It was the hottest time of the day, around two in the afternoon, when the sunlight was at its most scorching. The sun bathed the entire world in a glaring whiteness. Looking out through the open window, the sky was a pristine blue, and even the birds seemed too lazy to fly across—it was as if they were exhausted from the heat and were resting in the trees and grass. The tree canopies were lush green, the roads were slender and white, and there were scattered flowers along the roadside, adding a touch of delightful variation.
Occasionally, energetic little zergs of the female zergs would run across the paths, playing with a ball as they dashed into the grass.
Morr was drawn back from his gaze outside the window. Despite the sweltering weather, he didn’t close the window; instead, he left it wide open. It wasn’t that he wasn’t bothered by the heat; quite the contrary, he was drenched in sweat. But he didn’t mind at all because he was in such a light-hearted mood. It felt as if he were bound to ten fully inflated balloons, ready to float away into the sky if not tethered by a string.
He was so elated that even this spacious room felt too small for him. He needed to open the window and look at the vast expanse of the world to express his jubilation.
In the past few days, there had been a continuous stream of good news. Their main force had finally broken through the extermination by the zerg emperor and successfully established their own base! Although it may sound insignificant, they had relentlessly pursued this goal for nearly ten years, enduring countless failures—now they had finally taken a crucial step forward. With a base, they could steadily develop and grow.
What was even more gratifying was that they had long prepared for this moment, and once the base was established, all their needs were promptly met. The overall situation was flourishing and prosperous.
Morr clenched his fists with force, then grabbed the coat rack standing in the corner of the room and twirled it around, dancing in circles.
Among these ten events, one of them played a significant role thanks to Morr’s involvement. It was the delivery of ten extremely important base maps. With this map in hand, they had managed to capture the base at minimal cost.
He also recalled those ten days…
He had pursued nervously, even prepared for the possibility of exposing his identity, just to deliver the map safely into the hands of the alliance. However, that seemingly proud and aloof male zerg casually tossed the map back to him.
“Isn’t this yours?”
He seemed to know everything but had no intention of revealing it. Morr had anxiously lingered at home for a long time, but to his surprise, Lu Mo had done nothing.
“Ah… Ah…”
Hugging the coat rack, Morr spun around ten times, his face turning flushed with excitement, burying his head in his clothes. “Sir Lu Mo!”
After that, he collected countless pieces of information about Lu Mo, trying to understand his true intentions. However, the more he collected, the more shocked and frightened he became…
The planet he was on was a dying wasteland, but under Lu Mo’s influence, it had absorbed numerous wandering zerg tribes, allowing them to survive and maintain a basic level of dignity.
He had saved countless female zergs on the verge of spiritual collapse, yet he never asked for any reward.
And after emerging into the public eye, he had advanced from a D-class male zerg to an A-class male zerg in just a few months!
Although Lu Mo always wore an unapproachable, cold expression, Morr wasn’t the kind of zerg who judged others by their appearances. On the contrary, he was filled with genuine joy—a joy that came from discovering a dusty pearl among piles of sand.
Sir Lu Mo was definitely their good ally. Whether his arrogance and aloof demeanor were due to his personality or some hidden reason, Morr was determined to bring Sir Lu Mo to their side.
Looking back at the past and looking forward to the future, Morr was filled with deep emotions and opened his mouth to exclaim, “Ah…”
He held up the support frame of the coat rack and said affectionately, “I will definitely capture your heart, Sir Lu Mo!!”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of dishes and chopsticks shattering behind him. Morr turned around in confusion and saw his beloved male father standing at the doorway, eyes red and on the verge of tears, but holding them back with all his might.
“Morr… my dear Morr…”
The baron forced out a smile that looked worse than crying and struggled to speak, “So, so it’s because of this that you’ve never chosen a female zerg? I didn’t mean anything else, but…”
He held back his tears.
He couldn’t hold them back anymore.
He couldn’t bear it.
The baron burst into tears, “But Lu Mo already has a female monarch!”
