Chapter 1: The Insect Tribe

When Tong Sui awoke, he found himself surrounded by a mess. The rental apartment had clearly not been cleaned in a long time, with the leftovers from takeout giving off an awful stench. The only relatively clean thing was the single bed he lay on.

Tong Sui frowned.

The voice of the system soon echoed in his head, temporarily blocking out the foul smells in the air, saying: “Dear, if you do not feel discomfort elsewhere, we can begin the transmission of information about the first world.”

Tong Sui nodded.

The system’s data was directly fed into his mind.

[“This is a novel set in a world of insect tribes. In this setting, the number of male insects is extremely rare, and their physical condition is poor, making them treasures on the planet, replete with numerous benefits and protective institutions, and they are allowed to marry multiple female insects. Female insects are categorized into sub-females and military females. Sub-females have an average constitution, are far more numerous, and form the core of society. Military females, on the other hand, are larger and possess strong combat abilities, serving in various wars.

The villain Bai Xingluo is the empire’s strongest military female. Due to her agitated mental state, she inadvertently harmed a male insect, the main character Lu Ting, who is now facing the death penalty.”

“As a male insect with mental power level D, you need to find a way to save this villain.”]

Hearing this, Tong Sui could not help but furrow his brow, his eyes filled with confusion. The virtual screen displayed news related to Bai Xingluo.

On the screen, she appeared strikingly beautiful in her deep blue military uniform, adorned with various medals that shone brilliantly. She had made countless contributions to the empire and was a well-deserved strongest general.

However, her powerful mental state, combined with the frequent battles and lack of soothing from male insects, exacerbated Bai Xingluo’s agitation far worse than any other military female. Though she had shed her deep blue uniform, her prominent muscle contours were still visible beneath her shirt. Her pale eyes were cold as ice, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure.

At a glance, she was clearly someone not to be trifled with—yes… a female insect.

Tong Sui couldn’t help but worry about his future. Before binding with the system, he was just an ordinary student who had completed his college entrance exams. During a graduation trip, he encountered a disaster and tragically passed away.

The system provided him with a chance for rebirth. In return, he needed to traverse various worlds, face different villains, and fulfil the system’s demands.

Under strict academic pressure, Tong Sui lacked rich life experiences, with absolutely zero experience in social life. Now in this unfamiliar world, he felt lost about what to do next.

His gaze fell on the takeout boxes strewn about the rental apartment and the dirty environment. If he was lacking experience, the original male insect had zero life experience. He relied solely on takeout and subsidies, living without working or cleaning, which led to the current state where it was hard to even navigate the space.

While Tong Sui wasn’t exactly a cleanliness fanatic, he had minimum standards for his living environment. The cleaning robot in his home was broken, and doing the cleaning manually would be a daunting task for a frail male insect, likely costing him half his life.

After pondering for a moment, he accessed the original owner’s smart device and used the meagre balance in the account to order a home cleaning service.

“Ding dong ding dong.”

It took just a few minutes from ordering to arrival. A few female insects descended from their flying devices, carrying professional cleaning equipment, and began to mock: “Which useless female insect placed the order this time?”

“They can’t even provide a comfortable environment for a male insect; insects like that truly embarrass us.”

After marriage, all aspects of a male insect’s life are managed by female insects, while unmarried males are generally cared for by the family. So, in their subconscious, they believed that precious male insects shouldn’t worry about hygiene—let alone be the ones to place orders.

However, just as a few female insects were complaining, the tightly shut door suddenly opened slightly, revealing a narrow crack.
