Not surprising for this male zerg to turn the tables and reverse the situation in an instant.
Even an ordinary male zerg, if it senses that something is amiss, cannot strike the crucial point like Lu Mo did. But…
This time, Su Lin has already set aside his underestimation of Lu Mo. He came prepared.
Lu Mo’s behavior was within his expectations.
Su Lin coldly chuckled, “Hmph, fortunately, I was prepared.”
Jin Qi looked at him, feeling somewhat anxious. “Su Lin, if I may speak frankly, I really can’t figure out Lu Mo’s intentions.” No matter how he looked at it, he could only perceive Lu Mo as extremely shameless.
Su Lin glanced at Jin Qi, like a teacher looking at a foolish student. That look made Jin Qi regret a bit, perhaps he shouldn’t have asked.
“Well, since we are allies, I believe I have an obligation to explain it to you.” Su Lin deliberately used the term “allies,” a term that deepened their connection.
Jin Qi was extremely grateful. “Thank you very much.”
“Do you remember our objective?” Su Lin said, “The ultimate purpose of this auction is to let Lu Mo acquire the female zerg that has fallen into the black market.”
“Do you think… if that female zerg really appears in front of him, can he truly bear to ignore it? Don’t forget, he has become the Master for the first female zerg. Even if he pretends otherwise, he still can’t bear it.”
“I understand now,” Jin Qi suddenly realized, “It’s truly a brilliant countermeasure.”
In a brief moment, Lu Mo understood. They had arranged for the sub-female zerg, but he quickly utilized this point. The meaning behind his words was…If you want to place a female zerg by my side, then by all means, come. But you probably can’t bear the price.
Jin Qi sighed, “I really couldn’t have imagined…”
Originally, it was to have an extra safeguard by arranging for a sub-female zerg, but who could have known it would be cleverly exploited like this!
“You don’t need to underestimate yourself,” Su Lin said lightly, “It’s just that person was prepared early on. In the end, Lu Mo will still be one move short.”
Seeing the sub-female zerg barely able to stand steadily, Su Lin stepped forward and supported him.
“Since Mr. Lu has made such a request, you wouldn’t want to go against his wishes, right?”
Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Today, you must accept this sub-female zerg.
With Su Lin’s words, the sub-female zerg finally gained determination. He looked at Lu Mo coyly and stuttered, “I… I’m willing. My body and soul already belong to you,
Lord Lu Mo.”
The gentle sub-female zerg lowered its long eyelashes, fluttering like butterfly wings.
Even though his hair was disheveled and his clothes soaked in alcohol, he appeared so disheveled that all the zergs present couldn’t help but find him incredibly beautiful…
Except for Lu Mo.
He decisively withdrew his hand, feeling that this sub-female zerg was simply too naive.

The sub-female zerg widened its eyes and became somewhat at a loss.
It didn’t know where it went wrong. Even if the zerg Emperor were here, it would still believe in the sincerity of its emotions… even the most cold-hearted male zerg would be moved by it. What was the matter with Lu Mo?
Lu Mo made a gesture for silence, and the sub-female zerg involuntarily obeyed, closing its mouth.
“Don’t talk about emotions, you won’t understand,” Lu Mo said expressionlessly. “Talking about emotions hurts money.”
“Surprising, isn’t it?! The beauty scheme has no effect on me, Lu Mo! You thought you could get away with it, huh?!”
The sub-female zerg widened its eyes in shock. “I…”
Lu Mo’s voice was louder than his: “We are all respectable members of the zerg race. Backtracking is something you shouldn’t do, right? Only the most despicable zergs would stoop so low! Do you really have the face to say that?!”
The sub-female’s chest began to heave violently. Although he obeyed Su Lin’s orders, he had only encountered extremely gentlemanly male zergs – or at least they maintained a gentlemanly facade. It was the first time he had heard such blatant contempt and provocation, and he couldn’t help but say, “I won’t go back on my word!”
“Ah, that’s great,” Lu Mo said and extended his hand towards Lingyi. “Lingyi, do you have paper? I want to draft a contract with this sub-female.”
The sub-female glared at him angrily.
He didn’t overlook the fleeting smile at the corner of Lingyi’s mouth: you've been smiling all along, you haven't stopped!
“Lu…” Lingyi turned his head, concealing the smile, “Master Lu, this behavior truly tarnishes the reputation of the nobility. I believe this sub-female will honor the agreement.”
Lu Mo furrowed his brows and reluctantly said after a while, “Fine, since my wife has such faith in you, I will reluctantly trust you as well.”
“Rip.” The sub-female finally tore his sleeve. Maintaining a twitching smile, he gritted his teeth and said, “Oh, I’m so honored to be trusted by Lord Lu Mo, whom I love with all my heart.”
Lu Mo revealed a dignified smile. “You should indeed feel honored.”
When he said those words, the faces of all the spectators almost cracked.
They grew up in high society, and Lu Mo’s shameless behavior was truly unprecedented.
When a sub-female rushes toward you, even out of basic courtesy, you should catch him to prevent him from losing face in public.
But Lu Mo let the sub-female fall to the ground without lifting a finger, and he even took a step back. Was that action sincere?
Not only that, he shamelessly accepted the sub-female’s apology!
These actions were enough to leave a terrible impression of Lu Mo in the hearts of all the zergs. He appeared like the lowest of the low, a worthless male zerg—so lowly, yet so confident.
But nobody could have expected that Lu Mo would surpass the bottom line of all zergs.
As is well known, although male zergs hold a noble status and can inherit all the property of their female monarch and slaves after marriage, the prerequisite is that you have to be married!
