One flat “No kids,” and Mu Chenxing was forced to endure an hour of ideological education.
He had never imagined three guys could be so noisy, yammering until his head buzzed.
Fortunately, the gains were huge.
For instance, he learned the gender basics of this world:
There were three genders here: Alpha, Omega, and Beta.
Alphas were physiological males, Omegas physiological females, and Betas both.
Betas and Omegas could both bear children, especially Omegas—they weren’t just fertile, they got pregnant easily.
—Oh, and Omegas had Heat Periods.
God damn Heat Periods.
Crossing worlds hadn’t defeated Mu Chenxing, but this Omega body that went into heat and bore pups nearly broke him.
Just when he wanted to off himself and transmigrate again, his three dormmates pulled up Alpha videos for him to “feel” how blissful it was to bear children for these mighty Alphas.
Blissful or not, Mu Chenxing didn’t care.
But he spotted high-tech military gear!!
Interstellar ships, aerospace starships, photon guns, energy sources… even starfield Mecha.
Mecha! Badass Mecha soaring through the cosmos!!
As a soldier, he simply couldn’t resist that temptation.
Most importantly, he was now a Military Academy student.
…Even if it was the Nursing Major.
But wasn’t it just a major switch? He’d already made it here—what was impossible?
The Military District’s heavy weapon—Aerospace Mecha—was beckoning him from the future!
Lost in his fantasies, his three dormmates dragged him out of the dorm—afternoon classes awaited.
Sunshine and a gentle breeze, roads lined with colorful plants, and youthful, energetic young people bustling to and fro.
Mu Chenxing’s spirits soared. Clutching the textbooks his dormmates had dug up for him, he glanced around, observing this interstellar world, ears perked to Xia Weizhen and the others’ chatter.
The pharmacology teacher next was strict, roll call on the hour… Noted.
The Cafeteria had fruit candy balls and fizz drinks at night—get there early to snag some… Sounds delicious, noted.
Class A’s Alphas were playing basketball that afternoon… Noted—pfft.
Then, Mu Chenxing’s wandering gaze locked with someone at the road junction ahead.
The guy raised a brow at him, said a few words to his companions, and headed their way.
Mu Chenxing elbowed the brown-haired dormmate beside him, Tong Xiao: “That guy’s coming over.”
Look at that linguistic finesse!
He didn’t know the guy but made it sound like he did!
Sure enough, Tong Xiao turned at his words, exclaiming without a shred of doubt: “Shen Mingshu!”
Mu Chenxing got it. So this was Shen Mingshu, the one who’d asked the original body out a few days ago, landing him in peril.
The other two dormmates spotted him too.
Xia Weizhen bristled with anger: “What does he want?”
Pigeon-toed Tao Xirui muttered: “He got Xingxing laid up for two days—how does he have the face to show up!”
Shen Mingshu was already upon them.
Red lips, white teeth, slender brows, big eyes—another pretty boy.
Mu Chenxing sized him up; the other did the same, even leaning in to sniff him.
Tong Xiao immediately yanked Mu Chenxing behind him. Xia Weizhen and Tao Xirui surged forward, shoving him further back.
Mu Chenxing: “…”
He was the tallest and burliest in the whole dorm.
“You’re pretty bold, Mu Chenxing.”
Mu Chenxing snapped back, peering over his dormmates.
Shen Mingshu scowled at him: “Took two days off, come back reeking of some random dude, not afraid of embarrassing our school?”
Mu Chenxing: “?”
He lifted his arm and sniffed himself.
What smell?
Tong Xiao snapped: “Watch your mouth! Xingxing had a Pheromone surge—the cops gave a Temporary Mark to help. Don’t spout nonsense!”
Xia Weizhen protested: “How can you curse like that? Who’s embarrassing who?”
Even the timid-looking Tao Xirui piped up softly: “You can’t talk about Xingxing that way.”
