Chapter 4: How can an alpha borrow money from an omega…

Yu Hanzhou smelled that sweet and creamy chocolate scent.

He thought about how a little alpha could like this flavor.

It was rare that Ming Huan asked him for anything.

Yu Hanzhou didn’t say anything more and covered the top of Ming Huan’s head with his hand to try to counteract Ming Huan’s somewhat unstable mental energy.

Ming Huan felt as if a needle was about to pierce in his head, and the feeling of being invaded made him instinctively resist.

“Don’t resist.”

The broad palm of his hand held his head down, and a thin bit of warmth penetrated through his palm.

In the street, it looked like a pair of intimate lovers embracing each other after a long time to those who did not know the truth.

However, Ming Huan could only feel in that moment that an adult SSS-level dragon’s spiritual power was like a stormy deep sea that was deep and bottomless which was constantly lunging at him.

Ming Huan relaxed and allowed Yu Hanzhou to keep his mental energy under control.

That seawater then gently washed over him.

Once he was a little unsteady, the backwash would be like a shocking wave that completely overturned his small boat.

The young Ming Huan, who did not have mental energy before, never had this feeling.

The pain and itch at his tailbone slowly disappeared, and the horns that had just emerged from his forehead were withdrawn.

“Okay.”

‘So Yu Hanzhou could actually help him press the mental energy back in, so why didn’t he do it last night?’

‘Not only did you not help me stabilize my mental energy, but you also cut my pants!’

His eyes showed a bit of resentment.

“Last night, you inhaled tranquilizers. If I suppressed your mental energy, you would subconsciously resist and if I were to forcefully suppress your mental energy, you would be injured.” Yu Hanzhou looked at a little cream stain on his shirt and faintly said, “Come on, let’s go home. Oh, and-” People came and went, but the long-bodied man had his hands in his trench coat pockets. Even without his military uniform, his figure was still straight and erect, “I didn’t cut your pants. Your tail can even cut the back of my hand so a pair of pants is easy to cut.”

Ming Huan just remembered that Yu Hanzhou’s hand was cut by him yesterday, although only a faint bit of scarring remained now. He also said that he deserved it in his anger.

Yu Hanzhou actually did not bother with him about this.

“You can’t control your mental energy right now, so try to stay emotionally calm. Tomorrow, I’ll take you on a test flight. If you can steadily use your wings and tail to learn how to keep your balance when flying, then your mental energy should no longer go berserk easily. Learning to manipulate mental energy is a must.”

‘Come on, there’s another course to do before that’s a mandatory course.

‘In your opinion, is there anything in this world that is not mandatory?’

‘No!’

‘There are courses all over the place!’

Ming Huan returned home, and turned on his terminal to connect to his terminal. He then entered StarNet once again. This time he did not enter the forum, but sent a message to Xie Shuci, “Shuci, are there any other maintenance tasks?”

“No, not yet. What’s wrong, Ming Huan? You’re short of money again?”

“You’re ridiculous, when am I not short of money?” Ming Huan indignantly transferred the remaining eighteen star coins left after he had just bought ice cream into his account.

In front of Yu Hanzhou, he may be sweet and humble as he had a ‘I have no money and am poor’ look but was actually not.

The balance on his account now had more than nine million star coins.

He saved it little by little.

This was all earned by taking some obsolete aircraft repair tasks on the star network. He came to this world to learn ancient mecha manufacturing and aircraft parts construction. He received the most professional teaching with the most rigorous practical operation in the first military school of the empire, and his superior memory and comprehension allowed him to repair some simple models with ease.

Ming Huan knew that most of those that he repaired were warplanes that others had abandoned on deserted planets or they simply might have been stolen.

Thus,  the pay for repairs were very high.

He never asked where those warplanes came from, nor did he ask the identity of the person who had them.

He only quoted according to the degree of damage and difficulty of repair.

Xie Shuci’s family held 80% of Federation’s mineral mining rights, including many rare ores necessary for repairing warplanes.

He provided them all to Ming Huan for free.

He seemed to think that Ming Huan was not happy in the admiral’s residence.

Yu Hanzhou was the one who was in charge of the Federation’s military department, but he actually let Ming Huan lack in money to such an extent.

Ming Huan was not his real son.

‘Was that why he was treated this way?’

Xie Shuci wanted to help him as much as he could and make his life better.

Ming Huan was an alpha and had high self-esteem. Xie Shuci could only help him in a different way.

“Ming Huan, I’m going to do a test flight tomorrow, will you join me?” Xie Shuci suddenly asked, “I heard my father say, Admiral Yu may go to Federation First Military Academy tomorrow to personally give you a test flight, is that true?”

Ming Huan said perfunctorily, ” Um, yes.” His eyes unblinkingly stared at his account balance while opening the auction for the ownership of the remote agricultural planet called Star in the 17th district.

The current estimated price had been lowered a little more.

It had become eighteen million star coins.

“Ming Huan, I am so happy that you have also reached the growth stage, perhaps, we can differentiate together- You’re alpha, I’m omega…. I…. I….”

Ming Huan scratched his head.

He only had half now.

There were still nine million star coins left.

If he couldn’t save enough money, there was no way for him to immediately auction off the ownership and use of the planet even if he was differentiated. There was no way to disappear in front of Yu Hanzhou and secretly go to that agricultural planet to retire smoothly.

“I like–“

“Xie Shuci, if I’m very, very short of money, can you lend me, er, some of the money first?” Ming Huan felt he had to be prepared in advance.

