Chapter 1: The Parsifica Arc (Part 1) - Transmigrating into an ABO world but being a poor Beta...
“Another insect swarm has broken out in the slums.” A nurse turned to chat with the person next to her, her gaze falling on Xu Lingzhao, who was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. “Look, she’s the only one who survived. It’s really not easy for a Beta to survive.” She lowered her voice. “Everyone in that area is dead.”
"Shh! Stop talking, let's go to another ward."
Xu Lingzhao slowly opened her eyes only after the door closed. Her confused memories left her momentarily disoriented. The slums? The insect swarm? Beta? Wasn't I a female college student? After a long while, Xu Zhenwei's consciousness gradually returned, and she sorted things out.
As a female college student on Earth who was involved in a car accident and transformed into a Beta in an ABO world, Xu Lingzhao remembers that when she first opened her eyes, there was a large golden bee in front of her, and she heard panicked screams from the crowd: "Oh no! The queen bee is here, run!"
Xu Lingzhao wanted to run away, but she felt the golden blood splattering from the queen bee burning her body. When she woke up again, she was in the hospital... "A narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune." Xu Lingzhao licked her dry lips and was about to get up to find some water when she realized something was wrong.
She remembered that she was nearsighted, so how come she could see things so clearly now? She immediately rolled up her sleeve and found that the mole on the side of her arm was still there, and her body was still her body. She walked to the window and looked down at the pedestrians. She estimated that she was probably on the twentieth floor.
But you can clearly see the individual strands of hair and even the pores of pedestrians, and you can also clearly hear their conversations.
She mutated?! However, Xu Lingzhao felt this wasn't a bad thing; it was very likely related to the queen bee. Footsteps sounded, and she turned around to see a nurse looking at her with some surprise: "You woke up so quickly?"
Xu Lingzhao nodded. The nurse led her to undergo a final examination. Walking beside her, she instructed, "Because of your special circumstances, the Federation has regulations that do not accept patients injured during a sudden insect swarm. The Federation will also compensate you with a sum of star coins." She paused, "Although you are an undocumented immigrant, it's not easy to survive. After the examination, someone from the shelter will come to pick you up."
"Okay." Xu Lingzhao could feel the nurse's kindness towards her. After lying down in the treatment pod under the nurse's guidance, her thoughts gradually drifted. The ABO world—she had only ever seen it in novels before. She never thought she would experience it in person one day. She felt a little resentful: Why wasn't she an Alpha! She liked the soft and sweet Omega...
What a pity...
When the green indicator light came on, the nurse opened the treatment pod, helped her up, and led her into the lobby. The shelter staff had been waiting for a long time. After Xu Lingzhao got into the car, she felt like her life was constantly changing locations, like watching a movie.
After the shelter staff took her to the work area to process her identity information, they handed Xu Lingzhao a personal terminal. Seeing Xu Lingzhao's puzzled expression, the staff kindly taught her how to use it.
As night fell, Xu Lingzhao arrived at her residence—a one-bedroom apartment. The staff told her that she could only stay for a maximum of three months before having to move out. The federal subsidy for her had already been deposited into her personal account. Xu Lingzhao raised her wrist and tapped the screen of her personal computer to check her account balance: 50,000 star coins.
Xu Lingzhao wasn't sure if it was a lot or a little, but she felt a bit hungry. She had observed the area around the shelter when she first arrived and found it to be really remote... However, there was a vending machine on each floor. Xu Lingzhao went up to browse the items: [Bread: 100 Star Coins / Instant Noodles: 150 Star Coins / Luncheon Meat / 168...]
Huh? This is robbery. She scrolled to the bottom and found something that wasn't too expensive: nutrient solution - 10 star coins. Curious, she bought one to try. Hmm... it's like drinking water. It was indeed very filling, but Xu Lingzhao didn't want to compromise, so she also bought a cup of instant noodles...
After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Lingzhao lay on the bed and began to think about her future. She picked up a military academy admissions brochure that she had taken from near the vending machine.
There were five military academies in total. She looked them up herself and found that the benefits for military academy students were quite good. After graduation, they went directly into the military region, and they received subsidies during their studies. Most importantly, they were very safe. However, admission required not only an examination but also tuition fees... She pointed to the cheapest tuition fee at a certain military academy: the cost for a single soldier for one year—250,000 Star Coins... Seriously?
Forget about the exam, even if you pass, it's out of the question if you don't have the money to study! Xu Lingzhao was not giving up and continued to search until she finally found a school where she could study for free—the Sandhurst Imperial Military Academy, for individual soldiers. The condition was: get first place in the entrance exam and you can be exempted from tuition for four years.
Xu Lingzhao assessed her combat strength. Although she was only a Beta, she had mutated! Now she felt incredibly strong, capable of punching Alpah and kicking Omega... Well, what kind of skill was it for a Beta to fight an Omega! Xu Lingzhao immediately decided to try Sandhurst's entrance exam. She glanced at the time; the entrance exam was in a month.
