Su Ling recounted what happened at the water bank, and felt a little complicated in his heart when he thought of the scene where the crocodile twisted its body in a weird angle and ran away like there’s no tomorrow. At that moment, he was scared senseless, but he didn’t expect the other party to be more scared than him, somewhat funny.

As Gu Liheng listened to the recount, his eyes briefly swept over the side of Su Ling’s neck, “You should be correct about that.”

Su Ling touched the back of his neck, and there was still an unpleasant smell in the air. Fanning his palms in front of his nose, he said, “You are much calmer than the animals.” Then he smiled, “Go and wear a mask ba, don’t hold back your expression. I don’t mind it, even I myself can’t stand the smell.”

Gu Liheng: “No need.” He pointed to a big tree not far away and said, “I’ll stand behind the tree; call me if something happened.”

Su Ling: “You should go back and take off your isolator to relax for a while.” He smiled and nodded, “I am safer than you.”

Gu Liheng couldn’t refute this. He nodded after briefly checked out the surrounding, “Okay.”

After Gu Liheng left, Su Ling took off the isolator again. After washing, he sent a message to Gu Liheng and went back to the tent, feeling refreshed. His hair was slightly damp, and he didn’t wear a jacket, only wearing a round-neck camouflage t-shirt. In this environment with dim lighting, his neck was particularly conspicuous.

Gu Liheng had already reattached his isolator when he received Su Ling’s message, but a faint fragrance like red wine still lingered in the air. Leaning on a tree next to the tent, he glanced over Su Ling before walked away, “Contact me if something happened.”

Su Ling smiled and nodded, “If there is danger by the water, remember to call me.”

Sitting at the entrance of the tent, Su Ling took advantage of the time Gu Liheng went to wash and took off his isolator. Thinking for a while, he took out the sachet that Gu Liheng gave him previously. The sachet was placed under his nose, and a cool aroma wafted out, saving him from the unpleasant smell. However, because the unpleasant smell came from the back of his neck, it rushed back to his nose after a while. Refreshing fragrance mixing with a smelly stink caused Su Ling wrinkled his nose in disgust.

When Gu Liheng came back, the two were ready to sleep. Gu Liheng suggested, “You should take the isolator off to sleep.” As the young man is still young, his gland is just starting to mature and is not stable yet. He should be careful during this growing period.

Su Ling shook his head and said, “How could you possibly fall asleep like that then?” Although the scent of pheromones will become lighter when one is sleeping, it is impossible not to smell the stink as their tents are so close together.

Gu Liheng said, “It won’t affect me,” but seeing Su Ling’s disbelief expression, he added, “It’s safer.”

Su Ling thought of the wild animals scattering away earlier, and was a bit convinced. “Then you can take it off too, it will be very uncomfortable to keep it on, and it is not good for the health of your gland as well.”

Gu Liheng: “I’m fine.”

Su Ling raised his eyebrows, “How could you be okay? Are you worried that I will react to your pheromones?”

Gu Liheng was silent.

Su Ling shook the sachet in his hand, “I will put this next to my pillow. My pheromone and yours will not react to each other anyway so nothing will happen.” It’ll be fine if something really happens!

Seeing Gu Liheng hesitated, Su Ling decided to be stubborn and said, “If you don’t take it off, I won’t either.”

In the end, Gu Liheng compromised. They sleep without the isolator, and both slept with a sachet beside them to relax the glands. Nothing happened all night, and there were no birds even around the tent, so it was as quiet as when they were in the villa. When Su Ling came out of his tent, Gu Liheng has already returned from the water bank. Su Ling regretfully attached his isolator. If his pheromones were normal, something should happen ba!

In the next two days, the two kept travelling south. The further they ventured, the harder it is to walk, and there were more poisonous insects and beasts. In the end, Su Ling took off his isolator during the day as well. Only when he needs to take out the Grade A spiritual plants, he would put on the isolator so as not to overcome the fragrance with the smell of his pheromones. However, there has been no trace of Xian Mo Yu.

On the morning of the 4th day, Su Ling finished breakfast and contacted Darry. Su Ling was using the video mode, while Darry using the 3D holographic projection mode. Darry greeted him with a smile and approached the Redthorn Ball. As he walked around, Su Ling’s 3D image followed him. At first glance, it looked like Su Ling was walking beside Darry.

“Good morning.” Su Ling greeted the Redthorn Ball.

Redthorn Ball heard his voice, its branches bend towards the place where the sound came out, and the filaments on the red ball raised up, waving frantically.

Su Ling was stunned, and smiled, “I just saw you yesterday. Why are you so enthusiastic?”

Darry took off his isolator, released his pheromone and prepared to communicate with Redthorn Ball to harvest the ball liquid, “You haven’t been next to each other for a few days…hiss…”

Darry held his forehead and took a breath, his expression complicated.

Su Ling was taken aback, “Darry, what happened?”

Darry put the isolator on and slowly frowned, “It panicked and refused to communicate with me.”

Su Ling was puzzled, “Panicked? Wasn’t it all right the other day?”

They had done some experiments before his departure. Su Ling himself was not there but appeared in a holographic image to communicate with the Redthorn Ball. That way could also enable him to assist Darry in harvesting the ball liquid. The first few days went well too.

Darry looked at the Redthorn Ball and saw that the filaments on the ball were waving frantically. Before this, he thought Redthorn Ball was just excited to hear Su Ling’s voice. Now it seems that it should be flustered.

“I don’t know, I will check it.”

The test result came out quickly, “Everything is normal, no insects, and it has balanced nutrition.”

Su Ling tried to calm down the Redthorn Ball. It took a while for the filaments on the red ball to settle down. The two tried again to get the ball liquid, but still failed and Darry’s expression became worse.

Su Ling frowned and turned to look at Gu Liheng, who was frowning slightly. He asked Darry, “How much more ball liquid is needed?”

Darry: “One week.”

Su Ling made a decision, “We are returning now.”

Hanging up the call, he smiled at Gu Liheng and said, “Don’t worry, we should reach before noon. You should go and contact Hua Cheng.”

Gu Liheng looked down at him and pursed his thin lips, “I will accompany you again after a week.”

Su Ling nodded, “Okay.”

The two returned quickly and reached the villa at half-past ten. The Redthorn Ball calmed down in a series of comforts by Su Ling talking to it and stroking its leaves. Darry harvested the ball fluid and sent it to the hospital immediately. Su Ling moved all three plants to the garden to bask in the sun. They gently swayed their branches and leaves, and looked very happy.

The next morning, when Su Ling, Gu Liheng and Darry entered the spiritual plant’s room, they found the three plants that were still joyful the previous afternoon, hugging their leaves together, shaking frantically.

Needless to say, Su Ling saw their panic without Darry’s translation. Su Ling approached them, stroking their leaves to comfort the plants. Just when he touched them, the leaves came to entangled his hands and wrists, and the filaments were actively drilling into his sleeves.

Su Ling: “…what are you afraid of?”

At this moment, Domi walked up to Gu Liheng and said, “Master, the police station received a report and came to the villa to investigate.”

Gu Liheng frowned slightly, and Su Ling was taken aback. A police report? The three came to the living room, where three police officers stood.

“President Gu, there are reports from the public that there is a stench in the area of your villa, which we suspected to be a smell of rotting animals. Please cooperate with the investigation.”

What?

Su Ling couldn’t help asking, “Is it a misunderstanding; why didn’t I smell it?”

The police officer was also puzzled. After all, he did not smell anything when he arrived at the villa. “Maybe it’s a misunderstanding, but since there are a lot of people complaining, and some people even suffered respiratory attacks,” he looked at Gu Liheng embarrassedly, “please cooperate with us.”

Gu Liheng: “Who lodged the report?”

The police officer pointed down the hill and said, “The area at the downwind of your villa. They were having a party last night. We contacted the participants, and their statement was the same.” In fact, those people were imagining that Gu Liheng is a terrorist who killed people and buried the body without blinking. Their face was pale when the policemen took the statement.

Gu Liheng knows a little bit about the people in the villa area. The one who lives downwind of the villa is a writer. Although the writer often has ideas that are out of the world, he is not a nonsense person. He nodded and said, “You can come in to investigate.”

Su Ling’s body stiffened into a straight line. His hand that was grasping on Gu Liheng’s hand unconsciously exerted more force. Because of emotional tension, his body wanted to emit pheromones but was blocked by the isolator, causing his neck to feel stuffy.

Gu Liheng glanced at the beasts around them, his voice was steady as he said, “They were attracted by the fragrance.”

Worried that his voice would be too loud and startle the wild beast, Su Ling pressed himself against Gu Liheng’s back and whispered, “Do you want me to put away the spiritual plants?”

Gu Liheng could feel a slightly hot and wet sensation from his back. A ticklish numbing sensation ran through his arm and went straight to the palm of his hand. His shoulder moved slightly.

