I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

The weather has turned cooler recently, and the first rain of the winter fell in early November.

The rain was quite heavy, pattering against the window and waking Chu Yang, who was already asleep.

He noticed that Shen Nanxi, who was lying next to him, was tossing and turning and seemed very agitated.

She pulled him closer, stroked his head, and whispered in his ear.

"Sweetie, it's not dawn yet, go back to sleep for a while."

With Chu Yang's reassurance, Shen Nanxi's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her breathing became even.

The rain continued until dawn. Chu Yang didn't sleep well that night. With the sound of raindrops on the window, vague memories kept floating in his mind.

It seemed as if there was a blurry figure, also in the heavy rain, sheltering him in its arms.

Unfortunately, those memories are too distant, and I can't recall anything about them now.

Before the alarm rang, Chu Yang had already tiptoed out of the room.

The rain not only lowered the temperature by several degrees, but also brought much-needed relief to the plants in the backyard.

Especially that patch of chives, which has already grown quite long, and the first harvest will be ready in another week.

After checking the condition of the crops, Chu Yang went to the gym in the basement. In addition to his daily workouts, he had recently started sparring with the robot butler.

It must be said that this customized robot butler is really amazing. It handles all kinds of weapons with great skill and is a very good training opponent.

Months of continuous physical training have made Chu Yang's muscles clearly defined, especially his eight-pack abs.

After practicing swordsmanship with the robot butler, beads of sweat dripped from my hair onto my face.

Looking at his broad shoulders, narrow back, and strong, muscular body in the mirror, Chu Yang couldn't help but raise his arms to show off his muscles.

After taking a hot shower and changing into clean clothes, I started preparing breakfast.

"My lord, good morning."

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Chu Yang turned around and saw Chu Xinhang standing at the kitchen door, wearing a blue silk nightgown and yawning sleepily.

"It's raining, and I feel a bit irritable and can't sleep."

Don't you like rainy days?

As she spoke, she tossed the shredded greens she was holding into the nearly cooked minced meat porridge, and added some salt to taste.

Chu Xinhang also came over to help clear the dishes and prepare breakfast.

"I don't like it. Everything is wet and sticky on rainy days. I prefer sunny days."

Just as the meal was ready, Shen Nanxi came downstairs looking disgusted. With her shoulders slumped, she pulled over a chair, plopped down on it, and let out a heavy sigh.

Chu Yang scooped a bowl of vegetable and minced meat porridge and placed it beside him, asking softly.

Don't you like rain either?

"Yes, research has found that most insects don't like rainy days because rain makes them inexplicably irritable."

With her head tilted back, the humid air kept flooding into her nasal cavity, and Shen Nanxi rubbed her itchy nose uncomfortably.

"Since you don't like rainy days, then eat an extra bowl of rice. Hot food will drive away the cold and dampness."

Shen Nanxi and Chu Xinhang thought this made a lot of sense, and their lazy eyes became clear and bright.

"Hmm~ Brother, as expected, after eating your cooking, I feel warm all over and my mood isn't so gloomy anymore."

After taking a big gulp of the vegetable and minced meat porridge, Shen Nanxi blinked her bright eyes and looked at Chu Yang with delight.

"My lord, I also feel that eating your cooking has improved my mood."

"There's no problem that a good meal can't solve. If there is, then have another meal. Here, let me fill your cups again."

I divided the last bit of porridge in the pot between them and gave one of them a red bean bun. Eating something sweet makes you feel happy.

After dinner, Shen Nanxi drove to the hospital, while Chu Yang took Chu Xinhang to the black market.

"Your Excellency Chu Yang, the aircraft you ordered is ready."

In the bar's backyard, there was a spaceship-shaped aircraft, which Chu Yang had Pan Cheng have Xu Le modify.

"As expected of a mechanic, this aircraft is small, but it has plenty of internal space and comes with so many extra functions."

Xu Le smiled and humbly led Chu Yang and the others on a tour inside the aircraft.

