The fact that the five-star team, which was at the forefront, had the best resources already aroused envy, jealousy, and resentment from other teams. Now that they had an outlet, they naturally poured out their anger.
If someone is led astray, they may accept criticism, but no proud person can tolerate attacks on their genes, parents, or social status.
They were also pampered growing up, so who would be willing to accept it passively? That's why they started arguing.
At first, the argument was just about leading the wrong way, but it escalated into class conflict.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu watched them argue with great interest, cracking sunflower seeds along the way.
When Gong Zhushen accidentally caught sight of the two people sitting high in the treetops, his lips twitched repeatedly. Damn it, he really wanted to sit there and watch the monkey show too.
After glancing at it with a sour look, Gong Zhushen wouldn't allow himself to look any longer; he couldn't let his pure soul be corrupted by capitalists.
After being pulled aside for a talk by Mu Yu, Gong Zhushen knew what Mu Yu and Ruan Mingchu were planning, and now he was busy stirring up trouble everywhere.
Once the pushing and shoving escalated into a fight, Gong Zhushen dragged Hao Youyou away from the battlefield.
Hao Youyou said angrily, "Why are you pulling me? Anyway, those people will definitely hold a grudge against us and blame us. We might as well take this opportunity to beat them up."
“That makes sense,” Gong Zhushen thought for a second, “Can you beat them? Don’t end up getting hurt.”
"Tui! Who do you think you are?" Hao Youyou kicked Gong Zhushen's butt without any mercy and ran into the melee.
Butt: Why am I always the one who gets hurt? = =
Gong Zhushen rubbed his buttocks, looked around, and then spotted someone and ruthlessly attacked them.
When Mu Yu saw Gong Zhushen leave the field, he took out his terminal, zoomed in, and recorded Gong Zhushen's sneaky and despicable attack.
He even called Ruan Mingchu to watch together: "Tsk tsk, this monkey stealing peaches trick is disgusting."
Ruan Mingchu burst out laughing.
Young people are prone to impulsiveness when their blood boils, especially Alphas, who are inherently wicked. When they are impulsive, they don't care about anything else and just want to vent their anger.
Physical pain can actually increase their blood flow, making them more irritable and angry, and causing them to hit harder.
The mutated rats only injured most of the people, but now this "civil war" has injured all the Alphas, many of whom are seriously injured.
After they had vented their energy, Ruan Xingyi and the others finally arrived. Those seriously injured and whose injuries would affect their future were promptly taken to the treatment pod; those whose injuries weren't so severe were left to suffer on their own.
Only when people are exhausted, lying down, or sitting on the ground do they realize what they have done.
When the demon of impulse dissipates and fear begins to rise in one's heart, how will His Highness deal with them?
I was so anxious that I didn't even want to treat my injuries.
Every second was torture.
Ruan Mingchu did not comment on the matter, nor did he impose any punishment. He simply sent a video to the galaxy leaders of various star systems and enabled the terminal's network connectivity.
Not long after he sent the message to the group, all the terminals on the ground started ringing.
The sudden sound startled me. I was already agitated, and this made it hard to even breathe.
I frantically connected the call, and when I heard my parents scolding me, I shuddered. I quickly switched the settings to be visible and audible only to myself.
What young person doesn't care about saving face? Being scolded in front of outsiders is truly a loss of face.
Ruan Mingchu didn't need to say a single word or explain any reasoning; his parents would speak for him and explain things on his behalf. It was even more effective than Ruan Mingchu speaking himself, because these young people were used to facing the authority of their parents. Although they feared a crown prince, they didn't really feel any real connection to him.
In contrast, the authority of their parents, who control everything about them, is greater.
Ruan Mingchu spared his attention to listen to the parents lecturing their children, which consisted of nothing more than "Think of your family before you act," "No one will save you if you anger the Crown Prince," "The Crown Prince can take your life with just a word," "Don't make us worry about you," and "You're meant to curry favor, not become a nuisance"...
This is the power of authority.
This is also why people in power can cause great harm if they cannot control themselves.
Ruan Mingchu sighed. Next time, he shouldn't take the easy way out and let these parents teach him. Otherwise, there would only be a bunch of mindless zombies who would do anything to climb the social ladder.
Aside from complaining to his parents, Ruan Mingchu did nothing else, not even making any plans for the next move. This made the Alphas who had made the mistake even more uneasy than imposing punishment.
No one dared to approach Ruan Mingchu directly, so Ruan Xingyi had another group of people there, all of whom came to admit their mistakes and accept punishment.
He was then ridiculed and driven away by Ruan Xing'er.
Ruan Mingchu checked the time and said, "Everyone, rest for half an hour. After half an hour, we will continue heading northwest."
Hearing his voice, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhuo was on tenterhooks, feeling a chill run down his spine as he constantly felt a piercing gaze upon him.
The Omega who came with Zhao Zhuo was his cousin, Zhao Qingqing.
After thinking it over, Zhao Zhuo pulled Zhao Qingqing, who was consuming nutrient solution, towards Ruan Mingchu's direction.
Pulled along, Zhao Qingqing hurriedly gulped down the unpleasant-tasting nutritional fluid. "Brother, you're hurting me! What are you doing?"
“Go and apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince on behalf of your brother,” Zhao Zhuo said.
Zhao Qingqing frowned and refused to move forward: "Brother, I dare not."
