Chapter 38: The Female Supporting Character in the ABO "Wife-Chasing Hell" Beta 7
The weather was fine and sunny; it was a beautiful day.
The Federal Parliament building was bustling with people; the huge space was packed with people.
Reporters carrying cameras and microphones were all around, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries were already seated. Even the empire had sent a number of officials, which showed how much importance they attached to this press conference.
The meeting officially began with the appearance of five federal generals, whose ranks were second only to the commander-in-chief, and who were considered great heroes who protected the country by everyone in the Federation.
Following them were the Federation's most renowned apothecaries, who had developed numerous potions and made outstanding contributions to the Federation's development.
One seat in the middle remained unoccupied, and the crowd below was buzzing with excitement. Many people were speculating whether that seat was reserved for the commander-in-chief, as they couldn't think of anyone else who could sit in that position.
Then, something happened that completely surprised them.
An extremely beautiful young woman sat in the central seat.
No one could deny that the woman was exceptionally beautiful, with porcelain-white skin, pink lips like flower petals, and silky silver hair that swayed gently. Her phoenix eyes were captivating and mesmerizing.
But why should she be sitting in that position?
Someone in the audience was loudly questioning Luo Shu about why she was sitting in that position. It was disrespectful to the old general and the master pharmacist.
The old general beside him spoke in a serious, deep voice: "Please be quiet, everyone. The person next to me is a level 10 alchemist, and also the youngest alchemy master in human history."
After saying that, the old general paused. After all, this was not his home turf. He was mainly there to support the military. Moreover, Luo Shu had reached a cooperation agreement with the military, so she was practically one of their own. He had to protect her.
The murmurs from the audience subsided somewhat, but they still lingered. Even the youngest pharmacist wasn't qualified to sit in that position.
"That's right. Even if he's incredibly talented and has already passed the pharmacist exam, he hasn't made any contribution to the Federation. Why should he be sitting there?"
The incident sparked heated discussions online, with netizens from all walks of life condemning it. Some quickly found out that Luo Shu was studying pharmacy at the Federal University and left a large number of abusive comments on the university's official website, criticizing its bureaucratic behavior and turning the website into a mess.
Luo Shu remained calm, a slight smile playing on her lips. She then turned on the speaker and said, "Hello everyone, I am Luo Shu. Today's press conference is to announce that my professors of pharmacy from the Federal University, my mentors, and I have developed a new drug, which I have named New Life."
After speaking, Luo Shu tapped her wrist-based computer, which then projected a huge image of a potion into the air. The green liquid in the test tube seemed to be alive, flowing beautifully and dazzlingly.
The audience and netizens were somewhat bewildered. It wasn't that no drugs had been released before, but why was the scale of this event so large?
On the stage, Luo Shu continued, "This rebirth potion can stimulate mental power and is suitable for all alphas, betas, and omegas. Everyone, cheer! From today onwards, the world will be changed by us."
The crowd below the stage erupted like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, everyone discussing excitedly, their faces flushed red, and many were so angry they looked ready to fight.
Netizens weren't much better off; the screen was completely covered by a dense barrage of comments, and without turning them off, you couldn't even see the newcomer.
Many reporters squeezed to the front row and shoved their microphones in front of Luo Shu's table, forcing the middle-aged general sitting next to her to come out and maintain order.
"Please be quiet, everyone. Master Luo will answer your questions one by one. Please remain silent."
It has to be said that the iron-blooded generals who came from the battlefield are different. Their imposing aura is so strong that it is as if people are seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, making people breathless. The media, who were just excited, are now quieter than kittens, obediently waiting for Luo Shu to call on them to ask questions.
Luo Shu first pointed to a federal official media outlet, and asked a very restrained question, but the reporter himself was very excited and even stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"Master Luo, is it true that the new life can stimulate everyone's spiritual power? Can anyone take it?"
Luo Shu smiled and replied, "Yes, everyone can take it. For example, after being injured by a mental energy riot, you can use Rejuvenation to heal the riot, and using Rejuvenation before a riot can prevent a mental energy riot."
