An Alpha being allergic to Omega pheromones is an absolute joke.

Wen Xihe went to get tested, and the results showed that everything was normal. He was not allergic to Omega pheromones, and the nausea was mostly psychological.

The school doctor was not surprised by this.

“Some Omegas are also disgusted by Alpha pheromones,” he said knowledgeably. “This is quite normal.”

Wen Xi thought for a while, nodded, and left the school hospital.

It wasn't until later, during Cen Yu's most vulnerable period, that he smelled the other person's pheromones again, along with that irritating citrus scent, and finally understood something—

What he hated wasn't Omega pheromones, but the fact that Cen Yu was already an Omega.

What he found even more repulsive was Cen Yu's overly frivolous attitude.

Anyway, they won't have any contact in the future. After graduation, he will join the Fifth Legion. As for Cen Yu... Wen Xihe doesn't think he can pass the Legion's assessment. Maybe he will become a rich second-generation who lives a life of leisure in Xingdu and live happily with his citrus-scented Omega.

It was an outcome that could be foreseen, and Wen Xihe was not surprised.

"Cen Yu and Lan Yao aren't here?" Wen Xihe didn't know why, but she still wanted to check on Cen Yu's condition.

In his memory, when his pheromones erupted, the nauseating expression on the other person's face didn't seem fake.

Sang Huaizhou shrugged. "I don't know."

He looked at Wen Xihe, "You're looking for Cen Yu?"

Getting Wen Xi to admit that he cared about Cen Yu was a very difficult thing... Looking at the expression on Sang Huaizhou's face, perhaps feeling that the other party was not the kind of boring person who would make fun of him about this, he finally relented.

“At that time,” Wen Xihe said, emphasizing each word, “he didn’t look very well.”

It took Sang Huaizhou a while to understand what Wen Xihe meant... He looked up at Wen Xihe, who was still wearing the bite stopper on his face, and said, "He's alright. He doesn't seem to be too affected."

"At least he helped run errands for the student council."

Wen Xihe certainly remembered the punishment Cen Yu received, and he recalled the Beta that Li Chonghe had mentioned.

He was thoroughly annoyed by the roundabout way these aristocratic youths spoke, so he nodded, indicating that he understood and would return to his room.

Sang Huaizhou tossed him a bottle of pheromone-blocking spray. "Here you go."

Wen Xihe accepted it, saying, "Thank you."

Sang Huaizhou waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to worry about it.

...

Cen Yu was unaware that Wen Xi had already returned to the dormitory.

He's taking advantage of his free time to practice extra!

Just kidding, he'll be participating in the school's competition soon... He doesn't want to be humiliated by being forced to drop out before even finishing the storyline. What's the difference between that and playing a dating sim and ending up with a bad ending by dating sim with your best friend?

The training grounds on campus are divided into two modes: one is a simulated combat exercise conducted in a simulated mech cabin and connected to the system.

Another option is to engage in anonymous duels on a dedicated arena within the school.

Of course, Cen Yu couldn't choose to fight with real guns and bullets from the start... so he conservatively chose the holographic simulation combat competition first.

The simulated competitive game has three modes—

Single-player training, intra-school online multiplayer, and StarNet random.

StarNet's randomness can not only randomly select top experts from the Empire, but also potentially randomize members of the Federation army.

Cen Yu changed into loose training clothes and stepped into the simulated mecha cabin.

After putting on the corresponding equipment... Cen Yu opened her eyes again and found herself in a ruin.

[This is a realistic post-apocalyptic scenario.] The system appeared in Cen Yu's mind at this moment.

Cen Yu remembers that she chose individual training.

In the mode he chose, he could not only select realistic mecha models, but also choose some maps.

"Where is this?" He remembered that he had chosen the post-apocalyptic map.

He chose the standard mech AII-32, which is also a standard mech commonly used in school training. It is 15 meters tall... He turned his gaze and saw the collapsed high-rise buildings around him, as well as the strange insects that appeared sporadically.

[A simulated scene of old Earth.] The system said, [Host, that's the Zerg.]

Cen Yu glanced at the nearly 4 or 5-meter-long insect... and suddenly felt as if he had megalophobia!

Because he chose the beginner tutorial mode, the moment the bug appeared, the tutorial screen immediately appeared in his main perspective.

The simulation teaching system instilled in these insects their weaknesses and names, and indicated that they were low-level insectoids with no intelligence, mere cannon fodder that were easy to deal with.

Following the instructions, Cen Yu quickly used the appropriate weapon to shatter the stationary insects into pieces.

Then the difficulty began to increase; the insects started to move faster and their numbers also increased... After Cen Yu eliminated 5 insects, he was finally bitten in the neck and died by one of them.

At the moment of death, the almost real pain made Cen Yu frown.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the initial preparation screen—

"Is this death effect so realistic?" Cen Yu touched his neck, still feeling a sense of unease, as if his head had been separated from his body.

[Reporting to the host: Pain level and realism can be turned off and adjusted.] System voice.

The fat cat, seemingly afraid of being scolded by Cen Yu, quickly rubbed against him and said ingratiatingly, "I'll turn it off for you right away, sir."

"No need." Cen Yu had already become somewhat interested.

He felt as if he had figured out the patterns of those insects... The instantaneous death penalty made him feel even more immersed in the situation, "This is just right."

In the blink of an eye, Cen Yu was back in the simulated teaching environment.

From a third-person perspective.

The clumsy standard-issue mech AII-32 landed on the now-ruined department store.

On the ground, inside the buildings... black holes appeared, and countless insects poured out of these holes, while the clumsy standard mechs nimbly leaped down from the buildings.

It pulled out a weapon hidden beside its leg and began to harvest the insects.

...

"Is someone using the tutorial mode?"

"who?"

"...It seems to be Cen Yu?"

For a moment, everyone in the simulation training field fell silent.

To motivate everyone's competitive spirit, this simulated training ground doesn't reveal what training programs everyone is doing... but each person's mode will be displayed on the transparent projection screen at the top.

XX is performing a StarNet random selection.

XXX is playing online within the school.

XX is using a beginner's tutorial mode that involves individual training.

It's very straightforward, so even if someone isn't familiar with operating the mechs, they'd rather learn by trial and error in the school's online multiplayer mode than embarrass themselves by choosing the beginner tutorial mode...