Zhao Zhuo yanked Zhao Qingqing hard, causing him to stumble. "Don't forget what Father sent you here for."
Zhao Qingqing dared not not go.
Zhao Zhuo told Zhao Qingqing to go by herself. Zhao Qingqing twisted the hem of her clothes, her heart trembling. She walked up to Ruan Mingchu, closed her eyes in fear, bowed, and blurted out the apology she had prepared.
Ruan Mingchu chuckled to reassure her: "It's alright, young people should have some energy."
Zhao Qingqing let out a soft "ah," surprised that His Highness the Crown Prince was so easy to talk to.
Ruan Mingchu chatted with him for a few more minutes before sending him away.
Zhao Qingqing jogged away happily.
Ruan Mingchu ruffled Mu Yu's hair: "Why are you pinching me? Is Yu Yu jealous?"
Mu Yu scoffed, "Don't you feel your pheromones overflowing? Don't let an Omega smell them and tarnish his reputation."
Ruan Mingchu was both amused and exasperated: "Do they look like they can smell my pheromones?"
His pheromones are so potent that Alphas would kneel before them and Omegas would go limp from their scent.
"You really smelled my pheromones?"
Seeing that Mu Yu didn't seem to be joking, Ruan Mingchu raised her hand and sniffed herself.
Mu Yu affirmed, "Although the scent is very faint, it is indeed your pheromones, unless someone else has exactly the same pheromones as you."
Ruan Mingchu once again suppressed his pheromones, even wrapping himself in several layers of mental energy barriers: "How about this?"
Mu Yu: "There are still some."
That's strange, he can't control his pheromones anymore?
66. He excessively wanted to do even more outrageous things.
The pheromones leaked out without his knowledge and became uncontrollable, which is no small matter and could easily lead to an accident.
The unexpected problem forced Ruan Mingchu to hand over the group of young people to Mu Yu and Ruan Xingyi, while he boarded the light ship that flew back to the Imperial Star to go to the hospital for a medical check-up.
Dr. Gu was the one who received Ruan Mingchu. He drew blood from five places on Ruan Mingchu's body for testing, and the results came out quickly.
"The pheromone concentration is higher than normal, and the closer to the gland, the higher the concentration of pheromones in the blood."
"As for what you said about only Mu Yu being able to smell your pheromones, it must be that the perfect compatibility between you makes him exceptionally sensitive to your pheromones."
"It is written in the mermaid studies book that this is a sign of entering adulthood and mating season. Your Highness and your partner should be prepared."
Ruan Mingchu was silent for a while, then asked, "Were those books about mermaids just made up by Qingyao?"
Dr. Gu: ...
Very well, it's clear that His Highness has absolutely no trust in Mr. Qing.
"These books were found by an adventure team at a ruin, and they might even be older than Mr. Qing!"
Dr. Gu particularly emphasized "old age".
Nguyen Minh Thu apologized for his unfounded speculation.
"Besides...that, is there no way to get through adulthood?"
“Yes, there is,” Dr. Gu said in surprise, “but if we use other methods, you might have to stay in the ward for three or four months. And don’t you already have a partner?”
Ruan Mingchu: "But we're not married yet."
Dr. Gu sighed, "My God, what's with this obsession with marriage? There aren't many simple and honest young people like this anymore."
He patiently advised, "What can a certificate represent? It represents nothing, and besides, you can get it in no time."
Ruan Mingchu frowned: "But the wedding can't be skipped."
I don't know where this obsession comes from, but the idea that a marriage that has had a wedding ceremony, vows, and blessings from others will be happy and fulfilling.
Dr. Gu choked for a moment, then said quietly, "Your Highness, boarding first and buying the ticket later has always been a viable practice."
Ruan Mingchu seemed to be deep in thought.
"In short, take these suppression patches with you. It's always good to use them whenever you feel like it. Also, it's always a good idea to prepare these family planning supplies in advance."
Then Ruan Mingchu walked out of the hospital carrying a large bag of things.
Perhaps it was a subconscious influence, but when Ruan Mingchu snapped out of his thoughts, he found himself standing in front of a wedding planning company.
As the Crown Prince, his wedding was handled by the Royal Ceremonial Office and did not involve any private wedding planning companies.
Whenever he saw other people's lively weddings, Ruan Mingchu would think that his father and mother were separated because they had never had a wedding. Therefore, he was determined to have a grand and lively wedding with his beloved in the future.
Every day, many people in the world get married and divorced. What does happiness or unhappiness have to do with just one day's events? It's just that we didn't understand when we were young.
There may be many similar obsessions, which Ruan Mingchu regards as gifts left by his childhood self.
Ruan Mingchu stepped inside. A wedding was being held in the banquet hall on the second floor. It seemed to be more than halfway through, with everyone gathered around the stage, having a lively time.
He glanced at it twice, but it didn't seem like anything interesting.
Just as he was about to leave, a colorful bouquet of flowers fell from the sky and landed right in Ruan Mingchu's hands.
The crowd following the bouquet turned their attention to Ruan Mingchu, expressing their envy and admiration.
The bride on the stage was momentarily captivated by the handsome and tall Ruan Mingchu, but snapped back to reality amidst the groom's disgruntled snort.
She raised the microphone, her voice brimming with happiness: "We're passing on our happiness to you. Be happy!"
