Only half of the cover of the capsule compartment was transparent, and due to the limited angle, Chu Shici could only see two people.
He wasn’t sure how many alphas there were outside, but from their loud noises, he can determine that there were at least five of them.
The leading man held a slender metal wire in his hand and poked a few times at the edge of the capsule.
The next second, the hatch of the capsule compartment was forcibly opened.
The man pressed four metal patches against the inner wall of the capsule. The patch is thin and small, and the colour is the same as the inner wall, which is indistinguishable by the naked eye.
The people outside clapped their hands, “Okay, divide into three groups and choose a place to hide. When he is stunned, come and grab him.”
Chu Shici couldn’t help poking his head out to check out the situation.
The rough-looking man was holding the hatch cover with one hand, with a relaxed and casual expression on his face; it seemed that they did this often.
He closed the hatch casually and turned to look at the people around him: “Every patch used is a patch wasted. I hope that beta looks good and can reap good money.”
“Ugly or not, it doesn’t matter if the light is turned off. Although I can’t see his face clearly, he has a good figure, slender waist and long legs. He also wears military boots, so he must have joined the army with his gender hidden. No matter what he looks like, just based on his past identity alone, surely he will fetch good money.”
“You’re right. If you think about it carefully, it seems that we can definitely make a profit. The alpha pheromone here is so strong, it stinks. Thinking about it this way, it would be nice to have a beta, at least he’s not smelly.”
The leading man suddenly yelled, “Why didn’t you say that he was wearing military boots before! Call a few more brothers over here! Damn, none of the soldiers are easy to deal with.”
The conversation gradually faded away, and Chu Shici ran out from under the bookshelf, holding a marker pen, and marked four small black dots on the place where the patch had been installed.
By the time he finished his work, he could no longer hear any voices.
Chu Shici slightly estimated the number of people in ambush, at least 6 alphas, not counting follow-up reinforcements.
Thinking of this, he turned around anxiously, ‘Tong bro*, did you encounter this plot in the original story of the hero? ‘
*(System in chinese is pronounced xi(4th) tong(3rd). So he is calling him in a familiar way. Idk how to make this into english with the same feel. System bro? Brother system? System-ge?)
The system sipped on his tea slowly while reading a document: [Why are you so worried? He is the male lead of a feel-good novel*, not the male lead of a yellow novel*. No matter how sluggish he appears to be now, he is a one-man army. In the original text, he went to the city at the very beginning, subdued all the alphas, and his reputation spread throughout the entire Desolate Star, so no one would dare to mess with him.]
*(original says: 爽文 which are basically novels which have male leads who are so strong, they do things like beating up villains, conquering empires, face-slapping etc, this makes the reader feel good.)
*(Yellow novel: 黄文 is basically a book filled with pornography.)
‘Then what happened now? ‘
[Oh, his vitality value is too low, and he has no intention of dominating the Desolate Star. Before you came, he was living in a daze, and those alphas didn’t even know there was someone like him. If his reputation value in Desolate Star is presented right in front of us now, I can guarantee that in this period in the original text, it is at least 80. But now, the male protagonist has a prestige value of -80.]
‘Why is it negative? ‘
[Because he is a beta, both betas and omegas are the prey of criminals in Desolate Star. So you have to work hard, increase the vitality of the male protagonist quickly, and let him return to his original strength like in the original text, punching the Desolate Star in the face and kicking the Empire’s ass, the awe-inspiring son of heaven admired by everyone.]
After hearing what it said, Chu Shici suddenly felt that it was absurd.
He didn’t understand what happened to Su Zheyan, which made the person who was supposed to be as dazzling as the sun disintegrate to become dust. In order to survive, even his dignity of being a human being has been trampled on by others so wantonly.
Although he didn’t get along with Su Zheyan for a long time, at most three days, Chu Shici still regarded him as one of his own.
Besides, Su Zheyan only seemed indifferent, but he was actually kind to him. If Su Zheyan can’t beat them, he will come out to help, he can’t just stand and watch the hero being bullied idly.
Chu Shici picked up the princess dress, rummaged in the capsule for a while, and found a long and thin iron nail.
He waved the iron nail twice, and felt that he could really do it.
The system looked at him blankly, [With all due respect, you should stop. You are a toy robot, not as powerful as a southern cockroach.]*
*(lmaooo they say cockroaches never die: it’s true.)
‘Why, I am much bigger than it. ‘
[But cockroaches can fly, live in the sea, land and air, can you do it?]
Chu Shici fell into silence.
Such a cruel reality, he was about to cry.
___
Today Su Zheyan went shopping in the city, and saw a beta’s body on the side of the road.
The man was wearing a torn military uniform, black and gold, belonging to the Imperial Mech Force.
According to the onlookers, this man hid his gender and joined the army, and was exiled to the Desolate Star.
The place he landed just happened to be in an alpha camp outside the city, and he was forcibly dragged away before he woke up from the dizziness.
After playing enough, the group of people took him to a small market to sell.
In less than five days, the former mecha soldier turned into a mutilated corpse.
Su Zheyan stood in front of the corpse for a long time, took off his coat, wrapped him up, and carried him outside the city to find a place to bury him.
Looking at the torn military uniforms scattered on the ground, Su Zheyan fell into deep thought.
He remembered that when he was just born, betas accounted for 80% of the total population. Compared with AO, they are ordinary, but they are an important part of society.
He did not know when, but beta slowly became a vulnerable minority group, and the enforcement of the labour law forced many betas to be left without a job.
At the same time, the Empire removed the prospects of betas joining the army, and those who violated the law were exiled to the Desolate Star.
