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

In the middle of the night, Xue Fengyi was kept awake by the mentally unstable prison bully next door. The reason he wasn't dragged to the dark room was because of his special relationship with the warden, which allowed him to stay on the top floor.

"for you."

Xue Fengyi stood expressionless at the door of the prison bully's room, holding a vial of inhibitor in his hand.

"I can give it to you, but in exchange, you have to do something for me in the future."

Looking down at him from his elevated position, the cold moonlight outside the prison poured down onto the ground and shone on the prison bully, who was in excruciating pain.

"Ha, I'm already in life imprisonment, what can I do for you? Do you expect me to help you grab points for missions?"

Seizing the opportunity, the prison bully suddenly reached out to try and snatch the inhibitor.

“Don’t know, but I do, because a long time ago I participated in a mission to wipe out space pirates and met you, Bai Xiao, the most powerful space pirate leader in history.”

When Prison Bully heard the name Bai Xiao, he froze for a moment, then looked up at the insect at the door and couldn't help but sneer.

"Interesting. Now that you know my identity, but with my current abilities, there's nothing I can do to help you."

"Don't speak too soon. The fact that you were able to hide here shows your ability. Besides, I'm not asking you to do it now. It's just a deal for the rest of your life."

Bai Xiao raised one corner of his mouth and stared at Xue Fengyi with great interest. He had underestimated this insignificant worm in front of him.

"I promise you, give it to me now."

Xue Fengyi inserted the inhibitor in his hand directly into Bai Xiao's neck and quickly pressed it down. As the pale green liquid slowly decreased, Bai Xiao's expression also became less painful.

Winter ended quickly. With sufficient inhibitors, casualties in this war were much lower than before. With Li Yizhou and his team's swift victory, the war was over in no time.

At the end of this year, just like last year, Chu Yang treated all the store's employees to a New Year's Eve dinner. He also announced an employee benefit: employees could get a free inhibitor application form from Chu Xinhang by showing their employee ID. With the application form, they could go to the hospital for a free injection of an inhibitor.

This benefit excited all the insects, who cheered enthusiastically. Before this, Chu Yang had specifically consulted with the dean to divide the weekly blood donation inhibitors in a 6:4 ratio, with the extra 10% going to the employees as a benefit.

Because Chu Yang frequently donates blood to the hospital, the old director and his team have once again met their targets this year, and a bonus has been specially approved by the higher authorities. Therefore, the old director has also granted Shen Nanxi two days of paid leave.

Chu Yang originally planned to have the New Year's Eve dinner with his family of four, but Wang Xingyu came over early in the morning with a lot of ingredients, saying that they should have the New Year's Eve dinner together, as more insects would make it more lively.

So on the evening of Lunar New Year's Eve, a lot of insects gathered at home again, and Chu Yang specially prepared hot pot, barbecue, and fried food suitable for children.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Wang Xingyu pulled out a bunch of small fireworks from somewhere.

"Haha, how can we celebrate the New Year without this?"

The four little ones surrounded him curiously, seeing fireworks for the first time.

"Here you go, bro, you set off the first firework."

Wang Xingyu handed a sparkler to Chu Yang and then lit it for him.

The moonlight outside was clear, and amidst everyone's exclamations, the sparklers slowly bloomed like dazzling stars in the sky. Watching the cold, white fireworks, Chu Yang's vision blurred for a moment as he recalled the events of the past year. Finally, he held the still-burning sparkler in his hand and placed it in Youyou's.

Holding him, she waved her sparkler with great joy, and the other insects around her also lit their own sparklers. Everyone gathered together, their faces beaming with smiles.

Seeing how happy they were, Chu Yang also smiled with satisfaction. Life was getting better day by day, and he had more and more friends around him. Looking up at the bright night sky, he silently made a wish in his heart, hoping that such days would last every day.

The first people to come knocking on our door in the new year were Li Hui and Wang Xingyu, a married couple. Why? Because the villas they had previously acquired weren't selling. Li Hui had invested in this project on behalf of Wang Xingyu, and now that the houses weren't selling, they would become even harder to sell over time.

"Brother Chu Yang, just cooperate with us to take some promotional photos and videos, and we'll give you a villa in return."

Wang Xingyu sat on the sofa, grabbed a chestnut from the fruit plate and started peeling it. He even gave the first one he peeled to Li Hui.

"It's not impossible, but I want to choose the set that's given to me myself, and then I'll put it in Youyou's name."

"Hehe, I knew you would agree, Brother Chu Yang."

Actually, it was Wang Xingyu who came up with this idea. When Li Hui complained to him that the villas here weren't selling, he asked a few questions. Unexpectedly, Li Hui said that the villas in this phase were where Chu Yang had worked before, so he had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.

To produce a high-quality promotional video, Li Hui specially invited a well-known director and filming team. The first day was for shooting solo photos of Chu Yang, which required changing into six different outfits, each with different props and themes.

The next two days were mainly spent filming inside the villa, including scenes of Chu Yang cooking in the kitchen, cleaning, and enjoying afternoon tea in the garden. The filming also included appearances of the entire family of four, presenting a harmonious and happy family scene.

After all the filming was completed, the director was very excited because Chu Yang looked even more handsome on camera than in real life, the visual impact was also very good, and all the filming was based on genuine emotions, so the filming process went very smoothly.

A few days later, promotional videos for the villa were broadcast extensively during prime time on Planet D06. Shen Nanxi and Chu Xinhang, the two insects, were glued to their televisions, watching the broadcasts precisely at the designated time.

"It's out, it's out, brother, come and see!"

The video shows Chu Yang chopping vegetables in the kitchen. His fluent knife skills, when accelerated slightly, even leave afterimages. Although his back is to the public, his bespoke suit still cleverly outlines his muscular physique.

With broad shoulders, a wasp waist, and mantis legs, he wore a black shirt paired with casual cargo pants and mid-calf lace-up high-top shoes. The sleeves on his arms were casually rolled up to his elbows. Just from the back, you could imagine how handsome his face must be from the front.

"Brother, you're so handsome."

"Mmm, just seeing the back of the male ruler makes my heart pound."

"Is he really that good? Although he is indeed quite handsome, you can't deny that the director did a great job. From the background music to the atmosphere, handsomeness is a feeling."

Chu Yang picked Youyou up from between the two of them, placed him on his lap, and took out a picture book for toddlers to show him.

The promotional video has been released, and the sales office's inquiry hotline has been overwhelmed. Despite the high volume of inquiries, the sales volume is also considerable, thanks to big data analysis.

Wow! The villa I bought was actually built by the male insect himself! Yay!

Wake up, don't be fooled. No male insect will ever work, especially not on a construction site.

[I can testify; it was my neighbor's distant relative who said it himself—they work on the same construction site.]

[It's true, I've heard about it too. The male insect in the video is indeed involved in this project.]

……

The video has generated an exceptionally high level of discussion, not only because it promotes the involvement of male insects in the construction, but also because of the warm and happy atmosphere it portrays.

Moreover, Chu Yang in the video is the dream male of countless female insects, gentle, handsome, and family-oriented; no amount of praise can adequately describe him.
