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

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Chu Yang went out. The job interview location he had his eye on yesterday wasn't far from where he was going to eat.

Following the navigation on the real-view map, we quickly found our destination, a large construction site with robots and transport vehicles coming and going.

Across from the construction site was a house with a man in a black uniform standing at the door.

"Hello, I'm here for an interview."

The gatekeeper was somewhat surprised that a male insect had come for an interview, but he didn't dare to neglect him and quickly invited him into the lounge.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Xiongzi, while I go and inform the person in charge of the insect."

Chu Yang nodded politely, and only after the insect left did he sit upright on the sofa and look around at his surroundings.

It was no different from an office on Earth, and for a moment I couldn't tell if I had traveled through time or was dreaming.

"Manager, manager, a male insect has come for an interview."

The security guard jogged along and, upon seeing Manager Zhang, the person in charge of the project, quickly ran over to him.

"What did you say?"

"A male insect came for an interview and is waiting in the lounge."

Zhang San spat out the nutrient solution packet he had been holding in his mouth and frowned as he looked at the security guard running over.

"How could a male insect possibly come out looking for a job? You must be mistaken."

The gatekeeper looked somewhat helpless. How could he not tell the difference between male and female insects?

"Really, go see for yourself if you don't believe me."

"Hey, I've seen male insects before, but this is the first time I've seen a male insect looking for a job. Let's go take a look."

Chu Yang waited in the lounge for about half an hour before the door was finally pushed open.

The person who came in was a man with short pink hair and light pink eyes. He was rather burly and had dark yellow skin, probably from years of sun exposure.

He wore a white and gold short-sleeved shirt, a white leather jacket, black skinny jeans, and black Doc Martens boots.

Feeling a little nervous, I swallowed hard, then stood up, pursed my lips, and gave a slight, friendly smile.

Zhang San had assumed it would be another fat, greasy male insect and had already devised a plan to get rid of it, but he never expected it to be such a thin and weak male insect.

Not only did it not get angry because of the long wait, but it even smiled at me. This male insect is indeed quite special.

"Ahem, is Mr. Xiongzi here for an interview?"

Zhang San, who had been arrogant before entering the room, suddenly became somewhat flustered after entering, and his steps became smaller.

He walked from the doorway to his desk and gestured with his eyes to the insect following him to pour tea.

Chu Yang took a few steps closer and nodded seriously.

"Yes, I saw a job posting online for a construction site, with a daily wage of 1.5 Star Coins, paid daily, so I came here."

"I did post the job advertisement, but the work on the construction site is all dirty and tiring, and I'm afraid you might not be able to handle it."

Her pale pink eyes sized Chu Yang up and down. He was tall, but his build was even thinner than Bian Ci's, so he probably couldn't do any work.

"It's okay, I can do it. Don't look down on me because I'm thin. I'm strong and can do any kind of work."

Judging from the other party's words, they were probably not very satisfied with him. Chu Yang became a little anxious and raised his voice.

Zhang San is in a bit of a predicament. He can't directly refuse, otherwise the Xiongbao Association will come knocking on his door and things will get complicated. Right now, he can only let him leave on his own initiative.

"Since you insist, then let's try it out for one day. If you don't like it, you can leave at any time, and I will still pay you for that day."

It's better to lose a few star coins than to be complained about. The Male Protection Association are all lackeys of the male insects, troublesome guys. It's best to avoid getting involved with them.

"Okay, I'm fine with it. I can get to work right away."

Chu Yang was eager to start working. It was a high-paying job, and he was determined to persevere no matter how tough or tiring it was.

Following behind Zhang San, they entered the construction site and introduced the site to him as they walked.

"A batch of villas is to be built here. The construction is already halfway complete. The developer wants to finish ahead of schedule, so they have no choice but to hire more laborers."

The construction site here was completely different from what Chu Yang had imagined. There was no dirt or disorder; all he could see were large machines and robots. They had a clear division of labor, and the loading and unloading of materials was carried out in an orderly manner.

