"Okay, I knew you still care about me, love you~" Rong Zhiming gave Ruan Mingchu a shy heart gesture.
Ruan Mingchu: "yue—"
Rong Zhiming: "That's going too far!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Ruan Mingchu finished the water in his glass in one gulp and stood up.
"Hey, do you need me to keep this a secret?" Rong Zhiming was still sprawled on the sofa.
"There's no need to do meaningless things." He appeared openly and honestly without any intention of hiding it, wanting to see how certain people would react.
After watching Ruan Mingchu leave, Rong Zhiming immediately jumped up from the sofa and paced back and forth in the room.
Damn it... This is just too damn bad. Ruan Mingchu looks so Omega now, even more Omega than the Omega in my dreams, making my heart pound.
(ps: O = US)
The conversation between the two did not last long, and Ruan Mingchu returned to the preparation room only five or six minutes after he left.
In front of the preparation room, Ruan Mingchu stopped and looked up at the sign next to the door frame; it was indeed 666.
What on earth is this smoke and pungent smell coming out from under the door?
He pushed open the door, quickly stepped aside, and billowing smoke rushed into the corridor like a waterfall.
Ruan Mingchu was speechless.
The door opened quite loudly, but no one came out to check. Puzzled, Ruan Mingchu went inside anyway and saw that each of them was holding a stick of incense.
Thick black smoke billowed out excitedly, while the person holding the incense closed their eyes and worshipped the heavens.
What kind of cult has he stumbled upon?!
My fist is very hard and very itchy.
They watched them pray for countless times until finally someone spotted Nguyen Minh Thu.
Gong Zhushen: "Brother Ruan, you're back! Come and pay your respects!"
Ruan Mingchu sighed, "Who did this?"
Gong Zhushen: "Who else could it be but Principal Li? But I feel like praying to him really helped. My hands stopped shaking, my back stopped aching, and I wasn't nervous at all."
“Ha,” Ruan Mingchu took a half step back and slapped his hand against the alarm on the wall.
Immediately, several sprinklers emerged from the ceiling, precisely extinguishing the fire and wetting the incense.
"Aaaaaah, Brother Ruan, I finally managed to turn off the smoke alarm!"
Ruan Mingchu said coldly, "Stop with this nonsense. You might as well close your eyes and get some sleep instead."
Gong Zhushen whispered, "Isn't it just that I want to find someone to rely on?"
"Only by becoming strong can one rely on oneself." Ruan Mingchu has never liked to place his hopes on such illusory things.
When Shen Huanli returned from the battle, she was greeted by a scene of utter chaos and her teammates, none of whom wore smiles.
He happily shared his joy: "I was very lucky this time. My opponent had diarrhea last night and couldn't get up at all. I just waited there for a few minutes and automatically won."
"Holy crap!" Gong Zhushen exclaimed excitedly, "Great news!"
The others were in a good mood too; at least they were willing to smile.
Everyone had good luck in the following matches.
Ding Junji: "I encountered a very weak opponent."
Lei Qianjun: "The opponent was in a vulnerable period and was quarantined."
Ma Lie: "Very weak."
Song Yang: "They insisted on showing off the mecha, but it fell apart, so I took advantage of the situation."
Gong Zhushen excitedly pulled the incense out of the trash can again: "Brother Ruan, it really works! God is protecting us!"
Ruan Mingchu: ...
This is not good luck.
Although the competition rules state that the assignments are random, it would be easy for Rong Zhiming to intervene in the assignment process and change the randomness to a designated assignment.
By assigning them weaker or problematic opponents, the win rate and score are guaranteed, and Nguyen Minh Thu's control within the temporary military academy student corps is ensured, thus serving as bait for Yung Chi Minh.
All things considered, my luck wasn't very good.
Of course, standing out in action will greatly benefit future promotions.
Ruan Mingchu glanced at his teammates who had actually followed Gong Zhushen in rummaging through the trash cans and burning incense and praying to Buddha.
Never mind, let's just hope they don't get hurt.
They're still just kids; they'll realize how adorable their current behavior is when they grow up.
Mu Yu approached Ruan Mingchu and stuffed three incense sticks into his hand. Ruan Mingchu numbly accepted them and bowed perfunctorily.
He's already sacrificed so much, yet Mu Yu is still not satisfied.
Mu Yu pursed his lips. "You have to be sincere."
Ruan Mingchu revealed a playful smile: "Why are you joining in their commotion? Why don't you tell me what you need to ask the gods for? Maybe asking me will be more effective than asking the gods."
I met with Rong Zhiming, and we talked in a slightly irreverent tone.
However, Ruan Mingchu was genuinely curious. Gong Zhushen and the others were burning incense simply hoping to win more points today. But Mu Yu was well aware that individual battles had little impact on the overall league rankings, so even if they lost all their matches today, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Mu Yu glared at the unserious Ruan Mingchu, ignored him, snatched the incense from his hand, and went to pray to the side.
Of course, he couldn't tell Ruan Mingchu that the gap between them was widening and he wanted to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
It sounds like I'm jealous of him.
Whether you worship or not is up to you.
Ruan Mingchu was extremely familiar with this planet, and he made no attempt to conceal it, so Mu Yu asked Marshal Mu to investigate Ruan Mingchu's identity, and received a reply this morning.
