Chapter 10
In the research institute, Grandpa Tang solemnly opened Xie Ruheng's file. There was an ID photo on the first page.
The handsome and gloomy young man stared straight into the camera, his hair neatly combed behind his head, his sword-like eyebrows high and steep, his thin lips sharp. Even if he sat upright, it couldn't hide his casual and unruly temperament. In the words of the older generation, he was not upright.
Xie Ruheng was born in a slum and is an orphan. His father Xie Xiao was a well-known mecha racer in the underground arena and died in a competition fifteen years ago.
His mother was an omega in the red light district, who died of illness soon after Xie Xiao's death.
At the age of five, Xie Ruheng lost the protection of his parents and became a homeless child. At the age of fourteen, he accidentally differentiated from a beta to an alpha and entered the underground arena with the code name "Rat". At the age of eighteen, he became a top racer and was admitted to the Federal Military Academy at the age of twenty.
His eyes moved downwards, landing on the densely packed analysis of the game.
Xie Ruheng has a very high winning rate. In the fiercely competitive underground competition, his winning rate reached an astonishing 97%.
His personal operating level is very stable, with no obvious shortcomings in attack, defense, layout... He is a rare combat genius.
If there is any shortcoming, it is probably in his fighting style.
The means are brutal and there is no escape.
The reporter cited the first race of "Rat".
The rules of the underground arena are that the winner can seize one-tenth of the opponent's property. If the opponent dies during the game, the winner can seize half of the opponent's property.
Generally speaking, if a player knows he is losing, he will choose to admit defeat. Once he admits defeat, the game will be forcibly stopped and cannot continue.
In Xie Ruheng's first match, his opponent underestimated him and was defeated by Xie Ruheng in one move. He had no time to react from beginning to end and did not even have time to admit defeat.
The killing was so decisive that he didn't seem like a novice at all.
From the first match till now, Xie Ruheng's attitude towards all his opponents has been to kill them if he can, which is terrifyingly cold-blooded.
At the end of the analysis on this page is a photo of the competition. Fourteen-year-old Xie Ruheng was as pretty as an omega, with outstanding features and beautiful eyes. Just looking at the photo is stunning, but what is impressive about this photo is not her superb looks, but the areas where she is not good enough.
He knelt on the tall alpha's chest, the knife in his hand deeply inserted into his neck, blood splattered on half of his face, painting that pale face with a bright color——
Like a rose fed with blood.
Evaluation: Talented, young, but extremely cold-blooded and indifferent to life. Not recommended to be a weapons tester
Mr. Tang put down the file and his eyes fell on the message sent by Tang Bai:
[Yes, Xie Ruheng is a new friend I met. He looks cold, but he is actually very gentle at heart~]
Grandpa Tang: “…”
Grandpa Tang prepared for a rainy day and took out a quick-acting heart pill, looking suffocated as if he was about to have a heart attack.
*
Tang Bai was not surprised that his grandfather knew about his trip to the slums. He knew with his toes that it was Gu Tunan who reported him. However, Tang Bai did not intend to hide it from his grandfather. He simply told his grandfather about looking for materials for writing an article. Tang Bai also asked his grandfather about the time and space characteristics of magic silver.
After a while, he received a reply from his grandfather: [Currently, only one person has triggered the time and space characteristics of Magic Silver. The time and space characteristics of Magic Silver are still under testing.]
Tang Bai had heard about that person from his grandfather before. He was an Alzheimer's patient. After triggering the time and space characteristics of magic silver, he clearly remembered everything that happened in the past.
Just as Tang Bai was lost in thought, a call interrupted his train of thought.
[Tangtang, Grandpa knows that it is human nature to pursue excitement and lust for beauty. If you think Gu Tunan is old-fashioned and boring, and his appearance is not to your liking, Grandpa will help you pick another one. You must not look for an alpha privately......]
Tang Bai: “???”
After repeatedly assuring Grandpa Tang that her feelings towards Xie Ruheng were purely admiration and that their friendship was pure, she finally stopped Grandpa Tang's nagging.
Tang Bai slumped on the sofa exhaustedly. His roommate Tong Meng asked, "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy after coming back."
"Let me ask you something. If you make a new omega friend, and then you find out that the alpha you like is dating that new friend, how would you react?"
"I feel sick." Tong Meng was so immersed in the situation that she started to frown. "I don't think I can stay calm in front of that new friend, and I won't chat with the alpha I like."
Tang Bai asked with a heartache: "What if your new friend told you that he and the alpha you like are just a fake couple, and immediately broke up with that alpha, how would you react?"
Tong Meng thought for a while and said, "It's still quite uncomfortable. Why are they pretending to be a couple? Who knows if it will become real? And why did they break up the fake relationship just for me? Could this new friend be a green tea?!"
"It's very likely a Green Tea girl's trick. She told me that they no longer had a relationship, and then turned around and said bad things about me to the alpha I liked, saying that it was because of me that they wanted to end their fake relationship." Tong Meng concluded: "What a bitch."
Tang Bai: “…”
Tong Meng: "Why do you look even more upset? Are you okay?"
Tang Bai: "...It's okay."
Tang Bai felt that the more he explained the matter, the worse it got. In the original novel, his fiancée was just a tool. Xie Ruheng did not have deep feelings for Gu Tunan at the beginning. Tang Bai's role was to make Xie Ruheng jealous and enhance the relationship between Xie and Gu.
