After a few days of rest (?), Lin Hao could finally get out of bed and move around.
He had almost forgotten what the ground felt like.
Wuwuwu.
During these days, Lin Hao had gone through most of his high school materials. Although not with great depth, it was passable.
'Ding ding ding.'
Lin Hao looked down at the unknown number on the Star Network, thought for a minute, then clicked to answer.
Then he saw the face of the Federation's President, Xie Wen. Seeing that the Insect King had answered, Xie Wen's stern expression immediately changed to a smile as he said to Lin Hao, "How is your health now? Do you need us to send doctors to give you a check-up?"
Sitting in his office, Xie Wen looked at the impossibly cute boy opposite him and truly couldn't associate him with those insects.
But every time he had this thought, he would remember how this harmless boy had annihilated that vine with a single basic attack, and then he would silently slap himself in the mind.
After these few encounters, it was evident that among the insect race, only this Insect King seemed to be capable of conversation.
Alas, speaking of which, he remembered the events of a couple of days ago.
Because the Insect King was injured, he, as the President of this planet, should fulfill his duty of hospitality and take good care of the injured. But when he arrived at his villa.
He saw a woman walking out of the room. Because she was unfamiliar and not one of the three great commanders of the insect race, and moreover, she looked very cute, he tried to ask her for news about the Insect King.
"Excuse me, how is the Insect King's health now?" he had asked at the time.
But what he received was a cold stare, and then she went inside without saying anything.
At the time, he had merely thought that this cute girl was simply unaccustomed to speaking with humans.
However, every insect he encountered subsequently seemed to not see him.
Alas, telling this story truly brings tears of sorrow.
In his many years as President, he had never been so ignored.
It was much better with this Insect King; at least when you spoke to him, he would respond, not leave you talking to yourself.
"Hmm? My body is fine, it's just that Alpha and the others made a fuss and insisted I rest in bed."
Hearing Xie Wen's concern, Lin Hao had a moment of confusion, then realized what was happening. He then looked into Xie Wen's eyes and said.
Actually, Lin Hao had a rather good impression of the Federation's President.
This good impression was so subtle that he himself hadn't noticed it. He always felt like he knew Xie Wen, but he couldn't recall when he might have met this President.
So he dismissed the idea of having met him before.
Perhaps, this President just had a look that suited his aesthetic.
Seeing the doting look in Lin Hao's eyes when he mentioned his insects, Xie Wen knew that this Insect King was indeed easy to get along with. Oh, no, an easy-to-get-along-with insect.
He felt that future interactions would be much smoother.
"That's good. If you have any problems, you can call this number. This is my private line," Xie Wen said, looking into Lin Hao's eyes.
"Okay, okay." Seeing that Xie Wen was proactively adding him as a friend, Lin Hao saw no reason to refuse.
After a few more words, they hung up the call.
He walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside, thinking, "If the plants outside were real, they would surely be very beautiful. Alas, it seems this planet cannot grow them due to its soil quality and climate."
A bit of a pity.
However, as a border planet of the Federation, there was no need for it to be overly beautiful.
After all, before he was reborn, this planet was frequently raided by pirates.
It was better to focus on developing technology.
He wondered if any pirates were still scouting here now. If they came now and saw so many people here, their leader would probably be stunned.
"Hahahahaha."
Thinking of that scene, Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If that were to happen, it would probably be a case of being robbed instead of robbing.
Another two days passed.
The Federation convened another assembly.
When Lin Hao received the notification, the meeting had already started ten minutes ago. He hurriedly got out of bed, folding his quilt as he said to Alpha, "You knew about this meeting beforehand, didn't you? Why didn't you wake me up!"
Don't ask how Lin Hao knew Alpha knew about the meeting; it was because he could read it in Alpha's eyes.
"This subject wished for the King to sleep a little longer. Besides, whether we attend this meeting or not makes no difference," Alpha replied to the cub's question without concealment, stating his true thoughts.
Besides, the meeting was at eight o'clock. At this time, it was the cub's sleeping hour. How could he be woken up to attend a meeting? They could wake up to attend a meeting, but the cub couldn't.
The cub was still in his juvenile stage, and sleep could not be neglected.
Hearing this, Lin Hao was slightly stunned and stood in place for a moment. Then he said to Alpha, "I can wake up before eight o'clock."
Damn it, Lin Hao, you're really living backward these days. Before, he could go days without sleeping and not feel tired, but now he had to discuss whether to wake up at eight.
Lin Hao was self-deprecating as he quickly got himself ready.
When they appeared in the conference hall, everyone looked at Lin Hao, making him want to dig a hole to hide in.
So damn awkward.
Sigh, the last time he was this awkward was the last time.
Although Lin Hao's inner thoughts were rich, he calmly sat down in his designated seat.
Upon reaching his seat, Lin Hao glanced at Xi'er and the others who had come with him and noticed that their faces showed no sign of abnormality.
Their faces seemed to convey, 'My attendance is the greatest favor I can bestow upon you, so why would you expect me to be on time?'
Seeing this, Lin Hao unexpectedly felt that their lateness was justifiable.
Tsk.
No, no, he couldn't think like that. Being late was immoral.
Xie Wen saw this scene but said nothing, continuing, "Have you found the person behind this?"
His question was met with silence.
It was a testament to the strong capabilities of the 'unknown creature's' mastermind that even after days of searching by almost all races in the universe, there was still no news.
It was truly unsettling.
Mini-theater:
As expected, this genre is really unpopular. Not many people are watching. Seeing my viewership steadily decline every day makes me feel down. Alas.
Another day of wanting to finish the story.
Guazi will do a backflip for you all here.
Life is not easy, Guazi is performing acrobatics for a living.
Can you recommend my son to your little sisters? Hehe (shamelessness in progress)
Love you all.
