Chapter 101 Top Alpha: He was once a crippled Omega. 11. Sinking...
"right."
Qi Pingye's attention was focused on the three people, and he did not notice Shen Wu's unusual behavior.
Not wanting to be too conspicuous, he turned slightly to the side, hiding his face behind the porthole, and casually said, "It was a family marriage, arranged since elementary school, but he thought I was a wild boy, and I thought he was a disgusting person, so we rarely interacted."
"Back in middle school, this bastard remembered me and tried to play the hero, sending people to bully me. I dragged him out and slapped him until his head was swollen like a pig's. After that, he avoided me."
"Before I was thrown to Zorro Planet, he was already involved with Qi Mingzhao. What a perfect match."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wu's back relaxed slightly, and he said softly, "Shouldn't they be on the central star? How come they're at the border?"
There must be something fishy going on if things are not going well. Qi Pingye knew this, so he said, "You rest in the cabin first. I'll go out and find out something."
“I’ll go,” Chenwu said. “They don’t know me.”
"It's okay, I'll disguise myself and they won't recognize me."
As he spoke, Qi Pingye turned around and rummaged through his luggage to find some other things he had bought at the black market in the second-tier city.
"What's this?"
Shen Wu watched curiously as Qi Pingye picked up some soft, mud-like substance and smeared it on his handsome face.
“Some biomaterials that are insoluble in water and fat, and the latest type of flawless cosmetics,” Qi Pingye replied.
Shen Wu stared at him, and in the blink of an eye, his face seemed more unfamiliar and less familiar. His features hadn't changed much, but without realizing it, he seemed like a completely different person.
Qi Pingye disguised himself as a masculine but ordinary young man, the kind who would be lost in a crowd, and whose appearance bore no resemblance to his previous one.
As for his appearance, there's no need for disguise. Two years of life on Zorro Star, plus the second differentiation, have made him completely different from Qi Pingye on Central Star.
Shen Wu was shocked by Qi Pingye's ability to completely transform himself. She moved closer to him and examined him carefully. "Did you learn this at the First Military Academy on Central Star?"
Is your military academy even legitimate? Why does it teach everything?
Qi Pingye understood Shen Wu's subtext and laughed: "Unless you join the intelligence agency, schools don't teach this stuff. Only in places like Zorro Star, full of extraordinary people, is there a chance to learn this kind of thing."
He explained simply: "I was repairing things for people, and they couldn't pay me, so they used this to pay off their debts and taught me. But that person was too cunning and only taught me the basics; I figured out the rest on my own."
Shen Wu clearly understood that there were many talented and extraordinary people on Zorro Star, but most of them were not good people.
"You should bring some when you go out."
Qi Pingye said, "I don't know who the important figure from the Central Star that the City Lord of Ganlu City contacted is, but to be on the safe side, we should still put on a disguise and not let Qi Mingzhao and the others remember your kindness."
Shen Wu nodded, offering no objection.
Qi Pingye hadn't planned to use these biological materials, which were no cheaper than medicines, so soon, but things just didn't go according to plan.
After disguising himself, Qi Pingye told Shen Wu to rest, then opened the hatch and went out.
The journey from the second satellite to the distant satellite takes nearly a week. All the eating, drinking, and relieving oneself must be done on the spaceship. The conditions cannot be too harsh, so the two of them booked second class this time, which is much better than third class. There are double rooms with bunk beds and private bathrooms, which is convenient for rest.
Qi Pingye came out of the cabin, glanced around, then took out a cigarette, pretending to smoke it, and walked to the smoking area near the spaceship entrance.
Many people here caught a glimpse of the obviously extraordinary group and whispered among themselves while smoking cigarettes.
"Is it the young master of the Qi family?"
"That's right, it's the Beta we found a couple of years ago, who was later revealed to actually be an Omega, and quite famous..."
"How did we get to the border?"
"You didn't know that? It's all over the internet. They say that Young Master Qi was the top mechanic in last year's military competition, and the Qi family is making a big fuss about it. Apparently, he's going to get promoted, and before that, he'll have to do border training and earn military merits..."
"Is he really going to be promoted? If he's promoted again, he'll be a senior colonel, right? If he pulls some strings and takes that leap to general, then the Qi family's influence in the military will be completely unblocked..."
