Chapter 7 The powerful experiment becomes the most popular one for Alpha...

Lu Xun almost wanted to laugh. That piece of junk was a former public training machine. It was an old model with many damages. It was just thrown there and no one wanted to get on it. Compared with his mecha, it was just an old car trying to cheat a Ferrari - it was pure suicide.

Not only that, Bai Ling also asked for a full set of armor, and put it on step by step according to the instructions in the operating manual, even the buckling method was exactly standard.

The case is solved... Turns out it was just a rookie.

Everyone laughed. It was obvious that he was a newbie.

None of them old hands would pay attention to such details.

Bai Ling didn't care.

The most important thing he learned in his previous life was to reduce wear and tear as much as possible and extend his lifespan - so even though he had been given three critical illness notices, he still had the willpower to go to the battlefield.

Entering the cockpit, the power light comes on and the screen displays a welcome message: Wee back, my master!

Bai Ling stroked the operating table, whispering like a lover:

"Long time no see, old friend. Give me a hand."

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, the scrapped mecha stood up miraculously, as if a terminally ill patient had a last burst of life. And in the crowd, a black-haired beauty with sharp eyes was also staring at the scene intently.

The whistle blows and the game is about to begin!

The competition system is simple, whoever falls to the ground first is the loser.

Long after, when the witnesses recalled this impromptu duel, they could not help but sigh:

"Fast, too fast."

What was fast was not only the ferocity of Bai Ling's attack with a big jump, but also Mr. Lu's embarrassing speed.

Lu Xun was lying on the ground looking up at the sky. Before he could react why he was in a spread-eagle position, the shell of his mecha was stepped on heavily. At the same time, a cold voice sounded over the communication:

"Are you convinced?"

Although he was clearly being stepped on, Lu Xun blushed for no apparent reason when he heard the cold and arrogant voice, as if he was conquered by the female falcon with strong feathers.

"It's... a little exciting."

"Hmm?" Bai Ling narrowed his eyes.

"Ah, no, no, no, I surrender. I just want to convince you!" Lu Xun knelt down decisively.

If you lose a gamble, you have to accept the consequences. That’s the rule in the mercenary circle.

Bai Ling nodded and said coldly, "That's good to know."

At this moment, a cheerful female voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Don't you have your own mecha? Join our club and we'll give you one for free."

Bai Ling turned around and saw the logo on the black-haired beauty's chest at first glance. This woman should be the mentor of the Five Star Society.

He replied: "That depends on what conditions you offer."

Everyone around was almost laughing out of anger. Mentor Anna personally extended an olive branch and asked, "What other conditions do you have? Agree to them quickly."

Anna smiled and said, “You ask first, and I’ll see if I can satisfy you.”

Bai Ling thought about it and said, "You can give me a mecha, but I want to go to the hangar and choose it myself. I won't accept assignments."

Coming from a newcomer, this is really arrogant. But unexpectedly, Anna, who was always strict, nodded this time:

"Okay. However, if the synchronization rate between you and the mecha is less than 60%, I also have the right to reject you."

Bai Ling responded straightforwardly: "Okay."

Everyone: ...Hey, are you overconfident? The club mecha is different from the public training machine. It takes 60% to start it up. You are a newcomer and you are still far from that!

·

With the mood of watching a show, everyone followed Anna to the dedicated hangar where "there was a lot of noise".

"You can choose any of these in the warehouse..."

Bai Ling turned around and asked, "Any one will do?"

Anna nodded and said, "That's right." Except for one machine, the others are standard machines of the club.

Bai Ling pointed and said, "I want that one."

Everyone looked in that direction, were stunned at first, and then all made faces and laughed secretly.

The reason is simple, because this "Rattlesnake" is a famous chaste and fierce machine in the society's hangar.

It was originally a test aircraft sent by a military manufacturer. Whoever could tame it could sign a contract with the Mecha Laboratory and become the extremely glorious "Test Pilot of Unit No. 0".

But there is no easy lunch in the world.

The Rattler is equipped with the latest artificial intelligence system and has a proud and fierce temper. Others pick on mechas, but it, as a mecha, will pick on its master. If it is unhappy, it will throw the person out of the cab and cause him to break his bones.

So it has been left here for more than half a year, covered in dust, and people can only watch from afar with resentment.

"What the hell is he doing?"

Under the strange gazes of the crowd, Bai Ling came back with a bucket of water, climbed onto the mecha, and carefully wiped away the old dust on the glass with a newly opened rag. He then applied a layer of maintenance wax to paint it, and the deep space gray shell suddenly became shiny.

Finally, he folded two small daisies from flyers and stuck them on the outer window of the cockpit.

The rattlesnake shook violently twice, and everyone felt gloating.

Here it comes! It's a waste of your time. The rattlesnake will surely shake your brains out and leave you half paralyzed!

But at this moment, a clear voice came from the loudspeaker:

"Please help me get the flowers into the cockpit."

It was the rattlesnake that was speaking!

It has never happened before that a rattlesnake takes the initiative to talk to people.

