The reason Li Tingzhen didnāt say anything and directly gave the tablet to Doctor Qiu was because he didnāt want Mu Feibai and Du Chen to know about the gland removal surgery.
Who knew that Du Chenās guess would be so on point merely based on Qi Zhefengās vague answers, and even thought that the club was going to demand Qiu Yu have the surgery.
āThe other party proposed this himself.ā Li Tingzhen helplessly handed the tablet to Du Chen, and continued to explain, āHe asked the club to provide him the strongest Omega inhibitors, as well as a channel to apply for pre-surgery assessment.ā
Du Chen gripped the tablet and read the displayed terms again and again. His expression changed many times before settling into a strange look bordering between anger and sorrow, āā¦Then can we not sign him?ā
His words were quite unreasonable, and Li Tingzhen waved him away, āAlright, itās none of your business anymore, quickly go eatĀ ba.ā
Mu Feibai hummed in answer and gripped Du Chenās elbow, dragging him out of the conference room before closing the door behind them.
The two walked side-by-side for a while before Du Chen couldnāt keep it in anymore. āWhy do they have to sign an Omega? Itās not like thereās no one left in the youth training camp!ā
Mu Feibai glanced at him, āYouāve also been in a team with Ghost before. Tell the truth, who do you think is stronger, you or him?ā
Du Chenā¦ had nothing to say.
āMoreover, he was the one who requested the surgery.ā Mu Feibaiās tone seemed a little different than usual, āI remember that two years ago, there was an Omega singer in the 2nd district of the Western Area who also requested surgery for her career.ā
āThatās because she was widowed and dearly loved her husband, so she didnāt want to remarry and chose to do the surgery.ā Du Chen retorted, āAnd she had both a son and a daughter already.ā
Hearing this, Mu Feibai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, āAi, you are still so young, why is your thinking so old-fashioned? You canāt really believe that an Omegaās worth is defined by children, right?ā
Du Chen stubbornly refused to answer.
Mu Feibai hooked his neck and mischievously asked, āAlso, you know so much about the gland removal surgery that you can guess even from a few words?ā
As he spoke, he intentionally pulled Du Chenās collar and looked closely, āNo way, did you undergo the surgery yourself and pretended to be an Alpha to compete?ā
āFuck off!ā Du Chen slapped away Mu Feibaiās hand, unreservedly releasing his pheromones.
A cold minty scent spread through the surrounding air, bringing with it a sense of suppression that undeniably belonged to an Alpha.
Of course, Mu Feibai was just joking.
Omegas having undergone the surgery might pretend to be a Beta, but the Star Allianceās technology hasnāt yet progressed far enough for them to disguise as Alphas.

Mu Feibai didnāt believe him, āThey write about this in books?ā
Du Chen was silent.
After a moment, he spoke, āIf it wasnāt that med schools donāt take Alphas, I wouldnāt have come to play in competitions.ā
As an Alpha, having such a dream was basically equivalent to an Omega wanting to be a soldier, far-fetched and laughable.
Sectors such as medicine, education, and service and hospitality often came into contact with all kinds of people, so they all had high requirements regarding emotional stability and therefore rejected Alphas and Omegas. In these sectors, Alphas and Omegas were likewise marginalised genders, and sometimes Alphas were treated with even more hostility.
After all, when public safety was at stake, equal opportunities didnāt seem that consequential anymore.
āSince you know how it feels to have an impossible dream, why are you so opposed to Ghost joining our team?ā Mu Feibai asked in a low voice as they reached the door.
Du Chenās footsteps stalled, yet he didnāt say anything and silently walked into the cafeteria.
ā¦ā¦
With the help of the gaming platformās contract agent, Qiu Yu carefully negotiated all the conditions relating to his transfer with the Eagle Riders club. Starting from June, all the base and full-time broadcasting salary would be counted towards his club salary, and additionally, the club will provide him with highly efficient inhibitors for free.
Of course, as a professional competitor, Qiu Yu would also be able to use the teamās dorms and cafeteria, receive the resident doctorās free health care, as well as get prize money after winning, just like everyone else. As for his obligations, not only did he have to follow arrangements in training and competitions, he also had to meet an additional quota of 15 hours of broadcasting every month.
After experiencing being pitted by a contract before, Qiu Yu was very cautious this time and inquired in detail into almost every clause. Only after confirming there was no chance of falling into another pit did he finally sign the contract.
The spring season of āCenturyās Finaleā had almost ended, and Tang Weiran would move out of the dorms by the end of the month. Qiu Yu and his manager Yuan Lu booked a ticket for Yan city on the first days of June.
It worked out just so that he could get a full-time broadcasting salary in the remaining days of May.
After knowing Qiu Yuās decision, Xu Qingqing couldnāt help being a little worried, āButā¦ thereās so many Alphas in the professional team, god Mu, and the new guy, theyāre both Alphasā¦ Are you really going? Would it be too dangerous?ā
Qiu Yu helped her carry the boxes into the car and spoke in a low voice, āDonāt worry, the battle team will guarantee my safety. But you, on the other hand, are you sure moving houses will solve the problem?ā
āWhat else can I do? All I can do is hide for now.ā Xu Qingqing powerlessly said, āItās a relief that the Civil Affairs Bureau notified me there areĀ two Alphas with a matching level of B. I think itās good enough, so Iām planning on getting along with them for a while, and then quickly getting marriedā¦ If I keep being stubborn, I wonāt only be harming myself but also others around me.ā
This is the fate that the majority of omegas will eventually face, and Qiu Yu had no authority to try and convince her otherwise.
