Every zerg can customise their faces for free when they first land in the virtual battle zone. Many Zergs prefer to keep their true appearance and identity private.
Of course, most zerg will customise themselves to look better. Who knows if they will catch one or two male zergs by accident?
But there are also some eccentric Zerg who simply chose the default image.
Lu Mo thought for a while, then hesitated, “Should I choose the default image?”
“Are you stupid?” The system disdainfully said, “You are a person who wants to earn scum points, so of course, you have to use your real identity to attract hatred!”
Lu Mo was tongue-tied: “Then you told me before that the biggest advantage of this virtual war zone is that you can be anonymous, so you don’t have to worry about my scum value being deducted…”
“I also told you to register as a fighter.” The system said quietly, “Did you listen?”
Lu Mo: “……”
He used his natural looks in a somewhat greasy manner, and for a bit of selfishness, he changed his hair to silver ……
The system said grimly, “Yo, why don’t you change your eyes to red?”
Lu Mo quickly changed the colour of his hair back and said in embarrassment, “Do your job.”
“Tsk. tsk.”
Ten minutes later, everything was set, with a crisp wind chime sound. Lu Mo’s own body appeared in front of his eyes.
The tall man in a black trench coat, hands folded in front of his chest, quietly sleeping.
Lu Mo seldom looked in the mirror and was surprised for a while. He nervously pointed to his own body: “Do I usually look so stuck-up and cold?”
“Of course,” the system said proudly, “you have to thank me for giving you the ‘Rabid dog here! Do not approach’ buff. Otherwise, your scum value will be difficult to save ah!”
So that’s how it is.
Lu Mo sincerely told the system, “It’s tough for you.”
He took a step forward, felt a powerful pull, and was sucked in.
After some spinning, he finally felt himself stepping on the ground. After shaking his head and waiting for vertigo to fade, he opened his eyes.
[Welcome Lu Mo #9527 to the virtual war zone! Next, please start the newbie tutorial—]
Lu Mo waved his hand: “Skip.”
[Next, the rules will be explained——]
Lu Mo: “Skip.”
[Next, the first simulation judgement will start——]
Lu Mo: “Skip.”
Skip, skip, skip.
[Next, start your first on-site referee——]
Lu Mo: “Jump…um.”
It has skipped over ahead.
“Huh? Host, you seem to have become very decisive recently.” The system said pleasantly, “Our goal is——”
Lu Mo clenched his fists excitedly: “Black Whistle! Unfair ruling! We are going to hit every available Zerg material to ruin it!!”
The system danced in ecstasy: “Brother, it’s too good!”
The golden light spots danced in front of Lu Mo, quickly weaving a vast square.
This arena simulates the most famous Essai Arena in real life, with a one-to-one ratio.
And Lu Mo was sitting on a high referee chair’s edge of the arena. Looking around from here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire arena.
[Contestants, please come on stage! ! ]
Lu Mo was a little nervous in his heart, but it didn’t show on his face. He leaned back slightly on the chair.
Bright spotlights roamed around, and Lu Mo’s face was half-lit and half-dark, like a cold sculpture.
A tall, grey-haired female zerg appeared in the centre of the field. He raised his head and glanced at Lu Mo from afar.

This is the first time for Hui Yu to come to this kind of novice field.

Hui Yu is an experienced hunter, he was born on a planet with an extremely harsh environment, and the creatures there are mighty, enough to fight against A-level female zergs…
All the females with good aptitude left that planet, and only Hui Yu remained, fighting those creatures day after day…
Until a month ago, a confident female who tried to sneak attack him and was killed by him said in despair before he died, “Since you are so strong, why don’t you go to the virtual war zone and stay here?”
Hui Yu didn’t know what the virtual battle zone was but understood what the other party meant.
To find a stronger opponent, he came here.
The opponent is an optical brain simulation and the referee…
The male zerg was sitting on a high referee’s seat, looking down at him.
It seemed to be a very high-level male. On Hui Yu’s planet, such a high-level male had never been seen before. He feared that this male landed in the war zone from the Emperor Star.
