Having said that, Zhou Qi looked at the Lizardmen and Underground Insect People, his eyes filled with authority and expectation.
“You two, reflect carefully, and don’t let this happen again.” The two quickly nodded and, under everyone’s gaze, left dejectedly.
Zhou Qi then called Moga Luo over, stared at the two gradually walking away in the distance, and said to Moga Luo with a slight chill in his eyes, “If those two quarrel again, directly parasitize them with Mind Control Demon Bug. From now on, this living area will be managed by you. I don’t want to see anything that is detrimental to unity!”
Moga Luo lowered his head and repeatedly assented.
After properly handling the dispute in the living area, Zhou Qi, filled with aspirations for future planning, walked to the enormous building constructed for the Army Ant Queen.
This building stood towering, like a turtle resting in water, with a huge turtle shell exposed on the surface. Its magnificent appearance looked particularly mysterious under the faint light.
Stepping inside the building, the winding staircase descending downwards was crafted from special Ore that emitted a soft glow. With every step, one could feel a mysterious power flowing beneath their feet.
Following the staircase down, after several hundred meters, was the enormous plaza on the lowest level.
The plaza’s ground was flat and smooth, and the mysterious runes and patterns carved on the surrounding walls emitted a deep, faint glow, as if narrating ancient stories of the Geocentric World.
Zhou Qi stood at the edge of the plaza, overlooking this vast space, imagining the scene after the Army Ant Queen moved in, and he was very satisfied.
The Army Ant Queen was the core of the entire Bug Clan Family. To provide a safer and more stable environment for the Army Ant Queen, he decided to transfer her from the White Snake Mountain Underground Base to here.
Immediately, Zhou Qi took out an evolution origin point from his space. Relying on the close connection between the Evolution Space and himself, he activated the teleportation function. A dazzling light flashed, and Zhou Qi instantly appeared in the White Snake Mountain Underground Base.
At this time, in the White Snake Mountain Underground Base, the Twelfth-Order Army Ant Queen was quietly coiled in the huge cave, her massive body radiating a powerful biological Qi field.
The surrounding Bug Clan Family members were, as usual, busily and orderly moving through it.
Zhou Qi came before the Army Ant Queen, gently stroked her antenna, and conveyed his intentions to her through a mental connection. The Army Ant Queen understood Zhou Qi’s words, and her huge body trembled slightly, expressing her obedience to Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi carefully pulled the Army Ant Queen and himself into the Evolution Space’s teleportation channel.
The 200-meter radius teleportation space was just about the same size as the Twelfth-Order Army Ant Queen.
At the moment of teleportation, Zhou Qi only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and his body seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, rapidly traversing through space and time.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared in the underground plaza specially opened for the Army Ant Queen within the Geocentric Base.
Looking at the spacious area and suitable environment of the plaza, Zhou Qi finally felt relieved. The height and area here would be enough for the Army Ant Queen to live even if she continued to strengthen by several more Orders.
He had intended to immediately begin strengthening the Army Ant Queen, but after upgrading the Evolution Space twice, his Evolution Points were nearly depleted, far from enough for the cost of strengthening the Army Ant Queen again. In helplessness, Zhou Qi could only start waiting for the Evolution Points to Breakthrough a trillion again.
Zhou Qi thought that even at the current rate of acquiring Evolution Points, it would take at least ten days to reach a trillion Evolution Points again.
These ten days might not seem long in the real world, but in the Geocentric World, a place full of variables, unexpected things could happen at any moment.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi did not want to stay longer in the Geocentric Base and planned to return to the surface. However, before leaving, he decided to first go to his residence in the logistics area to find You Long.
Zhou Qi walked slowly along the passage of the logistics area. The walls on both sides of the passage were embedded with glowing crystals, illuminating the path somewhat dimly.
Along the way, he encountered many busy Bug Clan Family members and Lizardmen, who were either transporting supplies or performing base repair work. Upon seeing Zhou Qi, they all stopped what they were doing and respectfully saluted.
Zhou Qi nodded slightly in acknowledgment, his steps not faltering.
Soon, Zhou Qi arrived in front of You Long’s house, a building constructed from special wood and stone, which stood out among the surrounding structures.
Zhou Qi gently pushed open the door. A faint fragrance filled the room. You Long was sitting on a stone stool inside the room, seemingly waiting for him.
Seeing Zhou Qi enter, You Long immediately stood up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, “Master, you’ve come.” Her voice was low and gentle, carrying a unique charm.
Zhou Qi looked at You Long, and the vexation in his heart instantly dissipated a lot.
He walked forward and embraced You Long. You Long was slightly startled, then obediently nestled into his arms.
They embraced each other, as if time had stopped. In the time that followed, they indulged in intimacy, and Zhou Qi completely relaxed himself in this gentle embrace, casting all his stress and fatigue aside.
It took a full day for Zhou Qi to emerge from You Long’s house.
He stretched, and the sunlight fell on him, yet a hint of guilt welled up in his heart.
“Wine and women truly lead to ruin. Just this one indulgence wasted a whole day.” He sighed to himself, resolving in his heart that he must abstain from alcohol in the future and not indulge like this again.
He looked back at You Long’s house, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes, then turned and walked towards the Evolution Space’s teleportation point.
Zhou Qi successfully teleported to the White Snake Mountain Insect Farm through the Evolution Space.
As he walked out of the office, he happened to run into his younger sister, Zhou Xia, whom he had arranged to intern at the Insect Farm.
Zhou Xia had her hair tied in a high ponytail, her face beaming with youthful smiles. Upon seeing Zhou Qi, her eyes instantly lit up, “Brother, you’re finally back! Mom and Dad miss you so much. They keep mentioning for you to find time to come home and visit.”
Zhou Qi looked at his sister, his heart full of warmth. He reached out and ruffled Zhou Xia’s hair, “Okay, brother knows. I’ll go back when I have time.”
Just as he was speaking, his phone rang with a familiar tune, “Drop, ah drop, drop the handkerchief.”
Zhou Qi took out his phone and saw that the caller ID was Li Ruhai. He said to Zhou Xia, “You go ahead and get busy. Brother needs to take a call.” Zhou Xia obediently nodded and skipped away.
Zhou Qi walked to the side and answered the phone. Li Ruhai’s hearty voice came through the receiver: “Xiao Zhou, what have you been busy with lately? I have a big deal here that you’ll definitely be interested in!”
Zhou Qi replied with a smile: “Brother Li, what else could I be busy with? Just overseeing the Insect Farm. What’s this big deal you’re talking about?”
