Just a short message made the protagonist's mind feel like a thousand horses raging.

First of all, this method of information exchange breaks the previous impression that the protagonist must have antennae intersecting to communicate. It seems that this cobblestone platform is similar to a transmission line, and the protagonist can be sure that other winged ants have also received the same message.

Secondly, through the message, the protagonist must re-evaluate the wisdom of this nest of ants. Previously, the protagonist believed that he was reborn as a nest of ordinary ants. The worker ants and soldier ants were like automatically running programs and could not respond to many messages sent by him. This was very consistent with the knowledge of ants in his previous life - an ant. It is just a simple ganglion with long legs and does not have the ability to think. The impression of winged ants almost makes the protagonist feel that they have become spirits. The winged ants have a language that can communicate with each other and can even answer some of the protagonist's questions. The protagonist previously thought that this was just the ants in his mind. communication methods are automatically translated. But the concepts of "learning" and "taking classes" in the current message are abilities that can only be possessed by creatures that have evolved wisdom and civilization.

Although many thoughts passed by, time only passed in a moment. The second sentence of "Old Wang" has just ended: "There are four kinds of ants in the world, kings, queens, soldiers, and workers. We are the most wise and noble king ants, and you must remember this identity!"

From this sentence, the protagonist finally confirms that he is now a male ant. The soldiers and workers are obviously soldier ants and worker ants, and then there should be the queen ant. Then the remaining king can only be the male ant.

The knowledge from the past life tells the protagonist that the male ant should be a low-status parasite in the ant nest, living by begging for food from the worker ants. Its only use is to mate once as an adult and then die quickly. The core of the ant nest is the reproductive queen, and the main force is various soldier ants and worker ants. Some ant species do not even have soldier ants, only worker ants.

The world is obviously different now. Male ants have become the king of the ant nest, and they are the highest-status and most intelligent species among ants.

The protagonist now has no time to think about the reasons for the different status of ants, because Lao Wang's third sentence came through the tentacles again.

"The king ant is the leader of the ant colony and needs to lead his subordinates to fight for food for his country and destroy the enemy country."

This sentence seems very general. It is easy to understand the fight for food and the elimination of enemy countries. Ants often break out in fights and wars to snatch food or food collection sites. They are extremely aggressive creatures. If the ants have atomic bombs, they may The earth will be blown up in less than a day.

The protagonist's sentence of leading his subordinates is not easy to understand. Judging from the protagonist's experience as a naughty child who lured ants to fight in his previous life, as long as the ants find the enemy, they will use the same method as Meng Xin's strategy game, and kill all the soldiers in one frame. In the past, there were no commanders or tactics at all.

But considering that ants are intelligent now, maybe it’s not surprising that they have developed tactics and command.

This lesson was surprisingly short. After finishing the first three sentences, Lao Wang ended with the last sentence: "You must practice the skill of commanding your subordinates diligently. Each king will have an attendant. Work hard to master it." Methods of commanding attendants. End of this lesson."

After Lao Wang finished speaking, Shi Shiran left the cave he came from. The soldier ants in the unit next to him immediately made a different friction sound, and then turned and left.

The protagonist was suddenly confused: "Practice? How to practice? I don't even know what it means to lead or lead subordinates. How to operate it! Lao Wang, you are too irresponsible as a teacher. How can there be a teacher who doesn't teach anything? , telling students that get out of class will be over after just one question..."

The protagonist just complained. After seeing that the other male ants around him showed no other expression at all, he had no choice but to give up. He was going to see what others would do.

At this time, a large group of soldier ants suddenly poured in from the entrance where the protagonist had just entered. These soldier ants crowded over in a chaotic manner, and one of them stopped right in front of each male ant. It seems that this is the attendant that Lao Wang mentioned.

The protagonist saw that other winged ants were using their tentacles to communicate with the attendants, so he followed suit and put his tentacles on the tentacles of the attendant soldier ants. What the attendant soldier ants send back through their antennae is not a message, but an emotion that expresses absolute obedience. The protagonist is very satisfied - for the first time in his two lives, he has a younger brother who obeys him wholeheartedly.

The protagonist didn't know what to do next. He saw other winged ants turn to look at him after they finished communicating with the attendants. The protagonist felt a chill, it was uncomfortable to be stared at by so many eyes: "Just tell me what you want to do!"

The protagonist failed to understand the meaning of the other male ants, and the other male ants did not explain to him. At this time, the grumpy Gun had already begun to rub the vocal organ on his waist anxiously.

The protagonist hurriedly used his tentacles to ask Rambo Fei beside him: "Why are you looking at me?". "Leave and go back!" Rambo Wan simply replied.

The protagonist then remembered that he was the leader of the team, and it seemed that no one else could leave unless he left. So the protagonist hurriedly wanted to get out of the cave, but felt that he had forgotten something. When he looked back, he saw that his attendant soldier ants were still standing stupidly.

The protagonist thought about how the worker ants made him follow him when he first emerged from the pupa, so he went back and used his tentacles to send a message to the attendant soldier ants: "Follow me."

The attendant soldier ant immediately returned to the mood of accepting the order, and then followed the protagonist out of the cave.

The protagonist let out a sigh of relief. It seems that this is what he meant by commanding his subordinates. The protagonist roughly understood how to order his servants.

The other winged ants also followed the protagonist out of the cave with their attendants. The first soldier ant that led the way was still waiting outside. The lead soldier ant sent a message to the protagonist to follow up, and led the group of male ants back to the cave with the large silk bed.

The protagonist looked at the messy appearance of dozens of male ants and worker ants in the cave and shook his head. The density of the ant colony almost made people suffer from trypophobia. The protagonist quickly retreated, and the attendant soldier ants followed closely.

The protagonist took the little follower back to the place where he rested last night. The small silk bed he made was still there. It seemed that no other ants had visited.

Seeing that there was no one else to disturb him, the protagonist decided to continue trying to command the attendants, so he used his tentacles to give an order: "I'm hungry, bring me some food, elemental, no insect meat."

However, the attendant ant remained motionless and responded with a dazed emotion...