"Such important figures shouldn't be traveling on our public airship, even at the border. No matter how good first class is, it can't compare to a private aircraft or a military vessel, can it?"
"Young Master Qi has always been like this. He always travels by public transportation, keeping a low profile and being approachable. I heard that even after returning to the Qi family, he never spends money extravagantly and is gentle and kind, quite different from that troublemaking imposter from before..."
As the troublemaker the passengers were talking about, Qi Pingye leaned against the side, smoking a cigarette, listening with great interest, and occasionally chiming in: "Speaking of which, does anyone know where that counterfeit went?"
"I don't know," the nearby passengers chatted casually. "A couple of years ago, I heard they moved out of the Qi family's house to make a living on their own, and all that, but then we stopped talking about them. They probably didn't do well and just settled into mediocrity..."
One passenger scoffed, "Even if he's doing poorly, he's still an A-grade Omega. How could he really be silent? If he just showed a little bit of his pheromones, a bunch of people would fawn over him. Now that he's not showing his face, who knows, he might be being kept by someone, becoming a mistress or concubine. He might even be making a fortune on the black market."
"I did see a post about a wealthy family, saying that he was resentful and tried to use dirty tricks on the young master Qi, but the Qi family found out and kicked him out of Central Star. Now his whereabouts are unknown..."
"They deserved it."
"Tsk tsk..."
On Zorro Star, apart from the homes of important figures in Ganlu City, no other place could even touch the edge of the Star Network, let alone surf the Internet. It can be said that Qi Pingye hadn't really learned about the outside world for two whole years.
I came out of Zorro Star a while ago. First, I was on the spacecraft, but the signal was bad. Then I encountered a storm and fell into a coma. It was not easy to wake up. I have been busy until now and haven't had time to check the StarNet.
Therefore, he still doesn't know the story of what happened two years ago.
Now that we know, it's not all that complicated.
The Qi family can't possibly admit they were wrong; they'll definitely pin the blame on him.
Qi Pingye subtly steered the conversation, getting information out of her for a while, and gradually made up her mind.
Not long after, the spaceship takeoff announcement came on. He stubbed out his cigarette and followed the scattered passengers back.
After walking for a while, a commotion suddenly came from behind.
Qi Pingye glanced to the side and saw the middle-aged male Alpha who had speculated that he had no bottom line when it came to being a mistress.
On his way back to the cabin, Alpha's pants suddenly ripped, revealing his bright red underwear and two white buttocks, which caused a burst of laughter from those around him.
He yelled at them, his face turning red, telling them to stop laughing, but no one paid him any attention. So he buried his head in his hands and ran back to his cabin, but he tripped and fell flat on his face because he was running too fast.
Qi Pingye withdrew his gaze, his fingers tracing the blade hidden in the buckle of his belt, and stepped forward.
Qi Pingye doesn't hold grudges, because he settles most of his scores on the spot. As for the few he doesn't settle, he'll settle them sooner or later.
"How about it?"
Back in the cabin, Shenwu immediately asked.
Qi Pingye, reeking of cigarette smoke, didn't approach him. He pulled off his coat and briefly explained the situation.
Shen Wu scrutinized him: "Are you planning to take revenge now?"
Qi Pingye leaned against the bedside, shook his head, then nodded: "Whether it's Qi Mingzhao or Qi Yousheng, it doesn't matter if they get beaten up or injured at the border. It's part of the training. They may be unwilling, but the Qi family won't interfere or take it seriously. But if something irreparable happens to them, like having a gland removed, then the Qi family will definitely go crazy, and they won't be able to escape the border either."
"So, before I have the power to confront or overthrow the Qi family, even if the enemy is right in front of me, it's not easy to take revenge, but collecting some interest is still possible. To be honest, if they were all holed up in the Central Star, I really wouldn't have any way to deal with them. I could only go to the Far Voyage Star first and deal with them slowly. But they just happened to come to the border..."
"We still need to be careful," Chen Wu whispered, as if she had sensed something.
"Yes, I will." Qi Pingye smiled.
The spaceship would be traveling for at least a week, and he planned to find an opportunity during that week to ask Qi Mingzhao and Qi Yousheng for some interest.
Therefore, Qi Pingye adjusted his actions on the spaceship, subtly observing the overall structure of the spaceship and the situation in the first-class cabin, and making time to maintain his physical exercise.
