Whether you have one Omega or three, it's all the same – it's incredibly troublesome.
What's amazing is that the remaining two Omegas are the brothers Ye Lele and Ye Yueyue, making the whole dorm complete.
Although the two of them really, really didn't want to be on the same team as Ruan Mingchu and Hao Youyou, the team leader was Mu Yu, and for such an excellent Alpha, they could endure it!
The teams were formed, and it was only mid-afternoon. Surprisingly, the instructors didn't let us continue training but instead distributed the supplies and told us to go back and rest.
Alphas with a strong competitive drive don't need to rest; they wander around the camp, inquiring about the situation outside.
We'll go wherever there are many star beasts, and wherever the star beasts are of a high level!
Those with strong initiative, like Mu Yu, have already slipped away to conduct on-site surveys.
Ruan Mingchu was checking the supplies in his dormitory.
As the saying goes: "An army marches on its stomach."
Five days isn't a long time, but it's not short either. Especially going to an unfamiliar place with a group of strangers, and having to fight star beasts for points, it's bound to be a tough time if you're not prepared with supplies.
Ruan Mingchu carefully read the notice. Since there was no prohibition on bringing your own items, he put the medicine and some small items that he might need but wouldn't take up much space into the supplies bag. He also replaced some instant noodles, freeze-dried vegetables, fruits and meat with nutrient solution.
He doesn't have any particular taste preferences, but if he had to pick the food he's most comfortable with, it would be a nutritionally complete and convenient liquid diet.
The original flavor nutrient solution, in particular, has a smooth texture and a refreshing aroma. The other flavors are either salty or sweet, and the spicy one is the worst; my lips were swollen after drinking it.
A must-have nutrient solution for marching!
You deserve it.
At 7:00 a.m., the 500-person team was taken aboard aircraft, equipped with positioning, automatic scoring systems, and distress devices, and then deployed to different locations.
Ruan Mingchu, Mu Yu, and others were thrown into a wetland.
Each team leader was given half an hour to memorize the map before the deployment. After observing the environment, Mu Yu said, "Small D-level star beasts, the snakes, are frequently seen here. The ground where the snakes are active has many fist-sized holes. We're heading south. Watch your step as you walk."
The grass reached their knees, the mud clung to their shoes, and every now and then a small puddle appeared.
The most annoying thing is the little bugs hiding in the grass. They sneak up and bite you, and by the time you feel the bite, you've developed a bump that's itchy and painful.
Hao Youyou has delicate skin, and a big red bump appeared on her neck. It was such a small thing that it wasn't worth having someone give her a "holy light" treatment, but she couldn't help scratching and clawing at it.
Ruan Mingchu found out some ointment for him: "Try this."
Then they took out insect repellent and had everyone take turns spraying it on themselves.
Everyone was overjoyed, as if they had found a treasure.
"Wow, it smells familiar."
"Thank you so much, thank you so much."
"Luckily you had it, I was almost bitten to death, thank you Ruan Ruan."
Hao Youyou kicked him: "How dare you call me Ruan Ruan? Call me Brother Ruan!"
The Alpha felt wronged, but under Hao Youyou's tyrannical power, he still obediently called her "brother."

11. This Omega is becoming increasingly "strange" in showcasing his strength.
Everything was peaceful here, but the mosquito repellent took a turn for the worse once it reached Ye Lele's hands.
He first sprayed himself and Ye Yueyue with a lot of spray, and then used up almost half a bottle.
He then examined the mosquito repellent from all angles, asking, "Why is there mosquito repellent in your supply pack, but none of ours?"
Ye Lele's aggressive manner made it seem as if Ruan Mingchu had committed some serious crime and colluded with the instructor to give him special treatment.
With a thought, Ruan Mingchu pulled the mosquito repellent from Ye Lele's hand and took it into his own.
While wiping the bottle with a wet wipe, she said slowly, "It's because I put the mosquito repellent in my supplies bag."
Ye Lele was so enraged by Ruan Mingchu's extremely insulting gesture that she almost had a heart attack. But now that she heard Ruan Mingchu admit it himself, she finally felt a little better: "You brought mosquito repellent without permission, that's against the rules, I'm going to report you!"
Ruan Mingchu shrugged indifferently, as if looking at an idiot: "Go ahead, there are 888 rules for the assessment, and none of them forbid bringing your own things."
These words caused Ye Lele to have a heart attack, and the others were also shocked.
Hao Youyou voiced everyone's thoughts: "Brother Ruan, you actually read all those tens of thousands of words of tedious and long rules?"
Good heavens, who can even stand reading this?! He only ever reads the headlines of this kind of stuff.
Ruan Mingchu glanced around and, seeing the bewildered and surprised expressions on everyone's faces, was even more shocked: "How can we conduct the assessment without reading the rules?"
Just like going to war without weapons, even the most skilled bare-handed fighter will hurt their fists. How can you exploit the rules to your advantage if you don't understand them?
Hao Youyou felt guilty under the instructor's gaze: "I... I just listened to what the instructor said."
Ruan Mingchu's lips twitched as the instructor spoke only a few words.
"So none of you brought any essentials?"
He looked at Gong Zhushen, who was a meticulous person and shouldn't be as careless as Hao Youyou.
Gong Zhushen struggled to say, "The essential supplies are all in the package."
“Very well,” Ruan Mingchu coldly stuffed the mosquito repellent and ointment back into his bag. “I don’t need the mosquito repellent, so I’ll thank you on behalf of the insects for your understanding.”