Passing through the construction site, there were rows of completed villas behind it. Large machinery was rarely seen here, but there were many female insects in the air.

They stood on the scaffolding, holding small iron buckets, and scribbled on the walls of the villas.

"This is your job; the exterior of these villas needs to be painted."

Chu Yang was overjoyed. Applying paint was just a matter of course, much more comfortable than the manual labor he used to do on construction sites.

"Okay, can I get to work now?"

Zhang San was a little puzzled. Why was the male insect next to him so excited? Could he really endure such tiring and sun-exposed work?

"Xiao Liu, this is the new Lord Chu Yang. Please arrange for him to go and paint later."

Waving at the insects that were collecting paint not far away, a female insect with dark yellow skin quickly ran over with a smile.

"Manager Zhang, don't worry, I'll take His Excellency Chu Yang with me."

"If Lord Chu Yang has any other needs, please try your best to meet them."

Zhang San leaned over and whispered instructions into Xiao Liu's ear.

Xiao Liu nodded knowingly, and then took Chu Yang to collect a bucket of golden paint.

"Your Excellency Chu Yang, we need to finish painting all the patterns on this wall today. If you feel tired, you can take a break at any time."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master Liu."

Xiao Liu's smile faltered. He couldn't believe his ears. This male insect in front of him was calling him Master Liu and saying thank you.

My impression of him instantly improved, and I tried to explain things in as much detail as possible during the teaching process.

Chu Yang had worked on construction sites before, so he naturally had experience in applying plaster. After Xiao Liu finished explaining, he understood how to apply it.

The two of them were positioned in a shady spot, where the sun couldn't reach them.

While working, Xiao Liu would often take a look. He was surprised to find that the male insect was quite clever. It learned after being told only once, and its painting technique was even better than some of the female insects.

Shen Nanxi, who had just finished her work at the hospital, was about to ask about the male lead's condition when the hospital director stopped her.

"Xiao Shen, how are you today? Can you still hold on?"

Shen Nanxi was a little confused about what the dean meant. The workload today wasn't much, so why couldn't she keep going?

The dean looked at Shen Nanxi, who had a bewildered expression, and noticed that there were no inhibition rings on his neck, hands, or feet. Undeterred, he pulled up the sleeve on Shen Nanxi's arm.

There were no marks, and looking at his complexion, he seemed perfectly normal. I breathed a sigh of relief, put down the arm I was holding, and said calmly.

"It's good that you're not injured. It seems your lord likes you quite a bit, since he didn't even bother to torture you."

After all that, it turned out the dean was worried about him getting beaten up. Shen Nanxi smiled and scratched his head.

"Yes, Dean. My brother said he would protect and take care of me from now on."

As if showing off, he deliberately emphasized the words.

"Brother? What kind of address is that?"

“Hehe, this is a nickname that I use exclusively with the male master. He said that he allows me to call him that because he loves me.”

The old dean suddenly felt a toothache, especially when Shen Nanxi squinted her eyes and smiled brightly, the toothache became even worse.

The other insects around also heard Shen Nanxi's words and, with gossipy expressions, quickly gathered around, asking all sorts of questions.

Shen Nanxi didn't know where to begin, and her earlier words had been somewhat embellished. Now, surrounded by questions, she felt a little guilty.

When it was lunchtime, Xiao Liu took Chu Yang to the cafeteria for lunch.

Chu Yang was overjoyed; he hadn't expected that lunch would be included.

Upon arriving at the canteen, the insects who were queuing for food saw a male insect for the first time in the construction site canteen, and they immediately fell silent, all their eyes focusing on Chu Yang.

"Make way, make way, let's get food for Lord Chu Yang first."

As Xiao Liu walked and called out, Chu Yang had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him toward the window.

Because there were male insects present, everyone consciously stepped back, making room for Chu Yang to take the first spot.

Arranged to be first by Xiao Liu, Chu Yang felt like a piece of meat on a barbecue grill, being scrutinized by all the insects' eyes.
