Chapter 138: Extra 4
[Premise of the Extra: Magic Silver's Temporal Characteristics are Discovered in Advance]
"Latest report! An Alzheimer's patient in the B-town area of White Inwood City has made a miraculous recovery after being exposed to a new type of metal! The new metal is said to have spatial and temporal properties. ......"
Tang Bai sits on the sofa and watches the newscast. Six-year-old Tang Bai's big amber eyes and light curly hair make her look like a gentle lamb.
He turned the sound of the new text up to 6, just enough to drown out the sound of Don's father arguing with Grandpa Don upstairs.
Ever since he was differentiated and his sex was measured as omega, grandpa and dad have been fighting, and mom has cried many times.
Tang Bai tugged at his little white lace-trimmed dress and ran his hand over the bear brooch, which his mother and Uncle Li had taken him to buy yesterday.
He wanted to buy clothes like this before the split, but the family preferred him to dress in A-list clothes.
But yesterday, all of Tang Bai's neutralized or A-list clothes were removed from the closet and put into boxes, along with the mechanical toys that Grandpa made for Tang Bai.
An omega shouldn't use these.
That's what Grandpa said.
Grandpa also uninstalled the training games on Tang Bai's brain, "The Adventures of the Little Spaceship," "Xiao Tang," and "Marvelous Mecha Maker Around the World. ......
Tang Bai stared down at the only remaining games on the computer, his little face did not show much emotion, but his body constantly emitted the sweet smell of milk candy.
At this time, Tang Bai has just completed his differentiation, and when he is agitated, he will emit pheromone, which is the milky candy flavor Tang Bai likes very much, but his family members are not happy when they smell his pheromone.
A message alert popped up, it was Uncle Li's dynamic, a picture of a milk candy, with the message "the smell of milk candy will make people feel better, specially bought a bag of milk candy".
Tang Bai liked the friend circle, and he tried to squeeze out a smile, shallow dimples emerging from his milk fat.
"Sugar ......" Tang Bai's father came down from upstairs and saw Tang Bai's dumbfounded smile while holding the light brain, his eyes flashed with a trace of intolerance, "Whatever you want, dad can buy it for you, and it's okay that those mechanical toys grandpa made for you were taken away, dad can find someone to make you the exact same ones."
Tang Bai didn't say anything.
He was eager to get back the mechanical toys that had been taken away from him, not only because they were interesting, but also because they had been made for him by his grandfather himself.
His grandpa was the best grandpa in the whole world, but now his grandpa didn't want him to touch these things anymore.
Because of this, grandpa had a big fire, and stayed alone in the weapons research lab for a whole day without eating or drinking, grandpa was getting old, he shouldn't make him angry again.
But if he didn't want anything, Dad would be upset too.
The news continues, "Experts name this new metal Magic Silver ......"
Tang Bai lifted his head and looked at the silver metal glowing on the screen, he said in a milky voice, "Do you really want anything? I want this magic silver, it's so beautiful!"
At this time, not to mention the magic silver, even if it is the Xing Xing in the sky Tang father will give Tang Bai to pick it down, he did not hesitate to say: "Good, Daddy will buy you magic silver now!" Buy, anything can be bought, as long as it can make our sugar candy happy!
Tang's father instantly switched to his silly dad state, "How about we use that whatever magic silver for the chain body and pick a big huge gemstone for the main stone?"
Father and son hot discussion necklace with, eyes coincidentally both through the look of relief: can finally coax him good.
*
The Tang family discusses Tang Bai's elementary school education while the "Sea of Blue" is around his neck.
The original school that the Tang family had chosen for Tang Bai was the Central Elementary School attached to the Federal Military Academy, but now that Tang Bai had differentiated into an omega, it was clear that he could no longer attend this top-tier junior college.
The point of contention for them now is whether to let Tang Bai go to a specialized omega junior college or a comprehensive junior college where both omega and beta can attend.
"Go to a specialized O-school, Sugar didn't even learn anything like art, cooking, omega etiquette, or any of those things growing up, the foundation wasn't laid, but it's not too late to learn now, he's so smart-" Grandpa Tang paused in mid-sentence.
