After everyone left, Gu Yunzhou looked at Ji Zhaoming with some grievance and said, "They all want the master's pheromones."
Ji Zhaoming was certainly aware of this as well.
Omega pheromones are the most likely way to suppress aplha's irritability.
But he couldn't possibly trade pheromones.
Once it's opened up to research on other planets, who knows what they might discover? Ji Zhaoming only dares to give his pheromones to people he knows well.
Just as Ji Zhaoming was about to explain, Gu Yunzhou suddenly hugged him.
Gu Yunzhou said, "My master's pheromones can only be smelled by me."
This is aplha's confession.

Chapter 49
<Fell into Gu Yunzhou's trap>
At the dinner, the first and second-in-command announced the plan for the garbage planet and, incidentally, made a deal.
Planets that contribute resources, manpower, or talent have priority in bidding for the items they are researching.
It has to be said that, as someone who rose to power through connections and managed to stay in that position, his ability to make grand promises is exceptional. Even if it's just a vague possibility, the promises are big enough that even planets that originally had no intention of participating in the competition eventually gritted their teeth and got involved.
After the banquet ended, Gu He, upon learning that Ji Zhaoming was going to the Imperial Star, could no longer contain his grievances. He angrily pushed open the door to Ji Zhaoming's room and saw Gu Yunzhou, who had just escorted Ji Zhaoming back, also in the room. He snorted irritably, "What are you doing here?"
He had been holding back a lot of anger outside the door, but the moment he saw Ji Zhaoming, all that anger vanished without a trace.
Gu He thought with a touch of despair: it seemed he would never be able to get angry at his king.
Gu Yunzhou took off Ji Zhaoming's coat: "Haven't I been by my master's side all this time?"
Speaking of this, Gu He was furious.
He's always running around outside, with missions coming one after another, but what about Gu Yunzhou?
Taking advantage of his proximity to the source and shamelessly following Wang around every day, he ended up becoming the invisible man.
Gu He was well aware that he was indeed quite capable as a bounty hunter, but when it came to scheming and intrigue, he was a complete mess—otherwise, he wouldn't always be at a disadvantage in front of Gu Yunzhou. Ji Zhaoming truly valued him, which was why he sent him out on missions.
Knowing is one thing, but feeling is another. Especially seeing Gu Yunzhou and Ji Zhaoming's relationship becoming increasingly intimate, Gu He felt more and more jealous.
We all share the same surname, Gu.
and……
Seeing Gu Yunzhou almost pressed against Ji Zhaoming's back, Gu He pointed and said, "They're so close, don't they know how to avoid suspicion?"
Gu Yunzhou took off Ji Zhaoming's shawl and gave Gu He a provocative smile.
Ji Zhaoming vaguely remembered that Gu Yunzhou from the previous world seemed to have lived for a very long time, so it's no wonder that Gu Yunzhou in this world is getting older and older.
He shook his head, untied his bow tie himself, and took a handkerchief from the drawer, handing it to Gu He: "I saw you running in such a hurry, is something important? Look, you're sweating."
Gu He was used to being carefree and didn't need to use such an expensive item to wipe his sweat. He was about to refuse when he caught a glimpse of a small "Ji" character embroidered on the handkerchief, and his refusal stopped instantly.
No matter where it came from, it's still the king's property, isn't it?
Gu He took the handkerchief, but didn't even wipe his sweat. Instead, he carefully put it in his pocket before asking, "Is Your Majesty going to the Imperial Star?"
"Um."
"What's so great about going to the Imperial Star? Does Your Majesty think the Garbage Star isn't good enough? Your Majesty can wait a little longer, and I guarantee I'll make the Garbage Star just like the Imperial Star."
Ji Zhaoming stroked Gu He's head: "I was just invited to visit. Trash Planet is where I was born. How could I just abandon it?"
Gu He certainly didn't want to make such a guess on purpose.
But he had seen many people from the garbage planet, even those who went to the imperial planet to be the lowest of the low, racking their brains to try to get there.
He knew, of course, that his king was not that kind of person.
But Gu He was afraid.
Because they had never seen a treasure before, once they did, they became extremely cautious, wishing they could hold it in their hands and make it their own.
The problem is that Gu He's feelings for Ji Zhaoming are not simply about treating treasures as he would like them.
Gu He didn't want his treasure to be discovered, but on the other hand, he didn't want to keep it confined to his own possession.
He wanted Ji Zhaoming to see a wider world.
It is precisely because Gu He was born on a garbage planet that he has no way to object.
Gu He asked with a troubled expression, "When will the King return?"
Ji Zhaoming asked, "Aren't you coming with us?"
Gu He's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked incredulously, "Can I come along? I... I thought..."
He had thought that Gu Yunzhou and Wang were the only two people on this trip.
