Chapter 141: Chapter 140: Match 26, "Good Performance

Lan Xingye and another teammate, although they didn’t press the emergency button, had already lost their combat ability and were taken away together.

Only the other five teammates remained in Lan Xingye’s team.

"Shall we continue fighting?" Qu Tong glanced over them indifferently and asked lightly.

The five teammates shook their heads in fear, having lost all will to fight.

The other ten people felt the same way.

Qu Tong looked at the eight live broadcast orbs in the sky, pursed her lips, and walked away with her people.

She had already made enough of a scene in this military competition and had thoroughly offended the Lan Family.

Although she was in the right, not everyone is reasonable.

She believed that Prince Yuting and the Empress Dowager would stand by her.

But she really hated trouble.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have come to take the test.

Thinking about it now, graduating a year late didn’t seem like a big deal.

That madman Lan Xingye, not dying was really letting him off easy.

Next time she meets him as Ali, she’ll beat him up without hesitation.

The competition continued, and with the elimination of Wen Qing, Lan Xingye’s name went dark, leading everyone to surmise what had likely occurred.

So even though the broadcast announced Qu Tong’s name again, no one rushed to hand over points anymore.

Normally, the second last day of the military competition is the most fiercely contested, but this year it was the opposite.

The formidable teams had all been eliminated, and the remaining skirmishes wouldn’t affect Qu Tong’s Star Beast hunting.

Watching the several people struggling against a level six Star Beast, Qu Tong only wanted to say, "Everyone on the field is trash. It’s been half an hour, and the level six Star Beast only has some superficial injuries."

Qu Tong paid attention to the battle with her spiritual power while finding a lawn to bask in the sun.

The audience outside the live broadcast were stunned.

[Good lord! The teammates are fighting Star Beasts to the death, and here the Princess Consort is sunbathing.]

[Everyone else who’s been eliminated is cursing as they leave the group chat.]

[Princess Consort is in charge of finding Star Beasts, teammates are in charge of killing them, the duties are clear, nothing wrong with that, quite reasonable.]

[Princess Consort knows how to enjoy life.]

[That grass looks so soft, I want to lie on it too.]

[Suddenly realizing that Princess Consort is also pretty good looking, seems a little prettier than her cousin Qu Wanwan.]

[Indeed, I attend the same school as Princess Consort, she didn’t seem this beautiful before.]

[Too bad the live broadcast orb is too far away, it would be nice if it were closer.]

[Calling the tech supervisor! Calling university leaders! Can we get a close-up shot?!]

As if hearing the calls of the netizens, the live broadcast orb continuously zoomed in, enlarging the image.

Qu Tong, noticing the live broadcast orb almost poking her face, frowned and reached out to grab it.

But the orb playfully dodged her.

Qu Tong raised an eyebrow and took out her whip from the Space Button.

The live broadcast orb immediately retreated to mid-air and stopped moving.

She had originally thought these live broadcast orbs were automatically following, but it turned out there was someone behind controlling them. She just didn’t know who was playing pranks.

Gong Lingyu, who was watching the live broadcast with Bai Shuixin in the Imperial Palace, burst into laughter, "Tong is really too adorable."

Si Chen shook his head helplessly, cradling the baby, he had called the Interstellar Brain tech supervisor just to take over the live broadcast orb permissions for the competition...

These last two days, he had been nagged by those old fogies until his head was aching.

"I’m really looking forward to meeting the second imperial prince’s spouse soon," said Bai Shuixin, her voice as gentle as water, just like her name.

"Tong Tong is a nice girl, once you meet her, you’re sure to like her," the Empress declared with conviction.

"I think I will, after all, I quite like her already," Bai Shuixin said with a smile, looking at the screen at a girl who was a completely different type from herself.

The freedom and ease in her eyes truly made one envious.

In the end, Qu Tong’s team won the competition with 51,400 points.

Setting a new decade-high record was secondary; the primary feat was that Qu Tong’s team was the first in many years led by someone with an F-rank physique, and without an S-rank member, yet they still won first place.

Mi Nuo also earned a respectable second place with 40,600 points, and his school’s total score ranked first in this competition.

Because of the large number of eliminations, the First Military Academy barely managed to secure second place, relying on a few strong teams like those of Qu Tong, Lan Xingye, and Xie Ci.

The one ending up at the bottom turned out to be the second military school, with Ju Zhongyi’s face darkening from the moment Wen Qing’s team was eliminated, and it never lightened up since.

Xia He, with his beer belly, walked proudly among the other principals, his eyes squinted in a smile.

He clapped Mi Nuo on the shoulder and kept praising him for having insight, for doing well, and for achieving such splendid results!

During the awards ceremony, the first-place prize was personally presented by Si Yuting, which was a redemption card signed jointly by the five major military academies.

Si Yuting handed the redemption card personally to Qu Tong, the cool and delicate touch gliding over his fingertips, whether intentionally or not, it was unclear.

When he looked over, she always smiled at him in a way that seemed both clever and harmless.

But he knew she was cunning and sharp; she had never deliberately hidden it, it seemed she was just accustomed to showing him a more gentle side.

Si Yuting slowly opened his lips, "Well done."

Qu Tong tilted her head slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Si Yuting then distributed redemption cards to Fei Wenxing and the others in turn.

Backstage, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao held each other’s hands and couldn’t stop screaming in excitement, wishing they could dance if not for the circumstances.

Only He Zhou and Rong Yueqing felt quite embarrassed.

"Thank you, captain," He Zhou bowed deeply to Qu Tong with sincere gratitude.

"You don’t have to thank me; this was also achieved through your own efforts," Qu Tong said indifferently, waving her hand.

Rong Yueqing quietly tugged at Qu Tong’s sleeve and said with blush on her face, "I’m sorry, Prince Consort Sister, for holding you back."

Rong Yueqing had originally wanted to quietly give back the reward, since she didn’t lack money or mechas, but considering He Zhou, she refrained from doing so.

"You did very well, what’s there to apologize for?" Qu Tong said gently, touching Rong Yueqing’s forehead with the tip of her finger and smiling softly.

Rong Yueqing really liked Qu Tong like this, always so gentle to her and easy to get along with, which immediately lifted her spirits.

"I won’t be dividing the points among you, since I have no use for them."

"Alright," Qu Tong readily agreed.

As an exchange student, Rong Yueqing could study in the Pharmaceutical Department but was restricted in many ways and couldn’t partake in activities that required spending points.

With the additional 10,000 points as a bonus reward, each could receive a substantial 10,233 points.

After the points were distributed, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao excitedly discussed the recent events.

"Cheng Yao, did you see that? I actually saw War God Your Highness smile at me. It was brief, but I saw it," Fei Wenxing said.

"You’re dreaming. War God Your Highness was clearly smiling at Sister Tong; where do you get off thinking it was aimed at you?" Cheng Yao doused Fei Wenxing’s illusion with cold water.

But Fei Wenxing was too deep in his own fantasy and, still narcissistic, professed, "I was standing right next to Sister Tong, so it can be considered that War God Your Highness smiled at both of us."

Cheng Yao rolled his eyes, "I’ve never seen such a shameless person."

"Well, you have now," Fei Wenxing replied.

"Hahaha!" They all laughed and chatted on their way back to their seats, ready to listen to the summary of the competition.

Student life~

Always involves getting a bit of a pep talk, drinking a couple of bowls of ’poison chicken soup.’"
