I Like This Dream!

Count Anna changed the laws in the territory, stipulating that omegas also have the right to inherit property, enjoy the same basic salary as the other two genders, and can marry freely.

This news was published on the front page of Anna Weekly. Count Anna's subjects, who were used to all kinds of magical laws, were also in an uproar. Those who had some money and power but had a compatriot who was a stronger omega than themselves were panicked and looked for ways to change this law. Many bosses are shocked and feel that this is asking for death. If hiring an omega requires the same salary as hiring other people, who will hire an omega? The most controversial one is the last one. Some people are furious, and some people are heartbroken. They all feel that this absurd law is the source of chaos.

Omegas can choose who they marry instead of obeying their parents' orders; omegas can file for divorce with the court, divide their property, and divorce their alphas - if this can happen, what else does sacred marriage and markings have? A sacred place? Isn’t the whole world in chaos? These are unbelievable omegas, these ignorant bastards want to rebel!

The editors of the magazine faithfully recorded the process of promulgation of these series of laws and tracked and reported the efforts of the Gladiolus Society over the past few months. When the story spread and people discovered who was involved in the promulgation of these decrees, the reputation of the Gladiolus Order dropped to its lowest point ever.

The leaders of the Gladiolus Society are protected, but not every member enjoys close protection. The Gladiolus Society's meeting places and members' residences have suffered varying degrees of violence, ranging from throwing rotten eggs and rotten leaves to smashing them and covering them with insults. Omegas who revealed their membership in the Gladiolus Club were constantly harassed, some were fired by their bosses who were unwilling to pay them equal wages, and some quit the club due to family pressure.

The first vicious incident - Emily, the leader of the Gladiolus Society, was beaten until she became deaf and could not be cured - was stabbed in front of Anxu by his staff in a relaxed tone. Anxu was quite surprised and did not understand where they came from. He had the courage to report his dereliction of duty to her with an attitude of claiming credit.

The ungrateful people will eventually be punished. The official said, Sir, you can withdraw your order to deal with those who are greedy. Most sensible people will cheer for you.

An Xu was stunned, feeling like he had grasped their logic.

Do you think I was forced to give those orders? she asked with a hint of laughter.

Of course not! You are the supreme lord of Wenjialuo! the official said excitedly, but those people, mere omegas, dare to threaten you...

Oh, a mere omega. An Xu said, In your eyes, I am a lord who will be intimidated by a mere omega.

No! It's... they shouldn't be so pushy and ungrateful... There was sweat on the official's forehead, and he couldn't speak clearly.

No one in this world can force me to do what I don't want to do. An Xu said calmly, No one can stop what I want to do.

The Sullivan family, the Holy See or the royal court, coercion or inducement, forcing or selling favors, in this world, so far, no one has been able to force An Xu to do something she doesn't want to do. When she was weak, she dared to challenge the whip of the seminary. Now that she has become a lord, no one can use reputation or public opinion to force her to change her mind.

Whether it was those who bribed officials or those who tried to incite public opinion, everything they did was in vain. Count Anna did many benevolent things, but she was a dictator through and through. There may be some special individuals who can impress An Xu, but for the vast majority of people in the dream who are stupid, blind and have the same background, although An Xu treats them kindly, he will never be affected by them.

You seem happy to hear that Gladiolus will be unlucky. An Xu changed the subject, Personal grudge?

Most people hate them, even omegas! the official emphasized. Many omegas have submitted letters of apology. I hope you know that not every omega is like those people. We are all grateful for your kindness, and we all know The lives of the citizens under your leadership are already better than anywhere else in Armenam, and the power of Omega is even more so. Only those who are greedy will squander their noses and face, not being satisfied.

Are you an alpha? An Xu said, Are you married?

No.

Imagine you are married and your spouse wants you to quit your job and go home to take care of the kids. Would you do that?

This is impossible! the official said anxiously, My salary can support my family, but an omega's salary cannot. Besides, I will not marry an omega who would make such a ridiculous request.

What if your parents asked for it? You were forced to marry an omega who asked for it. He drank too much and beat you when he was drunk.

This, this is so ridiculous! the official said angrily, I will definitely divorce such an omega! Even if I never get married, I will never marry such a person!

What if the law stipulates that you are not allowed to divorce the other party?

Your Majesty the Earl! the official said angrily, You cannot issue such a decree! This is unfair!

I think so too. An Xu nodded, Then, if the situation is reversed, why can you feel at ease with it?

Everyone knows that Omega has the best rights in Count Anna's territory. They can go to school, but most of them will not continue to study after completing the mandatory literacy classes, but will go home and get married under the arrangement of their parents; they can work, but the salary is only two-thirds, or even two-thirds, of the other two genders. One in two, many well-paid jobs are considered unsuitable. When beaten, they can seek help from the patrol team, but unless they are maimed and beaten to death, they will never be able to get rid of their nightmare partner for the rest of their lives; they can even delay getting married, I will just be pointed at by people around me, harassed, and called a defective product that no one wants. I just can't inherit my parents' property or have children, that's all.

