Chapter 1 Journey's Start

At this moment, the ignorant Queen was still strolling around after dinner like an old man—no, like an old woman.

"Wow, what's this? So black and thick!"

Lin Mo asked in surprise, her little face blushing.

"..."

"Your Majesty, please don't make such a fuss. You should have some memory of this..." Kaka suddenly realized halfway through speaking that the Queen was being mischievous again. She was definitely acting!

"Ahem, yes, Your Majesty. If you want it, Kaka will have the zerglings bring it back for you."

Lin Mo glanced at Kaka. She was becoming less and less adorable, and she wasn't well-behaved at all.

"Your Majesty, someone's coming."

"Oh? So fast? I thought the leader here would be the type to be hopelessly addicted to parties."

"Your Majesty, this person is very dangerous!" Kaka said seriously.

Lin Mo immediately dropped her playful attitude and stared solemnly at the corner where the footsteps were coming from. A man in faded repairman overalls walked out.

He stared at Lin Mo with a puzzled expression, muttering something under his breath.

"Your Majesty, this guy probably isn't at the sixth level. His attributes are very strange. The energy in his body is dried up, but he hasn't died, and his crystal core has disappeared."

"A native?"

"Yes, Kaka thinks it's very likely."

The two, Queen and Zerg, appeared calm on the surface, but in the Zerg network, they had already completely planned out their next move.

"Hi, hello." Lin Mo waved with a smile.

"..."

The other party didn't speak, still staring at Lin Mo with a puzzled expression.

"Beloved..."

"Huh? What did you say? Beloved? Who? Me?"

"Beloved... target confirmed." The originally clear eyes gradually dimmed, losing focus, as if he had suddenly transformed from a carbon-based lifeform into a silicon-based one. It was very strange.

"Kaka, what is he talking about?"

"...Your Majesty, if Kaka's guess is correct, someone has already noticed your existence. That 'Beloved' is probably your code name."

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then thought about what she had been doing recently. It was normal to be noticed. After all, she had done a lot of things.

But this title... why was it so embarrassing? Who wants to be called Beloved? She was a man! Wait, was she a man?

She looked down at her slightly pigeon-toed feet, gritted her silver teeth, and endured the discomfort, forcefully turning them outwards. She took two steps in a macho way. Yes, she was indeed a man!

Kaka: ??? What was the Queen doing? Was her leg broken? Oh well, she was still very cute, so she was still their Queen!

The man stood motionless. Lin Mo walked towards him step by step, keeping a distance of three meters—a safe distance.

"Hey, look up."

"Yes!"

"Uh..." Lin Mo was taken aback. How did he suddenly become her subordinate?

But this wasn't a good thing. Lin Mo saw it as a demonstration, as if he were saying, "Woman, give up. Your strength is nothing compared to mine."

Although she didn't know what was going on, Lin Mo really felt like someone was coveting her, and a chill ran down her spine.

This wasn't good. The Queen was very unhappy.

"What's your name?"

Although she didn't like it, she wasn't going to waste free bio-energy.

"..."

"No name?"

The man nodded.

"What are you doing here?"

The man told Lin Mo everything, including waking up, being awakened by a woman, and his purpose here.

As for the events before that, he explained them very simply, but they were all things Lin Mo already knew. After all, the Overmind contained the memories of the natives Lin Mo had initially devoured.

Although they were fragmented, Kaka had pieced together a rough worldview.

Lin Mo rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment. This wasn't good. The coup was about to start before she even arrived. What about the plot she wanted to see?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo cleared her throat. "You just stay by my side obediently and don't go anywhere. As for your previous mission, it's canceled."

"...Yes!"

[Obedience, First Executor 'Beloved']

The deep voice echoed in the man's mind.

"Kaka, send a few overseer zerglings to monitor everything for me. Pay attention to the location of that so-called space station. I want to know immediately if there's any movement."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Kaka was also puzzled. She had been having the zerglings pay attention to the movements up above. But since the Queen had spoken, she would increase their numbers.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hao, who hadn't found the suspect, was getting impatient. "A bunch of useless trash. You can't even handle this little thing. What good are you?"

"Brother Hao, calm down. It's not good to get angry. But that guy is really hateful. Today is Xue'er's birthday, and he still dares to do this. Everyone knows that Brother Hao dotes on Xue'er the most. I think he's deliberately trying to provoke you."

"Alright, I know you're upset too, but don't exaggerate!"

The woman's face turned pale, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. Zhao Hao, today is your day to die!

"What? Not satisfied?" If it were before, Zhao Hao wouldn't have cared what the woman was up to, but after what happened to Xue'er today, Zhao Hao had become suspicious. He couldn't help but overthink things. He understood the ancient saying, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Too many people coveted his position, and he couldn't afford not to be careful.

"No, Brother Hao, I'm just too anxious. I was wrong. I promise I won't do it again."

Arguing was useless. Their positions weren't equal. It would only increase his anger. It was better to apologize and preserve her strength.

The others didn't dare to speak, afraid that the uncontrollable anger would suddenly be vented on them.

Just then, a man in repairman overalls walked out.

A hint of joy flashed in the woman's eyes. Although she was trying her best to control herself, her heart was still racing. She swallowed. This was the first time she had done something like this. It was a turning point in her life.

Zhao Hao glanced at him and asked calmly.

"Who are you?"

"..."

He frowned.
