Ling Xuan had just finished drinking the Zerg king medicated soup inside Ling Yun's cockpit and felt that the soup was a little sweeter compared to last night.
Ling Xuan was still concentrating secretly. He thought he had to control himself to avoid confusion after drinking a whole bowl of Zerg king medicinal soup.
But in order to maintain an excellent mental state, he has to drink this soup.
Last night, Ling Xuan carefully felt it. It was only a half bowl of soup, but it was enough to increase his mental physique by 20% for two hours. Other than the slightly cheating confusion buff, there were no other side effects afterward!
Unexpectedly, the soup he drank today was a slightly different taste from last night. There was no feeling of emotion after drinking it.
It seems that Yaoyao made some adjustments again.
Ling Xuan smiled in his heart. He agreed that it was better to drink the pure-hearted version when he was outside. However, it would also be good to drink the original version in a safe environment.
After drinking the soup last night, a certain little fairy enthralled him so enthusiastically and refused to let him go. However, today she was very cold and avoided him several times.
Ling Xuan actually knew that the little girl was shy. But he still can't help feeling a bit wronged and jealous... Damn, she can chat so happily with the Zerg king, 168, and 012, so why did she ignore him?
If it was only the two of them here... he would entangle this little girl even if she ignored him.
Although the Zerg king meat is very good, now the Zerg king 168 has become more and more sensible and understands more things. It is impossible to fool it to be their long-term source of Zerg meat.
These few days, they have spared no effort to feed it good-quality supplementary foods with almost no impurities. Although the Zerg king does not eat as much as before, the improvement is not small. Now it has advanced from SSS minus level to SSS level.
After the Zerg king, 168, advances to the SSS plus level, it would awaken space teleportation skills. Probably it will no longer be able to increase its strength by eating ordinary Zerg meat. Eating its own meat will not only prevent it from improving its strength, but it will also hurt. At that time, 168 might still set its sights on humans again.
Therefore, Ling Xuan can now slowly close the net.
He wants to use the Zerg king, 168, as a breakthrough point to deal with the Tarzhers Star Alliance. He wanted to take his army to the Tarzhers Star Territory, not only to rescue Wei Ling and Qian Yao, but also to destroy the biggest support of the Tarzhers Alliance—the ability to control Zergs.
The Tarzhers relied on some special means to control the fleshy peach worm Zergs, the most advanced and controllers in the Zerg race. This allows them to drive the majority of the Zerg races to fight for them, violating the interstellar race struggle convention.
If the Tarzhers no longer control the most advanced Zergs, the Zergs will only recognize the Zerg king, 168, as the emperor. Even the so-called "Tarzhers gods" will also become one of Zerg's food. Who knows if the Tarzhers will regret it then?
However, no one is to blame. If they wanted to blame anyone, it was not the Huanuo Empire.
The Zerg king, 168, has been getting along with Ling Yaoyao and 012 for a few days and Ling Xuan is their companion. Ling Xuan also carried many of the supplementary foods for 168 before 012 took it out and shared them with 168.
Now 168's dislike for Ling Xuan has slowed down a lot.
168 also fear of danger. Although the Zerg king 168's own strength is constantly increasing, Ling Xuan is also constantly improving. Now his aura is much stronger than when he first fought with 168.
Therefore, the Zerg king, 168, was suspicious of what Ling Xuan said earlier, but it would also take it seriously.
Judging by the Zerg king's level of thinking, it cannot hear Ling Xuan's seductive and deceptive words or his hidden intentions. It only knows the most obvious meaning.
'Yes, as long as I go back and eat the meat of another fleshy peach worm Zerg, it doesn't have to hurt!'
And because of the powerful self-healing ability of the fleshy peach worm Zerg, as long as 168 does not eat them all at once, it can have a steady stream of delicious Zerg meat!
Not all fleshy peach worm Zergs are as picky and afraid of pain as 168. Other fleshy peach worm Zergs are not as intelligent, but they also have a certain degree of wisdom, which means they do not only know how to eat, but they will eat selectively. Because of this, the meat of the fleshy peach worm Zerg will be exceptionally delicious.
The Zerg king, 168, felt that Ling Xuan made a lot of sense. What is wrong with being the emperor of cubs it spawns?
168 is such a smart Zerg. It should be the emperor of all Zerg races! It would raise other fleshy peach worm Zergs in captivity who will become its "subordinates" and "long-term rations"!
The Zerg king, 168, was aroused by ambition and appetite. Its nine big eyes looked expectantly in Ling Xuan's direction. "Ah, can this baby really be the Zerg king? What should I do?"
