Chapter 6: Hit! Hit! A fascinating moment of journalism...

The outside world has always had some stereotypes.

When Wei Yian, a Beta, single-handedly crushed many Alphas and achieved unprecedented feats, people naturally believed that this lieutenant general must have a physique beyond that of an ordinary person.

The image of a steel warrior with a broad back, strong build, and even better than A comes to mind, as if only such an appearance can match his glorious military exploits.

But the young man in the photo had eyes like bright stars, eyes like black dots, and even a somewhat frail figure. Putting aside his handsome appearance, even from the perspective of aesthetic diversity, this physique was inconsistent with the image of the iron-blooded god of war who massacred 39 stars on the border as described in the report.

Hey everyone, have you seen this? Photos of the "Guang Yi Star" have been revealed, and wow, it's beyond imagination!

"Yeah! That photo looks... well, how should I put it? It's so different from what I imagined, isn't it?"

This physique doesn't match the image of a muscular man tearing bugs apart in reports! But I heard Wei Yian has pheromone disorder syndrome? Maybe there's some kind of bonus.

[Hiss—aesthetics are so diverse now, and ability can't just be judged by appearance.]

[Why would you apply for a match when you look like this? Even if you're a Beta, you can easily attract a partner, right? I wonder who will win the "beauty" in the end...]

[……]

In the discussion around the fire, there were occasional harsh noises, and a small group of people questioned in a sarcastic tone:

[No, am I the only one who thinks this is off? His arms aren't even as thick as a regular Alpha like me! Haha, I swear based on my ten years of weightlifting experience, this guy is just some fake idol.]

"Betas don't have glands, so how can there be pheromone disorder syndrome? This is hilarious! Even if they want to use system matching, they can't do that, right?"

[Plus one, he looks like an Omega. Maybe that second-generation Alpha discovered something and called him that... After all, there's no smoke without fire!]

A virtual war of words is about to begin. Those keyboard warriors who are trying to fan the flames and create chaos, as well as those who just want to watch the fun and join in the fun, are unexpectedly faced with a collective beating from netizens.

[Wandering around, wandering around! If you have nothing to do after eating, go plow two acres of land. I'll starve you for two days and you'll behave!]

"Your fists, as big as sandbags, are only good for hitting the keyboard. If you were truly a complete idiot on the battlefield, would the Zerg support you?"

[It's already been said that this is an idiopathic rare disease. This is the diagnosis report from the Alzheimer's Military District Hospital. How can a nitpicker still diagnose the disease without any evidence?]

[Le, what's wrong with looking like an Omega? A bunch of idiots are questioning the Imperial Vice Admiral! Tsk tsk, they're starting to break down when they're outshined by a Beta~]

…

[Stop arguing, stop arguing! Online trolling won't kill you, go check the latest headlines! Oh my god, they really kill with their eyes!]

After clicking on the link, the picture unfolded with a violent shaking. The camera robot was thrown out by a hand, and the view was suddenly zoomed in, hitting the face of the person who came directly.

Wei Yian's face appeared in the center of the camera.

"Lieutenant General! Lieutenant General Wei!" the reporter's voice was sharp and urgent, almost penetrating the camera. "What do you think of Mr. Zhao Yiheng's high-profile confession? Do you really have pheromone disorder syndrome?"

Wei Yian's response was brief and cold: "Excuse me."

However, the reporter didn't give up and tried to take another step forward. "Now the online public opinion is saying that you have extremely bad relationships and that's why you chose the system match. Is this true?"

He secretly released a trace of pheromone in an attempt to suppress the Beta's aura. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's someone here!" You Zheng's voice suddenly interrupted with a hint of anger. "Whose reporter are you? How can you be so ignorant of the rules?"

The reporter's gaze flickered between the two men, then turned to Wei Yian: "Is Mr. You your lover? How compatible are you? Does this mean that the Fourth Army has chosen to side with the You family and become enemies of the Zhao family? Lieutenant General Wei, please speak!"

Alpha's expression became even more unscrupulous, and it was clear that he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

You Zheng was almost laughing out of anger: "I say..."

"vomit."

In the video, the cold voice is extremely clear.

The world seemed quiet.

The reporter's face turned pale and blue, and he was obviously a little embarrassed and angry at this sudden reaction: "Even if you are a lieutenant general, you can't insult me ​​like this! I thought you were a general..."

"Take it back," Wei Yian exhaled and said coldly, "Are you provoking me?"

Facing those sharp grey eyes, the reporter's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. In a panic, he tried to quibble:

"I'm just a little emotional. Even if you don't want to answer, you don't have to—"

Before he finished speaking, a swift black shadow passed by and the camera robot fell to the ground. The picture instantly became chaotic, with noise and shaking lens intertwined.

The reporter was first stunned, then ecstatic. He stiffened his neck and shouted, "Even a lieutenant general can't hit people, right? You..."

You Zheng, however, gloated, "Sorry, but now the whole empire knows I have pheromone disorder syndrome. What you're doing is sexual harassment. You're just asking for trouble."