Xie Shuci choked for a moment. Then he asked with his usual gentle smile, “Well, how much? You tell me, I’ll go prepare.”

Although Ming Huan knew that the Xie family was not short of money, this direct request still felt very awkward.

He was an alpha, how could he ask an omega for money?

As if he could see the tangle in his heart, Xie Shuci gently comforted, “It doesn’t matter, Ming Huan. We are… best friends. If you can’t pay it back at once, you can pay it back slowly.”

“I’d rather find my own way.” Ming Huan couldn’t get over the bump in the end.

Xie Shuci already had someone he liked. When it was time for him to differentiate, he would also get married to that person. Although it was not written in the original plotline, what would he be able to say if he were his husband and couldn’t pay back the nine million star coins that he borrowed? It was too unrealistic.

He must raise enough money before the anonymous auction to buy that agricultural planet.

It was remote enough as it was far enough away from Capital Star, and there was no monitoring station set up on the planet. It was the best place for him to retire after three years of consideration.

When he leaves Capital Star and goes to that remote planet, he would be sure not to tell anyone his address and that included Xie Shuci.

He did not want to take the career line that the protagonist of the original book had chosen.

…. Although he was very envious of the dozens of wives he had.

However, he really just wanted to differentiate, run away from it all, and retire quietly.

Ming Huan thought of the husband factor and could not help but snap his finger. Whoever married Xie Shuci would be really lucky.

The son of the richest man in the Federation, ah.

The richest omega, and still a great beauty.

Xie Shuci seemed a little disappointed and wanted to say something more.

Ming Huan, however, withdrew with some preoccupation.

The next day Yu Hanzhou did take him to Union’s 1st Military Academy, and the test site was in a tower-shaped building that was thin at the top and wide at the bottom which was topped by a platform. The building was surrounded by a barrier for 2,000 meters, so no one could get in during the opening hours.

It was the first time that Ming Huan got out of his flying machine and stood at such a high place.

It was as if a gust of wind could scrape him down.

His legs were a little weak.

Xie Shuci, on the contrary, had very stable mental energy. The wings behind him opened, and he soon learned how to balance mental energy under the guidance of the teacher. He jumped directly into the wind, and flew a thousand meters in the blue sky and then came back around.

Ming Huan could not.

Somehow, his wings were a little difficult to open.

His mental energy was so unstable that there was no way to control his wings comfortably.

“Are you ready?”

“No….” Ming Huan wanted to say no, but when he saw Yu Hanzhou behind him, he gritted his teeth, “Okay.”

“Don’t be nervous.” The instructor smoothed the top of his head and said, “Flying is something every young dragon must learn, it’s a sign that they can smoothly control their mental energy during their growth period. Ming Huan, you can do it.”

Yu Hanzhou’s voice came from the back, “If you can’t learn to fly, then there will be no way to take the Junior Commander exam the day after tomorrow. A dragon that can’t even control its own mental energy can’t fly any flying machine.”

“Admiral Yu, if you say that…. The boy will be more nervous.” The instructor soothed, “Ming Huan, don’t be afraid, close your eyes and jump down. Instinct will teach you how to control your mental energy in a crisis. Believe me, you are the best alpha. In the future, you will be as good as Admiral Yu as a senior commander, this is just the beginning –“

Ming Huan clenched his teeth, “I, I’m not afraid, it’s just a little windy.”

‘Yeah, he’s an alpha.’

‘There was no reason why Xie Shuci could do what he could not do himself.’

He stood on the edge, and his feet stepped outside as he looked down to the ground at a distance of three hundred meters.

‘Dizzy, he was a little dizzy.’

Ming Huan’s throat rolled up and down as he closed his eyes and fell straight down.

He regretted just jumping out.

Because he found that he simply could not spread the wings since he could not figure out where they were. His legs went out and he fell straight down like a pail.

The more he fell, the faster he fell.

Ming Huan was so scared that his eyes became vertical pupils, and his tail swung all over the place which hurt as it hit his calves.

But he just couldn’t spread his wings!

Three hundred meters of the ground was instantly close at hand. Just a moment before landing, something wrapped around his abdomen to curb his falling speed.

At the same time, Ming Huan seemed to have fought through some unexpected switch from extreme fear, and his wings appeared behind him. He huffed and fluttered two times against the sunset, once from the bottom of the tower up to the top of the tower.

Ming Huan gasped for breath and came back to his senses to see Yu Hanzhou and his teacher standing next to him.

The teacher looked worried, “Ming Huan, are you okay?”

Ming Huan’s horns and tail could not be retracted at all, and before he could catch his breath, he heard Yu Hanzhou say, “Jump again.”

“Wh… what?”

Yu Hanzhou, “Jump again.”

Ming Huan was furious, “You want me to die?!”

“You’re not going to die.” Yu Hanzhou seemed to resent his childish words, “Listen to me, jump.”

“Yu Hanzhou, you!” Ming Huan’s face turned pale with anger.

“In three days, if you do not have a way to stabilize your mental energy, then the junior commander exam….”

“Junior commander exam, you know, the Junior commander exam!”

Ming Huan indignantly roared, “Who told you I want to be a commander? Who told you I want to learn those things? I tell you, I quit!”

After saying that, the striking little young dragon jumped from the top of the tower.

Xie Shuci, “….”

Teacher, “….”

The beautiful silver wings were plated with a bright golden pink under the sunset’s afterglow, and each flap seemed to reflect a fine diamond-like light.

If not for the automatic regulator turned on in the barrier, the wind would have been blowing all over now.

Xie Shuci looked stunned.

These were the wings of a white feathered dragon.