If it was a female zerg, he is afraid that his mind would be flustered at this time, and he can’t help showing his strong body in front of the female zerg.
But Hui Yu just clenched the spear in his hand.
He only has the strongest in his heart!
[The competition is about to begin.]
[Five, four, three, two, one]
With a deafening hissing sound, a hideous beast that was tens of metres tall appeared in the centre of the field.
Hui Yu’s eyes widened.
This …… turned out to be the same kind of monster that appeared on his planet. Such an enormous size, even after all his years of hunting, he had only seen it six times!
But this was just the novice area.
An unspeakable passion burst from Hui Yu’s chest, and he finally found the right place!
The giant beast craned its neck and gave a long whistle, its thick limbs slapping the ground, causing earthquakes.
Badum.
Badum.
Badum.
Whether this is the ground causing the sound or it is the sound of his own heartbeat, Hui Yu can no longer tell. He only felt the blood in his whole body throbbing, and he almost wanted to turn into a prototype and fight this giant beast!
“Let me see what you can do.”
The male zerg’s voice was like icicles, and Hui Yu finally regained consciousness.
He lowered his body slightly, and the next moment he held a spear in his hand, stepped on the ground with his legs, and rushed towards the giant beast!
If someone could have seen this matchup, they would have been amazed.
The virtual arena simulates the sparring roles based on the opponent’s rank.
This kind of giant beast simply could not appear in the B-ranked female zergs’ sparring area, and even many newly promoted A-ranked females found it tricky.
This means that the virtual arena has detected that Hui Yu’s level far exceeds that of an average A-rank female zerg.
Yet the one female, one male, and one system present were utterly unaware of this.
The muscles on Hui Yu’s body bulged deeply with every movement — his muscles were tight and firm. With his thin face and bland features, he usually looked a little light and weak, like a mediocre sub-female.
Once he fought, his demeanour became distinctly stern. The beast’s claws and sharp teeth, each time narrowly, brushed past his side but never managed to hurt him. Instead, its life was gradually exhausted by Hui Yu’s physical strength.
When the giant beast was dying, it struggled with its last bit of strength, and pressed desperately towards Hui Yu.
Hui Yu took a deep breath, leapt high, and pierced the spear into the giant beast’s eyes, straight into the giant beast’s brain!
The giant beast shook, and its huge body fell to the ground with a crash.
Hui Yu wiped off his sweat and stood silently waiting for the referee’s verdict.
At this moment, he looked like an unflattering sub-female again.
From the beginning, the male sitting in the referee’s seat held his cheek with one hand as if watching a slow opera. At this time, he finally put down his hand.
“Have you tried your best?”
Hui Yu nodded.
“Is this all your strength?”
Hui Yu raised his head, but the male was against the light, so he couldn’t see the male’s expression clearly.
After a few seconds, he replied: “I have… tried my best.”
The male zerg let out a gentle laugh. However, his voice was cold, like a mockery.
He opened his hands and said, “Unfortunately, I can’t count you as the winner of this match.”
Hui Yu said in surprise: “Why?!”
“Um…”
The male crossed his legs, crossed his fingers on his legs, and said in a deep voice, “It’s just a beast. You’ve worked so hard. There are many masters out there. You should practise here for a few more years.”
Hui Yu subconsciously felt something was wrong, but the male zerg had no problem with it.
He gritted his teeth and froze in place.
“It seems that you don’t agree with my verdict.” The male zerg said, “In that case, I’ll let you see with your own eyes how weak you really are.”
He jumped off the high referee chair and landed beside Hui Yu.
The black trench coat curved gracefully in the air, and Hui Yu finally got a clear look at the appearance of this male zerg.
The first feeling is cold. Every corner of the male’s facial features is prominent in its elegance. When he glances at you with those cold emerald eyes, you can’t help but look away.
There was a faint smell of damp rain in the air.