Ling Xuan said in a low voice, "First of all, you have to cooperate with my people for a physical examination. Let us see why the Tarzhers control you... If it is possible, we will let you return to freedom and no longer be controlled by them. Then you can truly become the emperor of Zergs in the future."
Ling Xuan said this certainly. His subordinates have found a large number of Zerg crystals on Molan. They had collected these Zerg crystals and sent them to the Gray Wolf Army Laboratory for the most comprehensive research.
They discovered that in addition to the ingredients that promote birth, the Zerg crystals have also contained human blood, which has caused all the Zergs to be born fascinated by human flesh and blood.
As for the piece of meat that Ling Yaoyao got from Zerg king yesterday, in addition to Ling Yaoyao's food research, Ling Xuan also sent a sample to the most cutting-edge medical researchers on the battleship for analysis. The preliminary research results show that the Zerg king meat itself contains a tiny amount of extremely peculiar Zerg-like blood.
This Zerg-like blood component is suspected of coming from the Tarzhers themselves. It might be the cause of why the Zergs naturally surrendered to the Tarzhers.
The ancestors of the Tarzhers have the bloodlines of the top ancient Zerg races, so their bloodlines are even more noble and pure than the most advanced fleshy peach worm Zergs. Among the Zergs, high-level Zergs have absolute suppression against the low-level Zergs. They will also swallow the same level bravely, but low-level Zergs would never dare to covet the high-level Zergs.
Therefore, the Tarzhers can cultivate the fleshy peach worm Zergs by using their own diluted blood to make them naturally surrender. Then they control the fleshy peach worm Zergs, which are the highest level among the Zerg races and are good at mental control. This is how they control the entire Zerg race.
This is the secret that Zerg king, 168, is not allowed to speak out, but there is no absolute secret in this world.
Extracting some blood and removing unfavorable components will take time, but it is not a very complicated matter for medical technology in the interstellar age. The difficult thing is how to perform such an operation on the Zerg king. They can't make any big move on 168's body and are only able to do injections or oral medicine or food. As long as the blood of the Tarzhers on 168 is removed, it will no longer be controlled by the Tarzhers.
Ling Yaoyao didn't know these details. She was so shocked that she even forgot her shame. She couldn't help but ask Ling Xuan, "Ah, can this really be done?"
Ling Xuan said seriously, "Of course, we can!"
With that said, he took out the research report sent to him by the experimenter. Also, he forwarded a copy to Ling Yaoyao, proving that he was not lying.
Ling Xuan turned to look at the Zerg king, 168. "Then, I will find a way to upgrade your level to SSS plus quickly, and you will take us back to your hometown. You are responsible for conquering Zergs, and we will help you to contain those Tarzhers gods."
Ling Xuan looked at Ling Yaoyao, who was still looking at the information he gave her, and smiled slightly. "As for how to raise 168's mental power to the SSS plus level, it depends on you, my beautiful and lovely master food therapist lady! "
Ling Xuan obviously valued and trusted her and said this with a touch of affection. Ling Yaoyao's face was slightly hot, and she hurriedly said, "It's just to make more supplementary medicinal soups that can enhance the spiritual power of 168... I will try."
However, it is estimated that she still has to use 168's meat as the main ingredient, and the weight cannot be too small... 囧!
Ling Xuan concluded, "When you become the Emperor of Zergs, you can eat whatever you want. No one can control you anymore."
Although the Zerg king, 168, is stupid, it is not that easy to fool. It almost asked sharply, "Then, once we go back to the Tarzhers Star Territory and I will be the Zerg emperor, will Ling Yaoyao and your food therapist continue to make supplementary food for me?"
When this problem was asked, the entire room was stagnant.
Whether it is Ling Xuan, Ling Yaoyao, or blood vine 012, they are all aware of the answer to this problem. Of course, it is—no!
But if they answer this question so bluntly, then all the previous fudging will fall short!
Ling Xuan was very angry. This Zerg king dares to think about stealing his wife from him?!
But after calming down, Ling Xuan did not show his dislike at all but said in a low voice, "It's impossible for Yaoyao to provide you with food for a long term. However, since you and Yaoyao are friends, we can occasionally provide it to you. It's not impossible to get the food she made. Humans and Zergs can establish business cooperation in the future. You provide us with raw Zerg meat, and we provide you with processed Zerg meat."
After a pause, Ling Xuan continued, "If you don't want to, then you can go back to the days when you ate raw meat!"
After listening to the first half, 168 was originally very disappointed. 'What, I will not be able to eat such delicious food every day in the future?'
