Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Tang Bai was stared at by Xie Ruhang and the back of his neck went cold, he shivered and the little tuft of dorky hair on top of his head trembled, "Brother Xie?"
Xie Ruhang snapped back, "It's getting late, there's one more area I can show you around before it gets dark, where do you want to go?"
Red light districts, underground arenas, black markets.
With those three options in front of him, Tang Bai hesitated, "I want to go to the black market."
The book mentioned the black market inside a black market merchant Qin old man, Xie Ruhang disguised as alpha potion is purchased from him.
Although Tang Bai had already confirmed that Xie Ruhang was the main character's victim, the whole thing was so ridiculous that he wanted to double-check and verify that the real-life character matched up with the important role in the book.
Black market in the West End, the appearance of an old residential building, a total of four floors, the first floor rented out as a kiosk, the doors and windows of the other floors closed, the balcony of the second floor is still drying big pants with wires.
But this seemingly ordinary residential building is the slum's largest drug exchange, arms smuggling warehouse, and a variety of prohibited items for sale, and even human beings can be trafficked openly.
Xie Ruhang took out a black cloak from the car and put it on Tang Bai, the wide hood covering most of his face, revealing only his slender jaw.
The hovercar slowly dropped down and docked next to a garbage truck, and as soon as the door opened, the pungent stench made Tang Bai wrinkle his little nose.
The ground around the garbage truck was littered with garbage, and Tang Bai even saw crawling cockroaches and flies, so irritating that he nearly fainted and panicked, covering his mouth and nose with his hands to prevent himself from screaming.
A nest of cockroaches! The super-sized kind!
His out-of-place behavior attracted the attention of many people around him, but they withdrew their gaze when they saw that Tang Bai was standing next to Xie Ruhang.
Xie Ruhang took Tang Bai to the kiosk on the first floor, the owner of the kiosk was an old man wearing presbyopia glasses, lying on a rattan chair with a drowsy look, "Is it Xiao Xie?" Obviously did not look at the face of the visitor and so on, but old man Qin said his identity in one breath.
Tang Bai stood obediently behind Xie Ruhang, surveying the old man in the rattan chair, as well as the wide array of goods on the shelves behind him, carbonated drinks, milk tea powder, stickers, bread, cookies, etc....... It looks no different from a normal kiosk, but inside those packages are actually drugs.
Xie Ruhang pulls out a bearer savings card, "The usual, ten tubes."
Is this buying potions disguised as alpha?
Dull hairs stood up alertly, and his amber eyes stared intently at Old Man Qin.
Only to see old man Qin slowly get up, stooping down to look in the cabinet, after taking out ten tubes of medicine, the medicine is different colors, Tang Bai guessed that there are camouflage agents and inhibitors inside, old man Qin put the medicine into a black plastic bag, trembling and handing it to Xie Ruhang.
It was a hand belonging to an old man, with loose skin and age spots, if it wasn't for the fact that Old Man Qin's identity had been introduced in the book, Tang Bai would not have been able to connect the old man in front of him with the most mysterious pharmacologist in the black market.
Another detail right ......
Even though the incident is very bizarre, Tang Bai clearly realizes that he is really living in a book.
Xie Ruhang, who had bought the healing medicine and stimulants, turned back and saw Tang Bai looking at him with a serious little face, his lips pursed, wanting to speak, stopping to speak.
Xie Ruhang : "......?"
"This potion hurts your body, doesn't it." Tang Bai hemmed and hawed.
The stimulants made by old man Qin did hurt his body more, but Xie Ruhang was an ace competitor of the underground arena, and often had the task of guarding the ring, the competitors of the underground arena had little sense of propriety, and everyone basically knocked out the drugs, even if he was powerful such as Xie Ruhang, he had to take a dose at some necessary moments.
"My body can take it."
After Xie Ruhang finished speaking, Tang Bai had a look on his face that said, "Young people really don't know how to exercise moderation," and was simply saddened by the situation.
Xie Ruhang : "......?"
Old man Qin pushed the frame and smiled slowly, "Xiao Xie, the little omega you brought is reminding you to take care of your health, yo."
Tang Bai nodded his head vigorously, afraid that Xie Ruhang would be upset like last time, and he added in a low voice, "It's not that you're not in good health right now, you're young and fine now, but what are you going to do when you're older later?"
The crowd was stunned at these words.
Tang Bai Thinking of the age of Xie Ruhang in the book, who died of illness, old man Qin's eyes flashed a trace of remembrance, and Xie Ruhang ......
He was a man from the slums, who slept through the sound of stray bullets, with the panic of precariousness etched in his bones, and actually never thought about what would happen when he got old.
In the middle of the day, a black-gloved hand gently pulled down the brim of Tang Bai's hat, "Thinking really far ahead."
Tang Bai's small, aggrieved face was shadowed as his little brain calculated the likelihood of getting the Institute to improve the camouflage agent, but surely the Institute wouldn't undertake such treasonous research, so what could he do to minimize the physical hazards of Xie Ruhang's injections?
Going to get help from Grandpa?
It doesn't seem quite possible.
