On the StarNet, everyone is holding their own opinions, and the argument is raging.

However, this had no impact on Cheng Chu and Mikel.

In the spacious walk-in closet, Mikel looked at the rows of neatly hung brand-new clothes in the wardrobe and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

On the day they registered their marriage, it was only after Elijah reminded her that Mikel should prepare necessities for the male insect at the villa.

Time was too short, so Mikel simply instructed Elijah to oversee the preparations. Elijah himself was a single female, how could he know what male insects liked? Later, in a report, he said that the clothes he prepared for Lord Chengchu were based on brands favored by male insects on the StarNet. For items he was unsure about, he simply bought the most expensive ones.

Elijah thought to himself, "Anyway, I checked on the StarNet, and it says that male insects prefer expensive ones."

Mikel suddenly realized that the male insect was wearing the same two or three outfits over and over again. All the other clothes in the wardrobe were untouched.

He guessed that the male insect might not like the clothes.

Having figured this out, Mikel prepared to buy the male insect a new set of clothes, this time letting the male insect choose according to his own wishes.

Cheng Chu was curled up on the sofa, engrossed in a puzzle game on his personal computer, and he was about to lose this round. It was Mikel who initially offered to teach him the game, saying it would help him learn the Zerg script.

Later, 0123 let slip that the game was specifically designed to help the little bug recognize words, so that it could also serve as a learning tool while playing the game.

After listening to the beginning, he stared at Mikel without saying a word. Mikel coughed a few times and turned his head away guiltily, not daring to look him in the eye.

However, it is clear that even the games that the little bug played were not much better for Cheng Chu at the beginning.

"Sorry, you lost. Try harder next time!"

The game is over, Cheng Chu lost.

Mikel found the list of the most popular clothing stores among male insects on the StarNet on his personal computer, scrolled to the top, and clicked on the first one. He sat down to Cheng Chu's right and let him choose: "Master, take a look at these two outfits, which one do you think looks better?"

Cheng Chu was in a bad mood after losing the game. He tossed his personal computer aside and turned to look at Mikel's personal computer screen.

To be honest, Cheng Chu himself always buys clothes in standard black, white, and gray, so he couldn't offer any advice. Therefore, it was difficult for him to choose which of the two outfits looked better.

However, the price tag on the clothes is indeed very attractive.

He said with great self-awareness, "My lady, I think they're all beautiful."

Just as Cheng Chu thought this answer was probably correct, he saw Mikel smiling as he added both pieces of clothing to his shopping cart: "Do you like them, Your Majesty? Then let's buy both of these. Now let's look at these next ones."

"Wait a minute, Queen." Cheng Chu realized that Mikel wanted to buy him clothes, so he quickly refused, "I don't want to buy any, I already have clothes."

The rows of new clothes in the walk-in closet were all bought for him by Mikel. When Cheng Chu first saw so many clothes, he felt that he might never be able to wear them all in his lifetime. Cheng Chu wasn't picky about what he wore; as long as it wasn't too flashy or overly bright, he was fine with it. He was used to being frugal, usually buying two cheap or discounted items and alternating between them until he couldn't wear them anymore before buying new ones.

There are so many clothes in my closet that I've never worn, it would be a waste to buy new ones.

He looked at the numbers marked on a pair of plain black pants—ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands—oh! Five-figure pants! He couldn't afford them!

Cheng Chu stopped Mikel's hand, which was about to slide down. "He's a penniless wretch! He doesn't deserve to wear pants that cost five figures."

"Queen, I'm not buying."

Mikel: "Why? Don't you like it, my lord?"

Cheng Chu: "Expensive!"

"It's alright, my lord, we can afford it."

"don't want!"

Despite Cheng Chu's strong refusal, Mikel couldn't resist the male insect's insistence, and the clothes were never bought.

Since that incident, Cheng Chu has been going to the garden at least three times a day.

Mikel noticed that the male insect had been acting strangely lately. He often saw him whispering to 0123, but would stop talking as soon as he saw Mikel. For the past few days, the male insect had been excitedly dragging 0123 to the garden as soon as he opened his eyes, three times a day. Mikel wondered where the male insect got all that energy; didn't he ever get tired?

In fact, Mikel knew perfectly well what the male insect was going to do. Only Cheng Chu thought that 0123, a robot, would really keep his secret. What he didn't know was that 0123 reported his situation to Mikel every day.

It turned out that on the night she failed to buy clothes, Mikel was washing up in the bathroom, while Cheng Chu, who had finished washing up early, was lying on the bed practicing chatting with 0123.

As they chatted, Cheng Chu asked, "0123, what do you think I could do? Work? Earn star coins?"

His wife is so rich; she can buy five-figure pants on a whim. He can't let himself look useless.

Cheng Chu felt he needed to find a way to earn money; he couldn't rely entirely on his wife. Initially, he considered growing flowers to sell, but the flowers he planted were still just seedlings, and it would take a long time for them to bloom. Therefore, he needed to think of other ways to make money.

But he couldn't figure out what he could do.

It's been about a month since Cheng Chu arrived here, and he has roughly learned about the preferential treatment given to male insects in the insect world; male insects don't have to work.

"Your Excellency, are you short of Star Coins?" 0123 blinked its two beady eyes on the screen in confusion, and said sincerely, "You can ask the general for as many Star Coins as you need. Male insects don't need to earn Star Coins themselves."

The 0123's CPU couldn't keep up. In its programming, male Zerglings were the most valuable species and didn't need to work. Besides, the male lord clearly had tons of Starcoins. It didn't understand why the male lord would suddenly want to earn more Starcoins.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let the female king hear you." Cheng Chu got up, pressed a hand on 0123's round, iron head, and glanced guiltily at the bathroom door. "No, that's his. Mine, I'll earn it myself."

"Tell me quickly, what do you think I, a male insect, can do to earn star coins?"

"Your Excellency, please don't worry, let me search first." 0123 started the search program and after a while said, "Your Excellency, 0123 has found it. There are three suitable ways for male insects to earn star coins: one is to directly ask the female lord for them, as satisfying the male lord's needs is the female lord's responsibility and obligation..."

Chengchu: "???"

Cheng Chu had a look on his face that said, "You're kidding me." He waved his hand and said, "Stop, that's enough."

0123 continued: "Secondly, he can marry several wealthy female servants. A male insect can marry one female ruler and four female servants..."

Chengchu: "!!!"

Cheng Chu seriously doubted whether all the male Zerglings got rich by marrying wives!

"Next one." Cheng Chu lay slumped on the bed, his voice weak and listless. He was defeated, truly defeated by the distorted society of the Zerg. He had given up all hope for this last method.

But then the mechanical voice of 0123 announced: "Thirdly, become a streamer. Streamers don't need to show their faces. Although streamers need to be verified with their real names, but..."

"What?" Cheng Chuyi sat up abruptly, unable to believe that the last task was such a serious one. "Repeat it again."

0123: "Okay, Your Majesty, I'll repeat myself. The third one is being a broadcaster on the StarNet."
