Accidentally Choosing the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date
Ji Anli stared at the words “Last Words” next to the automatically popped-up new message, completely bewildered, Last words?
What last words?
Who would send him their last words?
He clicked in and saw a familiar avatar.
Ji Anli sat up straight.
Manfred?
Wasn’t he the legion commander who was supposed to die in his past life?
He quickly clicked in, and sure enough, it was a message leaving last words.
But why would Manfred send his final words to him?
Was he hoping Ji Anli would save him?
He followed Manfred’s avatar and clicked in.
Because they had previous dealings, they were friends on the forum.
This forum also had a feature where friends could see each other’s real-time location if they were online.
When Ji Anli clicked in, Manfred’s account was still online, with the first green dot showing.
He clicked it, and a location appeared.
Whether it was luck or something else, Manfred happened to be located not far from the hotel where Ji Anli was staying.
Knowing that Manfred might already be in danger or about to be, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
He couldn’t just watch a legion commander who protected the stars and the interstellar community die like that
If it were just him, a fragile person, he definitely wouldn’t dare, but now he has two guards, one SSS level and one SS level… also from the military.
So, they should know Manfred, right?
If he asks them for help, would Xie Lie agree?
Regardless of whether they agree or not, Ji Anli decided to ask first.
He quickly got up and yanked open the hotel door.
Almost instantly, two people appeared in the previously empty hotel corridor, dressed as before, “Mr. Ji, do you have any instructions?”
They had been standing guard outside without anyone going in, so they guessed Mr. Ji had some instructions.
Ji Anli didn’t bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point, “Do you know Manfred? He’s in danger and about to die. Can you accompany me to check on him? And can you notify more guards?”
“Manfred? The commander of the First Legion? How does Mr. Ji know him?” Xie Lie’s speech was quick, and his calm voice was clearly not as composed as before.
Ji Anli breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that you know him. He’s nearby. I don’t know if he sent a last message to the wrong person, but there’s no time. Let’s talk on the way.”
The Xie Lie brothers exchanged a glance.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation from Manfred’s last message, they knew that they only sent such messages when they were sure they wouldn’t survive.
If Manfred sent it, he was either on the brink of death or… already gone.
The three of them left the hotel, and Xie Lie immediately fired a signal flare into the night sky, which exploded with a bang.
Without stopping, they headed straight to Manfred’s location.
It wasn’t far, just a five-minute journey.
They hoped they would make it in time.
…..
Manfred felt like he was about to die.
He lay there, blood covering his eyes, making it impossible to open them.
In the darkness, he could clearly feel the blood flowing out of his body, his psychic strength exhausted and feeling his power dissipate.
His only wish now was to leave a complete corpse, so that the last image for the General and Old Ander wouldn’t be a nightmare, but something beautiful and wholesome.
He didn’t know how long it had been when footsteps followed the trail of blood to him.
Seeing Manfred lying there like a dead dog, the leader of the assassins in black sneered, “The First Legion’s mightiest warrior, and this is all he amounts to.”
With a swift motion, a blade was drawn, its sharp edge glinting a ghostly green in the moonlight, poisoned to inflict the agony of a thousand ants biting before death, a fate worse than death.
Manfred’s fingers twitched, trying to struggle to his feet, but he was too weak, barely able to curse, “Bastard… fuck…”
If you’ve got the guts, give me a quick death.
The leader approached, and one of his men brought over a nearby box, opening it to find it empty, his face darkening with rage.
They had been tricked
The leader couldn’t be bothered to waste words with Manfred, raising his hand to stab him in the back.
Just then, a powerful psychic attack struck, and sensing the danger, he dodged to the side.
One of his subordinates, who didn’t manage to dodge, was flung several meters away, immediately suffering a splitting headache and spitting out blood.
The leader quickly turned around, his expression changing when he saw the newcomer’s attire.
He glanced back at Manfred, cursing under his breath at Manfred’s luck, “Retreat!”
