Chapter 48 Online Romance with a Bad Beta: Soft and Cute Girl A Asks for a Meeting

Skyscrapers lined the city beneath the vast sky, and an oval-shaped aircraft glided silently across the night, disappearing along its predetermined trajectory, leaving behind a silvery-white shadow.

The person standing behind the curtains took it all in, one hand gripping the curtains, their face reflected in the glass.

Clearly, this is a world different from the one she lived in.

She saw the enormous spaceship slowly passing by in the sky again, and when she looked up, she felt as awestruck as a mayfly looking up at a whale.

She was absolutely certain, and the word "advanced" was more appropriate to describe her first impression of this era.

"Oh no, we got the timing wrong because of the power shortage those days."

An anxious electronic voice came from behind Xi Congshuang. She turned around, glanced at the red apples mixed in with the fruit plate, and then looked at the electronic clock.

The time above is 9:30 PM.

It is indeed quite late; in half an hour it will be her bedtime.

Red Apple hurriedly asked, "Do you still remember our promise?"

Having finally escaped the hospital and the smell of disinfectant, Xi Congshuang nodded: "I remember."

Red Apple: "I remember you've watched quite a few melodramatic dramas, some of which involve the ABO universe, right?"

Xi Congshuang found it strange. She had only seen this apple before she died, so how did it know her preferences?

But she nodded: "I've seen movies and TV shows, as well as online novels."

"The scope is quite broad." Red Apple felt much relieved, and no longer needed to waste time explaining the ABO worldview.

She seemed to have returned to a state before her mind completely collapsed, cutting to the chase and sending over all the information in one go.

Caught off guard, Xi Congshuang felt a sharp pain in her head, and her mind was filled with records about the original owner's life.

The original owner was also named Xi Congshuang. Her parents died in a space pirate kidnapping incident.

As an only child, she inherited her family's fortune and became very wealthy. However, due to her past experiences, she lost faith in all relationships.

So she chose to have an online relationship and pretended to be an omega.

The reason is simple.

The original owner deeply envied alphas and omegas. Why could those with pheromones find their perfect match, while she had to live a lonely life?

Because she is a beta who can never have pheromones, a fact that has been unchangeable since birth, and this has always been an obsession in her heart.

Her past experiences made it impossible for her to form close relationships with another person. On the other hand, she longed to marry someone like her parents because of their high compatibility in pheromones. Torn between these two emotions, she was caught in a state of extreme desire and extreme aversion to interacting with others.

People who get stuck on details don't think too much; they just blame everything on being a beta and treat high-compatibility pheromones as a sign of complete trust.

Not long ago, she talked about another alpha, who was a student at the First Academy of the Central Star and claimed to be named Tan Yicheng.

The other person said that he was not yet 20 years old, studied in the mecha department of the First Academy, and had excellent grades and a great physique.

In addition, the original owner cast a wide net and was generous with her money, and she was also generous in breaking up with him. She had a good reputation on the StarNet, and everyone knew that she was a rich and beautiful Omega who didn't like to show her face. In order to win the heart of a rich Omega, her online boyfriend sent her photos.

Regardless of anything else, the other person is indeed very good-looking.

With a straight nose, thin lips, and neat medium-length hair, she wore a fitted black vest under her leather jacket. When she took a picture in the mirror, she deliberately struck a pose, and her abs were faintly visible under the vest.

During the ambiguous period of their online relationship, the person she was dating online sent her a lot of photos of the First Academy and the daily training routine of the mecha department.

The original owner accepted everything without question and never investigated further.

Soon, the two sides agreed on a meeting time.

Upon their first meeting, the original owner, with a mixture of curiosity and disgust, sprayed on omega essence to temporarily disguise herself as an omega, and even dressed up in the popular makeup style of omegas.

The two sides successfully met, and seeing the surprised and eager look in each other's eyes, the original owner thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Young alphas are all so unreserved and reckless. Disappointed, the original owner did not forget to feign affection to appease the other party.

She's really bored lately and has no plans to break up yet.

