After the Cannon Fodder Awakens, They Marry the Heroine! - Chapter 11

Considering the need for a live broadcast, the ten people did not have much time to rest on the spaceship. After about two hours, the ten individuals were transported to a new location.

This time, their spatial buckles still contained tents, but the accompanying supplies were no longer just sleeping bags and basic items. Instead, there was an abundance of food, various decorations, and some entertainment equipment.

The ten individuals were dropped at the foot of a mountain. The first task was simple: they only needed to climb the mountain and then set up their tents at the summit.

“Suddenly having so many supplies, I feel a little unreal,” Yu Sisi said. She rummaged through her spatial buckle and found two sun-blocking hats, putting them on Miao Miao and herself, in turn.

“It’s probably a side effect,” Le Yue also consciously found a hat, but instead of putting it on herself, she handed it directly to Gao He.

Gao He had already transitioned from being compelled to genuinely enjoying the situation. He carefully placed the hat on Le Yue’s head and even tidied the stray strands of hair by her ear. Only after confirming that Le Yue was still “beautiful” did he put the remaining hat on his own head.

Hmph, it seemed Gao Huai could report success after all; at least two couples out of the ten people had genuinely gotten together.

Of course, the dynamic between Le Yue and Gao He was vastly different from the “traditional” Alpha-Omega relationship model that the higher-ups were hoping for.

The main heavy-lifting still had to be done by Yu Sisi and Miao Miao. If corresponding clips of them were edited and heavily promoted, it could certainly lead many Omegas to believe they could have an Alpha as excellent and considerate as Yu Sisi, and then they would eagerly dive into the “tomb of marriage.”

On the spaceship, the ten people were only allowed to rest and did not get their personal optical computers back, so Gu Yue had no idea that his persona had completely collapsed.

On the way up the mountain, he was still forcing his character, stopping almost every ten minutes to ask Fu Xing if he was tired, if he needed a rest, or some water, looking exactly like a loving Alpha doting on his Omega companion.

Fu Xing wasn’t actually that weak, but he was accustomed to cooperating with Gu Yue. So, each time, he would gently reply, telling the other party that he could still hold on.

Of course, to save face for a certain person, on the third time Gu Yue asked, he would nod, and they would stop together to rest and drink some water to replenish lost fluids.

The audience wasn’t stupid. Even if they didn’t know Gu Yue’s true face, they had common sense. Viewers watching the live broadcast knew clearly that Tang Song had the weakest physical constitution among the ten.

Yet now, Tang Song had been climbing non-stop for over an hour, panting slightly. How could Fu Xing, who had a better physique than Tang Song, be so weak that he needed to rest for five or six minutes every half hour?

Before,I had as light shred of hope,but no wit′s completely gone.GuYue′s so−called concern and love for FuXing are fake;they are all acted out.

Now GuYue is almost universally hated,right? Only he himself is still so confident.

LOL,I′m kind of looking forward to GuYue′s reaction after the showends.Will he completely breakdown on the spot?

Amidst the netizens’ mockery, the ten people successively reached the mountain top. According to the requirement of two people per tent, five tents were quickly set up.

“The second task is here,” Li Mo quickly caught the card thrown down by the production team and read out the contents: “Please confess your love to the person you like under the starry night.”

“The confession time must be no less than three minutes and no more than ten minutes. After the confession ends, there will be three minutes for audience voting. The two people with the highest votes will receive the privilege of lifelong free entry and accommodation.”

“A confession? Is this a mandatory task?” Wen Runan slightly frowned, thinking of a good reason to decline: “President Li, you should know that I will only confess to the person I truly love.”

“Hmm, it shouldn’t be mandatory, right?” Li Mo pondered. Wen Runan and Zuo Yilin both had reasons to avoid a confession, so what about herself? Should she perform a live divorce?

“Li Mo, then let’s give up this opportunity. Anyway, we can consume here for free,” when it was time to use her brain, Tang Song was quick to react.

Acting was acting; she certainly didn’t want to confess to Li Mo or accept his confession in front of Lin Lin.

Li Mo raised an eyebrow, about to agree readily, when a long-absent voice sounded in her mind.

“Master, I’m back! I’ve completed the upgrade! I am now the highest-level system besides the Main System,” 033’s joyful voice echoed in Li Mo’s mind.

Li Mo paused, her action of nodding slowing down a beat. She quickly started communicating with 033: “How did you come out? Won’t the World Consciousness detect you?”