“No, the moment the fragrance disappears, their attention will immediately shift to us.”

Though they were wearing green camouflage uniforms, which have a good camouflage effect, but the spiritual plants were right next to them. With the beasts placing all of their attention on the spiritual plants, he and Su Ling would be very conspicuous if the spiritual plants suddenly disappear. Gu Liheng quickly made a decision, “After 10 seconds, I will throw out some compressed smoke spheres around us, and you take the opportunity to put away the spiritual plants. Then we will move to other places.”

Su Ling uttered an ‘En’ as an acknowledgement. Then he raised his hand to touch the stud earring while staring at the spiritual plants.

A few seconds later, Gu Liheng said, “Now!”

The moment Gu Liheng finished speaking, many black pearl-like spheres suddenly appeared in his hands. He moved his feet slightly, then flung out the spheres in his hands to all directions. Instantly, thick white smoke rose around, and Su Ling quickly returned the spiritual plants to his space storage. Sounds from various beasts and chaotic footsteps could be heard from the smoke. After listened intently for a moment, Gu Liheng took out a gas mask to Su Ling and pulled Su Ling to continue walking south.

A moment later, the two of them reached the center of the smokescreen, and all the beasts had already run away. Surrounded by white smokes, they could not see anything except each other. However, this state only lasted for less than half a minute. They passed through the smoke, and their vision restored. It was messy around them, everywhere were scattered leaves and lower trees were bent; obviously caused by the beasts that had just run away.

Su Ling pulled down the mask and looked around. He could still see the animals running away in the far distance, he asked, “If I take out the spiritual plants again, the fragrance will attract them. What should I do?”

Gu Liheng: “Repeat the same thing again.”

Su Ling looked up at him, his expression was calm and normal, and he was not nervous at all. That makes Su Ling curious, was it due to Gu Liheng having a steady state of mind or he just has an abnormal facial expression?

Su Ling: “Are you not afraid?”

Gu Liheng could hear Su Ling’s breathing rate a little faster than usual. His tone was calm as he replied, “Don’t be afraid, we have enough equipment, and someone is ready to back up at any time. We are safe.”

Su Ling patted his chest and tried to breathe evenly. He laughed and said, “Fortunately, I have you on this trip. I thought too simple of it and have underestimated the danger.”

Gu Liheng: “You will still be well-prepared even if I don’t come. Your plan was very meticulous.”

After reading the travel plan, Gu Liheng knew that the young man could do this well, but he(SL) would need a lot of money to buy the supplies.

Continued to head south, they would take the spiritual plants out for at least 5 minutes every half an hour, and every time nearby beasts would approach to smell the fragrance. Su Ling was nervous at first, and after a few times, he became very calm.

As the light from the sky started to fade, the two found an open space not far from a water source and prepared to rest. Gu Liheng took out 2 green single tents, which were specially made to prevent moisture and insects. When Gu Liheng was setting up a tent, Su Ling said that he wanted to help but was stopped by Gu Liheng’s word saying, “You can go and prepare our food.”

So Su Ling sat next to Gu Liheng and laid out 2 large and 1 small self-heating packed meals in front of him. While waiting for the food to be cooked, he watched Gu Liheng busying with the tents. Gu Liheng was very fast, he obviously knows the tent very well. In just a short while after the tents were set up, their meal is done as well.

Su Ling handed him 2 large packed meals and asked, “Is this enough?” He had long discovered that Gu Liheng’s appetite is much larger than him. The size of this portion was prepared according to what Gu Liheng ate during lunch.

Gu Liheng took the boxes and replied, “It’s enough.” Sitting down next to Su Ling, he looked over Su Ling’s meal and added, “There is a lot of food, you can eat more.”

Su Ling shook his head, “This is enough for me.”

Gu Liheng opened his packed meal and said, “You are thin enough and do not need to control your intake of food.”

Su Ling blinked, slightly embarrassed as he answered, “My appetite is only this big, I am not trying to lose weight.”

Gu Liheng glanced at him, “That’s good.” He paused, his head tilted slightly, “I don’t understand why Omega always wants to lose weight.”

Su Ling moved his thin wrist, “I don’t understand either.” He tilted his head and smiled. “Probably because it might be easier to walk as the wind blows.”

Gu Liheng’s eyes lit up with a smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, “A very interesting statement.”

Su Ling squeezed his chopsticks hard and restrained the emotions in his eyes. He turned to look at his food and started mixing the side dishes with the rice. Then he asked with curved eyes, “Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?”

Su Ling felt that he acted quite naturally when he saw Gu Liheng’s smile. But he was still worried that Gu Liheng would realize it himself, so he changed the subject, “There are different flavours of packed meals, which one do you like?”

Gu Liheng: “Either one is fine.”

Su Ling tilted his head to look at him, and smiled like usual, “Not a picky eater, huh? What a good habit.”

After the two of them had eaten, Gu Liheng went to bury their meal box and vegetable scraps.

The forest was very humid. Su Ling felt even warmer after dinner, and his fair complexion was red from the heat. He pulled down the zipper of his jacket and waved his hands to blow wind on his face. However, it was still very uncomfortable, especially the back of his neck. That was a normal reaction caused by the isolator being put on for a long time. Touching the back of his neck, Su Ling suddenly realized that Alpha would also need to take their isolator at night. If it is not because of the mutual attraction between Alpha and Omega, not sticking the isolator is better for the body.

Gu Liheng noticed his movement and said, “You should take off your isolator.”

Su Ling: “You should take off yours too.”

Gu Liheng: “I’m fine.”

Su Ling didn’t believe it, but he also knew Gu Liheng’s concerns. After all, he would react to Gu Liheng’s pheromone. Thinking for a while, Su Ling pointed to the left and said, “I’ll go to the river to clean myself, then you can go when I come back.” Both of them can relax during this period, and he really wants to wash. After what happened during the day, his body is sticky and uncomfortable.

“That’s very dangerous.”

Su Ling: “I will bring weapons and repellent powder along. Plus, I will contact you if something happened.” He paused before adding, “We can’t always be in each other’s sight.”

Gu Liheng thought about their gender and was convinced by Su Ling, “Okay.”

Su Ling turned on the light function of his bracelet and headed to the water source with a bottle of powder spray in his hand. The water flow in the river was not wide, but it was very long. One can’t see the end of both sides with just a glance. The reflection of the trees on the water surface forms a dark spot, making it impossible to see the bottom of the water. Su Ling sprayed the repellent powder around, and the insects hidden in the grass scattered away quickly. At the river edge, Su Ling scooped up some water and observed; the water quality was good. He rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, then bent over to wash his face, and felt much better. Next, he took off the isolator, wiped the back of his neck with a wrung wet towel. His eyes narrowed comfortably, and he heaved a long breath.

Soon, the smell of his pheromones wafted out. Su Ling wrinkled his nose and bent over to wash the towel. When he got up, the water surface flashed, his body stiffened, and he immediately looked at that direction. There was a pair of eyes, less than 2 meters away from him. At the next second, the eyes raised a bit from the water and exposed half of the creature’s body. That long mouth, sharp teeth, long tail, and wrinkled skin, although a little different from what he saw on Earth, that is clearly a crocodile!

Su Ling’s eyes widened, and his heart instantly jumped to his throat. “AH!!!” He quickly backed away and his pheromone became stronger due to emotional ups and downs. The crocodile’s long tail lifted up and slammed towards the water, which propelled its body forward like a cannonball and attacking him with its mouth open.

Su Ling couldn’t breathe. All of a sudden, the crocodile’s huge body froze in the air, then turned 180 degrees in the air in a very complicated posture. It splashed back to the surface of the water, sped to the other side of the shore in a panic, and ran away like its life depended on it. At the same time, as if there’s a zoo in the river, a lot of animals suddenly appeared. They ran away in a panic, the water churned from the waves caused by the movements. Then tranquillity was restored in the blink of an eye.

Su Ling: “…” Why are they running away like they saw a ghost?

That caused his heart to tighten, is there a big one coming? As he was still thinking, footsteps came from behind him. Su Ling turned around and saw a beam of light shining at him. Then Gu Liheng strode to his side, “Are you injured anywhere?”

Su Ling shook his head, “No, I was just frightened…”

As he said, Su Ling noticed Gu Liheng’s sorry appearance. There were leaves and feathers from unknown birds on his shoulders, his clothes were wrinkled, and his black military boots were covered with dirt and grass scraps. Moreover, there were obvious animal footprints on his boots. Su Ling grabbed Gu Liheng’s wrist and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Were you injured?”

Gu Liheng frowned slightly, “No, I hurried over when I heard your scream. Along the way, I met a lot of panicked animals and bumped into a few of them.”

His appearance doesn’t look like ‘only’ a few animals bumped into him though.

