Chapter 33: ABO Beta in the "Wife-Chasing Hell" Scene
Federal University occupies a vast area and is one of the top schools in the Federation, comparable to the Imperial Military Academy.
However, unlike the Imperial Military Academy, it is known for cultivating students' comprehensive qualities. It has nurtured top talents in various fields such as famous doctors, politicians, and writers, rather than the Imperial Military Academy, which focuses solely on training military forces and sending talents to the battlefield.
It can only be said that both institutions have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it depends on which school is more suitable for you.
The first morning class at most universities starts around the same time. With less than 20 minutes to go before class, students can be seen hurrying around campus, along with some riding bicycles.
Luo Shu's attire was no different from that of the other students. Unlike the Imperial Military Academy, which required students to wear military uniforms, the Federal Academy was like the universities of the past, with a strong sense of inclusiveness and no special requirements regarding student dress.
However, wherever Luo Shu passed, a path would always be made for her, just as if Moses had parted the sea. Some people would stare intently at Luo Shu until she could no longer be seen.
ABO's technology is highly advanced, and the evolution of the new humans is reflected in every aspect, including their appearance.
Just as in the animal kingdom, male peacocks with more beautiful tail feathers are more likely to win mates, genetic evolution naturally evolves in a direction that benefits the dominant species.
Therefore, in the new human society, it is difficult to see humans with particularly ugly faces anymore. Those are defective products that have been eliminated by genetic selection and have long been discarded after a long period of reproduction.
In today's new human society, even the worst people have decent features. Eight out of ten are pretty girls or handsome boys. The better their genes, the more beautiful and handsome they are. The best alphas and omegas are among the most beautiful and handsome new humans, one in ten thousand.
However, relatively speaking, there are more ordinary people with delicate features in the beta group, just like he himself is an ordinary and unremarkable one.
However, Luo Shu's appearance broke this convention.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like pools of clear water. With each glance, she possessed an elegant and refined air that captivated all who beheld her, making them feel inferior and unworthy of her presence. Yet, within that aloof and lively spirit lay a captivating charm that could not help but enthrall one's soul.
Many people were whispering among themselves: how could such a top-tier omega appear at a federal university?
Shouldn't they all go to Omega Art Academy?
Yes, almost all omegas attend omega art academies. Even omegas from impoverished families receive government support and subsidies, ensuring they can continue their education. This is because the number of omegas relative to the total population is extremely small, making them a rare resource.
Luo Shu's appearance was truly outstanding. In this new human society full of beautiful women and handsome men, she still shone like the bright moon, radiating her unique brilliance and attracting everyone's attention.
No one would think that this is not an omega.
Life is unpredictable, and Luo Shu is a genuine beta.
The moment Luo Shu walked into the classroom, the noisy classroom slowly quieted down. Everyone stared intently at the silver-haired "omega" as he walked towards them, as if in a beautiful dream. No one spoke, lost in the moment, unwilling to wake up.
Once Luo Shu sat down, she found herself in the best spot in the classroom. Although technology is advanced now and everyone uses holographic screens, there are still some old professors who admire the old ways and prefer to teach with traditional blackboards and chalk. This spot offers the clearest view.
Ring ring
The school bell rang, waking up the students from their daze. Looking at the "omega" sitting in the center, they couldn't help but blush. But she was so beautiful, they wanted to take another look.
In this eerie silence, the teacher for the first class arrived.
Luo Shu majored in life sciences and minored in pharmacy. Many people major in pharmacy and minor in life sciences.
While life science is indeed an extremely profound and potentially huge discipline, it is not impossible for someone who studies life science to make a major discovery or breakthrough, and even potentially propel the wheels of history and achieve lasting fame.
Pharmacy, on the other hand, is a relatively high-paying and high-return profession. Pharmacy professionals are scarce, and there are 4 to 10 levels of pharmacists. The higher the level, the more sought-after they are, and the better their benefits are.