But after hearing the second half. 'God, eating raw meat every day? Is that a proper life of a good Zerg?!'
As the saying goes, it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. The Zerg king 168 is now already in this state. After letting it taste the incomparable delicacy, and then return to the days when it could only eat raw meat and drink raw blood? If it weren't for extreme hunger, how could it still eat the raw meat full of impurities?
But if it follows Ling Xuan, it can remove the control of the Tarzhers gods and let it become a free bug. 168 knows a lot of common sense now, and it naturally yearns for freedom. It is dissatisfied with the Tarzhers gods who control them. In other words, 168 faced a great temptation.
Ling Yaoyao's supplementary treatment food can increase mental power, and 168 knows that. Even though 168 eats its own meat in the soup, it has been purified and added with many materials. 168 feels that its mental power has increased slightly, and its physique has become more refined...
Although this thread is insignificant for its huge spiritual domain and body size, the improvements do exist. If it can eat more, the effect will definitely be more obvious.
The Zerg king, 168, shook. Its nine big eyes looked in the direction of Ling Yaoyao and 012.
012 has read a lot of "Chicken Soup for the Soul," and now it is talking about it, "If you are not happy to be a free bug or be a Zerg king, you can find another owner you like! Always try new experiences. Only when you are free can you discover more excitement!"
Ling Yaoyao was embarrassed but also encouraged, "168 is so powerful and cute. Just do what you want to do. I will fully support you!"
As a result, 168 was fascinated by these sugar-coated shells made of food. It was completely brainwashed by the humans.
Regardless of whether these humans have any purpose, at least they have shown enough sincerity. 168 made a choice which is more beneficial to it.
If the people of Tarzhers Star learn about it, they will probably be incomparably shocked. The Zerg-shape nuclear weapon they used to plunder resources from the human race could actually be brainwashed by the human race! It even helps humans deal with them in turn!
However, it is not surprising that where there is oppression, there will be resistance. The Tarzhers use the Zerg as a weapon but have never considered anything for them. It is no wonder that they will lose popularity and support.
An oral cooperation agreement was reached. In order to cooperate with the planning process, the Zerg king, 168, was injected with an analgesic and anesthetic for its physique research by a human doctor, and then Ling Xuan personally cut out more Zerg meat from it.
The wound will heal quickly. After the anesthetic had worn off, the Zerg king, 168, did not feel any pain. 168 even personally handed over the removed meat to Ling Yaoyao, and asked her to help purify and cook it, making it into a supplementary therapy medicated soup that can enhance its mental power and strengthen its physique.
After continuous cutting of meat, the fleshy peach worm Zerg king, who was originally a kilometer tall, was visibly thinner... But it also received a steady flow of medicinal soup to drink. It was not easy to grow meat after drinking soup, but the soup makes its meat quality more refined.
The Zerg king, 168, was happy and annoyed at the same time. "I'm trying to grow up, but now that I am smaller. How can I become the Zerg king when I go back? Other people of the same clan will definitely laugh at me..."
Fleshy peach worm Zergs particularly eat a lot and are especially capable of growing flesh. Each peach worm is very large. From the beginning, it was the strongest kind because it swallowed several other Zerg races easily.
012 hastened to release all kinds of cartoons that promote "thin are beautiful" for 168!
It also turned its four-to-five-meter-tall combat form into a pocket-sized figure that was only half a meter tall. Then it acted like a baby to Ling Yaoyao and begged for a hug.
This is also the first time Ling Yaoyao has left her mecha, Ling Bo, in front of the Zerg king because she can now be sure that 168 will not hurt her.
Ling Xuan also left his mecha and stood beside Ling Yaoyao while being highly guarded.
The Zerg king, 168, blinked its huge eyes and felt very envious of them. It was originally tall and strong, but it gradually began to feel that bigger is not better. It grows too big, and its body is extremely slow. If its mental power can't control the opponent, it can't even fight anything.
For example, Ling Xuan. 168's mental power cannot completely suppress Ling Xuan. No matter how strong the body is, how quickly it recovered, it is useless. 168 can't beat this human being, nor can it run from him!
As a result, the Zerg king decided to quickly lose weight.
One month later, the Zerg king, 168, was greatly slimmed-up, but its mental strength and physique changed from SSS level to close to SSS+ level!
At the same time, Ling Yaoyao's mental power was upgraded to SS+, and her physique was also upgraded to A+.
Ling Xuan's mental power was upgraded to SSS+, and his physique was upgraded to SS+.
Even the blood vine, 012, who often eat and drink with 168, has also been promoted to the sixth level, equal to the SS level of mental power and physique in humans!