He could choose to walk a thorny road, yet he couldnāt well drag others into walking it with him.
ā¦ā¦
The 21st of May marked the end ofĀ Centuryās Finaleās Star District Spring Season.
Regretfully, the Eagle Riders who emerged victorious in the Early Spring Invitationals in March were stopped in theĀ top four.
Immediately after, Wang Yi announced his retirement, Tang Weiran switched clubs, and Liu Jinjie returned to his hometown to continue nursing his injuries. The Eagle Riders who had always been standing on top suddenly seemed toĀ splinter apart, seemingly on the vestiges of defeat, causing a wave of sighs on the internet.
Until the beginning of June, news about the Eagle Riders signing a new player appeared out of the blue and rocketed into the hot searches within ten minutes, stunning the entire Star Alliance esports circle.
[Oh fuck! The Eagle Riders are definitely crazy!!!]
[The heck, can Omegas become professional players as well?!]
[Eagle Ridersā got guts, not only daring to be the first battle team to sign a female, theyāre even signing Omegas now? Are they giving up on themselves? Or is it to make some waves to maintain popularity?]
[Where did that Qiu Yu come from? Omegas can play in the pro league as well?]
[I heart that heās an anchor on the gaming platform, hereās a recording from god Muās broadcast: (video link)]
[Heās actually pretty strong, god Mu invited him before, but he got rejected.]
[Itās him? Isnāt he that little anchor who rejected god Mu multiple times? I remember him saying he was a beta before, so it turns out heās an Omega pretending to be a Beta?]
[Hehe, to dare to reject god Mu, why donāt you reject signing with the club as well!]
[Saying no, but your actions reveal the truth. If you want to sign on just to attract an Alpha, why donāt you just say it. What year is it now, are you still playing theĀ Three Refusals and Three Concessions?]
[The Eagle Riders have really fallen, even daring to sign an Omega onto the team. Are they worried god Muās gonna jump ship as well and wanted to find a little O to make him stay?]
[Hehe, Omegas are all trouble. Heās definitely going to pollute the Eagle Ridersā air.]
[Leaving, leaving. I see now that thereās no way the Eagle Riders are going to win three consecutive Star Alliance cups.]
It was clear as day that the majority of those in the esports circle held great malice towards Omegas. Not only were the netizensā comments extremely contemptuous, even several famous game commentator accounts werenāt optimistic about the Eagle Riderās choice.
No matter how excellent Qiu Yuās performance was as āGhost2207ā, his inherent physique as an Omega meant that he had to face countless obstacles. The professional league not only required players to use gaming cabins that were more precisely attuned than a helmet, players would also often board spaceships to various Star Districts and compete in different cities. No matter if it was the gaming cabin or long distance jumps, they were all insurmountable pressures for an Omegaās delicate and weak body.
The reality was indeed so.
As the spaceship heading towards the capital of the Star District began a short-distance jump, Qiu Yuās body already felt extremely uncomfortable, and he vomited until he almost blacked out. There was no need to say any more about the long-distance jumps he would have to face in the future.
The battle team manager Yuan Lu who had accompanied Qiu Yu and helped him move his belongings was helpless on the inside. Although she had always supported the cause for equality, she didnāt really understand why the battle team chose to sign on an Omega. She believed that an Omegaās weak physique was dictated by genes, they werenāt suited for professional battle teams, so there was no need for them to endure this suffering.
Moreover, they would also have to endure the psychological pressure brought on by public opinion on all sides.
Qiu Yu didnāt actually care much about othersā opinions.
The contract was already signed, dealing with the comments was a job for the gaming platform and the Eagle Riders. His role was only to maintain training and not make mistakes in competitions.
Very quickly, the spaceship reached Yan CityāsĀ air port. Yuan Lu led Qiu Yu onto the club-hired shuttle, and they finally arrived at the base just in time for dinner.
Because of the explosive news that morning, there was currently a giant crowd of reporters outside the Eagle Ridersā club gates, and there were also quite a few people from other companies just looking on for fun, all waiting to watch the arrival of the first Omega player in the history of Centuryās Finale.
The moment Qiu Yu stepped off the shuttle, he was almost blinded by flashes of light. Subconsciously, he reached towards his waist for a gunāonly when he touched thin air did he realise he wasnāt carrying any weapons.
The people around him held some measure of curiosity and even animosity, leading Qiu Yuās entire figure to tense up. His gaze scanned across the faces and bodies of every onlooker, taking in all their expressions and postures. Only until he determined that there was no danger to his life did he slowly relax, and his gaze then fell onto the youth standing straight in the centre of the field.
The youth was tall and fit, his brows and eyes carrying a blade-like sharpness. Even by appearance alone it can be determined that he was a superior Alpha.
Seeing Qiu Yuās sights fall onto himself, the youthās features bloomed into a smile as though sunlight scattering the cold sharpness of blades. The overpowering aura belonging to an Alpha immediately turned warm, and the personās temperament finally coincided with the photoshoots that appeared in his memory fragments.
Mu Feibai.
The publicly recognised āgod of Warā.
It was also said that he was the pampering-type boyfriend material and publicly recognised dream Alpha of Omega fans who liked gaming.