Furthermore, most pharmacists in pharmacy only need to prepare the corresponding medicines based on the experience of their predecessors and check the specific completion rate of the medicines, rather than blindly exploring and innovating.
Of course, this only applies to intermediate-level pharmacists. For some master pharmacists, developing one or two widely used and stable drugs is enough to allow them to live off their savings for life.
What a great profession! It's much easier than studying those mystical things like life sciences.
It must be said that even in the interstellar era, the four major sinkholes of biochemistry, environmental science, and materials science still have biological life within them.
Luo Shu, with her powerful soul and vast time, was intrigued by life sciences, so she went to study them and explore that unknown world.
The old professor had thinning hair, a kind face, and wise, knowledgeable eyes. Every wrinkle on his face was a testament to his experience over time.
He walked up to the podium, first scanning the students below. When he saw Luo Shu, his gaze paused for a moment before he opened the smart device in his hand, selected the 3D stereoscopic projection mode, and projected the first piece of knowledge that the future students would learn.
The old professor didn't talk about anything too profound in the first class. Luo Shu already knew most of what he talked about. Even so, Luo Shu still listened to the whole class very attentively.
Until the bell rang, the professor shut down his personal computer and announced the end of get out of class. A few joyful shouts rang out in the classroom. Sure enough, the students didn't really like going to class.
Just as the professor was about to step out the door, Luo Shu went over and called out to him.
"Professor Li Guangzhao, hello, I'm sorry to take a moment of your time. I'm very interested in biomimetic mechs. I'd like to ask you, where can I find information to further explore this topic?"
Luo Shuwen's biomimetic mecha project was a project that had long been abandoned. The ultimate goal of the project was to enable everyone to pilot mechas. Undoubtedly, the project failed, and its core data was sealed away.
Now, Professor Li Guangzhao finds it somewhat amusing that a child who has just entered school is asking him about biomimetic mechs.
It's not that I'm mocking the child for overestimating his abilities, but it's like trying to fly before you can even walk—he's likely to fall hard.
He took another close look at the student who had stopped him and had to admit that the student had an extremely beautiful face and long silver hair that was even cooler than moonlight, making him breathtakingly beautiful.
"Little omega, we biology students have to take it one step at a time. Biomimicry is still a long way off for you. You should focus on mastering your major courses first."
Professor Li Guangzhao's words were not harsh; on the contrary, they carried a hint of care for the younger generation.
“Professor, I’m not an omega, I’m a beta. My name is Luo Shu. I’m a biology student who was admitted to the Federal University this year through a special admission program. The school told me that they could make an exception and let me enter a professor’s lab as a lab assistant.”
Luo Shu paused. Her current greatest interest was in biomimicry, and the last person in charge of that project was the professor in front of her, Li Guangzhao. If he wanted to continue exploring the secrets of biomimicry, he would inevitably have to enter Professor Li Guangzhao's laboratory.
Luo Shu raised her voice slightly and asked, "Professor, may I request to enter your laboratory?"
Professor Li Guangzhao looked at the student in front of him again. She said that she was not an omega, but a beta. Even he was a little surprised. Then she said that she was the first student admitted to the Federal University this year through special admission. He was even more surprised.
He knew about the first student admitted to the Federal University this year through a special admission program. The student, still a junior in high school, participated in the Biology Competition Cup and won first place—an international award.
He then published a paper in Nature, a top-tier journal that gathers the wisdom of civilization that has continued from primitive human society to the new human society. Although it is only a subsidiary journal, he must be called a young prodigy.
He had also read the paper, which was about Hera's genes. It was very well written, and it was clear that the person had a solid foundation in biology, and their ideas were not bound by conventional rules; their words were substantial.
A doctoral student's dissertation wouldn't have surprised them, but a high school student's dissertation was like a bombshell, causing a stir among the top experts in the entire Federal Biology Department.
Many big shots were preparing to recruit this student into their labs, but unexpectedly, this perfect match fell into their laps. How wonderful!
