Major General Alpha (1): Just don’t let him fall in love with Zhou Qinghao.
Small World Administration Bureau.
Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao, these two main gods, had entered the small world for a long time, and there had never been a case of them fighting so fiercely that the small world was destroyed. The many staff members of the Small World Administration Bureau finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Zhou Qinghao woke up.
The memories of the past five small worlds all appeared in his mind. Zhou Qinghao blinked expressionlessly.
Then, without hesitation, he re-entered the small world.
His plan had already been perfectly achieved. Very good.
He knew that after he entered the small world, Gu Juntian, who pestered him all day, would definitely follow him in.
He also knew that Gu Juntian was someone who pitied the weak and had a sense of responsibility. After binding himself to Gu Juntian in a couple relationship, and with his pitiful background and tragic fate, Gu Juntian would definitely give him a hand and protect him.
However, he hadn’t expected his relationship with Gu Juntian to progress so smoothly.
He knew that Gu Juntian didn’t dislike him; challenging him to fights was purely to spar. But he thought Gu Juntian had no other intentions toward him.
He had been prepared to be brothers with Gu Juntian in the first five small worlds.
Unexpectedly, in the first world, Gu Juntian got together with him, and after five worlds, they had already become like an old married couple.
Now, with a new world about to begin, he was very much looking forward to it.
“Zhou Qinghao? He’s just a dog by my side.”
“If it weren’t for needing him to help me earn military merit, I wouldn’t bother with him.”
“When I become emperor, I’ll definitely exile him to the trash star, that perverted homosexual!”
In the video, a handsome Alpha looked disgusted as he spoke to someone next to him. The video froze at the end on his handsome face.
Zhou Qinghao stared at that face for a long time, then pressed replay.
The video played again, and the handsome Alpha once more uttered those hurtful words.
Zhou Qinghao didn’t know how many times he had watched it over and over.
It wasn’t until a knock came from the door that he came back to his senses. As he deleted the video, he said, “Open the door.”
The door opened automatically, and Zhou Qinghao’s adjutant walked in, looking anxious. “Major General, those Zergs have started gathering again!”
Zhou Qinghao said, “Prepare for battle!”
After speaking, he strode out.
Zergs were a loathsome race in the universe.
They looked like insects, reproduced extremely quickly, and devoured every living creature and energy source in their path.
The Zerg queen, protected by the swarm, would constantly search for resource-rich planets with energy. Once found, she would consume the planet’s energy and lay a massive number of eggs.
After hatching, the young would protect the queen and help her expand territory.
Over a hundred years ago, Zergs appeared at the borders of the Human Empire, and from then on, the empire and the Zergs began a prolonged war.
If the Zergs entered the Human Empire, every human in the empire would become their food.
For a hundred years, the empire’s soldiers had stood their ground, but the Zergs reproduced far too quickly, and as long as the queen was alive, they would appear endlessly. The empire had never been able to drive them out and had even lost several resource planets that originally belonged to it.
Now, a new battle was about to begin.
…
Gu Juntian woke to the sound of an urgent bell.
Upon waking, he instinctively answered the call and saw a man in military uniform salute him. “Lieutenant General Gu, the front line is in crisis. Major General Zhou requests reinforcements!”
Gu Juntian didn’t have his previous memories and didn’t quite understand the situation, but he instinctively said, “Send me the battle report and prepare to provide support!”
The moment he said that, the original owner’s memories flooded into his mind.
Along with them came the original owner’s future.
And after Gu Juntian understood the original owner’s situation, he couldn’t help but curse him as a scumbag.
The body Gu Juntian had transmigrated into belonged to someone far from ordinary: the eldest prince of the Human Empire, a powerful S-level Alpha.
In this world, there were three genders: the strong Alpha, the average Beta who made up the majority of the population, and the Omega, responsible for reproduction.
This world still had men and women, but people recognized ABO genders more.
In the eyes of this world’s people, Alphas were destined to be with Omegas. Alpha–Alpha or Omega–Omega pairings were considered utterly unacceptable.
Why emphasize this? Because the original owner, an Alpha, secretly had a boyfriend—who was also an Alpha.
After humans in this world evolved into the three ABO genders, they also awakened mental power. Alphas with strong mental power had formidable combat abilities and were natural leaders.
In the past, when humanity was facing life-and-death peril, a powerful S-level Alpha emerged, repelling the invasions of other civilizations and ultimately establishing the Human Empire.
