“Splash—”
The water rushed over the fat male zerg’s hands as he cupped a handful and buried his face in it.
The ice-cold water refreshed him, finally alleviating some of the nauseous feeling. He rinsed his mouth with water and instinctively wanted to see himself in the mirror—but he had already removed all the mirrors in this place.
The fat male zerg muttered under his breath.
Damn Bai Liu, he had never seen anything this crazy before.
Standing by the sink, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, and the cheap, pungent smoke filled the entire restroom. In the white smoke, the fat male zerg squinted his eyes.
Of course, he wasn’t Lu Mo; his real name was Luo Si. Like Minoki, he was also a C-class male zerg.
In the entire zerg society, C-class males were already considered among the top thirty percent. Luo Si and Minoki enjoyed a comfortable life. As long as they followed the rules and married one or two B-class females and produced enough offspring, they would live a worry-free life.
But that was the limit. The depth of the rift between each level of the zerg society was almost unimaginable. Luo Si and Minoki were not satisfied with just such a life, but they had no possibility of advancing any further.
So, they joined forces and deceived countless female and male zergs over the years…
Being C-class males, as long as they were a little cautious, even if they were discovered and caught, they would soon be released.
Coming to the Imperial City to deceive others was like dancing on the edge of a knife. Luo Si specifically instructed Minoki to find a good target. He didn’t expect Minoki to bring such a crazy one.
In this line of work, they weren’t afraid of being too clever; they were afraid of them being particularly crazy.
The cigarette butt gradually burned down to his fingertips. Luo Si bit the cigarette, and the long ash fell.
He pressed the remaining cigarette butt forcefully against the wall, clenched his thick lips with his teeth, and his eyes revealed a fierce glint: Lets Do it! Screw him!
Seeking fortune amidst danger, after completing this task, he and Minoki could squander for the rest of their lives!
As Luo Si turned around, he unexpectedly met a pair of cold eyes. Startled, his throat rolled, almost choking him.
A female zerg wearing a dealer’s uniform stood quietly behind him, and he didn’t notice how long he had been standing there.
He reluctantly forced a smile, “Oh… It’s you, Iqi. What are you doing here?”
Luo Si felt disgusted by this female zerg, even though he didn’t have the bloodline of the Eerie Clan. But compared to his younger brother, Iqi was even more repulsive. He was like a clump of wet and sticky waterweed growing underwater, extremely gloomy.
But Luo Si had to endure it. When it came to cheating in the casino, he couldn’t find an zerg more skilled than Iqi.
Just in that aspect alone, Iqi brought in tens of thousands of income for him every month!
Iqi’s amber eyes moved, staring at Luo Si as he said, “We made a deal. Once I earned one million, you were supposed to give me my brother’s freedom certificate. I earned enough last month.”
“Oh… about that…”
Luo Si laughed awkwardly, “Ah, Iqi, you don’t understand. We can only have such a smooth journey by taking care of some matters. All the money you earn must be handed over to other superiors. Otherwise, your brother won’t even be able to keep his life, you know?”
He hesitated, “It’s not bad that I didn’t lose any money on this one!”
Iqi looked at him steadily, “How much more do you need?”
Luo Si’s eyes darted around, and he said in a somewhat vague manner, “Let’s say… I need to earn ten million?”
In an instant, Iqi’s pupils dilated.
Ten million…
He worked for Iqi for a full ten years, and only managed to earn one million after being deducted for various reasons. And now, Luo Si was asking for ten million?
Iqi stared at Luo Si, anger causing his whole body to tremble. Hoarsely, he said, “You’ve been deceiving me from the beginning.”
“Hahaha—”
Luo Si laughed uproariously, mocking Iqi in his almost desperate eyes, “Iqi, you only realized it now? From the beginning, I had no intention of releasing your brother!”
“You clearly promised me!” Iqi pounced forward, grabbing Luo Si by the collar. “You promised me that once I earned one million, you would let us go!”
As a B-class female, Iqi was much taller than Luo Si, but Luo Si looked up at him with disdain in his eyes.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
“Well, did you earn it?”

“You two brothers are machines for making money for me in this lifetime. I advise you to be obedient—maybe I’ll be a little nicer to you?”