However, when she got up to go to the bathroom, the original owner inadvertently glimpsed the message that the alpha sent to his friend.

"She is quite pretty, but unfortunately she is a weak omega, and her pheromones are so faint that they are almost undetectable."

The original owner's heart tightened, suspecting that the other party had discovered that he was not a real omega. After several tests, he was relieved to find out that the other party had not discovered it.

This situation continued for three months.

Not satisfied with just chatting online and receiving gifts, the alpha proposed meeting in person again.

On their second meeting, in order to alleviate the other party's suspicions, the original owner gritted her teeth and injected a higher concentration of omega-3 hormones into the back of her neck.

This makes her smell more like a sweet omega.

The original owner, who gladly accepted the appointment, did not expect that another alpha would be sitting at the agreed spot, and the alpha who was supposed to meet her had disappeared.

This was completely different from the alpha she wanted to meet. The other person introduced herself as the real Tan Yicheng, a classmate of the previous alpha sister.

The alpha who was dating the original owner was not studying in the Mecha Department of the First Academy. According to federal law, she was not yet an adult.

It hasn't even undergone a second differentiation yet.

Moreover, all the photos and even grades she posted using the real Tan Yicheng's identity were taken by using her sister's name to enter the school.

The person in question came here in person today simply to clarify the truth and hope that the original owner will no longer be deceived.

However, the original owner felt she hadn't had enough fun yet and said she didn't mind the deception, as she had plenty of money. She was also dissatisfied with Tan Yicheng's unauthorized clarification.

Tan Yicheng felt that the other party was unreasonable. Not only was she being used as a substitute, but her good intentions to clarify the situation were not appreciated. Being young and impetuous, she had a fight with the original owner in the private room.

In a fit of emotion, Tan Yicheng was affected by the original owner's false pheromones, causing her susceptible period to start prematurely.

At the most critical moment, the original owner was frightened by the appearance of the alpha during his vulnerable period, became scared, retreated, and turned to run away.

Her omega pheromones were fake, making it impossible to trace her identity through the registered pheromone code.

The original owner only learned afterward that Tan Yicheng had damaged her glands as a result, becoming a disabled alpha. Her classmates bribed their way into issuing a notice that would put her on an indefinite leave of absence from school.

Without hesitation, the original owner took advantage of the situation and bought the shop where the two parties met before anyone could react, eliminating all evidence and deleting the online alias.

The alpha she was having an online romance with wouldn't even bother to avoid her, let alone cooperate with the investigation. Even if Tan Yicheng described what the omega looked like, he was excluded because the original owner was a beta.

The original owner, who had forged her identity, simply disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

From then on, no one could find her again.

This time the information was quite detailed, and it took Xi Congshuang a while to digest it. She inexplicably felt that it was too comprehensive.

Red Apple reminded her: "Tan Yicheng is the female lead of this world. She was supposed to be a grassroots marshal, with a glorious life starting from the First Academy. However, she was harmed by 'Xi Congshuang' and suffered glandular disability, making her unable to drive the mecha. The proud daughter of heaven suffered a sudden change, and her personality changed drastically from then on."

"I have two pieces of news for you."

"Bad news, the timeline has reached the point where the alpha gland is crippled. The vengeful alpha is coming to kill you, even if it means being exiled to a remote planet."

"Good news, the female lead hasn't found your exact address yet."

Xi Congshuang grasped the key point: "Exiled to a remote planet? She successfully killed me?"

Red Apple nodded painfully: "Success! He escaped from prison while still in exile, becoming a notorious space pirate leader, causing a complete collapse of the timeline!!!"

Xi Congshuang: "".

It looks like a tough nut to crack.

As soon as the words were spoken, a colder, more indifferent electronic voice, unlike the one on the red apple, began to announce the following:

"Honkai value +10, current Honkai value 70."

Red Apple cried out in terror: "Aaaaaah! The corruption value has been refreshed! The female lead has come knocking!"

