The Reborn Honest Beta is a Fishing Beauty - Chapter 9 PT3

Chapter 9 PT3 – Lu Yu’s Online Crush

At the base.

Lu Yu looked at the 1,000 star coins that were transferred to him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Shen Miao should be the omega who came to Su Nuo’s room last time. He didn’t expect that he had someone he liked. At that time, he thought he liked Su Nuo.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu chuckled softly, then thought again, why was he chuckling? Who that omega liked had nothing to do with him.

So he restrained his expression, returned to his indifferent look, turned off the light brain, and looked up to find Jia Yu opposite him looking at him with a complicated and frustrated look.

“Boss, you’re not really in an online relationship, are you?”

Lu Yu: “…”

“Your expression changes several times a minute, sometimes you’re smirking, sometimes you’re sneering. What else could this be but an online romance? It can’t be schizophrenia, can it?”

Lu Yu: “…”

After a moment of silence, as if thinking of something, Jia Yu’s pupils suddenly trembled: “By the way, you…did you see a psychiatrist on Saturday?”

Lu Yu picked up the laser gun beside him with an expressionless face, and Jia Yu dodged quickly in fear.

“Don’t get excited, Boss. I was just joking with you… Of course I know you’re mentally healthy…”

While the two were making a fuss, the monitoring station sent a message.

“We’ve detected traces of some Sakru mutant two-headed worms near Comet Adair, but the dust and gas around the comet are so dense that the signal is affected. It’s currently difficult to determine the number of two-headed worms on the comet nucleus.”

Jia Yu suddenly stopped and looked up at Lu Yu.

Since the battle on the planet Sith, the two-headed worms have disappeared, and this is the first time that the monitoring station has detected their traces.

“Lu Yu…don’t be impulsive…”

Lu Yu didn’t say anything. He put on his combat equipment and turned around to order someone to bring a warship.

Jia Yu hurriedly blocked his way and said, “Didn’t you hear what the monitoring station said? The signal is affected. We are not sure how many two-headed worms there are in the comet nucleus.”

“Adar’s comet core is only three kilometers in diameter. Based on the size of the two-headed worms, there are only about ten of them hidden there at most.” Lu Yu’s eyes darkened. “Two long sulfur bombs can detonate Adar. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Seeing his expression, Jia Yu knew that he couldn’t persuade him, so he turned and asked, “Should we inform your brother about this?”

“No need.” Lu Yu glanced at him, “You are not allowed to secretly send him a message!”

“Ah… Boss, are you really leaving just like that?”

Jia Yu looked at Lu Yu’s back without looking back, and fell into a dilemma. In the end, he gritted his teeth and chased after him.

“What are you following me for?”

“You haven’t told me who your online crush is.”

“…”

“For the sake of our shared life and death as brothers, you…ah…”

Before he could finish the rest of his sentence, the warship suddenly flew vertically upwards. Jia Yu fell to the ground with a thud and swallowed back the words he had not yet finished.

Before going to sleep, Su Nuo turned on his light brain, but Lu Yu did not reply to him.

Counting the time, more than five hours have passed. Normally, there is not such a long interval.

But he didn’t think much about it until the next day, when he saw a report on StarNet saying that the signal of the battleship driven by Lu Yu last night disappeared near Comet Adar.

Just as Adar was being infested with two-headed worms, a satellite soon captured the fragmented remains of a warship near Adar, prompting media speculation that Lu Yu had encountered a two-headed worm and might even have met with misfortune.

People were talking about it.

【Isn’t Lu Yu currently suspended for investigation? How can he still be operating a military warship?】

【Nothing can be done about it. The Eastern Theater Command belongs to the Lu brothers, so of course they can do whatever they want.】

【This is too outrageous! 】

•|•

Su Nuo closed the webpage and sent a message to Lu Yu.

【S: Are you okay? I saw online news that you went to the planet Adar.】

This message was sent, but still no reply.

Looking at the fragments of the warship taken by the satellite, his anxiety grew. He knew that Lu Yu had not met with an accident on the planet Adar in his previous life, but he was still afraid and didn’t want to wait a moment, so he called Lu Yu directly.

The beeping continued mechanically until the end, but the call still didn’t connect. Just when he was about to give up, the beeping suddenly stopped and a low cough came from the receiver.

Su Nuo’s heart suddenly stopped and he didn’t say anything.

It was Lu Yu who spoke first: “What’s wrong?” His tone was so calm as if the storm didn’t exist.

“You’re on Comet Adar?”

“Um.”

“Are you okay?”

“Fine.”

The noisy and chaotic sounds around didn’t seem to be a problem. Su Nuo was about to ask something when Lu Yu’s voice rang out first.

“Ever heard the sound of a comet exploding?”

“No……”

“Then listen carefully.”

The next moment, a loud explosion suddenly sounded in his ears. The sound rushed into his eardrum through the megaphone, making Su Nuo’s heart tremble.

Even though they were tens of millions of light years apart, the aftermath of the explosion seemed to resonate throughout his body, the image before him rippled by turbulent air currents and flames. In this chaotic moment, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat and Lu Yu’s breathing.

He couldn’t speak, his chest was blocked by something hot, which slowly cracked and merged into his blood, spreading and rolling inch by inch until his whole body was scorching hot.

•|•

Seventeen two-headed worms on Adar’s Comet died in the explosion.

Lu Yu’s move was like a bomb dropped on the military and the people.

