Chapter 91

The flight vehicle carried several hundred people, but only their group of 64 Omegas.

This batch was transporting soldiers headed to the front lines, and they were the only Omegas on board.

A few others carried bags of snacks and drinks, but no one else had dragged along an entire suitcase full like they did.

The group of Omegas was stunned.

Mu Chenxing said, “What are you standing around for? Open the boxes!”

Shen Mingshu was speechless. “Are you a pig? We couldn’t finish them even if we opened them.”

Mu Chenxing turned and pinched his cheek. “My young master, who’s asking you to eat them? Can’t you see this whole flight vehicle’s full of Alphas and Betas?”

Already used to being pinched, Shen Mingshu blinked.

Tong Xiao suddenly realized. “Right, there are so many people.”

They quickly laid the suitcases down. “Hurry, grab the time to hand them out. Ship the empty boxes home before the spaceport, or the shipping fees double!”

The group of Omegas: “!!”

Soon, the flight vehicle filled with the sounds of hawking wares from several hundred people.

“Come on, try the specialty snacks from Liuli Star.”

“Bro, you gotta try these spicy meat strips. They’re amazing.”

“Like sour and sweet fruit jerky? Doesn’t matter if you don’t—give it a taste, you might love it.”

…

All so gentle, so tactful, so polite.

Mu Chenxing rolled his eyes, grabbed six bottles of drinks, and ran to a row of Alphas across the aisle.

“Want some juice? What do you mean no? Have you even tried it before saying no?! Try one!”

“You too!”

“What, not drinking? You’ll be thirsty later—take it!”

“Don’t be shy, it’s free!”

Not a single bottle left—he stuffed them one by one into the hands of the six Alphas, who took them in bewilderment.

Mu Chenxing then scooped up a pile of snacks and shoved them into their hands two steps away.

“Just drinks is too boring—add some snacks.”

“Come on, one pack each.”

He quickly handed out another six packs.

A dent immediately appeared in Mu Chenxing’s suitcase.

One of the Alphas asked, “Star Bro, is this some kind of mission? Why the sudden snack giveaway?”

Mu Chenxing said without batting an eye, “The Omega Association bought these specially for everyone. Wishing you all success in battle and a triumphant return!”

The Alphas were instantly touched.

“Oh man, you guys are so thoughtful.”

“Only Omegas are this attentive and caring!”

“Don’t worry—we’ll take good care of you once we reach the military district.”

Mu Chenxing smiled, turned back, and under the gaze of the Omegas who had been peeking over their seatbacks to watch him work, calmly returned to his seat.

That’s how you hand out snacks. Learn from it—just five hours left, no dawdling, get to it.”

The Omegas: “…”

Got it!

The group of Omegas clutched snacks and started distributing. In half an hour, they cleared out all 64 suitcases.

Every Alpha and Beta on board ended up with a bottle of drink and a pack of snacks. They were so moved, praising the Omegas’ thoughtfulness left and right, and even posted on Douyin to show off—making the Alphas and Betas on other flight vehicles green with envy.

Mu Chenxing even used a napkin to pad his foot, climbed onto his seat, and shouted to everyone, “Classmates, hold up your snacks!!”

The group raised them in unison, while surrounding Omegas squeezed into the aisle with their snacks to get in frame.

Mu Chenxing snapped several photos, hopped down satisfied, and sent them to various group chats. Even Fu Yuefeng and others on different flight vehicles sent back messages of jealousy.

With 64 empty suitcases shipped off, the Omegas sat steadily in their seats, leisurely munching the last bits of snacks, and even basked in the grateful @mentions from the Alphas on Douyin.

Everyone sighed in the new enlistee group chat:

“Star Star pulls through again!”

“As long as Star Star’s around, problems get solved before we even notice them.”

“Love this brainless follow-the-leader joy.”

“Like we threw an impromptu snack party—the folks on other flight vehicles are so jealous.”

“Hahaha, so fun, everyone munch munch on snacks~”

Mu Chenxing smiled faintly, deeply hiding his merits and name.

They ate and drank, and the five hours flew by.

At the ground transit station, Captain Lin Chuan from the Fourth Military District’s New Recruit Camp was already waiting for them.

He didn’t assemble anyone or lead the group. He just messaged Mu Chenxing and the others to pick up their equipment at the designated spot.