In a panic, Red Apple paced around the room before suddenly flying to Xi Congshuang: "Forget everything else now, your priority is to survive the female lead and prevent her from killing you and committing a crime!"

Xi Congshuang: "?"

Me? I'm going to defend the female protagonist who's an excellent student in the mecha department?

At the same time, a message popped up on the smart device that had been tossed onto the coffee table.

【orange】: Good evening, sister. I just finished my homework and I suddenly wondered if I could see a complete artificial moon if I looked out of your window.

This is the original owner's new online love interest. She is a female high school alpha who is determined to get into a good college. She also said that she comes from a poor family and lives in a slum.

Six months ago, Tan Yicheng's appearance when she was forced to enter her vulnerable period still frightened the original owner. Recently, she has developed a preference for alphas with soft and cute personalities.

As an online dating partner, the original owner was quite qualified; she expressed her support for his dreams and sent him a considerable amount of money.

but.

Xi Congshuang looked up and out the window. The huge spaceship had disappeared into the distance, revealing the bright artificial moon in the sky.

Looking out of her window, you can indeed see a complete artificial moon.

This building features moon-view rooms, the main attraction of Red Tea Star, offering unobstructed views of the moon and starry sky. It's where Xi Congshuang has been staying most recently. Meanwhile, the planet where the cute and innocent high school alpha lives is relatively underdeveloped, lacking an artificial moon.

According to her description, when artificial rainmaking was used in her area, it would rain heavily outside and lightly inside. The original owner of the body also gave her a large sum of money so that she could rent a better place.

Xi Congshuang grabbed the smart device, the message reflected in her smoky gray eyes.

She didn't have the original owner's perverse sense of humor, nor did she have an extraordinary fondness for online dating. It's not hard to tell that this message was sent by the female protagonist.

All that talk about cute and cuddly alphas is fake. A leaky house and the longing for a moonlit house are nothing but a test.

With her glands destroyed and nowhere to turn for help, the female protagonist wanted to take revenge but no one would help her. Her resentment had nowhere to go, so it was only natural that she would have the idea of ​​taking revenge herself.

The original owner thought that with the passage of time, they should be safe and sound, so they created a new alias and cast a wide net online. The two parties approached each other with completely new identities.

In a way, it can be considered a two-way journey.

The premise is that the person who suffers retribution is not oneself.

During their time together, the original owner, who was obsessed with online dating, took many photos of his home furnishings or a perfect artificial moon scene out of a desire to show off. The female protagonist was able to analyze the original owner's residence based on this and began to plot revenge step by step.

Xi Congshuang raised her hand, awkwardly manipulating the AI ​​in her hand. Red Apple hurriedly came over: "What's wrong? Are you planning to use talk therapy to calm the female lead down?"

*

Below the high-rise building, a tall, slender figure stepped into the elevator and casually pressed a blank magnetic card onto the elevator's sensor screen.

The elevator screen displayed garbled text for several tens of seconds before finally displaying a single number.

102.

The woman in the elevator was only wearing a shirt jacket, her long hair tied back, and she wasn't even wearing a hat to cover her face. She openly exposed her entire face to the hidden surveillance camera, her posture relaxed and casual, like a resident of the building who had just finished dinner and was taking a walk home.

Who would have thought she went upstairs to commit murder?

"Ding ding".

As the elevator slowly ascended, a notification sound rang out. She raised her wrist, which had prominent wrist bones, and the AI ​​opened its virtual screen.

Her expressionless face was reflected on the pure white walls of the elevator car. She raised her hand and deleted the spam message.

Five minutes have passed since she pinned the chat window to the top, but the other party still hasn't responded.

Tan Yicheng lowered his hand without any expression.

*

"Honkai value +10, current Honkai value 80."

"Honkai value +10, current Honkai value 90."

"The mission is on the verge of failure. Please try again, host!"

On the 102nd floor, the notification sounds kept coming in one after another, making the atmosphere increasingly tense.

The system was unsure of Xi Congshuang's mood, but it was on the verge of crashing from anxiety.

