Chapter 24: Reverse V Begins

Ji Xia heard cheerful voices and laughter in a daze. The voices were soft, crisp and pleasant, very nice to hear.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a moment, he struggled to open his eyes. The stimulation of the drugs made his head ache severely. He frowned, paused for a moment, and after focusing his vision, he slowly sat up.

"You're awake!"

A sweet voice sounded, and Ji Xia looked in the direction of the voice and saw a sweet-looking Omega sitting on the bed opposite him.

The Omega, who was eating small pieces of cantaloupe with a fork, gave him a sweet smile and said in a familiar voice, "I saw you sleeping when I got here. I couldn't wake you up. It's already afternoon, and the event is about to start. You should go get something to eat."

Ji Xia looked at him blankly for a while, then glanced around blankly.

It was a small room, furnished with four one-meter beds. Two equally young and beautiful Omegas sat on each of the other two. Between applying their makeup, they both cast curious glances at Ji Xia.

Ji Xia struggled to recall what happened before he fainted. He looked slightly panicked and asked, "Where is this? Who are you?"

His voice was hoarse, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.

The sweet Omega said, "Have you fallen asleep? This is the Royal Mona Lisa! Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Le, and I'm a stylist. You can call me Lele. His name is Zhang Yi, and he's a bartender. His name is Wen He, and he plays music. What about you?"

Ji Xia felt that the name Royal Mona Lisa was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

He had just woken up, his mind was still dazed and his thinking ability was insufficient. When Xu Le interrupted him, he was distracted and introduced himself: "My name is Ji Xia, I am..." He paused, "I make bakers."

Xu Le, a lively man, looked Ji Xia up and down with an open gaze. He said cheerfully, "Xia Xia, I can't believe you're a baker. I even told Wen He that you must be a painter. You look like an artist. So, tell me, who's your target tonight?"

Ji Xia's head was still aching. He raised his hand to rub his temples and asked in confusion, "What's the goal?"

Xu Le felt that Ji Xia didn't want to tell him, but seeing that Ji Xia's expression was so genuine and didn't seem fake, he explained, "Alpha! Isn't the purpose of us getting on board to hook up with a powerful Alpha and become a phoenix on the tree? My target is President Jiao. I've done some research, and President Jiao is very generous to my lover. If I can keep him company for a few years, I'll never have to worry about food and clothing in this life."

Zhang Yi, who was painting his eyebrows nearby, suddenly snorted and said, "Don't be so naive. Even among the 188 elite Alphas on board, Jiao Mubai is one of the top ones. I advise you not to daydream."

Xu Le didn't care about what he said at all. He spent a huge amount of money to get on the ship just to dream. Since it was all a dream, why not dream a big one?

He asked in return, "Who is Brother Yi's target then? Could it be Mr. Fu, who is at the level 3 S? Ji Xia, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so grim?"

When Ji Xia heard the name Jiao Mubai, his already pale face turned even paler, looking as ugly as dust.

He was not unfamiliar with the name Jiao Mubai. In his dreams, he tried countless times and finally escaped from Chao Fei's house one night.

After fainting on a certain road, he was taken in by a kind-hearted Beta lady. However, after recovering from his injuries, he was sold to an underground auction house, where he was bought by Jiao Mubai.

Jiao Mubai has many Omegas and likes various cosplays. He requires the Omegas to change into different styles every day.

If the image that comes out is to his liking, he will torture him severely. If it is not to his liking, he will be punished and locked up in a small dark room where he can hear nothing and see nothing.

It was a very scary experience that would drive a person crazy.

Ji Xia felt heavy in his heart, as he was indeed dragged back into the plot.

His body trembled slightly, but he still tried to think of a solution with his slow brain. After a moment, he frantically searched his body, but found nothing. He looked up at the Omega across from him and asked, "Do you have a cell phone? Can you lend it to me? I need to make a call."

Fortunately, he memorized Mr. Fu's phone number. As long as he could contact Mr. Fu, he still had hope.