Although Tang Bai's grandfather loved him, he would never have agreed to develop a potion that would make O turn into A.
Unable to come up with a solution, Tang Bai continues to follow Xie Ruhang on his tour of the black market. Entering from the first floor, Tang Bai sees four or five people sitting on chairs in the dimly lit hallway, either injecting or snorting drugs, their teeth black, their bodies full of needle holes, and in some serious cases dozens of holes in their bodies bleeding pus, which makes one shudder at the sight of them.
These drug addicts are just the tip of the iceberg in the slums. The huge profits from drug trafficking far exceed those from arms smuggling and human trafficking, and countless people have become victims in the face of the staggering profits.
Tang Bai's steps slowed down, and he stared blankly at everything in front of him, in a trance as if he were looking at another world.
How hard is it for an omega to grow up safely and struggle to become a marshal in such a world?
Although the book states that Xie Ruhang wasn't born an omega, but suddenly differentiated from a beta to an omega at the age of fourteen, it is fortunate that Old Man Chin used Xie Ruhang as a test subject to test the immature potion that allows omegas to masquerade as alphas, allowing Xie Ruhang to conceal her true gender.
Now he's asked to write about an omega struggling to become a master mech builder, and what is he supposed to write about?
Even from a God's point of view, able to make all the plot lines work for the protagonist, Tang Bai still felt powerless, and he was lost in thought.
Just then, a beta swished up its face and suddenly lunged towards Tang Bai with exuberance, its speed was by no means something a weak omega like Tang Bai could dodge!
Tang Bai's eyes were wide open, before he could react, he was embraced by a pair of strong hands, Xie Ruhang coldly kicked the beta away, the appalling force made the other person hit the wall with a thud, and he couldn't get up for half a day, and the new type of drugs he was carrying rolled out of his arms, and rolled to Tang Bai's face with a grunt.
"Don't daze, don't touch these things, don't eat food given by strangers." Xie Ruhang coldly said.
Tang Bai nodded with a bleak face and followed Xie Ruhang with small steps, like a small animal afraid of being lost.
After walking a few steps, Xie Ruhang seemed to remember something and turned back, his phoenix eyes looked at Tang Bai's watery eyes, after confirming that Tang Bai was not scared to tears, Xie Ruhang slowly added: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
-- "No one will hurt you with me."
The words that had been spoken on the way in seemed to ring in his ears, and Tang Bai's heart fell back into his chest as if he had taken a chill pill.
Tang Bai nodded his head vigorously and gave a soft hmmm. He gently grabbed the corner of Xie Ruhang's coat, and when he saw that Xie Ruhang didn't object, he clutched the corner of his coat as if it were a small sticky cake.
The second floor is also a place that sells all kinds of prohibited items, and also sells stolen goods of unknown origin. The third floor is like a large arsenal, Tang Bai recognized a lot of weapons only equipped by the Ministry of the Army, in addition to this place there are also a lot of parts as well as precious energy stones, and it seems to be even more complete than the weapons institute's material storehouse.
"The weapons here aren't the best, the better goods will be placed on the third and fourth floors for auction." Xie Ruhang lowered his voice, "But it's usually enough to come here to replenish your ammo."
On the second floor, there are people coming and going, all of them are tall and fierce, so Tang Bai, an omega, should be cowering here, but in fact, Tang Bai's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, just like entering a jewelry store, looking around.
Here are the core parts for making the Backdraft Light Blade! Geez isn't this blood red ore the material for the hilt of the Sunlight Axe? Oh this energy stone sells for several times more than the market price, no wonder someone wants to be a second hand dealer ......
"You can basically buy all kinds of weapons you want here, it's just a pity that the latest batch developed by the Weapons Research Institute can't be bought with money." Xie Ruhang said softly.
Looking around, Tang Bai looked back and thought that Xie Ruhang's tone sounded familiar, wasn't it the same tone of regret he had when he was a kid and wanted to buy a full set of mech models, but couldn't even save up his pocket money to do so?
His amber eyes once again showing a motherly compassion, Tang Bai asked softly, "Do you want the 'Commander' series?"
Xie Ruhang : "......?"
Xie Ruhang: "Of course."
The third floor of the fourth floor to wait for the opening of the auction to go in, Xie Ruhang Tang Bai shopping through the first two floors, look at the sky is not early to take away from here, and so on the hover car, Xie Ruhang Tang Bai see shyly rolled up the hem of the shirt, revealing a section of the snow-white and slender waist, Xie Ruhang whispered: "Come here, I'll show you a treasure! You see a baby."
Xie Ruhang's pupils dilated violently.
Tang Bai and Xie Ruhang looked at each other for a moment before their amber eyes got a little brighter, and their smiling gazes were generous and open, pure to the point of being unadulterated with desire, even if they revealed their supple and slender waists, still like clueless teenagers.
Xie Ruhang's eyes darkened.
Tang Bai shyly removed the diamond-encrusted energy gun from his waist and handed it to Xie Ruhang, whose face was flushed with a sickly red color, and thought happily, "Our omega light is so excited to see the Commander's series of energy guns that his face is red with joy...".
Though he loved the energy gun, he could reap double the pleasure by giving something he loved to someone he loved.