There's still time! "Hiss." However, Xu Lingzhao touched her chin. The planet she was currently on was called Seller Star. She opened her personal computer to check the location of Sandhurst—Navika Star. The distance between the two planets was tens of thousands of miles. A ticket for a starship cost 70,000 star coins.
Xu Lingzhao felt that her primary task at present was to escape poverty. "Tsk," she now realized the purchasing power of 50,000 star coins. It could sustain her on Celer Star, but in the federal center of Navica, she would only be able to walk through the sewers.
She turned on her personal computer and searched for jobs on recruitment websites. The good news was that she was 18 and could apply for most jobs, but the bad news was that only those who were the right age could apply. Until she found a job called Hunter at the very bottom of the recruitment website. Xu Lingzhao clicked on it and found that it required her to enter the Border Forest Ridge with a team or solo.
Kill the Zerg and exchange the crystal cores inside the Zerg for rewards. For a solo player, a minimum grade C crystal core is priced at 5000 star coins. For a team, the team adds up the number of crystal cores obtained and splits the final reward equally.
Xu Lingzhao chose to go solo without hesitation. She wanted to test her strength after the mutation, and since the Sandhurst individual soldier assessment was related to the Zerg, she could not only train herself but also get rewards! A win-win-win situation!
Sleepiness crept in, and she decided to go first thing tomorrow morning! Xu Lingzhao considered herself a person who dared to try new things and was not afraid of death.
The alarm rang, and Xu Lingzhao sprang out of bed. After washing up and getting dressed, she boarded a vehicle to head to the hunter base. Following the navigation, she arrived at the boarding area not far from the containment facility. Suddenly, she felt a powerful sense of oppression coming towards her. Most of the people around her who were also Betas were bent over under this oppressive feeling, just like her.
Xu Lingzhao frowned and looked up. On the chaotic street, a group of well-dressed people were covering their noses as they walked through. The oppressive feeling came from an angry male Alpha who shouted, "How dare a Beta dirty my new shoes? You could work your whole life and still not afford these shoes! Men, beat him up!"
The Beta, who had been scolded by him, curled up on the ground, covering his head and begging for mercy.
As she watched everything unfold before her, she realized for the first time how low the status of Betas was. Everyone was divided into different classes, with Betas at the very bottom of the social hierarchy. She couldn't help but worry about her future.
"Enough, put away your mental energy, don't waste time." A blond male Omega stepped forward to stop the berserk male Alpha. He seemed to have his own halo, standing out in the crowd. He frowned, his voice cold but carrying an undeniable authority.
Xu Lingzhao was stunned by his breathtaking beauty for a few seconds until the blond Omega looked up and met her gaze, at which point she looked away... Had her gaze been too intense? She wouldn't do that again.
After that group of people left, the oppressive feeling gradually disappeared. She walked to the Beta who was curled up on the ground, reached out and helped him up, and then got into a car and headed to the hunter base.
The staff member who received her quickly processed her identification card and provided her with tools, then told her to go directly into the border forest to obtain the crystal cores and then exchange them at the base. As Xu Lingzhao was about to leave with her things, she heard the staff member say quickly, "Take good care of your crystal cores. If you can't protect them, hand them over. Your life is the most important thing."
She turned around, but only saw the back of the staff member. Xu Lingzhao pursed her lips and took the car to the border forest again. She noticed that several men seemed to be following her. When she turned around, she saw a fierce-looking, tall and strong male Alpha. Xu Zhenwei clenched her fists: I will not offend others unless they offend me. If they do offend me, I will be reborn.
Upon reaching the border forest, Xu Lingzhao saw the group waiting at the exit and stopped advancing. Their eyes inadvertently swept over her, and even a fool would know they were plotting against her. The border forest was highly profitable but extremely dangerous; she had researched the information and learned that many hunters had died there and become food for the insectoid race.
Xu Lingzhao stopped paying attention to them and turned to enter the border forest. But she hadn't gone far into the forest when she shivered. Here... She looked around. The trees blocked out the sun, making it damp and cold, a perfect place for the insectoids to live.
She gripped the weapon she had chosen from the base—a Tang sword. The moment the cool hilt touched her hand, a sense of familiarity washed over her. She walked toward a bush where strange noises were coming from.
Sure enough, before she could even get close, several sharp spider silk threads came flying at her from the bushes. She picked up her Tang sword to parry, and countless techniques instantly flashed through her mind. She was not only a female college student on Earth, but also came from a family of Tang sword masters, having learned Tang swordsmanship from her grandfather since childhood! Indeed, her Tang swordsmanship training had paid off! She swiftly cut the spider silk threads.
A human-faced spider emerged from the bushes. Its head, the size of a basketball, was covered with a dark green carapace. The human-like face in the center distorted as its tentacles trembled. Xu Lingzhao's face was reflected in its covered eye. The computer indicated that this was a C-level insectoid.
It was too bizarre. Xu Lingzhao suppressed her nausea, gripped the Tang sword tightly, and without thinking, her body reacted instinctively. She stepped forward, spun around, and swung the sword, quickly cleaving it in two. Looking at the black blood on the sword, her face contorted with rage, she thought about having to deal with these insectoids in the future... Oh well, she'd just have to bear it.
