The two were chatting when suddenly a pleasant "ding dong" sound was heard outside the door.

Shi Ya looked surprised, but He Youjin was the first to react.

"Shit, it must be someone from the Alliance!"

Shi Ya uttered a soft "Ah": "Should I call them all out?"

"Hurry up, we must show enough sincerity!" He Youjin clenched his fist and vowed: "When you see them later, no matter how bad your mood is, you must keep smiling, showing only eight teeth! The voice must not exceed 65 decibels when speaking! You must leave a perfect impression in the other person's mind! Whoever dares not listen, I will--" He Youjin bent down and took out a broom handle from somewhere, put it in the palm of his hand and hit it hard a few times.

"......The way you say that makes us sound like ducks coming out of a brothel to pick up customers." Shi Ya was speechless: "Forget it, there is no duck as fat as Fire." After complaining, he turned around and called for help.

He Youjin also adjusted his attire and facial expression, then politely approached the base's main gate. Team P gradually gathered in the hall, each one displaying rare energy and spirit. Xia Tong, still a little nervous, tugged at Lin Mingfei's sleeve, earning a reassuring smile.

Two seconds later, they heard He Youjin's hysterical roar.

"Fang! Hao! Yang?? Why is it you, you bastard!!!"

Team P: “???”

Shi Ya's pupils trembled violently, and she questioned him rapidly, "What about the agreement that 'you must show sufficient sincerity, no matter how bad your mood is, and that you must keep smiling, showing only eight teeth, and that your voice must not exceed 65 decibels, and that you must leave a perfect impression on the other person'?"

Zhou Yanjun's focus was still normal. He tilted his head and asked, "Who is Fang Haoyang?"

Lin Mingfei lowered his head and pinched his chin, thinking, "Why does this name sound familiar to me... Ah!" He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his eyes sparkling, "I remember, Fang Haoyang was my junior high school classmate!"

"Your junior high school classmate?" the others asked in unison.

"Yes, he is also He Youjin's junior high school classmate." Lin Mingfei said with a slightly excited look on his face: "I know why He Youjin is so angry!" After that, he strode out of the door.

Outside the gate, He Youjin was glaring at the tall Alpha like an excited fighting cock. The Alpha was in his twenties, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and a well-fitting British-style trench coat, looking very elegant.

"Wow!" Xia Tong leaned against the door and exclaimed, "She's so pretty! She's worthy of being Zero's classmate!"

"I didn't realize you were such a little pervert. Your saliva is about to flow out." Shi Ya pinched Xia Tong's ear, feeling both amused and helpless.

Facing He Youjin's pointing fingers at his nose and cursing, Fang Haoyang remained very calm, with only the raised eyebrows showing his emotional fluctuations at the moment.

Lin Mingfei appeared outside the base gate, met Fang Haoyang's eyes, narrowed her eyes and greeted him, "Old Fang, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see." Fang Haoyang said.

He Youjin was half a head shorter than both of them, and he felt that the two Alphas' behavior of flirting with each other over his head was very arrogant and inhumane, which made his handsome face even more distorted.

"Sure enough! Alphas are not good guys! I would have to have a stroke to agree to work with a bunch of Alphas like you!!" He said gritting his teeth.

Lin Mingfei shrugged as if it were nothing new, showing no intention of getting involved in this old grudge. Fang Haoyang could only pinch the bridge of his nose helplessly. "He Youjin, how can you be so petty even at your age? I just stole your scholarship, didn't I? That happened years ago, and you're still holding a grudge against me?"

"What do you mean by 'I just stole your scholarship'?!" He Youjin's face turned from red to purple. "I'm out of 20,000 yuan! 20,000 yuan? Do you know what that means?"

"Does that mean you have to buy one less watch you like that month?" Fang Haoyang said softly.

He Youjin: "..."

Zhou Yanjun, who was watching from the sidelines, said: "...Damn, he really deserves a beating."

Shi Ya, who was also watching, said: "...well, an old Versailles person."

Bo Yu: "...I feel like Manager He wants to kill him."

As expected, He Youjin lunged forward with his fangs bared and claws bared: "Fang Haoyang, I'm going to kill you right now!!!"

At times like these, the height and physical strength advantages of being a secondary gender were exposed. Fang Haoyang easily stopped He Youjin's attack and said helplessly, "He Youjin, maybe 20,000 yuan is really important to you, but I knew nothing about what happened at the time. My dad made the decision on his own initiative to please the principal, and while I'm not happy about it at all, it certainly wasn't my decision."

"I believed your lies!" He Youjin roared.

