StarCraft: Everyone wants the Queen

Chapter 101 The Son of an Old Friend

In the end, he still didn't expose Klein's little scheme.

Judging from their speed of travel, they are about to reach the asteroid belt at the edge of the fourth star system.

Near meteorite belts, one must not only be constantly aware of meteorites that may drift by at any time, but also pay attention to magnetic field effects and guard against attacks by wolves.

So after seeing that Shen Qingqing and the others were alright, Andor prepared to take his leave. "Queen Insect, please stay here and rest. Andor will not disturb you any longer."

After Andorra left, Klein felt he should also play a role and not stay behind to seek the protection of others.

"Your name is Andorra?"

Inside the spacecraft, Andorra, who was busy reviewing and planning the starship's journey, heard a voice coming from behind him.

Without even looking up, he continued to observe the interstellar coordinates on the three-dimensional image.

"Not bad, it seems the former commander has recovered well."

Klein ignored the mockery in his tone and instead smoothed down a couple of unruly strands of hair on his chest.

"The Queen Insect has already gone to sleep. Would you be willing to tell me your story?"

"Hmph, is that really necessary?" Andor tossed him a small object. "You can look it up yourself."

Klein caught the thrown computer steadily, opened it, and searched for Andorra's name. The data appeared before his eyes.

And at the very beginning, highlighted in bold, is the first Zergling to be successfully modified!

"This quantum computer has been authorized by the Elder Council, and the Zerg's top secrets can be obtained through it."

Andor felt there was no need to waste any more words on him.

As the former commander and Cecilia's most valued advisor, it's impossible that she wouldn't know something like this.

After a cursory glance at the information, Klein had already gained a general understanding of the orphan of Bin Laden standing before him.

Then he asked, "I remember Gatana doesn't like raising other people's children."

Andorra replied coldly, "I wasn't raised by him."

Looking into Klein's eyes, Andor said, "The Fourth Elder is my adoptive father. If the former commander wants to know anything, just ask. I am not in the same camp as Gatana."

Klein's blue eyes reflected the boy's image, and he felt a deep sense of emotion.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to see the son of an old friend."

Andorra remained silent.

He knew, of course, that this commander didn't simply want to see him. After the rebellion, countless insects had been eyeing his position as the descendant of the former leader.

Logically speaking, given his family's status and his identity as Bin Laden's orphan, it's understandable that he would become the next leader of Wang Xing.

At the time, he was only a teenager and not yet an adult in the Zerg race. So after sending Zerg to assassinate his father, Gatana naturally transferred power to himself.

Fortunately, the Fourth Elder intervened at the last moment, and because he was forced to sign a reform agreement that would disqualify him from inheritance, he was spared.

"Stop with the nonsense, Commander," Andor said, his back to him. "My mission is to escort the Queen of Insects safely to the front lines. Nothing else is my job."

"I urge the Commander to refrain from appearing for the time being, so as to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Klein did not give a direct response, but instead looked up and his gaze fell on a certain insect that was secretly hiding in the corner.

Little Sa curled up, trying to hide himself behind the simulation platform, but the low platform couldn't conceal his tall figure.

Half of his body was visible, only his head was hidden.

"He's not Tharnster, is he?"

"Yes, his name is Xiao Sa, a name given by the Insect Queen."

When asked about its origins, Andorra was at a loss for words and could only brush it off by saying, "It probably came from a research institute."

But Klein knew who had created the little Sa in front of him.

Besides his sister, who else could possess such extraordinary abilities?

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

Perhaps because he was bin Laden's son, Klein always seemed to see a younger version of bin Laden through him.

"Andorra, have you ever thought about something?"

Klein spoke, and a magnified star appeared on the 3D image. "Have you ever thought about changing the very fabric of King Star?"

“Hmph, that’s betraying the Zerg,” Andor said resolutely. “If this were on King Star, you would probably be imprisoned for trying to usurp the throne.”

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true."

Klein walked over to him and showed him the information about the four elders from the quantum computer.

The cold voice seemed to be seductive, "Didn't you already tell the Fourth Elder about me? Perhaps he's thinking about it too."

"what ever."

Andor showed no mercy in shattering his fantasy, “Don’t say I’m criticizing you for being delusional. As the former commander of the Queen, you were utterly incompetent, lacking both foresight and strategic thinking.”

"You should stay in the command center and enjoy yourself with the Queen. The Zerg don't need anything useless for the time being."

Klein remained silent, only thinking that Andorra was becoming more and more like Bin Laden.

“By the way, I also need all the data from this starship,” Klein stated his needs. “Perhaps you would need an engineer.”

Only then did Andor glance at him, his expression seemingly unable to believe that he was actually an engineer.

"With your frail physique, can you even lift a wrench?"

It wasn't that he was targeting him intentionally, but rather that Klein's thin frame and the loosely draped robe made it hard to believe he possessed such abilities.

Despite being suspected, Klein remained unperturbed, still sporting his usual faint smile, as if unconcerned. "Sometimes size isn't the best solution to a problem; brains are."

"Then please let me see what the optimal solution is, Commander."

Andor led him to the archives, where they chatted casually.

My perception of him gradually changed during our conversations.

Andor believed that after his insect body was modified, no insect could have a larger brain capacity than him, and no insect could match his knowledge storage.

But Klein was an exception.

In less than an hour, he convinced him with his words, making him admit, in terms of both Zerg archetypes and astronomy and geography, that the Zerg creature before him was a more manipulative fellow than any he had ever seen, even more so than Gatana.

"alright, you win."

Andorra shrugged, indicating that he could not refute him on this topic.

Klein simply took a sip of tea, placed the porcelain cup on the square table, and said, "It's just based on experience."

Then he added, "You and your father are very alike, both in personality and appearance."
