Ju Jingbai's live broadcast room recorded all the words he said just before leaving the virtual environment.
The comments below couldn't help but pile up.
"Hahaha, that's too much! How will those who see your livestream later think of you?"
"Did you underestimate the flow of our tap water?"
"A well-fed man doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. Just now, when I was in Xia Chengxing's livestream, she asked everyone in the room to vote for her. If she wins the title of Most Popular, she'll hold a livestream offline to draw a prize for the voters."
"I just got back from Xia Chengxing's livestream upstairs. Xiao Xingzi was still canvassing for votes, but I ended up watching her long enough, collected my votes, and then turned around and voted them all for Ju Jingbai. Hahahaha, but I don't regret it at all. I just regret not going there in person. I just wanted to see Ju Jingbai's expression when he saw the vote count on the big screen."
Ju Jingbai opened her eyes and looked around. There were other contestants competing around her.
Because her position was right next to the big screen, she could only see the number of votes in the live broadcast rooms of each contestant below. She counted from the bottom to the top, and could not see the names of the top contestants at all.
However, there is no way she can be among the top few.
She looked at the screen without her name on it and nodded with satisfaction. As expected, she was not on the list.
However, she saw Xu Ge's name in the top ten.
"Competitors who have completed the competition, please go to the waiting area to await the announcement of scores and the award ceremony." The sound of a small loudspeaker echoed throughout the venue.
Ju Jingbai stood up and walked outside as guided by the staff.
Before leaving, she suddenly made eye contact with a long-haired boy in the audience. The boy motioned her to look at the big screen. Ju Jingbai looked over in confusion. This time, she finally saw the voting results of everyone on the big screen. She was stunned when she saw the first place in the vote count.
Is there anyone else in this competition with the same name as her?
The next second, the expression on her face cracked, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes. Her grape-like eyes became round, and the image of a plant kept floating through her mind.
"Stop glaring. You won't be able to get second place even if you glare at me." Xu Ge said with a smile. He was one of the first batch of people to leave the virtual realm. As soon as he came out, he found Ju Jingbai's live broadcast room. He went in and watched Ju Jingbai talking nonsense, and cast all the votes in his hand for Ju Jingbai.
"How could I possibly be first? I don't even have a single fan." Ju Jingbai collapsed. "When I submitted my photo, we couldn't find it at home. What I submitted was a digital photo of me as a child with pigtails. I heard that the posters were made with that photo. Can I go and ask the staff to replace it now?"
"You can change. I know the guy who counts the photos. I'll take you to him now." Xu Ge and Ju Jingbai looked at each other and said, "Let's go outside and I'll take a photo of you."
"Are you good at photography?" Ju Jingbai asked.
Xu Ge glanced at Ju Jingbai and said, "You don't believe me? Do you know how much I earned a day as a part-time photographer in a photography studio? Many people paid me a lot of money to hire me. I'm only giving it to you for free this time. I'll charge interest when I take photos for you in the future."
"So how much is it?" Ju Jingbai pursed his lips.
Xu Ge stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred times, time is running out, let's go."
Ju Jingbai instinctively followed. A hundred times? She was a little slow to calculate. Isn't that just a hundred yuan? This...wouldn't it be the same price anywhere else for a part-time job?
"Boss, where are we going?" Ju Jingbai followed behind Xu Ge and asked.
"Let's find a nice place as a background." Xu Ge said, "Just stand there in the corner and I'll take a picture for you."
"It's a bit dark over there, isn't it?" Ju Jingbai frowned.
The place Xu Ge pointed to was under an eave. The green tiles were full of retro charm and connected to a small corridor next to it. There was no roof on the small corridor and it was enclosed on all sides. Only the small fan-shaped windows on the corridor wall let in some light.
So the light at the corner here will appear a little dim.
Xu Ge looked at Ju Jingbai quietly and pursed his lips.
Ju Jingbai immediately became intimidated. She walked to the position designated by Xu Ge, raised her hand and said, "Oh, I believe you, I believe you. Please make sure you take a good-looking photo."
Xu Ge took out his phone and said, "Xiaobai, look at the buds on the plum tree over there."
Ju Jingbai obediently turned his head towards the plum blossom bud sticking out from the corridor.
"Okay, I won't say anything, and you don't move, no matter what you touch." As soon as Xu Ge finished speaking, Ju Jingbai couldn't help blinking. She could hear a rustling sound suddenly beside her, bang bang, and fluorescent spots of light came down from above her and landed on her, shining.
"Okay, we can go back now." Xu Ge's voice rang out.
Ju Jingbai turned his head happily and met Xu Ge's crescent-shaped eyes. The phone in his hand made a crisp click, freezing Ju Jingbai's smile.
Ju Jingbai has a pure look and a small face, which does not look out of place with the yellow cat and the milky white hamster behind her. The hamster set off a small firework, and in the slightly dim environment, the fireworks scattered into stars and fell on Ju Jingbai, which made her look more ethereal with the contrast of her milky white down jacket.
Ju Jingbai squatted down with his cheeks in his hands and looked at the little hamster. He poked it and found it was actually furry and real.