Gu Liheng took a glance around, “What’s the matter? Have you seen a wild beast?”

All the birds and insects around were gone. There seemed to be no other living thing except for the two of them, eerily quiet. Su Ling shook his head. He felt relieved and relaxed after seeing Gu Liheng. As soon as he relaxed, his attention returned to the present, and he realized something. It smells too bad! Frowning, he put the isolator back on his neck. The moment his hand left the back of his neck, Su Ling suddenly realized what he was doing and looked up at Gu Liheng.

Gu Liheng’s expression didn’t change a bit, as if he didn’t smell anything. So he couldn’t help asking, “Is there a problem with your sense of smell?”

Gu Liheng: “No.”

Su Ling sighed, “You have a strong endurance,” Then he looked around before adding, “I think the reason why those animals were acting strangely is because of my pheromone.”

Su Ling watched the news while eating breakfast.

“That smelly Omega is actually a top student! He got the first place in the written test!”

“Too powerful! Could it be the scores were wrongly marked? Didn’t he give up one of the interviews? How could he get 65 points?”

“Perfect scores from the other 2 Areas plus full marks from the additional questions, amazing!”

“The person who said he won’t be able to enter the university, come out to get beaten!”

Su Ling took a sip of milk, swiped the screen, and paused when he came across a reply.

“His pheromone smells unpleasant because of an abnormal factor, and that’s not his original smell. To nickname the patient by his pain, this is terrible behaviour, and your character is worrying.”

This reply with golden colour ID was particularly conspicuous among the list of blue colour IDs. Su Ling noticed the colour first, then he saw the name – Doctor Ni An. He was a little surprised because he didn’t expect Doctor Ni An to come out to help him. The netizens were no less astonished than him.

“Wow! An account with verified name, this is really Doctor Ni An.”

“Doctor Ni An’s words is totally right!”

“Su Ling is so pitiful, having abnormal pheromone is already very pitiful, and yet he was ridiculed.”

“I heard that his pheromone has been bad since he was a child, and has been isolated by his classmates.”

“With such horrid learning environment, he still managed to get good grades, it’s really amazing!”

“Top student Omega!”

Su Ling looked at his new nickname being copied and pasted over and over,  he stopped reading and closed the news interface. Next, he opened the address book and sent a message: “Thank you, Doctor Ni An.”

When he walked out of the dining room, he received a reply from Doctor Ni An: “You’re welcome, I know about this too late. If Liheng didn’t contact me, I wouldn’t know about it. You were wronged.”

Su Ling paused and thanked him again. He returned to the living room and sat down next to Gu Liheng. After Gu Liheng sent a message to his assistant, he turned to look at Su Ling and met Su Ling’s eyes.

Su Ling’s eyes bent in joy, “You contacted Doctor Ni An?”

Gu Liheng nodded, “He is an expert in pheromone field and is the most suitable person to come forward.”

Su Ling felt warm in his heart. Although his male god usually looked serious and unsmiling, he is a very good person. And because Gu Liheng regarded him as a friend, he(GLH) considered things for his sake and took the initiative to help him.

Su Ling smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Gu Liheng: “You’re welcome, it’s no trouble at all.”

Su Ling: “Is there anything wrong or need to amend in my travel plan?”

Gu Liheng looked at him appreciatively and said, “You did a good job, just that there is some information that is not available online. I asked someone to add extra details in your plan. The finished version will be out soon.”

Su Ling couldn’t help sighing in appreciation, “Feels relieved to have you with me.”

Just then, Domi came in while pushing a large box. It walked past the living room and headed toward the room that stored their travel supplies. Curious, Su Ling asked, “What else did you buy?”

Gu Liheng: “Medicine, treatment device and food.”

Su Ling laughed, “It seems that I just need to bring myself.”

Gu Liheng: “Do you still have anything to do?”

Supporting his chin on his hand, Su Ling thought for a while and said, “If there is no result in the Silver Mist Forest, we will have to go to other places and the time used in between will not be short. The deadline for filling in the university application form is July 8th. I will most likely not be in Belle City at that time.”

Su Ling raised his eyes to look at Gu Liheng, “I will have to fill in the form first, but I don’t know much about the universities in the city. Do you have any suggestions?”

Gu Liheng: “What kind of university do you like?”

Su Ling thought for a while and said, “I want a university where I can learn real knowledge and can be creative. The university should be open-minded, and has top-notch spiritual plant major.”

Gu Liheng tapped his bracelet and transferred general information of 3 universities to Su Ling, “These 3 universities are good.”

In the list, two of them are public universities, and one is a private university. They have trained many excellent spiritual plant specialists, material harvesters, and perfumers. Moreover, their students have won many awards in various interstellar competitions. All 3 schools are excellent. After reading it carefully, Su Ling recorded down the unique code of the private university.

Gu Liheng saw that and asked, “Do you like the Saint Rose University?”

Su Ling nodded and tapped at the interface of his application form, “En, all of your recommendations are very good, and the location is strategic as well, but the Saint Rose university has the highest amount of scholarship.”

Though Saint Rose has the highest scholarship, its tuition fee is the highest among the 3 recommendations as well.

Gu Liheng: “…Are you short of money?”

Recalling about the money he has in his card, Su Ling shook his head: “No, but not rich either.”

Su Ling decisively filled out his application form, and then sent a screenshot to Lin Meng. Since 10 am, his communicator has never stopped ringing. All were calls from the admissions offices of various schools. He politely indicated that he has already filled his application form. By noon, the news regarding the form has spread out, and his communicator finally quieted down. After lunch, he asked Gu Liheng: “What is your personal ID number?”

Gu Liheng asked curiously, “Why do you need it?”

Su Ling: “To buy tickets ah.”

Thinking of Gu Liheng’s identity, and that rich people must have never bought tickets before, Su Ling explained, “Silver Mist Forest is pretty far, so the fastest way is to take the intercity suspension shuttle. And buying tickets requires personal ID number.”

Gu Liheng: “No need to buy tickets, I have arranged for our transportation.”

The next day, Su Ling was dumbfounded as he watched a circular aircraft slowly landed over the back garden. This arrangement is a bit too great!

After the black aircraft landed, the door on both sides of the aircraft belly popped open. Tall Alphas in camouflage clothes jumped down, 2 from each exit. The men stood by the aircraft, while a red-haired Alpha strode to Gu Liheng. With a smile that reveals a row of gleaming white teeth, the man waved his hand and greeted, “President Gu.”

Gu Liheng nodded and gave a brief introduction: “Su Ling, this is Hua Cheng[1], the second captain of the Leopard Mercenary Corps.”

Su Ling looked at Hua Cheng curiously and greeted, “Hello.”

Hua Cheng greeted him with a smile, and asked Gu Liheng, “Can we set off now?”

Gu Liheng nodded.

Turning his body sideways, Hua Cheng gestured at the aircraft and said, “Please.”

Su Ling followed Gu Liheng to the aircraft, and one of the Leopard Corps members jumped onto the aircraft to lead the road for the two. Su Ling discovered that printed behind their camouflage uniform was a leopard roaring with an open mouth, with a fierce aura.

The interior of the aircraft is very spacious. The members of the leopard introduced the areas to them as they walked past.  “Here is the resting area, we have a total of eight rooms, and the middle two rooms are reserved for you. This is the dining room, and that is the leisure area.”

“It takes about 2 hours to reach Silver Mist Forest so you can rest first in your room.”

However, instead of going back to their room to rest, the two went to the dining room. Su Ling reviewed what Gu Liheng taught him last night about how to use the communication tools, weapons and treatment devices.

Gu Liheng finished reading his review and praised, “You learned well.”

Su Ling smiled, “You taught well,” and asked, “Are they going to follow us all the time?”

Gu Liheng shook his head, “They mainly provide remote assistance. High-grade spiritual plants have a high IQ, so a crowd will make them wary.”

Su Ling nodded, he was worried about this as well. Although the materials of the Grade S spiritual plant seemed unreliable due to many different opinions, the common points to caution were quite reliable.

Two hours later, the aircraft landed on the flat ground 10 kilometres away from the Silver Mist Forest.

After lunch, Hua Cheng drove a hovercar down from the aircraft, sending Gu Liheng and Su Ling nearer to the forest. The car drove on until it reached the area that it couldn’t proceed anymore and stopped. Gu Liheng and Su Ling got off the vehicle and Hua Cheng reached out from the driver’s seat, “Call me if you need help.”

Gu Liheng nodded.

Su Ling glanced at the compass from his bracelet, and after determining the direction, he walked into the forest with Gu Liheng. There were many obvious footprints inside the outer layer of the forest, it was apparent that many people have entered the forest before. Upon entering the forest, the visibility was very low, and it was quite humid, just as what the data says. After walking southward for 2 hours, Gu Liheng realized that Su Ling is panting, so he said, “Let’s take a break.”

