Chapter 75 Can I kiss your cheek?
Qiao Mei: "......."
Just what I feared most has happened!
Just as he was about to reluctantly summon the Ghost Assassin mech to take Xingxing out for a gamble, he saw the Sniper God raise the mech's head. Then, when his partner, Ashang, asked him what was wrong, he concealed the fact that he had seen Qiao Mei and Xingxing, turned around, and left...
Qiao Mei: ? ? ?
Xingxing also saw this scene and was so excited that he wanted to speak directly underwater, but Qiao Mei quickly covered his mouth and stopped him with her eyes.
After all, the sniper god has a teammate by his side. What if that teammate doesn't want to let them go?
After the sniper god and Ashang had gone far away, Qiao Mei, just to be on the safe side, pulled Xingxing to another place. Only after confirming that there were no people around did she start talking to Xingxing in the oxygen circle she created with her water-type familiar's superpower.
"That's strange. Why is he pretending not to see us? With their current strength, if they really faced us, our chances of winning wouldn't even reach 50%."
Xingxing was also completely bewildered: "I don't know. Does it think we're too weak and disdain to attack us?"
Qiao Mei disagreed. After all, the fewer players there were on the field, the greater the chance that the sniper team would survive to the end. In addition, her previous performance showed that she was quite capable. If she had more time to recover from her injuries, she would be a hidden threat to him.
But she couldn't figure out why the sniper god would let them go, so she didn't continue the conversation with Xingxing and instead kept her eyes on the survivor slots on her smartwatch.
"We've reached 112 already. If we hold on a little longer, we'll be in the top 100. Then you can choose to withdraw from the competition with me or just play it safe a little longer."
Qiao Mei shook her head, which was experiencing another bout of dizziness, and tried her best to maintain the oxygen-water ring that she was releasing using her mental energy as her source.
Seeing that Qiao Mei was in such a bad mood, Xingxing suggested that he go up instead. He didn't necessarily have to make it into the top 100; it wouldn't matter if he was eliminated early.
"If you bring two people, you'll need to use more mental energy to maintain this oxygen-filled water ring. I'd better go up."
As Xingxing was about to swim upwards, Qiao Mei grabbed one corner of her hand: "No need. Didn't you mention before that you really wanted a B-grade or higher mecha? If you get into the top 100, you can get a full-price discount coupon for any B+ grade mecha. Don't you want that?"
Xingxing had only mentioned this to Qiao Mei casually, but seeing that she still remembered it so clearly, she stared at "his" pale, delicate boyish face for a while, then suppressed the warmth that welled up in her heart and mumbled an "Mmm".
Shu Qingqing watched this scene from outside the screen, sighed that Rose was handsome and kind-hearted, and then looked at the rapidly decreasing number of participants, and started rubbing her hands together.
"Family members, after Rose and Star leave the stage, Qingqing's live stream will be shut down. Don't ask questions, just think about how to squander such a large sum of money."
Shu Qingqing wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and the image of two interstellar coins appeared in her eyes as she counted on her fingers the amount of money she could get from the betting later.
Five more minutes passed, and the number of survivors remaining on the sky had decreased to exactly one hundred.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei pulled Xingxing out of Mirror Lake, and before their opponents spotted them, she and Xingxing pressed the button to exit the arena. Their scores were frozen at 99 and 100 respectively.
[Congratulations! You've ranked in the top 100! Your reward of 50,000 Star Coins and a full-price voucher for any B+-class mech will be sent to your email address at 8:00 AM the day after the competition concludes. Thank you for your participation; this is proof of your honor.]
After removing the connector and carefully putting away the certificate of honor that had her competition number and ID name on it, Qiao Mei immediately rushed to the toilet to vomit violently.
It contained blood, as well as some of the things she had eaten before.
When Ao Cang followed, he saw that the girl's once beautiful face had lost most of its color, and she looked listless, like a rose about to wither after a storm, which made him feel sorry for her.
He blinked his golden eyes, thought for a moment, and then transformed into human form, which could only be maintained for half an hour.
"An'an, are you alright?"
Qiao Mei felt like she was about to vomit bile. When she heard Ao Cang's question, she instinctively wanted to say that she was fine, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a pair of long, straight legs appear beside her.
Looking up, the pants that should have been worn by the eight-year-old Ao Cang were stretched to the point of resembling swim trunks, not to mention the top.
His bulging pectoral muscles burst through his pajamas, revealing a section of pale skin with a faint hint of pink.
After realizing what it was, Qiao Mei was stunned for a while before immediately changing her mind.
"Oh no, my head hurts so much, and I feel like I can't even stand up..."
As expected, Ao Cang fell for the trap. Seeing that she was about to fall onto the bathroom floor tiles as she was talking, he took a few long strides to her side and hugged her petite body. His shoulder-length silver curly hair then hit Qiao Mei's face and neck.
The strong masculine scent made her body feel hot, and her legs, which were actually able to stand up, felt a little weak.
She opened her eyes to look at the beautiful face so close to hers, suppressing her heart pounding like a drum, blinked her red eyes, and asked him, "Cangcang, can you carry me out? After you carry me out, you can turn back into a child. Forcing yourself to be an adult for too long is too much of a drain on your energy, isn't it?"