“… ”
Luo Si, who had turned his back, didn’t see the expression in Iqi’s eyes. For the first time, he revealed an almost naked intent to kill.
————
On the other side of a wall, Lu Mo was sitting with Ling, dividing the fruit of their luck.
He solemnly extends a finger and says, “One chip is worth a thousand Alliance Points. We won a total of three hundred thousand, and among that, two thousand points should belong to me.”
Ling, supporting his cheek with one hand, nods and says, “Indeed.”
“Very well.” Lu Mo extends a second finger. “Moreover, these two chips are crucial starting funds. According to our agreement, I have full ownership of all shares, so all the assets should rightfully be mine.”
Ling looks at Lu Mo, and his lips slowly curl up.
Lu Mo averts his face and whispers, “But, you are my wife, and I swore to share everything with you, so… I will generously give you half.”
He quickly transfers two hundred thousand to Ling’s account and says, “The remaining fifty thousand is a reward for your luck. I won’t take advantage of you.”
Although he says so, his tone reveals his guilt, almost overflowing.
What a shameless male zerg!
Lu Mo mentally scolds himself, never having seen such shameless audacity!
Ling looks at Lu Mo in this state, his smile deepening.
It seems that Lu Mo always forgets one thing: after marriage, the female zerg must unconditionally hand over all property to the male zerg. In other words, Ling’s account belongs to Lu Mo.
He could confidently take away all the money, rather than awkwardly giving two-thirds of it to Ling as he is doing now.
Truly…
The female from the eerie race sat on a chair nearby.
He sar very upright, knees together, hands nervously placed on his knees. Perhaps even he himself is unaware that he is observing the expressions of Lu Mo and Ling.
People who have always been oppressed and bullied usually have the habit of reading people’s expressions. They carefully anticipate sudden outbursts of anger in order to minimize the beatings.
At this moment, the female’s eyes widen in astonishment, almost seeing through everything.
Common sense tells him that what is happening before his eyes is not right.
All of the female zerg’s possessions should be offered to the male zerg, and no male zerg would act like this “Lord Bai Liu.”
What’s even stranger is…
Doesn’t Lord Bai Liu intervene?!
Any female zerg, treated like this by a male zerg, would kneel down in fear. But he even sees Lord Yi laughing?
Absolutely Impossible!
The female covers his face with a “pat” sound.
Although he doesn’t know what’s going on, his lips can’t help but curl up!
How envious! I’m sorry, but having such thoughts is a crime—but I really envy it!
“By the way.” Lu Mo suddenly remembers something and turns to the female. “You’re here, how much is your monthly salary?”
He stands tall, always carrying a hint of arrogance when looking at others, which is a very offensive gesture. Perhaps some zergs might think he behaves this way only towards those beneath him, but zergs familiar with Lu Mo would know that it’s not the case—
Even if the heavens themselves were here today, Lu Mo would still act this way.
The female blinks his eyes, looking confusedly at “Lord Bai Liu.” He looks around, seemingly searching for the intended recipient of Lord Bai Liu’s question.
Finally, he tentatively points to himself with his finger, “Are you asking me?”
Lu Mo impatiently snorts, “As if there are other zerg tribes here.”
On the other side, the uneasy Minoki sits up straight.
The female hastily shakes his head and waves his hand, forcing a smile, “Your Lordship is joking. I am a slave, how could I have a salary?”
But the smile on his face is so forced, sadness and sorrow almost overflowing. Any conscientious zerg would feel sad for him.
That is, if they didn’t know he was a female from the eerie race.
The female lowers his gaze.
For him, everything that happened today seemed like a dream. Lord Bai Liu appeared out of nowhere like a shooting star, illuminating his perpetually silent and dark sky in an instant.
However, he didn’t expect the shooting star to stay for him. He only wished to remember the brilliance of this moment for the rest of his life.
In the next moment, his hand was tightly held.
Tge female looked up in astonishment, only to hear the male zerg with sunglasses say seriously, “So… would you like to work for me? I’m willing to pay you a daily wage of ten dollars.”
The female’s mouth fell open.
Lu Mo: “Hmm, ten dollars.”
