MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 126
Earl Anna revised the laws of the territory, stipulating that Omega also has the right to inherit property, enjoys the same basic salary as the other two genders, and can marry freely.
This news was published on the front page of "Anna Weekly", even Earl Anna's subjects who were used to all kinds of magical decrees were also in an uproar. Those people who have some money and power but have fellow omegas who are stronger than themselves panicked and looked for ways to change this law. Many bosses were astonished and felt that this was a dead end. If hiring an omega cost the same salary as hiring other people, who would hire an omega? The most controversial is the last one. Some people are furious, and some people are heartbroken. They all think this absurd law is the source of chaos.
Omega can choose whom to marry instead of obeying the orders of their parents; Omega can file for divorce in court, divide property, and "divorce" their alphas—if these things can happen, what is sacred about marriage and tokens? where? Isn't the whole world in chaos? These outrageous omega, these **** who don't know what's good and what's wrong, want to rebel!
The editors of the weekly faithfully recorded the promulgation process of these series of laws, tracking and reporting the efforts of the Gladiolus Society for several months. When this report spread and people found out who was involved in these decrees, the reputation of the Gladiator Society fell to an all-time low.
The leaders of the Gladiator Society are protected, but not every member enjoys close protection. The meeting places and the residences of the members of the Gladiator Society were subjected to violence of varying degrees, ranging from throwing rotten eggs and rotten leaves, to smashing up the space and scribbling insults. The omegas who disclosed their membership of the Gladiolus Club were constantly harassed, some were fired by their bosses who refused to pay them the same wages, and some resigned under family pressure.
The first vicious incident—the leader of the Gladiolus Society, Emily, was beaten until she became deaf in both ears and could not be cured—was stabbed in front of An Xu by the staff in a relaxed manner. An Xu was quite surprised, and did not understand where they had the courage , Reporting her dereliction of duty to her with an attitude like asking for credit.
"The ungrateful will be punished," said the official. "My lord, you can take back the order to perfunctory the greedy, and most of the sensible people will cheer for you."
An Xu was stunned, feeling that he had touched their logic.
"You think I was forced to give those orders?" she asked ironically.
"Of course not! You are the supreme lord of Bungalow!" the official said excitedly, "But those people, mere omega, dare to threaten you..."
"Oh, 'mere omega'." An Xu said, "In your eyes, I am a lord who will be coerced by 'mere omega'."
"No! Yes... They shouldn't be so pushy and ungrateful..." The official's forehead was sweating, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"What I don't want to do, no one in this world can force me." An Xu said calmly, "No one can stop what I want to do."
The Sullivan family, the Holy See or the royal court, intimidating or luring, coercing or selling favors, in this world, so far, no one has been able to force Anxu to do what she does not 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 "fame" or "public opinion" to coerce her to change her mind.
Whether it is those who bribe officials or those who try to incite public opinion, everything they do is useless. Earl Anna has done many benevolent things, but she is a dictator through and through. Perhaps some special individuals can impress An Xu, but for the vast majority of people who are stupid and blind in the dream with the same background, although An Xu treats them kindly, he will never be influenced by them.
"You seem happy to hear that Jianlan will be unlucky." An Xu changed the subject, "Is it a personal grudge?"
"Most people hate them, even the omegas!" the officer emphasized. "Many omegas have filed incrimination papers. I hope you know that not every omega is like those people. We all appreciate your kindness and know that." The life of the citizens under your leadership is better than any place in Yamenan, and the power of Omega is even more so. Only those who are greedy will push their noses and face their faces, and they will not be satisfied."
"Are you an alpha?" An Xu said, "Are you married?"
"No."
"Imagine, if you are married and your spouse asks you to quit your job and go home to take care of your children, would you be willing?"
"It's impossible!" the official said anxiously, "My salary can support the family, but the salary of an omega can't. Besides, I won't 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 such a request. The other party drank heavily and beat you when he was drunk."
"This, this is ridiculous!" The official said angrily, "I will definitely divorce such an omega! Even if I don't get married in my life, I won't marry such a person!"
"What if the law stipulates that you are not allowed to divorce the other party?"
"My lord!" said the officer, angrily, "you cannot issue such a decree! It is unjust!"
"I think so too." An Xu nodded, "Then, if the situation is reversed, why can you feel at ease about it?"
Everyone knew that Omega enjoyed 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-third, many well-paid jobs are considered unsuitable for omega; when they are beaten by their own alpha, they can ask for help from the patrol team, but unless they are beaten to death, they will not be able to get rid of their nightmare partner for the rest of their lives; they You can even delay getting married, but you will be pointed at by people around you, harassed, and called a defective product that no one wants, but you can't inherit your parents' property, you can't have children, that's all.