The corpse of the giant beast killed by the Hui Yu gradually faded, after all, it is just data simulated by the virtual arena.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light shone, and another hideous beast appeared in the centre of the field.
“You must not blink.”
As the male zerg said this, he reached into the void, and a long, thin, straight, pitch-black blade appeared in his hand.
The male zerg’s white and slender fingers took advantage of the intricate patterns on the black blade, creating an almost like a magnificent painting with it.
The giant beast roared, and Hui Yu’s eyes widened.
Everything in front of him seemed like the film had been slowed down several times. He saw the male zerg’s wrist turn, the black blade emitting light as it slashes towards his opponent.
The blade’s light went all the way from the beast’s hardest horn, cutting through its huge body — It was like a pair of scissors that cleanly cut through a piece of paper.
When the male zerg landed the final blow, the beast’s cloudy eyes completely lost their light, and with the line cut by the blade, the beast slowly split into two halves …
Hui Yu’s mouth fell open, and he couldn’t even speak.
He can only mumble, “You…”
The male zerg did not speak, maintaining the posture of raising the knife.
Hui Yu took a deep breath, his whole body trembling with shock: “I, I have understood everything you said. I am really too weak!”
He bowed deeply towards the male worm: “Until I reach your level, I will never leave the novice field!”
Male zerg (Lu Mo): “…”
“You may not want to talk to me at all, but that’s okay.” Hui Yu clenched his fists, “I will always remember your advice. I was too arrogant before.”
“Your time is precious. I’m afraid you don’t want to say a word to a small person like me. I’ll leave now.”
………………………
The entire square turned into golden light when Hui Yu left the venue and slowly disappeared.
Lu Mo turned his head and looked at the knife in his hand. His movements were like a robot that had been rusted for many years.
After a while, he said: “System, I believe what you said now.”
System: “……”
Lu Mo was distressed: “This is really the absolute best knife ah.”
According to the script, he obviously should be trampled on to the death qaq.
The system voice was choked: “Next time, please do not add so much drama.”
Why, until now, did they not realise that they are already A-class male zerg?
………………………………….
Hui Yu stayed at the waiting interface and closed his eyes in excitement, recalling everything that had happened just now.
The figure of the male zerg hovered in his mind. He had never seen such a clean cut in his life.
Before he finished his recollection, a burst of beeps woke him up again.
He opened his eyes, only to see a small dialogue box in front of him.
[L invites you to participate in the battle. ]
Hui Yu hesitated.
According to the male zerg, he should stay in the novice field and hone his skills.
But he has never refused someone’s request for a duel… It is not his style to face a challenge without daring to respond.
Seeing that the time countdown was about to end, Hui Yu pressed OK.
“brush–”
The golden light spots reconstructed a brand new scene. This time, it was in a vast red valley.
Standing in front of Hui Yu was a plainly dressed Zerg.
This is the default model that comes with the virtual arena. The opponent’s face is wearing an iron mask, and no features can be seen.
This strange zerg drew a long knife from its waist, aiming the blade at Hui Yu.
Hui Yu holds a spear in his hand, and his eyes are piercing.
Let him see how far he is from other Zergs!
…………………………
As the wind from high above swept red dust across the valley, Hui Yu lowered his head in disbelief.
The sharp tip of the blade pierced his chest, and he couldn’t even put up a single resistance.
Here, the pain is only a tenth of the real one, but when he was pierced, he forgot in a trance that this was only a virtual space.
The premonition of death was so real.
“You ……”
………………………….
The words fell from his bloodied mouth, and his powerless body fell backwards, turning into a spot of light and disappearing like the dead beast.
The female flicked the tip of the knife, and dark red blood splashed a trace on the ground.
Only then did Ling feel better.
He tilted his head and thought, in this way, no zergs would dare to covet Lu Mo again.
Even if there is, it’s fine to kill them all over and over again until they dare not go online anymore.
Translator’s Notes:
Welp, Ling is on a spree now. Also, told y’all Lu Mo can handle his own…for a bit XD. We are getting somewhere at least. See you all next week!
