Top Omega Pretending To Be Good Again Chapter 19 and Chapter 20

Chapter 19: Ambiguous Behavior

Shen Mu settled into the game cabin and logged into his streaming account.

As one of the top streamers in this mecha game, the number of viewers in his live stream instantly soared as soon as he went live.

He was the only streamer among the top ones who had never turned on his camera during his streams.

And he himself was unique.

Today, in an unprecedented move, Shen Mu didn’t immediately jump into high-ranked matches upon entering the game. His roommate, Song Xiangnan, invited him to join his team.

Earlier, Song Xiangnan came to Shen Mu seeking help. He mentioned that he was playing with his “super fan” and that they would be participating in an important 3v3 tournament in a few days.

The team that secured first place in the tournament would receive the latest model of an A-class mecha for each team member. This mecha not only had excellent attributes but also a cool appearance.

The official game platform had put a lot of effort into promoting this tournament, and the announcement had been displayed on the official website for over a week.

As a streamer, Shen Mu was aware of this tournament, but he wasn’t interested in participating and hadn’t planned to sign up.

However, Song Xiangnan pleaded with Shen Mu, acting cute and adorable, until Shen Mu, who was in a particularly good mood today, finally agreed.

The soundproofing of the game cabin was excellent, and when Shen Mu and Song Xiangnan were live streaming, the viewers couldn’t hear each other’s voices. Therefore, the viewers in their respective streams had no idea that they knew each other, let alone that they shared the same dormitory.

Hence, when Song Xiangnan suddenly invited Shen Mu to join his team during the live stream, and Shen Mu agreed, the chat room erupted, and the barrage of comments flew by.

“Ah! Dream collaboration! The two streamers I’m a fan of are on the same team!”

“So excited! I never miss a single live stream of these two streamers. Now they’re in the same frame!”

“The person above must be a fake fan. Their live streams often overlap, and the platform doesn’t have replays. How did you manage to watch every single one?”

“The person above must be clueless. Don’t you know there’s something called dual streaming in this day and age?”

“Sob sob, am I the only one who doesn’t want to see them on the same team? My adorable little Omega shouldn’t be taken away by some wild Alpha.”

“Exactly! Kick that wild Alpha out!”

“Hey, watch your language! What do you mean by ‘wild Alpha’? Our God of Twilight, Shen Mu, has plenty of fans!”

“Yeah, our streamer is all about pure skills, super straight A, and he’s not interested in your little Omega.”

“I agree with the person above. Our streamer is super straight A. There was a time when we faced a super cute Omega in a match, but our streamer didn’t let them score a single point. No mercy, indeed.”

…

Shen Mu glanced at the barrage of comments and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Wild Alpha? What a strange term. It seemed like these people had some misconceptions about him.

Shen Mu’s streaming ID was “Twilight,” while Song Xiangnan was “The Strongest Cat in the Universe.”

Song Xiangnan always had his camera on, and his profile indicated that he was an Omega, so the viewers were certain about his status as an Omega.

On the other hand,Shen Mu never turned on his camera, didn’t fill out any information on his profile, and had never publicly disclosed his gender.

In fact, in his stream, viewers often left comments like “God of Twilight is amazing, God of Twilight is on fire,” or “God of Twilight is the Alpha among Alphas.” Once, he casually responded with, “How do you all know I’m an Alpha?” and immediately received many replies like “That’s obvious, God of Twilight is incredibly skilled when piloting mechas.”

Shen Mu didn’t understand why players who excelled in piloting mechas were automatically assumed to be Alphas. Not to mention that this was just a game, and even in real life, being skilled in mecha piloting didn’t exclusively belong to Alphas.

Although, due to physiological reasons, the average physical condition of Alphas was better than that of Betas and Omegas. But that was just an average.

Nevertheless, Shen Mu was broad-minded and took the term “wild Alpha” lightly.

However, Song Xiangnan clearly wasn’t pleased.

Since they were in the same voice chat as teammates, Shen Mu could clearly hear what Song Xiangnan was saying on the other end—his roommate Song Xiangnan was currently venting his frustration towards the barrage of comments.

