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

The Zerg people experience a lot of rain in early winter, and these past few days the store's employees have been in high spirits, full of boundless energy.

Sales at the store have noticeably increased, and even at closing time every day, there are still many customers lining up to buy.

"Pan Cheng, have you been feeling irritable lately because of the rainy weather?"

Chu Yang tentatively asked him, while still preparing the filling needed for tomorrow.

"Haha, I used to feel really annoyed when it rained, but not anymore. I'm so happy to be able to eat such delicious food every day, don't you think, Pete?"

Pan Cheng, while kneading the dough, nudged Pete, who was also kneading dough next to him, with his butt.

“I completely agree with that. The happiest time of the day is mealtime. Other insects can't even get the food they have to queue up for, but we can eat it right at mealtimes.”

Chu Yang pursed his lips and looked around at the other insects in the kitchen. There was no negative energy on anyone's face.

In mid-November, the rain was still drizzling every few days. To prevent the vegetables in the yard from being soaked and rotting, Chu Yang ordered another greenhouse.

After several days of gloomy and rainy weather, the rain finally stopped and the sun shone through the window. Chu Yang opened his eyes slightly and looked at the sunlight that was streaming in through the cracks in the window.

The strange feeling in my body reappeared, so I immediately got up and went to the training room to run for an hour. Feeling that it wasn't enough, I started boxing with the robot butler.

When Shen Nanxi and Chu Xinhang got up, they only saw breakfast already prepared on the dining table, but they didn't see Chu Yang anywhere.

"My brother should be in the training room."

Shen Nanxi picked up the bowl and ate by herself.

"Today's training session was longer than usual. I hope the master won't faint from exhaustion."

Sitting opposite him, Chu Xinhang looked at him with some concern.

"I advise you to eat more now, eat your fill, otherwise you might not have the energy later."

"Ok?"

He looked up at Chu Xinhang, who was looking puzzled, and said calmly.

"My fertile period has arrived, and the pheromone concentration in the room is too high."

Chu Xinhang was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, his face flushed, and he lowered his head to start eating large mouthfuls of food.

Before leaving, Shen Nanxi couldn't help but give him some more advice.

"I've told you the methods; the rest is up to you to use them."

After gratefully watching Shen Nanxi leave for work, Chu Xinhang secretly looked forward to it. Since arriving here, he had never actually slept with Chu Yang.

After leaving the training room with a clean towel on his head, Chu Yang felt that the frustration and heat in his heart had been temporarily suppressed. Since the last fertile period, he had specifically checked on the StarNet.

Basically, every male insect has a fertile period, which occurs every two or three months. During the fertile period, the male insect's most primal impulses and desires are amplified, and the scent of its pheromones becomes stronger, making it very easy for it to leak out uncontrollably.

"My lord~"

Just as Chu Yang reached the top floor and was about to go back to his room to take a shower, he saw Chu Xinhang standing at the bottom of the stairs wearing a short, cropped white tank top that revealed his midriff, a white leather jacket that reached his waist, and tight leather pants of the same color.

"Are we going to help out at the store later?"

He looked perfectly normal, but now Chu Yang's eyes seemed to have an extra layer of filter on them.

Damn, this vulnerable period is really something.

Chu Yang silently complained to himself, quickly averting his gaze before his suppressed desires could break free, striding past him and hurriedly pushing open the door to the room.

"We won't go today. I'll take you somewhere else later."

As the room door closed, Chu Xinhang pursed his lips in disappointment. It's okay, there's still plenty of time today. No rush, and I can't be too impatient.

Silently cheering himself on, he thought, "With Shen Nanxi's advice, I'm sure I'll succeed today."

After taking a cold shower, Chu Yang shivered from the cold and instantly stopped feeling hot. After coming out of the bathroom, he put on a gray pullover sweater with a high collar, a black casual jacket over it, black cargo pants, and a pair of sneakers.

Looking at his handsome appearance in the mirror, he thought, "Great. Except for my head, everything else is covered up tightly, and I'm trying my best to suppress my pheromones so they don't leak out."

After tidying up, Chu Yang carried a small bamboo basket on his back, which contained some simple planting tools and other items.

"My lord, where are we going?"

Chu Xinhang carried a bamboo basket and followed beside Chu Yang.

"It rained a few days ago, and I wanted to go to the nearby mountains to see if there was any wild game."

When choosing a villa, I specifically picked a location near a mountain. I remember seeing many mushrooms by chance when I was walking through the forest.

It took less than ten minutes of hiking to reach the foot of the nearby mountain. Every planet has forests, but here, apart from naturally growing plants, nothing that is planted can survive.

He took out two hiking sticks and two pairs of black gloves from his basket.

"Are you ready? We're about to head into the mountains."

Chu Xinhang nodded excitedly. "In the wild, it's not impossible."

The fog on the mountain was thick, and there was no obvious path. Chu Yang was ahead, using the stick in his hand to constantly push aside the weeds and dead leaves in front of him.

There are no snakes in this cold weather, making it the perfect time to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

After walking for less than ten minutes, a wide-open view appeared ahead.

There were no dense weeds, only various withered branches and rotten leaves on the ground. Chu Yang excitedly strode forward, squatted down, and used his hand to lift up the slightly raised pile of withered leaves, revealing a patch of black fungus underneath.

"Oh my, we're in for a treat today! Hurry up and pick them up, but be careful. Just pinch the base and gently pull it out."

Unable to contain his excitement, Chu Yang immediately started digging in. The mushrooms were growing well and were intact; they were truly plump and beautiful.

Chu Xinhang didn't understand why the male ruler was so excited to see this pile of wild mushrooms, so he could only pick them up along with him.

Not far away, there were morels, boletus, and termite mushrooms; under some withered branches, there were matsutake mushrooms and milkweed mushrooms. Chu Yang, like a hungry wolf hunting its prey, devoured all the edible fungi within his sight.

Picking mushrooms in the mountains is an incredibly addictive activity. Chu Yang had already filled almost his entire basket without realizing it, growing more and more excited as he picked more—there were simply too many mushrooms to pick. He was so excited that he didn't even lift his head once all morning.

Finally, when I started to feel a bit tired, I looked at the time and realized it was already afternoon. Only then did I start to feel hungry.

"Let's take a break, have some nutritional supplements to tide us over."

He plopped down on the broken tree trunk, carefully took the basket off his back and placed it in front of him, and then took out two packets of strawberry-flavored nutrient solution from his pocket.

"Give."

Chu Xinhang took the pink strawberry-flavored nutrient solution with both hands, paused slightly, and stared straight at the nutrient solution in his hands.

Does it look familiar?

Seeing the somewhat lost in thought, Chu Yang smiled gently, looked down at him, and continued speaking.

"This is your dowry."

Dowry? Chu Xinhang's surprised eyes trembled slightly as he looked up at the gentle Chu Yang in disbelief.

"All those fruit-flavored nutritional drinks I drank before were bought by yourself."

"A mighty ruler!"

With a trembling voice, Chu Xinhang's eyes were filled with tears. He felt a warm feeling in his heart and didn't know how to express his current feelings.
