MORIC - Chapter 3
Chapter 3: A Rival's Guidance is Ill-intentioned!
Before Xi Zhoumeng could even speak, the group of Alphas started clamoring—
"I'm sorry, Senior, I didn't do it on purpose. This Omega is just too despicable…"
"Yeah, it's the first time I've ever seen an O hit someone! It's simply…"
The crowd of onlookers grew larger.
"For real? This Alpha got sent flying by an Omega? Hahahaha! I don't believe it, I want to see it again!"
"Did anyone record a video? Send me a copy, I'll pay 10 Star Coins for it."
"Senior is so beautiful, and she smells so good. Even her sheep are peerless beauties!"
Before enrolling, Chi Yueshan had a certain idealized image of Guyun Academy.
Now, she just felt this scene was no different from a vegetable market in the Lower World.
Xi Zhoumeng suddenly laughed out loud. "An Alpha sent flying by an Omega?"
Xi Zhoumeng glanced at the Alpha being helped up. Perhaps because it was a novel sight, her gaze lingered a little longer.
Within this five-meter radius, a fragrant aroma lingered, enough to befuddle anyone's senses.
Not to mention an Alpha who only loved pretty faces. The blood running from his nose made his face look particularly pathetic. He wiped it, but it kept flowing, dripping onto the ground.
He even let out a bashful "mm-hmm."
Xi Zhoumeng looked away, suddenly feeling a bit disgusted.
"This Omega is unreasonable! According to school regulations, her academic credits should be deducted!" the lanky Alpha shouted.
Only then did Chi Yueshan speak. "Which school regulation? Please, state it."
A hush fell over the crowd. After all, no one had anticipated a situation where an O would send an A flying.
This new Omega looked rather easy to bully. She wasn't tall, and the amount of skin she showed was pitifully small.
"You… you…"
The bruised and swollen Alpha trembled with anger. Chi Yueshan let out a laugh. "You bumped into me first."
Her words were spoken with such righteous conviction that, under the bright, warm yellow light of the auditorium entrance, they struck Xi Zhoumeng as having a heart-stirring cuteness.
She thought: Have I been slacking off for too long?
Or have I been pretending to have a crush on Wen Xinghuo for so long that any halfway decent Omega can make my favorability for them skyrocket?
The key point was that this cannon fodder girl didn't have long to live.
Xi Zhoumeng had transmigrated into this novel, My Interstellar Girlfriend, as a female supporting character for over a decade, and her memory of the original plot was already fuzzy.
Her only companion was a system that would chat with her and occasionally zap her with electricity.
The system said it would leave once Wen Xinghuo got together with her official wife. The problem was, this defective product's database was damaged, so it didn't know who Wen Xinghuo's wife was.
This book was about an illegitimate daughter who was brought back to her family from the Lower World and fought her way to the top.
The romance plot wasn't a fifty-fifty split with the action, nor was it a straightforward power fantasy. The setup was a classic "from universally loathed to universally loved."
In the early stages, to highlight the protagonist's honest and loyal character, a control group supporting character, Xi Zhoumeng, was arranged.
Once the protagonist enrolled in the academy and the main storyline officially began, a minor cannon fodder character who adored the protagonist, Chi Yueshan, would appear.
In the original novel, Xi Zhoumeng was not only jealous of the protagonist but also fell in love with her. The later cannon fodder, Chi Yueshan, fell for the protagonist at first sight.
Unfortunately, a supporting character was just a supporting character. The protagonist's wife was called the second female lead.
According to spoilers, while the second female lead wasn't exactly a final boss, she could at least be described as deranged. Unfortunately, Xi Zhoumeng transmigrated before she could finish the story.
The original novel padded its length for over five hundred chapters. The early parts where Wen Xinghuo was suppressed and bullied were relatively short. Later, during the Guyun Academy arc, it was as if she had activated cheat codes. The second female lead hadn't appeared, but as the protagonist leveled up, a constant stream of romantic interests emerged, forcibly turning what was advertised as a 1v1 story into a harem-style "bet on your ship" novel.
Xi Zhoumeng had originally just wanted to kill some time, but who could have known she'd kill her way right into the book.
If she ever got out of here alive, she would definitely tell everyone on the internet: if you see a novel with your name in it—
Run!!!
As cannon fodder supporting character number one, Xi Zhoumeng was twelve when she transmigrated. At that time, Wen Xinghuo had already returned to the Wen Family and become this world's Xi Zhoumeng's servant at school. Not only was she bullied at school, but she also didn't get enough to eat at home. She looked sallow and emaciated, a world apart from the muscular woman she was now.