Su Ling nodded, touched the stud earring, and took out the spiritual plants Lopseed and Baby’s breath. The plants seemed very happy. They rubbed against Su Ling’s hand, then waved their branches and leaves as if they were dancing. Refreshing and cool scent radiated from them, greatly reducing the heat and fatigue from Su Ling’s body. Su Ling leaned against the tree trunk and looked around, observing the movement around him. All of a sudden, his gaze met a pair of brown eyes of a wild beast, and his heart instantly tightened. Subconsciously reaching his hand, Su Ling gripped Gu Liheng’s arm. His voice was stiff as he said, “Wild beast.”

Gu Liheng followed Su Ling’s gaze, and took a step forward, half blocking in front of Su Ling. After he observed for a while, he said, “It’s okay, the beast only came to smell the fragrance, and it has no intention of attacking.”

Su Ling stared at Gu Liheng’s back and instantly relaxed. But soon, he couldn’t help getting nervous again because he found that more and more beasts were approaching. Not good!

Under Gu Liheng’s insistence, Su Ling took the ear stud and looked at it back and forth in his hand for a while. He asked in confusion, “How do I use it?”

Actually, after seeing the news that the Su Family has broken their relations with Su Ling, Gu Liheng did a background check on them. The Su family has developed rapidly in the past two decades. Although their family background was not deep, they were quite wealthy. But for Su Ling to not even know how to use a space storage, it makes one feel distressed; regardless it’s because he has never seen one before or he has lost his memory.

Gu Liheng patiently explained, “There is a button on the back of the crystal. Press it to turn on. You will need to record your voice and fingerprint when you turned it on for the first time. Then you can use either your voice or fingerprint to open the space storage next time.”

Su Ling learned to use the space storage according to Gu Liheng’s instructions. When he saw the space inside, he was dumbfounded. Turning to look at Gu Liheng, he asked, “Is this a space of 20m²?”

Gu Liheng: “En, you can also put in your personal belongings that you want to bring along. If you don’t have enough space, you can put it in my space storage here.”

Su Ling immediately said, “Enough, it’s enough.”

So 4 million worth of things were just trinkets in his male god’s heart?! Su Ling could genuinely feel the gap between the rich and the poor.

Gu Liheng: “Do you want to check around and see what else you need to buy?”

Su Ling looked at the various materials in the room again; clothing, weapons, and tents were fully prepared.

“I can’t think of anything for the time being, I will let you know after I have created the travel plan.” He has been preparing for his exam, so he didn’t have the time to create a travel plan.

Gu Liheng nodded and said, “Alright, you can discuss it with me at any time.”

The two checked the materials once again, then returned to their rooms to rest.

After Su Ling took a shower, he sat on the bed and tapped his bracelet. He opened the folder that listed the places that Xian Mo Yu was sighted before, then marked all the places on a map. Next, he drew a red circle on the Silver Mist Forest area closest to Belle City and numbered the locations from near to far.

Silver Mist Forest is his first destination, so he searched online for related news. Silver Mist Forest is located in the south of Belle City and quite vast in area. It is permeated with white fog all year round, causing extremely low visibility. From the outside, the forest seems to be covered with a layer of silvery gauze. That’s how Silver Mist Forest got its name. There are many kinds of species in the forest. Many precious materials and high-level spiritual plants can be found in the deeper part of the forest. High profits are accompanied by high risks. No team ever returns in full members after stepping a foot in the central area. Even with their advanced technology, it is still impossible to investigate the situation in the central area. The Silver Mist Forest is a sacred hunting ground for many people; explorers, spiritual plant specialists, mercenaries… Many people entered in droves in order to obtain rich rewards.

There are 2 ways to enter the Silver Mist Forest, land route, and water route. Su Ling marked the two roads with white lines and green lines, respectively. After reading the related guides, he decided to enter the forest by road. The depth of land transportation can be much shallower than the waterway, and they will need to cover more roads to get inside. The waterway runs straight into the forest along with the current, but it is very dangerous. Because there are many creatures in the water, and there will be aggressive creatures in the midst. The possibility of encountering danger is very high. He roughly determined the route to take, integrated various strategies, sorted out the information inside the forest, and marked it on the map. Su Ling listed the things to take note at the bottom of the plan and outlined the materials needed. After finishing the plan, he wanted to transfer it to Gu Liheng to see. However, he realized that it is 1 am now when he glanced at the clock. Instantly, he dismissed the idea to bother Gu Liheng and turned off his bracelet to sleep.

The next day, he was woken up by the tone of a communication request. He glanced at the time and saw that it is almost 9 am. Su Ling quickly got up and sat cross-legged, with his elbows against his knees, his palms supporting his side, and accepted the request.

Just as the line is connected, Lin Meng’s excited voice could be heard saying, “Ling Ling, congratulations! You are really amazing!”

Su Ling’s consciousness was a bit blurry when he woke up, he blinked his eyes when he heard that, and his thoughts became clear in an instant.

The test results are coming out today!

The corner of Su Ling’s mouth slightly curved up, “Thank you.” After that, he put down his hand and tapped on the screen panel to switch to the examination homepage. Then he clicked on the results of the university entrance examination. A list of names popped up right away, it was the result of all the candidates of this year. There was a box in the upper right corner where one could find out their score and ranking by entering their candidate number. Su Ling didn’t input his number because he saw his name on top at a glance – Su Ling, 485. He checked the candidate number and confirmed that it was indeed him, and not someone else with the same name. His smile became deeper, and he was a little excited.

Actually, the first place is nothing special for him as he is used to it, but the test this time was different from his previous tests because he and his competitors didn’t start on the same starting line. Soon, he calmed down from the excitement. After all, except for biology, the other subjects were not much different from what he learned previously. Plus, he could understand and memorize biology very quickly. The written test has a total of 500 points, but he got 485, so he is not particularly amazing. Not sure if he can find out where did he lost the 15 points.

As he was thinking about the points, he heard Lin Meng said, “Why are you so calm?! You have checked the score already?”

Su Ling: “I just checked. I’m delighted that I don’t need to repeat another year.”

“Not only do you not need to repeat, but there will also definitely be a lot of schools extending an invite for you. Your written test score is in the first place, and you are the only candidate who answered all of the additional questions correctly in the interview!”

Su Ling raised an eyebrow, “Additional questions?”

“Yeah, didn’t you read the news? The committee in charge of the test explained their marking scheme after the interview. They didn’t say it in advance because they were worried that the candidates would not do their best.”

Su Ling didn’t follow this news indeed.

Lin Meng explained further, “During the test in Area 002 where we need to distinguish various fragrances, we will get 1 point for each question from 1 to 20, 2 points for each question from 21 to 25, which give us a total of 30 points. From 26 to 30, those are actually additional questions, giving us 1 point for each question.”

Lin Meng’s tone gradually rose, “No one except you, get the extra points! You are too amazing!”

Su Ling modestly replied. After Lin Meng praised him for a while, he(LM) then asked, “Which university are you going to?”

Su Ling: “I haven’t thought about it yet. I will give it a consideration before filling in the application form.”

Lin Meng: “En, tell me after you have decided. Maybe we would go to the same university!”

Su Ling: “Okay.”

After hanging up the call, Su Ling went to check his interview score, 65 points. Apart from the exam he abandoned at Area 003, he received full marks for the other two exams, plus 5 additional points. Su Ling was a little surprised by the result. He was quite confident in the fragrance distinguishing test, but he didn’t know how the affinity test determines the scores, so he was not very confident about it.

Although Su Ling already knows that his written test will obtain excellent scores and that his interview score has nothing to do with him entering a university, but seeing this score still makes him very happy. He is qualified to choose which university he wants now. Before this, he was prepared for the worst. It would be fine to be able to enter any university, regardless of the quality of the university. Adding both points together will give him 547 points, which is more than 90% of the total score. It should be possible to choose a good school.

Su Ling went to wash his face in a good mood. As soon as he opened his door, he saw Domi standing outside. Domi is 1.8 meters tall, a bit taller than him. So, seeing a pair of big blue fluorescent eyes right after he opened the door gave him a scare. He was about to ask Domi what he was doing standing outside the door when he saw Domi’s eyes flashing.

“Oh, beautiful Omega guest, you finally woke up! Ever since you stayed with us, you have never got up later than 8 am, which is too worrying. Master told me to scan your breathing rate and make sure that you are safe.”

Su Ling laughed, “Why don’t you knock on the door?”

Domi: “According to analysis, the reason why you woke up late is probably because of a long sleep caused by relaxation after your exam, other than your physical condition. Master said that knocking on the door is too reckless.”

Su Ling walked out of his room, and Domi followed beside him, saying, “I’ll prepare breakfast for you.”

“Thank you.”