One group supports him, the other group opposes him.

The opposition prevailed, claiming that even if he killed a lot of two-headed insects, he could not atone for the dereliction of duty that led to the annihilation of Team B2. As a “criminal person”, he should have been investigated, but he drove the warship privately, which seriously disregarded military law and violated military orders.

The military, led by the Xu family, jointly pressured Lu Xing to punish Lu Yu.

Subsequently, the military announced that Lu Yu’s rank was demoted two levels and he was under house arrest for one month.

Lu family, conference room.

“Brother, demotion is fine, but why grounding?”

“Because your brain isn’t worth banning.”

Upon hearing this, Jia Yu, who was standing by, tried hard to hold back his laughter, but his shoulders still shook uncontrollably.

Lu Yu glanced over fiercely.

Jia Yu had no choice but to lower his head, clench his lips, and think about all the sad things in his life.

Mo Yiwei: “Someone online has been stirring up trouble, using Lieutenant General Lu… ahem, Major Lu’s injury was a fuss. Now they’re encouraging people to sign a petition demanding Major Lu leave the Mecha Division. Once the required number of signatures is reached…”

Before he finished speaking, everyone’s expressions became serious and tense.

Mechas need strong empathy abilities, and empathy abilities are related to glands.

This is also why higher-level alphas have higher abilities in controlling mechas.

Zhou Ting: “Then issue a report to prove that Major Lu is fine.”

“The problem is, there have been reports online from so-called insiders that the Lu family is planning to issue a fake report to fool the public. So even if we issue a report, not many people will believe it.”

“So now, regardless of the actual condition of the injury, we must confirm that Major Lu is incapacitated, right?”

Lu Yu: “…”

Zhou Ting: “My suggestion is that Major Lu can find an omega to marry, so as to dispel the rumors.”

“It’s indeed time for him to get married. The long-term lack of comfort from omega pheromones has led to his unstable temperament…” The speaker was Song Ming, one of the most senior officers in the military and the sworn brother of Lu Xing and Lu Yu’s adoptive father.

Perhaps feeling he hadn’t said enough, Song Ming continued, “Relying on your own abilities, you disregard the rules. You were lucky this time to have made it back alive from Adar, but what about next time? The military doesn’t need this kind of individualistic hero, let alone someone who doesn’t follow the rules.”

Another senior officer took over, “Major Lu, your actions represent not only yourself, but also the entire Eastern Theater Command. I suggest we proceed this way: the hospital will issue a report, and the Lu family will find you a marriage partner. Within a year, your omega partner will become pregnant. This way, no one will make a fuss about your injury.”

“Also, Lu Shang regards you as an older brother. Besides having a happy family of your own, you also have to keep an eye on your younger brother’s affairs.”

Half an hour later, the stern warnings finally disappeared.

Only Lu Xing, Lu Yu and Jia Yu were left in the conference room.

Lu Yu and Jia Yu looked like they had escaped death, but Lu Xing still had a blank expression on his face.

Lu Yu stood up to leave, and Lu Xing knocked on the cup.

Lu Yu stopped moving instantly, and after a moment, he sat down again.

“Brother, you’re not really going to listen to those old antiques and find me an omega for marriage, are you? Don’t you understand what Old Man Song and Old Man Wang mean by this? They want to force their own children over here.”

Lu Xing glared at him with dark eyes: “You are indeed at the age to get married.” It’s not that he wants to rely on marriage to dispel the rumors, but to find someone to keep Lu Yu in check.

Currently, the highest pheromone level identified by the Empire’s technology is S-level. However, there are actually differences within this level: some are S-level, while others, due to limitations imposed by the machine’s standards, are actually S+.

Lu Yu is such an S+. Since he entered the military academy, he has almost no rivals and is ahead in everything. This also leads to him acting arbitrarily and fearlessly.

When Lu Xing was around, Lu Yu could still be obedient.

If Lu Xing was not there, Lu Yu would be like a monkey calling himself king in a mountain without a tiger.

In the past few years, Lu Xing had started a family and had not been able to focus as much energy on Lu Yu, which made him feel a little guilty. What was said in the meeting today made him think about whether he should also find a partner for Lu Yu and start a family.

After all, having a home means having ties.

“Brother, I’m only 23, there’s no rush.”

“When I was your age, Mingcong already knew how to call me dad.”

“It’s easy to have a son. I already have one.”

Jia Yu looked around curiously, and then found that the “son” beside Lu Yu was himself.

Jia Yu: “…”

“It just so happens that you’ve been grounded for this month, so you have time to go on a blind date with an omega.”

Lu Yu was about to refuse, but after a while, he decided to retreat and advance: “Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to go on a blind date, but I’m not as lucky as you. I can’t meet an omega as smart, capable, and understanding as my sister-in-law.”

Song Xingmo, who had just returned from getting off work, opened the door and paused when he heard this. After a little thought, he guessed what the two brothers were talking about.

He put down his briefcase and walked towards the conference room.

Lu Yu continued to flatter him: “Brother, the best omega in the world has been married to you.”

Lu Xing glanced at Song Xingmo who was slowly approaching: “So?”

“So you think all omegas are like your sister-in-law, and you think I can find happiness too. But it’s not certain. Maybe all I’ll find is a mess.” Lu Yu sighed, pretending to sigh.

At this moment, a hand patted his shoulder, and he subconsciously turned his head: “Who is it?”

“The best omega in the world.”

Lu Yu: “…”
