If he's not mistaken, he'll be dealing with these things for a long time in this world.
It got quite late as they tidied up, so Qin Chu decided to stay overnight in the studio, since it was a private studio for one person.
But Noah stopped him, saying only one sentence: "Sir, you are an Omega now."
Helpless, Qin Chu could only open the studio door and walk out.
It was completely dark outside, but the lights were still on.
Qin Chu hadn't paid much attention when he arrived, but now that he was leaving the art studio and heading towards the dormitory area, he noticed a huge open-air stadium in the corner between the art studio and the dormitory.
Now all the lights in the stadium are on, making the surrounding area brightly lit.
The stadium was bustling with noise, especially the basketball court closest to the road. It was surrounded by people, mostly Omegas and Betas in art school uniforms.
Without even thinking, just by smelling that smell, Qin Chu knew it must be a group of military academy students playing basketball.
Before even getting close to the basketball court, Qin Chu took out a mask from his pocket and put it on.
He didn't know how other Omegas felt when they smelled this scent, but when he came into contact with these incredibly strong alpha pheromones, all he wanted to do was beat them all up.
Qin Chu was suddenly stunned when he thought of this.
If that person were here, he probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Because to him, every alpha was equally deserving of a beating.
Seemingly because he was thinking of someone unpleasant, Qin Chu glanced casually at the basketball court as he passed by.
His steps suddenly stopped.
A loud cheer erupted from the area closest to the edge of the field.
The figure leaped high and landed, easily regaining its balance with a slight bend in the knees. The rim on the backboard trembled, followed by the sound of the basketball hitting the ground.
The cheers immediately rose even higher.
The person standing under the basket shamelessly tilted his head back and whistled, then pulled at the collar of his black T-shirt to wipe his sweat, revealing a lean and muscular waist.
His icy blue eyes, gleaming with a smile, glanced around casually as he wiped away sweat, eliciting screams from the onlookers that nearly shook the night sky.
Seemingly startled by the scream, he abruptly took a step back, turned to look at his teammate, and said something.
Judging from his lip movements, he was probably expressing his appreciation for the audience's enthusiasm.
This person is like a spotlight in the dark, dazzlingly flamboyant, yet utterly captivating.
Qin Chu watched him bump his teammate's shoulder, watched him retreat to the edge of the court and sit down, watched him unscrew a bottle of condensed ice water and take a few sips, and watched him magically produce a hair tie and tie his messy curly hair into a bun at the back of his head.
The person, biting their hair tie, looked up and, across the dense crowd of students and the brightly lit sports field, their eyes met for a fleeting moment.
Qin Chu smiled when she saw him sucking on the hair tie.
The smile had no other meaning; it seemed to be nothing more than a polite greeting after suddenly meeting someone's gaze.
But because of that appealing face and that somewhat mischievous expression, the smile took on an unusual flavor.
Suddenly snapping back to his senses, Qin Chu withdrew his gaze.
It wasn't him.
Although... they look very similar.
They had the same messy, naturally curly hair, the same amorous peach blossom eyes, and the same wicked smile... but some things were different.
Qin Chu was very familiar with the feeling that the mission target brought.
While both were wicked, his wickedness was aggressive. Qin Chu knew very well that being around him meant he could easily stumble and even be in mortal danger.
However, the military academy student on the field did not.
But they look too alike.
This made Qin Chu wonder if Qin Rui were still alive, if Qin Rui had grown from fifteen to twenty years old, then he might look just like this standing on the training ground.
She greets her companions cheerfully, making the opposite sex around her blush and their hearts race; every move she makes exudes a breathtaking vitality and charm.
stop.
Qin Chu forced himself to stop.
Qin Rui is dead.
Having witnessed Ti Rong's death in the last world, Qin Chu was shocked but didn't feel much.
Because he knew that Tyron would be resurrected in the next world.
But Qin Rui is different.
Qin Rui left, and that's it for good.
Looking back again, Qin Chu heard someone shout from the field: "Levy, you're coming on next!"
"Sure, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." The person sitting to the side with their hair tied up responded, casually took the ball, and went back onto the field.
Levy.
So that's what it was called.
Qin Chu withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the dormitory.
Back in his dormitory, Qin Chu was puzzled as to why the base needed a dedicated art studio, since the dormitories were also single-occupancy.
Qin Chu was worried about being in the same room with someone before, not because he disliked outsiders, but because this world was too strange. Apart from the beta, everyone had their own body odor.
Even if it's a dormitory, and everyone living there is an Omega, it's like sleeping in a pile of perfume.