When Su Ling walked to the living room, he saw Gu Liheng in casual clothing sitting on the sofa and watching the news. He walked over to say hello and transferred the plan he created yesterday to Gu Liheng.

“There may be something I missed out, please help me to amend it. I will go to eat breakfast first.”

Gu Liheng nodded, “Okay.” When Su Ling turned to head to the dining table, he added, “Congratulations, your grades are excellent.”

Su Ling’s eyes slightly bent as he asked, “You saw my grades?” His heart felt very sweet, his male god paid close attention to him!

Gu Liheng shook his head. Although, he did want to check Su Ling’s grade in advance so that he can prepare how to comfort him. After all, he was not very good at comforting people. However, he did not know what Su Ling’s candidate number was. Apart from that, Su Ling’s grades did not need comfort. He replied, “No need to check because you are being discussed online.”

Su Ling froze for a moment, he didn’t expect Gu Liheng to answer yes. He was just asking because Gu Liheng’s previous reaction worried him, but in his heart, he didn’t place much hope for a positive answer. After a moment, he reacted quickly and said, “What kind of help do you need? Just say it, I will definitely try my best to help.”

Gu Liheng looked at the sincere boy, and his heart slightly warmed up. So this how it feels to have a friend? He gestured to the living room sofa and said, “Let’s sit down first.”

The two of them sat down, and Domi brewed a pot of tea for them. Soon, a light fragrance spread along the heat wafted in the air. Su Ling held a teacup and waited for Gu Liheng to speak.

Gu Liheng didn’t beat about the bush and stated his purpose right away, “Can I go with you when you take the Grade A spiritual plants to search for Xian Mo Yu?” Then he added, “I don’t want Xian Mo Yu, I just want to go together.”

Su Ling’s eyes brightened up; he didn’t expect the help his male god needs refer to this. He couldn’t ask for more! Initially, he was worried about not able to see Gu Liheng for some time, afraid that there would be love rivals appearing out of nowhere! It’s better to have his male god stay near to him, of course. Plus, searching for a spiritual plant is not the same as staying in a villa, the time they’ll spend together will significantly increase.

Su Ling answered immediately, “Of course.” He asked curiously, “Are you looking for another Grade S spiritual plant?”

Gu Liheng was silent for a while. Facing the boy’s clear eyes, he didn’t want to lie, but he didn’t want to let him know his condition as well, so he vaguely replied, “No, I just want to relax a bit. I can also help to search for this high-grade spiritual plant along the way, that’s good.”

Smiling, Su Ling nodded vigorously to express his agreement, “Yes, you really need to relax, but you are so busy recently, do you have time to go out?”

Gu Liheng nodded, “I have taken care of a few important tasks at hand, so I have a three-month vacation.”

Su Ling: “You have been so busy lately, was it because of the holiday?”

Gu Liheng: “Yes……”

Just then, Gu Liheng’s bracelet rang, and after reading the message, he got up: “Sorry, I need to settle some matters.”

Su Ling’s eyes curled up slightly, “It’s okay, I’m free starting from 16th, and it’s fine to leave a few days later.”

It was apparent that Su Ling is considering for his sake. Gu Liheng’s expression became much softer as he said, “Everything will be handled before the 16th then. I will go to my study first.”

After Gu Liheng left the living room, Su Ling thought about what he had said and tapped his bracelet to watch the news. The news with the highest number of replies is [Re-election – The most beautiful Omega]. He went inside and saw his picture with a red word in the upper right corner that said ‘Disqualified’. The two photos below him are Lin Meng and Zhao Qi, who was originally at 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. This topic has a lot of replies from netizens. After reading the popular replies, Su Ling understood why the Su Family suddenly announced their severed ties with him.

After he was rated as the most beautiful Omega, his popularity rose rapidly. Then, gossips about him circulated, and the most popular thing was his unpleasant pheromone smell. Soon, his family background was investigated and revealed by netizens. At the same time, the Su Family announced that they had broken off relations with him. Seeing this, Su Ling smiled, it was quite in line with the Su Family’s style of doing things.

Due to his disqualification, the re-election activity was extended to tomorrow. During the voting period, the few top-ranked people had their background checked and investigated in all aspects. Seeing that Lin Meng and Zhao Qi is in fierce competition, Su Ling couldn’t help but sigh. As expected of the protagonist and cannon fodder, they will always be competitors. As he is browsing the news, he received a communication request from Nalu. Nalu was worried about him, and his tone was furious. “You don’t have to care about the netizens’ comments, you are excellent!”

Su Ling smiled, “En, Uncle Nalu need not worry.”

His voice sounded calm and normal, so Nalu rested his mind, “Take a good rest tomorrow, don’t be stressed in the written test.”

Su Ling responded, “En, Uncle Nalu. Rest assured, I have a good mentality.”

Just after he hung up Nalu’s call, he received Lin Meng’s communication request. Lin Meng’s voice sounded a little anxious, “Ling Ling, don’t read the news.”

Amused, Su Ling replied, “I’ve already read it. It’s okay, I don’t care at all.”

Lin Meng’s voice carried an angry tone, “In my opinion, Ling Ling is the most beautiful Omega. I don’t know who took a picture for me, so annoying. I will reply to the comment immediately, and say I will not participate in the voting.”

Su Ling calmly replied, “This is not official voting, so you replying in the thread is useless. Don’t get agitated, just leave it.”

“But they called you by… it’s too much!”

Su Ling leaned against the sofa and shrugged. He has a well-known codename, ‘Smelly Omega’, on the Internet.

“My pheromones are indeed unpleasant. These people are just strangers to me, it doesn’t matter what they say. Don’t mind it, take a good rest and prepare for the written test.”

Lin Meng mumbled to himself, “Why are you so calm?”

Su Ling laughed, “Because I don’t care for them, you shouldn’t either.”

Embarrassed, Lin Meng said, “I wanted to comfort you, didn’t expect to be comforted by you instead.”

Su Ling smiled, and the two chatted a few words about the exam before ending the call.

The next day, Su Ling spent the whole day reviewing his homework in the villa. Because he gave up one of the interviews, he had a very low chance of passing. So he took the written test very seriously and even worked harder than the university entrance examination in his original world. Although he is prepared to repeat a year, he still hopes to do his best in the test.

On the 14th, the written test turned out to be quite different from the interview as it is done in a mixed examination room. There were many candidates of all genders coming for the written test. As soon as Su Ling appeared, he received a lot of stares. After confirming that they didn’t recognize the wrong person, these people were quite surprised.

“Wow! It’s the previous most beautiful Omega.”

“It’s him! The Omega who is deprived of his title because he is too stinky and has poor grades.”

“I didn’t expect that he would come to take the exam. He already gave up one interview,
could it be he thinks he could achieve excellent results in written test?”

“It’s is too difficult, maybe he just wants to gain more experience in the test for next year.”

Various whispers went into Su Ling’s ears. He secretly sighed, sure enough, gossip is everywhere no matter where one goes.

The time of the written test passed by. Su Ling felt good about the test, so he was in a good mood. After the second written test on the 15th, Su Ling went to the fragrance bar for dinner with Nalu.

Nalu saw him in a good mood and looked peaceful, so he was very happy for Su Ling. The two chatted while eating, then Su Ling said, “I am going to set off in a few days, but it should be no more than 20th at the latest.”

Nalu knew about his plan long ago, so upon hearing that, he transferred 300,000 to Su Ling’s account.

“This is the money from selling the raw materials this month, you can use it first. As for your tuition and dowry, it will be from the raw materials sold next month.”

Su Ling palmed his forehead, “Uncle Nalu, you don’t have to mention about the dowry.”

Nalu teased Su Ling a bit more before leaving, “Be sure to pay attention to safety and contact me if you need something.”

Su Ling: “Okay.”

It was almost 8 pm when Su Ling returned to the villa. When he entered the living room, he saw Gu Liheng dressed in normal sports attire, holding a glass in his hand and walking towards the stairs.

Su Ling’s eyes slightly brightened, and his eyes quickly swept across his firm muscles. He smiled and asked, “Are you done with your work?”

Gu Liheng stopped at his tracks and turned to Su Ling, “En, and I bought some items that we might need to use. Come and see what else you need to buy.”

Su Ling followed him to the right-most room on the first floor, and as soon as he entered,
he saw stacks of things piled up inside. In the middle were a pile of camouflage suits with various designs. On the long table at the right side, various weapons are placed inside an open black box.

Su Ling was shocked, “Were these legally bought?”

“Of course.”

Gu Liheng walked to the black box and took a silver stud from the right corner of the black box. Then, he handed it to Su Ling.

“This is a space storage to store your spiritual plants.”

Su Ling has been worrying about how to transport the spiritual plants. He checked the price of a space storage before. 1m² cost 200,000, and 2 spiritual plants need at least 5m², which he cannot afford. He didn’t expect Gu Liheng to be so thoughtful.