People, including omegas, educate those who are dissatisfied with this: be content! Be grateful! How happy you are.
The officer who was questioned faltered for a long time, and choked out a sentence: "alpha and omega are inherently different..."
"For example?" An Xu asked.
"Alpha has a physical advantage and is more suitable for work than Omega!" said the official.
"Do you want to fight with Chris?" An Xu looked at him with idiot eyes.
"The chief knight is a special case!" The official quickly explained, "I mean the ordinary omega..."
"Put you in a room with an omega doctor, and the doctor will definitely survive in the end, believe it or not?"
"Omegas are not as tough as alphas—I mean most ordinary ones, not ordinary ones like the chief knight and doctors. Most omegas are mentally weaker..."
"Did you know that the pain level of childbirth is the highest? Over the years, most omegas have survived." An Xu glanced down at the other party, "If you twist your balls, do you think you will Stronger than those omegas?"
"But omega has a #estrus period!" The official's crotch# tightened, and hurriedly said, "They will distract the alphas in the workplace, and this loss needs to be calculated into their employment expenses."
"It makes sense." An Xu said, "betas are not easy to be influenced, so firing all alphas will have the same effect."
The thugs who finally attacked Emily were sentenced to three years in prison and paid a large amount of compensation; the guards who were sent to protect Emily but seriously neglected their duties were fired, fined, and never hired by the army. Emily's mood was very stable. She even half-jokingly said to An Xu: "You said it was 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 are very aware of this." Emily said calmly, "more than half of the victories so far have been given by you, and we are very grateful for that. If you can't even seize the opportunity you gave, then It's our incompetence."
On the first Monday of this month, members of the Gladiolus Society went on strike on this day—since the lord was an insider, he took out the funds for this strike from his private treasury with a wave of his hand, and organized a free event open to Omega Theatrical performances, and announced that all omega can play with her salary on this day, this event may be called a vacation more appropriately.
People suddenly discovered that the Gladiolus Society, which seemed to be beaten by everyone and was about to disappear, had grown in size instead of decreasing after being suppressed for so long and withdrew so many members.
The hospital has become quite busy, and more than half of the doctors and general nurses have gone on leave. The few remaining doctors were busy running around, and the patients watched in horror as the medical intern held the syringe tremblingly, poked it several times but failed to poke the blood vessel, and apologized with even more terrified expressions for their teacher to have a rest today.
The factory became quite busy, and the new emergency workers made mistakes repeatedly and made a mess. Those bosses previously announced that they would fire the omega with the same salary, but now they find that so many skilled workers cannot be replenished in a short while, and the cost of recruiting and training is much higher than the increase for those skilled workers. Those ones.
The cafeteria simply closed down, and the few remaining non-omega workers couldn't complete the previous assembly line. Although the multi-party workflow speeds up, it also makes the lack of links quite fatal. What's the use of cutting a dish when the cook is not around? People who are used to eating in the cafeteria are so hungry that they have to look elsewhere for food.
The food in the market is more expensive than the canteen, which is the only choice for many people far from home at this time. But when people got to the place, they found out that they couldn't spend the money they wanted to spend. There is only a little food on the stalls of this store, because the proprietress who usually works with the boss has gone on strike. That particularly delicious food store suddenly tasted terrible, and the guests knew that those delicious pastries were not made by the alpha whom they regarded as the chef, but by her spouse who never showed up.
Some helpless people had to go back to their homes, only to find that their spouses were not there. Vacation includes work outside the home, as well as omega work at home. The alphas struggled to cook unpalatable food for themselves, took care of crying children and the elderly, and were extremely busy. Some people swore angrily and vowed to teach those cruel omegas a lesson, and after a long time of work, they began to worry about gains and losses. They realized that if the other party asked for a "divorce", so much terrible work today (they only knew today that the work at home was also so hard) would have to be done by themselves every day.
On this day, people suddenly discovered how many omegas there are in their lives. They are not conspicuous at ordinary times, but silently occupy half of the country. This is too strange and scary, why are there so many omegas that affect their lives? Alphas can't think of it. Betas who are often onlookers can figure out one reason: Alphas who are born with advantages are mostly spoiled by their advantages. They can only rely on their own efforts to fight for a little bit of fairness. Like a herd of deer that coexists with wolves, it grows strong in vigilant running.
Now that most of the high-quality alphas who are willing to make progress have joined the army, the alphas outside are actually far inferior to omegas.
From that day on, the loudest voices of shouting became cautious. People who are willing to wave their fists at a stray dog to show their authority probably need to weigh it against a group of wild dogs.
