Chapter 120

Such serious wording! Qin Su's heart skipped a beat, but he turned to face He Muzhi without changing his expression.

According to theoretical knowledge, Alphas have a strong sense of territory during their Heat Period. Seeing that He Muzhi they both considered to be in their Heat Period, didn't get too close, Qin Su was pleased and succinctly said, "Speak."

Qin Su changed from being back to face him to being face to face. He Muzhi's gaze naturally fell from Qin Su's neck to Qin Su's eyes. They stood in eye contact for only a moment. He Muzhi had been holding back for more than ten hours and did not want to endure it for even a second longer, directly asked Qin Su.

"Could I ask you, Class Monitor, how do you manage to maintain such a high level of rationality during your Heat Period, without any impact on your thinking or physical movements, and handle every situation with ease?"

[Case solved, they were just here to 'steal' his skills.]

[I'm also curious. According to the ABO setting in this manga, even if AOs take Suppressants during their Heat Period, their emotions and condition should still show abnormalities like He Muzhi's.]

[Even Brother Su's Pheromone levels are a mystery, and he can even control the Zerg, so it's normal for him to maintain his sanity and rationality.]

After asking the question, He Muzhi waited quietly for Qin Su's reply.

Both of them were in their Heat Period and deliberately kept a certain distance. He Muzhi was not very close to Qin Su, did not smell Qin Su's Pheromones, but only felt a slight chill.

Past experience has taught the students of Class 6) that Qin Su's Pheromones contain a distinct Cold Qi. Obviously, due to the Heat Period, the temperature in Qin Su's location is significantly lower than in other places.

So He Muzhi was staring at him for over ten hours, thinking about this question?

Qin Su: "..."

That's just his petty thinking.

Suppressing a speechless expression and not wanting to answer too quickly and make He Muzhi think he was just giving a perfunctory answer, Qin Su stared into He Muzhi's eyes for two seconds, creating the illusion of 'serious consideration', before saying, "There's no special way, it's just a habit."

The ingredients he injected into Gland 'Gland' made it feel cold and swollen, mainly cold.

He was already used to the cold.

Even if we take a step back... no, we don't need to take a single step back.

He wasn't lying at all.

It's just that he and He Muzhi were talking about different things.

He Muzhi: "...?"

'W-Can I get used to this?'

Throughout history, most people, after differentiating into Alpha and Omega at the age of twelve, have spent their entire lives enduring their Heat Periods alone, using traditional methods such as taking Suppressants or applying Pheromone Blocker Patches to temporarily suppress their fertile periods. He Muzhi had never heard of an Alpha or Omega being able to control their Heat Periods, which occur roughly once a month, to the point that they were able to maintain a state that was no different from normal.

'What Qin Su just demonstrated is undeniable. In the struggle against the innate instincts that arise after the differentiation of AO, Qin Su relied on his deliberate training time and time again to overcome human instincts.'

He Muzhi: "..."

'Qin Su's willpower is simply demonic.'

The unexpected answer left He Muzhi with a clear look of astonishment.

Before He Muzhi could think too much, Qin Su asked, "Is there any other problem?"

"... That's all."

He Muzhi pondered Qin Su's answer, then shook his head stiffly in shock.

Qin Su followed suit. "Goodbye."

As expected of the protagonist, he's incredibly eager to learn, wanting to learn everything he observes. However, as an Earthling with only theoretical knowledge and no practical experience, he's helpless in this regard.

"Goodbye..."

He Muzhi watched Qin Su's retreating figure, and all his thoughts finally coalesced into one idea.

'Can he do it?'

"He Muzhi, what were you whispering to our Class Monitor just now?"

The other students in Class 6 were curious about anything related to Qin Su, and patiently waited until Qin Su left. A group of people floated like ghosts behind He Muzhi.

Can you tell us?

Knowing that He Muzhi was in Heat Period, the people who usually cuddled with He Muzhi treated He Muzhi like Qin Su, keeping a distance when speaking to him to avoid making He Muzhi, who was already in Heat Period, feel even worse.