Seeing Su Ling still not taking the silver stud, Gu Liheng raised up his hand a little and said, “Keep it. It’s just a little device, and it’s not expensive. Since I’m going with you, I should provide you with some equipment.”

Su Ling’s eyes swept across the room full of stuff, went speechless for a moment before saying, “You may have misunderstood the meaning of the word ‘some’.”

Is this the world of the rich?!

There was a hint of calm in Su Ling’s reply, to appease Gu Liheng and not to mind those things.

Gu Liheng’s glance swept across Su Ling’s slightly reddish face as he asked, “Have you seen the news?”

Su Ling shrugged his shoulders, “I didn’t look at the news, but it should be about my pheromone having a bad smell. My first exam was to harvest raw material. I wanted to give it a try and took off my isolator.” Then he continued with a slight embarrassment, “The situation was the same as my first attempt to harvest raw material from a Grade A spiritual plant, and it also affected the candidates in the same hall. So I gave up that exam.”

His tone was calm, and there was no upset or inferiority in it.

Gu Liheng’s eyes moved slightly. The young man was sitting on the lounge chair as he looked up at him while he stood in the sun. The young man was shrouded in the umbrella’s shade, but he somehow felt that he(SL) seemed particularly bright instead. With a gentle tone, Gu Liheng said, “No, you have been voted as the most beautiful Omega.”

“What?” Su Ling was stunned. What a shameful title!

His reaction was too obvious, and it was not excitement or joyful.

“Are you upset?” Gu Liheng asked.

Su Ling curled his mouth and tapped at his bracelet. “What’s there to be happy about?” As he said that, he entered the news interface. He doesn’t have to search around, as he can already see that topic at the top with a ‘Hot news’ icon beside – [The most beautiful Omega is born]

He clicked on the title and saw the picture of him sitting in a car. Even he himself was a little amazed by the picture at first glance. So he looked up at Gu Liheng and asked, “What do you think about my picture?”

Gu Liheng: “It deserves its name.”

The tone Gu Liheng used doesn’t have any pitches, as if he was in a meeting, but because of this, he sounded more sincere; one could hear that it is not some flattering words. Suddenly, Su Ling felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and lightly coughed, “It’s just that the angle of the camera is good, and managed to highlight the best part of my face. However, appearance has little to do with me.” Other than his temperament and spirit, the rest of his facial features were inherited from his parents.

Gu Liheng: “It’s very rare for people of your age to be able to think like this.”

Su Ling was dissatisfied with his words and said, “I don’t see you as an elder, so you have to look at me just the same as your peers. Don’t talk to me with an elder’s tone.”

Gu Liheng looked at this ‘peers’ with slightly bulging cheeks, the corner of his lips couldn’t help curving up slightly as he nodded, “Okay.”

That stunned Su Ling for a moment. His male god’s appearance was usually handsome and stern. But his smile softened his expression instantly, like a spring breeze, giving people a feeling of manly tenderness. Recalling Gu Liheng’s reaction the last time he realized himself was smiling, Su Ling quickly adjusted his expression.

However, being sensitive to other people’s emotions, Gu Liheng immediately realized that something was wrong. Almost within a second, his expression changed several times, from surprise to panic, and finally, his expression tightened up.

Su Ling opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something,  when he heard Gu Liheng said, “I still have something to deal with, so I’ll return to my study now.”

Su Ling’s brows furrowed, he stared at Gu Liheng’s back as he quickly left the living room. The last time it happened, Su Ling thought he saw it wrongly, but this time Gu Liheng’s reaction made him understand that he was terrified of smiling. The panic on his face when he realized he is smiling was too obvious, especially compared with his calm expression before that. But how could this be? It’s just like the cursed prince in a fairy tale as if smiling would have grave consequences.

His finger unconsciously dragged down the screen, and the crisp sound of the page refreshing sounded in his ear. Looking down, Su Ling saw a title that says [The most beautiful Omega has the devil’s pheromones]. He clicked in and saw several replies with the sentence ‘According to reliable information from candidates in the same exam room, the newest beautiful Omega winner has an extremely unpleasant pheromone’.

Then someone added, “Not only it’s smelly, but also particularly unpleasant to the spiritual plant. Because of his pheromone, all the spiritual plants in examination hall closed up their petals.”

“Yeah, he gave up that exam in area 003.”

“The score of area 003 accounted for 40. So, he could not pass the test. Does that means he didn’t meet the requirement to be selected as the most beautiful Omega?”

“Although the winner has always been selected from the test candidates, no ‘most beautiful’ Omega has ever failed to enter the university before. Are we breaking the record now?”

“I propose re-election! I don’t know the situation before the selection. The beauty of an Omega should be more than just his appearance!”

“I agree!”

“……”

The following replies in that thread were all copy-and-paste ‘I agree’. Su Ling started typing, using his ID [Ice Cream], he followed the crowd and replied ‘I agree’. He didn’t like the title ‘most beautiful’ at all, if it was ‘most handsome’ Omega, then he would like it. After he posted a reply, he didn’t continue to watch the news. A moment later, he walked past the living room and hesitated by the stairs to the second floor. However, he decided not to go upstairs. He didn’t know the specific situation, and they were not very familiar, so asking Gu Liheng directly will be too abrupt.

Turning around, Su Ling went to sit on the sofa, so that he will know right away when Gu Liheng came downstairs. He had only taken two steps when he heard footsteps coming from behind. He turned around and saw Gu Liheng coming down from the second floor with an upright posture. His expression is perfect as usual, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

When he saw Su Ling, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. Then he asked, “Do you need my help?”

Su Ling was puzzled and shook his head, “No, I’m fine. Why do I need help?”

Gu Liheng walked up to him and explained, “The Su Family just announced that they have broken off relations with you.”

Su Ling laughed, although he didn’t know why the Su Family suddenly announced the news, it was a good thing for him.

“I personally brought home a lawyer with me to go through the formalities of breaking away from the family. If the formalities were not done properly, then I may need your help.”

Looking at the young boy with clear eyes in front of him, Gu Liheng’s thin lips slightly pursed, and he swallowed what he wanted to say next. Su Ling is much more mature than his peers.

Saying that, Su Ling looked at Gu Liheng’s expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you need my help?” He was just asking, but Gu Liheng unexpectedly replied, “Yes.”

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.

The proctor’s gaze moved away from the calm-looking Su Ling and swept past the noisy candidates. “Quiet!”

Instantly, the candidates don’t dare to speak again, and the large examination room quieted down.

The chief proctor said, “The previous test is to assess your harvesting ability, which is a necessary talent to become a material harvester. And now we will test your affinity, which is the talent required to become a spiritual plant cultivator.” After he finished speaking, the proctor began to list down the rules and regulations of the test and said, “The examination begins.”

The moment this sentence is out, no one spoke again. Except for Su Ling, all candidates quickly removed their isolator, and the test room was soon filled with the fragrance of various pheromones. In front of Su Ling is still a camellia plant. Its red flowers were particularly gorgeous, and the petals looked very nice with its overlapping design. Reaching out, he lightly touched the flower nearest to him, and it shook slightly. The stem of that flower leaned towards him, and the whole flower soon fit snugly into his palm. A soft itchy feeling came from his palm as the petals brushed against his hand. Su Ling couldn’t help curling the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were bright and spirited. He bent down slightly, gently sniffing the fragrance of the flower while stroking the petals with his finger. His finger circled around the flower, then lowered to pinch its leaf gently. The flower fragrance immediately became more potent. Other branches of the camellia came close to his hand, and the flowers on the top of the branch bloomed to the extreme. Su Ling’s fingers touched the flowers one by one and received many soft brushes in return.

Because of his abnormal pheromone, the three proctors were paying attention to Su Ling when the test started. Hence, all 3 of them has an expression full of shock on their face. Even if Grade E spiritual plant has a low IQ and is the easiest type to accept goodwill from the Omegas, but it’s still not an easy task for Omegas who have yet to enter university, not to mention without using any pheromones. This affinity is really rare.

Su Ling didn’t go to check out how the rest of the Omega is doing. For half an hour, he had been playing with his camellia plant. He would his hands move away from time to time, rubbing the petals when the flower shifted close to his hand and then moved his hand to another direction. The branch would change direction to chase his hand, which Su Ling would repeat his previous actions. He found that a Grade E spiritual plant is like a child, so it seems to like a game of chasing more than him touching it all the time. The change in aroma intensity is the best proof. Su Ling also found this game very interesting, and so half an hour passed by in a blink of an eye.

When the proctor announced the end of the test, Su Ling was a little sorry; it would be nice if he could feel what the camellia is feeling too. At the same time, everyone’s scores were transferred to the examination system. Next, the proctors and candidates moved to area 002 for the third exam.