Red Apple was devastated: "It's over, it's over. If the Collapse Value increases by another 10 points, even without her doing anything, it will be considered a mission failure. I finally made it through... How could this happen?"

"Ding ding".

The smart device in Xi Congshuang's hand received a reply, emitting a cheerful notification sound. Before she could even pay attention to the system, the room suddenly went dark.

Someone cut off the power supply to Xi Congshuang's home, leaving her in darkness, which made the bright lights outside her window seem even more dazzling.

Red Apple exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on?! Why is the power out?"

Xi Congshuang: "The world has so much electrical energy that it's almost light pollution-level, so there shouldn't be any power outages."

Red Apple: "So that was done by someone? Who?"

Xi Congshuang: "As an outstanding student in the mecha department, the female lead can easily fix minor problems with mechas and cut off the power supply to her home."

"...!"

Red Apple was horrified; what she said made perfect sense.

The female protagonist only had damaged glands, which impaired her mental strength, but she didn't completely lose her memory and forget everything she had learned before, so it wasn't a difficult thing for her.

Since they came with the determination to fight to the death, they certainly wouldn't just recklessly bring a single weapon.

There is no other possibility than being blocked at the gate of a high-rise building by a stupid approach.

The house was quiet, both inside and out.

"Knock, knock, knock." The person outside had little patience and didn't wait long before knocking on her door.

The force was steady, the rhythm slow, one strike after another, as if hitting Xi Congshuang's heart.

Xi Congshuang, who was inside the room, naturally did not answer. She stood there warily, staring silently at the door.

She didn't know what the original owner would have done, but given her habits and her wariness of everyone, she certainly wouldn't have opened the door or responded easily.

Her gaze was drawn to the AI ​​on the coffee table. It emitted a faint light in the darkness, and the AI ​​was still working, allowing her to send a message to anyone for help at any time.

But she still died, and the female protagonist was caught red-handed, with irrefutable evidence, and was taken to the interstellar court.

Why did the original owner fail to survive?

The original owner would never open the door, nor would they respond to anyone they didn't trust.

"..."

My heartbeat quickened and accelerated in the deathly silence, and the feeling of oppression increased sharply.

Red Apple, realizing it couldn't offer any help, went to find a way to restore the power.

There was complete silence outside, and the people guarding the door also remained silent for some reason.

wrong.

Xi Congshuang's guard was on high alert, and she instinctively ran towards the door, only managing to grab the smart device from the coffee table.

In her panic, Xi Congshuang forgot that since the power was out, she couldn't let anyone in through the door, and naturally, she couldn't open it to leave either.

The moment the cold hand pressed against the door, Xi Congshuang reacted in time, but it was too late.

Appearing from nowhere, a ghostly figure had already closed in, holding a small knife in its hand, the blade gleaming as it was drawn from its sheath.

The artificial moonlight shone into the room, and Xi Congshuang could still see everything, but to Red Apple, it was better not to see anything at all. The ghostly figure was extremely fast, heading straight for Xi Congshuang's vital spot.

The gleaming light of the blade was already reflected in Xi Congshuang's eyes, and she attacked suddenly with a sharp killing intent.

Xi Congshuang crouched to the side to dodge the attack. The object on her right ear fell off, and she felt a pain in her ear as warm liquid flowed out.

Before she could react, a cold and chilling sensation swept towards her neck. In a moment of panic, Xi Congshuang struck the other woman's elbow to numb the tendons. Her hand holding the knife twisted, and the sharp blade grazed her hair, causing a strand of hair to fall gracefully to the side.

"Clatter."

In the rush, the hearing aid that had fallen to the ground was stepped on and shattered into pieces. Xi Congshuang's ear canal was still in excruciating pain, and all she had left was the willpower to cope with the life-threatening situation.

However, instead of making any progress with the feet that had crushed the hearing aid, they were pinned down by the shoulders and turned around, their wrists grabbed and pressed against the door.

His back slammed into the door, the impact producing a dull thud, and his body tensed beneath his palm.