"There are no classes that Sugarplum likes at O-school, I've seen the first grade schedule, not to mention the beginner's class in mechanical engineering, even the math class is so simple that it's only addition and subtraction within twenty, what's Sugarplum doing in these classes? Wasting time?" Tang father said coldly.
Tang's mother looked at the incompatible husband and father-in-law, she hardened her heart and made peace: "O-schools and comprehensive colleges are actually both good, the key is to see what Sugar likes, Sugar, which school do you want to go to?"
Tang Bai, who was unconsciously playing with the chain body with his fingers, blinked as he looked at the three concerned faces before coming back to his senses, and he cautiously said, "I want to take the entrance exam for the Central Elementary School attached to the Federal Military Academy."
"Just a test, not enrollment, is that okay?"
The parents looked at each other and finally Grandpa Don said, "Good."
This request sounds strange at first, but the parents of the Tang family were able to understand, Tang Bai's previous education had been an alpha elite training education, and the school he wanted to attend was also an alpha academy.
It was a great pity for Tang Bai to suddenly miss out on the academy of his dreams, and he wanted to take the exams at the elementary school attached to the Federal Military Academy in order to bring his training career to a successful conclusion.
Grandpa Don agreed and then got tired, and instead of continuing the topic of whether he was going to O-school or the comprehensive college, he got up and left.
Father Tang sighed and looked painfully at Tang Bai who was stroking the necklace.
Who knows, what really drove Tang Bai to this decision was a strange book in his head-
"This omega is a marshal.
Tang Bai inadvertently triggered the temporal properties of the magic silver a few days ago, and reading this novel is a bit difficult for Tang Bai, who is still six years old.
He has the same name and background as a character in the book, and will later be matched with an alpha named Gu Tunan.
Miraculously, Uncle Lai's third child was named Gu Tunan. Tang Bai had seen Uncle Lai's other two children, Gu Hongxuan and Gu Jingqi, but Gu Tunan had always been missed for various reasons.
The last time Tang Bai was taken out shopping with Li Songyun by Tang's mother, he learned from Li Songyun that Gu Tunan was applying for the Federal Military Primary School.
If this had happened in the past, Tang Bai would have told his grandfather about the abnormality in his mind, but after this differentiation, Tang Bai had many little secrets of his own.
He didn't want to make his grandfather angry or give up his favorite weapon making, so he would do it secretly without his grandfather's knowledge.
Tang Bai placed the necklace in the right position, he slightly inclined his head and a sweet smile appeared on his angelic and lovely features.
*
Federal Military Academy Attached Center Elementary School.
Tang's mother holds Tang Bai's hand as she stands outside the test center. In addition to the written test, parents are required to accompany Tang Bai during his interviews for the Elementary School, and among a group of alpha or beta kids, Tang Bai, who smells faintly of milk candy, attracts particular attention.
They're both kids now, and alpha kids will instinctively want to be close to this little omega who looks like a walking milkshake.
"Mommy." Little Mo Zheng says bluntly, "I want candy."
Mo's mother opens her handbag to show Mo Zheng, "Do you want gum?"
Such similar scenes also happened among many alpha kids and parents, while Tang Bai, who made the test-taking kids cry with gluttony, was playing a game.
Grandpa uninstalls the games in Tang Bai's optical brain to the point that only demo games and dress-up games are left. These games cannot satisfy Tang Bai, so he uses his father's identity information to register a popular cosmic adventure game, which requires teamwork, and Tang Bai is responsible for piloting a spaceship in the game.
"Sugar, stop playing, look who's here?" Tang Bai looked up and saw Li Songyun leading a small blue-eyed alpha towards him.
Although this alpha child has a baby fat, he already has the temperament of an old cadre, and in the future, he will be a class cadre or the president of the student council in the school.
"Hello, Uncle Lai," said the polite Tang Bai, who was already waving to greet him, while Gu Tunan had a scowl on his face.