Area 002 is divided into the inner and outer sections. At this moment, they were gathering at the outer section, and there are many arc-shaped long tables around it. The tables were arranged in 5 layers, just like a rainbow. There were various transparent glass bottles on the table, with various solids or liquids in the bottles.

The chief proctor said, “There are 10 groups of materials on each table, and each group contains 30 glass bottles. The materials would be either essential oil or pollen from Grade D and E spiritual plants.” As he said that, the proctor pointed to the door on the right hand behind him, “This door leads to the inner section, which is a long corridor of aroma. The corridor is divided into 30 areas, and each area will have different aromas, which corresponds with the glass bottles on the table.”

“You need to smell the scent of the glass bottle, remember the aroma, and the name of the corresponding spiritual plant. After confirming it, enter the inner section and key in the name of the spiritual plant in which you could smell the aroma in each area. This exam is mainly to assess your recognition of fragrances, which is very important for the perfumer profession.”

“The total time for this test is one and a half hours. During the test, no communication is allowed. The score is based on your accuracy rate, and your speed will be used for ranking should there be two or more exact scores.”

Finishing explaining the instruction for the examination, the proctor divided the candidates into 11 groups, and they will share a group of materials. After the candidates were in place, he announced, “The exam begins.”

Three proctors simultaneously press the timer.

Su Ling stood on the far right side of their group. He straightaway picked up the rightmost glass bottle, looked at the label first, and then opened the cap to smell. He is very sensitive to fragrance and spends a lot of time remembering the name of the spiritual plants to which the scent belongs. At the corner of his eyes, he noticed that 2 candidates in his team changed their bottles quickly. Su Ling was surprised first but soon realized something. An Omega generally comes in contact with a lot of spiritual plants since childhood, so it is normal for them to recognize many low-grade spiritual plants. He also knows a little bit, but just a few types from the fragrance bar and the villa’s garden. He only knows 5 kinds in total, which means he has to remember 25 new plants on the spot. Compared with people who don’t know anything at all, Su Ling still has a tiny bit of advantage. But then again, the possibility that a native Omega recognizing less than 5 spiritual plants is really low. However, Su Ling is not nervous. He is used to the feeling of having exams, so his mentality has always been very stable.

Though this interview[1] gave Su Ling much surprise, he won’t mind even if he gets a failing grade, at least it’s better than the zero points he initially thought he would get. He carefully wrote down the name of each fragrance and spiritual plant, and after smelling it all, he reviewed from the middle to the right. At this moment, there are already some candidates who have gone to the inner section.

Su Ling glanced around, then he walked to the far left, reviewing from left to middle. He deliberately shuffled the order to review the materials, worrying that he ended up remembering the order than really remembering the names of the fragrances. After confirming that there is no error, he went to the inner section. At this moment, half of the candidates have already entered the inner section.

Inside the inner section, Su Ling passed through the quarantine area to the first small area. He could smell the fragrance instantly, and the name of the fragrance suddenly appeared in his mind. Without hesitation, he entered the answer on the answer panel in his bracelet.

The small areas were not really small, they were just narrow but very long, and each area is like a minute away in distance. There were very few candidates staying in the first 10 small areas. Obviously, when the short-term memory is still fresh, the test questions are very simple for the candidates. However, starting from the area 11, there are candidates staying inside, frowning as they tried to recall their memories. Su Ling went all the way at normal walking speed, only pausing when entering the answer.

Every area has a monitor and a sound transmitter, so the examination site was quiet throughout, as no one speaks. Upon reaching area 21, Su Ling was taken aback because he saw the number of candidates suddenly increased a lot. At a glance, there were almost 20 people in the area. Taking in a breath, he understood what happened. The aroma of this area has mixed fragrances from 2 different spiritual plants. He easily discerned it, so he continued to move forward, in the shocked sight of the candidates who had stayed in the area for a while.

From area 21 to 25, all contained mixed fragrances from 2 different spiritual plants. Coming out from area 25, Su Ling has now overcome more than 200 candidates. The moment he walked into area 26, the 4 candidates inside immediately looked at him. As for Su Ling, his eyelids slightly twitched, 3 kinds of spiritual plant fragrance!

Zhao Qi looked at him incredulously, but soon, he curled his mouth. Su Ling must be answering the questions randomly to be able to get to this area so fast.

Lin Meng’s big eyes were full of surprises. He excitedly stepped forward, and his mouth moved slightly as if he wanted to say something. Su Ling placed his index finger on his lips, making a silent gesture. Lin Meng calmed down and waved his hand as a cheering sign at Su Ling.

Su Ling didn’t know who are the other 2 candidates in the area, so he only smiled at them politely. Next, he bowed his head to enter his answer, quickly wrote down the names of the spiritual plants. After writing, he waved to Lin Meng and moved on.

Zhao Qi stared at his back with wide eyes, how could Su Ling be so fast?! He is absolutely blindly answering the question. However, when Zhao Qi recalled that people with the same score will be ranked according to their speed, he keyed in the possible answer for that area and trot past Su Ling. That caused Su Ling to raise his eyebrows, but he ignored Zhao Qi and continue to proceed at his own speed, walking all the way to the end.

The proctor waited at the exit, and Zhao Qi stood next to him with his chin slightly raised with pride.

Lin Meng came out fourth, and he ran to Su Ling as soon as he came out, “Ling Ling, you are so amazing!”

Su Ling smiled and said, “You are amazing as well.”

Zhao Qi humphed and cut in, “What amazing? He might be just blindly answering the questions,” then looked at Lin Meng and said, “You don’t know this yet, right? He gave up the exam in area 003.”

Lin Meng was stunned and looked at Su Ling worriedly.

Su Ling: “It’s okay, I have prepared myself to get a failing grade.”

The proctor looked at Su Ling in surprise, no wonder this candidate has been so calm throughout the tests. But despite knowing that he would fail, he still has such a good mentality, that’s very rare.

Proctor: “Your exam is over, and you can leave now.”

Su Ling took a glance at his bracelet and saw that the communication function has returned to normal.

Lin Meng: “It’s already past 12 pm. Let’s go to have lunch together.”

Su Ling had lunch with Lin Meng and went back to the villa afterward; Gu Liheng was not at home. He and Domi moved the 3 Grade A spiritual plants to the garden, which he fell asleep on the lounge chair while bathing in a comfortable fragrance.

At the same time, major news channels were reporting on the interview of the spiritual plant department today. Netizens also have held a voting event for ‘the most beautiful Omega’. The photo with the most votes is impressive. It was a fair-skinned young man sitting in a car with his head slightly tilted. His facial features were exquisite, and his light brown eyes were as if they were transparent, making him seemed very quiet.

Su Ling woke up and was rubbing his slightly numb face when he saw Gu Liheng striding over. He smiled, but before he could say anything, Gu Liheng said, “You are on the news.”

Su Ling uttered an ‘Ah’, then thinking that the matter about his pheromone in the examination hall is exposed, he became calm again. He smiled and said, “It’s okay, I don’t care what they say.”

[1] 面试/miàn shì – Not sure if the Chinese use this word differently, apparently the 3 tests Su Ling took today is considered that so-called ‘interview’.

Please don’t retranslate from my English version and don’t repost in Wattpad for your ‘offline’ reading pleasure.

The exam will go on for 3 days. The interview will start on the 12th, and the written examination will be starting on the 14th and 15th.

After school on the 11th, Su Ling went to the fragrance bar. He went to the spiritual plant shed to see the spiritual plants and to prepare for his exam the next day. When he came out of the shed, Nalu kept talking around him, “It doesn’t matter if the interview result is not ideal. You will achieve excellent results in the written test. Even if you can’t, you still can repeat another year.”

Su Ling couldn’t help laughing and replied, “I know, Uncle Nalu. I told you these words before.”

Nalu looked at him, said nervously, “I’m just afraid that you might not be able to accept the result.”

Rubbing his wrist, Su Ling can see that his wound has recovered, but a scar remained. “I won’t.” Then he laughed, his smile was bright.

Nalu stared at him for a while, and finally relaxed, “I will treat you dinner after the exam.”

Su Ling accepted the offer without hesitation. “Okay.”

When Su Ling returned to the villa, he saw Gu Liheng, who had been busy recently, sitting on the living room sofa. He ran over and asked with a smile, “Are you finished with your works?”

Gu Liheng: “No, not yet.” Then he took out a light blue gourd-shaped Cold Moon Sachet and handed it to Su Ling. “Your interview is tomorrow, right? Don’t put too much emphasis on the results.”

Su Ling laughed, does he look that vulnerable to him? He took out the sachet he gotten from Gu Liheng previous from his backpack and said, “I still have this. Plus, all of the attendants are Omega, I have no use for it.”