Shen Mingshu huffed: “Need me to slander him? Suppressants are in vending machines everywhere—why need a cop’s Temporary Mark? Clearly you played around too hard.”
“You—”
Mu Chenxing held Tong Xiao back, stepped around them to the front, and said politely: “If I remember right, you asked me out two days ago, yeah?”
Tong Xiao jumped in: “Right! He called around three or four, asked you out for dinner!”
Xia Weizhen: “He got hurt that night, Pheromones went haywire—must’ve been your doing!”
Tao Xirui nodded furiously.
Shen Mingshu lifted his chin: “Got proof? Cops helped, didn’t they? They haven’t come for me—why pin it on me?”
Tong Xiao and the others fumed silently.
Shen Mingshu pressed: “Besides, an Omega like you going out whoring at night—what could I do? Did I tell him not to chase my bro? Clearly he went and found some random—”
Tong Xiao and crew erupted:
“How can you say that?!!”
“Bullshit!”
“You’re too much!”
Mu Chenxing patted the most reliable-looking Tong Xiao and asked: “Does the school ban fighting?”
They froze.
Tong Xiao blinked: “Nah, Alphas fight all the time—no punishments heard. If any, it’s class stuff or minor private fines.”
Mu Chenxing nodded: “Got it, thanks.”
Tong Xiao: “Why ask—”
“Ah!”
Thud. Shen Mingshu hit the ground, yelping in pain.
Mu Chenxing, who hadn’t expected him to drop so easily: “…”
His dormmates, who hadn’t expected Mu Chenxing to actually swing: “!!!”
Three guys waiting in the distance jolted, sprinting over.
Mu Chenxing rubbed his nose, squatting down: “Sorry, didn’t think you’d be so fragile.”
He’d even modeled it on their dorm’s pigeon-toed shy guy—light tap with restraint—and Shen Mingshu still crumpled like that.
Shen Mingshu stared in disbelief: “W-Why’d you kick me?”
Mu Chenxing honestly: “Your mouth stinks too much. Can’t stand it.”
Shen Mingshu: “…”
Xia Weizhen trio: “…”
The running trio: “…”
Mu Chenxing offered sincerely: “I don’t like your style much. And you don’t seem to like me—mutual, actually. Fighting’s the best way to communicate, but I didn’t expect you to be so useless.”
Eyes gleaming with anticipation, “Did you not react in time? Wanna go again?”
Shen Mingshu sputtered in rage: “Are you nuts?”
Mu Chenxing: “How can you curse? Cursing Omegas are worse than ugly ones—no Alpha will want you~”
Shen Mingshu shrieked: “Mu Chenxing!!”
He jabbed at the three frozen newcomers: “What’re you idiots standing there for? Beat him!!”
The trio’s gazes hesitated toward Mu Chenxing.
Mu Chenxing’s eyes lit up. He rose—
Tong Xiao yanked him stumbling.
“Run!” Tong Xiao whispered.
Xia Weizhen grabbed his other arm; even Tao Xirui clutched his shirt hem.
Mu Chenxing shook them off: “No rush.”
He pushed them back, rolled his wrists and ankles, then crooked his fingers at the opposite trio: “Come on, all together.”
Shen Mingshu had given him tons of confidence—he didn’t believe he couldn’t take these three pretty boys.
But the trio shuffled back in unison.
Shen Mingshu, scrambling up: “…What’re you doing? Scared of one useless Omega?”
Mu Chenxing: “Tch, you’re an Omega too—think you’re useless?”
Shen Mingshu choked, flew into a humiliated fury, and charged with a wild swing: “I’ll kill you!”
Mu Chenxing sidestepped easily, blocked the arm, and flung—Shen Mingshu faceplanted again.
Everyone: “!!”
Mu Chenxing: “…Hiss, I barely pushed and you can’t stand?”
Weren’t they Military Academy students?
No strength training? No combat drills? At least PE, right? How were they this weak??
