Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date
After the engagement ended, the others left one after another.
Ji Anli didn’t leave immediately after Lin Jing was called to a small meeting room for a video conference by the higher-ups.
He stood in the corner as if eating something but was actually consulting the system.
Ji Anli, “Now that General Lin and I are engaged, how can I bind him to gain Partner Points? How do I complete the Touch Points tasks?”
Since he chose Lin Jing as his partner, he wouldn’t regret it.
He was even a bit eager and curious about what these Touch Points tasks were.
When the time comes, with X10, the effect would be amazing. Just thinking about it made him happy.
Of course, another point was that Lin Jing was poisoned and needed a lot of Healing Points to make the antidote.
Relying solely on saving people wouldn’t accumulate enough in a short time.
He had time to wait but Lin Jing couldn’t afford to wait too long with the poison so he had to rely on Lin Jing to “earn” Touch Points himself.
The system’s voice timely echoed in his mind, “There are three methods in total.”
Ji Anli thought there were quite a few options, feeling even more cheerful, “What are the three?”
System, “The first method is for the host and the partner to register for marriage and become a legally recognized couple, achieving the so-called contract partner binding.”
Ji Anli fell silent.
He couldn’t possibly get engaged tonight and drag Lin General to register tomorrow, right?
If he dared to suggest it, General Lin would definitely suspect his intentions weren’t pure. Or wonder if there was some trap waiting for him to fall into by rushing into marriage
Isn’t it a bit too much to rush into a marriage like this?
Ji Anli could only pin his hopes on the remaining two options, “And then?”
The system replied, “The second option is for the host to have a familial bond with the partner to be bound, such as having a child with shared blood from both.”
Ji Anli was silent for a bit longer this time, almost laughing in disbelief, “Do you think that’s reasonable? Is that even possible? If we already had a child, would I still be here asking you how to bind us?”
He would have dragged the other person to register immediately, not wasting a second.
Thinking of this, he had a bad feeling, “Don’t tell me the third option is to… have sexual activities with General Lin?”
The system immediately retorted, “What are you saying, host? How could our [Benevolent Healer Comprehensive Universe Invincible System] do something like that?”
Just as Ji Anli was about to relax, he heard the system continue, “We would never use such explicit terms. We have a more subtle expression for this situation, [Achieving the Human Advancement New Life Plan].”
Ji Anli was speechless, Is there a difference?
He wanted to ask, is there really a difference?
The system said, “These are the only three binding methods. After all, it’s a partner. Based on the system’s understanding of the host, the first option is currently the most suitable and easiest to achieve. Friendly reminder: The toxin in the future partner’s body has been present for 72 days and the antidote is effective if used within 120 days of poisoning.”
Ji Anli understood the meaning that from today, he needed to create the antidote and have General Lin take it in less than fifty days or it would be useless even if he made it.
When Lin Jing came out of the small meeting room and found Ji Anli. He saw him alone, holding a small plate of cake, eating absentmindedly as if pondering some major life decision.
Lin Jing paused for a moment then continued striding towards him.
The sound of footsteps brought Ji Anli back to reality.
Seeing Lin Jing, he quickly finished the remaining cake in a few bites, picked up a glass of champagne and drank it to bolster his courage.
After all, for the sake of Lin Jing’s future life, he had to… start performing again.
Lin Jing thought about what the higher-ups had said in the meeting room and the confusion he saw in Ji Anli’s eyes when he came out.
He decided to give Ji Anli a chance to back out.
Was he regretting it?
If he backed out now, it was still not too late.
Lin Jing said, “Do you have something to say to me? I happen to have something to discuss with you too, but I’ll wait for you to finish first.”
If Mr. Ji chose to back out, then what he wanted to discuss wouldn’t need to be said.
Ji Anli started with a topic to ease the atmosphere, “I do have something to say to you. You know you’re poisoned, right?”
Lin Jing was surprised that he wasn’t talking about calling off the engagement, but rather about his poison.
A complex mix of emotions surged in his heart.
“…Yes.”
Ji Anli showed a not-so-convincing look of regret.
“Look at my memory, I just remembered. The poison you have can indeed be cured, but the antidote is quite troublesome to make and needs to be taken within 120 days of being poisoned.”
Lin Jing was the calmest of all after hearing this.
When he first found out he was poisoned, he had already prepared for the worst.
Now, hearing this, he instinctively reassured, “No problem, Mr. Ji, just do your best. When the time comes…”
He paused, thinking that if the poison couldn’t be cured, they could dissolve the engagement before the deadline, and he would try to find a reliable new partner with beastman genes for him.
Before he could finish, Ji Anli clapped his hands and completed the sentence, “So, when are we going to register for marriage?”
All the words Lin Jing was about to say got stuck in his throat.
He was stunned for a while before he could control his emotions but his voice, noticeably lower than usual, still displayed his shock.
“…What?”
Ji Anli said, “This is the big thing I wanted to tell you. You see, I forgot. You need to detoxify soon, but there’s a very important ingredient and dosage in my family’s ancestral detoxification recipe that requires specific conditions to obtain. I have to get married and use the marriage certificate to exchange for it.”