His tentative action time was the fourth day of the journey, when the public spaceship would dock at a modified planet for resupply and passenger transfers. The situation would be rather chaotic, making it a good time to get things done.
Qi Pingye made plans in his mind and made full preparations for it.
But just before he was about to take action, and on the eve of the spaceship's arrival at the transit planet, an accident disrupted his plans.
That night, after dinner, Qi Pingye greeted Shen Wu, who was studying on the StarNet, and left his cabin as usual to go to the training area at the rear of the second-class cabin for basic training.
After practicing for about half an hour, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Immediately afterwards, the spaceship's all-channel broadcast announced: "Attention passengers, a male Alpha at the junction of first and second class is suspected of being out of control during his susceptible period, releasing a large amount of highly aggressive Class B Alpha pheromones, which are invading the heads of the first and second class cabins."
"All Alpha and Omega passengers, please use suppressants or pheromone modulators immediately to ensure your safety. Meanwhile, the ship's purification system is fully activated, and the isolation rooms are unlocked. If any passenger feels unwell, please proceed to the isolation room as soon as possible..."
"To reiterate, passengers, please pay attention..."
Amidst the loud announcements, the chaos in the second-class cabin intensified, with urgent shouts rang out.
Qi Pingye's heart skipped a beat. He tore off his boxing gloves and rushed out quickly.
His and Shen Wu's cabins were at the head of the second-class cabin, very close to the scene of the incident. Although Shen Wu had recovered from her fever two days ago, the uncontrolled release of B-level Alph pheromones had a significant impact, and Shen Wu was definitely not safe.
Qi Pingye ran out of the training area in a few steps and came to the corridor.
Most of the second-class passengers had retreated into their cabins, but there were still quite a few people in the corridor, some pale-faced, others staggering in panic, rushing toward the isolation room. Clearly, none of them could withstand the pheromone invasion.
Qi Pingye walked quickly forward against the flow of people, scanning the crowd for any signs of fog as he ran towards his cabin.
Approaching the head of the second-class cabin, a strong citrus smell immediately hits you, almost suffocating you.
Several people were lying slumped over not far away. They must have been overwhelmed by the out-of-control Alph pheromones due to their low pheromone levels. The medical Betas dispatched by the spaceship were carrying them onto stretchers.
Qi Pingye didn't feel any suppression, but the smell was really pungent.
He covered his mouth and nose, went to the cabin, and swiped his card to enter.
Upon entering the cabin, Qi Pingye smelled a faint yet chaotic scent of cold, misty roses.
The young man emanating this scent was leaning against the bed, his eyes closed, his fingers hanging down, his fingertips pinching a pheromone regulating patch that had been torn in half.
Qi Pingye's heart tightened, and he immediately went over to help the person up: "Chenwu, Chenwu! Wake up!"
Chenwu was weak and unresponsive.
Qi Pingye closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down, and quickly checked his condition.
The young man was breathing rapidly, his pulse was fast, and his pheromones were erratic. It didn't seem like he was being suppressed by Alph pheromones, but rather like he was experiencing a temporary coma due to pheromone imbalance.
His last fever didn't come naturally; it was induced by a pheromone, which already affected his pheromones. Now that the abnormal fever has just passed, he's being attacked by B-grade Alph pheromones again, so his pheromones could very well suddenly become disordered.
Qi Pingye glanced carefully at the back of Omega's neck again, confirming his judgment.
"We still have to go to the isolation room..."
He thought to himself.
The fog-shrouded conditions aren't particularly dangerous, but staying in the cabin is definitely not safe. The isolation room can completely block out external pheromone interference, and there's also a medical pod, so any unexpected situations can be handled easily.
Qi Pingye made up his mind, took the pheromone regulating patch from Chen Wu's hand, tore it open, and stuck it on the back of the Omega's neck. He then took out two vials of inhibitors and put them on, before tearing off his coat, wrapping it around the person, picking him up with one hand, and quickly leaving the cabin.
The isolation rooms in second class were near the safety passage. When Qi Pingye arrived with Chen Wu, both rows of isolation rooms were lit up with red lights. Only the last one at the back had a green light, indicating that it was vacant.
Qi Pingye immediately went over, took out his ID card, and was about to swipe it to open the door.
But just then, a shadowy figure suddenly rushed out from the side and kicked him directly: "Get out of the way! We want this isolation room!"
