Chapter 7

Tang Bai felt a chill on the back of his neck when Xie Ruheng stared at him. He shivered, and the tuft of hair on his head also trembled. "Brother Xie?"

Xie Ruheng came back to his senses, "It's getting late. I can still take you to a certain area before dark. Where do you want to go?"

Red light district, underground arena, black market.

With these three options in front of him, Tang Bai hesitated for a moment, "I want to go to the black market."

The book mentioned that there was a black market merchant named Old Man Qin, and Xie Ruheng bought the drugs that he used to pretend to be an alpha from him.

Although Tang Bai has already confirmed that Xie Ruheng is the protagonist, this matter is too absurd. He still wants to confirm it again to verify whether the real person matches the important role in the book.

The black market is located in the West District. It looks like an old residential building with four floors. The first floor is rented out as a small shop, and the doors and windows of the other floors are closed. There are even pants drying on the balcony on the second floor with electric wires.

But this seemingly ordinary residential building is the largest drug exchange, arms smuggling warehouse and place for selling various illegal items in the slum, and even human beings can be sold openly.

Xie Ruheng took out a black cloak from the car and put it on Tang Bai. The wide hood covered most of Tang Bai's face, leaving only his slender jaw exposed.

The suspended vehicle slowly descended and stopped next to a garbage truck. As soon as the door was opened, the pungent smell made Tang Bai wrinkle his nose.

The ground around the garbage truck was littered with garbage. Tang Bai even saw crawling cockroaches and dense flies. Tang Bai was so shocked that he almost fainted. He panicked and covered his mouth and nose with his hands to prevent himself from screaming.

A nest of cockroaches! The huge ones! They can even fly!!!

His out-of-place behavior attracted the attention of many people around him, but when they saw that the person standing next to Tang Bai was Xie Ruheng, those people withdrew their gazes.

Xie Ruheng took Tang Bai to the canteen on the first floor. The owner of the canteen was an old man wearing reading glasses, lying on a rattan chair with a drowsy look. "Is that Xiao Xie?" Although he didn't even look at the visitor's face, Old Man Qin revealed his identity right away.

Tang Bai stood obediently behind Xie Ruheng, looking at the old man on the rattan chair and the dazzling array of goods on the shelves behind him, including carbonated drinks, milk tea powder, stickers, bread, biscuits... It looked no different from a normal canteen, but those packages were actually full of drugs.

Xie Ruheng took out an anonymous savings card and said, "Old rules, ten tubes."

Are you buying a drug disguised as an alpha? !

Dai Mao stood up alertly, and his amber eyes stared at Old Man Qin closely.

Old man Qin slowly stood up, bent over and searched in the cabinet. After taking out ten tubes of medicine, each of which was a different color. Tang Bai guessed that there were disguise agents and inhibitors in them. Old man Qin put the medicine into a black plastic bag and handed it to Xie Ruheng tremblingly.

It was the hand of an old man, with loose skin and dense age spots. If the book had not introduced the identity of Old Man Qin, Tang Bai would not have been able to connect the old man in front of him with the most mysterious pharmacist in the black market.

Another detail has come into focus...

Even though this incident was very bizarre, Tang Bai clearly realized that he was really living in a book.

After buying the healing medicine and stimulants, Xie Ruheng turned around and saw Tang Bai looking at him seriously with a stern face, pursing his lips, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Xie Ruheng: “…?”

"This medicine is very harmful to your body." Tang Bai stammered.

The stimulants made by Old Man Qin are indeed harmful to the body, but Xie Ruheng is the ace competitor of the underground arena and often has the task of defending the ring. The competitors in the underground arena have no moral integrity and basically everyone takes drugs. Even someone as strong as Xie Ruheng has to take a dose when necessary.

“My body can handle it.”

After Xie Ruheng finished speaking, he saw Tang Bai's face with an expression that said "young people really have no self-control", which made him feel very sad.

Xie Ruheng: “…?”

Old man Qin pushed his glasses and smiled slowly: "Xiao Xie, the little omega you brought is reminding you to take care of your body."

Tang Bai nodded vigorously, afraid that Xie Ruheng would be unhappy like last time, he added in a low voice: "It's not that you are not in good health now, you are young and nothing is wrong now, what will you do when you are older?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Tang Bai thought of the age when Xie Ruheng died of illness in the book. A flash of reminiscence flashed across Old Man Qin's eyes, and Xie Ruheng......

He was born in a slum, fell asleep to the sound of stray bullets, and had the fear of losing his life at any time engraved in his bones. He had never thought about what would happen when he got old.

After a while, a hand wearing a black glove gently pulled down the brim of Tang Bai's hat, "You are thinking too far ahead."

Tang Bai's aggrieved face was shrouded in shadow. In his little head, he was calculating how likely it was that the research institute would improve the disguise agent, but the research institute would definitely not conduct such a rebellious research. So how could he reduce the health risks caused by Xie Ruheng's injection of drugs?

Go ask grandpa for help?

It doesn't seem possible.