That Alpha became the first emperor of the Human Empire.
Now, in the interstellar age, the royal family was more symbolic than truly powerful, but it still possessed immense wealth.
The royal family of the Human Empire owned dozens of planets and countless industries, making it the richest family in the empire.
The citizens of the empire greatly loved and admired the royal family.
All of this made the throne highly coveted.
As the emperor’s firstborn son and an S-level Alpha, the original owner should have been the undisputed crown prince and rightful heir.
However, his mother died early, and his father remarried another Omega, who gave birth to a second prince—also an S-level Alpha.
The emperor never loved the original owner’s mother; the current empress was his true love, and he had no affection for the original owner.
The original owner was raised in his maternal grandparents’ home, and if not for his grandfather’s protection, he might not have even survived to adulthood.
But even after growing up, winning the throne was still extremely difficult for him.
The second prince had been attending royal events with the emperor and empress since childhood, and everyone knew him. As for the original owner, the public only knew the royal family had an eldest prince, but knew nothing about him.
This was unacceptable to the original owner, who was determined to become emperor.
After setting this goal as a teenager, he even mapped out a suitable path for himself.
Since the Human Empire had been fighting the Zergs for so long, the public held soldiers in high regard.
If he could go to the battlefield and earn military merit, the second prince would no longer be a threat.
By then, both the public and the military would support him ascending the throne.
However, achieving military merit was not that easy.
The original owner had always been proud of his level, thinking that as an S-level Alpha, he should be the brightest star.
But reality proved otherwise.
After the original owner entered the military academy, he discovered that the people around him were all extremely strong.
At that time, among the few S-level Alphas who entered the academy with him, all of them, in terms of combat ability, were stronger than him. Zhou Qinghao, who came from a civilian background, completely crushed the other S-level Alphas, including him.
The school even suspected that Zhou Qinghao wasn’t just S-level but SS-level.
However, before Zhou Qinghao, there had never been an SS-level, and the empire had no such classification for now, so Zhou Qinghao could only be officially placed at S-level.
Even so, Zhou Qinghao’s potential was obvious to everyone!
Not only was Zhou Qinghao powerful, but he also had great talent in commanding battles.
Coming from a civilian background, he had learned very little before, but after entering the academy, his progress became incredibly fast.
The original owner was very jealous of him but also realized that Zhou Qinghao was a treasure.
To achieve his goal, the original owner began to approach and win over Zhou Qinghao.
He taught Zhou Qinghao how to pilot mechas, shared his study materials and supplies with him, and treated him to meals…
The two quickly became good friends.
Around that time, Zhou Qinghao became increasingly brilliant and attracted more and more attention.
The original owner discovered that the empress and the faction of the second prince were trying to get close to Zhou Qinghao.
Afraid that Zhou Qinghao would be recruited by the second prince, the original owner treated him even better.
Then he realized that Zhou Qinghao had developed a different kind of feeling toward him.
Alphas were supposed to be with Omegas, but Zhou Qinghao had fallen for him, an Alpha!
Zhou Qinghao liked him!
Being liked by someone of the same gender disgusted the original owner, but he also realized something—if he used Zhou Qinghao’s feelings for him, he could gain a lot of benefits.
The original owner started to flirt ambiguously with Zhou Qinghao and unabashedly asked him to do certain things, including but not limited to going easy on him in exams and helping him during combat drills.
They got together in their second year. After that, Zhou Qinghao remained outstanding, but in military command, he would lose to the original owner.
The original owner relied on Zhou Qinghao’s concessions to graduate from the academy with excellent grades.
After graduation, the original owner and Zhou Qinghao both joined the First Legion and went to the front lines.
The original owner’s grandfather was the marshal of the First Legion, in control of it, and could give him many advantages.
At the original owner’s request, he and Zhou Qinghao were assigned together. They fought side by side and achieved many victories.
In battle, Zhou Qinghao always charged at the front, while the original owner commanded from the rear.
And when they won, the original owner, as the commander, always received more military merit than Zhou Qinghao.
Now, the original owner had already become a lieutenant general, while Zhou Qinghao was only a major general.
But in reality, the original owner had done almost nothing.
Those battles might have seemed to be commanded by him, but the key decisions that led to victory were all made by Zhou Qinghao.
The original owner was also afraid of death and never dared to go to the front lines. Zhou Qinghao was different—he was always fighting at the front.
So in truth, the lieutenant general rank the original owner held was entirely thanks to Zhou Qinghao.
