SUMMARY:

In the second year of his transmigration to the Zedoary Continent, Zhou Yan discovered that he had changed from alpha to omega. What’s worse, inhibitors, blockers and camouflage agents have not been developed yet. The people of this place were simple and natural, and occasionally people would enter their heat in public, on the street, attracting a bunch of onlookers.

Who could stand it, he was not an unevolved primitive. However, he had a good brain, all the cutting-edge technology of the Milky Way was packed inside, and a bottle of inhibitors can’t defeat him. Zhou Yan believes in science, science can solve everything.

The first day, a man in a black robe with an ugly face fell in front of Zhou Yan’s house, burning with a three-foot-high blue flame, looking very unscientific. Zhou Yan immediately decided to drag the body back and perform a thorough autopsy.

The black-robed man suddenly opened his eyes, and his ugly face fell to the ground with a “snap”.

“You don’t have that kind of setting where I have to be responsible for you when I see your actual face, do you?”

The black-robed man narrowed his eyes and sniffed gently, pulling up a flamboyant smile at Zhou Yan, “If you stay here any longer, I’m afraid it will be me who will have to be responsible.”

A scientist from the future with advanced science and technology transmigrates to the backward era of magic, encountering powerful magicians, hideous and ugly magical beasts, and a completely out-of-control pheromone… He also depends on science to survive, and appreciates the fierce sparks generated by the collision of science and magic. A light-hearted novel, the protagonist is a technical person with high technology, the other a powerful magician. During the process of getting along with each other, their ideas collide fiercely. Together they lead the people of the otherworldly continent to prosperity.

The snow fell all night, and the temperature that had risen a bit quickly dropped again. Zhou Yan went to the window, took the soft cloth on the table and wiped the condensation off the window glass, and saw that it was a silvery scene outside.

The merchant may not be able to come today.

He calculated the time to be near his home planet’s Chinese New Year, so he booked a carload of New Year’s goods from the merchant, but this accident occurred.

It was strange. Since he came here, he’d never experienced weather where it continuously snowed for many days in a row. This year was a bit unusual.

Zhou Yan was not from this world, he was currently living in a world called the Zedoary Continent. It was primitive and backward, so here and his previous world were two opposite extremes. In his former world, the life expectancy of human beings could be extended to 400 years through genetic optimization and drug conditioning, and the living space of human beings had been extended to the whole universe. Survival space, diseases, and genes were no longer factors limiting human activities. By contrast, people on the Zedoary Continent had not even mastered the basic skills of farming.

Everything in the world could be explained by science, and Zhou Yan felt that his transmigration was likely to be through a space-time wormhole, accidentally arriving in a parallel otherworld, or at the Dense Cloud Planet tens of thousands of years ago. Zhou Yan was willing to explain what he had experienced so far in terms of transmigration wormholes: a substance that perhaps connected the entrances to different spaces still remained absolutely mysterious.

Zhou Yan used to be the elite research leader of Dense Cloud Planet, with a wide range of engineering projects under him. Encompassing many fields, so to speak, Zhou Yan’s brain stored enough knowledge to change the world, from mechanical physics to biomedicine, from agricultural farming to chemical power, there were limited things he did not know.

Wasn’t that incredible? But it was not so amazing to Zhou Yan.

People like him on the Dense Cloud Planet were rare, but not unknown. He was a genetically optimized alpha who had reached 99.9%, which meant he could not only reach the human limit in terms of life expectancy, but also hit the biological ceiling in terms of intelligence and physical ability. Of course, genetic optimization did not apply to everyone, as some people’s physique could not accept high-intensity genetic optimization and were prone to problems. The general level of genetic optimization was mostly around 30%. If someone could reach 50%, that was already very good, so those like Zhou Yan would be considered a rare species.

This kind of person, of course, should be able to achieve the ultimate stage in their own field of expertise.

…

But now, those brilliant achievements had become history, and now Zhou Yan was not even an alpha anymore.

