Chapter 107: The Hundred and Seventh Star



Since the second round of screening, three factions have the greatest influence, namely Qianmen, Chumaxian and Qiao. Among them, the Taoists have the strongest organizational power and are about to challenge for the throne, but now the situation has been disrupted.

Chu Qianli did not look for a simulated baby stone. She specifically issued missionary license plates to form a siege on the Qian Sect.

When Huang Jue heard the news, he came over and suggested, "Shouldn't we fight the foreigners first and then focus on the civil war?"

In Huang Jue's opinion, everyone should first attack the overseas teams, win honors, and then fight internally.

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "Then you can go ahead and do it. It should be said that although the number plate of Qianmen has been announced, they still have the largest number of stones at present."

“…That’s impossible.”

"They have learned their lesson after two setbacks. Now they are piling up the stones and plan to put them into the bottle to count when the battle is almost over." Chu Qianli shrugged and said innocently, "Why don't you persuade us to find stones? There are only three of us and our efficiency is not fast."

She knew that she couldn't defeat Qianmen immediately. It was not easy to defeat a larger force with a smaller one. She had to wait for the right opportunity to take action.

After hearing this, Huang Jue stopped talking and went back in a hurry to catch up on the progress.

Mei Ru Z watched Huang Jue leave and said in surprise, "This guy actually has some simple patriotism."

Huang Jue has always been at loggerheads with the Qian Sect, but now he regards them as his peers. He also suggests that they should attack the overseas teams first, and even comes to persuade Chu Qianli and others.

"So people are very complicated. Those who talk about kindness and justice may not really be kind and justice, and those who talk about cunning and meanness may not really be cunning and mean. Only when they are forced into a dead end, they can know what is black and white. Normally, they are just talking nonsense." Chu Qianli said, "But we are jumping out of the game now."

She said leisurely, "They just want to see us fight, so we'll show them. After all, it's just a game of suppression, and the end of the game is another matter, so don't take it seriously."

Lin does not want Qianmen to excel, as this represents a conflict of interest between the two parties.

Chu Qianli simply took advantage of the situation. She could attack Qianmen now, but what would happen next was still uncertain.

This badge is not important, the key is the relic key.

Tan Muxing saw through her true nature and whispered, "...but I always feel like you're just acting like you're in a real match during your exhibition match."

No matter how much the kid said it was just a game, she was definitely rude when she took action.

"It's better to lose to me than to others." Chu Qianli muttered. She looked around the situation and didn't see A. She added, "And now the difficult ones are the other outsiders."

Lin has a disagreement with Qianmen and doesn't want the other party to show up. Chu Qianli deliberately suppresses Qianmen to observe other people's reactions.

Huang Jue and Qiao probably didn't know about the key, which is why they attached importance to the special selection results.

What is more puzzling is that A and Lilith don't seem to care about the selection process, as to what roles they will play respectively. They either know the inside story or have other plans.

It is said that it is easy to judge the outcome of an event, but it is difficult to judge whether a person is good or bad. This is because people are changing all the time, just like flowing water, which basically never stops.

Add to that the unidentified and well-trained teams in the villa area, and things become even more complicated.

After Chu Qianli finished thinking about the current power, she made a random guess and started searching on her phone: "Let me check the phone number first."

Tan Muxing was curious: "What phone number?"

"12399." Chu Qianli touched his chin, "It's easy to remember."

After a while, the three began to look for their respective number plates according to the hexagrams. Tan Muxing and Mei Ru Z's number plates were found, but Chu Qianli's number plate was nowhere to be found.

"No." Tan Muxing moved the chair back to its original position and started searching on the bookshelf again. "Is it here?"

Chu Qianli pinched her fingers again, her face changed slightly, and she said softly: "It was taken away."

"It looks like they know who did it." Meiru Z held two number plates between her fingers. "Fortunately, we left some behind as well."