"How about I transfer 20,000 yuan to you now?" Fang Haoyang said, "Oh, 20,000 yuan now is not the same as 20,000 yuan back then. I'll transfer 50,000 yuan to you."

“.........”

Zhou Yanjun, who was watching from the sidelines, said: "Holy crap! This guy is so enlightened!"

Shi Ya, who was also watching, said: "...Master Versailles."

Bo Yu: "Manager He looks like he's choking on a fallen denture..."

On the other side, He Youjin felt that all his hard work had gone into hitting something like cotton. The feeling of having no place to vent his anger was just like constipation, and he was about to explode with anger.

He pointed at Fang Haoyang's calm and self-assured handsome face and said viciously, "Who the hell cares about your dirty money!"

Fang Haoyang: "Then I apologize to you? I'm sorry, He Xueba."

He Youjin: "......"

Fang Haoyang: "What else do you need? Tell me?"

He Youjin: "...you are so spineless."

Fang Haoyang straightened his sleeves and said calmly, "Really? I don't think so."

The two seemed to be unable to continue fighting. Lin Mingfei crossed her arms and laughed, then went up to smooth things over.

"Okay, we are all old classmates. Meeting is fate. There is no need to be so cold to each other all the time," he said.

"Yes, yes!" Xia Tong over there couldn't help himself any longer. He loved being in a group and having fun, so he ran out happily, "Welcome to our Polaris - Ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, he successfully stepped his left foot on his right foot and fell into a perfect squat at the gate of Team P.

Everyone: “………!!”

In an instant, a group of people rushed out from the broken door, swarmed to Xia Tong, and helped him up.

"...This...is your team's new member?" Fang Haoyang stood still and gestured with his fingers at Xia Tong: "Are you sure his agility...is enough to play professional holographic esports?"

"I'm sure you have any objections?" He Youjin said coldly.

Fang Haoyang: “Oh.”

Xia Tong's fall was quite painful, but he remembered He Youjin's words and vowed to leave a good impression on the newcomer. So after being helped up, he forced a smile at Fang Haoyang: "Hello, my name is Xia Tong."

"Hello." Fang Haoyang nodded politely. "I'm Fang Haoyang from the Alliance Registration Office."

"He, Manager He, and I were all in the same class in junior high school," Lin Mingfei said. "He's a teacher's child, and Manager He is a top student. There was a bit of class conflict between the two."

Fang Haoyang sensed a hint of gloating in his expression and couldn't help but glance at him sideways, "Why don't you tell me who you are?"

"What is he?" Zhou Yanjun asked curiously.

"He was a school bully, the kind who was criticized in front of the whole school every day when the national flag was raised. Later, he skipped classes to fight in groups, and then skipped classes to play games. The teacher once thought that he had repented and turned to good, but it turned out that he had mania and became an internet addict. Internet addiction is also a disease." Fang Haoyang said coldly.

"I can prove that it is true," said He Youjin.

Lin Mingfei: “…Hehe.”

"Wow, your class is really full of talented people. They have a bright future." Shi Ya said, "As expected, the e-sports circle is a place where all the monsters gather."

Xia Tong looked left and right, and felt that the atmosphere of the conversation had softened a lot. She smiled and said, "Mr. Fang and Manager He seem to have a really good understanding!"

"Hmm?" Fang Haoyang squinted.

"I have a tacit understanding with him?" He Youjin laughed angrily, "You must be kidding!"

Xia Tong pointed and said, "Look, you two are wearing the same style of glasses! Is this called... oh, right, couple's glasses!"

“???” Fang Haoyang and He Youjin turned their heads in unison, “Nonsense!”

Xia Tong was stunned by the yelling. It took her a long time to let out a "嘤" sound, and she hurriedly hid behind Lin Mingfei.

Lin Mingfei hid Xia Tong behind her, with a forced smile: "Looking at the tacit understanding between the two of you, you are soul mates. Why don't you get married? You idiots!"

“…”

Bo Yu nudged Zhou Yanjun with his elbow and asked bewilderedly, "...What's going on now?"

"Now, let's have a 2v2 brawl." Zhou Yanjun pinched his chin and said solemnly.

"2v2? Who's against whom?" Bo Yu looked around. "Isn't it three against one?"

Zhou Yanjun put on a wooden face and pushed his head with his hand: "...Xiao Bo, you are so stupid that you make your brother feel sad."

Thanks to He Youjin, Fang Haoyang was finally able to enter the gate of Team P Club after being blown by the northwest wind at the door for half a day.