He had intended to deal with Manfred on the side, but the newcomer’s psychic strength was too strong.
If he wasn’t careful, the newcomer might protect Manfred or directly attack him. Getting caught and exposing his identity would be a huge loss.
The group quickly disappeared, leaving Manfred lying there like a dead dog, barely clinging to life.
He hadn’t seen what just happened, his ears ringing, and before losing consciousness, he heard a particularly pleasant voice, “Is he really dead?”
Manfred thought to himself, Mr. Ji was right after all. He really was in for a bloody disaster.
It must be because of his deep resentment, otherwise, how could he have heard Mr. Ji’s voice in his dreams?
Ji Anli crouched down to check his pulse, confirming there was still a faint heartbeat, and immediately began to heal him, pulling Manfred’s collapsing psychic sea back from the brink.
But Manfred was too severely injured. Ji Anli could only stabilize his mental collapse, leaving the physical injuries for others to treat.
Exhausted from using all his healing power, Ji Anli leaned against the wall to stand up.
Xie Lie, who had been watching without daring to interrupt, reached out to help but hesitated due to the second gender difference, only watching Ji Anli stand up.
“Mr. Ji, are you okay?”
Ji Anli waved his hand, “I’m fine, just need to rest after exhausting my healing power. You guys hurry and get Manfred to the hospital. I’ll have Xie Jiu take me back to the hotel. Can you handle things here?”
He needed to find a place to lie down.
The newly awakened healing power was potent but quickly depleted, especially since both times he encountered severely injured patients, draining him completely.
Xie Jiu immediately stepped forward, “No problem, the signal’s been sent out, and the security department colleagues will be here soon. I’ll take Mr. Ji back to the hotel first.”
Mr. Ji looked so pale, they were really worried that after finally getting a prospective competent healer, he’d ruin his health saving someone, and they’d be held accountable for negligence.
As Ji Anli left the alley with Xie Jiu and got into the hover car, a group of people moved swiftly from the other side, like phantoms in the night, quickly finding their way over.
When they appeared at the alley entrance, Lin Jing sniffed the thick scent of blood in the air, his expression changing.
Xie Lie noticed the commotion and turned around, initially taking a defensive stance.
Realizing the newcomers’ gaze first fell on Manfred in the corner, he figured they were here for Manfred.
As Lin Jing approached, his familiar face confirmed Xie Lie’s suspicion, “General Lin.”
Lin Jing reined in his psychic energy.
When he saw the security guard uniform on Xie Lie, he didn’t immediately assume he was an enemy.
After all, someone coming to steal, assassinate, or seize confidential information wouldn’t be so blatant.
“Did you save him?”
Xie Lie shook his head and quickly explained, “No, it was Mr. Ji Anli who saved Commander Manfred. Mr. Ji has already calmed his psychic breakdown, but his injuries are too severe and he needs immediate medical attention.”
Lin Jing was clearly surprised that Ji Anli had saved Manfred.
He signaled his subordinates to take Manfred for treatment and approached Xie Lie.
“How did you and Mr. Ji end up here? Where is Mr. Ji? He saved Manfred, and the First Legion owes him a life.”
Xie Lie was puzzled.
“Doesn’t General Lin know? Commander Manfred sent his last words and location to Mr. Ji. I’m now Mr. Ji’s guard. Mr. Ji exhausted his healing power and is physically weak. He just left in a hover car to rest at the hotel before you arrived.”
Although Lin Jing was surprised, he couldn’t worry about anything else at the moment.
His face showed no emotion.
Because he needed to save Manfred and didn’t trust anyone else in the military, he only expressed his gratitude.
He planned to find Ji Anli after resolving this matter, and then they hurriedly left.
When Xie Lie met up with the rest of the security team, Lin Jing had already left.
After a brief explanation, they parted ways.
Xie Lie returned to the hotel, while the others went to report.