Xu Le looked at him in surprise and said, "Xia Xia, you didn't fall asleep and someone stuffed you onto the ship, did you? Electronic devices are not allowed on the Royal Mona Lisa. There are only intercoms here."

Ji Xia's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't contact Mr. Fu, which meant he couldn't escape. He would be drawn into the plot and eventually be disfigured and die on the street.

Wen He put the tools back into her makeup box and continued what Xu Le had just said, "Based on my experience, although Fu Yuan is difficult to deal with, if you can get him, then no matter his Omega status or identity, he will definitely be the first wife. If he gives birth to a child for the Fu family, then he will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Xu Le held his little face in his hands, revealing a fascinated look. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "I heard that the Fu family and the Qiu family have never had any contact with each other and their relationship is very strained."

Wenhe: "But the heir of the Qiu family is still Mr. Fu. If there is a child of Mr. Fu, the property of both the Fu and Qiu families will belong to the child."

Zhang Yi poured cold water on them. "You're so naive. Do you know how many Omegas are on board? Do you know how many Omegas are participating in tonight's event? The two you're talking about are both top-tier, especially Fu Yuan. He's not something you can even dream of. This is my second time on board, and I'm sharing some experience with you. Don't set any goals; as long as you can reach any of the 188, you'll be a winner, understand..."

Ji Xia suddenly raised her voice and interrupted him, asking, "Is Mr. Fu here too?"

Zhang Yi glanced at the pale Omega speechlessly, thinking he didn't understand what he was saying. He taunted him, "Why? Is your target Fu Yuan too?"

Ji Xia didn't understand what they were talking about. He only knew that Mr. Fu was also on the boat, and that he could still be saved. He nodded vigorously.

As long as he could get to Mr. Fu, he could get rid of Jiao Mubai.

Zhang Yi said unhappily, "You do have some looks, but in your current state, there are many Omegas who dress better than you. Do you think Fu Yuan is blind? That he would fall for you?"

After hearing this, Ji Xia pursed his lips. He had forgotten that Mr. Fu hated him and didn't know whether Mr. Fu was still willing to take him away.

Xu Le bit the cantaloupe and felt that what Zhang Yi said was right.

He agreed, "Indeed, for people of our status, if we can just marry one out of 188, we won't have to worry about the rest of our lives. Xia Xia, we can't hang ourselves on a tree."

Ji Xia shook her head firmly. "No, it can only be Mr. Fu."

Zhang Yi had never seen anyone so confused, and didn't want to say anything more, so he continued to put on his makeup.

Wenhe stood up from the bed, stretched out his arms, and said, "Ji Xia, I think they're right. The boat ticket is so expensive, we can't waste it. A colleague of mine went on the boat in the first half of the year and was spotted by an Alpha. He kept her by his side for six months and made over seven million. People like us will never make that much money in our lifetime. We can't waste such a good opportunity."

Xu Le also echoed, "Forget about someone like Fu Yuan. It's extremely difficult. I heard there's never been an Omega around him. Even those upper-class young masters and young ladies don't have a chance. People like us should not dream of it. Otherwise, we'll come here for nothing."

Ji Xia certainly knew it was difficult, but it had to be Mr. Fu.

He said, "Thank you. But I won't consider anyone else except Mr. Fu."

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that this Omega must be mentally ill. He talked as if all the other Alphas were chasing him. How shameless he was.

Xu Le also thought that Ji Xia might have slept too long and become stupid. But it was someone else's choice and none of his business, so he didn't say anything more.

Wenhe looked Ji Xia up and down for a while and thought, look closely, this Omega does have outstanding looks, but his complexion is too bad. Without any decoration, it would be difficult for him to defeat other Omegas.

He thought about it and decided that having more friends wouldn't be a bad thing. If one of them really hooked up with a big shot, he might even be able to rise to the top. So he said, "Ji Xia, you look so pale. Let me put some makeup on you. This might improve your chances."

Ji Xia shook her head and said, "Thank you, but don't bother. This is all I need."

Wen He felt that he was a little too confident, so he gave up the idea of ​​getting close to Ji Xia.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Wenhe, who was closest to him, went over to open the door.