No one dared to say a word, only daring to glare at Ye Lele, who had stirred up trouble.
If he hadn't caused this mess, none of this would have happened!
Ye Lele never expected that failing to win over Ruan Mingchu would instead make others dislike her.
Sure enough, Nguyen Minh Thu was a menace!
The road was difficult to walk, and she was in a bad mood. After walking for less than an hour, Ye Lele started to complain that she wanted to rest: "I can't walk anymore, I just can't walk anymore. What's wrong with resting for a while?"
She even ran to Mu Yu's side and pleaded, "Brother Mu, let's rest for a little while, just a little bit~"
Mu Yu agreed with a dark face and stayed away from Omegas, saying that Omegas were a lot of trouble.
The ground was wet, so you couldn't sit down unless you put your supply pack under your bottom.
However, the supply packs were not waterproof, so everyone could only rest standing up.
Stopping to rest was a relief for Hao Youyou. Although she wasn't physically tired, the constant sticking to her shoes and wading through water was mentally exhausting.
Hao Youyou whispered in Ruan Mingchu's ear, "Brother Ruan, did you bring anything to sit on?"
Ruan Mingchu did bring it; he found it in the suitcase Hao Youyou insisted on giving him. It was a portable plastic stool, which was no bigger than the palm of his hand when folded and didn't take up much space.
However, he only brought three in total, and hadn't originally planned to take them out because it would be unfair to divide them equally. But since Hao Youyou mentioned it, Ruan Mingchu took them out anyway, just two, one for him and one for Hao Youyou.
As for the others, Alphas clearly didn't need them. Although they were supposed to be stopping to rest, they couldn't resist going around looking around.
The only ones he needs are Ye Lele and Ye Yueyue. Does he look like a saint who's good to people he hates?
An ordinary, tasteless plastic stool that they would never normally give a second glance to, is now the center of attention.
Ye Lele watched as Hao Youyou arranged the stools, one for him and one for Ruan Mingchu, and asked incredulously, "Where are ours?"
Hao Youyou burst out laughing: "Oh my god, am I your father or your mother? Do I have to remember to bring you things?"
Ye Lele's face darkened: "We're all on the same team, you can't hog all the food."
"Hehehe," Hao Youyou made a face, "Everyone knows you were unwanted, Mu Yu only took you in out of kindness."
"You!" Ye Lele was so angry that her mouth twisted.
"Ah—" The sudden appearance of a dark shadow from under Ye Lele's feet turned his voice into a scream.
Mu Yu appeared beside him in an instant, a faint red light swirling around his palm. With a swift movement, the snake fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.
This is a basic skill for offensive professionals: [Local Sharpening]. Mental energy is wrapped around the hand, transforming it into a hand blade. The user can sharpen any area according to their preference.
Ye Lele cried, tears streaming down her face, "You scared me to death!"
He was waiting for Mu Yu to comfort him, but Mu Yu, with a dark face, questioned him: "I told you to watch your step, what are you doing?"
Ye Lele didn't feel she was in the wrong: "They're tired and need to rest, how could they have the energy to keep watching?"
Ye Yueyue chimed in, "Brother Mu, my brother was almost scared to death, how could you still scold him?"
Pastoral metaphor: ...
Good grief, he warned us to watch our step because there were many snakes around, and yet he screamed in fright because of them, and he still thinks he's right?
When Gong Zhushen saw that Mu Yu's anger was about to explode, he hurriedly grabbed Mu Yu's sleeve and scolded the Ye brothers: "This is an assessment, not some child's play. Brother Mu is willing to take you along because he is responsible."
"We don't expect you to score points, we just expect you not to drag us down. If you keep causing trouble, don't blame us for leaving you here. Anyway, with the instructors with you, you won't die!"
Ye Yueyue burst into tears as well. She looked at the Alphas around her, but all of them looked at her with condemnation. The two of them could only weep silently.
Mu Yu earned one point for slaying a D-rank serpent, raising the automatic scorer from zero to one. The serpent's corpse was also transported to a designated location in the camp via a teleportation device. The star beasts they killed during the assessment were not discarded indiscriminately. Smaller ones were directly teleported, while larger ones were collected by designated personnel, as star beast meat could be processed and eaten.
There is nothing in the entire universe that humans haven't tried to eat.
Mu Yu and the others carefully surveyed the site and confirmed that the snake that had appeared was just out for a stroll. They then followed its tracks and found a snake's den.
D-level star beasts, especially the gregarious ones, can be killed with a knife or bare hands. And this nest has a moderate number of them, about two hundred.
Despite this situation, Ye Lele and Ye Yueyue have yet to achieve a breakthrough.
Despite being an Omega, Ruan Mingchu was even more formidable than an Alpha, scoring a total of thirty-three points!
Holding the military knife from the supply pack, and using his mental power, he didn't even need to use any skills; he slashed a small snake with each strike!
If we disregard the first point, Mu Yu is one point less than him.
Such a record changed Mu Yu's gaze towards Ruan Mingchu. He seemed somewhat puzzled; wasn't Ruan Mingchu an Omega? How could he be so strong?
Having demonstrated his capabilities to his partner and successfully captured his attention, Ruan Mingchu was satisfied.
Even when he was down on his luck and injured, he was still very capable.
Hao Youyou, the devoted fanboy, had already started clapping and praising, "As expected of my brother Ruan, awesome!"