He Muzhi's thoughts returned, and he raised his hands to rub the temples on both sides of his forehead. When he turned to face his classmates, he took a few steps back.

'Even his closest friends from the past, he now finds fault with everyone and his mind is filled with acrimonious and sarcastic emotions.'

The bad news is that, through the approach of his classmates, he realized that he had not yet overcome the Alpha's instinct to 'claim territory' during its Heat Period.

Good news: the fact that he didn't show any resistance when standing opposite Qin Su means that his longing for Qin Su has temporarily made him forget the instincts of an Alpha during their Heat Period.

"I wonder... if Qin Su, who's also in his Heat Period, felt the same way I do with my classmates when he was standing across from me, finding everyone unpleasant and just telling them to stay away?"

As He Muzhi pondered, he noticed that his classmates had retreated further, repeatedly apologizing to him.

"I'm so sorry."

I'm so sorry.

The group took a few more steps back, moving even further away from He Muzhi.

"I'm sorry." Seeing how accommodating his classmates were, He Muzhi realized that his actions had been a bit hurtful. After apologizing, he quickly answered his classmates' questions, "There's nothing I can't say."

He can't do it, but what if his classmates can?

He Muzhi recounted his conversation with Qin Su to his classmates in detail.

When the repetition ended, He Muzhi saw the same look of surprise on his classmates' faces as he had just seen.

"Habit? No way, you can get used to this? Is that something a human could say? Brother Su, this is... terrifying."

"Sure, we betas can too, because we don't have Heat Period. I never thought I'd live to experience the benefits of being a beta."

"As expected of Qin Su, his willpower is extraordinary."

"How about... we give it a try?"

"Try it, we must try!"

[I think I get it now. What Brother Su meant was: He is the master of his emotions. Speaking of masters, right...]

[Even the normal state between Alpha's Heat Periods requires repeated practice until one gets used to suppressing all the Alpha's primal impulses and instincts during Heat Period... Don't you think that's terrifyingly abnormal? It's practically training oneself to become an emotionless robot.]

[Only by enduring what ordinary people cannot endure can one become the Boss 1 today. That's why we call him Boss 1.]

[beta: Yes, beta! We've made something of ourselves! (Sprinkles confetti)]

[Hey Interstellar People, you didn't expect this, did you? None of us Earthlings have Heat Period (doge)]

[It seems like Alphas and Omegas in the Interstellar World are truly blessed by the heavens, only to be punished with Heat Period afterward. Speaking of which... betas are really pitiful.]

[That's why Class 6 was favored by Qin Su; in order to emulate Qin Su, they were willing to defy their instincts.]

Although the students of Class 6 of Class of 25 did not get close, they listened to the whole thing from a distance. Those who could not hear used their Optical Brain to take pictures and enlarge the mouths of the students of Class of 26 Class 6, and guess what they were saying by looking at their lip movements.

After the students from Class 6 of the Class of 26 left, the students from Class of 25 discussed in hushed tones.

"Is what Qin Su said true or false?"

"Of course it's true. He Muzhi asked me personally. He Muzhi is someone Qin Su values. Rumor has it that everything Qin Su did for He Muzhi in the past was to help him become stronger. As for lying?"

"Then... shall we give it a try?"

"Try!"

The students' daily classes and training were already quite boring, so they wouldn't miss the opportunity to have fun online during their free time. Almost no one at the Fourth Military Academy would miss the chance to ride on Qin Su's popularity and show off the first-hand information they had about Qin Su.

Forums, StarNet... Students from both Class 6) began to skillfully write short essays from their own perspectives, using pictures and text.

Before Qin Su could even return to his dormitory, he saw through the barrage of comments that He Muzhi's suddenly increased Life Points that he knew what he had said to He Muzhi had spread like wildfire, not only on the Forums but also on the StarNet.

Stepping into the dormitory, Qin Su casually clicked on a popular post on the Forum, wanting to see just how absurdly everyone had been led astray by him.