He immediately covered his nose and said, "No, buddy, you are a biological weapon, right? Your pheromones are so pungent..."

The last thing captured by the camera robot's lens was a pair of inorganic, cold gray eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a military boot fell without hesitation, the camera lens shattered under the heavy pressure, and the picture was instantly swallowed by darkness, leaving only silence and stillness.

This scene quickly became a hot topic throughout the empire:

[No, anyone can be a reporter now? This is too embarrassing!]

[Ah, just a journalism glamour moment.]

"What a disgusting Alpha! You're a repeat offender! If you're that capable, why don't you just go out on the battlefield and disgust the Zerg? What's the point of using pheromones to bully Betas?"

[Uh… you call this a 'Beta'?! Who's bullying whom? But mental damage and physical discomfort count, too…]

[Hmm… why doesn’t it count?]

[Now, no one should have any objections to Lieutenant General Wei's strength. He blew up a titanium robot with one punch. With that kind of explosive power and precision, I really believe he could tear apart a Zerg with his bare hands.]

[There wasn't any, alright? Do you think that reporter dared to get too close? Those who pick on me know their own limits and only dare to do things in secret. A head-on confrontation would be a deadly blow!]

[Studying Journalism ~ We journalists are like this ~]

[By the way, does anyone know what desolate planet he came from? What did he eat to grow up? Does he have any brothers or sisters? Don't get me wrong, I'm asking for my friend.]

[Ahhhhh, these leather gloves, these high-top combat boots, why did you reward him, Lieutenant General?! Step on mine!]

[Hey everyone upstairs, take note! They clearly have an Alpha. Tsk tsk, the first star is about to change...]

[……]

This Star Network war was eventually ended with official harmony and rectification, and the journalists' inappropriate behavior was also severely criticized.

But this incident undoubtedly pushed Wei Yinan to the climax of discussion again, and a new round of heated discussions began on the Starnet Forum.

Soon, someone broke the news and questioned that the military was isolating Beta, withholding the salary of lieutenant general, secretly suppressing "Guang Yi Star", etc. Each of these charges was enough to kill someone.

The military was also in a state of distress. They thought, how dare we isolate this living father? It was clearly him who was single-handedly using his power to coldly bully us!

In fact, Wei Yian's appearance upon joining the army was even more dismal, the look of a dying refugee. As soon as he began to make a name for himself, the logistics department began preparing nutritional supplements specifically for him. This time, the marshal even assigned someone to oversee his appearance, insisting it was crucial that he get it right before returning to the star, lest he be accused of mistreating the soldiers.

But no one believed this, so the military could only start another round of humanitarian care behavior, trying its best to show respect for Wei Yinan, but the person involved declined the offer.

But no matter what, Wei Yian's popularity on Star Network has soared, and he has become more noticeable.

…

Elz, Central District, Army Headquarters.

[Congratulations to the host! The progress of the survival mission in another world has reached 69%! Only 6% away from rank B!]

Wei Yian was buried in a mountain of work documents. This important lieutenant general at the group army headquarters was currently multitasking. Listening to the cheers from the system, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought:

It actually increased by 3%, and most of it was admiration value... This is different from the original plan.

His original strategy was to first present himself as arrogant, aloof and rude, allowing rumors to spread first and then fake his death under the guise of post-war trauma such as pheromone disorder syndrome, and through the hidden clues buried in the first star, he could directly reverse the society's evaluation of him in one step.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. The sudden appearance of "Mr. Zhao" and the intervention of reporters make the situation become confusing...

While thinking, Wei Yian tapped the table subconsciously. The silver ring on his finger flickered in the light, attracting Fang Su's attention.

As an adjutant, Fang Su had never seen Wei Yian wearing any jewelry in all these years. He couldn't help but wonder: When did the lieutenant general get this ring? It's obviously not his style, and he wears it on his middle finger...

Fang Su felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but feel the bitterness rising in his mouth.

Ever since his last slip of the tongue, he felt the distance between him and the lieutenant general gradually widened, and it became increasingly difficult for him to get close to his superior's daily life...

"Fang Su, clear my schedule for tomorrow night." Wei Yinan interrupted his thoughts.

"yes!"

Fang Su responded subconsciously at first, but hesitated before he finished speaking, "Tomorrow night... Councillor Zhao has made an appointment with you, I'm afraid..."

"Just an apology. It won't take long. Book me the next room."

Fang Su hesitated to speak: The invitation was sent through the Marshal's connections, and the location was chosen in Verona. It is obvious that this Young Master Zhao is not here to discuss business, and he definitely has ulterior motives!

But the lieutenant general's orders were not to be questioned, and as an adjutant, his duty was to carry them out.

The next day, in the Verona restaurant, Wei Yian fell strangely silent as he watched the ambiguous atmosphere created by the interweaving of scented candles and roses.

…

Small Theater:

Wei Yian: You people from First Star really know how to have fun...