Since it involved Mr. Ji and there was such a commotion tonight, it couldn’t be kept under wraps and had to be reported.
Ji Anli returned to the hotel to rest.
As he was drifting off, there was a knock on the door.
He opened it with a pale face to find the Xie brothers standing outside.
“Is something wrong? Was Manfred saved?”
Xie Lie shook his head.
“It’s still unclear. General Lin took Manfred away. This was just delivered to the hotel front desk by someone sent by General Lin. He specifically asked for it to be given to Mr. Ji, saying it’s a small gift, and there will be more to come.”
Ji Anli looked down at the familiar box and opened it.
As expected, it was an energy crystal to replenish his healing power.
He had exhausted his healing power saving Manfred, and now that the energy crystal was sent, he didn’t refuse.
After all, he wasn’t the type to do good deeds without expecting anything in return.
He accepted it.
“Alright, I needed this.”
General Lin?
He must be Manfred’s superior who spoke at the villa last time.
Ji Anli returned to his room to absorb the energy crystal.
Once his psychic state recovered, he finally had the energy to call out the system.
“Does this count as healing and saving someone? How much healing value did I gain?”
In his past life, he owed too many debts for the chance to be reborn.
When he first returned, he didn’t activate the system because he thought he wasn’t naturally evolved with healing power.
Without it, he couldn’t gain healing value, so he resisted the astronomical debt he owed and didn’t want to activate it.
Who knew he actually had it naturally?
Since that was the case, he might as well pay off his debts honestly.
The mechanical voice of the system sounded, “10 healing value credited. Debt repayment +10 healing value. Current debt: -99,990 healing value.”
Ji Anli listened to the string of nines and twitched his mouth.
“I haven’t forgotten the debt I owe, you don’t have to read it out loud to remind me.”
Owing a hundred thousand to the system was something he knew from the start, but knowing was one thing, did it really have to be read out loud?
Did he really need to be reminded?
“Host, facing reality head-on is the only way to help you repay your debt, right? After all, it’s been several days since you were reborn, and you’ve only repaid 10 so far.”
The previous transaction didn’t count towards the debt repayment.
Ji Anli, “How is saving someone only worth 10?”
“Even though the last time was a transaction, how can healing not count as saving someone?”
Ji Anli, “A hundred thousand, how long will it take me to repay that? Isn’t there a faster way?”
“Of course there is, after all, we are the [Benevolent Healer Comprehensive Universe Invincible System]. The host can use other values, like Pill Value, Touch Value, Partner Value, and Offspring Value to exchange. Otherwise, you can also complete tasks, which are great ways to repay the debt. The exchange rate is 1 to 1 for Healing Value.”
Ji Anli was baffled, “I can understand Pill Value and Touch Value, but what are Partner Value and Offspring Value?”
“Partner Value means the values obtained by the person you are bound to spend your life with which can be equally added to the host. Offspring Value is the same, once the host’s offspring are born, they can be bound, and the values they obtain can also be equally given to the host.”
Ji Anli was overwhelmed, “Forget it, I’ll choose Pill Value. What is that?”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a transparent screen appeared in front of him, filled with various pills waiting to be unlocked.
Each pill corresponded to a picture with a name on it.
Clicking on the name would immediately bring up the required ingredients for making the pill, including the proportions and grinding methods, all clearly detailed, along with the pill’s effects.
Ji Anli was completely shocked as he looked at it.
No wonder it was called comprehensive; these pills were probably ancient Blue Star recipes that had long been extinct, right?
When he clicked on “Detoxification Pill” and saw the long list of required ingredients, he was overwhelmed, “Where am I supposed to find these ancient Blue Star ingredients? Am I supposed to conjure them out of thin air?”
System, “These ingredients can be exchanged by Healing Value.”
Ji Anli’s eyes lit up, “Let me see how much healing value these herbs require…”
If that’s the case, it’s not too bad.