Su Zheyan couldn’t remember why betas suddenly disappeared in large numbers.
Not only him, many people couldn’t understand what’s going on either.
It seems that there is some kind of higher power that erased any memory of the role of betas from everyone in the Empire over those few years. They couldn’t even remember the names of those betas, and they couldn’t even find any relevant traces of betas in the imperial database.
It’s just that from time to time someone claims that they vaguely remember that there were many betas living in the empire.
What happened this morning casted a haze over Su Zheyan’s heart.
When he was buying clothes for the robot doll in the city, he was harassed by a group of alphas in an alley.
Killing this group of trash didn’t make him feel any better, but worse.
On the way out of the city, someone threw gold coins at him and asked him how much he charged for a night.
He chopped off the head and carried it all the way out, no one dared to stop him this time.
Although from the beginning to the end, those people didn’t even touch the corner of his clothes, Su Zheyan was still feeling extremely irritable.
This sort of thing happened to him every day as long as there were people around him.
Originally, he was famished, but when he got here, he couldn’t even take a bite out of the box of nutrition paste.
Su Zheyan did not know how he became what he is now, maybe the environment is too harsh, or the criminals are too disgusting.
Whenever a living person approaches him, he wants to draw his knife and cut them down.
Alpha pheromones are everywhere in the air, so strong that even he, a beta, feels disgusted.
He will always have the illusion of having breathing difficulty, and he will feel better once he returns to the capsule and smells the perfume he sprayed inside.
There may be good people in that group of criminals, but Su Zheyan can’t communicate with these people, and he can’t integrate into this society.
The time since he arrived to Desolate Star was not long, however, in just three days, the idea of suicide appeared in his mind.
But on the third night, the robot doll suddenly came alive.
He can run, jump and speak, and likes to fight his fingers.
The robot doll fascinated him more.
___
Chu Shici waited for a long time until seven o’clock in the evening when he heard familiar footsteps outside.
It was the sound of military boots, and he knew that Su Zheyan was back.
He set the ladder against the entrance and climbed up slowly, poking his head to look out.
Through the transparent cover, Chu Shici saw Su Zheyan, and Zhang old man’s words once again appeared in his mind.
‘He looks very good-looking, but once you see him, you’ll feel cold. ‘
The more Chu Shici looks at him, the more he felt that what Zhang old man said was really appropriate.
Su Zheyan was blond, fair-skinned, and extremely handsome, like a prince who walked out of a fairy tale book.
But his eyes were lifeless, and there was no vitality in his body that a living person should have. He’s like a walking dead, and it makes people feel chills on their backs.
Chu Shici didn’t know what Su Zheyan experienced outside during the day, those eyes that he had painstakingly lit up yesterday night had become dim again.
He couldn’t help reaching out to touch the transparent cover.
Su Zheyan didn’t respond to him, but an imperceptible smile appeared on his face the moment he saw him.
[Vigor value +1, current vitality value 21/100.]
Chu Shi was joyful, he knew that the protagonist loves him.
He was almost always expressionless on the outside but frequently smiled in front of him.
This is his special treatment.
Chu Shici pointed to the four black spots on the inner wall of the capsule cabin, and waved the iron nails to alert Su Zheyan.
The sound insulation of the cabin wall is very good, and the voice of the robot is too small.
Su Zheyan couldn’t hear what Chu Shici said, but he could guess what he meant from his actions.
He took a deep breath, and his face, which had begun to light up, started to sink again.
Seeing that he turned to leave, Chu Shici quickly hit the ledge a few times. Stretching out eight fingers, indicating that there are more enemies than his two hands combined.
Su Zheyan didn’t understand, but he didn’t need to understand.
There was very little fog tonight, which was why these people chose to surround him tonight.
He turned his head to look around, his eyes pausing in several places, “Stop hiding, come out.”
The people hiding behind the bunker noticed his cold gaze and came out one after another.
There were a total of thirteen people.
When Su Zheyan was looking around, they were also looking at him.
It wasn’t until they saw his face that those people understood what the old man meant.
The light shone on him, he was handsome and noble, like an ancient Greek god. The first time you see him, you will be amazed by his appearance.
But after being amazed, you’ll just feel cold all over. He is more like a cold statue than a living person. Lacking vitality, lacking energy. From the eyes to the demeanour, there is a calm yet deadly air about him.
The leading man lost his mind for a moment, and then calmed down in an instant. He looked back at his brothers and found that they also looked complicated.
The man smacked his lips and muttered softly, “Fuck, I thought the dead face was just an exaggeration, but I didn’t expect it to be such a fitting description.”
The person next to him suggested, “Boss, it’s better to gouge his eyes or cover them up. I think the main reason is that the eyes are too provocative, maybe it’s just…”
His voice stopped abruptly.
The leading man only felt a brush of air and saw a flash in front of his eyes, and a dagger pierced his subordinate’s throat. He turned his head suddenly to see that their prey tonight was still standing in front of the capsule.
There was no expression on his face, but his blue eyes, like a whirlpool of death, were burning with anger.
The prey, holding a bloody machete, approached the alphas in front of him step by step. The military boots stepped on the ground, making a steady sound, and the leading man involuntarily took two steps back.
Showing cowardness in front of a beta made him angry, “There are dozens of us here, and he is only one, brothers go together!”
There was a loud shout outside, even Chu Shici in the capsule heard it.
He found the hatch switch inside, and jumped out of the capsule holding the iron nail.
Whoever dares to touch his mission target today, he will stab their feet until it rots!