Morr: “…”
# Today, the male father is also thinking about strange things #
On the table, the screen was playing Lu Mo’s latest video. In the air, several tens of meters above the ground, the tall male zerg slowly approached the broken window, his long hair swaying in the wind. He took off his black sunglasses, revealing his cold and piercing emerald green eyes. He reached out his hand to the desperate female zerg, tempting him like a bewitching demon, luring every exhausted traveler who fell into the water.
“Deal.”
He slightly curved his lips, and another ten innocent souls fell into his abyss.
——————
“What are you capable of?”
After numerous twists and turns, Lu Mo and the ten people he brought with him finally arrived at the hotel where they were staying.
They were later than the scheduled time, and there were two extra zergs compared to what was originally planned.
The room was a top-class luxury suite, exuding luxury in every corner. Lu Mo casually threw the bag he was holding—inside the bag were the property transfer documents he had obtained from Luo Si—as if he were throwing away trash.
Iqi held his brother’s hand and felt completely out of place in the room. He cautiously looked at Lu Mo and Ling, saying, “As you’ve seen, I’m skilled at gambling…”
At this moment, Ling was searching around the room, as it was his habit to ensure safety in unfamiliar environments as the tenth task.
Upon hearing Iqi’s words, his search came to a halt.
“Well,” Iqi said frustratedly, “as you can see, I’m good at cheating. There’s no need to hide it, especially since a male zerg like you probably already knew.”
Lu Mo: “…”
What??
He was so shocked that he almost jumped up on the spot. So, you little scoundrel, you were cheating—
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.
But as a professional, he quickly calmed down, cleared his throat, and pretended, “Of course, your little tricks couldn’t escape my eyes.”

This is a very peculiar feeling. While the personalities of male zergs may differ, there are some commonalities: when they look at female zergs, their gaze naturally carries a sense of invasion.
It’s as if it’s only natural for you to accept their scolding, to accept their disdain. When they spontaneously care about you, it’s also not something you can refuse.
In the span of few seconds, you may not know this male zerg, but in the next few seconds, he might suddenly reach out and cover your forehead, saying, “Your face is red, are you sick?”
And Lu Mo…
There is always a subtle sense of distance around him.
Even if he stands beside you, he remains indifferent, as if he hasn’t noticed you at all.
Perhaps in the eyes of male zergs, Lu Mo’s personality seems quite cold, but in the eyes of female zergs, it represents a firm type of “security.”
There is no need to fear him directly, to fear what he might be plotting in his heart, to fear his capricious nature, to fear him venting his emotions on you.
In Lu Mo’s presence, one can feel an unprecedented tranquility.
…
“While your gambling skills are commendable, I don’t currently need them.” The male zerg frowned and muttered, “Besides cheating, is there anything else you can do?”
“Plop!” Iqi knelt down on the ground, deeply pressing his head against the floor. “Please punish me, Master!”
The other female zerg looked at Lu Mo, then at his brother, and anxiously knelt down as well. “Please punish me, Master!”
Lu Mo’s expression stiffened for a moment. His buttocks slightly lifted off the chair, but he forced himself to sit back down.
“Of course!” He looked expressionless at Iqi. “If you can’t even fulfill the Master’s request, then you should indeed be punished.”
See?
The closer Lu Mo gets, the more uneasy he becomes.
These are completely, completely harmless male zergs.
Lu Mo cleared his throat, turned his head, and called out, “Ling!”
Ling put down what he was holding and came to stand behind him, his sleeve brushing against Lu Mo’s cheek.
He lowered his head and looked at Lu Mo. “Master, would you like me to punish this female zerg?”
“Do I need to say it?” Lu Mo reproached with dissatisfaction. “My dear female monarch, shouldn’t you fulfill your duties? Always making male zergs handle these trivial matters, don’t you feel ashamed?”
Ling suddenly understood, “I see. Then please, Master, go and have your meal first. You’ve been working hard for days, and besides, the scene of punishing a female zerg can be a bit bloody for male zergs. It shouldn’t dirty your eyes.”
Lu Mo: “…”
Bloody?
In an instant, the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty paraded through his mind.
And the system, afraid of chaos, chimed in his head: [Don’t worry, don’t worry. At most, it’ll be this and that with this female zerg, and then that and this. Finally, it’ll be this and that!]
Lu Mo: =口=
He stiffly stood up and stared into Ling’s eyes.
