual thought, but as he stared at the system's radiant body, he suddenly found it more and more appealing. He stood up and walked in front of the system, and after a moment of silence, he hesitated and said, "You..."
The system panicked: Me? What happened to me
Tang Yan opened it slowly and asked tentatively, "Would you like me to take a piece?"
!!!!!!
The system had never heard such words before. It was so shocked that it was speechless. It asked in a surprised voice: What did you say? !
Tang Yan touched the tip of his nose and tried to negotiate in a friendly manner: "I can pay for it..."
The system pouted at him directly: Pooh! You can't afford it! I'll pay for it!
Tang Yan stretched out his hand and gestured a little: "I only need a little. How about it? Don't you want to lower Xie Laine's darkness? I can help you clear it within a week."
This condition is a bit tempting. The system also has a time limit for completing tasks. If Tang Yan's progress is faster, the extra time can be used to bind an extra host, so as to make up for the points that were deducted before.
The system asked doubtfully: Are you sure you can clear the villain's darkness within a week
The living room was filled with scattered rose petals and leaves, as red as blood. The night wind blew outside the window and scattered them everywhere. Tang Yan stood in the living room, in the quietness, and nodded gently: "I'm sure..."
He said in a low voice: "I know what Shelain wants..."
Tang Yan couldn't give it before, but now he can finally give it.
The system thought for a long time after hearing this, and finally gritted its teeth and made up its mind, as if it had made an important decision: Okay! I'll give you a piece!
It flew directly to Tang Yan and said in a domineering tone: Tell me! How much do you want
Tang Yan was stunned when he heard this, then he looked down at the silver ring on his hand: "Just a little is enough..."
You bastard, you are so stingy when proposing to me. Do you know that small diamonds are worthless?!
The system was so disappointed with the product that it dug a piece from its own body, carved it with its mental power, and embedded it directly into the rose ring: Take it!
The diamonds taken from it were not comparable to those inferior ones in jewelry stores, they were transparent, pure, and radiant. The diamonds inlaid on the silver wedding ring were so beautiful that one could not take their eyes away, and they shone softly in the moonlight, and could be called treasures.
Tang Yan didn't expect the system to be so generous, and was a little surprised: "You..."
System: Stop talking!
Tang Yan: “I…”
System: Shut up!
Tang Yan: “…”
The system touched the small piece of diamond missing from its body with a distressed look, and was about to cry. However, it remembered a saying on Earth: beauty lies in imperfection, and barely soothed its hurt mood, and said to Tang Yan sadly: Humph, stinky host, if you don't clear the villain's blackness within the specified time, you must return the diamond to me!
For the first time, Tang Yan felt that the system seemed pretty good. Hearing this, he slowly raised his hand and gestured "OK" in a slightly awkward manner.
A gesture that only the Earth can understand.