[7L: Welcome to the 'Instinct Resistance During Heat Period' activity. Check-in starts tomorrow. This is your name card. Please Optical Brain the QR code to join the group (group name card. jpg). Alphas and Omegas who are in their Heat Period, please share your learning results from Qin Su in the group every day to become more perfect humans.]

[8L: Me! Me! Me! (raises hand)]

[9L: Can I get into the beta? (winks) I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to witness it.]

[73L: If it weren't for Brother Su's unquestionable popularity, based on what I posted on my homepage being screenshotted and posted on StarNet, I would definitely be labeled as Brother Su's paid shill.]

[74L: I'm laughing so hard I almost choked. A bunch of idiots actually took Qin Su's words as gospel? Qin Su was clearly playing you guys for fools. How can humans fight against their instincts? Being dominated by instincts is the fate of Alphas and Omegas.]

[75L: Hey upstairs, watch out or I'll get someone to mess with you]

[76L: The people on the Spaceship, take him down!]

[77L: Just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't either. Giving up without even trying will never amount to anything. I hate people who say discouraging things when everyone else is being positive. It's like they're asking for trouble if they don't argue back. 74L must be a naturally argumentative person.]

[78L: The Military Saber used by Brother Su in his Second Practical Exercise (40-meter Military Saber)]

[79L: Please take this seriously, 75th floor! I'll keep an eye on you.]

Qin Su: "..."

The Interstellar People's eagerness to learn never disappointed him. He didn't know if the 75th floor had taken the 74th floor's matter seriously, but they had indeed taken the seemingly unrelated but strangely connected points between him and He Muzhi seriously.

After leaving the Forum, Qin Su opened the StarNet, where countless topics about 'his successful fight against his Heat Period's emerged.

#A compilation of Qin Su's exquisite maneuvers Heat Period #

#During my Heat Period, encountering Qin Su felt like the sky was falling#

#I'm numb! No wonder he's Qin Su; so what if he's in his Heat Period?#

Qin Su, oh my god!#

#Is Qin Su cheating?#

Qin Su: I'm used to it#

#On the possibility of willpower overcoming instincts Heat Periods #

# (Class 6: Today was another day I was warmed by the dormitory Class Monitor.#

#If Qin Su can do it, so can we... we can give it a try#

#Learning from Qin Su to Combat the Heat Period - Team Assembles#

Seeing that not many people were criticizing him, Qin Su shut down his Optical Brain and opened the course materials he had brought back from the Real World to preview them.

For convenience, in the Real World this semester, apart from the required courses that cannot be chosen by oneself in the morning, Qin Su tries to choose elective courses after 2 pm.

Before leaving the Comic World, despite being in Heat Period and having a holiday that was assumed to be free of charge, Qin Su still informed his Class Advisor that he needed to ask for leave.

--

The Real World is divided.

Qin Su went back to his apartment and brought back the things he hadn't had time to bring back to his dorm when school started.

Lunchtime is usually a break time for students, and Qin Su consciously and deliberately kept his footsteps quiet the whole way.

Even though the suitcase was quiet, Qin Su didn't drag it on the ground. Since he would have to carry it up the stairs anyway, and the distance from the stairs to his dormitory was only a dozen steps, he simply carried it all the way from the bottom to the dormitory door.

There were only two people in the dormitory, him and Jiang Lu. Jiang Lu liked lively atmospheres. Although he didn't live there often because of the Comic World, he brought all his things back to the dormitory and arranged them as usual at the beginning of the new semester, so that Jiang Lu wouldn't feel lonely and cold because the dormitory was empty and desolate when she saw his personal space and belongings that he didn't take care of.

In order to maintain his Life Points, he had to focus on the Comic World, so he could only use his own items to decorate the dormitory to make it cozy. Most of the time, Jiang Lu was the only one using the dormitory.

The dormitory door was ajar, and Qin Su could hear Jiang Lu's voice coming through the crack in the door even while standing at the entrance.

