The Crybaby Alpha is Actually Really Cool - Chapter 22
Ruan Qingyao rubbed his eyes and then tentatively reached out to touch the empty space. He hopped around, touching every part of the space, but didn’t touch anything.
Is it only triggered after meeting some condition?
He counted on his fingers the things he possessed that might be subject to assessment: Spirit Tool, Spiritual Energy, pheromones, skill, intelligence, beauty, physique…
Physique crossed out. Ruan Qingyao reached out and felt his well-defined abs, thinking gloomily, I no longer have a good physique, wuwuwu.
Getting off-topic. Ruan Qingyao summoned his Spirit Tool. The appearance of the Box did not bring about any change. Maybe it was because the box was a storage-type Spirit Tool?
Ruan Qingyao recalled the Spirit Tool while thinking. Since the Spirit Tool didn’t work, Spiritual Energy was also useless because Spiritual Energy was only what supplied the Spirit Tool and could not materialize in reality.
Pheromones?
He cautiously released a wisp of pheromones. Just a wisp filled the space with the scent of chestnut wine, showing the high concentration and quality of his pheromones.
Generally, pheromones are invisible but flavorful. But now, a yellow smoky substance first appeared in front of Ruan Qingyao, and then the uncontrolled smoke dispersed, looking very much like individual dust particles.
???
They don’t want me to use my pheromones to create the flower scene from the photo, do they? That sounds so embarrassing!
Pheromones can be converted into Spiritual Energy for Spirit Tool use, but for an Omega, the biggest use of pheromones is to attract Alphas.
Ruan Qingyao patted his red, burning cheeks, unable to stop himself from covering his face. L-luckily it’s a single room. The examiner must have some sense of shame, right!
He closed his eyes, released a massive cloud of pheromones, and then started kneading and shaping the pheromone cloud. He didn’t know the principle, but people could just control their pheromones.
What Ruan Qingyao didn’t know was that every single room had cameras, and he could be watched at any time by the high-ranking officials of the Military Tower sitting in the conference room. And now, his figure appeared on the large screen in the conference room.
“Is this the S-rank child? The quality, release speed, and control of the pheromones are truly strong,” a middle-aged man with the rank of Major General said, with a hint of envy in his tone. Among the twelve generals present, his pheromone level was only C-rank, which made his path to advancement extremely difficult and limited his future. Reaching the position of Major General was already his limit.
“It’s a pity. If he had been raised normally as an Alpha from a young age, he would definitely be an excellent soldier.”
All twelve people present had seen Ruan Qingyao’s file and even studied it carefully. This child had been spoiled to the point of being useless. He just cried at the slightest provocation, and his Spirit Tool was a non-combat storage box.
“The West, North, and South Districts all have S-rank Alphas joining this year. The one in the North District even went to the battlefield before differentiation. If this continues, our East District First Military Tower’s position won’t be secure,”
The East District had been somewhat in decline these past few years, with the quality of new recruits consistently inferior to the other three districts. Fortunately, their high and middle-level forces were still the strongest, but in the long run, the East District would eventually be surpassed.
Although the person on the screen was Ruan Qingyao, the focus of the discussion was not on him but on the future of the East District.
Only Mo Buyu, who was at the center of the conference table, kept staring at Ruan Qingyao. He always felt this child would bring him a surprise.
Ruan Qingyao recalled the photo from memory while shaping the pheromone cloud. Just as he roughly outlined a shape, a voice prompted him that the assessment had passed.
???
Ruan Qingyao opened his eyes and looked at the pheromone cloud in front of him. Where is the recreation? Do the assessors have vision problems or aesthetic problems?
He firmly refused to accept an unfinished work coming from his hands. Amidst the urging voice to leave for the next assessment, Ruan Qingyao stubbornly stayed until the flower scene was delicately completed. Only after taking a commemorative photo did he leave.
Thank goodness the standard-issue comm-device still had a camera function.
Leaving that room, passing through an empty corridor, and following the guide, Ruan Qingyao entered a room that looked exactly the same as the previous one.
So what’s the point of changing rooms? Ruan Qingyao, standing at the doorway, couldn’t help but wonder. Is it because of that damn sense of ritual? Can the military have romantic Alphas?
The next second, Ruan Qingyao got his answer. A cloud of another Alpha’s pheromones suddenly appeared in the room. The scent was lemon. Ruan Qingyao neither liked nor disliked the smell, but a strong sense of rejection arose in his heart. His skin felt a slight prickling sensation when it came into contact with the pheromones. However, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared after Ruan Qingyao released his own pheromones.
The greenish-blue lemon-scented pheromones in the room shrunk into a small ball and were driven into a corner by the pale-yellow chestnut wine-scented pheromones. The lemon pheromones trembled, completely suppressed.
Seeing this, the high-ranking officials in the conference room couldn’t help but speak again: “The pheromones of the original child in this room must be A-rank as well, looking so weak in front of an S-rank. S-rank truly lives up to its name as the most powerful rank.”
