The Zerg Race: Marriage First, Love Later
The Zerg Race: Marriage First, Love Later Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Qin Fei, an ordinary young man, arrived at his girlfriend’s dormitory after work. He hoped to surprise her, but he only found a familiar luxury car parked downstairs of her girlfriend’s dormitory. He walked up the stairs nervously, and sure enough, he heard what he did not want to hear.

With a pale face, Qin Fei put down the 99 roses he had bought, and walked out in a daze. However, while crossing the street, he didn’t notice a large truck running a red light and was struck head-on… Qin Fei was thrown into the air, floating in the sky, feeling a sense of relief. With no family left in this world, and now no girlfriend either, what was the point of living?

On the other hand, there was also a sense of unwillingness. What had he done wrong? All he wanted was a good job, to buy a house, get married, and have a family. Unfortunately, she couldn’t wait for him in the end. He had sensed it long ago—the increasingly indifferent responses from his girlfriend, her growing impatience and anger…

His parents had died in a car accident when she was in high school, and the driver had fled the scene. With the little savings he had, he barely made it through university, and before he could earn money, his grandmother passed away after a lifetime of hard work. Since then, the closest person to him had been his girlfriend. They had been together since university, and now it had been five years—five years of love! In his unwillingness, amidst the crimson fog of blood, and the screams of passersby, he gradually lost consciousness…

It hurts! It hurt so much! What happened? Was he still alive? He should have felt no pain if he were dead. Although he had felt a sense of relief when he was hit, discovering that he was still alive, still holding on to life, brought an indescribable joy. It felt so good to be alive! Then, in another wave of intense pain, he lost consciousness again, unaware of the huge surprise the two zergs had received from just two brief sounds.

Qin Lang and Lin Zishu looked at each other, both seeing astonishment and disbelief on each other’s faces. After confirming the reality, the usually strong Lin Zishu couldn’t help but press his reddened eyes.

Qin Lang comforted his partner by patting his shoulder, saying, “It’s alright, as long as he wakes up, everything will be fine. Once he gets through this, everything will be good.”

After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Qin Fei woke up. As soon as his consciousness returned, a flood of memories rushed into his mind. His head throbbed painfully as he clutched his head, rolling on the bed. In his memories, he first saw himself as a small infant with a pair of very handsome… fathers? He had two older brothers and two younger brothers, and they all played happily together. Because he was male, his brothers spoiled him, letting him grow up carefree. However, the male members of the zerg race had to undergo four stages of transformation to become adults. He passed the first two transformations without issue, but during the third stage, someone had drugged his food, causing excruciating pain and interfering with his evolution, nearly killing him. Now that he had woken up, it meant the evolution had been successful. He had become a young man, but he was no longer the original Qin Fei. He was now a human from Earth, not the male zerg Qin Fei from the zerg race.

The Zerg Race is the overlord of this star domain. They are uniquely gifted, with males possessing extraordinary abilities. However, their numbers are few, and the current male-to-female ratio is 1:15. The females are capable of transformation and have incredibly strong physical constitutions. High-ranking females can even survive in outer space on their own. It is said that a thousand years ago, the male-to-female ratio was balanced, but after the Zerg Race went to war with a belligerent, invasive species called the Mo’er Tribe, things changed. The Mo’er Tribe launched massive amounts of genetic drugs toward the Zerg Race’s mother planet. Initially, the Zerg Race paid little attention, as there were no immediate harmful effects. However, over time, the physical condition of the males deteriorated, their abilities failed to improve, and the birth rate of male offspring plummeted to a terrifying ratio of 1:100. Enraged, the powerful females of the Zerg Race directly attacked the Mo’er Tribe’s stronghold, annihilating the majority of their forces. The remnants of the Mo’er Tribe were left to wander through the stars, and that planet became the Zerg Race’s first vassal star.

The Zerg Race’s strength is unmatched, and thanks to the efforts of many within their society, the birth ratio of male offspring gradually improved over the years. Now, thousands of years later, the ratio has finally risen to 1:15, but many females still struggle to find mates. Faced with this issue, the Zerg Race’s royal family reluctantly sought advice from their people and abolished the ancient one-male-one-female system, allowing for a one-male-multiple-female system. It is said that at the beginning, one male could have up to 100 females. Now, the ratio is not as extreme, and typically, one male can have up to 15 females.

This young man has just survived his third transformation and is no longer in danger. If a male fails to survive the first three transformations, the chances of death are high. The fourth transformation, which occurs when they turn 20, is the final one and the least dangerous. After the fourth transformation, the male’s basic physical attributes are solidified, and they officially reach adulthood. Following this, they are ranked according to their mental strength: levels 1 to 3 are low-level, levels 4 to 6 are mid-level, and levels 7 to 9 are high-level. Level 10 is legendary, a level only one male ever reached thousands of years ago. Currently, the highest level is level 9, and only a few males in the entire empire have achieved this rank.