For example, Gu Tunan, such an excellent alpha, cannot fall in love freely and can only follow the arrangements of his family and be with an omega he doesn't like. Gu Tunan is really pitiful.
For another example, this omega's attitude towards Gu Tunan is too bad. He actually looks down on Gu Tunan. He really doesn't know what's good for him. Gu Tunan is really pitiful +1.
Tang Bai: “”
Forget it, even if doing so would make him become an ungrateful omega in Xie Ruheng's heart, he would still tell Xie Ruheng that there was nothing between him and Gu Tunan!
After typing out a long string of text, Tang Bai trembled as he clicked send. After sending it, he didn't dare to read Xie Ruheng's reply and simply started writing "This Omega is a Master of Mecha Manufacturing".
The most famous novel website in the universe is called Green River, which tells lingering love stories, including sweet and affectionate love, sadomasochism, childhood sweethearts, rape and plunder, etc. The only thing is that there is no no-CP option where the omega concentrates on his career.
Career?
Isn't an omega's career to conquer an alpha through love?
Tang Bai's previous thinking also fell into this misunderstanding, but after watching "This Omega is a Marshal", his Ren and Du meridians were opened up. Love? The light of omega does not need love!
Tang Bai coldly set the protagonist CP to a mecha, and combined with what he saw and felt in the slums today, he began to write passionately, and soon, he finished the first chapter.
Copywriting? Tang Bai struggled for a long time and simply copied down Xie Ruheng's inner monologue before his death in "This Omega is a Marshal".
The next step was to create articles and send chapters. In order to increase exposure, Tang Bai spent money without hesitation to get himself on the Overlord Voting List.
At the same time, Xie Ruheng was reading the message sent by Tang Bai.
When Xie Ruheng saw the sentence "Gu Tunan and I are not in a free love relationship. Gu Tunan is the fiancé arranged for me by my family. We didn't have any emotional foundation before," he clenched his fists.
Tang Bai is such a cute omega but he cannot fall in love freely. He can only follow the arrangements of his family and be with an alpha he doesn't like. Tang Bai is so pitiful!
When he saw that "Gu Tunan doesn't like omegas like me, he thinks I'm coquettish and pretentious, he doesn't like me at all, and I don't like him either", he clenched his fist and hit his thigh hard -
Gu Tunan actually looked down on Tang Bai? He really doesn't know what's good for him!
Xie Ruheng took a bite of the macaron irritably, not knowing how to respond to Tang Bai.
He was not sure whether these were just Tang Bai's one-sided words.
As an alpha, Xie Ruheng can understand alpha's mood better than omega, and Gu Tunan's reaction tonight does not seem like he is indifferent to Tang Bai.
Is this just a tactic of the green tea group? In the end, Xie Ruheng, who was full of doubts, just replied, "I know."
In order to relieve his depression, Xie Ruheng clicked on a novel website he had just discovered today. In the morning, he read a love story between a poor alpha and a rich omega, and now he was ready to read something different.
As soon as I clicked on it, I saw that the novel website was announcing that "'Omega's Light Does Not Need Love' has donated 300 spaceships to the author 'Don't Fall in Love, Focus on Business'."
Xie Ruheng clicked on it casually and saw a familiar title. Isn’t this the novel that Tang Bai said he wanted to write?
Xie Ruheng browsed the copy with great interest:
[It is said that people will turn into a star after death. Jun Tongchen thought that the star he turned into should be distant, small, and unsocial, and deeply immersed in dark clouds, just like his life was unorthodox and unique, and deeply immersed in many impossibilities.
Jun Tongchen asked the mecha he made himself, "Can I see that day coming?"
"Yes, sir."]
Feng's eyes were startled for a moment, and Xie Ruheng read the copy again, with indescribable emotions welling up in his heart. It is said that words can resonate with readers, but he has never had such a strong resonance, as if another self in a parallel time and space had expressed his unnamed emotions vividly.
How could it be so touching?
Could it be... Could it be that Tang Bai is not only my dream lover, but also my soul mate?
Xie Ruheng opened the main text in a daze. The first chapter introduced that the protagonist was a beta whose parents had both passed away. He studied the mechanics books left by his father every day. The protagonist loved mechanical manufacturing and while digging for food in the garbage dump, he was also muttering about mechanics.
As a result, the protagonist accidentally differentiated into an omega at the age of sixteen. In the end, his omega identity was discovered by a □□ member of the slums, who intended to rape the protagonist.
The first chapter ends here. Due to the popularity of the Overlord Voting List, a steady stream of new readers come in and comment actively and cautiously:
"Is it robbery? This □□ member is not cool enough. I guess the next chapter will be the □□ boss!"
"It feels good to be rescued by a righteous and handsome federal police inspector. According to my experience of reading countless articles, the protagonist will soon be discovered by a bunch of high-quality alphas as an omega."
"The profession of mecha maker is so cool! Ahhhh, the one I admire the most is the mecha maker! But what does it mean that the CP is a mecha, and the attacker is a robot?"
"That's interesting. Are there really inner and outer areas in the slums?"
"......Didn't you notice that the author wrote that the protagonist took out a small homemade blaster from his hand?" Xie Ruheng was silent for a moment and then made this comment.
Soon a reader replied to him: "Hahaha, of course I saw it, but so what, will the protagonist still blow up this alpha?"