Xi Zhoumeng's first life in her original world had been mind-numbingly boring. After a complete breakdown, she had constantly sought excitement. Coming here was actually quite interesting, and she had no strong desire to return. The only problem was the system, which, besides chatting, would also electrocute her, making it a bit difficult to handle.
When Xi Zhoumeng transmigrated, the original plot had reached the point where Chi Yueshan teamed up with Wen Xinghuo for a practical training mission, during which Chi Yueshan was killed on the spot in a Zerg attack on a dwarf planet.
Of course, this death was foreshadowed. After five hundred chapters, readers still couldn't figure out the perpetrator's name, but everyone was certain it was done by Wen Xinghuo's wife.
From Wen Xinghuo's perspective in the original text, there was a description of her saving a girl.
This author was a master of baiting readers, which made Xi Zhoumeng curse while simultaneously making large donations to keep up with the serialization.
She had chased the story so hard she became cannon fodder, and even after all these years, she still regretted it.
She had already felt sorry for the Chi Yueshan in the original story, who ended up being torn apart by the Zerg.
After all, they were love rivals, both just paving the way for Wen Xinghuo's great wife.
Fighting over a love interest never ended well.
Over the years, Xi Zhoumeng had worked hard to localize her character profile, step by step testing the consequences of defying the main storyline.
If it weren't for the system that zapped her whenever she slacked off, she would have quit long ago.
In the early years, every time she skipped a plot point, something unexpected would happen.
Nevertheless, Xi Zhoumeng's character profile had arduously transformed from "I'm the vicious supporting character who beats and scolds the protagonist" to "I'm the protagonist's incredibly beautiful childhood friend."
Without paying too great a price, she had managed to create the illusion that "Xi Zhoumeng and Wen Xinghuo are a couple," and the plot still progressed as usual.
Moreover, according to a spoiler the author dropped in the comment section back then, Wen Xinghuo's wife was supposed to be a royal female Omega from the same year as Chi Yueshan.
Xi Zhoumeng thought: As long as I can quickly find the female lead and get her together with Wen Xinghuo, I should be considered to have completed my mission and can finally slack off completely in this world.
No one disturbed the beautiful senior while she was lost in thought. Many people just stared at her with longing.
After all, the light was dim and yellow, and the crescent moon in the distance was perfectly serene.
It made the Omega on the vehicle look like a goddess descended from heaven.
What a load of crap. Chi Yueshan was getting very impatient.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to eat."
Only then did Xi Zhoumeng snap back to reality. The moment her brow furrowed, many people glared angrily at Chi Yueshan.
Chi Yueshan's mouth twitched as she thought: Is this person universally adored? If so, couldn't we just send her to the battlefield and achieve a decisive victory?
With this thought in mind, she looked at Xi Zhoumeng for a moment, this time without the usual animosity for a love rival.
But Xi Zhoumeng smiled. "Did he bully you?"
What does that mean? Is she my boss? Does she have to stand up for me?
Chi Yueshan was annoyed again. She pushed up her clunky glasses. "He provoked me."
The word "bully" was what Chi Yueshan hated most.
She was born without a mother. Her Omega father had married an ordinary worker Alpha, taking her with him. When Chi Yueshan was eight, her father died of illness, and Chi Yueshan was kicked out of the house.
She became an apprentice at a machinery shop in the underground trading city. The year she presented, the master who had taken her in also died.
Chi Yueshan became a wandering Omega, and many people with ill intentions wanted to adopt her.
She saved up her Omega subsidies while working odd jobs to earn money.
The dirty and unlikable Omega was not the least bit delicate; she had even crippled a Beta vagrant once.
Over time, no one dared to provoke her anymore.
Xi Zhoumeng let out an "oh." She pointed a finger at the Alpha. "You. Yes, you, the thing with a face like a scallion pancake."
The first-years' impression of Xi Zhoumeng was still based on the effusive praise on the forums, completely ignoring the comments that exposed this beautiful senior's true nature.
A sharp tongue, a face-judger, a pot-stirrer.
The Alpha, who had just managed to stop his nosebleed, pointed at himself in astonishment.
Xi Zhoumeng nodded, her forehead ornament refracting the light as she did, looking noble and inviolable.
"Yes, you."
The other party was terrified. After all, among the noble families in the planet's capital, the Xi Family was at the very top.
His family had long since fallen from grace, with only a title remaining. And its children didn't have Wen Xinghuo's luck, able to latch onto such a beautiful Omega.
"Apologize. She's right, anyone who can't get into the Day Class is trash."
