01 The virtual command competition was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The sun's light was intense yet gentle, radiating joy on this day of celebration throughout the empire.

The Double Nine Star System, the main star, and the comprehensive military university.

To celebrate humanity's journey into interstellar space, its victory over the star beasts, and the establishment of its own empire, the various departments of the Comprehensive Military University hold lively events every year on Liberation Day.

The Control Academy, an institution that trains military commanders, is hosting a virtual command competition in its first venue.

During lunchtime, not many people came to register. The two Alphas guarding the registration point chatted idly while browsing the campus network.

"This year, the socialite class has 500 new Omega students. I heard that several of them come from top-tier families. Marrying one of them would save you a hundred years of hard work."

"With your cowardly appearance, you still want to marry into a prestigious family? As for me, someone like the beautiful Ruan will do. He'll definitely be number one in this socialite beauty pageant."

"Get lost. Even if Ruan is an orphan, with her perfect match for Young Master Mu, she's definitely a worthy wife of a wealthy family. Besides, her looks are the most beautiful in the military academy! I heard that on the first day of school, the eldest and second young masters of the Xiang family got into a fight over pursuing her."

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" The Alpha, who hadn't gotten a chance to speak to his companion, finally looked up from the beautiful photos of Omegas on the campus network and saw the central figure in their conversation—Ruan Mingchu.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do with my hands and feet.

Her short, silvery-white hair shimmered in the gentle sunlight, and her delicate, smiling peach blossom eyes were full of affection. Just looking at her like that made one's pheromones feel like they were about to burst forth.

The impact of a real person is far greater than that of a photograph.

The two Alphas thought they had seen all the beautiful Omegas who entered the school in the past two years, but they had never felt as shocked as when they saw Ruan Mingchu.

"Hello." After being forced to become an Omega, Ruan Mingchu had gotten used to the sight of these Alphas, whose heads were full of nonsense, being stunned in the past month. If he didn't say something to remind them, they might still be immersed in his "beauty" tomorrow.

"Hello, hello." The two Alphas greeted each other warmly, rubbing their hands together, wanting to hold the Omega's soft, fragrant hands, but afraid of being rejected.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" The Alpha who wanted to marry Ruan Mingchu was one step ahead and eagerly inquired about Ruan Mingchu's purpose.

If the beautiful Ruan wants to watch the virtual command competition, he's willing to skip work to accompany her!

Ruan Mingchu gave a faint smile: "I'm here to register for the Virtual Command Competition. Isn't this the registration point?"

It carried a subtle hint of sarcasm: "If people come to register but don't sign up, are they here to flirt with Alphas?"

The two Alphas didn't feel the mockery at all; instead, they were completely stunned by Ruan Mingchu's smile.

After a moment, the two realized what Ruan Mingchu had just said and immediately put on a worried mask.

Each person spoke in one sentence, fully expressing their lack of support for Nguyen Minh Thu's registration for the virtual competition.

"Although the command competition has the word 'virtual' in it, you can still get injured if you're not careful."

"Five years ago, Omega participated in a virtual competition out of curiosity. He spent two months in the hospital recovering and was left with irreversible trauma."

"Although the academy did not explicitly state the threshold for the virtual competition, forcibly extracting mental energy will cause brain damage."

“A hundred years ago, an Omega forcibly entered a virtual military network and became an idiot.”

"The academy didn't prepare any rescue plans for Omega participants; it's too dangerous."

"In the virtual world, the other side may not necessarily show any mercy."

...

No matter how much is said, the core issue is that Omega is too weak to participate in virtual tournaments.

Although disguised as well-intentioned, it is still blatant sexism.

Ruan Mingchu did not interrupt the two, listened quietly, and stubbornly insisted on his original purpose.

One Alpha tried to speak again but was interrupted by another. He took out an application form and a commitment letter for Ruan Mingchu to fill out, saying, "Just go in after you finish filling them out. Once you're inside, there's a sign with specific instructions."

After writing his thanks, Ruan Minhchu affixed the number plate to his chest and walked into the venue.

Behind them, the two Alphas whispered to each other. Although they thought they were being very quiet, Ruan Mingchu could hear them.

Why won't you let me speak?

"Haven't you heard about Ruan Da Meiren's gender dysphoria? She used to insist that she was an Alpha, thinking she was so great. We'll wait until she tries it and it doesn't work before we're satisfied, then we can rush over to comfort her. That's much better than stopping her now."

"Brilliant, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

"Haha~ You flatter me~"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mingchu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He really didn't have gender dysphoria; it was just that the equipment here wasn't advanced enough.

A month ago, he was ambushed on his way back from the Warren Empire and was seriously injured. Not only did his body shrink to the size of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old, but his pheromones also became disordered.

His original height of 1.99 meters shrank to 1.75 meters, and his chiseled features became as soft as water. His sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes also became affectionate.

After being stranded on the main star of the Double Nine Star System, he was rescued by the Omega Star Aid Association. Pheromones showed that he was an Omega, but he did not have an identity card to prove it. When Ruan Mingchu said that he was an Alpha, he was considered to be sick.

Moreover, before he could even speak, the Omega Star Assistance Association, taking into account the doctor's advice, immediately issued him a new identity card and sent him to a comprehensive military university.

The people pursuing him changed from Omega to Alpha.

Ruan Minh Thu, an outstanding graduate of the Command Department of the Imperial First Military Academy, thought he could do everything. However, the Crown Prince learned unfamiliar skills such as painting, singing, dancing, baking, and flower arranging in the Relaxation Department, which was specially set up for Omegas.