The past information in the documents was indeed fake. Omega Star Assistant met Ruan Mingchu without an identity card and talked nonsense, so he arbitrarily prepared a more normal identity for him. The main reason was that Ruan Mingchu and he had a perfect compatibility, so he made up the fake information so that his family would not have any reason to dislike Ruan Mingchu.
The truth is that Nguyen Minh Thu suddenly appeared there, and no trace of his past existence could be found.
They must have fallen on hard times, or they must have some unspeakable difficulties.
That's why Mu Yu wanted Ruan Mingchu to also pay his respects, so that he could have a peaceful and smooth life afterward.
As for who Ruan Mingchu really was and what had happened to get him to the Shuangjiu Star System, Mu Yu didn't intend to ask.
He believed he had good judgment and that Ruan Mingchu was a good person who would not harm him.
One person assumes the other knows them and acts without restraint; the other notices something amiss but believes the other has something to hide, so they secretly tolerate it.
In short, they got along very well.
Recalling that Mu Yu went to find Gong Zhushen but didn't come to find her in the car this morning, Ruan Mingchu secretly wondered if she and Mu Yu lacked something in common. Just like now, Mu Yu and Gong Zhushen were sincerely worshipping Buddha, while she expressed disdain.
After thinking for a moment, Ruan Mingchu went to Gong Zhushen and snatched some incense. She then approached Mu Yu and said, "Look, I'm sure I'm sincere this time."
They completely forgot that they used to believe in the principle of "if we agree, we stay together; if we disagree, we part ways," and they would never change themselves to please others.
The competition was suspended the following morning, and the contestants from each school were free to move around. The organizing committee and team captains then held a meeting to divide the teams into groups.
That's right, he was chosen to host again this time. In just a few days, the junior members went through a period of great hardship.
Because Rong Zhiming manipulated the team's performance behind the scenes, they lost a game yesterday and dropped to the top five in total score.
The captains of the top 23 teams took turns going on stage. Ruan Mingchu stood in the middle, looking like a beauty who had wandered into a pack of wild beasts, which was quite out of place.
In previous meetings, everyone's faces were processed by robots. When someone saw Ruan Mingchu, they only laughed at his short stature and never thought of anything else.
Now that everyone can see faces, when Ruan Mingchu stands on a high place, all the Alphas have the same thought: Absolutely amazing.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Ruan Mingchu felt like a herd of grass mud horses was galloping through his mind.
Even though his strength has recovered, it's understandable that his body hasn't, but his pheromones can't be restored either. It must be the mermaid bloodline that's causing this.
It's worth mentioning that interstellar people have special skills in distinguishing gender; they can tell at a glance whether someone is an A, B, or O.
After a while, everyone snapped out of their reverie of Nguyen Minh Thu's beauty and began to whisper among themselves.
"How could an Omega have gone up there?"
"A mascot? In my hometown, there's a legend that Omegas are lucky."
"Wouldn't other teams be guaranteed to win against him?"
"They even made an Omega the captain! The teachers at the school are spoiling him way too much."
"With looks like that, she's bound to be a heartthrob."
"Tch, I will never be seduced by beauty."
Those who had fought against Ruan Mingchu and were completely defeated could only laugh at his short stature, feeling somewhat apprehensive inside.
It's a coincidence, isn't it? Out of more than 30,000 people, there must be some underdeveloped Alphas. I certainly wouldn't be beaten so badly by an Omega.
Regardless of the galaxy, Alphas always consider themselves superior to Omegas.
After reading out the group list and each team leader received their group badge, the event ended. Ruan Mingchu left quickly, leaving the Alphas who wanted to say a few words to him feeling regretful.
Rong Zhiming's plan was to send the students on different warships in batches during the journey from Satellite 10 to the 48th border district, thereby exposing the route of the warship where Ruan Minhchu was located, and waiting for the anti-imperialist alliance to hijack the ship.
This warship is definitely going to be hijacked. Ideally, the people should be taken to their stronghold so that their base can be destroyed. Even if it's not their stronghold, it will be a large-scale base, and 1,500 military academy students would be enough to tempt them.
Apart from Nguyen Minh Thu and some outstanding military academy students, the remaining students were all sent to sleep pods under the pretext of conducting warship jumps.
The nominally sleeping pods have protective mechanisms, so even if they are bombed by missiles or thrown into space, they are not afraid. It would take the Alliance at least a week to forcibly crack them, which is enough to ensure their personal safety.
Moreover, reliable sources indicate that the alliance does not intend to kill these talented individuals, but rather to bring them back, either to assimilate them or to conduct human experiments on them.
The best-case scenario is that everything will be settled when they wake up. If things go wrong, it's hard to say, but with Ruan Mingchu around, Rong Zhiming is quite relieved.
That was a ruthless man who once single-handedly held off the entire border of a region.
While flying through space aboard Nguyen Minh Thu's warship, Nguyen Xing I, on the ground, followed his instructions and had someone inadvertently reveal that Le Ye had been discovered and captured by Nguyen Minh Thu.
He didn't expect this move to be very effective; it was simply that Ruan Mingchu wanted to draw some hatred towards himself and see if he could get a little surprise in return.
Li Ye's importance in the anti-empire alliance was higher than Ruan Minhchu had estimated, not because of his important position or outstanding abilities, but because he was quite hardworking.
It's because Li Ye is very popular in the alliance, so much so that everyone from the cleaning lady to the alliance chairman knows him.