“Don’t worry, Master, I’ve upgraded! Unless I proactively expose myself, the World Consciousness won’t be able to find me,” 033’s tone was very proud. “Master, do you need to use the mall now? You still have a lot of surplus Luck Value. Also, many items have been automatically added to the mall! And my ability to gather information has become stronger…”

The Mall? Li Mo subtly raised an eyebrow. While receiving the information transmitted by 033, she quickly skimmed through the items in the mall. Her eyes lit up upon seeing the description of a certain item, and a very bold plan began to take shape.

“Tang Song and I will give up the prize that can be won by voting, but the confession clip can still be edited and released. However, regardless of the number of votes, they will be treated as zero,” after exchanging for the needed item, the smile on Li Mo’s face became more pronounced.

Tang Song was stunned when she heard this. What do you mean the confession clip can be edited and released? Is Li Mo going to confess to me? No, please don’t! I want to be close to Lin Lin!

Wen Runan also looked towards Li Mo, only to be met by her gaze full of possessiveness, causing him to momentarily lose focus.

Hmm? That look isn’t right. Didn’t we agree to let Gu Yue be the scapegoat? Could Li Mo have temporarily changed her mind and decided to go for it herself?

Thinking of Li Mo’s true nature, Wen Runan felt a little anxious. He wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Li Mo.

However, there were too many cameras nearby. Unable to find an opportunity, Wen Runan could only settle for a second-best option, trying to communicate with Li Mo using subtle glances.

The unspoken understanding between Li Mo and Wen Runan was undeniable. After a few seemingly ordinary eye contacts, she naturally understood Wen Runan’s meaning.

But understanding was one thing; she didn’t need to worry about so many things now. Compared to making a fool of Gu Yue to push certain matters forward, a public confession facing the entire Alliance would have a greater impact.

After the task was announced, everyone got busy. Gu Yue, especially, didn’t stop moving his hands; he probably wanted to use this confession opportunity to re-solidify his persona as a loving companion.

After not getting the answer he wanted, Wen Runan had to try hard to create an opportunity. He fabricated a reason about discussing confidential matters, avoided the cameras, and pulled Li Mo aside, much to the puzzled glances of the others.

“Are you planning to confess? To whom are you going to confess? Didn’t we agree to let Gu Yue be the scapegoat?” Wen Runan asked all the questions in his mind in one breath.

“Of course, like you, I’m confessing to the person I like,” Li Mo said with a smile. She didn’t hide anything from Wen Runan and quickly told him about 033’s upgrade completion.

“It’s already the highest-level system, huh…” Wen Runan fell into contemplation, frowning slightly as he said, “Although 033 can shield the World Consciousness, if your actions are too outrageous, those high-level officials will likely hold you accountable.”

Wen Runan’s tone was somewhat serious: “Although our business has expanded, in terms of influence, it’s still not enough. If the top really wants to blacklist us, it’s just a matter of one sentence.”

Li Mo remained calm and composed: “Are you forgetting one thing?”

“Hm? What thing?” Wen Runan didn’t immediately catch on.

“Tang Song has not yet become famous, and the Male Lead’s and Female Lead’s Luck Value is all on you. You are a complete world favorite, and the World Consciousness definitely favors you,” Li Mo reminded him.

Li Mo slightly tilted her head, a little confused: “I certainly know this, but if we escalate the matter, it will implicate many people. I might not suffer any punishment, but Tang Song, Zuo Yilin, and the other Omegas will definitely be targeted.”

Li Mo smiled without speaking, directly taking out the item she had exchanged for in the mall and handing it to Wen Runan.

“You should know about this item. As long as we let it perform its intended function, everything will be fine,” Li Mo said.

Wen Runan habitually touched the item first. After finding it smooth and cold to the touch, he lowered his head to examine the so-called item.

What is this? Wen Runan’s eyes widened suddenly. He brought the item closer to his eyes, starting a close examination.

“Is this a Hypnosis Pocket Watch?” Wen Runan frowned, looking confused, “This item should be a special item from the lottery pool. It shouldn’t appear in the regular mall, should it?”

“I’m not sure about that, either. Perhaps 033 broke free from the Main System’s control and became different from other systems,” Li Mo’s mouth curved upwards, saying, “How is it? With this, won’t our plan be easily successful?”

Thinking of the function of the Hypnosis Pocket Watch, Wen Runan followed Li Mo’s train of thought and said, “You wouldn’t be thinking of directly confessing to me and then publicly opposing the gene-matching system, would you?”

Li Mo nodded: “That is the first step in my plan.”

“After causing a stir, you’ll have Gao Huai introduce you to meet those few people. Under the pretense of offering an apology, you’ll hypnotize them and then have them start causing trouble?” Wen Runan’s expression became somewhat complex as he spoke.

How should I put it? This method was not impossible, but it was too radical.

If people in the relevant departments, while under hypnosis, started advocating for Alpha-Omega equality and abolishing the rule that a gene match of over ninety percent required marriage, it would definitely shock the entire Alliance and provoke extensive public discussion.

