After a rebirth, Qu Tong cried her eyes out; her vast fortune was gone, and she even owed a hundred million in taxes. She was forced to accept a cheap husband her cousin didn't want—who was i...
Chapter 354 Star Beast Invasion
"Brother Yang, what should we do? They're not really going to refuse to give us any points, are they?" Hu Xiao asked anxiously.
Kong Yang clenched his fist, his face a mixture of anger and panic: "Absolutely not."
There are 300,000 points in the computer. If they are divided equally, each person can get more than 30,000 points, which is more than 300,000 star coins.
The second young lady is right. These rich people simply don't understand what 300,000 star coins mean to them.
They weren't even told that one Glory Point could be exchanged for 10 Star Coins.
I recall the disdainful looks they gave me at the end.
Resentment robbed him of even the last shred of his guilt.
They even felt a sense of satisfaction.
So what if he's rich? So what if I look down on him? He'll still fail the course with me anyway.
“Someone will definitely help us.” Kong Yang suddenly said with certainty.

On the other side, everyone, including Qu Tong, looked rather grim.
No one expected that they would be eliminated for such a dramatic reason.
Although the points still belong to them and won't be cleared, no one is happy about it.
"It's all my fault. I misjudged people, which allowed those two bastards to take advantage of the situation." Cheng Yao felt extremely guilty.
"It's my fault for not catching the quantum computer, which caused everyone to be eliminated." Fei Wenxing grabbed his short flaxen hair in frustration, his eyes red and on the verge of tears: "Sister Tong, hit me, it will make me feel better."
"Alright, this is none of your business," Qu Tong interrupted their self-pity.
I was involved in this whole affair. If I had gone with the school's spaceship, I might have been able to prevent Lan Xingye from interfering.
If I had handed the quantum computer over to Xu An earlier, it might not have fallen into Kong Yang's hands.
But there are no "what ifs".
"Afterwards, I will ask my supervisor to access the monitoring data. They didn't contribute much, so they won't get many points."
She originally planned to divide it equally like last time, but some people were clearly not worthy.
"That's too lenient on them. They shouldn't have received a single cent," Fei Wenxing said indignantly.
Which team has as many points as them? No matter what, they've come out ahead.
Qu Tong didn't want to continue this topic and changed the subject: "You did poorly on the midterm exams, let's think about how to improve your final exam scores?"
There is no other way.
The exam rules are there; you have to accept the consequences.
When this was mentioned, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao's heads drooped.
"Xu An, Song Ke, do you have confidence?" Cheng Yao looked at the two most likely candidates.
Xu An shook his head with a heavy expression.
Song Ke remained calm throughout: "My theoretical scores are okay, but I'm having some trouble in real-world situations."
Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with despair.
See? Neither Xu An nor Song Ke are confident, not to mention their terrible theoretical scores. Getting a perfect score in the actual competition is a complete pipe dream.
Although He Zhou was somewhat disappointed, it was still within an acceptable range.
Without them, I wouldn't even be able to graduate.
"Everyone should go back and rest early. After this matter settles down, I'll invite you to visit Luo Yi Star," Qu Tong comforted them.
"Yay!"
"I want to eat lychees, grapes, and a big watermelon!"
"Anything is fine, as long as I can eat it."
"Then I'll have to go hungry for two meals before I go."
"You can go hungry for three days without any problem."
Talking about happy things immediately dispelled everyone's gloomy mood.
The school set up simple temporary dormitories. Because of her status, Qu Tong was assigned a room by herself and did not have to squeeze into a four-person room.
After enduring six days of wind and rain outdoors, Qu Tong finally took a comfortable shower and drank the intermediate-level nutrient solution that had been uniformly distributed.
However, I still couldn't get a good night's sleep.
In an unfamiliar environment, right under the noses of wolves and tigers, she couldn't sleep soundly no matter how tired she was.

As dawn broke and the morning was still, Qu Tong suddenly opened her eyes wide, her gaze flashing sharply in an instant.
After waiting for a while, Qu Tong got up, drew back the curtains, picked up a blue and white scale from outside the window, and her eyes gradually turned cold.
Qu Tong looked at the densely packed dormitories around her, hesitated for a moment, then gripped the scales and flipped out of the dormitory, heading in the direction where the figure had just disappeared.
"I'd rather see her get betrayed by her teammates than score points."
I had only walked a short distance when I faintly heard Lan Weiying's voice.
In addition, there are Lan Xingrui and Kong Yang.
Qu Tong prepared to move closer to listen carefully to what they were saying.
As soon as he released his spiritual power, he sensed something was wrong.
A powerful star beast is approaching!
At least level eight!
Qu Tong glanced at the scales in her hand and understood.
Without saying a word, he used the scales as a hidden weapon and flew them towards Lan Weiying.
"who!"
Lan Xingrui sensed something was wrong and intercepted the attack just before the scales reached Lan Weiying's face.
The scales were struck by mental energy and shattered into pieces.
As if sensing something, a bell-like cry rang out from very close range.
The commotion was so great that the camp immediately sounded the alarm.
Qu Tong threw out the scales and immediately ran towards the camp.
However, the star beast was very fast. Its huge body scraped the ground, crushing many thick trees, and it attacked the place where Lan Xingrui had just stood with overwhelming force.
Lan Xingrui and Lan Weiying dodged immediately, and Lan Xingrui's soldiers also took Kong Yang away.
The star beast raised its head high, its blood-red eyes coldly staring at Lan Xingrui and his group.
Qu Tong could now see the star beast's appearance clearly. It looked similar to the electric snake, but this one was bigger and stronger. It was grayish-white, and the electric patterns on its abdomen were blood red.
The energy fluctuations around him were very weak; she would hardly notice them unless she was very close.
Lan Xingrui and Lan Weiying also noticed Qu Tong, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.
As soon as the electric snake opened its mouth, a ball of lightning flew towards Lan Xingrui and the others.
"A ninth-tier star beast!"
"How could there be a ninth-tier star beast near the examination hall?"
"There are people outside! It's Commander Feng!"
“There are other students!”
The instructors and students in the camp were also drawn out by the noise, but they didn't dare to leave the camp's protective fence.
Fei Wenxing and the others also spotted Qu Tong and anxiously waved and shouted, "Sister Tong, why did you run out? Come in quickly!"
Xu An's hand was also on the mecha space button, his fingers trembling with nervousness.
"Don't worry, we've already sent men to the main camp to gather troops." The adjutant came out with two soldiers to calm the situation.
Outside, Qu Tong looked at the immense attack power of the ninth-tier star beast and could almost imagine how many casualties it would cause if it appeared inside the protective net.
Running now might get you attacked, so Qu Tong simply hid behind a large tree stump that was half broken off, concealing her presence with her mental energy and calmly observing the battle.
"Why are you attacking us?" Lan Weiying asked, her face pale and puzzled.
If she weren't afraid of being overheard, Qu Tong guessed that what she wanted to ask was why she didn't attack her.
"You go first!" Lan Xingrui pushed Lan Weiying aside and went to attract the attention of the electric snake.