“It’s not a wild Alpha! Show some manners! Shen Mu is the technical support I pleaded with for so long. If you all drive him away and we lose the tournament, who will take responsibility?” Song Xiangnan had a cute and sweet appearance, and his voice was soft and tender. So even when he was venting, his momentum wasn’t strong. Instead, it caused a commotion in the live chat.

Shen Mu leaned back in his chair, watching the barrage of comments scrolling rapidly. He lazily responded, “Oh, I’m not exactly a straight A student. Mercy and cherishing jade? You guys sure know your idioms.”

“What? You’re saying it’s used correctly? Well, then it’s your misunderstanding of the term.”

“What do I mean? I mean that showing mercy and cherishing jade doesn’t mean intentionally letting the opponent score in a match. Not letting them score a single point is a sign of respect for the opponent.”

Shen Mu took a sip of the milk placed beside him and continued to casually chat with the barrage of comments.

“Your captain, The Strongest Cat in the Universe, has invited the Cat Keeper to join the team.”

“The Cat Keeper has joined the team.”

On Shen Mu’s screen, two lines of text appeared, and then he saw a man with a stuffed cat avatar appear in their team room in the game.

This person’s game ID was Cat Keeper, and his avatar was a stuffed cat. And that stuffed cat happened to be Song Xiangnan’s companion beast.

There was no need to ask who this person was. Wasn’t he the so-called “super fan” that Song Xiangnan mentioned?

These fans were really dedicated, using Song Xiangnan’s companion beast as their avatar.

In the Lumina Star System, there was a possibility for individuals with Spirit Power at or above D-level to awaken a companion beast. Generally, the stronger the Spirit Power, the earlier the awakening of the companion beast. The strength of the companion beast’s abilities was also related to the strength of the owner’s Spirit Power.

Using the other person’s companion beast as an avatar was indeed a bit ambiguous behavior.

Thinking about it, Shen Mu’s mind wandered off. In fact, his relationship with his general and his situation were even more ambiguous.

Back then, Gu Jun was still holding his companion beast, and Shen Mu even touched it.

And Shen Mu’s companion beast obediently nestled in Gu Jun’s arms for quite a while.

*****************************************************************

Chapter 20: His Companion Beast was Rubbed

At that time, Shen Mu was still in his first year of junior high school.

Due to the heavy workload in his key junior high school studies, New Year’s Ever arrived when Shen Mu’s winter vacation started. 

Starting from junior high school, Shen Mu started renting a house near his school, but during holidays, he would usually return to his home.

However, in that home, his father, stepmother, and half-brother felt more like a family than him. 

Since he was not old enough to drive a shuttle and his school was far from home, Shen Mu carried his luggage and took a shuttle to make it in time for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

But the school gate was crowded with parents picking up their children to celebrate the New Year.

Although he never expected his family to come and pick him up, the scene still made Shen Mu feel a little melancholy. At that time, Shen Mu was still young, far less resilient than he would become as an adult.

When he returned home by shuttle, he found that all the lights in the house were off. He opened the door and entered, but there was no one inside.

Shen Mu curled up on the sofa, covered with a blanket, and watched TV alone for a long time. The temperature inside the house was low, but he was too lazy to turn on the air conditioning. He even lost his appetite for dinner.

Later, he was awakened by the cold in the middle of the night. When he checked his phone, he realized that his father had sent him a message hours ago, saying that they were going to play outside for a few days before returning. They also transferred a large sum of money to him and wished him a happy new year.

Shen Mu felt his eyes dry and parched. He knew that his half-brother had an earlier vacation, and the three of them went on a trip. But he didn’t expect that they wouldn’t even come back for the New Year.

Perhaps they wanted to spend the New Year as a family of three. For some reason, since then, Shen Mu, who already had a naturally low body temperature, became even more sensitive to the cold.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, most shuttle drivers were celebrating with their families, so the price of taking a shuttle was exorbitant, several times higher than usual.

But Shen Mu still took a shuttle that traversed star regions, traveling from the Second Star Region to the First Star Region.

Suddenly, he really wanted to see that person, to visit him. But he was considerate and didn’t want to disturb their family’s New Year celebration. So he decided to observe secretly.

At that time, Shen Mu’s companion beast was in a rapid growth period, requiring him to expend a lot of mental energy to nurture it, and during this period, the companion beast became particularly attached to him.