Although Tang Bai's grandfather loves him, he will never agree to develop the drug that can turn O into A.

Unable to think of a solution for a moment, Tang Bai continued to follow Xie Ruheng to visit the black market. Entering from the first floor, Tang Bai saw four or five people sitting paralyzed in chairs in the dim corridor, injecting or taking drugs. Their teeth were black and their bodies were full of pinholes. The seriously injured ones had dozens of holes on their bodies that were oozing pus, which was chilling at first sight.

These drug addicts are just the tip of the iceberg in the slums. The huge profits brought by drug trafficking far exceed those from smuggling arms and trafficking in human beings. In the face of amazing profits, countless people have become victims.

Tang Bai's pace slowed down. He stared blankly at everything in front of him, as if he was looking at another world.

In such a world, how difficult is it for an omega to grow up safely and strive to become a marshal?

Although the book says that Xie Ruheng was not born an omega, but suddenly differentiated from a beta to an omega at the age of fourteen, fortunately, old man Qin used Xie Ruheng as a test subject to test an immature drug that could allow omegas to disguise themselves as alphas, allowing Xie Ruheng to hide his true gender.

Now let him write about an omega struggling to become a master of mecha manufacturing. How should he write it?

Even from a God's perspective, where all the plot lines serve the protagonist, Tang Bai still felt powerless and lost in thought.

At this moment, a beta raised his face and suddenly rushed towards Tang Bai with great energy. The speed was definitely not something a weak omega like Tang Bai could dodge!

Tang Bai's eyes widened, and before he could react, he was embraced by a pair of strong hands. Xie Ruheng kicked the beta away with a cold face. The terrifying force made the other party slam into the wall. He couldn't get up for a long time. The new drugs in his arms rolled out and rolled in front of Tang Bai.

"Don't be in a daze, don't touch these things, and don't eat food given by strangers." Xie Ruheng said coldly.

Tang Baiming nodded with a pale face, and followed Xie Ruheng in small steps, like a little animal afraid of being lost.

After walking a few steps, Xie Ruheng seemed to remember something and turned back. He looked into Tang Bai's watery eyes. After confirming that Tang Bai was not scared to tears, Xie Ruheng slowly added, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

——"I'm here, and no one will hurt you."

The words he heard when he came here seemed to echo in his ears. Tang Bai felt as if he had taken a tranquilizer and his heart suddenly settled back into his chest.

Tang Bai nodded vigorously and hummed softly. He gently grabbed the corner of Xie Ruheng's clothes, and when he saw that Xie Ruheng had no objection, he held on to the corner of the clothes like a small sticky cake.

The second floor is also where all kinds of prohibited items are sold, as well as stolen goods of unknown origin. The third floor looks like a large arsenal. Tang Bai recognized many weapons that were only equipped by the military. In addition, there are many spare parts and precious energy stones. It looks even more complete than the material library of the weapons research institute.

"The weapons here are not the best. The better ones are put on the third and fourth floors for auction." Xie Ruheng lowered his voice and said, "But it's enough to come here to restock ammunition on weekdays."

People were coming and going on the second floor, all of them were tall and strong, with a fierce aura. Logically, Tang Bai, an omega, should have shrunk in fear here, but in fact, Tang Bai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he looked around as if he had entered a jewelry store.

Here are the core parts for making the Backlight Blade! Oh my god, isn't this blood-red ore the material for the handle of the Solar Axe? Oh, the price of this energy stone is several times higher than the market price, no wonder some people want to be second-hand dealers...

"You can basically buy any kind of weapons you want here, but it's a pity that you can't buy the latest batch developed by the weapons research institute even if you spend money." Xie Ruheng said softly.

Tang Bai looked around and turned back. He felt that Xie Ruheng's tone was strangely familiar. Wasn't this the same tone of regret he had when he was a kid and wanted to buy a complete set of mecha models but couldn't even afford it with his pocket money?

Amber eyes once again showed motherly compassion, Tang Bai asked softly: "Do you want the 'Commander' series?"

Xie Ruheng: “…?”

Xie Ruheng: "Of course."

The third and fourth floors could only be entered when the auction started. Xie Ruheng took Tang Bai to visit the first two floors, and as it was getting late, he took them away. When they got on the floating car, Xie Ruheng saw Tang Bai shyly rolling up her skirt, revealing a section of her snow-white and slender waist. She called to Xie Ruheng softly, "Come here, I'll show you a treasure."

Xie Ruheng's pupils suddenly dilated.

After Tang Bai and Xie Ruheng looked at each other for a moment, their amber eyes became brighter, and their smiling gazes were generous and frank, so pure that there was no mixed desire. Even when their soft and slender waists were exposed, they still looked like ignorant teenagers.

Xie Ruheng's eyes darkened.

Tang Bai shyly took off the diamond-studded energy gun from his waist and handed it to Xie Ruheng, whose face was flushed with morbidity. He thought with relief, our omega light is so excited that he is so happy to see the commander series energy gun that his face is red.

Although he likes this energy gun, giving something he likes to someone he likes can bring him double the happiness.