This batch consisted of the designated leaders and vice-leaders—three per group, with every four handling a team of 200 to 250 people. From the ground transit station onward, all recruits fell under these temporary leaders’ and vice-leaders’ management, including check-ins, safety, meals, and enlistment training management upon arrival at the military district.

Among all the leaders and vice-leaders, only Mu Chenxing, Shen Mingshu, Tong Xiao, and Chu Yuan were Omegas—and they weren’t taking the warship.

After hearing Captain Lin Chuan’s arrangements, all the Alphas and Betas turned to look at the four.

Lin Chuan looked at Mu Chenxing too. “Any issues?”

Mu Chenxing: “Report, sir—no problems.”

Lin Chuan glanced at Tong Xiao and the other two, then asked again, “You know the situation with the Omegas, so you pick your vice-leaders. But logistics and medical personnel from other schools will board at various transit planets. You need to ensure everyone arrives safely at Changhong Star—no military district support during the process. Still no issues?”

Mu Chenxing thought for a moment and countered, “If a recruit misses the ship due to personal reasons, is that on me or them?”

Lin Chuan: “Only recruits who report to you count as your responsibility.”

Mu Chenxing: “How does the military district confirm a recruit has reported to me?”

Lin Chuan smiled. “Good question.”

He waved to a colleague behind him.

Several uniformed guys opened a nearby box and pulled out palm-sized devices.

Lin Chuan took one and handed it to Mu Chenxing. “All recruits scan their personal code with this to report. Once successful, they’re under your command.”

Mu Chenxing took the device, glanced at it, and saw a QR code sticker with “Usage Instructions” below.

He passed it to Tong Xiao and continued, “What if someone offends me and I don’t let them report? How would you know?”

…So direct? The other leaders were shocked and all looked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan’s smile widened. “You can try.”

Mu Chenxing narrowed his eyes. “Any requirement on reporting rate? Say my list has 235 people—what counts as passing?”

Lin Chuan nodded approvingly. “Smart.”

He scanned the group. “95% reporting rate is passing, but if there’s a suitable port entry record for a recruit at the spaceport, leaders and vice-leaders get penalized regardless of rate.”

In other words, passing was passing, but any negligence or malicious retaliation could be traced.

Mu Chenxing clenched his fist and tapped his left chest. “Understood. Thank you for the clarification, sir.”

Lin Chuan dropped his smile and saluted back. “See you in 14 days.”

He addressed the leaders who had received their scanning devices. “Falcon 1823 Warship launches in three hours. She’s yours now.”

He saluted the leaders and recruits with his team, then turned and left.

The on-site leaders, including graduates from other military academies, scattered with their devices to find their teams once Lin Chuan was gone.

The Alphas and Betas from Alliance First Military Academy crowded over instead.

“Star Bro, you got this?”

“Need help? We’ve got three hours.”

“Want us to assemble for you?”

Mu Chenxing was speechless. “This is nothing—worry about yourselves.”

“No pressure here—only about forty from other schools out of over two hundred. Easy.”

“Mine’s got over fifty. Just wait at the entrance later.”

“All pulled uniformly from schools—no worries.”

“You’ve got at least a hundred fifty slots, and they’re boarding at stops. You sure you can handle it?”

Mu Chenxing: “When have I ever dropped the ball? Keep underestimating like this, and you’ll suffer later.”

The Alpha classmates exchanged glances.

Fu Yuefeng immediately asked, “Since you’re good, tell us what pitfalls to watch for on the road.”

“Shouldn’t be any, right? Straight flight to the border.”

Mu Chenxing shook his head. “If your team’s all from your school, no big deal. But mix in other schools’ recruits, and problems will come.”

Everyone stared at him eagerly.

Mu Chenxing sighed helplessly and listed them. “First and foremost, maintain team harmony—absolutely no fights. Second, discipline: on the warship, follow all notices—no violations. Third…”

The group of Alphas nodded vigorously, pulling up holo-screens to take notes.

Once Mu Chenxing finished, they rushed off to find their teams.

Mu Chenxing led Tong Xiao and the other two back to the main group.

The Omegas, waiting tensely and nervously in the departure hall, swarmed them the moment they saw.

“Star Star, we shipped all the express boxes.”

“Yours too.”

“Next, head to the spaceport?”

“What’d the officer say? Safety stuff?”