Since Shen Mu was in a bad mood at that time, he let his companion beast out and held it in his arms. He hid not stay far from that person’s house, rubbing the plush fur of his companion beast absentmindedly.

Who knew that his companion beast, who usually clung to him and liked to snuggle into his arms, suddenly leaped out of his embrace while he was lost in thought and ran towards the person’s house with its four fluffy legs.

Shen Mu was about to run over and pick up his companion beast when he saw someone walking out.

In that instant, Shen Mu felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest. He instinctively hid and watched as the tall figure slowly squatted down and gently stroked his companion beast’s back.

Normally, Shen Mu’s companion beast didn’t let anyone touch it besides him. But when it saw that person, it enthusiastically hopped in front of him, and after being petted, it happily rubbed against his pants.

The person gently picked up the companion beast and while stroking it, softly said, “Whose little bunny are you? Why did you come out in the cold?”

The companion beast was enjoying the petting, obediently nestling in his arms. It completely behaved as if it didn’t care about being mistaken for a different species.

In fact, Shen Mu’s companion beast was a Hu, but this species was extremely rare, and its appearance was very similar to that of a rabbit. So being mistaken was a common occurrence.

Shen Mu couldn’t help but stare in amazement. It was because of the companion beast’s reaction and because of that person.

That person had become taller and even more handsome than a few years ago. Or perhaps, he had always been handsome, but now he exuded the charm of a mature man even more.

Shen Mu’s heart was racing, and he hesitated whether he should go up and greet him.

But he didn’t know if this brother, who had given him warmth and protection during his childhood, would still remember him after so many years. He knew his brother’s name was Gu Jun, but his brother didn’t know his name. When he was young, during their brief encounters, he was called “Baby or little kid” by the other party.

Shen Mu thought that it was highly likely that Gu Jun would remember. It would be impolite to intrude on their New Year celebration without invitation.

Shen Mu felt a sourness in his heart. Just as he was hesitating, Gu Jun was called inside by his family to have a meal, carrying his companion beast with him.

Obviously, Gu Jun didn’t recognize the companion beast. He probably just saw it as a little white rabbit that had escaped from someone’s home.

How pathetic, just like that, he followed them. The consecutive experiences of the past few days made the young Shen Mu feel a bit aggrieved.

At that moment, he also wanted to follow them inside and have a meal together. But he couldn’t.

Shen Mu stood in the cold wind of winter for a long time that day before using his psychic power to summon back his companion beast.

Then he called for a shuttle and returned home.

Looking back at that moment as an adult, Shen Mu definitely didn’t want to admit that he was so weak that his eyes turned red back then.

“Mu Ge, Mu Ge, calling Mu Ge?” Song Xiangnan called Shen Mu in the team voice chat. “Brother, are you disconnected?”

“No,” Shen Mu snapped back to reality and coughed lightly.

“Oh, okay, now that we have formed the team, let’s quickly sign up!” Song Xiangnan couldn’t wait.

“Sure, since you’re the team leader now, lead the way,” Shen Mu replied. These procedures only required the team leader’s operation, and after the operation was completed, the team members just needed to click “Agree,” so Shen Mu had nothing much to do. He stretched lazily and leisurely sipped his milk.

“Cat Keeper, why aren’t you talking today?” Song Xiangnan felt a bit puzzled. The other person usually talked a lot, but today, since they came online, they hadn’t said a word.

Soon, a message appeared in the team channel chat: “My throat isn’t feeling well today, can I type instead?”

“Oh, your throat isn’t feeling well. Are you okay?” Song Xiangnan quickly asked.

Cat Keeper: It’s fine. I might need to type today, is that okay? Please, please, cute cat emojis.

“Of course, it’s okay,” Song Xiangnan replied.

They finished signing up and played a few matches in the team, then logged off. After all, they had classes and work to attend to tomorrow and couldn’t stay up too late.

After ending the live stream, Shen Mu and Song Xiangnan both exited the game, and Shen Mu noticed that Song Xiangnan had a worried and unhappy expression.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Mu asked.

Before he could even finish speaking, he received a message from his therapist, Su Bei. The message only contained two sentences: “I am the Cat Keeper. We didn’t recognize each other during the live stream.”

Shen Mu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

It was truly fantastical.