"What is this? It's so cute."
"I made custom New Year's fireworks talismans, a Lucky Rat and a Lucky Cat." Xu Ge smiled, handed over the phone, and said, "I didn't run into you on New Year's Day, and now it's the last day of the New Year's Day holiday, I still have to say hello to you. Happy New Year! I wish you good luck in the new year and may you escape poverty and become rich!"
Ju Jingbai looked at the photos on her phone, shaking her head with joy and showing off her small white teeth. She said crisply, "Thank you, boss. I wish you great wealth and success in the world."
"Good luck to you." Xu Ge raised his hand and rubbed Ju Jingbai's head, full of smiles, "Wait for me to edit the picture for you. This cat and mouse can still play with each other for two minutes. After that, we will go back to the stadium and change the picture. I have already informed my friend in advance."
Ju Jingbai didn't hide this time and let Xu Ge rub her head, but only once. She quickly left, hugged the orange cat, and sighed: "Boss, look at this cat, it's really good!"
After Ju Jingbai and Xu Ge exchanged their photos and returned to the competition venue, all the contestants had already left the virtual environment and were counting the scores.
The scoring statistics of the Metaphysics Competition are the scores given by the virtual realm, combined with the scores given by the judges, in a ratio of seven to three, which is the final score of the individual.
Unsurprisingly, Xu Ge became the first place in this competition.
Ju Jingbai was in fourth place, just out of the top three. The most popular award was originally given to the young Taoist priest who received the most votes from the audience, except for the top three. Ju Jingbai's votes were far ahead of the second place Xia Chengxing by several thousand votes.
On the big screen, the most popular candidate of the previous session was replaced by Ju Jingbai's photo.
The two photos formed a strong contrast. In this contrast, Ju Jingbai's photo can be said to be goddess-level. She is so beautiful in the photo that it seems like she is in two different dimensions.
"Wow!" someone exclaimed and turned a corner to see Ju Jingbai's true face.
Xia Chengxing gritted her teeth in hatred, turned to the fellow disciple beside her, and said, "Isn't it just that she looks a little prettier? Why did you scream out in surprise? That's too much! You didn't even bother to comfort me. I almost won the most popular award! I have to meet that woman at the next competition. She's so arrogant."
Ju Jingbai naturally didn't know what Xia Chengxing was muttering, so she took the trophy.
After finding Yan Rong and adding Yan Rong's WeChat, he quickly called Qin Shijun and hurriedly left the competition venue.
She still had to rush back to school because she had an advanced math class early tomorrow morning. Her advanced math teacher was very strict and would take attendance in every class.
"How is it? Are you happy to win this award?" Qin Shijun said, "For your votes, I even asked all my college classmates to vote for you. Master also set the alarm every day to vote for you. This time you went back to school directly. Master was very sad that he didn't succeed in asking for credit."
"..." Ju Jingbai was in a complicated mood, "Brother, didn't you watch the live broadcast?"
"No, it's the person in charge of the Metaphysics Competition. She always orders me around, otherwise I wouldn't be able to watch your live broadcast." Qin Shijun said angrily, "She can't do anything. I really don't know how she got the position of person in charge! Don't worry, little sister, I will make it up to you later."
"...Not really. I'm actually quite happy to have won this award." Ju Jingbai decided to speak the truth. "At first, I was quite unhappy. I felt like putting a large photo anywhere, anyone could see it, and you could even see my pores, like a public execution. But then I found a photo retoucher and they replaced the one we had put in there to make up the numbers. Now I don't think of it as a public execution anymore."
"Who said it was just for show?" Qin Shijun couldn't help laughing. "Master found that photo of you when you were little. He thought it was really nice. Your second senior brother and I have also seen it and we all think it's pretty good."
Ju Jingbai: "..."
She felt that she couldn't continue the conversation. This group of fellow apprentices definitely agreed with the intention of watching a joke!
Ju Jingbai took the bus for three hours.
When she reached the school gate, she got out of the driveway and said, "Brother, please be careful on the road."
"Okay, during the provincial competition, my master and I will be there to cheer you on."
"Yes." Ju Jingbai nodded, motioned him to look at the trophy behind the car, and said, "Big Brother, take the trophy back and show it to my grandfather and the others."
"Okay." Qin Shijun nodded and watched Ju Jingbai enter the school gate.
Ju Jingbai strolled to the cafeteria to buy some food, and then took the food back to the dormitory building.
Before entering the dormitory, Ju Jingbai felt a gust of cold wind, as if there was something evil behind the door. She pushed the door open and saw a curl of long black hair hanging down on Chuqiu's bed.
"Wow!" My roommate, who was wearing ghost makeup, showed his head.
Ju Jingbai: "..."
"Oh my god!" Ju Jingbai pretended to hold her heart in her hand half a beat lately. She walked in and pushed Chuqiu, who was wearing white clothes and had long flowing hair, back onto the bed. She looked at the female ghost in white clothes leaning against the balcony and said, "Chuqiu, it's fine if you pretended to be a ghost to scare me, but why did you attract a real ghost?"