"Xiao Nan, this is the Sugar Sugar brother that Little Dad told you about, isn't Sugar Sugar brother cute?" Li Songyun enthusiastically introduced Tang Bai to Gu Tunan.
Gu Tunan, the youngest child, did not say anything, and nodded coldly to Tang Bai.
Tang Bai: "?"
"It's not that Xiao Nan doesn't like you, he's in his tooth replacement phase, he's lost all his two front teeth and usually doesn't feel like talking." Li Songyun mercilessly revealed his shortcomings.
So it is.
The message beep of game failure came out, and the ship crashed in the meteorite belt because Tang Bai temporarily went offline, but no teammates scolded Tang Bai, instead, one teammate attentively chatted with Tang Bai privately : "Big brother, what just happened to you? Is there something wrong?"
Tang Bai withdrew his eyes and calmly typed, "I'm going for an interview, so I'll make an appointment tomorrow."
The team rushed, "Is it a job interview? Go Big Brother!"
Tang Bai thought about it and didn t tell the brutal truth that he was going to take the ECE.
The exam started soon, Tang Bai led his pass number and a bunch of little carrot heads into the exam room, and when the exam papers were handed out, the exam room resounded with the sound of rustling and moving pens.
The invigilator saw the little omega sitting by the window resting his chin in one hand and turning his pen rapidly with the other; he seemed to be distressed by the paper and was not happy when he had scanned the whole paper.
The questions from the school were already difficult, some of the competition questions even college students couldn't do, for this omega cutie, this kind of question was still too hard, right?
Although I heard that that old man in the Don family spent a lot of time and effort on this child, omega is omega and no amount of teaching is as good as alpha.
The invigilator's eyes moved away from Tang Bai and turned to Gu Tunan with satisfaction.
The handwriting on Gu Tunan's draft paper is so neat and beautiful that even if you don't look at whether the answer is correct or not, the writing alone is pleasing to the eye, one stroke, one stroke, as if it were printed.
Tang Bai was sure that there was not a single question on this paper that could be typed, he stopped turning his pen in boredom and started filling in the answers on the fly from the first question, and when he was finished he turned the paper over with a clatter.
Tang Bai, the first one to turn the page in the whole examination room, attracted the attention of the invigilator again, and the invigilator couldn t help but walk over, wanting to remind this little cutie not to fill in blindly, but his mouth opened halfway, and before the words came out, his expression gradually froze.
Tang Bai's sinews were not fully developed, his wrist was not strong enough, and his handwriting was childlike, but he wrote down the answers so fast that he finished all the blanks in almost a blink of an eye.
The invigilator's mind went blank for a moment as he stood beside Tang Bai trying to mentally calculate the questions, filling in the blanks first, correctly, second, correctly, third ......
Correct.
Correct.
All correct!
The tip of the pen drew a circle in the last answer area of the second side, which was a rounded little period after begging for an answer, followed by a turn of the answer pen in Tang Bai's small hand, Tang Bai turned a page to the exam paper, so fast that it didn't leave the invigilator any time to verify the big question on the second side.
At this moment the invigilator teacher is frozen, as a teacher of the Federal Military Academy attached to the central elementary school, he is very clear about the difficulty of each enrollment of the paper, some tricky topics for their teachers to write, may take more than ten minutes, while Tang Bai is like writing one plus one equals two as easy to answer.
How is that possible?
How could an omega do all this?
"Teacher, I'm done writing, can I turn in my paper?" Tang Bai asked dutifully with his little hand raised.
Only twenty minutes had passed, and the young candidates in the examination room were looking at Tang Bai at the word, even Gu Tunan.
"...... You can't hand in your papers early half an hour before the exam start time." The invigilator said in a trance.
Tang Bai Oh, he took out his brand new sketch paper and lay down on the table to scribble on the snow-white paper.
He drew a mech.
It was a cute, cuddly outline of a rabbit mech, and he looked down at the prototype mech on the paper, and slowly took his eraser and erased it again.
No one knew what was going on in his little head at this time, except that everyone had to admit that little Tang Bai's twinkling eyes and little grown-up look of despondency made him look adorable.