Frustrated like he was made of steel but couldn’t be forged, he said: “You could’ve countered by twisting like this. And your stance—bend your knees a bit, more stable. Try it.”
Shen Mingshu thought it mockery and exploded: “Lin Xiu, you dead? Just watching me get bullied?!”
The trio exchanged looks, hesitantly clenched fists, charged with pigeon-toed steps and elbows tucked.
Mu Chenxing: “…”
Eyes hurt.
Fight lust vanished.
He dodged lackadaisically, knee-kicking their hollows—extra light, fearing they’d break.
Thud, thud, thud. They knelt one after another, howling; one even wah-wah-wahed crying.
Yes, wah-wah-wah.
Mu Chenxing: “…”
Now his head throbbed too.
Shen Mingshu, one hand on hip, finger-jabbing: “Mu Chenxing! B-Bullying classmates—I’m telling the teacher!”
Mu Chenxing: “…Look close: four of you on one me. You’re the bullies!”
Thick skin was a barracks essential—learn nothing else, master that.
Shen Mingshu stomped furiously: “Just you wait!”
The trio scrambled up and followed.
Mu Chenxing: “Tch, no manners.”
Xia Weizhen trio: “…”
Mu Chenxing scanned around: “Everyone bored? No classes?”
The crowd that had gathered to gawk scattered like birds and beasts.
“This Omega’s so fierce.”
“Which class?”
“Never heard of such a fierce Omega!”
Mu Chenxing frowned, turned to his dormmates: “Where’m I fierce? I’ve been smiling and talking nice, right?”
Xia Weizhen trio: “…”
A distant bell rang.
They snapped to:
“Shit, shuttle’s leaving!”
“Hurry!”
“Xia Xia!”
Tao Xirui saw Mu Chenxing frozen, grabbed and dragged him running.
Mu Chenxing jogged after, boarding in the last seconds.
Before he could lament his panting after a short sprint, the shuttle lifted off—buildings blurred into streaks outside in seconds.
Mu Chenxing: “!”
Thrilled, he groped everywhere, ignoring the crowd’s whispers.
Tong Xiao instead pulled him to the back, glaring daggers at them.
Even timid Xia Weizhen and Tao Xirui shielded him—backs turned, heads ducked, nervous as hell.
Mu Chenxing speechless, eyed the crowd.
They averted gazes.
Through them, he spotted furious Shen Mingshu, surrounded like a star—ranting to someone, ignoring him.
Mu Chenxing withdrew his gaze, scanned again.
Over a hundred in the shuttle, heights from 5’7″ to 6’2″—he stood out tall; must be over 6′ even.
Mu Chenxing exhaled slightly.
So even as an Omega, he matched his idea of a man.
—
Like hell!!!
Mu Chenxing stared at clusters of youths striding past, averaging nearly 6’3″—numb.
Hopelessly, probing his dormmates: “All Alphas that tall?”
Tong Xiao: “Nah, Military Academy Alphas average taller.”
Xia Weizhen grinned: “That’s why everyone wants in—academy Alphas are top-tier!”
Even Tao Xirui twisted his hem shyly: “Academy Alphas are handsome.”
Mu Chenxing: “…”
Jealous and envious, he ogled a pack of tall, buff youths approaching.
They noticed.
One whistled from afar: “Little Omega, you’re adorable—senpai buy you dinner?”
Mu Chenxing: “?”
Glanced around, met his dormmates’ envious stares—got it.
He turned back, deadpanned a middle finger.
—Adorable my ass.
Worried the gesture wasn’t universal, he mouthed in sync: Asshole!
They got it; smiles froze.
Companions gawked.
“Holy shit, fierce Omega!”
“Holy shit, Omega swearing?!”
“When did our school’s Omegas get so rough?”
Mu Chenxing, thoroughly satisfied, slung his arm around the dazed Tong Xiao’s shoulders. “C’mon, time for class.”