Caleb, the head of the Throat of the Nightingale branch, convinced his boss, Rebecca, that Throat of the Nightingale split into a new branch called the Pink Bird. This isn't some shady spy agency, it's a, uh, sex-toy sales company that doesn't get on the table but shows up aboveboard. In the past, there were brothels in Yamenan that provided **** products, but Pink Bird is different from them. It is a company whose main audience is omega.
Do you want to enjoy the joy of fish and water with your lover, but don't want children? Do you want to have fun, but don't want to lose your freedom and be marked? Please buy the pink bird safety #全# set, it will give you a unique feeling! The boom period is hard, but you can't find the one you like? It doesn't matter! Pink bird press #摩# sticks, all kinds of models and shapes, so that you can enjoy the boom period alone!
These bold and hot promotional words were posted, which made people blush and made the defenders fly into a rage. It's just that it's not easy to trouble the pink bird store. If the organization that produces secret agents and spies wants to ensure the safety of a **** #interest store, it's like killing chickens with a sledgehammer.
So the apostles had no choice but to tell the omega around them, what a terrible place it is, and those who have been there will go to **** and be punished by God. As a result, the pink bird immediately enshrined the consecrated statue in the store: The statues are made of high-quality materials, and if you enter the store to have a look, you are guaranteed not to go to hell, but to go to heaven ♂♀!
This made some rock-headed believers feel like vomiting blood, but if you protest... sorry, how do you protest? The priests of the Evangelical Church asked you with a pitiful face, is it wrong to use idols to protect the good citizens of Yamenan? God’s love is selfless, how can you discriminate against people because of their occupation?
After the people who troubled the pink bird were inexplicably unlucky, the moralist could only repeat in earnest how dishonest that store was, good omega would not be close to it. Most of the omegas nodded upon hearing the words, but the specifics of how to do it are open to discussion.
The Pink Bird has excellent advertising services. In addition to the product placement ads made by bards ("The brave man and his sweetheart looked at each other affectionately, and the brave man took out the pink bird card XXX..."), there are also a lot of advertisements stuffed everywhere. Leaflets and leaflet materials are not only flammable but also edible, and can be destroyed at any time; it has a first-class delivery service, buyers only need to send the deposit and orders to mailboxes in special locations, and they will be delivered at the designated time and place Commodities; Another major feature of Pink Bird products is its privacy. Something that cannot be said can be turned into a table leg, a paperweight, a medicine bottle, a book... only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without it.
In addition to the single omega, AO couples and beta couples who have a good relationship have secretly become frequent visitors of the pink bird after a period of time. Throat of Nightingale can swear by hundreds of years of experience in running brothels, and it definitely provides Yamenan's leading humanized service.
At this time, it became impossible to wipe out this indecent business, and opponents began to object with other reasons. They united with those who opposed omega's free marriage, and said with great concern: If omega refuses to marry and have children because of this, Earl Anna's territory will come to an end! No one else! Humanity is about to perish!
Caleb, the creator of the Pink Bird, rolled his eyes and said flatly, "I don't have a #摩# stick to please omega, who is to blame?"
Anxu agreed with Caleb's words, but as a lord, his staff would never accept the reason for this sentence. Mayor Charlotte took out the data and expressed her concerns to Anxu.
From the time when the Gladiolus Society submitted the petition to now, the marriage rate has dropped a lot, and the divorce cases have also gradually increased. Although there are people who immigrated to the territory from other places to support it, but when the number of these people reaches saturation, the population growth of the territory will not keep up with the speed of development, and even population decline will occur.
"I don't agree with His Majesty's blind marriage decision." She said, "But my lord, I don't think the idea of marriage and infertility should be encouraged. If all omegas are so lacking in responsibility, after more than ten years, we will will be at a disadvantage because of population issues.”
"I remember that when the number of immigrants increased, you told me that the supply of other facilities was insufficient." An Xu said, "If you want the newly arrived immigrants to have enough food, clothing, a place to live, and to go to school, Public facilities and teachers and other staff are already very tight, so if you look at it this way, isn’t there an overpopulation?”
"It is indeed a little nervous." Charlotte hesitated, "But some purely physical work does not require literacy to go to school. With all due respect, if arranged according to the average living standard of Yamenan, the existing facilities are enough to accommodate twice as many above the population."
"You also said, 'population'." An Xu said, "I need people, not livestock."
A resource can enable a pair of parents to raise a child who grows up in love and care. This child is well educated and has good knowledge, cultivation and moral character. The same amount of resources can also allow a group of parents to have ten children. Five of these ten children who were raised like pigs died of disease, starvation and accidents, and the remaining five were malnourished and ignorant. Let the stupid strength that can be used as a labor force live peacefully under the paralysis of high pressure, heavy taxes and religious intimidation, and burn people when they are incited. An Xu feels that the latter is a loss no matter how you look at it.