People, including omegas, educate those who are dissatisfied with this: be content! Be thankful! How happy you are.

The official who was questioned hesitated for a long time, and finally said: Alpha and omega are inherently different...

For example? An Xu asked.

Alphas have physical advantages and are more suitable for work than omegas! the official said.

Do you want to fight with Chris? An Xu looked at him like he was an idiot.

The Chief Knight is a special case! The official quickly explained, I mean ordinary omegas...

Lock you and an omega doctor in a room, and the doctor will definitely be the one who survives in the end, believe it or not?

O toughness - I mean most ordinary ones, not ordinary omegas like the chief knights and doctors. Most omegas are mentally weak...

Do you know that the pain level of childbirth is the highest? Most omegas have survived over the years. An Xu glanced at the other person, If I twist off your balls, do you think you will Stronger than those omegas?

But omegas are in # estrus! The official crotched # and said hurriedly, They will distract alphas in the workplace, and this loss needs to be calculated into their employment fees.

It makes sense. An Xu said, Betas are not easily affected, so if we fire all alphas, the effect will be the same.

In the end, the thug who attacked Emily was sentenced to three years in prison and paid a large amount of compensation; the escort who was sent to protect Emily but seriously neglected his duty was fired, fined, and never hired by the army. Emily's mood was very stable. She even half-jokingly said to An Xu: You said this is going to bleed. I'm glad I'm the one responsible for the bleeding.

The situation we will encounter in the future may be worse than this. An Xu wrote on the paper, Be mentally prepared.

We know this very well. Emily said calmly, More than half of our victories so far are gifts from you, and we are very grateful for this. If we can't even seize the opportunity you gave us, then It’s our incompetence.”

On the first Monday of this month, the members of the Gladiolus Society went on strike on this day. Since the lord was an insider, he also took out the funds for this strike from his private treasury with a wave of his hand and organized an event open to omegas. Free theatrical performance, and announced that all omegas can play with her salary on this day, this event may be more appropriately called a vacation.

People suddenly discovered that the Gladiolus Society, which everyone seemed to be shouting about and was about to disappear, had not decreased in size but increased in size after being punished for such a long time and having withdrawn so many members.

The hospital has become quite busy, with most of the doctors and general nurses on vacation. The remaining doctors were busy, and the patients watched in horror as the medical intern held the syringe tremblingly, poking it several times without hitting the blood vessel, and apologized with even more horrified expressions to their teacher for having the day off.

The factory became very busy, and the new emergency workers made mistakes repeatedly and made a mess. Those bosses who previously announced that they would fire omegas who received the same salary now discovered that so many skilled workers could not be filled in a short time. The cost of recruiting and training workers was much higher than the cost of adding skilled workers to omegas. Those ones.

The cafeteria simply closed down, and the few remaining non-omega staff couldn't complete the previous assembly line. Although the multi-party workflow speeds up the process, it also makes the missing links quite fatal. What's the use of chopping vegetables if the cook is not there? People who were used to eating in the canteen were so hungry that they had to look for food elsewhere.

Food in the market is more expensive than in canteens, making it the only option for many people who live far away from home at this time. But when people arrived, they realized that they couldn’t spend the money they wanted to spend. There was only a little food on the stall of this shop because the wife who usually worked with the boss was on strike. That particularly delicious food shop suddenly tasted terrible. Only then did the customers realize that those delicious pastries were not made by the alpha they regarded as their chef, but by her spouse who never showed up.

Some helpless people have no choice but to return to their homes, only to find that their spouses are not there. The vacation includes working outside the home, and also includes us struggling to cook unpalatable food for ourselves, taking care of crying children and the elderly, and we are extremely busy. Some people angrily swore that they would teach those cruel omegas a lesson, and after they had been busy for a long time, they began to worry about gains and losses again. They realized that if the other party filed for divorce, they would have to do so many terrible tasks today (they only learned today that the work at home is also so hard).

On this day, people suddenly discovered how many omegas there are in life. They are not conspicuous in ordinary times, but they silently occupy half of the world. This is too strange and scary. Why can't they think of the influence on their lives? Betas who are often bystanders can think of some reasons: most alphas who are born with advantages are spoiled by their advantages and can only rely on Omegas who strive for a little bit of fairness are like a herd of deer coexisting with jackals, becoming stronger in their vigilant running.

Nowadays, most of the high-quality alphas who are willing to make progress have joined the army, but the alphas outside are actually far inferior to the omegas.

From this day on, the loudest voices became cautious. People who are willing to shake their fists at a stray dog ​​to show their authority will probably have to weigh it against a pack of wild dogs.