However, Xu Lingzhao discovered that her speed, strength, and reaction time were far greater than before. Was this a mutated physique? She felt that she had turned misfortune into blessing. Xu Lingzhao stepped forward and plucked the crystal core from the abdomen of the human-faced spider, putting it into a specially made bag. She continued forward, heading deeper into the border forest in order to obtain more crystal cores.
But the sense of relief was quickly replaced by vigilance. There were too many C-level Zerg like this. According to common sense, shouldn't Zerg be huddled in one place?! How could they appear right in front of her and let her kill them? And judging from the movement of those C-level spiders, they seemed to be fleeing the border forest. She stopped and looked into the depths of the forest, hidden by trees—what was inside?
Xu Lingzhao became more alert, stopped, and used his keen hearing and sense of smell to sense everything around him. The smell of blood? Xu Lingzhao gripped his Tang sword tightly, slowed his breathing, and followed the scent towards its source.
She stopped behind a patch of grass. At the entrance of a huge cave, six enormous S-class human-faced spiders were attacking a group of people!
They were weaving a viscous, poisonous green giant net, eight sharp, scythe-like tentacles flailing wildly, trapping a well-equipped squad in the center! The venom flowing from their mouthparts corroded the ground, making a sizzling sound.
She looked closely and realized it was the group of people she had met on the street. Xu Lingzhao put on a mask to cover his face. An S-grade crystal core was worth a lot of money. The poor guy was overjoyed!
The squad members in front of him fought back fiercely, but it seemed like a drop in the ocean. Xu Lingzhao's gaze instantly locked onto one of them—that person.
Blonde Omega.
He was in a terrible state, his abdomen torn open, with large patches of dark blood staining his white combat uniform. His face was pale, and his movements were noticeably sluggish due to the pain. He narrowly avoided a venomous spider web that grazed his scalp, and staggered, only managing to stay upright thanks to the pulse rifle he was holding stuck in the ground.
An S-class spider seized the opportunity, its massive tentacles slashing down!
Xu Lingzhao felt this was a good opportunity for a damsel in distress to save a hero. She was happy to help save the beautiful O at the same time. After making sure that the mask on her face was covered properly, she suddenly threw the C-grade crystal core she had just obtained at the huge tentacle that was attacking the beautiful O with all her might.
With such force, the crystal core accurately struck the spider's eye, causing its attack trajectory to deviate significantly. The six S-class human-faced spiders stopped attacking Mei O and the others, and directly locked onto the direction from which the crystal core had flown.
Xu Lingzhao emerged from the bushes, holding a Tang sword, with only his eyes showing.
A note from the author:

Pre-order novel - "The Guide to Winning Over the Delicate Omgea"
Synopsis: 〖Unrequited Love Comes True｜Wife-Chasing Hell｜Slightly Bitter But Sweet｜Female Alpha, Male Omega〗 (Expected to launch on December 25th, thank you readers for waiting) - Screenshot taken on October 6th for record-keeping
In the flames of the exploding starship, the last thing Lin Qiannan remembered was his half-sister's enigmatic smile.
When she opened her eyes again, there was only an Omega knitting a sweater beside her, keeping her warm. His cheeks were slightly flushed, and his wet eyes looked at her cautiously. "My name is Xu Yuzhen. It was I... I saved you."
But the amnesiac Lin Qiannan said coldly, "Fine, thank you, I'm leaving." Just as the Alpha was about to leave, the seemingly harmless Omega suddenly hugged her waist and said timidly, "If you don't have a partner, you'll be forced into a match, please..."
Hearing his pitiful tone, Lin Qiannan stopped in her tracks. During their cohabitation, she had always been indifferent to him, but after her pheromones went out of control, she forcefully bit the back of his neck—unconsciously marking him for life.
When Xu Yuzhen woke up, she was no longer beside him. He sat blankly on the bed, having left without saying goodbye. Perhaps she really didn't like him at all.
When they meet again, she is the heir to the family business, and news of her engagement is playing on the screen. Xu Yuzhen is presented to her as a "gift," and before she can even speak, she faints in Lin Qiannan's arms.
When Xu Yuzhen woke up, she found herself being held in the arms of an Alpha, her fingertips gently tapping his abdomen. Her calm tone carried a hint of anger, "You're pregnant. How dare you betray me? But it's okay, the mark can be removed."
Faced with unfounded accusations, Xu Yuzhen, already weak and sensitive, cried and trembled all over. He struggled frantically, but Lin Qiannan held him tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with a frighteningly sinister look. "Want to go out? Want to see other Alphas? You can forget about it for the rest of your life."
Alpha's warm breath brushed against his earlobe, and his fingertips gently wiped away tears. "Sweetheart, we'll go to the hospital tomorrow."
"You...you are clearly engaged, this child is..." Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qiannan pinched her cheek. "Shh, don't talk. Don't let me hear anything from you that would upset me."
Lin Qiannan tightened his arms, pulling the person into his embrace, his tone gentle yet threatening, "Even if I get married, you can only be mine."