When the system displayed the values needed for exchange, Ji Anli was stunned, “I suddenly feel like we’re in the interstellar era, just let those ancient Blue Star recipes be. After all, is there really anyone making poisons to harm interstellar people these days?”
System, “The host can check the touch value. There might be unexpected surprises. The host has a heat period every month, binding a partner not only allows you to gain touch value anytime but also lets you benefit from them.”
Ji Anli, “No, I refuse.”
However, refusing didn’t mean he couldn’t take a look at what was available.
He had the system bring it up, and when he saw the list in front of him, he frowned, “What are these four options? And what are the corresponding values?”
The list showed four options corresponding to touch value:
Level 1 Rare Partner (SSS super psychic power with beastman genes), touch value X10;
Level 2 Advanced Partner (above S-level psychic power), touch value X6;
Level 3 Intermediate Partner (with psychic power), touch value X4;
Level 4 Low-level Partner (without psychic power), touch value X1.
System, “It’s exactly as it says. The touch tasks with partners are the same, but the healing value obtained after touching is related to the level. The higher the level, the more the healing value is multiplied.”
Ji Anli, “I see, but what does having beastman genes mean?”
In his past life, he had a small circle and was usually low-key, not paying much attention to the outside world, so he really hadn’t heard of anything about beastman genes.
System, “There’s a small probability of inheriting ancient beastman genes that can cause psychic power users with genetic defects to unleash great potential in times of crisis, transforming into a second form and doubling their strength instantly.”
Ji Anli, “Genetic defects?”
System, “Although it’s a defect, rarity makes it valuable. From the system’s perspective, this isn’t a defect but rather a high-dimensional evolution, a more advanced species.”
Ji Anli understood, but when he thought about the second form, wouldn’t it be half-human, half-beast?
He imagined it but couldn’t picture it at all.
Ji Anli then went to bed and slept deeply that night. When he got up the next day, the sun was already high.
…..
Meanwhile, Lin Jing had just received news that Manfred was out of danger, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He then arranged for Manfred to return to the villa and started organizing the follow-up matters.
This time, Professor Cheng and the confidential information were kept completely secret.
He had already sent people to safely escort Professor Cheng to a secure location, but the losses were still significant.
Fortunately, there were no casualties
Lin Jing was grateful to Ji Anli for saving Manfred.
Energy crystals alone weren’t enough, so when he had the time, he instructed Ander to transfer a large sum of money to Ji Anli.
He also sent a lot of energy crystals and asked Xie Lie to convey a message, he owed Mr. Ji a life and a favor, and Mr. Ji could contact Manfred directly if he ever needed anything.
When Ji Anli found out, he just accepted it.
Whether he would need it or not was another matter, but he was quite satisfied with General Lin’s attitude.
After all, it solved an urgent problem, and with money, goods, and a promise, he wouldn’t mind having a dozen more employers as straightforward and generous as this.
For the next two days, Ji Anli went to class as usual.
Everything was fine, except that the Empire’s high-ranking officials hadn’t given up on the idea of him marrying into a powerful family.
Somehow, they got his contact information and tried various ways to persuade him.
They even seriously proposed holding a matchmaking event, where they would gather a group of high-quality Alphas with over 90% compatibility, good family backgrounds, and strong abilities.
All he had to do was pick one he found pleasing.
Not only the high-ranking officials but even the noble families were making frequent moves, trying to get close to him and win his favor ahead of time.
Ji Anli was completely overwhelmed.
On the other side, Lin Jing was also overwhelmed by an unbelievable piece of news, “What did you say? A witness for what?”
Ander was equally confused, “I don’t know where the higher-ups got the information, but they said the General has a good relationship with young Mr. Ji. If he agrees to attend the matchmaking event, they want to invite the General to be a… witness for the event, to make young Mr. Ji feel more at ease. If he chooses someone, the General would be the witness for the engagement of the prospective couple.”