Mu Chenxing first thanked Tao Xirui for helping ship the luggage, then swept his gaze over this first wave of Omegas heading to the border and smiled. “Hungry? Let’s hit a restaurant for dinner first.”

The Omegas: “?”

Mu Chenxing pointed ahead to the mall. “Saw a fast food place over there—cheap, shouldn’t exceed 35 Alliance Coins per person. Then we can browse the transit station’s specialty shops.”

The Omegas: “??”

Tong Xiao was incredulous. “Aren’t we supposed to assemble? And…” He checked the message. “Two more schools, 72 reports pending.”

Mu Chenxing stayed calm. “Those two schools are in sectors 132 and 271—the closest is at least two hours out. We’re not on the warship anyway; commercial flight at midnight. So…” He smiled. “Eat, drink, shop easy.”

The Omegas exchanged looks.

Shen Mingshu gritted his teeth. “Then why’d you make us hand out the snacks?!”

Mu Chenxing looked innocent. “If not, you’d be stressing how to deal with them now.”

Shen Mingshu: “…”

Mu Chenxing: “Eat or not? I’m starving.”

“…Eat!”

The group of Omegas stowed their luggage temporarily, enjoyed a hearty meal, browsed planetary specialty shops, and soon time was up.

Mu Chenxing led them back to the departure hall to wait for the other military academies’ logistics and medical teams.

Before 9:30 PM, two batches of recruits arrived one after another.

Mu Chenxing had Tong Xiao and the others wait in the hall while he hopped on city flight vehicles to fetch both teams one by one.

72 recruits: 44 technical logistics, 28 medical—53 Betas, 19 Omegas.

The Omegas were fine—all nervous and compliant. Mu Chenxing asked, they answered; he said stay in the waiting area, they stayed.

But those 53 Betas were different.

“Why head to the spaceport so early? Two and a half hours till boarding.”

“We already reported—you don’t need to babysit us.”

“In transit stations and spaceports like this, you Omegas need to watch yourselves. Board already; we don’t need it.”

The worst-tempered Shen Mingshu’s face darkened on the spot. “We’re the leaders—”

Mu Chenxing held him back and smiled at the Betas. “Add friends and join the group first, or I can’t account for you.”

As military district-appointed leaders, the Betas added them grudgingly despite their dissatisfaction.

Once all 72 had friended the four leaders and joined the big group, Mu Chenxing posted a video in the chat.

Everyone: “?”

Mu Chenxing said to the Betas who’d spoken up, “This is my highlights from last month’s University Arena Competition. Watch it a few times.” Then to Tong Xiao, “Thanks to our vice-leader Tong for the edit.”

The Betas scoffed.

“Funny—making us watch your videos?”

“Speechless. What does your competition have to do with us?”

“We know you can fight. Who wants to watch?”

Mu Chenxing grinned amiably at them as he opened the group chat and sent a voice message: “Hurry up and watch more of it. Try to learn something. Whoever beats me later gets free time.”

The Betas: “……”

Mu Chenxing closed the holo-screen and leisurely rolled up his sleeves. “Who wants to go first?”

Tong Xiao and the others immediately led all the Omegas back a few meters, clearing out some space.

The Betas: “……”

“Wait, who’s fighting you?”

“We’re here to check in, not brawl.”

“And there’s still so much time left—why do we have to follow you guys?”

“Yeah, why?”

Mu Chenxing stayed calm. “Because I can beat you.”

The Betas: “……”

After a long pause, one Beta cleared his throat lightly and asked, “If we can’t have free time, what’s next?”

Mu Chenxing looked at him. “To the airship port.”

“But we—”

“The airship port has a self-service dining area. The selection isn’t huge, but it’s enough to fill you up. It’s more relaxed than eating at the transit station, and you get a student discount—fifty percent off. Cheap.”

The Betas, fresh off nearly ten hours of long-haul flight: “……”

The nineteen obedient Omegas who’d been sitting quietly also straightened up and looked toward Mu Chenxing.

Mu Chenxing asked again: “Go eat now, or fight me first, then eat—only to possibly get hassled by me later, chased down every day for more beatings? Pick one.”

The Betas: “……”

Did this even need choosing?

Mu Chenxing smiled in satisfaction. “Looks like we’ve reached a consensus. Let’s go.”