Professor Li Guangzhao is very fond of ancient human culture. When he has nothing to do and wants to relax, he likes to listen to operas, especially the Dream of the Red Chamber series.
Luo Shu noticed that the old professor's gaze was becoming increasingly gentle, and his expression was relaxing. It seemed that the matter was almost certain to succeed.
"Come on, Luo Shu, let's add each other as friends on messaging. I'll send you the information about biomimicry via my personal terminal. Before that, you need to read more books, otherwise, even a castle in the air won't have a solid foundation. I'll send you the list of books later, so please make sure to receive it."
The old professor even used a playful "oh," indicating that he really thought highly of Luo Shu.
Luo Shu nodded and added Professor Li as a friend, saying that she would definitely study it carefully. Professor Li Guangzhao said that he would conduct random checks from time to time, and if Luo Shu passed, she would be able to join his laboratory this summer.
The students around them witnessed the friendly exchange between the academic genius and the top student. When Luo Shu revealed that she was a beta, the students in the class wanted to rush over and ask if what Luo Shu said was true.
But not wanting to interrupt their conversation, and seeing that Professor Li had finally left, she seized the opportunity and strode up to Luo Shu, her face flushed, and asked somewhat awkwardly:
"Luo, um, are you an omega?"
The student who came to ask the question was a tall, 1.9-meter-tall man with strong muscles, but he was blushing and looking shy, which was quite an eyesore.
Luo Shu blinked and said, "I am a beta."
The tall boy in front of her covered his face and ran away, saying as he ran, "She's a beta."
The students in the class looked as if they had seen a ghost, all staring at each other in disbelief.
It's not their fault. Generally, once someone is detected to have differentiated into an omega, they are taken to a school that specializes in training omegas, rather than being raised as a mixed ABO.
One reason is that alphas and omegas are more susceptible to the influence of pheromones, and if they live together, the omega is more likely to be harmed.
Another reason is that omegas are physically weak and have sensitive personalities, requiring regular psychological counseling and health checkups, making it inconvenient for them to be with alphas or betas.
Therefore, many betas and alphas from ordinary families had never seen many omegas before entering university, let alone shared a classroom with them. The alphas and betas who were overjoyed when Luo Shu walked into the classroom just now looked ashen-faced.
Luo Shu ignored the wails of her classmates and opened her smart device to receive the information and long list of books sent by Professor Li.
Some of these books can be downloaded directly online, while others need to be purchased. Luo Shu glanced at her class schedule and realized she only had one class in the afternoon, so she planned to go to the library during that time to look for them.
Although 98% of books have now moved from print to digital format and are stored in virtual computers, viewing most of them still requires payment.
Perhaps it's a romantic notion deep in our genes, but printed books still have a broad market. Even federal universities have huge libraries that house a vast collection of books for students to browse.
Luo Shu was going to the school library that afternoon.
The school bell rang again, and this time a middle-aged female pharmacist came with a rather stern face.
In the first lesson, she first led the students to study the ingredient list of the calming potion, then explained the medicinal effects of various plants and extraction methods, and then calmly announced: the next lesson is to go to the laboratory to prepare the calming potion.
The students present were left dizzy and disoriented by the explosion, and then the bomb disappeared without a trace.
The Concentration Potion is a Level 3 potion. Although the students present have been studying pharmacy since high school, they only know the basics. Those who can prepare Level 1 or Level 2 potions are extremely rare. They never expected that the teacher would ask them to prepare Level 3 potions in the lab in the next class.
The classroom was filled with groans, but Luo Shu remained calm, standing out among the students. Someone mustered up the courage to approach her and ask, "Luo Shu, are you confident in your ability to concoct the mind-calming potion?"
Luo Shu's aura was like frost and snow, stern and aloof, making people afraid to get close to her.
She remained as calm as ever, saying, "I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure."
You're still so calm? No wonder you're a top student, your mindset is so stable.