Caleb, the head of the Nightingale's Maw branch, convinced his boss Rebecca, and the Nightingale's Maw branched off into a new branch called Pink Bird. This is not a shady spy agency, it is, uh, a toy selling company that does not appear on the stage but appears openly. In the past, there were brothels in Amenan that provided sex toy services, but Pink Bird was different from them. It was a company whose main audience was omegas.

Do you want to have sex with your lover, but don’t want children? Do you want to enjoy happiness without losing your freedom and being marked? Please buy the Pink Bird Security # complete # set to give you a unique feeling! It’s hard to go through the hot season, but you can’t find the person you like? It doesn't matter! Pink Bird Press # Massager # is available in various models and shapes, allowing you to enjoy your orgasm alone!

These bold and hot slogans were posted, making people blush and making defenders furious. It's just not easy to find trouble in the pink bird store. If the organization that produces agents and spies wants to ensure the safety of a love store, it is simply killing a chicken with a knife.

So the defenders had no choice but to tell the omegas around them what a terrible place it was. Anyone who went there would go to hell and be punished by God. As a result, Pink Bird immediately enshrined a consecrated statue of the god in the store: After listening to the gospel in church Use the materials to make statues of gods. Go into the store and take a look to ensure that you will not go to hell, but will go to heaven!

This made some stone-headed believers so angry that they almost vomited blood, but if they were to protest... I'm sorry, how are you going to protest? The evangelical church priests ask you with a compassionate face, is it wrong to use idols to protect good citizens of Armonan? God’s love is selfless. How can you discriminate against people because of their profession?

After everyone who found trouble with the pink bird had inexplicable bad luck, the defender could only repeat in earnest how dishonest that store was, so that Omega wouldn't get close to it. Most of the omegas nodded when they heard this, but how to do it is still up for debate.

Pink Bird has an outstanding advertising service. In addition to the product placement ads made by troubadours (The brave man and his sweetheart looked at each other lovingly, and the brave man took out the pink bird card XXX...), there are also advertisements everywhere. The leaflet material is not only flammable but also edible, and can be destroyed at any time; it has first-class delivery service. Buyers only need to send the deposit and order to mailboxes in special places, and they will be delivered to the designated place at the designated time. Get the product; another major feature of Pink Bird's products is its secrecy. Something that cannot be said can be turned into a table leg, a paperweight, a medicine bottle, a book... Only if you can't imagine it, it can't be done without it.

In addition to single omegas, AO couples and beta couples who were in good relationships also secretly became regular visitors to Pink Bird after a period of time. Nightingale's Throat can swear by its hundreds of years of experience in running brothels, and it will definitely provide Yamenan's leading humane services.

At this point, it becomes impossible to annihilate the offending merchants, and opponents begin to use other reasons to oppose. They united with those who opposed omega's free marriage and expressed worry: If omega refuses to get married or have children because of this, Count Anna's territory will be destroyed! There's no one left! Humanity is going to perish!

Caleb, the founder of Pink Bird, rolled his eyes hugely at this. He simply said: I don't have a massage stick to please the omega. Who is to blame?

Anxu quite agreed with Caleb's words, but as a lord, his staff would never accept the reason for this. City Mayor Charlotte took out the data and expressed her concerns to Anxu.

From the time the Gladiolus Society submitted its petition to now, the marriage rate has dropped a lot, and divorce cases have gradually increased. Although there are people who have immigrated to the territory from other places to support it now, when the number of these people reaches saturation, the population growth of the territory will not keep up with the speed of development, and there will even be a population decline.

I do not agree with His Majesty the King's decision to marry blindly. She said, But Sir, I think the concept of infertility and infertility should not be encouraged. If all omegas lack a sense of responsibility, in more than ten years, we will It will be at a disadvantage because of demographic issues.”

I remember when the immigration rate increased, you told me that other facilities were in short supply. An Xu said, If we want the newly arrived immigrants to have enough food, clothing, a place to live, and go to school, Public facilities and teachers and other workers are already very stretched, so if you look at it this way, isn’t it overpopulation?”

It's true that I'm a little nervous. Charlotte hesitated, But some simple physical tasks do not require literacy to go to school. With all due respect, if arranged according to the average living standards of Amenan, the existing facilities are enough to accommodate twice as many population above.

You also said, 'population'. Anxu said, I need people, not animals.

A resource allows a pair of parents to raise a child who grows up in care, is well educated, and has good knowledge, cultivation and moral character. The same amount of resources can allow a group of parents to give birth to ten children. Five of the ten children raised like pigs will die due to disease, hunger and accidents. The remaining five are malnourished, uneducated and have no skills. There may be one The stupid strength that can be used as labor force will be peaceful and peaceful all their lives under high pressure, heavy taxes and religious intimidation. If they are incited, they will burn people. An Xu felt that no matter how he looked at the latter, it was a loss.