It's no wonder he overthinks things. Even on the garbage planet, Gu He frequently went out—he suspected it was Gu Yunzhou doing it on purpose. He rarely even saw Wang, and could only shamelessly go to Wang every night when he returned home.
This trip is a long journey, and given Gu Yunzhou's temperament, he would definitely want to push him far away.
The moment Gu He learned of this news, he was prepared not to go along. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and for a moment he even wondered if this was a dream or reality.
His movements were so exaggerated that Ji Zhaoming couldn't help but chuckle softly, teasing, "Aren't you my bounty hunter? What, you want to protect someone else?"
"No, no, no, I am the king." Gu He suddenly remembered something and became unusually coy, saying, "Your Majesty, I have a personal terminal now."
The two had communicated countless times using their personal computers, although most of the time it was Gu Yunzhou who borrowed Ji Zhaoming's personal computer to contact Gu He.
Suddenly brought up this topic, Ji Zhaoming asked, puzzled, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Gu He said, "Wasn't the contract signed a paper version? I'd like to switch to an electronic version to officially enter it into the StarNet. Wang, is that alright?"
He was afraid that Ji Zhaoming would refuse, so he said the last three words in a coquettish tone.
Ji Zhaoming still remembers what Gu Yunzhou said when they signed the contract.
Once the contract is signed using the quantum computer, it means that the bounty hunter has chosen him as his sole master from this day forward.
Even though Ji Zhaoming is now the city lord, he is only the city lord of a garbage planet. With Gu He's status, he could easily find a better master.
Ji Zhaoming became serious, sat up straight, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Gu He also straightened his face and nodded, saying, "Confirmed. From now on, you are the only master of bounty hunter Gu He."
He knelt on one knee in front of Ji Zhaoming, his face composed.
Ji Zhaoming was also carefully observing Gu He.
Gu He's originally thin waist has become much more normal after this period of recuperation. His body is no longer as thin as a branch. Every part of him contains an undeniable energy. His skin is a bit dark, but his eyes are surprisingly bright.
Gu He was serious.
At this moment, Ji Zhaoming clearly sensed the emotions conveyed by Gu He.
He said, "Okay."
Bounty hunters must go through a designated website to become their owners. Once a bounty hunter is linked to an owner, their identity will be publicly displayed on this website, which can be considered a form of declaration.
—If you harm the bounty hunter's master, you will inevitably be hunted down by the bounty hunter, so you need to think carefully before you take action.
The scrollbar on the website is so fast you can see the end at a glance.
Gu He said, "Master can just search for my code, 0001."
He emphasized the last word.
Bounty hunters' codes are changed every month, and they are ranked from 1 to the next according to their strength.
Gu He was in the top ten last month. After differentiating into an S-level aplha this month, he spent a whole night calculating and finally determined that his overall score would be significantly higher than the first place last month.
It's important to know that the higher you go, the harder it is to increase your overall score.
Yesterday, the numbering was announced, and Gu He successfully became the number 0001 bounty hunter.
He glanced at Gu Yunzhou with a smug look on his face.
Ji Zhaoming saw a notification message.
[Bounty Hunter No. 0001, Gu He, requests to bind with you. Do you agree?]
Clicking on it will also show you Gu He's biography.
The bounty hunter is completely open to his master, so Ji Zhaoming can see his entire life from birth to the present.
Ji Zhaoming exclaimed, "Huh? Gu He, you changed your name?"
Although his original name wasn't specified, it's clear that Gu He changed his name once through the StarNet before entering the garbage planet.
"Yes, yes." Gu He glanced awkwardly at Gu Yunzhou beside him and said in a low voice, "My original name didn't sound good."
Hearing this, Ji Zhaoming became a little curious.
He reached out his hand to agree to Gu He's request and asked, "What's your name?"
Gu He gritted his teeth: "It sounds really bad, so please don't ask, Wang."
Ji Zhaoming laughed.
Judging from Gu He's casual attitude, I thought he was the kind of person who didn't care about anything, but I didn't expect that there were things he didn't like.
What's so special about this thing being a name?
He remembered that when he went to Gu He's house, he could see that the things inside were arranged in a neat and orderly manner, which showed that his parents were cultured people. He wondered what kind of name it was that made Gu He so disgusted.
[The current city lord of Garbage Star, Ji Zhaoming, has successfully bound himself to Bounty Hunter No. 0001, Gu He.]
This message immediately redirected to the homepage of the Bounty Hunter website.
Because no bounty hunter has been paired with anyone for a long time, this message appeared directly in the first row, and in the blink of an eye, the comment section already had three digits.
Most of them were amazed that they would see the official website updated one day. Ji Zhaoming glanced at it a few times but before he could look at it more closely, Gu Yunzhou took away his personal computer.
Ji Zhaoming: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Gu Yunzhou said, "Don't look at your computer all day long; it's bad for your eyes."
Ji Zhaoming laughed and said, "I just opened it."
