Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 360 The Long-Legged Azure Dragon Token (The End)

Having escaped another sneak attack by someone with ulterior motives, Xie Qiong was very distressed.

"I don't have any points, so I advise you not to waste your time."

He was so annoyed that even though he was usually taciturn, he managed to squeeze out a piece of advice.

"Tch! Who would believe that?!" The man who launched the sneak attack sized Xie Qiong up and down, his eyes full of disdain: "I never thought someone as powerful as you would be afraid of me, and even lie!"

Xie Qiong's expression turned helpless. He stopped arguing and instead firmly opened his lightsaber.

Since arguing is useless, let's tell these people the facts.

"Ding--"

The weapon was knocked to the ground, and the attacker retreated in terror, pleading, "You, you, you! Don't come any closer! I know I was wrong, but you're so powerful, please forgive me! I can give you all my points!"

Xie Qiong sighed, sheathed his lightsaber, and was about to step forward to collect the points when his expression suddenly changed. He flicked out his lightsaber and slashed at the man's feet: "Hmph, so few points? I don't care! Get lost!!"

"Oh, okay!" The man didn't expect him to suddenly change his expression, so he gave a meek reply and turned to run away.

Left behind, Xie Qiong's expression shifted, and he began to mutter to himself hysterically, "Is there any point in you doing this?"

"This is interesting, don't you think it's fun? Besides, you shouldn't have forgotten, right? My mission was to make sure you didn't get a single point! Look how well I did it!" Zhu Ye said with a hint of smugness.

"We had an agreement, but I didn't expect you to do this... I thought you would let me participate in the competition fairly and justly!"

Xie Qiong pursed his lips, his expression unusually tinged with frustration.

"Fair and just? With your strength, if it were fair and just, there would be no need for this competition. You would definitely be the first place winner. That wouldn't be fair and just to me, would it?" Zhu Ye regained control of her body and rolled her eyes at the sky. "Don't think I don't know how secretly pleased you were when we made our agreement. You probably thought you were going to win for sure. Unfortunately, I'm not going to let you have your way!"

Xie Qiong took control of the body, shook his head helplessly, and decided not to talk to Zhu Ye anymore.

"It's all the same now, whatever."

He turned around and continued walking towards the finish line.

The competition was nearing its end, and he still only had a sliver of points left. Zhu Ye had hidden all the points he earned upon completing the mission, controlling his body to prevent him from taking them. He tried to steal points, but the result would be the same as before. However, the rewards for completing the mission weren't just points; there were also many miscellaneous pieces of equipment. This equipment was only meant to help the contestants survive. Zhu Ye had discarded the points but kept these items. Now, Xie Qiong's equipment was incredibly luxurious; he'd be robbed even on the street. Clinging to a sliver of hope that he could gain some points, he didn't discard the items.

"Stop, rob!"

Here we go again. Xie Qiong looked at the robber in front of him and calmly advised again, "Whether you believe it or not, I really don't have any points on me!"

"Pah! Dressed so luxuriously, and you're telling me you don't have any points? Who would believe that?!"

The robber spat on the ground and looked at Xie Qiong as if he were a cowardly, stupid rich man.

Xie Qiong: "...Come on."

……

"Hero, spare me!! Hero, spare me!! I'm willing to give you my points, please let me go!"

"I don't care about your few points, get lost!"

The robbers fled in a panic, leaving behind only a helpless voice saying, "You really are..."

……

After learning that the entire competition would be broadcast live, Yu Liu specially requested a viewing device to project the live stream onto the wall, choosing Xie Qiong's screen.

Seeing Xie Qiong's helplessness and Zhu Ye's smugness, Yu Liu couldn't help but imagine what Zhu Ye's expression would be if he knew that Xie Qiong was now in first place when the results were announced after the competition.

The storm stirred up by Xie Qiong's enemies online ultimately affected the voting results. Xie Qiong, who should have received a lot of support, is now only in second place in the public vote. However, this does not matter much, since he has more points than all the other participants. His three divine beast tokens are enough to ensure that he will remain in first place.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to do for the time being, Yu Liu minimized the screen and opened the voting page. Voting was now open, and all voters had been screened and were of good character. Moreover, if a voter was bribed and a report was filed, they would face imprisonment. The Elders' Council had been working through various means to ensure that this vote was fair and just.

Since Yu Liu agreed to join the Elders' Council, she has gained a new identity and the right to vote in a short period of time. This was told to her by An Ning, the gentle-looking young man.

Yu Liu naturally wouldn't cast her vote for anyone else; she cast it directly for Xie Qiong. What Yu Liu didn't know was that after she confirmed her vote, all the people who could participate in the voting received a message: Fairy Yu Liu Y10 cast her vote for Xie Qiong.

This news immediately went viral online, sparking another wave of votes for Xie Qiong.

……

After everyone reached the finish line, the competition ended. They boarded the spaceship that had been floating above them and returned to their respective rooms. They could either rest or open their personal computers to check their current rankings.

After returning to his room, Xie Qiong sat stiffly on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought. Unlike the others, he didn't eagerly open his personal terminal to check his ranking, because he knew he was likely at the bottom.

His points were already low, and coupled with his performance, he had told his superiors before the competition that his condition shouldn't be revealed. Once everyone knew he was a monster with two souls, no one would vote for him.

He was not suited for that position, nor did he want to. Everything he was doing now was out of necessity. Perhaps that's why Zhu Ye was obstructing him at all costs.

"That's good, I've done my best." To be honest, he felt a sense of relief when he thought he wouldn't be elected.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's really good. Mr. Xie Qiong, who's in first place in both the points and voting, what are your thoughts?"

Suddenly another voice rang out in the room. Xie Qiong looked up abruptly and saw a white cloud floating quietly in the sky, with the girl who made him feel a little guilty sitting on it.

“Hey, do you know,” Yu Liu laughed even more smugly than Zhu Ye, “when I got here I heard they said you didn’t want to be number one, and then you tricked me once before…”

A sinister glint flashed in her eyes: "So, I thought I'd get my revenge, so I added all three of my token points to you. I never expected to have such influence. I just voted for you, and... hehehe, you're in first place now. How does that feel?"

Xie Qiong + Zhu Ye: Confused.