At the end of the written exam, Tang Bai was the first to leave the exam room, he looked around the group of waiting parents and saw a silver-haired, green-eyed omega among them, it was eighteen year old Bai Zhi, wearing a round monocle, with the characteristic youthfulness between his eyebrows, but perhaps it was the effect of the lenses, there was always a lingering gloominess in his green eyes.
Tang Bai searched all the main characters in that book in reality, including Bai Zhi, the omega big brother who the book said would later become the first omega councilor.
How can omega be a congressman?
Tang Bai tilted his little head a bit, he remembered again the main character of the book, Xie Ruhang, the first ever omega marshal, if he could find Xie Ruhang in the slums that fit the criteria of the book, he would be able to further explore the temporal properties of the magic silver.
What secrets does that book hide, is it a foretelling of the future or a nonsensical fabrication of a story?
Tang Bai really wanted to know the answer to all this too much, if he was twenty-six years old now, he could run to the Weapons Research Institute to study the magic silver with professional instrumentation and personnel, if he was sixteen years old now, he could sneak out of the school to go to the reality to look for the things that the novels mentioned and verify them one by one.
But he's only six now, not independent, and busy with his Kindergarten exams.
"Sugar, are you tired from the exam? Do you want to drink the ice-sugar pear soup that mom stewed for you?" Tang's mother said softly, and she brought the bowl of sweet soup to Tang Bai.
Tang Bai gulped down a big bowl of it, he let out a sigh of contentment and hugged Tang's mother's arm happily rubbing his face against it, "Ice cold, it's so good~"
Li Songyun's heart melted as he watched, and he couldn't help but touch Tang Bai's little head. At this time, Gu Tunan walked out of the examination room, and Li Songyun took out the snacks he had prepared for him and watched with anticipation for Gu Tunan's reaction.
Gu Tunan: "I'm not hungry."
Li Songyun: "......"
The interview was a group of three students, grouped according to their written test scores, and when the top three written test scores were announced, the crowd marveled, "The first place is an omega?" "His name is Tang Bai, and he is the grandson of His Excellency Tang Rong. " "A perfect score? How did this test come out?!"
Tang Bai looks at Gu Tunan's score, second place, five points below him.
He relived in his mind again the famous scene in that book where the adult Gu Tunan taunts him about being a vase.
Tang Bai looked up at Gu Tunan, and the little blue-eyed young man was also looking at him unblinkingly, with curiosity and friendliness in his eyes, a far cry from the scornful looks depicted in the books.
If that book really can predict the future, then it looks like that future can be changed.
That's funny.
Tang Bai bent his eyes and smiled happily, as expectantly as if he had found a new toy, and basked in the amazement of the crowd as he listened to the teacher announce the first group to be interviewed.
Tang Bai, Gu Tunan, and Bai Li were the first group to enter the conference room accompanied by their parents, and the interview tested their comprehensive quality, and the first question tested their hands-on ability -
Mecha Patchwork.
The parts for the basic mecha assembly are placed in a basket, and the teacher demonstrates how to assemble the simplest possible robotic arm out of fifty pieces, and if they can't remember the process by just watching it once, the parents can watch a playback video for hints.
As the teacher was patiently breaking down each step in the demonstration, Little White Leigh shrugged his shoulders, not sure if he was showing off or provoking, and milked, "I knew this one a long time ago."
If he hadn't been missing an incisor that caused his speech to leak, he might have been a little more arrogant.
Tang Bai ignored the teacher's explanation and continued to watch. In fact, Tang Bai didn't need to watch the teacher's demonstration to assemble the robot arm, but his good education made him sit in his seat and watch the teacher's tutorial without looking at him.
Bai Li's expression was a little less than happy when he saw Tang Bai not even looking at him.
After the teacher's demonstration, the children were allowed to start assembling, and Bai Li held his breath and started to put it together at a fast pace. He was really proud of himself, and he surged ahead of Gu Tunan at the beginning, and was neck and neck with Tang Bai.