Ling smiled at him, their gazes locked, and his eyes dangerously landed on Lu Mo’s thin lips.
“Hmm…” Lu Mo cautiously spoke, “Considering that he is now my property, we can’t damage the workforce.”
Ling saluted him, “I guarantee the mission will be completed.”
With things having come to this point, Lu Mo could no longer turn back.
He turned around, tears streaming down his wide face, hammering his conscience that was faintly in pain, and stumbled out of the door.
Being kowtowed to today would surely shorten his lifespan.
It’s maddening, maddening, maddening…
…
Ling habitually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, holding one in his mouth but not lighting it.
Because of the cigarette, his voice sounded a bit muffled, “As a qualified female monarch, naturally, I must strictly follow the Master’s orders.”
Iqi remained kneeling on the ground, his back muscles slightly tense due to nervousness. “Please punish me.”
“I don’t like prolonging torture, so you can rest assured it will end soon.”
Ling reached out and rolled up his sleeve above his forearm, revealing the small patche of skin between the white glove and the sleeve.
He was still wearing his boots. He never took them off until he confirmed it was safe.
Now, the thick soles of his boots pressed against the wooden floor, thumping, time and time again. It was as if they were pounding on Iqi’s body.
Iqi lowered his head, growing increasingly nervous.
Which is more terrifying, the capricious male zergs or the jealous and mad female zergs?
He had also heard stories of male zergs doting on beautiful and delicate female while neglecting their female monarchs. The jealousy of those female zergss drove them to madness, resulting in the death of the female slaves.
“I…”
Iqi struggled to lower his head, his mind racing. How could he make the female monarch understand in the shortest possible time that he had no slightest admiration for Lu Mo and posed no threat to his position?
But no matter what, the more he explained, the more it sounded like sophistry.
“Click.”
The sound of a gun cocking resonated, and Iqi felt a cold objects pressing against his head. Sweat poured down his face in an instant.
It was a gun.
“I’ve tried many methods, such as whips, knives, swords, but they’re all quite cumbersome.” Ling’s voice was filled with delight. “This one works best.”
The other female zerg nervously lifted his head and in that instant, his pupils contracted into small dots.
“Please, I beg you,” his trembling voice filled with fear, he reached out to push Ling away, “Please don’t kill my brother… If my brother has offended you in any way, punish me instead, I beg you!”
Ling tilted his head, looking at the Eerie female zerg with extreme terror. Slowly, a wicked smile spread across his face.
“If that’s the case…”
He flipped his left hand, and the gun was once again aimed at him. There was not a shred of mercy in his crimson eyes. “Then all of you can rise.”
“Bang!”
Two gunshots rang out, and the two female zergs convulsed and trembled before slowly falling to the ground.
…
Countless scraps of confetti danced in the air, covering the entire room. Ling twirled his hands, producing beautiful gun flowers, and then swiftly inserted them back into his waist.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
“…”
Iqi, lying on the ground, slowly opened his eyes, unable to believe it, he touched his head, completely unharmed.
He turned his head to see his brother, who also looked at him dazedly. The two zergs stared at each other, unable to utter a word.
Ling covered his face with his hand, laughing uncontrollably.
“Sorry… sorry, it wasn’t intentional, but hahaha…” He laughed while sitting on the chair, twisting and turning, unbuttoning two buttons of his chest, revealing delicate collarbones.
He was laughing so hard that even his cigarette was about to fall off.
After finally suppressing his laughter, he gasped for breath and said, “But I couldn’t hold back.”
Iqi: “…”
Looking at Ling’s eyes, which gradually changed from 0-0 to =-=, he realized that this female zerg was also insane.
More insane than Lu Mo!
“Greetings.” Ling blinked at Ike. “You’re still young, don’t be so old-fashioned. Being so lifeless is detrimental to the stability of your spiritual sea.”
Iqi: “…Does the Master know?”
Ling awkwardly cleared his throat a few times. “He… of course, he knows.”
Iqi innocently widened his eyes. “Really…?”
“Alright, alright,” Ling raised his hand in surrender. “Sorry for scaring you. But after all, it was the Master’s order…”
He touched his nose in annoyance. “Clean up the room. That will be your punishment.”