In recent years the rate of population growth elsewhere in the south of Armen may have been greater than in the territory of Ansyria. But as long as the death rate here continues to remain at the lowest level in Armenen, there is no need to worry about the difference in population quantity, let alone quality.

Her alchemists are teaching students all the time, researching tools that are convenient for the people or weapons that can be used to fend off enemies. History has long proven that it is better to improve quality and develop technology by adding skill points in the sea of ​​​​people.

What's more, this is not reality. Let's not talk about science in the world of supernatural powers, okay? When the day came that the enemy was approaching the city but could not be defeated (Anxu felt that the possibility was about as great as the Pope waking up and discovering atheism), Anxu would just go out and fight on his own. What's one against ten? She can hit tens of millions of them at once! This older chuunibyou, who has not been sick for a long time (?), even looks forward to the feeling of the king having a brain twitch and sweeping thousands of armies by one person, which will definitely be more satisfying.

Besides, An Xu said, reproduction is not an omega's responsibility, but a right.

=====

This morning in Thunder Castle, Jay, the leader of Myna, who was on sick leave during his observation period, held breakfast in his hand and knocked on the door of the laboratory. The laboratory was quiet. His teacher Alva and his junior sister Rosa sat silently in front of a pile of experimental equipment and reagents. Their two pairs of bloodshot eyes stared at an empty test tube with dull eyes. Silent.

This scene looks a bit scary, and it is very suitable for a scene of wizards in folklore, but Jay, who has been running around in Alva's laboratory since he was a child, has long been immune to this. He placed the tray with breakfast on the empty small round table, placed the hot milk and bread on the tray separately, and said, Good morning...

At this point, he stopped and looked at the two alchemists next to him with some hesitation. Jay sniffed the air calmly, sniffed a little loudly, and smelled his sleeves again, looking even more confused.

Teacher? he said hesitantly, I can't seem to smell you. Is there something wrong with me...

Two pairs of sleep-deprived eyes suddenly turned to Jay, and suddenly looked at him from head to toe with great enthusiasm. Even the head agent who had seen the storms and waves stopped with his hair standing on end. Alva gave a creepy smile and said, Come here.

The chief medical officer smiled like a wolf grandma who could make the bravest soldiers on the Theban defenses run away. His student bravely walked towards him, but he grabbed him, held him close to his neck, and asked, What now?

The alpha bites the neck when it marks the omega. Omega has glands near the neck, and the smell of pheromones is the strongest. Jay's face was as red as a junior high school student. He stuttered and tried to smell it with concentration. His expression became strange: Nothing.

Even if it’s not during the boom, o. Troubadours have used hundreds of metaphors to describe how few omegas can hide in front of O's dog nose.

But now there is nothing.

The test tube hit the floor with a thud, splinters flying everywhere, but no one was paying attention right now. Rosa covered her mouth and blinked her eyes, tears welling up in big drops. Alva suddenly chuckled, sounding both full of hatred and suppressed ecstasy.

Jay was a little frightened. He had never seen the teacher show such an expression. Alva stood up suddenly, holding the table, running his fingers across the open notebook, with tears in his eyes.

I want to see, the omega grinned through gritted teeth, who else can drive us out.

In the year 349 of the Cecil calendar, the alchemists Alva and Rosa invented inhibitors.

People in later generations used various flattering words to describe this pioneering work across the ages. There were also many dialectical opinions pointing out that although the first-generation inhibitor invented by Alva and Rosa could control the hot period, it was not as good as modern inhibitors that have been improved many times. In comparison, its shortcomings are numerous. For example, its medicinal properties are unstable, long-term use will have many side effects, and it completely masks the pheromone smell of omega itself.

Some schools of thought believe that this imperfection obscures the sexuality of omegas, and has the same de-gendering and anti-omega implications as the robes of previous saints. However, no matter how anti-omega the naysayers in the future may say, this inhibitor still became popular throughout Armenan in less than a year after its birth. It was sold openly in Count Anna's territory and sold at high prices on the black market elsewhere. Quite a few omegas who did not want to lose their inheritance rights or become the property of anyone at will began to use inhibitors.

After the minstrels fled, a new way of disappearing appeared for omegas in the king's territory.

By winter, Richard II finally couldn't bear the population loss caused by Count Anna. The king's envoy was sent to Vengaro to commend Count Anna for curing the plague and to discuss some minor issues. The special envoy was named Oscar Field, and he came to Spring City with his grand guard of honor.

Oscar Field? An Xu frowned and repeated, I don't know why, but something sounds familiar.

Chris Field looked at the blond alpha in front of him. His face had changed a lot compared to before, but the contempt in his eyes had not changed at all.

Oscar nodded to the chief knight and said, Long time no see, cousin Chris.