The three of them had just been looking for the Qianmen Taoist's license plate, but unexpectedly Chu Qianli's license plate was taken away.

Chu Qianli took the number plate and said, "This will be used last. They will definitely put the stone into the bottle at the right time. It will probably take until the last moment of the countdown."

Tan Muxing: "But your license plate was taken away and then replaced again."

Before the countdown ends, the Taoists will put the accumulated stones into the bottle. Chu Qianli and others want to use the number plates at the right time to replace the opponent's simulated baby stones at the critical moment.

However, now her license plate is lost and may have been replaced, so she has nothing left.

"That's not necessarily true." Chu Qianli tilted her head and glanced at Tan Muxing. "After all, they were trying to steal the Star badge."

"…It can't be considered robbery."

Chu Qianli looked Tan Muxing up and down. She suddenly reached out her hand and started groping in his coat pocket.

Tan Muxing seemed to be used to it; he stood there quietly while being turned over.

Chu Qianli took out the rubber band and earphones from her left pocket. She realized that the things she found were not right, so she reached into her right pocket and said, "I found the wrong thing."

Meiru Z witnessed this and said calmly, "Why are your things in his pockets? Doraemon's pockets are only for his own props."

She felt that some of the things clearly did not belong to Tan Muxing.

"But those props were carried by Doraemon, but Nobita used them more."

Mei Ru Z was speechless: "..."

Chu Qianli took out the empty vial from his pocket and said happily, "Found it."

Tan Muxing saw the bottle cap clearly and hesitantly reminded: "This is..."

“That’s it.”

As the end of the competition drew closer, the Taoists came back one after another to meet up. They gathered the stones together, waiting to finally bottle them.

Liu Jun: "Although the rhythm was disrupted at the beginning, it should be more than the other two teams."

Huang Jue and Qiao's team was formed later, and indeed they did not have the tacit cooperation of the Qian Sect, so their collection speed was slightly inferior.

Xu Zaiyuan took the stone from the other person's hand, but he did not put it into the bottle. Instead, he stood there and waited quietly.

Seeing that he was motionless, Liu Jun reminded him, "Zaiyuan, aren't you going to bottle it yet? The time is almost up."

Xu looked around and whispered, "It's almost here."

Not far away, Chu Qianli was hiding in the dark and noticed that Xu Zaiyuan had not made any movement for a long time. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and muttered, "Good guys, squat together."

The three wanted to wait for the Taoists to fill the bottles and count before using the number plates, but Xu Zaiyuan and the others were already prepared, and the three who were also waiting there brought the number plates over.

Tan Muxing looked down at his watch and said, "Only a few minutes left."

Meiru Z: "They won't just not bottle the water and end up being defeated by the other two teams."

If Qianmen drags out the countdown, maybe Huang Jue or Qiao will win.

Chu Qianli stared at the Taoists and said decisively: "Impossible, it's hard to say whether they want to win or not, but he definitely wants to win."

The fact that he had to draw his sword to get the badge shows that he is very competitive. Although he doesn't show it on the outside, he is very competitive inside.

Tan Muxing was stunned: "Why?"

“Because I’m unwilling to accept this.”

Tan Muxing was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand.

Chu Qianli pondered for a few seconds, lowered his eyes and said: "After all, I have sacrificed so much for this, and this is the only thing I can show for it. If I lose to others on this point, then there will really be nothing left."

The price of her talent is a short life, and Xu Zaiyuan is bound to have flaws.

Possessing this kind of power is like making a deal with the devil, requiring you to pawn all your valuables in exchange for it. Even this deal is completed at birth, without considering your opinion or caring whether you are willing or not.

So if you are unwilling to lose, then you have to deny everything.

Others don't understand this feeling, but she knows it very well.

Meiru Z saw what Xu Zaiyuan was doing and reminded him, "He bottled it."

Chu Qianli quickly leaned forward, took out her number plate, and confirmed, "Is it number 21?"