Perhaps afraid that Iqi would say something else, Ling quickly stood up and opened the door in three steps. “I’m going to find Lu Mo. He’s having a meal with others, and he’s probably going to get angry again. Oh, by the way… something will be delivered later. This room is for you, so don’t worry about anything else.”
The door closed decisively, and the footsteps of the female zerg quickly receded.
Iqi turned his head and looked at the mess on the floor. The eerie female was already half-kneeling, picking up the scattered confetti.
Iqi smiled helplessly and joined his brother.
“Brother, it’s the first time I’ve seen you so happy.”
“Hmm?”
“Right here,” the eerie zerg pointed with his finger, poking Iqi’s forehead. “This spot of yours, it’s not wrinkled anymore.”
Iqi absentmindedly reached out and touched his forehead.
The eerie zerg tilted his head and looked at him. “Brother?”
Iqi sat up cross-legged, scratched the back of his head, and looked up at the ceiling.
“Hmm…”
Finally, he slapped the floor and gritted his teeth. “Who cares if I’m happy?!”
“Eh?!!”
…
On the third floor of the hotel was the dining area.
Lu Mo sat by the window, as the night gradually unfolded, two large moons hung in the sky.
There were also many male zergs around. Lu Mo had been sitting here for five minutes, and the male zerg at the next table had already been approached by no less than six female zergs.
And on Lu Mo’s side…
Empty, empty, empty.
Lu Mo proudly drank a sip of soup, the clear broth reflecting his face.
Look!
The contemptuous gaze towards all living beings—
The three parts indifference, two parts recklessness, and four parts disdainful smirk, with a touch of world-weariness—
And the perfectly lifted chin—
Just two words, perfect.
He had meticulously practiced this expression. Even the system had been scared by it, crying and saying that it reminded it of a time when it was insufficiently experienced, being forcibly pulled out of the host’s spiritual sea by a certain world’s great demon king. Lu Mo’s smile was almost identical to that demon king’s.
Thinking of this, Lu Mo became a little angry.
Why was he so dedicated, and yet he still didn’t get his scum value?!
“Master.”
The gloved hands encircled Lu Mo from behind, stopping him from wildly smashing the bread with a spoon.
Lu Mo turned his head, and coincidentally, Ling lowered his head as if he wanted to say something, and their lips brushed lightly.
Ling: “…”
His ears turned slightly red, and he was about to straighten up, but Lu Mo grabbed his collar with his hands.
In an outburst of anger, Lu Mo used his other hand to hold the back of Ling’s head, his fingers slipping through the silky strands, pressing Ling against him.
“Hisss…”
“Oh!!”
“Damn it!!”
The exclamation in the restaurant came one after another, accompanied by the clicking sound of cameras, echoing continuously.
Lu Mo finally let go of Ling, lazily propping his cheek on his hand, and said, “This is your punishment for not coming earlier.”
This was truly an unreasonable accusation. Clearly, he had pushed Ling away, ordered Ling to punish Iqi, and then he turned his face and blamed Ling.
Truly despicable.
Ling couldn’t help but turn his head, somewhat embarrassedly wiping away the moisture at the corner of his mouth, and said softly.
Lu Mo leaned forward, “What did you say?”
“I said…”
Just then, on the distant horizon, within the deep darkness of the night, wisps of fireworks ascended.
At the highest point in that moment, brilliant fireworks burst forth, scattering thousands of sparks.
The divine grace ceremony was finally about to begin.
Fireworks bloomed one after another, and all the zerg species turned their gaze towards the window, their eyes filled with hope for the future.
Gazing at Lu Mo in a daze, Ling said, “Master, you seemed like you wanted to kiss me just now.”
Lings’s left hand grabbed a few strands of hair, gently stroking them, then said, “I meant when we were in the room, so…”
Lu Mo: “…”
He turned his head and looked at the fireworks in the sky. “The fireworks are quite beautiful…”
“Yes, they are beautiful every year.”
Lu Mo propped his cheeks with both hands, his palms burning hot.
Was it really that obvious?!!
Lu Mo wants to kiss Ling everyone! 🤭