She spoke the most cutting words in the gentlest voice, not forgetting to offer a small carrot: "Work hard, okay? Senior has high hopes for you."
Xuan Ping clutched her chest like a maiden, whispering, "Senior is so gentle."
Goosebumps erupted all over Chi Yueshan's body. She suddenly felt the autumn wind was far too bleak, blowing her into a state of existential doubt.
Can this world, which only values looks, be a little kinder to an ordinary Omega like me?
This?
A goddess?
That Alpha looked at Chi Yueshan, then at Xi Zhoumeng's smiling face.
Before apologizing, he had to save some face. "I have a cold today and was caught off guard. You, this Omega, are too barbaric. Whoever gets matched with you must have the worst luck imaginable."
He snorted heavily through his nose.
"Sorry."
The snort showed no trace of a cold, and the single word was spoken like the buzzing of a mosquito, not even as loud as the nearby Xuan Ping.
Chi Yueshan said, "Oh," and lifted her chin. The hair on both sides of her cheeks was as messy as if a dog had chewed on it, yet it couldn't hide her arrogant air.
"How can you say Senior Wen Xinghuo is unlucky?"
Xuan Ping nearly fainted, because she saw many people recording.
Chi Yueshan's words were like a clap of thunder on a clear day, a perfect demonstration of what it meant to be shameless and for a toad to lust after a swan's flesh.
Although that swan was a black one.
Chi Yueshan said, "I didn't hear that last word clearly."
She even cleaned her ear in a very unladylike manner, which annoyed Xi Zhoumeng's inner neat freak, making her want to drag this grimy mutt off for a bath.
"You!—"
The pig Alpha's companion pulled him back. "Brother Ou, forget it, forget it."
He said it again.
Only then was Chi Yueshan satisfied.
The surrounding people slowly dispersed, and Chi Yueshan planned to go to the dining hall with Xuan Ping.
But Xi Zhoumeng had no intention of leaving.
The hovercar made a turn and blocked Chi Yueshan's path.
The sheep on the car's hood looked so tender, raising suspicions of child labor, and its eyes were so clear that Chi Yueshan even felt a slight urge to pet it.
But petting a sheep depended on its owner, and she disdained the things belonging to her rival.
She believed that one day, through her own hard work, she would get everything she wanted.
Including her beloved Senior Wen Xinghuo.
Unfortunately, the person who had come was here precisely to stop her for that reason.
The female Omega in the car looked down at her from above. They were closer now than before.
On the stage, Chi Yueshan hadn't even given her a proper look. Only now did she notice that Xi Zhoumeng had a red mole on her left cheekbone.
The dim yellow light traced her silhouette with a dreamlike golden glow, like an Eastern goddess from an ancient scroll.
But that red mole made her seem amorous, as if proclaiming that this goddess was destined to fall to the mortal world.
"You want to marry Wen Xinghuo?"
Although the question came from a rival, the words "marry Wen Xinghuo" were enough to make Chi Yueshan's blood boil.
Her face instantly turned red. Trying to save face, she turned around and stuck her hands in her pockets to strike a pose.
Unfortunately, the school uniform had no pockets. She fumbled for her pants pockets and found only air, a picture of pure panic.
"Mar-marrying is still… still too far off. I-I just want Senior Wen to notice me."
After speaking, the wolf-cut Omega didn't forget to add a threat, glaring fiercely at Xi Zhoumeng. "I won't lose to you!"
Xi Zhoumeng nodded, her smile deceptively gentle. "Do you know what she likes to eat? What brand of clothes she loves to wear? Which training room she uses?"
This triple-question combo made Chi Yueshan stumble back a few steps, like a balloon that had been pricked and was now deflating.
Xi Zhoumeng let out an arrogant laugh. "And you still want to compete with me for her?"
Her alluring voice drifted out from the hovercar—
"Tomorrow at ten in the morning is the academy's public class. You can ask her if she remembers you."
Chi Yueshan cursed under her breath.
She gritted her teeth in frustration and asked Xuan Ping, "Is she showing off to me?"
Xuan Ping shook her head. "Senior is just stating the facts."
Chi Yueshan grew even angrier.
Xi Zhoumeng admired her new manicure and looked down at her skirt with a sigh.
She thought: If only I didn't have a dick, that would be great. I could even go to the bathhouse and soak in a private tub with her.
【System: Watch your language! It needs to fit your character profile!】
Xi Zhoumeng clicked her tongue and replied that she understood.
This world seems so advanced, so why does it only allow for gland removal and not dick removal?
Isn't there a happy way to get it cut off and still live?
【System: …】
What on earth was this person.
