Beta cannon fodder just wants to make perfume

[Beep beep—be careful to dodge! ]

Cleaning robots as big as mailboxes whizzed by, sucking up trash and dust on the ground.

Zhu Fu struggled to sit up from his slumped position, supporting himself with his left hand on the mottled metal exterior wall, and raised his right hand weakly to his forehead, trying to comfort his raging nerves.

What is this all about!
She traveled through time in a very absurd way! And she became a beta!

If it wasn't immoral, she would immediately want to explore the mysteries of the human body.

"What a broken world!"

Zhu Fu cursed, but still managed to extract some information from her memory that was giving her a headache.

This is an ABO world. The original owner is a beta female with the same name as her. She is nineteen years old. It has been less than a month since her mother, who depended on her for life, passed away.

She had just been kicked out of her home by her biological father and didn't take any luggage with her. Yesterday, she returned to her mother's house in a mess and drank to drown her sorrows all night.

Don't get me wrong, this girl is not sad about her mother's death. Her reason for sadness is very simple, mainly because of money.

The original owner knew nothing about running her mother's perfume shop. She thought that her biological father had remarried and married into a wealthy family, so she went to him with great hope, thinking that he would allow her to live an upper-class life.

Who knew that her biological father received her kindly on the surface, but she had nothing in that family and acted like a clown. She finally mustered up the courage to ask to go to college, but was mocked by her beta brother, who said "How could a fool like you deserve it?" In the end, her biological father concluded that a beta did not need to go to school.

This was not the most devastating thing for the original owner. The main thing was that after she was depressed about this matter for a few days, she was called in front of the whole family, and was blamed for ruining Alpha sister's blind date party. Then she was kicked out of the house by her biological father.

Today, the original owner sobered up in her mother's house and suddenly realized that she had no money, so she vowed to make a lot of money to make those who looked down on her realize their mistakes.

But how can a young woman with no high-end skills make a lot of money? The original owner didn't hesitate for long, and quickly dressed herself up to look charming and ready to go out and start her "new life".

At this point, Zhu Fu's mood really hit the bottom. With this path, the identical name, and the unique world background, she instantly knew what kind of person she had become.

As an excellent perfumer, Zhu Fu also enjoyed a normal campus life before joining her colleagues in the crazy internal competition. She was exposed to the pastime of novels.

The cause of the incident was that she accidentally discovered an author who specialized in writing ABO. The stories were ordinary, bloody and popular stories. She read them out of curiosity and discovered a cannon fodder female beta named Zhu Fu in the story. Her role was mainly to intervene in the protagonist's feelings. Later, she was miserably abandoned and had a miserable end.

The same name made her feel very subtle, so she read other works by this author, and then she discovered that Zhu Fu was a fixed villain cannon fodder in her works. Her image was that of a materialistic, vulgar, green tea girl, a beta who was bent on climbing up the social ladder and marrying a good man, and who tried to be a stumbling block to every pair of protagonists.

She had a deep memory of the author's works. After all, this behavior was like a secret revenge from an enemy. For this reason, she even bought a physical book and read it from time to time to remind herself not to be proud of temporary success. Maybe someone was eyeing her behind the scenes.

But obviously, no matter how brutal her competitors are, they are no match for an accident. On the day her private brand was opened for business, she lost everything because of a gas explosion next door.

"Oh~" I have to start all over again.

Zhu Fu accepted the reality and began to pay attention to his surroundings. As far as the eye could see was a narrow street, about one and a half lanes wide. If you called it a street, it would be narrow, and if you called it a lane, it would be wide. That was the concept.

Both sides of this narrow street are painted with mottled metallic colors like the wall Zhu Fu was leaning against, with an occasional hint of pink, which makes it look particularly exquisite here.

The streets were fairly clean, and the air had an empty, unremarkable smell, with a faint odor of food. If it weren't for her good sense of smell, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect it. Overall, it was cleaner than 90 percent of the streets on Earth, and in Zhu Fu's opinion, it was very clean. But that might have something to do with the cleaning robot. Thinking back carefully, the wind it brought had a distinct smell of garbage.

Zhu Fu fanned her nose, trying to forget the disgusting smell, then turned around and looked at where she was. The metal door was tightly closed, and it seemed to be the front of a store. At the same time, she could feel the touch under her left hand. It was not the cold and hard metal, but instead had a hint of warmth. This was probably the material of the ABO world.

[Ding——You have a message from the Business Administration waiting to be received. Do you want to read it automatically? ]

A mechanical voice sounded, and Zhu Fu shook his head, trying to clear his mind, which was still paralyzed by alcohol. Following the sound, he saw the paper-thin bracelet on his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to touch it.

No reaction, except for the red rash spreading down his arms, it was so damn familiar!

But now was not the time to explore that, so she tentatively said automatic reading.

[Dear operator, we have detected that you have added a new store located at 631-5, Zone F. The business scope of this store is: perfume production and sales industry, which belongs to the special industry. We hereby remind you to upload the qualification certification before September 9. If there is a change in the business scope, you can also upload the change information before the deadline. If there is no change, the store will default to maintaining the original business scope.

Hereby remind all respected operators of special industries to actively cooperate with the work of the Business Administration to avoid delaying your normal business activities, resulting in fines or even store closures. Thank you for your support!
September 3025, 9 of the Galactic Calendar. 】

Zhu Fu looked up at the sign of Zhu's perfume shop above her head and sighed deeply. So why did this cannon fodder Zhu Fu's family run a perfume shop? Why did such a coincidental setting exist in such a brief background? Can't blame her for doubting the author?

