So…
Is this number completely real?
Some of the female insects have already covered their mouths, shouting out loud, their eyes filled with intense fervour; the same thought floated in every insect’s mind.
“Secondary differentiation!”
Secondary differentiation requires the body to bear an overwhelming amount of psychic energy.
Once it exceeds the body’s threshold, it will generate a continuous flow of heat, which is why the cause of the condition cannot be identified.
This is not a disease at all!
Secondary differentiation!
This is something that almost only exists in theory, and yet it appears before York’s eyes. Why didn’t he think of it beforehand?
He couldn’t help but steal another glance at Tong Sui, lying in the medical pod.
With his exquisite and outstanding appearance, she looked obedient as she lay there, the aura of he. psychic energy unmatched—there’s no way she could merely be a D-Class male insect.
A-Class.
That already places him at the top tier of male insects, making up less than one percent of the population.
Just as York was lamenting deeply, that stabilizing value suddenly began to fluctuate violently, accompanied by a sharp beeping sound.
Every insect’s heart raced with anxiety.
They inexplicably feared that the previous reading was merely a fleeting moment, as secondary differentiation is exceedingly rare.
But what they never expected was that not only did the reading not drop back, but it instead shot straight up, updating at a speed that was hard to comprehend.
“What is going on?”
How could the A-Class rise so much? It surpassed all their common sense.
What was the next level again?
S…
S-Class??!
Most of the female insects felt weak, leaning against the wall, their minds completely foggy: they had actually witnessed the birth of an S-Class male insect?!
York was also in disbelief.
Not only had he never seen anything like it, even the old-timers at their medical school had never encountered such a phenomenon!
There were rumours of S-Class male insects appearing in the Empire hundreds of years ago.
However, before their astonishment could settle, the value continued to soar until the instrument emitted a strained crackling sound.
The display read the maximum value of 99,999,999, trying to break through, and then with a loud bang,
The display screen exploded, glass shards scattering everywhere.
York swallowed hard.
This might also be the first case in the history of a psychic energy reading being so high that it shattered the equipment.
The instrument was an external device and would not affect the normal operation of the medical pod.
York kicked all the female insects out, locked the ward door, and nervously dialled the Male Insect Protection Association’s communication line.
He recounted what had just happened.
The person in charge on the other end was completely perplexed. “Is today some kind of April Fool’s Day? You’re telling me you’ve found a secondary differentiated male insect that jumped from D-Class to S-Class, or maybe even higher?”
“Yes.”
“York, are you under so much psychological pressure that you’ve lost your mind?” the person in charge replied.
York’s face immediately turned cold. “Do you think I would joke about something like this? Anyway, if you don’t come, don’t blame me later.”
With that, he hung up the call.
A trace of gloom flickered in York’s eyes; if it weren’t for the crowd watching, he would have quietly moved the male insect away.
Unfortunately, these female insects were far too calculating.
They were already reluctant to leave this place an inch, and after this incident, they couldn’t even bear to shift their eyes away for half a second.
The enraged head of the Male Insect Protection Association cursed a few times after the abrupt disconnection.
No one had dared to talk to him like that before.
He stood up, and took his coat from the rack, eager to see what kind of monster was involved.
An S-Class male insect? Dreaming, perhaps.
If such a secondary differentiation truly existed, he would surely become a treasure for all female insects, no, the entire Empire.
After Lu Yuanzhao was attacked, he simply bandaged his wounds before being sent back to the Imperial Central Hospital by the starship dispatched from prison.
However, after this incident, he found himself without so many prominent figures around him, only lightly assigned an intern doctor.
When the bandages on Lu Yuanzhao’s face were slowly removed, the intern doctor gasped in shock.
Before revealing it, he hadn’t realized how serious the injury was.
The whip had coarse barbs that tore through skin and flesh, looking like a crumpled, decaying carnation, constantly oozing black blood.
This made Lu Yuanzhao appear particularly grotesque.
Their medical standards were high, but causing such severe damage in an area rich in facial nerves…
Even with the best surgeon, there would be indelible scars.
A male insect who had lost his psychic core is now also disfigured…
Even as the heir to the throne, his good days had come to an end.
Unaware of what he was about to face, Lu Yuanzhao kicked fiercely, shouting, “Get out! What is my status that I would allow the best doctor here to come to me?”
The intern doctor was knocked to the ground, colliding with a nearby medical cart, causing medications and tweezers to scatter everywhere.
That kick had been with full force; the intern’s abdomen churned violently.
He clenched his fingers tightly, whispering, “I’m afraid you won’t be using such a good doctor; they have all gone to serve the newly born S-Class male insect.”
“How dare you talk back!” Lu Yuanzhao began to retort but suddenly halted, his previously grotesque face twisting further, “What did you say? S-Class? What kind of dream are you having?”
The intern doctor slowly climbed to his feet, coldly regarding him.
“Dreaming? You must not have received the notice; the head of the Male Insect Protection Association is already here, and other senior council members are on their way; the entire top floor of the hospital is surrounded, and it’s you who should wake from your ‘Insect Emperor’ dream.”