In recent years, the population growth rate elsewhere in Yamenan is likely to be greater than that in Ansyrian territory. But as long as the death rate here continues to remain at the lowest level in Yamenan, there is no need to worry about the difference in population quantity, let alone quality.
Her alchemists are teaching students non-stop, researching tools that are convenient for the people or powerful weapons to defend against the enemy. History has long proved that it is better to improve quality and develop technology than to gain skills in the sea of people.
What's more, it's not reality here, so don't talk about science in the supernatural world, okay? On the day when the army is approaching the city and cannot fight (An Xu thinks the possibility is as big as the Pope waking up and discovering atheism), An Xu just needs to fight by himself. What is a dozen of one? She can hit one billion one by one! This old middle school patient who has not been sick for a long time (?) even looks forward to the feeling of the king having a brain twitch and sweeping all the troops by himself, that must be very refreshing.
"Besides," An Xu said, "birth is not an omega's responsibility, but a right."
=====
This morning in Fort Thunder, Jay, the myna leader who was on sick leave during the observation period, knocked on the door of the laboratory with breakfast in his hand. The laboratory was quiet. His teacher Alva and his schoolgirl Rosa sat in front of a pile of experimental equipment and reagents without saying a word, staring at an empty test tube with bloodshot eyes. Say nothing.
This scene looks a bit scary, which is very suitable for the scene of wizards in folklore, but Jay, who has been running around in Alva's laboratory since childhood, has long been immune to it. He put the breakfast tray on the empty small round table, spread out the hot milk and bread on the tray, and said, "Good morning..."
Having said that, he stopped and looked at the two alchemists next to him with some hesitation. Jay sniffed the air calmly, sniffed his nose a little bit more, and sniffed his cuff 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 turned to Jay, and suddenly eagerly looked at him from head to toe. Even the head of the secret service, who had experienced the stormy waves, stopped his mouth with chills. Alva showed a creepy smile and said, "Come here."
The chief medical officer smiled like a wolf-grandmother, enough to make the bravest soldiers on the Tibes line run away. His student walked towards him heroically, was grabbed by him, stuck to his neck, and asked, "What now?"
Alpha will bite the neck when marking omega, omega has glands near the neck, and the smell of pheromone is the strongest. Jay's face was flushed like a junior high school student. He stuttered and tried to concentrate on sniffing, and his expression became strange: "There is nothing."
Even if it's not in the craze period, the smell of omega is very capable of inciting alpha. Troubadours used thousands of metaphors to describe the pheromones of omega, in front of alpha's dog nose, very few omega could hide.
But now there is nothing.
The test tube slammed to the ground, splintering everywhere, but no one was paying attention to that now. Rosa covered her mouth, blinked her eyes, and tears welled up in big drops. Alva suddenly laughed lowly, sounding like he was full of hatred, and also like suppressing ecstasy.
Jay was a little taken aback, he had never seen such an expression from the teacher. Alva propped himself on the table and stood up abruptly, his fingers slid across the open notebook, with tears in his eyes.
"I want to see," this omega grinned, "who else can drive us out."
In the year 349 of the Cecil calendar, alchemists Alva and Rosa invented inhibitors.
People in later generations described this cross-age pioneering work with various praiseworthy words, and there were also many dialectical points of view pointing out that although the generation of inhibitors invented by Alva and Rosa can control the hot period, it is not the same as the modern inhibitors that have been improved many times. Compared with it, its disadvantages are too numerous to enumerate. For example, its medicinal properties are unstable, and long-term use will cause many side effects, and it completely covers up the omega's own pheromone smell.
Some schools of thought believe that this imperfection conceals the sexiness of omega, which, like the robes of the previous saints, has de-gendered and anti-omega meanings. However, no matter how "anti-omega" it is in the mouths of people who love to sing in the future, this inhibitor has swept the entire Yamenan less than a year after its birth. It was sold publicly in Earl Anna's territory, and sold for a high price on the black market in other places. Quite a few Omegas who did not want to lose their inheritance rights or become someone's property at will began to use inhibitors.
Following the escape of the troubadour, a new way of "disappearing" appeared in the omega in the king's territory.
In winter, Richard II finally could not bear the population loss caused by Earl Anna. The king's special envoy was sent to Bangalore to commend Earl Anna for curing the plague, and to discuss some minor issues. The envoy's name was Oscar. Field, 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-haired alpha in front of him, his face had changed a lot compared to before, but the contempt in his eyes hadn't changed at all.
Oscar nodded to the chief knight and said, "Long time no see, Cousin Chris."