Bai Ling casually wiped the thin layer of sweat off his arm, put on gloves, and touched the rattlesnake's tail.

A hint of tenderness appeared in his cold grey eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up:

"She's still a pretty little girl."

Everyone regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. If they had known that they could improve the favorability of the mecha by just moving their fingers to clean up, they would have taken down Rattlesnake long ago.

But it was no use regretting now. They could only watch Bai Ling climb the stairs and sit steadily in the driver's seat they had always dreamed of.

"Humph, getting into the cockpit is nothing. Passing the synchronization rate recognition is a real skill."

One of the strongest vice-captains in the group has also passed the initial certification of Rattler, but is still stuck at the 75% neural synchronization rate and unable to successfully log into the system?

This new guy can't possibly be better than the deputy captain who has thirty years of driving experience.

So when Rattlesnake gave the synchronization rate data, everyone showed a mocking expression of "as expected".

"21%..." Anna frowned slightly. This statistic was not good to look at. It could be said to be unprecedentedly low in the Five-Star Club.

Generally speaking, after connecting to the neural interface, the brain-computer synchronization rate is 20%-40%, and the device can move, walk, run, and jump simply.

40%-60%, able to perform complex movements such as flipping, dodging, and basic flying.

As for those handsome aerial somersaults and combo skills as smooth as hunting birds, they all require a synchronization rate of 70% or even more than 80%, which is a great test of the driver's physical fitness.

Anna was just about to persuade Bai Ling to give up, saying it wouldn't be shameful to try another one.

Before he could finish his words, Rattlesnake took a shaky step, and then something strange happened.

This performance beast is like a toddler, stretching its arms to maintain balance and walking crookedly with stiff steps.

After walking out of the warehouse, he felt a little more relaxed. He jumped up and down a few times, making everyone laugh.

But after a few seconds, the rattlesnake seemed to suddenly come to its senses and started running in small steps. It circled around the training ground at a speed of 5km, 10km, 40km... running faster and faster, the bottom wheels sliding rapidly in the flying sand, accompanied by the gradually rising roar of the engine, and a violent storm rolled up into the sky.

“Boom——!”

In an instant, flames spewed out from the thick tail of the engine, and the heat from the burning tail flames almost brushed against people's faces. A blue-purple stream of light cut through the night scene, and with a devastating roar, it broke through the air and crashed into the sky powerfully and fiercely.

“What the hell!”

Amid screams, the white feathers flew across the deep blue sea as fast as an arrow shot from a bow. Various mechas training on the beach were startled and flew away in fear, like a flock of pigeons targeted by a hunting falcon.

In the sky, the Rattler spread its beautiful streamlined wings, drawing a straight line in the night sky.

Bai Ling looked at the arc-shaped horizon and heard the pleasant sound of engines in his ears. Everything seemed so familiar, harmonious and pleasant.

This was the first time after his rebirth that he flew freely in the sky, overlooking the land that once raised him.

It made him want to shout to the earth: I'm back!

After a moment, the mecha landed safely. Everyone was amazed and envious, but they also had questions in their hearts. Anna asked:

"Your synchronization rate just now was 21%. How did you get into the sky?"

"21%? Is that so?" Bai Ling took off his helmet, his slightly sweaty hair stuck to his delicate forehead, like an iceberg under the scorching sun, clear and cold.

A group of alphas couldn't help but sneak a peek at this thin-waisted beauty who could drive a mecha. She could have made a living with her face, but she insisted on driving a mecha...

Mercenaries who are naturally strong will love this one very much.

Bai Ling's beautiful and sharp eyes turned around, and he opened the operation panel with his backhand to display the current synchronization rate.

“Eight…eight…87%?!”

The onlookers all stuttered.

Anna suddenly remembered some horrible legends.

It is said that some gifted pilots have naturally strong neural networks that can adapt to any type of mecha in a short period of time, and can incredibly improve the synchronization rate while driving, which is comparable to a miracle.

Which organization did this little bird come from? It's simply...

She got a great bargain!

The team leader must be notified immediately, a contract must be signed for an exclusive driver, and he must be retained with the highest salary! Anna was about to report when she bumped into a man running towards her.

"Uriel? Why are you running so fast?" Anna asked with a smile.

She and Uriel are old acquaintances. After all, that Sidewinder was placed in the hangar by Uriel’s workshop.

Uriel wiped his sweat and looked around: "I came to look for my little white bird. I just found the pilot, but I can't find him."

"What do you mean your little white bird?" Anna blurted out, "That's our little bird!"

"What bird?" Uriel was stunned, then reacted incredulously, "No, he signed with your team?"

"Not only that." Anna crossed her arms and said proudly, "He also drove your Rattler into the sky."

"Huh? I was just about to ask him to take the test... He, he passed?"

"Yeah, 87% synchronization rate."

Uriel's face was full of disbelief. Oh my God... When he handed his business card to someone, he originally intended to get a backdoor from the society. Who would have thought that the bird, instead of showing his business card to establish a relationship, actually got a grand slam in the extra-point test he had reserved.