He Youjin was still cursing along the way, questioning Fang Haoyang whether he had known it was him and was deliberately trying to intimidate him. Fang Haoyang was too lazy to explain. In short, he just said, "If you curse me, I will apologize to you." This made He Youjin feel uncomfortable.

Lin Mingfei took Fang Haoyang to visit the facilities of the base, while Xia Tong and Shi Ya sat on the sofa in the living room.

Xia Tong pouted her lips as she pondered life. Shi Ya lowered her head and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Xia Tong muttered "emmm" for a while, then looked at Fang Haoyang's back and whispered, "Manager He has been mad, but Mr. Fang has remained calm. He seems to have a good temper, but I always feel that Mr. Fang is a little dangerous. It's so strange."

"It's not your illusion." Shi Ya said, "Xia Xiaotong has become smarter."

Xia Tong's eyebrows were wrinkled into a ball.

"What if he doesn't agree to my joining the alliance? After all, I just fell in front of him, and I didn't look very smart."

"If he doesn't agree to you joining the alliance, I'm going to kill him!" He Youjin, breathing heavily, put his hands on his hips, like a firecracker about to explode. "I'm going to die with this bastard."

Upstairs, after Fang Haoyang and Lin Mingfei finished touring their second-floor training room, he stopped moving. He crossed his arms and said, "Alright, I don't need to look at anything else. The layout of your team bases is pretty much the same. In my opinion, there are no major problems, nor are there any major advantages."

"We just need a stepping stone to return to the game. You just have to wait and see whether we will have any advantages later." Lin Mingfei said.

"An Omega competing against a group of Alphas in a holographic esports arena, do you think this is scientific?" Fang Haoyang said, "I even think it's a bit ridiculous, especially after seeing the true appearance of this little Omega brother on your team."

Before Fang Haoyang came, he tried to imagine the Omega boy that He Youkou had mentioned.

Even though they're Omegas, their frames might not be as tall and muscular as Alpha's, but they definitely have a body of specially trained muscles that rivals Alpha's. They walk like dragons and tigers, and they're incredibly powerful! Otherwise, where would they get the courage to play holographic esports with Alpha?

A picture of a muscular dwarf Omega slowly took shape in Fang Haoyang's mind. Those massive biceps and quadriceps on that slender figure...ah...it was so creepy just thinking about it!

Until Fang Haoyang saw this little Omega fall down in front of him.

After raising her face, Fang Haoyang's first impression was - exquisite.

This little Omega boy is so delicate. He is not tall, with a small frame, fair skin, big eyes, a small and delicate nose and mouth, and a pink and tender complexion. His chestnut hair is just the right shade.

He fell down obviously quite hard, and his mouth subconsciously flattened - that was a sign of crying, but he forced himself to hold it back, and then quickly recovered his innocent look, all his reactions were delicate but not artificial.

This little girl is such a beauty, should she be filming an idol drama? Or playing e-sports? Would she be comfortable hanging out with a bunch of rough guys?

Fang Haoyang found it incomprehensible, and he didn't think Xia Tong could achieve anything positive as a professional player.

Faced with his questioning, Lin Mingfei said nothing, but just leaned against the wall leisurely.

"Aren't you going to struggle anymore?" Fang Haoyang was a little puzzled.

"I think it's better to let the person involved tell you in person." Lin Mingfei poked him on the back with her index finger.

Fang Haoyang was slightly stunned. He turned his head and saw that the little Omega had appeared silently behind him at some point, staring at him with his big black and white eyes.

"Oh my god, there's a ghost behind you." Fang Haoyang was successfully scared and took a step back.

Xia Tong put her hands behind her back, puffed out her chest, and said seriously, "You're such a weird person! You haven't even seen me fight Wang Ling, so why do you say it's ridiculous for me to be a professional?"

"Then how can you prove that becoming a professional player is the right choice?" Fang Haoyang thought he was very interesting and asked back with his arms folded.

"Aren't the reasons you guys are in professional esports to show the audience exciting and valuable matches?" Xia Tong said, "Then let me ask you, which do you think is more exciting: Alpha defeating Alpha or Omega defeating Alpha?"

Fang Haoyang was slightly stunned.

"You asked me," he said. "Of course, the process of Omega defeating Alpha is more interesting."

"Right!" Xia Tong stretched her little neck.

"But can Omega really defeat Alpha?" Fang Haoyang asked.

"Why not?"

"Whoever makes the assumption must provide evidence, otherwise it will be a false proposition." Fang Haoyang said politely but seriously.

"But if you don't give me a chance, how can I prove it?" Xia Tong was not afraid of him. Her eyes were shining, as if stars were twinkling in them.

