RAAS Chapter 77: Galactic Federation (14)
Shi Qing gave an awkward smile and quickly changed the topic: "I just received the main quest prompt. I'll send it to you now."
System Prompt: Clue collection complete. Main quest objective—Obtain the Omega Mental Activation Drug.
Shi Qing had already received this prompt before loading the save file, but at that time, he had no idea what it meant. Now, after hearing Qin Mo’s explanation, he finally understood.
Shi Yuan—Shi Yun and Shi Qing's father—was not just relentlessly hunted by the Omega Association for inventing the Omega High-Efficiency Suppressant. More importantly, it was because of his later, more revolutionary experiment.
The development of the Omega Mental Activation Drug.
As the name suggests, this was a drug designed for Omegas, meant to activate the latent mental powers within them. Ancient texts had briefly mentioned such abilities a long, long time ago.
At that time, Omegas and Alphas existed in balanced numbers, with equal birth and survival rates. It was an era of prosperity—every Alpha could find their Omega, and every Omega could freely choose an Alpha they liked.
It was a normal, harmonious, and positive society, in stark contrast to today's distorted and vicious cycle.
Shi Yuan discovered these historical records and spent decades gathering information, searching for the key to that long-lost equilibrium. Eventually, he uncovered the hidden power within the Omega body.
The Creator was fair and did not favor one side over the other. Though Omegas lacked strong physiques, they possessed a unique force of their own—an immense and indescribable mental power.
With their thoughts alone, they could influence others, even control them.
This was an extraordinary ability, shrouded in mystery and the unknown.
Where there is power, ambition follows. The once-perfect harmony was gradually shattered. Around two thousand years ago, some Omegas, consumed by ambition, used this power to become rulers of the world. They enslaved Alphas, treating them like mere puppets and servants, humiliating them at will.
It was a dark, unspoken period of history—erased from records, unspeakable, and unimaginable.
When balance is lost, tragedy becomes inevitable.
The Omegas’ reckless tyranny eventually provoked widespread outrage. Alphas rose in revolt, launching a brutal war that lasted centuries.
In the end, the Omegas were defeated. Their mental powers were sealed away forever, and they were branded with an eternal mark.
Any Omega who was marked would never be able to betray their Alpha.
It was the Alphas' revenge. They overturned one abyss of oppression, only to step into another hellish regime.
A world where Omegas could no longer survive.
Shi Yuan saw all of this. He did not wish for Omegas to regain the power to rule the world—he only wanted them to reclaim their rightful strength and restore balance to this distorted society.
Omegas would always be marked, forever belonging to their Alphas.
But if they could regain their mental powers, could they also hold on to their Alphas forever?
Mutual dependence, rather than one-sided attachment—if they could help each other and save each other, would this world finally return to the right path?
Shi Yuan didn’t know. But he believed this was a path of hope.
He devoted decades of painstaking effort and finally succeeded. But in the end, he was betrayed and faced an unprecedented extermination. Even his Alpha partner was killed.
The miracle drug was successfully developed, but at that moment, it disappeared.
Now, the mission was to find this drug. Shi Qing frowned and asked, "Where do we even start looking? After so many years, the drug must have been destroyed, right?"
"Yes, the drug was destroyed long ago," Qin Mo looked at him and continued, "but the formula still exists."
Shi Qing's eyes lit up. If they had the formula, wouldn't it be possible to recreate the drug?
"Where is the formula?"
"Omega Association."
Hearing this name, Shi Qing noticeably paused. Those unpleasant memories hadn't faded so quickly. Fortunately, he was just a little panda, and his expression didn't give anything away.
After a brief moment, he continued asking, "Are you sure? How was this discovered?"
"It was Shi Yun. He inherited Shi Yuan's will and has been searching all along."
At this, Shi Qing finally understood. So that's how it was.
That made things much easier. Although the Omega Association was heavily guarded, stopping him and Qin Mo? That was simply impossible.
Even though the main mission was now clear, the biggest rewards for this task actually lay within the side missions.
Thinking back to last week's side missions… Shi Qing realized that even an all-capable host like himself had his struggles.
What a complete mess!
It was such a simple thing—just playing matchmaker, right? Just follow their hearts and let things unfold naturally.
The first side mission… looking at it now, seemed easy enough. The second side mission, passing on the bloodline… cough, such a daunting task could only be handed over to Second Brother Ye. But that also depended on whether Shi Yun was willing. If he wasn’t, this mission might have to be abandoned.
As for the third side mission, that one was much simpler.
Wait… hold on!
Shi Qing suddenly remembered—at this point in time, wasn’t Ye Xin about to run away?!
That guy should be sneaking out any minute now, right?
Thinking about the chaos that would ensue tomorrow, Shi Qing immediately snapped out of it. This was a golden opportunity! He couldn't let Ye Xin act foolishly again!
He had to catch him first and then figure out the next steps.