The second year after arriving on the Zedoary Continent, Zhou Yan found out that he had differentiated into an omega, and that his glands had just reached maturity. If he left it alone, he would probably enter the estrus stage in a short time. This was too much and caught him off guard!

But a strong person was a strong person, in the face of any situation, they could maintain their sanity, and Zhou Yan’s shock did not last more than three seconds.

After that, he immediately considered the countermeasure…

There was no time for him to break down and he needed to keep his wits about him.

Zhou Yan looked at the white world outside the window glass, sighed deeply, and then tore off a calendar month from the desk calendar.

Zhou Yan twisted the calendar and counted, there were still three pages to be torn to the Spring Festival. In his heart, he was silently looking forward to it and hoped that the goods could be delivered to Kohl Town before then. He did not want to spend New Year’s Day only eating cabbage stew with potatoes.

Kohl Town was where Zhou Yan currently lived. It was located at the westernmost end of the Zedoary Continent, and because of its remote location, few people came here to do business, and merchants only passed by occasionally. The pace of life here was particularly slow, and except for some special exchange days, people here were actually very insensitive to date changes, not to mention the habit of calculating dates. But Zhou Yan still used his own way to make a calendar using the Dense Cloud Planet calendar as reference, even in this kind of place, he did not want to live in confusion.

Without anything to do, Zhou Yan took a broom and went out to clean the road around his house, so that it would be more convenient for the merchant. He was really an anomaly in Kohl Town, no one in the town would clean around their house like he did. They were very lazy and had to find excuses for their laziness. These people believed that everything should be done according to nature, the snow should be allowed to melt where it fell, and the leaves should be allowed to rot where they lay. These were God’s instructions, and it was best not to change them at will.

Zhou Yan felt ridiculous every time he heard such a statement. The person across from him just went out a few steps and slipped on the snow, falling and fracturing his tail vertebrae.

Zhou Yan was sweeping to the door when he suddenly heard a rumble of footsteps running from behind him, and subconsciously turned around as a group of people ran past him like a gust of wind. Zhou Yan subconsciously frowned and tried to close the courtyard door—there were few reasons for these lazy people to run, probably another…

“Zhou Yan!”

As he was thinking, the action of closing the door in his hand slowed down half a beat, and a voice called out his name loudly. He knew the other party by the sound of his voice: Xiao Ban from next door, who called out to him with such vigor every time he saw him.

Zhou Yan, however, reflexively pushed the courtyard door forward and directly tried to close it.

But Xiao Ban also reacted very quickly, pinching the courtyard door fence to stop him from closing the door.

Zhou Yan looked over with a cold face and Xiao Ban’s playful face appeared in his field of vision. “How can you close the door when you see me?”

Zhou Yan’s expression did not change, and he said indifferently, “I guessed what you wanted to say. I do not want to go.”

Xiao Ban’s eyes widened in surprise. “How did you know that I wanted to call you to go with me to see the fun? You are really smart!”

“…” This had absolutely nothing to do with whether he was smart or not, but in this lazy town, the only thing that could arouse everyone’s interest was this matter.

“Listen, this time, the omega in estrus is especially beautiful! We’re all going to get our fill, are you sure you don’t want to go? You know there hasn’t been an omega in Kohl Town for years!”

—Yes, that’s the thing.

He didn’t know if it was a Zedoary Continent tradition or a Kohl Town tradition, but if an omega or an alpha accidentally entered estrus in the street, the first reaction of others was not to rush them to a medical facility or separate them, but to go and watch.

Surrounded by spectators! Like primitive people or animals, watching them instinctively mate!

This was one of the most crucial reasons why Zhou Yan hated that he had become an omega—there were no inhibitors or blockers to control pheromones in this world, and people here had never even heard of these things. They treated estrus the same way they treated falling snow and falling leaves: hoping to soothe! It! Naturally! Natural! Ly!! Yes, that’s what it means, it doesn’t matter if you mate on the street, it’s only foolish to fight against this biological instinct.

After living in a highly civilized world for so many years, he was suddenly told to “let nature take its course”, which was too much for Zhou Yan to accept. He gave Xiao Ban an indifferent look. “I’ve always been curious as to why this kind of thing would appeal to you.”

