After Becoming an Alpha Upon Meeting an Alpha - Chapter 9

As soon as Su Cha said this, everyone understood what she meant. This person wanted everyone to board her pirate ship and become people in the same boat as her.

Getting on board before they could fully confirm whether Su Cha could help them was far too risky. Everyone fell into deep thought.

Su Cha was not in a hurry to urge them. Instead, she tried to ease their worries. “You don’t need to overthink it. In any case, Water Blue Planet is already so poor that it has nothing. Following me won’t make you any worse off.”

“To tell you the truth, I’m actually an abandoned child of the imperial marshal’s Su family. Following me will indeed be difficult, but we will share glory and loss together. I believe I can break through the shackles of the Su family and become a great person standing at the forefront of this era.”

She had abandoned everything that belonged to the Su family and was moving forward alone. All hardships and difficulties would have to be borne by herself. She explained these things clearly in advance because she did not want these people, after learning her identity in the future, to lump her together with the Su family and then think the Su family would come to rescue them.

From the moment she left the gates of the Su family, she was no longer part of that household.

Wendy gritted her teeth. She had to be careful. Extremely careful. “Let us think about it.”

“No rush. Go back and think about it today. You can slowly give me your answers later.”

Su Cha raised a smile. “This planet isn’t safe. The fact that we saw a hatched Zerg today proves that there are countless Zerg eggs hidden in the dark waiting to hatch, or perhaps some have already hatched and matured.”

“Everyone, remember to be careful when going out. If you need anything, feel free to come to me. I’ll do my best to help everyone solve your troubles with my limited strength.”

Everyone’s faces changed. “…”

A threat. This was absolutely a threat!

But they truly had no other way.

Wendy said coldly, “Within three days, I’ll give you an answer.”

The little girl, who looked completely innocent, did not know what everyone was considering. She only knew that Su Cha was her lifesaver, so she raised her hand without hesitation and said, “I stand with the planet lord.”

She stared at Su Cha with burning eyes, her heart hot with emotion. “I want to work hard with Sister to build our planet.”

Wendy’s face alternated between red and white. She quickly pressed down the girl’s hand and scolded in a low voice, “Norma, this has nothing to do with you. This matter isn’t as simple as a child like you thinks. Your goal right now is to live well.”

Norma blinked, her expression somewhat aggrieved. Before there was a planet lord, everyone had clearly wanted one very much. Now that they finally had a planet lord, everyone was unwilling to let the planet lord lead them.

Why exactly was that?

She could feel that Su Cha was not a cruel person. On the contrary, the feeling this person gave her was gentler than many of the people here, just like Uncle Zhang Long.

Su Cha crouched down, took out the handkerchief she carried with her, and gently wiped the mucus from Norma’s face. She chuckled softly. “Your name is Norma?”

Norma was a little nervous, but she still tried hard to nod at Su Cha. “Mm.”

Su Cha asked, “Norma, have you gone to school?”

“No.”

Norma explained in a small voice, “I don’t have money, and I can’t stand. The school is too far from me, so I can’t go.”

Hearing this, the others’ faces showed some unbearable pity, and they all turned their eyes away. If they were not poor, how could they let such a young child have no school to attend?

Everyone was already exhausted every day just trying to survive. How could they have the time to pay too much attention to other people’s lives?

When Su Cha heard this, her heart ached very much. It was already the interstellar era, yet there were still people who could not go to school.

Her eyes became even gentler. She stroked the head of the seven- or eight-year-old child in front of her and asked softly, “Do you want to go to school?”

Norma turned to look at Wendy and Zhang Long beside her. Seeing that neither of them objected, she finally said firmly to Su Cha, “I do.”

After saying that, she added with an inferiority complex, “But I don’t know anything, and I’m a useless person who can’t stand. I can’t selfishly take up everyone’s time.”

Although she was still very young, the idea that she must not trouble others too much had already taken deep root in her mind. If she had not encountered the Zerg that crawled into her home today, then even if she fell from her wheelchair as she usually did, she would have climbed back up herself.

Su Cha stroked her head and comforted her. “Norma is very amazing. Are you willing to live with Sister? Sister will find a way to handle your student status. From now on, you can follow Sister. How about it?”

When Wendy saw that Su Cha wanted to take Norma away, she immediately wanted to speak, but Zhang Long stopped her.

Wendy looked at Zhang Long and wanted to say something, but Zhang Long shook his head and told her not to say anything.

They could not help Norma. Now that someone who could help Norma had appeared, why should they stop it? From beginning to end, this person had not shown discrimination toward the disabled Norma, nor had she shown disdain toward ordinary people like them.

Perhaps the person before them really could lead them toward a different world.

Norma carefully reached out and touched Su Cha’s fingers, her eyes full of expectation and fear. Seeing that Su Cha made no further move and did not avoid her, she finally held the other party’s hand. Like a kitten cub that had found its mother, she gently rubbed her small face against Su Cha’s palm.

“Norma is willing, Sister.”

“Good.”

Su Cha’s gaze became even gentler, as if spring water could overflow from it.