System: =口=
System: [Lu, Lu Mo, I’ve never heard of such a terrifying wage in my life…]
Lu Mo remained composed, his face unchanged and his heart unaffected. He had already undergone a complete transformation from body to mind and had become a fully qualified heartless capitalist!
He raised an eyebrow at the female. “What do you think?”
The female stared blankly at Lu Mo.
Slaves don’t receive wages.
That was just the surface; it meant that slaves belonged to their masters, body and soul, and even their thoughts didn’t belong to themselves.
Even the lowest-ranking zerg tribes at least retained one thing: their names.
Slaves didn’t have names.
No name, no freedom, no soul—they were just empty reeds.
But now, Lord Bai Liu said he wanted to pay him a wage?
How… delusional.
Before the female could react, Minoki on the side jumped up. “Lord Bai Liu! This is absolutely improper! This female belongs to Lord Lu Mo, and besides, he carries the blood of the eerie clan—”
“Bang—”
The sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out, and just an instant later, the sound of glass hitting the ground came from outside the building!
Screams, shouts, and footsteps mixed together. Inside the room, the zerg creatures panicked and scrambled, trying to escape from the room.
Some clever ones took money from other people’s pockets and ran!
“Don’t run! Don’t panic!”
Minoki yelled, stomping his feet, but it was completely useless. One by one, they all ran out!
Lu Mo raised an eyebrow. “Mr. Minoki, as a friend of Lord Lu Mo, you’re truly loyal. Even in such a situation, you remember to stabilize the situation for him.”
Minoki stiffly closed his mouth, watching all the zerg creatures escape, unable to even call security to maintain order.
After all, he was just Lu Mo’s friend now!
He forced a smile and said, “As you say, Lord Lu Mo is indeed my good friend. I uphold righteousness!”
“Indeed,” Lu Mo nodded. “Your character is truly noble.”
He stood up and said to Ling, “Let’s go and see what’s happening.”
Perhaps they could take advantage of the chaos to gain some measly scum value!
Feeling Lu Mo’s eagerness, Ling stood up knowingly and said, “Stand behind me and be careful.”
While Lu Mo appeared arrogant on the surface, he reached out and obediently grabbed the corner of Ling’s waist. “I don’t need your reminder.”
Ling led Lu Mo to the entrance of the restroom, but the door was locked.
Ling tilted his head, then gently covered Lu Mo’s ear with his hand.
Lu Mo: ?
Perplexed, he looked at Ling Dao from above his sunglasses. “What are you doing?”
“The sound might be a bit loud.”
Ling lowered his head, toes pressing against the ground, and twisted his ankle.
In the next moment, he squinted his eyes, and his right leg swiftly and heavily struck the door like a whip!
With a loud “boom,” the door swung open.
Lu Mo startled, his mouth wide open. “Oh, oh, oh!”
Everything inside the room was revealed. A female zerg dressed as a dealer had one hand pressing on the shoulder of the fake male zerg, while the other hand held a dagger against his neck.
They stood by the window, facing Lu Mo and Ling who had barged in.
“Don’t come any closer!” the female zerg nervously pursed her lips and shouted at them. “Or I’ll kill him!”
Lu Mo: …
No, we’re not here to mediate.
Go ahead, don’t mind us.
A large crowd had already gathered downstairs, curiously watching everything happening upstairs.
Ling calmly looked at the dealer. “What were you thinking? Why would you make a move in the Imperial Star?”
“This is the most central location of the entire zerg tribe…” He sighed helplessly. “Even if you wanted to make a move, you should have found a more discreet place, right?”
“I can’t wait any longer!!” The female zerg angrily roared, “He deserves to die!! I don’t care about anything else!”
At that moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, scattering the female zerg’s hair as it danced in the air.
Just five minutes had passed since the glass hit the ground, and a small single-person patrol ship had arrived!
“Put down the male zerg you’re holding, or you’ll be shot on the spot!”
Iqi instinctively turned his head, his face turning pale.
Countless warships hovered in the air, forming an impenetrable net. He was trapped with no way to escape.
At the same time, Iqi’s pale face appeared in the StarNet live broadcast room.
And the black-haired, green-eyed chubby male zerg he was holding hostage.