With a swift motion, he transformed back into his human form, curved his eyes into a smile, and said to Qin Mo, "Let's go complete a mission. We should take care of the third one first."
Qin Mo raised an eyebrow.
Shi Qing quickly appeased him, tiptoed closer, and kissed him lightly. Then he added, "Time is of the essence. If we miss this chance, it’d be a shame."
Since the system’s soothing technique was already at max level, the host simply pulled him closer and kissed him even harder, leaving him dazed before finally letting go. "Let's go."
Shi Qing’s heart was pounding as he went after Ye Xin.
To these two monsters, Ye Xin's little legs were truly nothing.
He had just stepped out of the Ye residence when Shi Qing and Qin Mo caught up to him.
Seeing Qin Mo, Ye Xin instantly tensed up, afraid that his third brother would drag him back. Then he spotted Shi Qing and was immediately puzzled.
Why were his third brother and Xiao Qing together?
Didn’t these two barely talk to each other?
But before he had time to think too much, Shi Qing grabbed him. "Come back with me."
Ye Xin and Shi Qing were close, so when he saw him, all he could do was give him a big QAQ expression.
Seeing him like this, Shi Qing couldn't stay mad. But with his overwhelming strength, handling Ye Xin, this little weakling, was a piece of cake. He effortlessly dragged him back into the Ye residence.
Back in his bedroom, Shi Qing immediately questioned him: "What are you trying to do? Going to find Lin Su?"
Ye Xin's mind was a mess, but he still tried to keep his composure, especially since his third brother was standing right there. He wasn’t as close to Qin Mo as he was to Shi Qing.
Seeing that Ye Xin wasn’t responding, Shi Qing pressed on: "What do you plan to do? Mark first, then get married?"
At the sudden mention of this, Ye Xin's face turned bright red. If it had been anyone else, he would’ve thrown a punch.
But now, he couldn’t even keep a straight face. His voice involuntarily rose, "N-No way!"
"Then what are you going to him for in the middle of the night?"
Ye Xin was at a loss for words—he didn’t even know himself.
Seeing him deflate, Shi Qing knew the blow had landed. He then said seriously, "You know what Lin Su is like. If you go to him like this, he’ll just send you back the way you came and even wish you a happy marriage."
Ye Xin's face instantly went pale.
"If you really want to wake this blockhead up, you need to use some drastic measures."
Hearing the certainty in Shi Qing’s tone, Ye Xin's heart filled with hope again. He looked up at him. "You have a plan?"
"Yes, I do. But first, you have to deal with our dad."
Ye Xin instantly felt drained. If he could deal with Ye Xuan, he wouldn't be suffering like this in the first place.
"Dad will never agree."
"Have you tried?"
That one question silenced Ye Xin. He thought he understood his father well. Ever since he realized his feelings for Lin Su, he had envisioned countless scenarios. In every outcome, he would anger Ye Xuan and face harsh rejection. That was why he had never brought it up, not even once…
Nowadays, since Ye Xuan had taken it upon himself to arrange a marriage for him, Ye Xin no longer dared to voice his own thoughts. He believed that speaking up would be pointless—aside from angering his father, it would have no other effect.
Thinking of this, Ye Xin shook his head again. "Xiao Qing, it’s impossible. Dad would never agree. Lin Su's age, status—none of it would be acceptable to him."
Shi Qing looked at him and finally understood what it meant to be blinded by the situation while an outsider could see clearly.
He stared at Ye Xin and finally got to the point: "Who told you to confront him head-on? That’s your father—what’s wrong with softening up a little? Is there any father who doesn’t care for his child? Or are you saying that in these past twenty years, he hasn’t cared for you at all?"
Ye Xin was at a loss.
Shi Qing really wanted to call him a blockhead. He pulled him closer and whispered in his ear.
After hearing everything, Ye Xin blinked and looked at Shi Qing in disbelief. "This… this would really work?"
Shi Qing responded seriously, "As long as you follow my instructions exactly, it will definitely work."
Ye Xin was still hesitant.
Shi Qing was already growing impatient. "If you're going to be afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, then you might as well start packing for your wedding tomorrow!"
That one sentence ignited Ye Xin’s fighting spirit. Although this wasn’t quite his usual style, if it could really work, then it would be worth it!
So he stood up, took on the stance of a warrior ready to sever his own path, and headed to Ye Xuan's bedroom.
Qin Mo had been standing at a distance and hadn’t heard what Shi Qing said to Ye Xin. Now, he asked, "What did you say to him?"
Shi Qing chuckled and replied, "Come on, let’s go take a look and find out."
He pulled Qin Mo along, intending to eavesdrop. But just as they stepped out the door, Qin Mo grabbed his hand in return.
"No need."
Shi Qing widened his eyes. "Why not?"
"Since you're confident, we should go find Lin Su and finish our mission as soon as possible."
Being pulled out the door by Qin Mo, Shi Qing was still a bit confused.
Why did it feel like his host was in such a hurry?