"To address this issue, the accommodations here are all enclosed to ensure we are not affected by other people's pheromones," Noah explained. "The same applies on the arena; it's mainly to prevent Omegas from going into heat."
Qin Chu's expression froze for a moment again; he didn't really want to think about the "heat" issue.
“But you don’t have this problem,” Noah added. “If you look at the data carefully, you’ll find that I’ve marked you as an abnormal Omega. You don’t have pheromones, so you don’t have the problem of being in heat.”
Qin Chu was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected such a good thing. However, he was also a little confused: "Doesn't this mean it's essentially a beta version?"
"That's different."
As for why it's different, Noah sent Qin Chu the anatomical diagram of a male Omega, saying, "You have all the necessary physical attributes. If I had to say, it might be that you have some difficulty conceiving..."
Qin Chu ignored these words with a blank expression. After washing up, he lay down on the bed and reached out to pull out a picture book.
Because a painter's consciousness resides within his data body, Qin Chu can only try his best to follow the painter's usual routine in order to ensure the stability of this consciousness.
But this was quite a challenge. After staring at a picture book for half an hour, Qin Chu successfully fell asleep.
The next morning, Noah had already calculated the mission lines for this world.
As Qin Chu had anticipated, he needed to complete the remaining matches and try to achieve a good result.
The purpose of this mission is not only to change the intricacies of this world, but also to ensure the survival of the painter's consciousness, which coexists with Qin and Chu within a single data entity.
In addition, since there are many human consciousnesses in this world, Noah wants to develop an extra mission line. However, this requires Qin Chu to travel around in crowded places as much as possible so that he can calculate the density of human consciousness.
In any case, learning to draw properly is still the most urgent task.
Qin Chu left home early in the morning and headed towards the art studio.
When Qin Chu went out, he ran into his roommates who lived in the same building. He was about to drag Noah out to identify him when he found that they completely ignored him and left with smiles on their faces.
Qin Chu was happy to have some peace and quiet and didn't pay any attention.
After leaving the dormitory, Qin Chu watched as the Omegas walked in another direction, which seemed to be the training ground for military academy students.
On my way to the art studio, I passed by the basketball court from last night again. It was deserted and there was no one there at all.
Qin Chu glanced at it and then looked away.
He hadn't noticed it last night, but today, after seeing the surrounding facilities and layout, Qin Chu realized the true purpose of this base.
This holiday training base mainly consists of two academies: one is an art academy primarily for Omega and Beta students, and the other is a military academy where single Alphas are plentiful.
The military academy is responsible for perimeter security patrols, and its teaching base is separate from that of the art academy.
But there's a stadium sandwiched between the teaching area and the dormitory area, and it's the only stadium there.
They practically wore their desire for a social gathering on their faces.
Qin Chu couldn't help but think of the situation at their academy in reality.
Regardless of gender, entering a military academy involves several years of closed-door education. Upon graduation, they are immediately sent on missions, leaving no time to find a partner except for internal relationships.
However, military academies have a rule that strictly prohibits romantic relationships on campus.
This unreasonable rule was added when Qin Chu first became the principal, and it was met with strong opposition from many parents.
Later, the military academy had no choice but to sign an agreement with a nearby comprehensive university, as it couldn't allow all the students in the academy to remain single.
Every year, the military training for freshmen at comprehensive universities is conducted by students from the next level of military academy. Whether or not you can find a partner then depends on your own abilities.
After practicing basic skills in the art studio all morning, Qin Chu heard some noise coming from the teaching building and went out to take a look.
A group of art students were gathered in the corridor.
Following Noah's instructions to "join in the fun," Qin Chu is now going wherever there are people.
But he regretted it as soon as he got into the hallway.
I really shouldn't have come.
Presumably to encourage the participants, the base hung all the paintings from the top few winners of the preliminary round in the corridor.
General Qin's casually sketched "pot lid" won first place, and now it's been enlarged and hung in the most conspicuous place. Anyone with eyes can see this mesmerizing patch of dark purple with just a glance.
Qin Chu looked at the painting and then at the comments below.
Bold use of color.
Actually, it was just random scribbling.
The brushstrokes return to simplicity and authenticity.
Overthinking it means you don't know how to embellish it at all.
It has a unique artistic conception.
Yeah, it's all based on my imagination.
Qin Chu watched it with a blank face, feeling that he had never been so humiliated in his life.
Fortunately, it seems that due to the lack of pheromones, Qin Chu's data entity was not well-liked in the base, so no one was watching him.