But the time of the time travel is not too bad. She is now wrapped in a figure-hugging long skirt and a pair of exquisite high heels. She hasn't taken that step yet, so there is still time for everything.

So give up the inexplicable cannon fodder route and return to her old business to make money! Even if it is a perfume shop on the verge of bankruptcy, she is confident that she can revive it!
Zhu Fu's confidence only lasted for a few seconds. After she learned the background information known by the original owner, she could no longer hold back.

"Author, you can come in and be the beta yourself in the future!"

She was extremely dissatisfied. She just remembered the information related to the qualification certification. The fragrance industry is a special industry that is regulated - the reason is self-evident. After all, in this world, the smell emitted by people includes not only perfume but also pheromones. Who knows that you are not putting something prohibited in the perfume?
Therefore, the Incense Industry Guild came into being. This organization is a place where all perfumers must be certified. If you want to open a shop, you must have the qualifications to open a shop, so you need to obtain qualifications and grades in the guild.

In the original owner's memory, her mother was a junior perfumer and always hoped that the original owner would take the exam to become an assistant perfumer and then transfer the shop to the original owner. From this, it can be seen that the most basic assistant perfumer is qualified to run a shop.

When she got here, she found a big problem. She needed to be certified, but there were only three days left! How could this assistant perfumer take the exam? Could she pass it within three days? Could she certify her qualifications in time and keep the perfume shop?

At this point, she only had a sense of crisis, and barely managed to stay calm until she tried to find out more information based on the original owner's memory.

The products here are totally unrealistic!
Although the author took some liberties with the background and the main level was not much different from real life, she did not find anything familiar in the original owner's meager memories of incense making. Even the food or plants she usually came into contact with were very different from those on Earth.

If time travel wasn't so absurd, she would really think that this was a set plan to trick her.

Knowing the fragrance materials is the basis. No perfumer can quickly make perfume without knowing anything about the fragrance materials. For her, this is a perfect strike. In this case, she wants to complete the certification within three days? That is no different from a metaphysical story.

A sharp sound rang in Zhu Fu's ears, and his mind began to feel dazed.

“Just a beta”

"I'm just playing with her, who would really want to be with Beta?"

"That's why she pissed you off."

She seemed to hear the comments that cannon fodder Zhu Fu received, which were contemptuous and without any respect.

This was probably the original owner's struggle, right? She didn't know why she saw such a future, but she could do nothing about the fate that had been woven into her.

Most of the betas in this world live in the cracks, and like story NPCs, they look up to the stories of the AO protagonists. After all, the top of the world is Alpha.

Relying on their strong bodies, Alpha first acquired a large amount of military merits, and then further encroached on all walks of life. In the long run, the top of the world naturally belongs to Alpha. They naturally declare Alpha's excellence and how natural it is for them to control the world.

As for Omega, its status is self-evident because of its fertility rate. Although it is inevitable that they will be discriminated against by Alpha in their careers, there will always be opportunities for "a wife to become famous because of her husband", so there is always an alternative way to live a good life.

This would make life very difficult for ordinary beta people. The original owner was such an ordinary person. She was a little vain and wanted to live a good life, but she couldn't think of a proper way, so she chose that path. But this doesn't mean she wanted to choose it.

Feeling uncomfortable from body to mind, Zhu Fu couldn't help but feel angry. What happened to Beta?
Beta has also worked hard to make a living and has not eaten your rice. Why is the discrimination so severe?

Especially in this special industry, just because AO has pheromones, in order to strengthen control, perfumes must be registered! Beta is the majority, and it is not affected by pheromones. Why should we make rules from the perspective of Alpha?
[Ding——Cleaning fee is automatically deducted, your balance is 351.60]

The bracelet rang again, extinguishing her nameless anger. She suddenly understood why the original owner had gone astray. It was all because of poverty!
Think about the original owner's age. Even in this background, that was the age for just going to college. But the original owner couldn't go. Was it because he didn't want to?

It’s because the passing score is extremely high and the tuition is expensive!

If we remove AO's data, the college admission rate of Beta is probably even less than the 4% undergraduate rate that is rumored on the Internet, so going to college is very difficult for Beta. The original owner did not have an extraordinary IQ or a wealthy family, so it was normal that he did not go to college, and his only hope was shattered by his biological father.

After all, this is a story world centered on AO love, what does a beta cannon fodder need!

So let’s think about how to create a miracle in three days…

Zhu Fu fumbled and followed the original owner's memory, opened the virtual screen of the bracelet, and searched for relevant information about the perfumer exam. Fortunately, it was just a matter of recording a video with a specific program, marking the perfume bottle, and then going to the perfume industry guild to submit the perfume certification. It was almost like saying, "Let me see if you can make perfume."

However, there is nothing to be optimistic about, after all, there is still the big problem of resources lying ahead.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Fu calmed his brain and thought about how to break the impasse. The conventional path probably wouldn't work, so now it depended on whether he could take a different approach from the content that the original owner was familiar with.

After briefly reviewing his memory, Zhu Fu focused on the taste of the food, trying to find a flavor as the main note.

[Insense recipe information detected, the fragrance lab is open, and the user is being bound...

Current progress: 17%...46%...83%...]
Just as she was concentrating on catching clues, a mechanical voice sounded in her mind. Zhu Fu was refreshed. It turned out that traveling through time really does come with a golden finger! God will not let me go!

"Hiss——" Zhu Fu was about to check the golden finger when he suddenly felt his senses return and was brought back to reality by the discomfort in his body.

Her arms and chest were covered with light red rashes. This familiar symptom made her know the reason without even having to think about it. The poor material of the clothes made her sensitive skin irritate! This was exactly the same as her body!
So why think so much now? What I need most is to change clothes...