"Bang!"

The two locked in combat locked eyes. Xi Congshuang's gaze fell upon a pair of amber eyes filled with hatred, and for some reason, she felt a sudden emptiness in her heart.

The person being pinned down had simply not reacted yet; she knew that any moment of distraction during the fight could lead to her death.

Seizing the opportunity, Tan Yicheng pinned the man down, pressing the cold blade against his delicate, slender neck, drawing a line of blood.

She hadn't expected that this beta who always liked to pretend to be an omega would be so skilled. His moves were a bit clumsy and strange, but it was clear that he had undergone systematic training.

"..."

Xi Congshuang hadn't expected that the female lead would take a different approach to kill her, not coming in through the main door, but judging from the direction she was coming from her room window.

Regardless of how she managed to cut open the window and enter the room so quietly.

This is a 102-story building with a smooth exterior. There's nowhere to land; if you fall, you'll just be smashed into a pile of mud.

No wonder Xi Congshuang died at her hands; she did not die unjustly.

"Xi, Cong, Shuang." Tan Yicheng was actually smiling, but his eyes were cold and devoid of any smile. When he called her name, it sounded like he was squeezing it out from between his teeth.

"You're surprised to see me, aren't you?"

The two were so close that their breaths almost mingled, their legs intertwined and restrained each other, clinging tightly like vines.

At this distance, you either want to kiss them or you want to beat them to death.

Clearly, the woman in front of us is the latter.

Xi Congshuang thought to herself that she had made a mistake, and pressed her back against the door: "It's not that surprising."

Her answer was the blade pressed even closer to her neck.

Tan Yicheng's patience was running out, and he was about to take action.

Xi Congshuang's breath hitched slightly. Before she could take any further action, she said her last words: "Do you want to restore your glands? I have a way."

The person pressing down on her was startled and loosened their grip.

Red Apple, who was busy on both ends but couldn't help either, breathed a sigh of relief, thankful she hadn't died.

As expected, Xi Congshuang, after being refreshed, can still speak human language.

Immediately afterwards, Red Apple heard Xi Congshuang say, "Money is the least valuable thing to me."

"..."

Red Apple: "!!!"

No, Miss, what nonsense are you spouting! This isn't the time to want Versailles!

#Which direction should one worship to ask the host to relinquish their supernatural powers?#

It wished it could personally step forward and cover Xi Congshuang's mouth with its wings, begging the young lady to stop using her mouth to attract hatred, or it would really die!

But it dared not actually cover her mouth, fearing that she would be unable to talk to the female lead and might actually die.

Xi Congshuang's ear canal was still bleeding. She moved slightly in discomfort, her brow furrowing.

As expected, Tan Yicheng pressed even harder on her shoulder, veins bulging on the back of his hand, a silent warning to her to behave.

She had no choice but to stay still, leaning against the door as if it didn't matter, a beauty mark under her eye resembling a tear.

Tan Yicheng knew very well how unrepentant, cowardly, and arrogant this person was.

“Indeed, you are very wealthy. Buying a store is just a matter of a few words for you.” Tan Yicheng had investigated the person in front of him very thoroughly.

"You try so hard to pretend to be an omega, but no matter how hard you try, you just don't look like one. You're too low-quality."

She knows how to touch people's hearts.

Xi Congshuang looked up, and Tan Yicheng sneered, his eyes dark and deep.

Bright red blood flowed down her neck, soaking her clothes, but Xi Congshuang seemed unfazed by the pain.

In Tan Yicheng's eyes, she was pretending to be calm, but Red Apple knew that this person had always been like this, through life and death.

I was blinded by the high score on the rating sheet, thinking it was a high-quality host, but it turns out to be a case of loving someone to the death.

After spending a lifetime together, how could it not know what kind of person this is?

Oh.

Xi Congshuang: "If you kill me now, you will never be able to restore things to their original state. You have no better way to restore them to their original state."

Upon hearing this, Red Apple was completely stunned.

No one would dare to threaten a desperate criminal, but its host would.