Fang Haoyang took a deep breath and asked with interest, "If I really don't give it to you, what are you going to do?"

"Then I will... tell Manager He!" Xia Tong said with a smile.

Fang Haoyang: “?”

Xia Tong tilted her head, narrowing her big eyes slightly, revealing a hint of cunning: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Manager He?"

Fang Haoyang was speechless for a moment: "I..."

Xia Tong smiled harmlessly, and spoke gently, yet with a hint of pressure, "Don't you care about Manager He's feelings at all?"

Fang Haoyang didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and tugged at his collar awkwardly.

Xia Tong was not in a hurry, so she just waited for his response obediently, and occasionally exchanged glances with Lin Mingfei next to her.

After a long pause, Fang Haoyang finally spoke, "Since you've come this far, if I don't give you a chance it would seem like I'm here to cause trouble. So, how about this? Find a professional team to practice with. If you can win, I'll approve your registration."

"That's great!" Xia Tong clapped her hands.

Fang Haoyang glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Of course, it has to be a team that participated in the previous league. Don't try to arrange a match with any idiot team."

"No way!" Xia Tong said happily; "Right, ZERO!"

"Yes, that's right." Lin Mingfei nodded and smiled: "Our client always keeps his word."

Fang Haoyang sighed imperceptibly and shrugged, "Will your Manager He still hold a grudge against me after this?"

"He definitely won't do that!" Xia Tong nodded vigorously.

Fang Haoyang chuckled softly and turned to go downstairs.

When He Youjin saw Fang Haoyang coming down from upstairs, he immediately went into defense mode again.

Fang Haoyang took the initiative to smile at him, his expression still calm and free, "I'll invite you to dinner when I'm free." After that, he strode out of the P team's base.

He Youjin: "??? What are you talking about! What do you mean by "invite me to dinner when you're free"? I'm not free, okay?" He shouted angrily outside the base, then turned to look at Xia Tong: "What do you mean?"

"Thanks to Manager He, it's great!" Xia Tong smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

He Youjin was completely bewildered: "Thanks to me?"

Lin Mingfei walked to Xia Tong and gently pinched her waist. The little OMega was ticklish and hummed and moved away.

"Ouch."

"Hey." Lin Mingfei put one hand in her pocket, bent down and whispered, "How did you find Fang Haoyang's weakness?"

"Huh? So this is a weakness?" Xia Tong looked up at him and asked in confusion.

"In fact, he was planning to reject me directly at the beginning." Lin Mingfei coaxed him with a smile: "Thanks to your cleverness, you successfully turned the situation around."

"Oh, no." Xia Tong blushed, scratching her head with a silly smile. "I just kept thinking, what of the things we said today couldn't be explained over the phone? Mr. Fang obviously didn't have to come here! But he came anyway, so I think there must be a reason why he flew here! The rest... is just intuition!"

Lin Mingfei looked at him with a bit more surprise and amusement: "You have become so..."

"What's going on?" Xia Tong said excitedly, "Have I become much smarter?"

"Yes." Lin Mingfei remained noncommittal and smiled, "When did it evolve? I didn't even notice it."

"Emmm." Xia Tong stretched out her index finger and tapped her chin. After thinking seriously for a while, she replied, "Probably when I was with Timer!"

Lin Mingfei: “.”

The smile gradually disappears.jpg

Xia Tong was still immersed in the ecstasy of becoming smarter, and it took her a long time to notice that Lin Mingfei's face was gloomy. "Zero, what's wrong with you?" He leaned over, raised his bright little face, and asked with concern.

Lin Mingfei drooped her eyelids, feeling unhappy. Her tone was flat and lifeless: "Guess what's wrong with me."

If you guess right, I won't be angry.

Lin Mingfei said this in her heart, solemnly.

So Xia Tong pinched her chin and said "emmmm" for a long time, thinking very seriously and hard.

Zero went out for morning exercise with Timer and the others early this morning and only just returned. After returning, he didn't even have time to rest before talking to me. Then Fang Haoyang came again. Timer seemed to have mentioned this morning that Zero stayed up late last night and didn't sleep well...

"Ah! I get it!" Xia Tong suddenly had an idea and trotted into the kitchen.

Lin Mingfei: “?”

A moment later, Xia Tong ran back to him, holding a mug filled with freshly ground coffee. "Brother, you're very sleepy, aren't you?" He said sincerely, "Drink some coffee to wake you up!"

Lin Mingfei: “............”

It seems that he is even angrier than before.

The author has something to say: Straight men: Drink more hot water.

Xia Tong: Drink more coffee!