Gu Liheng still stretched out his hand at Su Ling, “The effectiveness of the sachet will gradually weaken over time. And because of the large number of Omegas, there will be a lot of Alpha waiting outside the testing location.”

Su Ling thought about it and took the sachet, “Thank you.” His eyes curved up as he added, “Don’t worry about me; I am prepared.” He is prepared for the worst, even if the interview result is zero in the end, he will be able to remain peaceful.

…

At 8 am on the 12th, the villa driver sent Su Ling to the interview location – the spiritual plant division association square. The exam only starts at 9 am, but there are already many cars on the road near the examination room at 8 am. As the car stopped at a red light, the air felt stuffy, so Su Ling lowered the car window and looked out. On the right was a very gaudy red convertible sports car. The man in the car looked sturdy, obviously an Alpha. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and seemed to be quite handsome too.

“Ah! You guys see that? What a beautiful Omega!” The man soon noticed Su Ling and waved at him. At the same time, he turned his bracelet towards Su Ling, so that his friends in the communication screen could see him as well.

Su Ling glanced at the holographic screen above the man’s bracelet and decisively closed the car window. The material of their car window is the most common one on the market. You can see the outside from the inside, but people outside cannot see what’s inside the car. The man waved his hand at Su Ling’s direction and shouted a few words loudly. Su Ling ignored him and shifted slightly to the middle of the seat and stared forward. Their car started moving again, and he found that many of the cars on the same road were Alpha. Most of them had their car windows or hood opened, and one could see their identity at a glance.

At the examination site, there is a security guard at the entrance. A large area at the gate was enclosed, and a group of tall Alpha stood outside the fence.

Su Ling: “…” His male god is right; there are a lot of Alpha here.

He thanked the driver and got off. As he walked towards the entrance of the examination site, he could sense many eyes on him. Su Ling turned open his bracelet, verified his identity as a candidate, and entered the examination hall. Behind him, a noisy discussion is going on, and some people shouted words like ‘Pretty Omega’. Pretending that he didn’t hear it, Su Ling walked to the standby room in area 003.

When he arrived, many Omegas were already there. After he entered, he felt a lot of inquiring eyes. Su Ling looked over and saw several familiar people who should be in the same class as him. However, he is unfamiliar with anyone except with Lin Meng, so he did not say hello. He went to sit down on the seat, labeled with his exam number. Although many people believe that it is impossible for him to pass the interview because of the smell of his pheromone, Su Ling still wants to join. He did not know the specific content of the interview and was quite curious.

Every year, the assessment of the interview is different, but the general direction will not change, subject to the professional qualities required by the spiritual plant major. The interview is equivalent to checking in advance whether the student is capable of studying this major. After all, there are some professions where hard work won’t pay off; you will also need talents.

This year, there are more than 1,500 Omega students enrolled in the spiritual plant department. The testing site is divided into 3 areas. Lin Meng is in area 001, and he is in area 003. At 9 am, the standby room is already full, it was quite lively with more than 500 Omegas were staying together. Only then Su Ling realized that Zhao Qi is in the same area as him. Zhao Qi’s expression didn’t look good when he saw him, but he didn’t take the initiative to find trouble.

Three examination proctors walked into the standby room, and the chief proctor seriously announced the rules of the examination room before explaining further about the content of the examination.

“You will take a total of 3 exams. After the first exam is done, you will proceed onto the next one after a short time for adjustment. The content of the exams in each area is different. The exam sequence in your 003 area is 003, 001, 002. Other areas will have different exam sequence. During the examination, all candidates’ communication function will be restricted so that no questions will be leaked.”

“The total score of the three exams is 100, the test score of the 003 area is 40, and the score of the other two areas is 30 each. The minimum score to pass is 60. The score will be announced on the 16th, together with your written test score.”

After the chief proctor finished speaking, his eyes swept across the group of candidates, “Do you understand my explanation? If there is anyone who doesn’t understand, you can raise your hand to ask.”

The audience was quiet.

A light smile appeared on the chief proctor’s face as he said, “Very good. The exam for area 003 will start now. The content of the exam is harvesting raw materials from spiritual plants provided to you, and the score evaluation is the time used, the quality and quantity of the raw material.”

After the proctor finished speaking, he raised his hand above his head and clapped once. Instantly, the wall on the right side of the standby room opened from the middle to the sides. A large field of spiritual plants was revealed behind the wall. Beta security and staff were standing around the flower field. There was a lot of exclamation from the group of candidates.

The chief proctor said, “Here are all Grade E spiritual plants, all spiritual plants were cultivated from the same batch, and their state is similar. Now, according to your exam number, walk out in turn, follow the staff’s guidance, and stand next to the plant assigned to you.”

More than 500 candidates were divided into 11 long lines, and they walked to the spiritual plant in turn. In front of Su Ling is a Grade E camellia, he looked around and saw that his row is all Camellia.

The proctor continued, “Now, candidates who are dissatisfied with the allocation of your spiritual plant, you can come forward to exchange to another plant that is most compatible with your pheromone. We allow the exchange of the spiritual plant to achieve the fairest result.”

Many candidates raised their hands, and the staff quickly inputted the data and arranged for the exchange. After the exchange is done, the chief proctor repeated the inquiry again. No one raised any objections, so he announced, “The test starts now, and you have 40 minutes.” The moment he finished his words, the two deputy proctors turned on the timers respectively. All candidates made the same action at the same time, that is removing their isolator.

Su Ling soon smelled a variety of fragrances. Some were faint, and some were thick, although some were so light that it could almost be neglected, but none were as bad as him. He reached out and touched the Camellia’s leaves. The Camellia shook its leaves up and down, and its petals curled up around his fingers, releasing a slight fragrance. Su Ling hesitated and decided to try again. He took off his isolator, and controlled the release of his pheromone, wanting to release a hint of smell. However, when the smell emanated, panic hit him one after another. At the same time, the candidates’ exclamation, disgust, and anger could be heard.

“Smelly!”

“Aiya, why are you curled up together?!”

Su Ling glanced around and quickly reattached his isolator. All the flowers he saw had their petals closed up, and their leaves were shivering.

“Teacher, it’s him. He is smelly and polluted the air of the examination hall!” Zhao Qi pointed to Su Ling.

It was the proctor’s first time to encounter this kind of situation. His expression was slightly serious in front of Su Ling, but Su Ling’s attitude was very good as he apologized, “Teacher, I am sorry, I just want to give it a try.”

“Try what, so stinky, how could any spiritual plant be willing to provide raw materials?”

“This time, our performance time is forced to be extended, will it affect our score?!”

“Such bad luck, to get into the same examination hall with him.”

Various accusations came one after another. Su Ling felt sorry as well, but the Camellia’s attitude makes him feel hopeful. He looked at the proctor and said sincerely, “I’m really sorry. In order not to affect the exams for the rest of the students, I will give up on this exam. To be fair, the exam should start again.”

The prosecutor’s face eased up, and his expression revealed some sympathy. After confirming that Su Ling had given up the exam, he asked the staff to take Su Ling to the waiting area and announced that the exam would be restarted. The candidates who initially had a lot of complaints looked better now. The staff started the air purification system, measured the air quality three times with an air measuring instrument, and recorded it in a file. Only then the proctor announced for the exam to start again.

Su Ling stood aside, observing the movements of the nearest candidates and comparing the differences in how they harvest the materials. The proctors and staff would glance at him from time to time, worried that he can’t bear the sadness. Seeing him acting so calmly, they made a better impression on him.

5 minutes later, the candidates gradually completed the exam, and Zhao Qi was also very fast, ranking 9th. When he left the flower field, he raised his eyebrows proudly towards Su Ling. 40 minutes later, the exam is over. Some of the students who finished late inevitably showed disappointment, but after seeing Su Ling’s calm expression, their mood improved a lot. There were also sympathetic candidates patting him on the shoulder, “Good luck.”

Su Ling smiled, “En, you too.”

Leaving area 003, they moved to the 001 area for the second test. The content of the second test measures plants affinity. They are still using grade E spiritual plants, and you can choose to exchange it as well. The spiritual plant is placed on a table equipped with a spiritual plant aroma detector. Within half an hour of the test, the highest concentration of fragrance recorded by the detector will be the assessment value.

As soon as the chief proctor finished speaking, the examinee said, “Teacher, I want to stay away from him.”

Zhao Qi pointed at Su Ling and said, “Teacher, I propose to ban him from taking exams.”

This proposal was echoed by other candidates as well, “Yes, how could such smelly pheromone pass the exam? Just make him give up directly.”

The proctor looked at Su Ling, Su Ling said, “Teacher, I won’t give up the exam, but I promise not to take off the isolator.”

His affinity does not require pheromones!

The proctor said seriously, “If you violate the rules and disrupt the order of the examination room,
even if you want to restart, your score will be invalid.”

Su Ling’s tone is sure, “I will not violate the rules.”