Good heavens! These words made everyone present even more excited and enthusiastic, especially the alphas, who had just activated their mental power and were still somewhat skeptical.
The reason is simple: most alphas possess mental power, so they aren't particularly excited about stimulating it.
However, if this medicine could cure mental disturbances, that would be incredibly exciting for them. If the medicine was truly effective, then they would all be saved.
Alphas have an average lifespan of only 70 years, which is quite short in an era where the average lifespan is 150 years.
There's no way around it; if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
Not every alpha is lucky enough to be matched with an omega; most never meet an omega in their entire lives.
Therefore, even though they are born with strong mental power, they still have to endure mental turmoil time and time again. Each time, it will cause great damage to their health. Many powerful mecha warriors, the Alpha, eventually died from mental turmoil.
This medicine can actually solve this problem.
How could we not surprise, excite, and thrill them?
As Luo Shu spoke, she also used her AI to play a video of Zheng Ke's mental turmoil subsiding after using the Rebirth feature.
The internet was buzzing with excitement.
Zheng Ke was not blurred in the video, which was the result of careful consideration by the Federation. Sure enough, many people recognized Zheng Ke. This young lieutenant really did easily overcome the mental power surge under the effect of rebirth.
Many alphas present at the scene and watching the live stream had tears in their eyes. The mental turmoil that had plagued them for so many years was finally coming to an end.
The first question the next media outlet asked was: "Ms. Luo Shu, did you really develop this with the experts from the Alliance University? As far as I know, you are still a student who has only been in university for a year."
This media outlet clearly has ill intentions; malice is palpable.
Professor Wang and several other pharmacy masters all frowned; they would not tolerate anyone slandering their student.
Professor Wang's face was grim, and his voice was filled with anger as he said, "Do you think I know more about my student than you do? My student was the main developer of this drug. What gives you the right to spread rumors about her without any basis? As for her, she's only been studying here for a year..."
Professor Wang glanced at the man with a hint of disdain, while the old man rolled his eyes before saying, "Ordinary people shouldn't presume to understand the world of geniuses. Besides, if I developed this potion myself, why would I include Luo Shu's name? Wouldn't it be better to keep the glory for myself? Idiot."
The last two words were spoken very softly, but it didn't stump the netizens who were intently watching the press conference. Many of them understood the shape of the old man's mouth when he emphasized the last two words, and they were all amused.
Haha, isn't he just a complete idiot?
This could change the way textbooks are used around the world; who would be willing to give it up so easily?
Luo Shu raised her hand to adjust her glasses, her eyes cold and sharp, and said in a cold voice, "Please ask him to leave. This person doesn't know what respect is. I don't like him."
Two soldiers immediately pulled him away, and the surrounding media were all on edge. It seemed that Master Luo's temper was not as fragile as her appearance suggested.
"Master Luo, are you an omega? This regeneration potion seems to have replaced the function of calming the raging mental energy of alphas. What should omegas do in the future?"
Luo Shu's smile grew even brighter and more breathtakingly beautiful.
Look, what she wanted has come.
She asked softly, "So what do you think of the current living environment and social status of omegas?"
The reporter hesitated for a moment, then mumbled, "It's great. They have the best resources and the most superior material conditions. They are cared for and loved by everyone. Isn't that wonderful?"
Luo Shu's voice remained gentle. She suddenly looked towards the live stream camera, her gaze extremely sharp as she stared directly at the person sitting in front of the live stream through the camera.
"Do all the omegas watching the live stream feel the same way?"
After speaking, she gave a somewhat mocking smile, and her words carried a hint of ridicule:
"My friend, reporter, didn't you listen carefully just now? I said that this medicine can be used by everyone."
"Lieutenant Zheng, you all saw it just now, right? Newborns can also enhance their mental strength and advance it. Most omegas are born with a weak mental strength, but after using the newborn method, their mental strength is no worse than that of alphas. Why can't they go to the battlefield?"
"Did the omegas not go to the battlefield before because they didn't want to?"
