"It is said that before the Zerg appeared, there were no Alphas, and of course, no Betas or Omegas either," Huo Shen said to Cen Yu while observing the people in front of him.
"There are also no pheromones or mental energy."
Cen Yu knew some of this, since the school archives and the StarNet both mentioned it, but since it was unrelated to the original work, Cen Yu didn't bother to look up that information.
Huo Shen stopped in his tracks, seemingly pondering how to explain this second talent to Cen Yu.
“Just like we enter a differentiation period, the second talent is equivalent to the second differentiation of Alpha.” Huo Shen gestured. “Some Alphas can unlock their special abilities during the second talent period, like mine.”
Cen Yu recalled the transparent barrier that the other party had just built.
"Everyone's abilities are different, and whether or not they can be activated is like differentiation. Some people become Betas, while others find that they cannot activate their second talent."
“You know, this thing is like a special ability,” Huo Shen added.
Cen Yu roughly understood what Huo Shen meant—Alphas' mental strength and pheromones were inherently unstable. Once their second talent was activated, if it became a dangerous ability, they would be practically equivalent to superhumans. Too many unrestrained superhumans would be a disaster for the Empire.
Before Sleeping Bro reminded him of this, Cen Yu had also wondered about something.
Even with the aid of mecha, can a human body still fight against those Ohmu?
The Queen Worm in the simulation training possessed a supernatural power that was almost incomprehensible by common sense... Cen Yu's previous doubts were also answered.
After entering the military, there may be special training to unlock the second talent. Only those who unlock the second talent through training can truly enter the legion to fight.
"So a medium is needed?" Cen Yu asked again.
He glanced at his hand, unsure if what he had just done counted as Huo Shen's second talent.
That thought just popped into my head for a moment, and I actually did it.
“The military has its own methods.” Huo Shen didn’t go into too much detail, “but just like differentiation… in theory, Alphas can also activate their second talent on their own, after all, there was no such thing as a medium when they first appeared.”
"They were all discovered by chance when Alpha was desperately trying to use his mental power to fight the Zerg in a critical moment."
As Huo Shen spoke, he saw various warnings and reminders constantly appearing on his screen.
It seemed as if the simulator was telling him that what he said involved classified information that should not be disclosed.
Huo Shen found it troublesome and simply turned off these notifications.
Anyway, the strongest guy in the universe has already activated his second talent, so he'll find out about this sooner or later.
Cen Yu walked beside Huo Shen and suddenly asked, "Are you really Huo Shen?"
Huo Shen turned his head, "Me?"
“I’m a fan of the Fifth Legion.” He raised an eyebrow at Cen Yu. “And you? Are you a fan of the Second Prince?”
“I am the Second Prince’s enemy.”
"So they deliberately used his name to incite hatred."
"..." Huo Shen was speechless. "Wait, you're the principal of the Imperial Military Academy?! Is your identity so mysterious that it can't be revealed?"
Cen Yu wanted to say something more, but then received a notification from the system—
[An emergency has been made. Please leave the simulator immediately.]
Before Cen Yu could figure out what was going on, he was ejected from the instance by the system.
Once he regained consciousness, he heard a knock on the hatch and some conversation.
"Damn, how do I contact them?"
"No! Pry it open right now! The smell is too strong!"
Cen Yu then realized that the entire cabin was filled with the scent of his own pheromones... It seemed that the explosion in the simulated space had caused his pheromones to surge, resulting in the leakage of his pheromones.
The odor-blocking agent inside the cabin was already working, but because Cen Yu's pheromones were too strong, they still leaked out.
While Cen Yu was outside discussing whether to forcefully break down the door, he immediately opened the hatch and saw Wen Chunjin, who was wearing a black combat uniform, as well as Chi Jiazhen, who seemed to have rushed over... and Li Chonghe and others.
As soon as the hatch opened, the rich aroma of wood filled almost every corner of the training ground.
Wen Chunjin's expression changed repeatedly, "...Are you crazy?!"
"You dare come to the training ground during your vulnerable period?!"
Chi Jiazhen wanted to get closer, seemingly wanting to subconsciously soothe Cen Yu with his pheromones, but could only watch helplessly because of his current Beta identity.
"Cen Yu."
Li Chonghe, on the contrary, became the calmest person, because as a Beta, he was completely unaffected by pheromones.
The moment the hatch opened, the remaining Alphas poured out of the training ground. Alphas are naturally incompatible, and the strong Alpha pheromones made them feel like they were being pricked with needles.
Upon hearing the news, Wen Xi strode through the crowd and approached. As he drew near, the woody scent, almost like being in a forest, sent a pricking sensation through his glands.
"Alphas and Omegas, step back," Li Chonghe suddenly said.
He glanced at Wen Xihe, who was striding over, and said, "Go close the door."
Then Li Chonghe looked at Wen Chunjin.
Wen Chunjin's glands were also feeling a bit uncomfortable at the moment, but for some reason, he just stood there without leaving, as if he hadn't seen Li Chonghe's hint.
“The Omega’s pheromones might trigger a second burst of Cen Yu’s pheromones.” Li Chonghe looked at Wen Chunjin.
“I injected a potent inhibitor,” Wen Chunjin said, standing to the side with his arms crossed.
After closing the door, Wen Xihe walked to the vicinity of the open simulation pod... He looked at Cen Yu, who was sitting there with his knees propped up. Cen Yu was leaning against the chair behind him. Perhaps it was the burst of pheromones that made him feel dizzy. Surprisingly, he didn't say anything unpleasant because Wen Xihe was getting close.
Chi Jiazhen stood to the side, watching Li Chonghe about to take out an inhibitor to help Cen Yu inject it, and he spoke up—
“I used to live with Xiaoyu.”
He said, "I'll give him the injection of the inhibitor."
Li Chonghe held the syringe, seemingly ignoring Chi Jiazhen's words... He inserted the syringe into Cen Yu's arm, "No need, anyone can inject inhibitors."
He glanced at Chi Jiazhen and said, "Besides, Cen Yu's condition is unstable right now, so it's better not to upset him."
It's unclear whether this means Chi Jiazhen had a falling out with Cen Yu and it's better not to provoke him, or it's an implication that Chi Jiazhen's Beta identity is questionable.
Chi Jiazhen looked at Li Chonghe... Of course he knew who had helped him with his fake identity. The other party couldn't possibly not know that he was an Omega. It sounded like a well-intentioned reminder.
But Chi Jiazhen could only sneer when she heard this.
He laughed at Cen Shen, saying he was a fool for truly believing that his business partner had no ulterior motives in dealing with Cen Yu.