After saying that, they felt regret again. An S-rank level, yet it appeared on a child raised as an Omega.
“Forget it, forget it. The other children are also excellent. Isn’t that child from the Xu family very capable? Let’s look at him.”
“Indeed, let’s switch to someone else.”
The first item assessed the concentration, quality, and control of pheromones. Ruan Qingyao’s effortless completion did not mean everyone was the same as him. Some people with lower ranks couldn’t even release a sufficient pheromone cloud.
The second item assessed resistance to others’ pheromones. Alpha pheromones were a powerful aphrodisiac for Omegas but a poison for the same s3x. All Alphas reject the pheromones of their own kind.
Ruan Qingyao instinctively released his pheromones to protect himself, then he was completely at a loss. As a former Omega, his knowledge of Alphas was truly limited.
At the same time, Cheng Shu, who had sculpted a mini flying device with a minimal amount of pheromones, also left the first assessment room. Following the guide, he arrived at the second assessment room, which happened to be Ruan Qingyao’s room.
As soon as he opened the door, Cheng Shu smelled an extremely strong scent of chestnut wine. His steps hesitated for a moment, but he walked in anyway.
In an instant, the pale-yellow pheromone particles engulfed Cheng Shu entirely. His body tensed up, and his expression was serious, ready for anything.
After a while, it was as if nothing had happened; he even felt a little comfortable. Confusion surfaced in Cheng Shu’s mind.
Alpha pheromones have always been known for their volatility, having strong stimulation, suppression, and inducement effects on Omegas. Even though he used medication to pretend to be a Beta and damaged the receptor end of his gland, he shouldn’t be completely unaffected.
Moreover, the pheromones here gave him a gentle, docile feeling, making him somewhat relax his guard and even feel slightly tipsy. If he wasn’t sure his cognitive judgment wasn’t wrong, Cheng Shu would never believe these were Alpha pheromones.
No, Ruan Qingyao’s face appeared in Cheng Shu’s mind, if it’s him, it feels just right.
His stirred emotions made him not notice the faint itchiness emanating from his gland. The almost imperceptible bulge on the back of his neck also showed a slight red tinge.
After staying in the room for ten minutes, Cheng Shu left feeling relaxed and comfortable.
Ruan Qingyao also headed to the next assessment location after staying for ten minutes. The pheromone-related assessment was over; it was time for the Spirit Tool.
First was the efficiency of converting pheromones into Spiritual Energy through the Spirit Core, then the speed of summoning the Spirit Tool under a certain pressure, and the final item was the single-attack damage value of the Spirit Tool.
Ruan Qingyao felt a deep sense of discrimination! Why don’t they assess the Spirit Tool’s storage capacity?!
The high-ranking officials who couldn’t resist watching him again happened to hear his complaint. In fact, Beta assessments were categorized by Spirit Tool type, but they had never had a non-offensive Alpha. Even healing types required attack to heal, and they forgot about Ruan Qingyao’s abnormality.
Ruan Qingyao whined pitifully for a while. He wanted to quit the exam dramatically, but his scores were related to whether he could see his parents every day. Ruan Qingyao pouted and whimpered, but his feet refused to leave.
What’s the big difference between the damage from a Spirit Tool and a fist anyway? Ruan Qingyao looked at the instrument in front of him and, after a long deliberation, decided to try a punch.
With his feet slightly apart, sinking his qi to his dantian, Ruan Qingyao let out a low shout, and his fair fist slammed fiercely into the damage value detector.
A loud “Bang—” sound.
The detector emitted a mournful wail, and the reading went off the charts!
99999!
This was a Level Three detector, which should theoretically withstand the maximum damage of a Level Three Spirit Tool!
The high-ranking officials in front of the screen looked shocked. This was the pure flesh and bl00d strength after only one month of training!
Their bodies, after being washed and strengthened by Spiritual Energy, only dealt a damage value of about ten thousand per punch.
Immediately after, they saw something even more jaw-dropping.
Hearing the detector’s mournful cry, Ruan Qingyao was startled. Only when it stopped making noise did he dare to gently poke it with his fair finger, asking softly and a little guiltily, “Are you okay?”
“Assessment passed. The next item will begin shortly.”
Ruan Qingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next item was the Combat Assessment. A red virtual figure appeared in the room, similar in build to Ruan Qingyao himself.
Ruan Qingyao dealt with it quickly and efficiently. Then an orange virtual figure appeared. After orange came yellow…
“Is it going to be red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet?”
Not long after Ruan Qingyao lamented, he encountered the remaining virtual figures. The figures grew stronger and stronger. By the time he was fighting the violet one, Ruan Qingyao was panting heavily, almost exhausted. His small face was flushed, and his peach-blossom eyes were filled with grievance and tears.
Where had the delicate Yaoyao ever suffered this hardship? He accidentally got hit by a punch and a kick. It hurt so much!