"...... It's an energy gun from the Commander series." Xie Ruhang didn't know which way he should be shocked for a moment, "How did you get this gun?"
"My grandfather is the head of the Weapons Research Institute." Tang Bai held the energy gun in front of Xie Ruhang like a treasure, "It's for you, this gun will only be as powerful as it is in your hands."
The great temptation was in front of him, and as soon as he reached out, the priceless energy gun was his.
The fingertips moved slightly.
Is this the way the Don's express their favorites?
Xie Ruhang knew Tang Lao, the head of the Weapons Research Institute, had sent for him some time ago, supposedly looking for talented alphas to be beta testers, not for the Commander series, but for a new series that hadn't yet been released to the public.
It turns out Tang Bai is Tang Lao's grandson, no wonder Tang Bai knows about him, maybe Tang Bai saw him on Tang Lao's tester waiting list and became interested in him?
Tang Lao gave one of the Commander's weapons to his grandson, and Tang Bai gave it to him without blinking an eye. ......
Xie Ruhang was laughing inwardly.
"It's too expensive." Xie Ruhang pointed to the dessert bag, "These will suffice as payment."
His volume wasn't high, but it was strong in a way that couldn't be denied.
Tang Bai's nerdy hairs arched up, instantly catching Xie Ruhang's mood, he carefully asked, "Then ...... Then you haven't had dinner yet, why don't I come and make it for you?"
The overly blunt currying of favor caused the phoenix eyes to flush with helplessness.
This kind of scene is incredibly similar to the plot of "rich family little omega fall in love with me", listening to the name of the text, you can guess the vicious plot, and the reason why Xie Ruhang knew about this novel is that he learned at noon that Tang Bai is going to write a text, he specially went to the Internet to search.
And then got so thunderstruck that I didn't last more than three chapters before quitting.
Xie Ruhang While reading the text I was thinking that if he was that poor boy alpha, he would never let omega break up with his family for him, it would be a loss.
If the other's family is against it, he climbs to a high position, and when he is strong enough, he marries the other in style.
Such a delicate omega deserves to be held in the palm of one's hand and patiently cared for.
He likes, originally Tang Bai pampered, bright and dazzling posture.
"My treat." Xie Ruhang said, "What do you like to eat?"
Tang Bai : "...... Eh?!"
Mom, I've made a name for myself! The omega light has offered to buy me dinner! Round it up and we're friends for life!
Tang Bai was all flattered, and at this time, there was a communication from the light brain, Tang Bai hung up without hesitation and said sweetly to Xie Ruhang: "I'm not picky! I'll eat anything!"
No, no, no, this kind of anything can answer is the most difficult to do, Tang Bai is trying to change his mind, the light brain communication sound came again, Tang Bai afraid that the other side will persevere in playing, so I had to look down to see, and found that it was actually a call from the leadership of the school.
"Xiao Tang ah, it's already seven o'clock, haven't you finished your date with your family alpha?"
Xie Ruhang : "......?"
Xie Ruhang looked strangely at Tang Bai's red face as he spoke to the school director.
After hanging up the communication, Tang Bai spoke with difficulty, "Our school's lockout time is coming up, why don't we meet again next time." Dammit dammit dammit, Xie Ruhang is not to hear my leave of absence in the name of and Gu Tunan that stupid batch of dating ah ah ah ah ah!
Tang Bai's inner villain madly bit the handkerchief, he gritted his teeth and timidly raised his eyes to Xie Ruhang, after meeting Xie Ruhang's teasing gaze, Tang Bai's little face turned red, and he lowered his head even lower, so embarrassed that he hated to find a hole in the ground to drill into.
Xie Ruhang: Oh, shy.
The corners of Xie Ruhang's lips curled up, and he happily drove Tang Bai back to school in the name of his domesticated alpha.
On the other hand, the other side, afraid that something will happen to the lone A widows O Director Huang think about it or do not rest assured, so called Gu Tunan's communication, "...... What? You said Xiao Tang isn't with you?!"
"How is this possible? Xiao Tang just told me that you'd walk him to school!"
Gu Tunan hangs up the communication with a frown on his face and quickly puts on his jacket to rush to Tang Bai's school, while at the same time, Xie Ruhang's hovercar is about to pull up in front of the school.
Director Huang was pacing in front of the school while pondering what the hell was going on when he looked up and saw Gu Tunan arriving.
He was about to wave when the lights of the hovercar dispelled the darkness and a handsome alpha stepped out of the car, pulling the door open for Tang Bai in a gentlemanly manner.
Xie Ruhang's presence is so strong that whenever he makes a sound, all eyes unconsciously focus on him.
Gu Tunan stood in the night, his gray-blue eyes covered with a layer of frost, looking coldly at Xie Ruhang.
Xie Ruhang, on the other hand, only looked at Tang Bai, his phoenix eyes were deep, his tear moles were sentimental, and his line of sight was extremely penetrating.
Director Huang looked left and right, his heart constantly staggered, suspecting that he had poked a big basket for the outstanding students.
Why didn't you tell the teacher in advance? It's not like the teacher won't cover for you!