Then he was pulled away from Tang Bai and left unceremoniously behind.
Angry into a bun face Bai Li heard the teacher say, "Tang Bai little student really out of my expectation ......"
No big deal, if I had to do it again ...... Well, I probably couldn't beat him either.
Bailey sulked, he had thought that if the omega that smelled so good couldn't spell, then he could grudgingly give the other some hints.
Next, the teachers tested the three children's memory skills, logical thinking skills, observation skills, etc. Tang Bai's performance was the most outstanding in each of these examinations, and the teachers looked at Tang Bai's eyes from the beginning of the appreciation to the present regret.
Too bad.
How is such a great kid an omega?
Even if it was a beta, the future achievements were absolutely unlimited.
The last test was verbal skills, and the teachers asked Tang Bai, "What's a problem that's been bothering you lately?"
Tang Bai sits in a high chair at such a height that he can lock eyes with these adult alphas.
His back is straight but not too taut, his hands are naturally placed on the armrests of the chair, and Tang Bai, with his jaw slightly lifted, does not look like a student being interviewed, but rather a young master who is above the rest.
"I've been wondering lately if an omega is better as a councilor or a marshal." He said in a soft voice.
The adults froze for a moment and erupted into good-natured laughter, "That when I was a little alpha, I had a similar thought about whether I'd be better off in the Council or the Weapons Institute."
"But in the end I became an honorable elementary school teacher hahaha." The teacher who had had enough laughs asked, "So did our Tang Bai kid think of an answer to that question?"
Tang Bai said, "I think it is best for an omega to be able to do whatever he wants to do, whether it is a marshal, a congressman or a people's teacher."
Bai Zhi raised his eyes to Tang Bai for a split second.
He jumped out of his chair after seeing the kid childishly talk, taking first place on the general test but clapping his little hands together and saying without a care in the world, "Let's go."
Tang's mother bent down and asked, "Don't you want to hang out at this school more?"
"There's nothing special here." I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Tang Bai looked back at Bai Zhi, "Maybe O-school is more interesting, mom, let's report to O-school."
*
When Bai Zhi came to Tang Bai's class as a teaching assistant, he saw Tang Bai surrounded by a bunch of fragrant little omegas, the children watching Tang Bai folding roses, and Tang Bai folding them so quickly and so well that his origami creations were the difference between a seller's show and a buyer's show compared to the rest of the children.
"Sugarplum, can you give me this when you're done, I'll trade the cupcakes mom made with you!" "I also want the roses made by Sugarplum!" "Sugarplum, you're so great ......"
The omega kids look at Tang Bai with adoring eyes, so when Tang Bai gives the paper roses to Bai Zhi, the little omegas' heart-broken gazes give Bai Zhi an inexplicable sense of guilt.
"Teacher Bai Zhi, this is for you." Tang Bai cupped his hands and held up the flower Flower Road.
"Thank you." Bai Zhi puts the delicate little rose in his pocket; it's a beginner's math class, and Bai Zhi is in charge of maintaining classroom discipline and handing out test papers.
Unlike the kid king in the middle of class, Tang Bai looks out of place in the middle of class. While the other kids are answering their papers carefully, Tang Bai has finished filling in all the answers and is quietly staring at the world by himself.
Tang Bai's amber eyes were in a state of relaxation as the teacher taught him the basics, his chin propped up on his hand, and only occasionally, when a bird chirped outside the window, would his beautiful eyes suddenly swivel up to look out of the window into the daylight.
At this time, Bai Zhi was just like Tang Bai, gazing intently at the blue, vast, four-cornered sky.
Bai Zhi was deeply disturbed by a question that--
What is he supposed to do to have rights.
After returning home, Bai Zhi took the rose out of his pocket, it was a white rose, the stamen of which was vaguely black, it seemed to be some kind of handwriting, Bai Zhi unwrapped this rose, and saw the childishly small letters:
"Lord Bai Zhi, if you've been struggling with how to become a councilor lately, perhaps I can give you a bit of unsophisticated advice, provided you can take me to the slums to find a beta named Xie Ruhang."