Everyone looked at the woman on the stage with her unrestrained smile. Her features were exquisite, but what was even more captivating was her elegant and graceful demeanor, free and unrestrained yet powerful enough to win hearts.
Many omegas clenched their fists, looking at the person on the screen, tears already streaming down their faces. Could they also go to the battlefield?
Not everyone enjoys the life of luxury, living like a caged canary.
However, every omega is taught by those around them from birth that they are born noble and must learn aristocratic etiquette, take good care of their faces, not eat too much, and have a perfect figure so that they can find an excellent partner in the future.
Not everyone is willing to live this kind of life.
They struggled, they resisted, and they failed.
Now someone is saying that they can also go to the battlefield.
This is really great.
Mu Liuyun was also watching the live stream, and he heard what Luo Shu said: "Go to the battlefield, is that alright?"
A tiny seed is planted in the heart of an omega, waiting to sprout and grow into a towering tree that shelters from the wind and rain.
What Luo Shu just said caused a great reaction from the alpha.
Many alphas regard their omegas as their own possessions. Hearing such words now, combined with the miraculous effect of newborns in alleviating their rage, they were filled with complicated emotions and were speechless for a moment.
On stage, Luo Shu changed the subject and said, "I am not an omega, I am a beta."
The audience and the internet were in an uproar. Luo Shu's appearance was too deceptive. She was too beautiful. Even among today's celebrities, she would be the most dazzling one. Now that she was saying that she was not an omega, many people were shocked.
"Ahhh, even though you're a beta, I still love you, my wife."
"I love you, baby, so our OB relationship is perfectly justified."
Although Luo Shu is a beta, the presence of new students before her and Luo Shu's unparalleled beauty does not diminish the netizens' raunchy remarks.
"In fact, most betas do not have mental power, but newborns can stimulate their mental power, which gives them more possibilities."
"In addition, our research found that the better one's physical fitness, the faster one's mental strength upgrades, and the better the effect of using the new life."
"Therefore, everyone should improve their physical fitness as soon as possible, so that their mental strength will grow faster. This is especially true for omegas."
When she mentioned the last word, "omega," Luo Shu's eyes crinkled with a smile, and her expression was quite playful.
"Ahhh, my wife is so cute, I want to sunbathe."
The comments section was captivated by that adorable smile at the end, with everyone exclaiming "Pants flying!"
The next question came from a female reporter. She looked at Luo Shu with great respect and asked, "Master Luo, how do you solve the problem of an omega's heat cycle?"
Yes, if this problem isn't solved, omegas won't be able to go to the battlefield. If an omega goes into heat on the battlefield, their own soldiers will be doomed.
Luo Shu's smile vanished, her expression turning serious. She said, "The gland will be removed surgically."
These words caused complete silence throughout the room, and the live chat went blank for a moment.
This surgery is specifically for omegas with extremely poor physical condition, the kind whose heat cycles can be fatal.
There was even a saying that if the glands were removed, the person would be a disabled omega.
At this moment, Luo Shu actually brought up the surgery.
"Going to the battlefield to fight the Zerg is not a simple matter. If you don't have the determination to go to the battlefield, and you can't even make up your mind to have this surgery, then you may not be suitable for the battlefield. On the battlefield, death and blood are the main themes."
Luo Shu's words were somewhat blunt, but they were indeed true. The generals beside her clearly agreed with Luo Shu's words, their expressions showing satisfaction.
"I suppose you're also asking about reproduction."
Before they could speak, Luo Shu said, "They always thought that only AO combination could produce offspring with higher spiritual power, and that combining with beta would inevitably lead to a decline in the spiritual power of the offspring."
"That's because omegas naturally have a weak spiritual power, which is why their children have a higher level of spiritual power. Betas originally didn't have spiritual power, so their children had a lower level of spiritual power. But now it's different. Everyone can have spiritual power, and with their own cultivation, their spiritual power will become stronger and stronger."
"Our descendants will have increasingly stronger mental strength in the future."
"The world will be changed by us."
Amidst the turbulent times and the slow turning of the wheel of time, they entered a new era.