She called over 66, who had been outside and had not dared to squeeze in for fear of hurting people, and had it transform into the shape of a wheelchair. Su Cha picked Norma up in one motion. The child immediately wrapped her arms around Su Cha’s neck and pressed her whole body into Su Cha’s embrace.

Su Cha instinctively weighed her in her arms. The child was so thin she was all skin and bones, without the slightest bit of flesh on her body.

She sighed softly in her heart. Too pitiful.

In any case, she probably would not have children in the future, so she might as well adopt one now. Although Norma was a little older and it was already late for adoption, even if Su Cha had been separated from the family, she was still surnamed Su.

If Norma were placed under her name, things would become even worse. It would be better to keep things as they were now.

After placing Norma on the wheelchair 66 had transformed into, Su Cha looked at the people behind them and said calmly, “I’m taking her with me. I will treat her well, so don’t worry. If you’re worried, you can come visit her every day.”

Wendy said with a wooden face, “I will come visit.”

Norma looked at Wendy, hope flashing in her eyes. “Aunt Wendy.”

Wendy half-knelt in front of Norma, her eyes gentle as she said softly, “Live well. I’ll come see you. If anything feels wrong, call me.”

She gave the communicator on her clothes to Norma and leaned close to her ear to tell her how to operate it. Then, right in front of Su Cha, she reminded her, “You absolutely cannot hand this to anyone else, understand?”

Everyone knew who “anyone else” referred to. Su Cha did not say anything either, only standing there calmly.

Norma gripped the communicator tightly and nodded with pursed lips, knowing this was the protection Wendy had given her.

She puffed out her cheeks, her small face very serious. “I’ll protect it well.”

Wendy was amused. She pinched Norma’s little face and said, “Silly girl. It’s the one protecting you.”

After everyone finished giving their reminders, they watched Norma hold Su Cha’s small hand and sit in the mechanical wheelchair, leaving step by step.

And in a place no one noticed, Su Cha secretly ordered 66 to collect the Zerg corpse and take it away. She had a use for it.

.

Leng Zhuoyan, who had been watching from not far away the whole time, saw this scene and felt that this Su Cha was far from the one in her memories. It could even be said that she was completely different.

When exactly had Su Cha begun seeming like a different person?

She tried hard to think back. It seemed that things had been wrong from the moment she herself was reborn. Before that, Su Cha had still been just as detestable as in her previous life.

But ever since Leng Zhuoyan woke up, the other party had also changed.

So, sure enough, this person was no longer the Su Cha from the past either?

“Ah Yan, what are you thinking about?”

Mother Leng patted her daughter’s arm, indicating that they should leave.

Leng Zhuoyan returned from her memories and asked, “Mm. Mom, didn’t you say you wanted to buy ownership of this planet? Did it work?”

Mother Leng sighed. “I originally thought that a border planet like this should be easy to obtain. But unexpectedly, this place was originally a private planet under Marshal Su’s name. Now it has already been transferred to his daughter, Su Cha.”

“We have no chance. Sigh.”

Their family had no better place to go. If they went to the neighboring Federation, they might not necessarily live better than now. So this was fine. She only hoped that this Su Cha would make things a little easier for them.

Leng Zhuoyan’s eyes flickered. Thinking of the changed Su Cha now, then thinking of the Su Cha from the past, she kept feeling that the other party had bad intentions. It was very likely that Su Cha had followed in her footsteps to come here.

If she wanted to live well under Su Cha, unless she died.

But she did not say anything to her mother. She only supported her mother and left.

This planet was not safe. There were still remnants of the Zerg appearing. The empire said it had swept through once, but in reality, the border planet was still this dangerous. It could be seen that the military had not taken the safety of border planets seriously at all.

An army raised by nobles only belonged to the nobles themselves.

She secretly made up her mind that one day, she must seize this planet. Only a planet held in her own hands would allow her to live the life she wanted.

“It’s all right. As long as you’re well, we can feel at ease. As for the recipe book, plant cultivation rates are so low now anyway. Many of the things written in that recipe book haven’t been grown successfully. Even if they take it, it’s useless. They won’t be able to replicate it.”

Mother Leng patted her hand and comforted her. “You must not relax your guard just because you differentiated into an alpha. Those people aren’t good people. We can’t fight them.”

Leng Zhuoyan lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within them, and answered softly, “Mom, I understand.”

“This planet still has Zerg remnants. Sigh, this empire…”

Mother Leng shook her head and did not say anything else, but Leng Zhuoyan knew what she had left unsaid.

If there was a chance, she would definitely fight her way back to the Imperial Capital Planet and make those people who took her family’s recipe book spit everything back out.

Meanwhile, Qu Yanting, far away on the Imperial Capital Planet, had not found Su Cha, nor had she found Leng Zhuoyan. Her entire body was on the verge of exploding. She kicked over the table in front of her, her mind filled entirely with the figures of Su Cha and Leng Zhuoyan.

This should not be.

Where could they have gone?

Su Cha aside, but Leng Zhuoyan…

Aside from coming to find her, who else would take Leng Zhuoyan in? Not to mention her whole family?

Qu Yanting could not understand it. She truly could not understand it.
