Chapter 148: Interstellar (ABO) 02

The ABO system, simply put, divides people in this world into six types: male A and female A, male B and female B, male O and female O.

A types possess the strongest combat abilities in the world; all A individuals can impregnate B or O types.

B types are stronger than O but weaker than A; they represent ordinary humans, and naturally, all B types can become pregnant.

O types are the most delicate and weakest; they can conceive and bear children.

Therefore, upon discovering that he was an O, Ke Yuandao’s heart shattered.

Gousheng, standing nearby, tried to console him: "Master, Madam is an A, and if you are an O, that’s perfect—you two can marry."

Ke Yuandao stared blankly at him and asked, "Can you turn me into an A?"

"It’s possible, but are you sure? I heard Madam prefers delicate O types," Gousheng replied.

Ke Yuandao hesitated.

In the end, after much self-persuasion, he gave up and lay face down on the bed, thinking to himself: Forget it, I’ll be an O. No need to work hard to support the family, just be as beautiful as possible.

At dinner time, a metallic synthetic voice sounded outside his door. The butler robot called him: "Second Young Master, dinner is ready."

Ke Yuandao responded and walked out.

He took a discreet look around the house and realized the original owner’s family was extremely wealthy, giving off a nouveau riche vibe.

"Master, you guessed right. The original owner’s father accidentally inherited several barren stars full of useless rocks from a deceased relative. Years later, experts at the Institute of Technology discovered those rocks were a type of insectoid-resistant, high-performance mineral. The original owner’s father became rich and the family of four moved to Throne Star to live," the robot explained.

Ke Yuandao nodded, acknowledging the information.

In the living room, the original owner’s parents and sister were already seated at the dining table.

The mother was a gentle beauty with golden hair. Seeing Ke Yuandao approach, she softly said, "Yuandao, the exams are over, but you can’t stay cooped up at home surfing the internet all day."

"I think it’s fine for little brother to stay home and surf the net," the sister glanced at him and interjected.

The sister was a fraternal twin to the original owner, also an O type, inheriting their mother’s dazzling golden hair and emerald eyes.

However, almost no one on Throne Star knew this because the sister had strong independence and began taking suppressants at age ten to transform into a B type.

The original owner had inherited their father’s black hair and dark eyes but was equally outstanding in appearance.

"Oh, Yuanya, what are you saying? You’ll soon be attending the Central Academy. You should socialize more outside so you’ll have friends to rely on there," their mother chided the sister playfully.

The sister scoffed, "Do you expect those rich kids to hang out with us?"

"They only bully others. If it weren’t for me, little brother would have been pushed into the water by them already," she continued, casting a pitifully affectionate glance at Ke Yuandao.

Ke Yuandao was speechless.

"You have the nerve to bring this up? You even beat them up, and the parents complained to me," their mother frowned.

"They’re too weak; how is that my fault?" Ke Yuanya said disdainfully.

"You..." their mother wanted to retort but was cut off.

The father quickly intervened, "Alright, alright, let’s eat. Ah Liu, serve the dishes."

A round, home-use robot brought the plates to the table.

Ke Yuandao frowned at the dishes before him. What kind of food was this?

"Today’s menu for the masters includes spicy boiled pork slices, sweet and sour pork, white-cut chicken, soy sauce duck, boiled choy sum, carrot and corn pork rib soup, and dessert is strawberry cake. Please enjoy," the robot Ah Liu proudly introduced each dish.

"Hmm, Ah Liu’s cooking skills are improving," the father complimented, putting an unidentifiable item into his mouth.

Ke Yuanya nodded in agreement, "This spicy boiled pork is really delicious."

The mother patted the robot’s rounded head, "Thanks, Ah Liu."

"No trouble at all. I specially downloaded the latest Blue Star recipes yesterday. As long as the masters like it," Ah Liu responded shyly.

Ke Yuandao was speechless.

Was there something wrong with their senses?

"Little brother, aren’t you eating?" the sister noticed his inaction and asked.

Instantly, all eyes at the Ke family dining table, including robot Ah Liu’s, fell on Ke Yuandao. Feeling the pressure, he used his chopsticks to pick up a green, unidentifiable item—probably the famed boiled choy sum.

He put it in his mouth—no strange taste. The vegetables were soft, like eating porridge, with a slight vegetable flavor.

After finishing one stalk, Ke Yuandao decided he didn’t want to eat anything else.

The only thing he could tolerate was the strawberry cake, at least it still looked like a proper strawberry cake, though overwhelmingly sweet.

"Yuanya, when are you taking the entrance exam?" their mother asked, recalling something while eating.

"I already did," Ke Yuanya replied, "The acceptance letters should arrive in the next two days."

Hearing this, the mother felt relieved. Though her daughter was determined to be a normal B, she would still obediently take the O-type entrance exam.

Two days later, the mother realized she was naive.

Two acceptance letters from Central Academy arrived at their home.

One was for the tea arts department specifically for O types; the other was for the mech department, coveted by countless A and B students.

When the mother saw the two letters, her hands trembled as she shouted at her gaming sister, "Ke Yuanya, what’s going on with you?!"

Ke Yuandao, in his room on the third floor, also heard his mother’s nearly collapsing voice: "What’s wrong with you? You’re a perfectly fine O, yet you insist on being a B? Don’t you know you’ll never get married like this?!"

"Who wants to get married? I don’t care. Being an O is just for having babies, babies, and more babies!" Ke Yuanya answered.

"You..." their mother’s finger trembled as she pointed at her.

"I’ve been too lenient with you, letting you take suppressants all this time. From now on, don’t expect me to give you any more."

"If you don’t, I’ll buy them myself."

Ke Yuandao listened to the family AI and remarked, "Judging from this, the original owner’s sister is the legendary female protagonist, right?"

"Almost certainly," Gousheng replied. "An O disguised as a B dazzling at the military academy, winning the admiration of countless A types, only to be later revealed as an O—this is the most common female lead trope in ABO stories."