It really broadened my horizons.

It was worth the time.

While he was thinking, Ruan Mingchu had already walked to the signboard of the first venue. Just as the Alpha had said, the signboard was covered with words.

The virtual command competition has no specific requirements for participants; any student currently enrolled at the Comprehensive Military University can participate. However, generally only students from the Control Academy participate, while other academies also have their own competitions. For example, the Assault Academy has a virtual combat competition, the Support Academy has a virtual combat competition, the Healing Academy has a rescue competition, and the Soothing Academy has a beauty pageant.

These competitions allow freshmen who have only been enrolled for a month to experience the "charm" of their seniors, and there are also plenty of participation prizes to be won.

Apart from senior students who have already entered the military for internships, most of the remaining students will set aside this day to participate in Liberation Day activities.

Now let's return to the rules of the virtual command competition.

The first contestant to participate is the defending champion, and subsequent contestants are the attacking champions. When the attacking champion defeats the defending champion, they can switch sides and become the defender. The defending champion defeats the attacking champion to successfully defend their title. Each successful defense earns one point, and the accumulated points can be redeemed for various exquisite prizes.

In addition, there is a special point: the defending champion at the moment the competition ends at 8 pm will have their score doubled.

The competition format for the virtual command competition is as follows: When a contestant enters the virtual pod, their output mental energy can be transformed into different combat machines as needed, including simple fighter jets, deluxe fighter jets, light warships, and heavy warships.

Combat machines can be transformed not only initially, but also at any time during combat, provided one has sufficient mental strength.

The key to victory lies in the survival of the base. Each player is assigned a base, and they must protect their base from destruction; if their base is destroyed, they lose. Destroying the enemy's base results in victory.

Each match lasts for thirty minutes; if the time expires, both sides lose.

Four huge screens were suspended around the center of the stadium, displaying the live virtual match for the surrounding audience to watch.

At this moment, the defending champion is Kang Bushen, a junior who ranks second in his class and is an absolute powerhouse.

Since Kang Busen came to participate in the virtual command competition, he easily defeated the original defending side, and afterwards he eliminated the opponents who came to challenge him within ten minutes every time.

Unless his brother or some senior students come in person, he will be the ultimate winner today.

He decisively defeated the freshman once again, the fighter jets flipping in a fancy way on the screen, finally forming a line of large characters: Who else?

The crowd erupted in uproar, with some of Kang Buchen's devoted fans shouting out their love for him.

Amidst the clamor, Ruan Mingchu calmly walked onto the stage.

The moment he appeared, the venue fell silent as everyone was captivated by his beauty.

However, once they realized where they were and what competition was taking place, a buzz of discussion filled the entire venue.

"Is he Ruan Mingchu, the most beautiful Omega freshman? What's he doing here?"

"Could it be that he was captivated by Senior Kang's charm and decided to confess his feelings?"

"That's possible."

"As expected of my senior Kang, the strongest commander, even the most beautiful woman is impressed by him."

"Senior Kang is the best!"

"His expression doesn't look like he's here to confess his feelings, it's more like..."

"It's like they're here to compete."

"Impossible, how can an Omega compare to a ghost?"

"Exactly, exactly. Omegas should just stay home and wait for Alphas to pamper them. Aren't they supposed to come to military school to find a good Alpha?"

"Haha, it can even add a touch of gold. The degree from the Comprehensive Military Academy is something that no Tom, Dick, or Harry can compare to."

The overall population ratio across all star systems in the Warren Empire is approximately A:B:O = 1:98:1. Betas, who make up a large proportion, occupy most of the lower and middle-class positions. Meanwhile, a smaller number of Alphas control the majority of social resources and high-ranking positions, simply because of their superior strength.

The ratio of Alphas to Alphas at the comprehensive military university is 2:1, and most of the top students in their grade are Alphas.

As for Omegas, they have always been considered appendages of Alphas. Those who can study at the Comprehensive Military University are all socialites with status and background, and they learn skills that can soothe and relax the Alpha's mind.

After a month here, Ruan Mingchu has come to a profound realization about the actual status of Omegas, who seem to be treated with special privileges, a situation that differs from his childhood perception.

In his army, some Omegas and Betas are even more powerful than Alphas. Anyone can climb the ranks as long as they are ambitious and willing to work hard.

Instead of merely serving as a control group to highlight the powerful strength of Alpha.

When Ruan Mingchu actually entered the virtual reality pod, some people were still chatting and laughing; he was trying to get Kang Xuechang's attention.

Of course, there are also people who believe that Nguyen Minh Thu really wants to participate in the competition. These people either laugh at him for overestimating his abilities or for being out of his mind.

Back then, Ruan Mingchu's claim that he was an Alpha was maliciously spread by some people. Now, some Omegas who are jealous of his good looks can openly mock him for being a weak Omega who still wants to be an Alpha.

Until Nguyen Minh Thu converted his mental energy into combat machines, a dense array of heavy warships, far exceeding the number of Kang Buchen's machines, filled the entire screen.

The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

02 Completely crushing the crowd of A Today, let him teach these fellow A-class beings a good lesson and let the dusty alarm bells ring forever.

Kang Buchen also saw the warships surrounding his base from all sides, and he couldn't muster any thought of resistance.

This is not a situation that can be countered by tactics; it is a complete and utter crushing of mental strength.

Kang Buchen, who was in the virtual pod, was unaware that his opponent was an Omega. He thought it was some bored senior college student who was just messing with him.