Crying pitifully while beating the virtual figure away, the scene looked exceptionally awkward.
Fortunately, there was nothing after violet. Ruan Qingyao took out a cushion and a pillow from his Box, curled up in the corner like a mushroom, and only calmed down after a long while of feeling wronged.
Next time he contacts his parents, Yaoyao must complain.
Well, as long as he felt wronged, the high-ranking officials watching him felt equally complicated.
The final item was the Command Assessment. Ruan Qingyao was in a virtual space, a rainforest terrain. He had eight hundred soldiers, the enemy had a thousand, and the individual combat power was equivalent. Each side had a base with moderate combat supplies, and the duration was two hours.
At the center of the base was a tower. The fall of the tower represented the capture of the base. The full score was one hundred. Defending one’s base earned sixty points. The more enemies killed, the higher the score. Capturing the enemy base was a full score.
Ruan Qingyao pouted as he read the instructions, his beautiful small face filled with displeasure. How am I supposed to handle something I’ve never had any contact with?
Forget it, I’ll take whatever score I can get.
After initialization, Ruan Qingyao looked at the surroundings. There was no sense of virtual reality. The soldiers assigned to him seemed like living people, and the enemy was the Zerg race.
Ruan Qingyao was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips. Even if these were just data, he would feel sad if they died in front of him.
Then let’s try not to die.
In the very last second of the two hours, Ruan Qingyao infiltrated the enemy base, and a bomb blew up the tower in the center of the base.
“100”
Ruan Qingyao looked at the score that appeared in front of him, listening to the cheers of the virtual soldiers, a brilliant smile appeared on his dirty small face.
“Assessment over. Please…”
Without even letting the person finish speaking, Ruan Qingyao immediately darted out the moment he returned to reality. He had to take a shower! A shower! A shower!
That rainforest was too dirty!
In the conference room, there was silence.
Everyone was shocked by Ruan Qingyao’s result. Out of eight hundred people, five hundred had minor injuries, one had a serious injury, and zero were dead. The opponent’s two thousand were all wiped out, and the base was successfully captured.
Perfect utilization of terrain, the respective advantages of his virtual soldiers, and the enemy’s disadvantages, achieving the most impressive result. A born commander could do no better.
Although any of the twelve people present could achieve a similar result, the minimum length of their service was fifty years!
Ruan Qingyao, however, was a blank slate, relying entirely on natural intuition.
Suddenly, the oldest general slammed the table, his tone fanatical to the point of madness: “Heirloom Spirit Tool! Find him an Heirloom Spirit Tool! This kind of talent is born for the battlefield. He must go to the battlefield!”
The highest S-rank pheromones, a pure flesh and bl00d strength of up to 99999, and an extremely strong command talent. Who else would go if he didn’t?!
The Spirit Tool is not suitable? No problem! There are so many Spirit Tools left by the Empire’s martyrs; they can definitely find an attack-type Spirit Tool suitable for Ruan Qingyao!
The author has something to say:
Yaoyao: Suddenly feeling a chill down my spine
Next book asking for pre-order: Delicate Zerg Live Streams Raising Cubs
The synopsis is as follows:
Upon transmigrating to the Zerg Planet, the delicate S-rank male Zerg, Shen Jinchen, was bound to a Live Stream Raising Cubs System. No raising cubs, no live stream meant Game Over.
Shen Jinchen, who had been a bachelor for twenty years, couldn’t produce a cub. Coincidentally, a single-parent family moved next door: a female Zerg with seven young cubs.
The female Zerg’s personality and appearance completely charmed him.
Shen Jinchen went straight to his door: Hi, wife.
He successfully transitioned from bachelor to male father, and the male father of seven cubs at that.
Shen Jinchen diligently live-streamed, spoiling his wife and cubs, and the live stream became increasingly popular.
Until a fan pointed out: They are not real cubs at all! They are the seven traitors of the nation, regressed to their juvenile stage!
That gentle and considerate female Zerg was none other than the former Empire God of War, whose wings were clipped and who was exiled!
The female Zerg, You En, who had concealed her identity out of greed for the male Zerg’s tenderness, trembled nervously, wanting to atone for his sins with death.
Unexpectedly, the male Zerg gently said: Since they are not cubs, your punishment is to give me a real cub.
Fans: Ahhhhhh, infuriating!
You En thought that becoming the male Zerg’s female attendant, and even being allowed to bear his offspring, was the greatest mercy heaven could bestow.
He never expected the male Zerg to overturn his case and clear his name.
He never expected the male Zerg to repair his wings and relieve his pain.
He even less expected the male Zerg to exclusively dote on him, honoring him as the Main Spouse and loving him for a lifetime.
Shen Jinchen discovered that although they were all Zerg, things here were quite twisted.
He excitedly handed his salary card to his wife.
But his wife thought he was going to abandon him.
He couldn’t change the entire world.
He could only spoil his own wife.
