Fleck gritted his teeth and added back the two bugs' salaries. Just when the two bugs were about to ask for year-end bonuses, he sneered and warned them, "Don't be too greedy as a bug."

Kenneth & Gatling: ...Okay.

The two bugs left the office while saying "Good luck to you, boss."

Only then did Fleck look at Lai Chong unhappily: "What are you doing here again?"

"He didn't contact me," Blake said simply.

Fleck was stunned for a second before he responded: "Ha! Served you right! You're not allowed to show off!"

"..."

Fleck rarely got back at Blake: "So you came to me for that gentleman's optical brain?"

Blake nodded.

"Okay!" Fleck held out his hand. "There are 21 optical computer numbers in total, and each number is one million. Considering our friendship, I'll give you a small amount, 3 million. Take the money."

"..."

Blake uttered two words: "Swindler."

"It's no use scolding me," Fleck just liked to see him get humiliated. "Don't forget that I'm a business guy. Even brothers have to settle accounts. If you have money, we can talk. If you don't have money, then forget it."

Blake: "...go back and let the bug beat you."

"Deal!" Fleck's smile became even more friendly: "I knew you guys are rich. We are all brothers, why are you being polite?"

"But! Brothers still have to stick to principles. I will send you the money when it arrives in my account."

Blake: "Swindler, I hope you still have some integrity."

"Of course, I can make sure that what I give you is your Excellency's optical computer," Fleck suddenly stopped smiling, "but how can you be sure that he will agree to talk to you?"

"..."

Fleck sighed, "Alas, brother, times have changed. This is the only king bug we have waited for five hundred years. You should put away your condescending attitude."

Blake: "He needs us."

"What do you need?" Fleck had long been fed up with their style. "You've seen that Your Excellency is very strong. He can even attack my spiritual sea in an instant through my spiritual power. Now he not only has the Lorraine Group protecting him from behind, but also the strongest S-class female Zerg Paten. What does he need from you?"

Fleck stood up. The female insect's glowing eyes in the dark had turned into vertical pupils. "You don't care who the king is. You just want to shape a king according to your ideas. What's the result?"

"Thousands of years have passed, and no king has survived the third evolution."

"I warn you, Blake. I won't stop you from contacting the Excellency, but if you continue to treat him the same way as before, I will never sit idly by."

Blake was silent for a long time, then said, "Then remember to give me your optical computer number."

"Pay first, then deliver."

"understood."

The only people who enjoyed this conversation were probably Kenneth and Gatlin, who got their wages back.

"Patern, what do you think of this one? It's a variant of the hydrangea arborescens. The season on the Imperial Star is very suitable for its growth."

On the third-floor balcony, Bai Meng was half-squatting on the ground, Paten was leaning against the wall, and the two bugs were choosing gifts for visiting Keith.

"Not bad," Paten said, "The teacher likes light blue, but sir, what do you mean by alien species?"

"Oh, I made some minor improvements. As long as there is sunlight and soil, it can probably grow to 2 meters tall."

Bai Meng, who didn't hear the answer, turned around and said, "What's wrong? Is it not suitable for Teacher Keith?"

"No, it's just for the teacher to use as a sunshade," Paten explained the silence just now: "I am just amazed at your creativity as a researcher."

"I'll take it as a compliment from you." Bai Meng tore off the black sunshade cloth on the flowerpot and brought the flowerpot to the first floor.

"Leave it to 002. It knows what to do."

After washing his hands, Bai Meng sat on the sofa with Paten waiting for dinner. Bai Meng repeated what happened today to Paten: "009 is a bug-like robot like 008. Paten, do you want to guess who 009 is?"

Paten recalled, took out his optical computer and searched for an extremely beautiful female with long white and pink hair and white and pink eyes: "This one?"

Bai Meng was surprised: "How did you guess that? Was there a flaw somewhere?"

"No flaws, sir. 009's disguise is perfect."

Paten said, "It's just that I happened to see it seducing a noble male insect at a dinner party once. When its hand touched the male insect's heart, a bullet burst out from its palm, and the male insect died on the spot."

"..."

Bai Meng coughed embarrassedly: "Well, that's really a coincidence."

"But I can assure you! It was definitely not 009 who made the first move!"

Paten nodded: "I believe you, sir."

Bai Meng was very happy: "I believe you too, Paten."

"Oh? Then why didn't you tell me that you were going to look for the aliens?"

"..."

Bai Meng sat up, put his hands on his knees, and explained to Paten seriously: "Although I don't know how you knew it, I really didn't want to hide it from you."

"There are too many uncertainties in this experiment, and I am currently tied up with the affairs of the Imperial Star. I don't plan to go to the front line to look for aliens in the short term."

"So you still want to go?" asked Paten.

Bai Meng nodded: "Yes, this is very important, Paten."

"Alas," Paten said helplessly: "Okay, sir, I won't stop you because I believe in your strength."

"But I must go with you. This is stipulated in the contract, and I am also responsible for your safety."

"Okay!" Bai Meng really enjoyed the feeling of having a bug on his back, and couldn't help but hold Paten's hand: "I must go with you, but you have to stay away from me."

Paten reminded: "Sir, I know much more about alien races than you do."

"Is that so? Then I have a question to ask," Bai Meng asked the question that had been on his mind: "Aliens can cause the female insect's spiritual sea to riot and cause insect transformation, but what about male insects?"

"…I really don't know that, Your Excellency."

Paten stroked Bai Meng's smooth silver-white hair and said, "Other male insects will not go to the battlefield for the safety of female insects."

"Sir, you are precious, there is only one of you."

Bai Meng shook his head: "I am very selfish, Paten, I just want to end my regrets."

"What regret?"

Perhaps it was because the bug beside him was too gentle at the moment, or perhaps it was because he had not expressed his wishes for too long. With the bitterness suppressed in his heart, Bai Meng asked Paten after a long silence.

"Patern, tell me, if I hadn't been so playful six years ago and hadn't been spoiled by Lorraine, would I have done better and more than I do now... Would Lorraine, like Scott, not have died?"

The sun had already set, and just at that moment the moon shed a tear.