Uriel's face turned serious and he insisted, "No, that's my bird cub!"

While the two of them were arguing fiercely outside, Bai Ling was working quietly in the warehouse - cleaning the muddy rattlesnakes and doing cooling maintenance, with the utmost care and attention.

Rattlesnake asked him doubtfully in the voice of a heroic girl:

"You seem to be familiar with my structure?"

Bai Ling seemed to be stumped by the question. He lowered his head and twisted the rag, and the dirty water dripped into the bucket. After a long while, he softened his voice and said;

"Because... you're a good kid."

It was the only mecha that was willing to follow him when he was in poverty in his previous life.

Although this is only Unit 0, not the mass-produced unit he once purchased, he is still very happy to have this opportunity to meet his lifelong companion...

Very happy.

"Bird, are you there?" Anna's voice suddenly sounded.

She walked over quickly, her high heels tapping the ground, "Come with me to the infirmary. You need to undergo a comprehensive physical examination before you can start work."

·

Doctor Lin held the examination report in his hand, somewhat doubting his life.

He had never seen an omega in such a bad condition!

Differentiation delay, reproductive cavity damage, psychological stress, malnutrition... There are several pages of lists of major and minor problems, almost all the taboos that can be violated during the differentiation period.

Doctor Lin was numb, watching Bai Ling come in with an expression as if he was looking at a leaking shower head.

The key person involved was not bothered at all, so he pulled out a chair, sat down and asked:

"Any questions?"

Doctor Lin's eyes twitched and he handed over the list. With so many red numbers, you would be scared to death.

Bai Ling flipped through it casually and was a little surprised: "You're in pretty good shape?"

Doctor Lin: “…”

Doctor Lin thought that the other party was young and would not understand these things, so he patiently explained:

"Look at this one. Your sex hormone level has dropped to -8. The normal level is between 5 and 30. With this level, you would have needed to be hospitalized for observation a long time ago."

The level of sex hormones directly affects the secretion of pheromones, and if not handled properly it can lead to lifelong sexual apathy.

In more serious cases, it may even lead to deformed development of the reproductive cavity, directly causing differentiation failure. The body will always stagnate between beta and omega, and suffer from false estrus for a lifetime.

That is not a pain that most people can endure.

Many omegas are forced to have their reproductive cavities removed because they missed the treatment period, which greatly reduces their lifespan.

Doctor Lin: "You are now in the critical period of differentiation. Although it is too late now, as long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, everything is still in time."

"No need." Bai Ling handed the checklist back casually. "I don't have any desire to have children. It doesn't matter whether I differentiate or not."

Anyway, that's how he lived in his previous life.

Doctor Lin had a blank expression on his face. He thought that his opponent was wearing protective gear during the duel. Finally, a driver with B skills came. He didn't expect that his reckless behavior was even worse than that of the group of veterans in their forties and fifties outside.

This ignorant young man must be severely punished.

Dr. Lin threw out his trump card: "If you don't listen to the doctor's advice, I have the right to request a guardian to accompany you. You don't want your parents to clock in every time you go to work, do you?"

There was indeed a hint of hesitation on the little white-haired boy's expression.

Dr. Lin knew he had made the right move.

But when he thought about it, he felt that something was wrong.

How can someone who can raise an omega so badly be a good guardian? Moreover, the psychological stress of bird breeds is generally related to the indifference and rough treatment of breeders.

Dr. Lin suspected that the other party’s alpha guardian had not fulfilled his legal responsibilities at all.

For whatever reason, the guardian failed to establish a secure attachment with the bird, let alone provide consistent care, love, comfort, and hugs.

This lack of care will cause Omega to be in a state of high anxiety, high avoidance, and low emotion for a long time.

It is very detrimental to the growth and development of omega.

Therefore, since the time of Isupalaiso, the imperial law has clearly stipulated that

Every omega that enters the differentiation period must be assigned a guardian, otherwise they are not allowed to enter and leave public places freely.

This is the famous [AO Guardian System] in Interstellar.

Doctor Lin lowered his tone and stared at him:

"Tell me honestly, is your guardian abusive?"

Bai Ling suddenly raised his head, his grey eyes were filled with ripples, but he quickly calmed down and denied it flatly:

"No, he's very nice to me."

Doctor Lin nodded and put away the list:

"Okay, whether you're lying or not, I suggest you find a guardian who's more experienced and more stable. Not to mention helping you increase your desire to have children, at least he can release soothing pheromones to help you relieve pain when you're in false estrus."

"Before that, you can take artificial A-sex hormones."

Bai Ling was a little absent-minded. He took the medicine prescribed by Dr. Lin and rolled the paper bag into a small ball.

Doctor Lin instructed: "Also, you must avoid contact with alpha as much as possible while taking the medicine."

Bai Ling asked back: "What if they came into contact?"

Doctor Lin's eyes were meaningful, and he said slowly:

"Then you will passively choose your partner and become his most convenient prey."