Yet instead of being grateful, he deeply resented Zhou Qinghao.
The original owner didn’t like Alphas; he had an Omega he liked.
Because he needed Zhou Qinghao to help him earn military merit, he couldn’t be with the Omega he liked, and on top of that, he had to flirt with Zhou Qinghao… how could that not make him miserable?
Every time he was with Zhou Qinghao, he felt disgusted.
Moreover, Zhou Qinghao’s outstanding ability made him look worthless by comparison, which enraged him, making him wish he could kill Zhou Qinghao.
The original owner planned to find a way to kill Zhou Qinghao after becoming emperor.
Like the saying “once the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked,” his plan was cold-blooded and ruthless. Fortunately, he never became emperor.
Even so, Zhou Qinghao still ended up dead.
The Omega the original owner liked didn’t like him at all but was deeply in love with the second prince. His contact with the original owner was only to help the second prince bring him down.
This Omega invited the original owner out, then schemed to lure him into a swarm of Zergs, intending to have him killed.
Zhou Qinghao learned of this and rushed into the swarm to save him. In the end, he encountered a group of high-level Zergs, was besieged, and died.
Because of Zhou Qinghao’s protection, the original owner escaped the swarm alive, but he was seriously injured. Not only did he lose his mental power, but his face was also disfigured.
In this state, the original owner could no longer inherit the throne, but the second prince still refused to let him go. He took all the items that proved the original owner’s identity and connections and threw him onto a trash planet.
There, with nothing to his name, the original owner suffered constant bullying, couldn’t even get enough to eat, and ultimately couldn’t bear it, choosing to end his life.
After reviewing the original owner’s memories, Gu Juntian felt he deserved his fate.
As an S-level Alpha, if he had trained properly, his strength wouldn’t have been bad, but he was all ambition without effort, always lazy, unwilling to train, and thus unable to reach his potential.
His thoughts were even more malicious.
It was normal for him not to like Zhou Qinghao—Alphas in this world were generally repelled by other Alphas—but he shouldn’t have flirted with Zhou Qinghao while disliking him, nor stolen his military merit!
Zhou Qinghao had done nothing wrong!
Although Zhou Qinghao truly liked the original owner, he had never harmed him or forced him to be together.
Gu Juntian felt the original owner had been on the wrong path from the very start.
Fortunately, there was still time to fix things.
Right now, Zhou Qinghao wasn’t dead, and the original owner wasn’t injured. As long as he was careful and didn’t fall into the second prince’s trap, he wouldn’t meet a tragic end.
As for the matter between the original owner and Zhou Qinghao… Gu Juntian planned to break up with Zhou Qinghao as soon as they met.
He had no interest in romance.
He especially despised the original owner’s way of relying on others to climb upward.
A real man should rely on himself!
From now on, he would train hard, fight more battles, kill more Zergs, and succeed on his own ability!
As for Zhou Qinghao, he would repay him.
In the future, he would return all the military merit that belonged to Zhou Qinghao.
Although he wasn’t emperor now, as the eldest prince, he had already been allocated some industries, which he could also give to Zhou Qinghao.
As long as he didn’t have to be romantically involved with Zhou Qinghao, that was fine.
He only wanted to kill Zergs!
With that thought, Gu Juntian began mobilizing his fleet to go support Zhou Qinghao at the front lines.
With the original owner’s memories and knowledge of the future, he already knew exactly what time it was.
In the original storyline, today, when Zhou Qinghao went to fight the Zergs, a large number of high-level Zergs suddenly appeared, surrounding Zhou Qinghao and his troops.
He had requested reinforcements from the original owner, but the original owner ignored him.
No, it wasn’t that he ignored him—he deliberately delayed, wanting to see Zhou Qinghao suffer, so he didn’t send support.
In the end, Zhou Qinghao led his men in breaking out of the encirclement and won, but he was badly injured, and many of his soldiers died.
For a time, Zhou Qinghao was visibly depressed and grieving, but the original owner didn’t care, instead forcing him to keep fighting to earn more military merit for him…
Zhou Qinghao’s taste in people was truly terrible, to have fallen for someone like the original owner!
Gu Juntian thought about many things, but his actions were swift—he led his troops straight toward the battlefield.
He didn’t know who he had been before, but he felt certain he had been a warrior.
He couldn’t wait to get on the battlefield and kill enemies.
But now, as a commander, Gu Juntian could only quickly start arranging battle plans.
