I Married A Degraded Alpha -
Chapter 139: The Counterattack
Chapter 139: The Counterattack
Every Necroflutter was gone in an instant, leaving the soldiers and guards on the scene. Without pausing to celebrate, they rushed into the dorms, carrying out the seriously injured students.
"How’s the situation outside?" a student asked.
"It’s all over. They’re all gone," a soldier responded.
"That was quick. You guys are really impressive."
"It wasn’t us who did it, we’re not sure who did."
"..."
Meanwhile, inside the interstellar exchange student’s villa from the Empire.
Jira, who was protecting her two older brothers from the Necroflutter’s mental attacks, suddenly paused and said, "It’s quiet outside."
"How can it be? That’s five full barrels of top-tier attractant. Not only could it draw in level five Necroflutters, but even level six and seven Insectoids. It can’t possibly be over so quickly," Herbert said. Those barrels of attractant were newly produced by the Empire’s lab, costing him quite a few billion astracredits.
"But it really is quiet," Jira insisted, her expression turning grave.
"Did Yuri do it?" Theodore speculated.
Jira shook her head. "Even Yuri couldn’t kill that many Necroflutters alone."
"I’ll have someone check what’s going on outside," Herbert decided, ready to give instructions. But as soon as he stood up, a sharp pain struck his head.
Hmm—
Not only Herbert, but Theodore, Jira, and every student from the Empire fell to the ground, clutching their heads or curled up in pain. Their faces contorted in agony.
They knew all too well. It was the Alliance’s SSS-tier beta who was retaliating. She was striking back.
Outside the villa, Yuri remained expressionless, while Tuss calmly put a coat on her.
When Daleks, Ender, and Hoolin arrived, they saw Yuri and Tuss standing in front of the villa, their presence commanding and fierce.
They had seen Tuss’s killer face before, but Yuri’s icy demeanor, brimming with deadly intent, was a first for them.
It looked like the Empire folks had truly upset her this time.
"Do you think Yuri will kill them?" Daleks asked.
Hoolin hesitated. "Perhaps, probably, not?"
Ender was less worried. "Yuri always keeps the bigger picture in mind. She knows her limits."
Daleks and Hoolin exchanged glances, and said in unison, "I kind of prefer her without limits."
Ender: ".....What a coincidence, me too."
Only after everyone in the villa had passed out from the pain did Yuri withdraw her psychic power.
At this point, not just Daleks and his friends, but the guards and military officials arrived, led by Officer Lyao.
"Did you kill them?" Officer Lyao asked.
Shaking off her coldness, Yuri countered, "Could I have killed them?"
Officer Lyao shook his head. "We can’t afford that. The Alliance is already struggling against the insectoids. We can’t handle another conflict with the Empire."
Yuri cast him a glance, and said, "Don’t worry, I just made them wish they were dead. Not a hair on their heads was harmed, let alone their Sea of Consciousness."
Officer Lyao, sensing her displeasure, thought for a moment and said, "If you’re really angry, you can come and take it out on them once a day." He secretly hoped this would scare them back to the Empire.
After all, they’d already secured the energy stone ore planet for the Alliance.
Yuri frowned, seriously considering the feasibility of showing up daily.
"With nearly all the Necroflutters killed by you, they are of great research and medicinal value. Do you want to exchange them for achievement points or sell them for money?" Officer Lyao changed the topic. He remembered Yuri’s fondness for money and hoped that mentioning it might lighten her mood.
"Sell them. The proceeds in astracredits will be evenly divided among everyone at Military Academy No. 1 today, regardless of their status or affiliation with the Empire," Yuri declared.
It would serve as compensation for this unprovoked disaster.
The faces of those present reflected a mix of emotions. The Necroflutter bodies were intact and each one could be sold for at least forty million astracredits. A rough count of the Necroflutter numbers put the total at around eleven or twelve thousand, bringing the total sale value to hundreds of billions—
Phew— That’s a huge sum of money. She’s actually giving it away. What a generous gesture. Everyone was both astonished and excited about the impending windfall of astracredits.
The next day, when the students at Military Academy No. 1 received this "huge sum", they were taken aback.
"My parents actually sent me money. Wait, the amount seems off. Let me count the zeroes. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven—"
"Holy smokes. It’s over a million! There’s no way my parents sent me this. Whose money ended up in my account?"
"Hey, you’re silly. Just look at the source of the deposit and it will be clear."
"Oh, thank you for reminding me. I was just so shocked by the zeroes, I forgot."
Saying this, the student scrolled down his screen. When he saw the source of the deposit, he froze, then burst into laughter ten seconds later.
His hysterical laughter filled the dorm, annoying his roommates who started to throw pillows, water bottles, and textbooks at him.
"Ouch." The laughing student shrieked, then said in a hurt tone, "If you can check your deposits and not laugh, you can hit me."
Baffled, his roommates immediately checked their own bank accounts. Then, an even more uproarious laughter echoed through the entire dorm building.
"Hahaha, I’m rich!"
"Hahaha, Yuri the Campus Queen sent me money."
"....."
The pain and fear from last night vanished the moment they saw that large sum of money and the word "Yuri".
Due to the Necroflutter incident, quite a few people at Military Academy No. 1 were injured, and the school had no choice but to grant a three-day break.
When Daleks ran over to ask Yuri about her plans, she glanced at Tuss and said, "Why don’t you handle it? Planet alpha has recently had a lot of alphas with critical conditions in their Sea of Consciousness."
In addition to that, her psychic Enova had leveled up, and she wanted to see if her limits had expanded again.
Tuss shook his head, "I am responsible for transporting you. The rest of the time, I need to train."
In these perilous times, he needed to constantly become stronger in order to protect her.
Hearing this, Daleks and the others quickly echoed, "We also need to train."
They felt embarrassed, considering how hard the naturally gifted were working, while they were just thinking about having fun.
This time, the trip to the grand theater took place during the day. Many people got a clear look at Yuri for the first time. She was tall and somewhat slender, but not overly thin, with a well-proportioned figure.
They had mostly seen her in videos before, always in the midst of battle. This was their first time seeing her so quiet.
No one had thought that such a fierce and powerful person could appear so soft and gentle when at rest. The contrast was indeed startling.
Yuri could feel the gazes from today’s alphas were even more intense than usual, but she didn’t pay them any mind, heading straight for her spot. It was a large, soft chair that someone had prepared for her. After every grooming session, she would immediately fall asleep in that chair.
It was just too comfortable.
Over the course of three days, Yuri helped nearly ten thousand soldiers with their Sea of Consciousness issues, each one on the brink of collapse. In the process, she earned tens of millions of astracredits.