Lu Mo audaciously claimed the property of an unmarried sub-female?
Only the most despicable male zergs would engage in such behavior.
At that moment, the gaze of all zerg species towards Lu Mo seemed to be looking at a pile of filth.
[Ding, despised by all witnesses in their hearts, scum value +500!]
[Ding, cursed by a sub-female in their heart for ten minutes, scum value +500!]
[Ding, your behavior has initially reached the level of a street rat, additional reward of +300 scum value!]
…
Lu Mo closed his eyes and gradually lost himself in the sound of the system’s notifications…
Indeed, as the ancient saying goes, when three people walk together, there must be one I can learn from!
On the way here, he thought of Song Jian Shu.
Even Song Jian Shu, the righteous messenger admired by all female zergs, had a significant portion of his protagonist’s halo shattered when it was exposed in a video that he used Ling’s money but didn’t marry Ling…
What if he were the one doing it?
It would have an immediate and outstanding effect.
With money in his left hand and scum value in his right hand, the intelligent Lu Mo, the great Lu Mo—
He wants it all.
In comparison to Lu Mo, other zerg species feel that they are truly exemplary zergs.
A noble spirit envelops all zerg species at this moment. Even the naturally cold-hearted zerg species will have moments like this: when they see injustice happening before their eyes, every zerg that considers itself normal cannot sit idly by.
And this is precisely the purpose of the scum value system.
The system excitedly exclaimed, [Do you see it?! Lu Mo, all your actions have meaning, you have elevated the spirits of these zerg species!]
Lu Mo’s eyes are bewildered, [Did I really do that?]
It’s so touching.
“Lu Mo, sir,” a golden-haired male zerg stood up, “Don’t you think you have disgraced the identity of an A-level male zerg?”
Lu Mo remains composed, “That doesn’t seem to concern you.”
“How does it not concern me?” the golden-haired male zerg chuckled, “If this matter gets out, what will the zerg species think of us A-level male zergs? A bunch of shameless creatures?”
Lu Mo looked at him with disdain, “You speak so vulgarly.”
The golden-haired male zerg’s face contorted, “Is that the point?!”
“It’s really troublesome,” Lu Mo sighed. With his towering stature, when he raised his chin and looked down on others, even the most easy-going zerg species would feel angry at his arrogance.
He surveyed the surroundings and whispered, “Since you all are so angry, why not just bid on everything? That way, this young unmarried female won’t go bankrupt, right?”
“But… I won’t go easy on you either. In auctions, it’s always the highest bidder who wins,” Lu Mo revealed an evil smile. “I wonder if you can afford it?”
“Is there a need for you to say that?” the golden-haired male zerg said confidently. “As a newcomer from the countryside like you, you probably don’t know just how wealthy we true aristocrats from the Imperial Star are.”
“Today, I will teach you the true elegance of nobility.”
Su Lin was shocked and terrified!
In just a few minutes, the situation took a strange turn and developed in an unexpected direction.
This male zerg…
Jin Qi was dumbfounded, “Su Lin, I… I don’t understand again…”
“It’s not your fault. His tactics are just too profound,” Su Lin clenched his fist. “Don’t you see? From the moment he spoke, he completely controlled the rhythm of the entire situation.”
“First, he skillfully defused the female’s confession and steered the conversation towards auction costs, simultaneously provoking everyone’s anger… Guess what, will those angry male zergs let him bid on anything tonight?”
Jin Qi suddenly realized and thought of more.
He eagerly said, “And he even found a generous and refined male zerg for that female! Whoever wins the bid won’t disappoint!”
Su Lin nodded heavily and looked at Lu Mo.
He noticed Lu Mo turning around and casting a small glare at Ling, whispering something.
As an assassin and butler, Su Lin naturally understood lip reading. Lu Mo said…
“My dear female, your male master is such a despicable male zerg.”
Ling said, “—Completely different from Song Jianshu, right?”
Lu Mo coughed, “Ah, yes, that’s right!”
Is there really an zerg in the world who can control emotions so precisely?
Lu Mo was truly terrifying.
“I thought I had prepared too much before,” Su Lin said slowly, “But now, I’m glad I prepared an extra move.”
“I will make sure Lu Mo accepts that female.”
Translator’s Message:
A huge shoutout to a ‘Ko-Fi supporter’ for giving me coffee. Additional chapter in thanks for that.
Why does Su Lin want him to except that female so much? 🤔
Su Lin works for noble A-level male, who wants get Ling so that he(male) can turn into first S-level male(if I guessed right). As in the case of Song Jianshu, they want Lu Mo to get new females, make Ling jealous, go insane and commit a crime against his male.
LMAO I know Lu Mo is kinda just doing stuff and it works out, but it’d be pretty funny if all the misconceptions were true and he actually was tricking everyone, including us readers.
Thank You for the new chapter ˞♡ฅ(ᐤˊ꒳ฅˋᐤ)
Lu Mo is truly terrifying in all his misunderstandings and blatant actions that just make him so cute and adorable! Thanks for the update ❤️🤣❤️🤣
I LIVE FOR THESE MISUNDERSTANDINGS. It’s so funny to read the povs of other characters when the mc does things that makes the side characters have different thoughts or opinions of the mc.
Thanks for the chapter ( ≧∀≦)ノ
Lu Mo, he understands nothing eh does and yet somehow wins. This is like a baby playing chess with a grandmaster, while babbling cutely, somehow checkmating the grandmaster.
He has the ✨powder of plot ✨with him.