A man in a black suit stood outside the door, reminding them that time was up and they should hurry down to the seventh floor to prepare.

Ji Xia learned from their conversation that they were about to attend an event, and that Mr. Fu would also be leaving. Without packing anything, he stood up and followed Xu Le, who was the first to leave, out of the room.

They just arrived at the elevator entrance and the elevator opened. Xu Le was the first to go in, followed by Ji Xia. Zhang Yi and Wen He squeezed in almost at the same time.

After they squeezed in, the already packed elevator issued a shrill alarm, and the cold e-cigarette announced the overweight artist.

Almost every Omega in the elevator turned their gazes towards Zhang Yi and Wen He. Zhang Yi, this being his second time aboard, knew the importance of reaching the seventh floor first. He raised his hand to push Wen He. "You're just one step behind me. Wait for the next one."

Wenhe of course refused, and the two started struggling in the already cramped elevator. The other Omegas complained and demanded that the two get off at the same time.

Just when the noise was getting out of hand, Ji Xia walked out of the elevator and the harsh sound stopped.

Zhang Yi and Wen He turned their heads away at the same time and didn't look at Ji Xia.

Xu Le was a little anxious. Although he and Ji Xia had only exchanged a few words and were not familiar with each other, they lived in the same room after all, and they still had seven days to spend together. Due to his personality, he couldn't just leave her alone like that, not to mention that Ji Xia didn't look very well.

Just as the elevator door was about to slowly close, Xu Le suddenly reached out, opened the door, and walked out.

He said, "It's too crowded. I'll wait for next time."

Ji Xia nodded at him.

After that, the elevator door opened twice, but it was full both times, so they had to continue waiting.

Xu Le suddenly said, "I've spent all my savings to get on the boat. If I get nothing, I'll be broke."

Ji Xia said, "I can give you some bread."

Xu Le laughed, but it was obviously forced. He said, "Okay, it's settled. I'll bankrupt you when the time comes."

Ji Xia looked at him in horror. "After buying the electric donkey, I only have enough money left to buy ingredients. I can't give you too much bread. Wait until I earn more..."

Xu Le then burst into laughter. "Xia Xia, you're so cute."

The two waited for nearly half an hour before entering the elevator, which was empty. Soon, the elevator door slowly opened on the seventh floor.

The seventh floor is a large and luxuriously decorated dressing room. The Omegas who arrived earlier have already chosen their clothes and accessories and are busy getting dressed.

Most of the clothes and accessories on the hangers and in the cabinets had been snatched away, leaving only a few pieces to choose from. The few people who arrived late almost pounced on them directly.

Before Ji Xia could react, Xu Le grabbed his arm and pulled him over, and they both grabbed a set.

Ji Xia discovered that the suit he had snatched had a hole in it, apparently cut open with scissors. Several other people's clothes also had damage, but Ji Xia's suit was the least damaged.

The eyes of several Omegas were red, but there was nothing they could do but to bite the bullet and change.

Ji Xia saw Xu Le standing there motionless. When he walked over, he found that Xu Le was crying. The suit he had snatched was torn into pieces and he couldn't even wear it.

Ji Xia took the suit from him and gave him hers. "You wear this."

Xu Le's nose turned red as he asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Ji Xia said: "Don't worry about me, I have a way."

At this time, a man in a suit appeared at the door and urged Omega to enter the venue quickly.

Ji Xia pushed Xu Le and said, "Go quickly."

He also entered another dressing room with his torn clothes.

Ji Xia sat on a low stool in the dressing room and asked the system: "Tong, do you have any way to repair this suit?"

"I'm sorry, host. Tong doesn't have the ability to repair it. But Tong can look for similar outfits in the closet."

Ji Xia: "Okay. Find something similar. Not too eye-catching, a little gray, not too fancy. Something professional-oriented."

"receive."

"Scanning type..."

"Scan successful. Enter keywords 'Forest Lord, Elf King, Magic, Professional, Simple, Low-key'... A suitable outfit has been found. Wardrobe opening, 15-minute countdown."