"You flatter me, Lord Chu Yang. They are just some small trinkets."

A little gadget?

Chu Yang was so shocked that he slid to his knees. A quantum defense system, a counter-reconnaissance system, an automatic tracking system, and an arsenal system.

What's going on? I just wanted to buy a home cargo aircraft with similar performance but a larger capacity.

Is it a bit of a waste to use it just for loading cargo?

After visiting the aircraft, Chu Yang and his group went to a private room in the bar, where the waiter brought them three glasses of low-alcohol fruit wine.

Chu Yang glanced at it. "Don't drink and drive. Although the Zerg don't prohibit drunk driving, it's never a good thing to drink and drive."

Xu Le seemed to understand Chu Yang's concerns, and with a slight smile, he raised the fruit wine in his hand towards him.

"There's no need to worry about drunk driving; the aircraft has an autopilot mode."

Having said all that, Chu Yang felt that if he didn't drink, he would be ungrateful, so he picked up his glass and took a sip.

In the dim light, Xu Le's long green hair shimmered with an emerald-like halo, adding to his mystique.

Looking at his long green hair, Chu Yang seemed to recall a touch of green deep in his memory, but it was so long ago that he couldn't remember it clearly anymore.

"There's something else I'd like to talk to you about."

Xu Le raised his eyelids slightly, asking in surprise.

"Oh? There's something that can stump Lord Chu Yang? I'm all ears."

He put down his wine glass, leaned back on the sofa armrest, and laid out his future development plans in detail, while also mentioning his problems.

After listening to what Chu Yang had to say, Xu Le smiled calmly and pushed up his glasses.

"Your Excellency does indeed need to establish a company group. According to your development plan, it will definitely become a leader in the industry in the future. You will need rules and regulations to restrain your employees, which is a good thing."

Halfway through his sentence, Xu Le raised his glass, took a small sip, and continued.

"Regarding the company's finances, if you don't mind, I would like to offer my services."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's eyes lit up instantly; he had finally waited for him to speak.

We had talked about financial issues at the store before. At that time, Pan Cheng recommended Xu Le, saying that he had studied financial management courses and was good at accounting.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to hire him even with a high salary, but he actually volunteered himself, which saved me a lot of trouble.

So the two of them made a decision: Xu Le would not only be the chief financial officer, but also Chu Yang's secretary, handling some daily chores for Chu Yang.

Chu Xinhang was in charge of the management and recruitment of the company's employees, as he had previous experience in this field.

After the discussion was over, Chu Yang prepared to return home. Before leaving, Xu Le reminded him of something.

"Your Excellency, winter is coming and war is about to break out. There will be a shortage of supplies for a period of time. We need to stockpile more raw materials in the next few days."

"Okay, I'll order more right away."

After leaving Xu Le's place, Chu Yang piloted the aircraft alone for the first time, and he had to admit, it was truly exciting.

Not only is it fast, but it's also incredibly stable; you can't even feel like you're flying.

After ordering the raw materials, Chu Yang also stockpiled some other supplies. Now that it's cold, it's the perfect time to pickle vegetables.

Thinking of Xu Le's words about war breaking out in winter, the scene of seeing the wounded female soldier in the hospital that day came back to mind.

"Xinhang, go back to the store and wait for me. I'm going to the hospital to talk to the director about something."

"Good~"

In the dean's office, the old dean, with tears in his eyes, walked excitedly to Chu Yang and Shen Nanxi, grasped their hands, and said with overwhelming gratitude.

"Your suggestion is entirely beneficial to us. Not only me, but even Lord Li Panxiong will be grateful for your contribution."

Chu Yang withdrew his hands and smiled calmly.

“In that case, I will come here every week to have my blood drawn, donate half to the hospital and keep the other half for myself.”

After the matter was settled, the old dean personally saw Chu Yang off. Looking at his slightly thin figure, he couldn't help but feel excited.

If all the male insects on planet D06 had the same awareness as Chu Yang, there would be fewer casualties in the annual war.