Tan Muxing had good eyesight. He carefully observed it and nodded: "It's his bottle."

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "It's true. He wants to win too much."

If Xu Zaiyuan doesn't want to win that badly, then they still need to work harder.

Xu Zaiyuan put the stones into the bottle, keeping an eye on the time, and then he shouted, "I know where you are."

The three of them simply stopped hiding and came out openly.

One minute left.

Liu Jun saw Chu Qianli and the others, and he recognized the key owner Mei Ru Z, and said with difficulty: "I don't think our positions conflict."

Liu Jun and others still need the key in Mei Ru Z's hand, but they didn't expect that they would relentlessly pursue Qianmen.

Chu Qianli said obediently: "No conflict, if you lose once, we won't conflict."

Liu Jun: “?” What kind of words are you talking about?

Xu Zaiyuan said calmly, "I thought you had already known from the divination that you were not the first in the selection today."

Xu Zaiyuan had been prepared in advance. He took away Chu Qianli's No. 115 plate first. As long as he used it after she used the plate, he could get the simulated baby stone back.

Chu Qianli took out Xu Zaiyuan's number plate. She shook the number 21 plate and said slowly, "Really? Did you figure out that you are number one?"

Xu Zaiyuan was silent for a moment, then replied, "If you can keep your composure, you will be the first."

The result of the divination is half win and half lose. The suggestion is to remain calm and advance and retreat properly, and you will achieve the final victory.

So he chose to wait until the end.

Thirty seconds left.

Chu Qianli held the cap of the vial with his left hand, covering the number on top, and took out card number 16 with his right hand. He placed it next to the electronic instrument and swiped it, which produced a beeping sound.

She thought for a moment, "So that's how it is. You really believe in your own divination."

The number plate has been used up and the stone in bottle No. 21 must be replaced.

Fifteen seconds left.

"Don't you believe it?" Xu Zaiyuan said firmly, "You have never made a mistake in your calculations, have you?"

Xu Zaiyuan took out Chu Qianli's No. 115 card, placed it on the bottle mouth and swiped the card, which also emitted a beeping sound.

The two exchanged the stones in the bottles.

Chu Qianli smiled and said, "Sorry, we are a little different. Sometimes I still hope that I have made a mistake."

Xu Zaiyuan was stunned.

The countdown is over!

A bell rang near the Tingfengxiyu Building, announcing that the counting bottle had stopped working!

Xu Zaiyuan: "You lose."

Chu Qianli shook her head: "No, you lost."

You must be deeply confused.

At this time, Shi Zhuoqu announced the results through the radio: "The selection time has officially ended. Please return to the lobby on the first floor. As of now, the first place is candidate No. 116..."

Liu Jun was surprised and said, "Zaiyuan, not you."

"But it's not her either." Xu Zaiyuan reacted suddenly. He subconsciously looked at Tan Muxing and said hesitantly, "Number 116 is..."

Chu Qianli revealed the number 116 on the bottle cap. Her digital plate was number 115. This was obviously Tan Muxing's bottle!

No. 115 is an empty bottle, so you must use No. 115 brand in Yuan. Of course, you get nothing in return!

"This is Xingxing's badge, and it must be returned to Xingxing." Chu Qianli said calmly, "You just misunderstood one thing. I did not make a mistake in my divination, but we do things differently. You read fortunes, and I read people. Compared to the divination, I trust people more."

Compared to fortune-telling, she is better at predicting people and grasping human nature.

There is nothing wrong with Xu Zaiyuan's divination. As long as you keep your composure, you can win. However, people cannot overcome their weaknesses just by receiving advice. Otherwise, why would they need to practice?

Xu Zaiyuan's expression suddenly changed and he fell silent for a moment, unable to describe his feelings at the moment.

He didn't lose her, he lost himself, which was even more frustrating!

Liu Jun hurriedly comforted: "In the future..."

Chu Qianli immediately tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, games come first, friendship comes second, we can talk about friendship now!"