Jiang Lu, who was watching "Interstellar Legends," flipped through the scenes of Qin Su's exploits during his Heat Period. Staring at the reddened skin on the back of Qin Su's neck, beyond the Alpha Pheromone Blocker Patch, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"Even with his neck swollen and hot, he was still able to calmly and composedly complete the Mecha operation demonstration. Truly worthy of being called Qin Su!"

"Wow, what incredible self-control! Qin Su, this new transfer student character, is absolutely amazing!"

"Even Alpha instincts can't control him. With that kind of willpower, he'll succeed at anything. No wonder his popularity remains so high!"

As Jiang Lu muttered to himself, his hands didn't stop moving; his fingers furiously tapped on the screen, and he contentedly sent out his own commentary:

[As expected of an Alpha, he's absolutely stunning! His self-control is off the charts; I'd call him the ultimate Alpha!]

Qin Su paused in his steps upon hearing his roommate's words outside the dormitory, but smiled without saying a word.

Pretending to be an A is a piece of cake.

Suppressing a smile, not wanting Jiang Lu to know he had overheard his conversation and embarrass him, Qin Su deliberately paced back and forth a couple of times.

Making the sound of footsteps approaching from afar, Qin Su raised his hand and placed it on the outer door before pushing it open.

Jiang Lu heard familiar footsteps stop outside the dormitory door, got up and turned around to see Qin Su's familiar figure.

"Qin Su! You're here."

As Jiang Lu spoke, he noticed the black suitcase next to Qin Su, and a clear look of joy appeared on his face.

"Okay." Qin Su nodded, quietly carried his suitcase into the dormitory, and said to Jiang Lu, who was standing there, "Don't worry about me."

"OK."

Jiang Lu nodded, watching Qin Su walk past him toward the wardrobe that belonged to Qin Su, and suddenly felt a chill.

The phrase 'cold aura' flashed through Jiang Lu's mind. Jiang Lu couldn't help but think of Qin Su from the Comic World. After following Qin Su past, he subconsciously stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look at the back of Qin Su's neck.

There was nothing there.

The symptoms of redness, swelling, and fever during the Heat Period are completely absent.

Jiang Lu: "..."

He's gone mad again.

Jiang Lu didn't quite understand why he always compared his roommate to two-dimensional characters from the Comic World. If Qin Su were to cosplay Qin Su from the Comic World, from his aura to the similarity in appearance, he would definitely be praised as a perfect recreation.

Unfortunately, all he could think was that Qin Su was someone who didn't even read comics, so how could he possibly be involved with or interested in the world of anime and manga? He must have lost his mind to come up with such absurd and outlandish ideas.

The secret thoughts hidden in his heart were destined to remain unfulfilled. Jiang Lu shook his head, trying to shake out the vast ocean of thoughts in his mind.

Qin Su remained unmoved by Jiang Lu's gaze behind him. Before coming here, when he went to the apartment to pack some things, he had already applied a thin layer of fake skin to the 'Gland' area on the back of his neck, which was invisible to the naked eye and could not even be felt by touch.

No matter how long Jiang Lu stared at it, he couldn't find any flaws.

Qin Su brought a lot of clothes. He didn't plan to appear in the Comic World for the next few days. After a busy holiday, he needed to take advantage of the default holiday period of his "Heat Period" to rest in the Real World.

A secondary reason is that his Life Points has now reached a little over 23 years, which Life Points for him to sleep soundly.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to freeze anymore. If he has to appear in the Comic World for seven consecutive days during his "Heat Period," injecting his "Glands " every day to fake his "Heat Period," he's afraid that freezing himself inside and out for seven days will cause him to develop rheumatoid arthritis at a young age.

He needs to take his time.

--

Comic World.

Qin Su appeared yesterday morning, leading He Muzhi to subconsciously believe that Qin Su would also appear the next morning. He spent the entire night fighting against his instincts and trying to control his emotions, but failed multiple times. Becoming a slave to his emotions, he took Suppressant and appeared in the Classroom.