Lin Jing, “…………”
At that moment, many thoughts crossed Lin Jing’s mind but he couldn’t understand if this Mr. Ji, who looked so sincere and serious while saying the most absurd things, was really not joking with him.
He would even believe it if Ji Anli said he could only get his ancestors’ inheritance by getting married but… only marriage could get the last ingredient for the antidote?
He couldn’t figure out what he had that was worth the other party’s request.
Was it just because of his so-called “terminal illness”?
Ji Anli’s expression was calm and serious.
“I think your poison needs to be detoxified as soon as possible. A marriage, registering for a certificate, is just a formality. Sooner or later, it doesn’t matter. What do you think? Or, are you regretting it, General Lin?”
Lin Jing shook his head.
“…No.”
He originally thought the other party was troubled because he wanted to back out, but it turned out he wasn’t backing out, he wanted to speed up the process.
He suddenly thought of the heat period next month.
Could it be that the other party was afraid that without the certificate, he wouldn’t be able to alleviate the “terminal illness”?
Thinking this way, Lin Jing understood and, for some reason, felt relieved.
“I just had a video meeting saying that we should do a premarital check in the next couple of days. If everything’s fine, we can register for marriage anytime. However, I think today is the first day we truly know each other, so registering too soon might not be appropriate. How about we set the date for the day before your next heat period?”
Ji Anli seriously calculated the time and shook his head.
“No, that’s too long. It’s over twenty days away. After all, you have less than fifty days left to live.”
Lin Jing thought for a moment and decided to ask about the other person’s ideal timeframe, “How long do you think is appropriate?”
Ji Anli contemplated, “A full 48 days, rounded up.”
Lin Jing pondered, could it be twenty days?
Was he supposed to drop the extra days he mentioned earlier?
The next moment, Ji Anli calmly said, “Eight days will do.”
Lin Jing was speechless.
Rounding up, he just dropped the 40 from 48 days?
President An walked out of the meeting room at this moment, her steps light and airy.
Seeing only the two of them left in the banquet hall, she approached with an indescribable excitement on her face.
Tonight was the highlight of her career, a moment that could be recorded in the interstellar history books.
“What are you talking about? Do you need someone to take you back?”
President An asked with a cheerful smile, “Have you decided on the time?”
Ji Anli turned his gaze to Lin Jing, staring intently at him.
Eventually, Lin Jing gave in, nodding slightly in agreement.
Only then did Ji Anli break into a big smile, happily telling President An, “We’ve decided on the time, seven days from now.”
Lin Jing couldn’t help but look again.
Seven days from now?
One day less?
Ji Anli obediently smiled. He said eight days, and seven days from now is indeed the eighth day, no problem.
President An also thought the timing was just right, “Yes, yes, just over a week, then you can proceed with the premarital registration check.”
Ji Anli looked over in surprise, “Not the check, the check can be done tomorrow afternoon.”
He had classes in the morning but he was free in the afternoon.
President An was taken aback, “Huh? Then what’s happening seven days from now?”
Ji Anli dropped another bombshell, “Marriage registration.”
President An, “??”
…..
Ji Anli slept exceptionally well that night.
Not only had he achieved his goal but in seven days, once they registered and became bound as partners, he could finally enjoy the benefits of being a partner openly?
He had it all planned out.
On the night of the registration, he was determined to sleep cuddled up with the snow wolf, imagining himself nestled in that fluffy fur, his entire face buried in it.
Just thinking about that scene…
Ji Anli slept with a smile on his face.
While he slept well, the online community was in an uproar with many unable to sleep.
Excitement was one thing but the shock was real.
From the initial posts filled with doubt to the official announcement, everyone was in a daze.
Oh my god, how many more surprises does Ji Anli have in store for them?
The most uncomfortable at this time was probably the Wen family.
Ever since Ji Anli’s genetic report came out a second time, revealing he had evolved into an SSS Healer, they regretted their previous unilateral decision to break off the engagement.
Now, with the marriage contract still in place, they had no face to annul it again.
They knew that breaking off the engagement wouldn’t help and would only worsen their reputation.
They had to grit their teeth and think, it’s just a lost marriage, nothing more…
But in just a few days, all the projects the Wen family business submitted were rejected, with vague excuses like “unknown reasons.”
They knew very well this was just the beginning and they truly began to regret it.
If they could have waited a little longer, even if they hadn’t been so hasty to break off the engagement, perhaps this rare SSS Healer could have been a trump card for the Wen family in the future.
What a pity…
Not to mention that Ji Chenhao, who had committed a crime, was taken away for investigation a few days ago and still hadn’t been released.
If the evidence was conclusive, the Wen family’s reputation would be completely ruined.
On the other side, Lin Jing first sent Ji Anli back to the hotel.
By the time he finally returned to his villa, it was already midnight.
The villa was brightly lit and as he opened the door, the person who had been sitting on the living room sofa quickly stood up.
Led by Manfred who was leaning on a cane and almost wrapped like a mummy, he hobbled over, eyes filled with shock and disbelief as he looked at General Lin.
The others were the same.
Ander was still in a daze.
He had only been away for one night and before he left, the boss was still single.
Now he had a fiancé?
Most importantly, the General had a fiancé and they were the last to know about it?