It was the first time Xiao Ban had heard someone ask such a question, because he had the impression that this kind of thing was rightfully attractive to him, it was innate, and that the little ones he played with were all excited by such things.

It was Zhou Yan who was the exception.

“I was going to ask you why you were indifferent to this.” Xiao Ban brushed it aside, “Forget it, you are a beta, of course you can’t understand the joy between alphas and omegas, your life must be very boring.”

—This was the benefit of inhibitors, Zhou Yan not only successfully developed inhibitors, but also developed blockers, whether it was daily or estrus period, his pheromone would not float out even a little. Oh yes, in order to prevent himself from being affected by other alpha’s pheromones, Zhou Yan also made blockers that could affect his sense of smell, blocking not only himself but also others, and to this day, he was as unknowing as a minor.

So even his neighbors didn’t know what his real gender really was, and because he was cold and indifferent to everything, very similar to an indifferent beta, everyone thought he was just an ordinary beta.

Zhou Yan stared at Xiao Ban for a long time and shook his head regretfully. “I don’t blame you, it’s the tears of time.”

The guy who couldn’t break away from the low class, was no different from a beast.

No, he could not use such mean words to describe them, as creatures, naturally must first meet the low-level desires to have the experience to pursue higher spiritual food, the overall social productivity of this world was extremely low, there were many people that even had problems with food and clothing, how noble could they be asked to be? Not to mention that they were only “ancient” to him, and there was a difference of tens of thousands of years of evolution between the two sides.

“Huh? Tears of time? What does that mean…”

Zhou Yan ignored Xiao Ban and turned around to go back to the house, but at that moment, there was a noise from the corner, the sound of coaxing, cheering, laughing, and a few inaudible moans. Zhou Yan subconsciously frowned, and was about to close the door. Xiao Ban, whose attention was drawn by the noise, gave Zhou Yan a cautious glance and said, somewhat gloatingly, “Yo, what are they doing over there?”

His subtext seemed to say, These people really don’t know what they’re doing.

Zhou Yan looked back and saw a disheveled man rushing towards his direction, and even from this distance Zhou Yan could see the tear marks on his face. He was dressed very thinly, a sweet fragrance belonging to omega wisped out from his body, like he was a piece of delicious shortcake.

He was delicious, and defenseless.

“Shortcake” did not seem to want to do anything with the alpha who was near him in the street. He kept asking for help from the people around him, helpless and desperate. But in the face of his pleas for help, they just laughed and smiled at him, looking forward to the “good show” that would follow.

No one was bothered. Here, everyone would regard this behavior as normal. Even if the other protagonist shows reluctance, they would think it was just an omega’s escape instinct… No one would step in to help.

“Shortcake” obviously also understood this. Soon, he stopped begging for help, his eyes flooded with dark, cold despair.

Omegas did not have a physical advantage, and since he had fled for so long, “Shortcake” was exhausted. He was finally caught by the alpha, the surrounding people laughing and surrounding him. “Shortcake” was dragged into the circle, his pair of dark eyes also drowned in the crowd…

“Whoosh…”

Suddenly, a slight cracking sound whistled by. The noise of laughter seemed to be non-existent, but immediately after, someone in the crowd let out a scream. The originally still-watching crowd shouted and scattered away, revealing the two people in the middle. The omega, who smelled like cake, was fine, just in shock, but the alpha had fallen to the ground with his head bleeding, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The weapon that hit him was a broom, the bristles of which were still covered with unmelted snow clumps.

…The man in the middle of so many people was accurately hit on the head, so cleverly. On this street, only one person could do it.

One man came back to his senses, and the crowd moved back one after another, then turned back to look at Zhou Yan.

There were many people on the scene, but no one dared to be the first to speak. The perpetrator still had an impersonal, cold face, unable to tell whether he was angry or happy, as if they were all air. He raised his jaw at the unkempt “Shortcake”, and, his tone very casual, said, “Pick up the broom for me.”