The majority of males fall into the mid-level category, with both low-level and high-level males being relatively rare. Generally, only males with congenital defects in the Zerg Race are considered low-level. Once a male reaches high-level, which is level 7 or above, he is automatically granted a noble title, along with more privileges, including the ability to have up to thirty females. The higher the level of a male, the stronger his reproductive abilities, his physical strength, his powers, and his lifespan. When a male mates with a female, his abilities can help improve the female physical condition. Moreover, when they form a bond, a unique mental connection is created between them. This connection allows the male to monitor the female’s status at any time, offers the female healing, and can enhance the female’s mental powers. However, this bond cannot form between a male and just any female, only between a male and his chosen mate, his “female lord.” They are equal in this connection. Other females may not form the bond but can still receive treatment and enhancement from the male, though the effects are weaker.

The young man’s name is also Qin Fei. He is the only male heir of the noble Qin family in this generation. He has five female siblings, with his eldest and second brothers both born from the same female mate, while the other two are from different females.

The reason Qin Fei was poisoned this time was because of a paternal uncle. Both he and Qin Fei’s father are males of the Qin family’s generation, and in order to vie for the position of family head, his uncle secretly poisoned him. If Qin Fei died, his father would have no male heirs to succeed him, which would lead the elders to favor the uncle instead.

When Qin Fei opened his eyes, he saw a handsome male looking gently at him by his bedside. The memories flooding his mind immediately provided the answer: this was his female father.

His body reacted faster than his mind, and before he even knew what to do, the word slipped from his lips: “Father!”

Lin Zishu stroked his head, his voice tinged with a barely noticeable sob that one would miss unless listening closely: “It’s okay now, it’s okay, you’re awake. I’m so glad.”

Qin Fei sensed this and obediently let him touch his head. After a brief hesitation, he stretched out his arms and embraced Lin Zishu’s waist, pressing his whole body against him. He muttered, “Father, I’m fine now. Don’t worry. Where’s male father?”

“He and your eldest and second brothers are seeing your uncle off. They’re leaving today,” Lin Zishu said with a smile, though his sharp eyes glinted with cold light. “If the young one hadn’t survived, they wouldn’t be leaving in peace. Of course, even if they do leave now, they won’t have a good life ahead of them!”

Qin Fei understood immediately, nodding in acknowledgment. He then looked up at his female father with a happy smile: “It’s good they’re gone. From now on, it will just be our family here, right?”

“Yes, your male father is now the head of the Qin family. Your uncle and the others are leaving to go to the mother planet.”

At this moment, the robotic butler, Xiao Ai, entered with food. Lin Zishu took it from her and handed it to Qin Fei. “You must be hungry, right? Eat up.”

The food was light—just a small bowl of plain porridge. Qin Fei took it and quickly finished it, looking up at him with eager eyes.

Lin Zishu smiled. “Eat later, your stomach isn’t ready for too much right now.”

Hearing this, Qin Fei put the bowl down, yawned, and lay back down. He was still very tired, and his memories hadn’t fully settled yet. He wasn’t sure how long it would take to process them. As he thought this, he drifted back to sleep. Lin Zishu watched his young one fall asleep before quietly leaving the room.

When Qin Fei woke up again, he had fully recovered. His memories had been absorbed, and after a hearty meal, a group of doctors in white coats rushed into his bedroom. He was placed in a machine that resembled a coffin for testing. Qin Fei had no idea what they were doing, but not long after, one of the doctors came to him and said, “Congratulations, Lord Qin Fei! Your body has fully recovered, and your mental power level has been tested at level 7!” At this, the young female doctor looked at Qin Fei with unmistakable admiration in her eyes.

Then, his male father handed him a card and had him packed onto a spaceship, telling him it was time for him to report to school. Today was the last day, and if he missed it, he’d have to wait another year. It would be a shame to miss out. Fortunately, his second brother was also boarding the ship, so he’d have company. They were both students at the First Military Academy, though his second brother was already a third-year student, while he was just a new freshman going to register.

The Second Brother is a very charismatic female, standing at 2 meters tall, with handsome features, mysterious black hair, and sky-blue eyes. Qin Fei didn’t dare say much, fearing he might accidentally reveal the fact that he had already changed internally. As soon as he boarded the spaceship, he closed his eyes to rest. He didn’t dare underestimate any of the Zerg Race females, each one was a humanoid killing machine, especially since he was a combat student with immense strength. He had chosen the more common male-dominated field — the Medicinal Science Department. He had no particular aversion to it, as everything was unfamiliar to him. Although he had memories, they were more like watching a movie — he couldn’t relate to them. Once he got to school, there were many things he’d have to start from scratch. Deep down, he was willing to leave. In a familiar place, any anomaly about him would be hard to explain, but in an unfamiliar place, if there were any changes, they would make sense. With this thought, Qin Fei fell asleep. Meanwhile, his second brother, Qin Hong, who was pretending to read, noticed the change in his younger brother’s breathing. His serious face softened slightly, and he tapped his communicator to send a message: “Safe.”