But this was too hasty. After causing such a commotion, those people would surely be dismissed and investigated by the higher-ups, and new people would take their positions.

“If that’s the case, you might need to continuously hypnotize those people for several years in the future, and if you do it too many times, you will definitely be found out,” Wen Runan felt this method was too simple and crude, and the subsequent maintenance cost would be extremely high.

“What you just said was the second step. There is a very important third step,” Li Mo said with a smiling face. “Guess again, what kind of event could change the current situation for Omegas?”

“In the eyes of those people, the Omega’s greatest use is to reproduce and continue their genes…” Halfway through his sentence, Wen Runan’s eyes lit up, “Is it the artificial uterus technology? Have you developed this technology?”

Li Mo shook her head, “Artificial uterus technology will not be developed, otherwise the Alliance wouldn’t have met its demise in the end.”

Wen Runan casually said, “Then what is it? Don’t tell me it’s technology that allows Alphas to also get pregnant?”

“Yes, that is exactly the technology,” Li Mo nodded in confirmation. “Just now, 033 captured some information through the World Consciousness. In fact, the technology to allow Alphas to bear children was discovered more than ten years ago.”

“It was only suppressed because the people in power at the time were all Alphas. That research was shelved, and the researchers were secretly contained. Many are still serving time in prison,” Li Mo explained.

“So, all we have to do is find the technology and make it public!” Wen Runan quickly formulated a plan. Compared to Omegas, the largest number of Betas also didn’t have a very good opinion of Alphas.

If they could control public opinion well, it would be easy to get the most numerous Betas to stand up and pressure those high-ranking Alphas, forcing them to promote the technology that allows Alphas to bear children.

In this way, the abolition of the rule that required marriage for a gene-match exceeding ninety percent would naturally follow.

“How about it? Are you willing to accept my confession under the witness of the entire Alliance?” Li Mo’s smile was even more radiant. She knew that Wen Runan understood her and would definitely support her.

“Theoretically, it’s not infeasible, but the process is a bit too crude, and it’s different from our initial plan,” Wen Runan hesitated for a while, but ultimately couldn’t voice his objection.

“Actually, we don’t need to hypnotize those people. If I had a chance to meet the highest decision-makers, I might be able to solve it once and for all,” Li Mo’s boldness was a little greater than Wen Runan had imagined.

“…” Wen Runan was momentarily speechless. “Let’s stop there. Unless you’re some kind of peerless genius, it’s impossible to meet the highest decision-makers.”

“Is that so? That’s truly a pity,” Li Mo said with a look of regret.

After discussing for over half an hour, they emerged from the corner away from the cameras and resumed their tasks.

“Runan, what were you discussing with Li Mo? Is she really going to confess? There’s no need… right?” Seeing Wen Runan come out, Tang Song quickly walked over and asked in a hushed voice.

“Actually, a confession is quite nice,” Wen Runan said, showing a mysterious smile, and patted Tang Song’s shoulder: “We can’t change Li Mo’s decision, so we can only prepare ourselves mentally beforehand.”

“Ah?” Tang Song was completely confused. What is all this? The person Li Mo likes is you! Why are you smiling so happily if she’s going to confess to me!

Wait, Runan is smiling happily?

Tang Song took a deep breath, and a bold guess formed in her mind, “So, you’ve already prepared yourself mentally? Didn’t we say we’d take it slow?”

Wen Runan first nodded, then shook his head, answering: “If we take it slow, changing the status quo might require ten years of effort. But if we go a little crazy, changing the status quo only requires one year. How do you choose?”

Tang Song began to struggle. Nine years is a lot of time; so many things could change. Was Li Mo worried that the status of Omegas would continue to be suppressed in the future, which is why she was so eager to act?

“You also need to remember to prepare yourself mentally. After the confession is over, many people will surely come to ask you questions,” Wen Runan didn’t say any more, just smiled and patted Tang Song’s shoulder.

Ask me questions? What kind of questions?

Tang Song blinked. It took her over ten seconds to react, and she began to frantically scream and shout in her mind.

Oh my god, am I going to become the most miserable Omega of the year in the eyes of the netizens?

After all, in the eyes of those unaware people, she would be completely the victim. Her partner not only betrayed her, but the object of the betrayal was her very best friend!

This kind of chaotic relationship and outcome—even a novel wouldn’t dare to be so absurd!

After successively experiencing shock, fear, curiosity, and gradually accepting the situation, Tang Song quickly recovered and wholeheartedly admired Li Mo’s courage.

If it were her, she definitely wouldn’t dare to confess publicly on a live-broadcasted show like this, and confess to someone who was also an Omega.