80% of the meat taken from 168 was cooked by Ling Yaoyao and returned to it. Ling Yaoyao kept the remaining 20% as payment for the cost of the medicinal materials, labor cost, and accessories she gave out to 168.
As for the lack of medicinal materials and food supplements, Ling Yaoyao directly went to the Blue Kite Merchant League of the Ye family to buy them. They basically got them at a cost price, so it didn't cost much.
With SSS-grade Zerg king meat as the main material, various fifth-grade and sixth-grade medicinal materials as auxiliary materials, and constant opportunities for practice, Ling Yaoyao is now able to make the sixth-grade superior supplementary medicinal soup.
As a thank you, Ling Yaoyao also sent some soup to Ye Xi, Xia Shu, Wei Yuan, Qiao Mingyao, and Zhao Qingyun to improve their mental strength and physique a few times.
Of course, the amount of Zerg king meat in it is much less. The curative effect is probably in the middle or upper levels. After all, Zerg king meat is too rare. Ye Xi and the others have no reason to quickly improve their mental strength and physique.
But the diluted version of Zerg king medicated soup is also several times stronger than ordinary supplementary foods.
Ye Xi's mental domain had completely recovered, and Xia Shu's body had recovered much faster. The mental power and physique of the rest of the group also increased.
In the video, Ling Yaoyao told Wei Yuan that she would leave the Handsome Star Squad team and follow the Nighthawks for the time being. If she can't return to school in time, she asks them to help her ask for leave.
From the medicated soup that Ling Yaoyao sent to them, which already reached the sixth level with high-level curative effect, Wei Yuan knew that his little sister stayed in the Nighthawks team not only because she wanted to get along with Ling Xuan. Supplementary food at this level is comparable to the work made by her master's food therapist, Cai Youhong!
In the Nighthawks team, she can reach the full potential of her talent and ability without any cover.
Wei Yuan could only tell her to be careful. However, Wei Yuan, Qiao Mingyao, and Zhao Qingyun had to leave Yilan ahead of time. They had to return to the Imperial Capital first because the Imperial Capital also started a Zerg war!
Ye Xi had to take a rest for a while, and Yilan had not officially lifted its martial law, so she stayed behind temporarily instead of going back with them.
Ling Yaoyao prepared a batch of supplementary therapy medicated soups with excellent curative effect for Wei Yuan and other portable supplementary foods, including sixth-level high-grade Zerg king meat, especially for the two grandfathers and grandmother to nourish their bodies.
The Imperial Capital Star was also attacked by another Zerg wave, indicating that Xiao Ming and the Tarzhers Star Alliance had taken action.
Xiao Ming and the Tarzhers Star Alliance must have known about Ling Xuan's containment of the SSS-level Zerg king at Yilan.
It's just that they definitely can't imagine that the Nighthawks did not just struggle to contain the Zerg king, but they have successfully instigated the Zerg king to reach the base camp of the Tarzhers Alliance.
After all these chores, the researchers in the Nighthawks team had finally developed an injection to wash away the Tarzhers blood from 168's body and began to inject it regularly.
And Ling Yaoyao also began to prepare the supplementary medicated food that can turn 168 into an SSS plus level and maintain that level for more than one day!
As long as these last two tasks are completed, they can let 168 use its space transition skills to generate a wormhole vortex and take them to the Tarzhers starfield...
At this time, the weight loss was successful. The shrunken Zerg King 168 finally managed to jump out of the lair where it had been trapped for a long time!
The soldiers in mechas and fighter planes driving around the lair entrance were all approaching the enemy cautiously. However, because of Ling Xuan's order, they only dared to follow from a distance and did not dare to come closer.
This is the first time that most of them have seen a live Zerg king. 'Mother of god... such a big one. How big is the cave inside?'
However, without the body and spiritual pressure of the Zerg king in the cave, the entire huge barren mountain collapsed suddenly.
Fortunately, the Zerg eggs, larvae, and the Zerg silk shed by 168 had long been collected by the people sent by Ling Xuan.
168 found that the sky outside was blue, the grass was green, and the air was much fresher. No wonder its cubs were reluctant to stay in the cave and eat soil and always wanted to come out early to see the outside world!
Its whole body is much lighter, and its thousands of Zergs legs were happily sprinted quickly! This is the feeling of freedom!
The blood vine, 012, sat on top of the 100-meter-tall fair and tender Zerg king's head. They looked like a giant pink Zerg worm with a dazzling red flower on top of its head.
012 used hundreds of vines together, trying to stabilize its small body of only five meters while screaming, "Ah, 168, you are too tall, too fast, slow down..."