(Class 6 saw He Muzhi appear, they were not surprised at all. Even a fool would know that He Muzhi had come for Qin Su.

However, Qin Su did not appear even when the school bell rang.

Why isn't the Class Monitor here again today?

"Something's probably up."

"Could it be that because the Class Monitor forced himself to be rational on the first day, his Heat Period would flare up even more on the second day?"

"What are you thinking? Absolutely impossible."

"Alright, alright," the subject teacher interrupted the discussion in Class 6, saying to everyone, "Quiet down, class is starting."

"Teacher, when will the content of the next practical exercise this semester be announced?"

Kaixier had just finished assembling when someone in the crowd asked a question.

"You should ask your Class Advisor Teacher Zhang, about that," Kaixier said with a smile. Seeing the obvious disappointment on the students' faces, she added, "However, according to past practice, it will be a joint effort between the Class of 26 and Class of 25 graduating classes."

"Is it all together?"

"No," Kaixier shook her head, "It's a draw between upperclassmen and lowerclassmen."

"Understood, we are the chosen ones."

"Does that mean if we get selected, we'll have to train with the senior class?"

"Judging by their seniority, they are more experienced than us. Does that mean we have to listen to them? Even the Class Monitor has to listen to them?"

Listening to the students' continuous questions, Kaixier only had this much information and couldn't answer any more questions, so she said, "You'll know in five days, don't worry."

While that may be Kaixier, gossip is in the nature of most humans, and almost no one can resist curiosity.

What made the students of Class 6) even more tormented was that Qin Su did not appear even once during this period, as if the scene on the first day of school was their hallucination.

The comments section was filled with accusations against Qin Su for "flirting and then running away".

The students felt like every second was an eternity, but the long five days finally came to an end.

Qin Su reappeared in Class 6), and everyone's eyes fell on the Glands on the back of Qin Su's neck.

The skin there was no different from the rest of the body; it was no longer red, swollen, or burning hot, and the Alpha Pheromone Blocker Patch was still applied there as usual.

After examining the Glands, the students of Class 6) took advantage of the time it took for Qin Su to walk in and sit down, eager to observe him closely from head to toe.

After six days of rest, although Qin Su was no longer afraid of his classmates' prying eyes,... were all their gazes a bit too intense?

[Aren't Glands supposed to be private areas? Isn't it impolite for everyone to keep staring at them?]

Can politeness put food on the table?

[How many dishes are there? Even Brother Su could resist watching?]

Zhang Minglang entered the classroom not long after Qin Su. Driven by curiosity about their first practical exercise of the semester, everyone reluctantly turned their gazes away from Qin Su and shared them with the Class Advisor.

Although Qin Su hasn't returned to the Comic World these days, he's been secretly reading the Comic Updates behind Jiang Lu's back, hiding behind his bed curtains in the Real World. He's fully aware of what's happening in the Comic World.

Like everyone else, he was curious about the content of the first practical exercise in the second semester, and his gaze fell on the Class Advisor along with that of his classmates.

"Tsk, look at those eyes of yours, you all clearly missed me." Zhang Minglang knew perfectly well why these brats were staring at him so intently, but he deliberately misinterpreted it as a joke.

His words drew laughter from everyone.

"Yes, yes, Teacher Zhang, could you please tell us about this practical exercise as soon as possible, considering how much we miss you?"

"Yes, Teacher Zhang, we're really in a hurry!"

Listening to his classmates using sweet words to coax the Class Advisor into smiling from ear to ear in order to get the answers, Qin Su, who couldn't say sweet words like his classmates, silently gave them a thumbs up in his heart.

Zhang Minglang glanced at Qin Su, who showed no curiosity about the practical exercises this semester, and didn't find it strange. In any case, no matter what the content was, it was all the same to the ridiculously strong Qin Su.

"Since you all asked so sincerely, I, your teacher, will mercifully show it to you." Zhang Minglang opened his Optical Brain and zoomed in on the rules interface.