"......This is a Commander Series Energy Gun." Xie Ruheng didn't know what to be shocked about for a moment, "How did you get this gun?"

"My grandfather is the general manager of the weapons research institute." Tang Bai held the energy gun in front of Xie Ruheng like a treasure, "This is a gift for you. This gun can only exert its power in your hands."

A huge temptation was before his eyes. As long as he stretched out his hand, this priceless energy gun would be his.

Fingertips move slightly.

Do the Tang family members always express their love in such a lavish way?

Xie Ruheng knew that Mr. Tang, the general manager of the weapons research institute, had sent someone to find him some time ago. It was said that he wanted to find a talented alpha to be a tester. However, the test was not for the "Commander" series, but a new series that has not yet been made public.

It turns out that Tang Bai is Mr. Tang’s grandson. No wonder Tang Bai knew him. Maybe Tang Bai saw him on Mr. Tang’s list of tester candidates and became interested in him?

Veteran General Tang gave one of the Commander Series weapons to his precious grandson, and Tang Bai gave it to him without blinking an eye. This is really...

Xie Ruheng felt both amused and annoyed.

"It's too expensive." Xie Ruheng pointed to the dessert bag and said, "These are enough as a reward."

His voice was not loud, but it exuded an irresistible strength.

Tang Bai's hair stood up, and he immediately caught Xie Ruheng's mood. He asked carefully: "Well...then you haven't had dinner yet, how about I make it for you?"

The flattery was too direct, causing Feng's eyes to show helplessness.

This scene is very similar to the plot of "Rich Little Omega Falls in Love with Me". The vulgar plot can be guessed from the title. The reason why Xie Ruheng knew about this novel was that after he learned at noon that Tang Bai was going to write an article, he specially searched for it on the Internet.

Then I was so disappointed that I quit after reading only three chapters.

When Xie Ruheng was reading the article, he was thinking that if he were the poor alpha boy, he would never let the omega break up his family for him, as that would be a kind of debt.

If the other party's family objects, he will climb to a high position, and when he is strong enough, he will marry the other party in a grand manner.

Such a delicate omega deserves to be held in the palm of someone's hand and cared for patiently.

What he liked was Tang Baijiao's graceful, bright and dazzling appearance.

"I'll treat you." Xie Ruheng asked, "What do you like to eat?"

Tang Bai: “…Huh?!”

Mom, I've made it! Omega Light took the initiative to treat me to a meal! If we round it off, we're friends for life!

Tang Bai's face was full of flattery. At this moment, a call came in from his computer. Tang Bai hung up the call without hesitation and said to Xie Ruheng sweetly, "I'm not picky! I can eat anything!"

No, no, this kind of answer of "anything goes" is the most difficult to deal with. Tang Bai was about to change his words when the communication sound of the computer came again. Tang Bai was afraid that the other party would keep calling, so he had to look down and found that it was actually a call from the school leader.

"Xiao Tang, it's already seven o'clock. Has your date with your alpha not ended yet?"

Xie Ruheng: “…?”

Xie Ruheng looked at Tang Baizhang with a strange expression as he spoke to the school leader with a red face.

After hanging up the call, Tang Bai said harshly: "Our school's curfew is about to expire, how about we make an appointment next time?" Damn it, damn it, damn it, did Xie Ruheng hear that the reason I asked for leave was to go on a date with that idiot Gu Tunan?!

The villain in Tang Bai's heart bit his hand silk madly. He gritted his teeth and timidly raised his eyes to look at Xie Ruheng. After meeting Xie Ruheng's teasing gaze, Tang Bai's face turned red and he lowered his head even lower. He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Xie Ruheng: Oh, I’m shy.

Xie Ruheng's lips curled up slightly, and he happily drove Tang Bai back to school in the name of being a foster alpha.

On the other hand, Director Huang was still worried about what might happen to Lonely O, so he called Gu Tunan, "......What?! You said Xiao Tang wasn't with you?!"

"How is this possible? Little Tang just told me that you would send him to school!"

Gu Tunan hung up the call, frowned, quickly put on his coat and rushed to Tang Bai's school. At the same time, Xie Ruheng's suspended car was about to stop at the school gate.

Director Huang was pacing at the school gate, wondering what was going on. When he looked up, he saw Gu Tunan rushing over.

He was about to wave, but at this moment, the lights of the suspension car dispelled the darkness, and a handsome alpha got out of the car and opened the door for Tang Bai like a gentleman.

Xie Ruheng's presence is so strong that as soon as he speaks, everyone's eyes will unconsciously focus on him.

Gu Tunan stood in the night, his gray-blue eyes covered with a layer of frost, and looked coldly at Xie Ruheng.

But Xie Ruheng only looked at Tang Bai, his eyes were deep, his tear mole was sentimental, and his gaze was extremely penetrating.

Director Huang looked left and right, and was shocked in his heart, suspecting that he had made a big mistake for the outstanding student.

This, this, this, you are playing both sides. Why didn't you tell the teacher in advance? It's not like the teacher won't cover up for you!