Holding a thread of curiosity, Tang Song’s gaze couldn’t help but follow Li Mo, watching her busy herself here and there, just like a diligent little bee.

During her observation, Tang Song also noticed that Li Mo’s entire aura had changed. She was no longer the core figure leading the entire scene but acted in a more free and relaxed manner.

Was this the difference between being forced to work and actively working? Tang Song fell into a brief contemplation.

Li Mo was planning to confess to Wen Runan, so if she didn’t make any move, would Lin Lin be unhappy?

“What are you thinking about, so absorbed?” As someone who also didn’t need to arrange the scene, Zuo Yilin was also idle. Seeing Tang Song staring at Li Mo without blinking, she began to feel uneasy.

“Tang Tang, are you looking forward to something?” Zuo Yilin asked, a little sourness starting in her heart.

If only I were an Alpha, she thought. She could completely abandon her so-called image and directly try to win over someone who was already “taken.”

Unfortunately, she was an Omega. If she impulsively confessed to Tang Song, it would inevitably affect her image, and might even indirectly cause her to be unable to film movies.

“I just feel that perhaps I can also be a little bolder?” Tang Song’s inner resolve began to loosen. Compared to being pitied by netizens, being scolded by them might be better; at least she would have done what she wanted to do.

Zuo Yilin was startled, and in a certain moment, she understood Tang Song’s thought, asking: “Are you very much looking forward to it?”

“But we might not be able to bear the consequences,” Tang Song did not deny the anticipation, but after weighing the pros and cons, she understood in her heart that doing nothing was the most beneficial for them.

Zuo Yilin pursed her lips, once again feeling her powerlessness. If she could make her company stronger and bigger, her current concerns would be much smaller.

Just as Tang Song and Zuo Yilin were lamenting the loss of a good opportunity, Gu Yue, who was the fastest, had already set up his desired scene. He directly held a bouquet of flowers and began a heartfelt confession to Fu Xing.

It must be said that Gu Yue’s professional dedication was genuinely good. He perfectly portrayed the image of an Alpha deeply in love with his companion, and in reminiscing about the past, he successfully brought tears to Fu Xing’s eyes.

“I promise you that I will use my body and everything I have to protect you, making you the happiest Omega in the world,” Gu Yue was immersed in his role, and his tone of voice was very sincere.

Fu Xing was moved by the sweet memories of the past, and the emotion in his eyes was genuine. He quickly covered his face and accepted Gu Yue’s confession.

Bang—Bang— Li Mo and Wen Runan gave them face by setting off party poppers, giving Gu Yue’s confession a perfect conclusion.

“I had originally wanted to be the first to confess, but now it seems there’s no chance,” Gao He had changed into a different outfit at some point. She wasn’t holding flowers in her hand but was clutching a diamond ring.

“I won’t say anything sweet. We’ve known each other since childhood and already understand each other very well, so I won’t dwell on the past,” Gao He said. Beneath her seemingly calm exterior, her heart was racing with nervousness.

“Le Yue, will you marry me?” Saying this, Gao He’s knees gave way, and she knelt down directly.

Seeing a certain person kneeling on both knees, Le Yue, who was initially a bit moved, was stunned for a moment. She reminded him, covering her forehead: “I haven’t passed away yet.”

“Sorry, first time proposing, a little nervous,” Gao He also realized her mistake, her old face flushing red. She quickly changed to a single-knee kneel.

“Looking back, I was actually quite foolish. Just because your spiritual power was stronger than mine, I secretly treated you as a rival, forcing myself to deny my feelings for you…” Gao He stammered slightly. The previous blunder had cost her most of her prepared speech, so she simply threw caution to the wind.

“I give myself to you. From now on, I will be one person’s Alpha,” Gao He said, holding up the diamond ring. “If you are willing to marry me, please extend your left hand!”

Le Yue couldn’t help but laugh out loud. At the same time, she offered her left hand: “Alright, alright, I know. Hurry up and put the ring on me.”

Seriously, she had told him that the proposal didn’t need any messy ceremony, but Gao He insisted on arranging something.

Bang—Bang— This time, there was an extra person setting off the party poppers: Yu Sisi also helped out.

“Um, I feel that the temporary setting is too rushed. I want to wait for a more suitable time to formally propose,” Yu Sisi said methodically. “So, we won’t participate in the voting.”

“Fine, then let the audience choose one pair between us,” Gu Yue interjected. He was already looking forward to the result.

His carefully prepared confession was definitely more meaningful than Gao He’s messy proposal.

“Wait, the confession segment isn’t over yet; no need to rush the voting,” Li Mo threw away the party popper in her hand and gave the camera a brilliant smile: “I’m still here.”
