Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 248: Great Xia Lost? Have You Asked Lord Mosquito?
Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Great Xia Lost? Have You Asked Lord Mosquito?
It didn’t matter if it was the Philippines or Yue Country, or how many foreign players were on their teams.
Gu Yuexi was confident that she could crush their entire teams by herself.
However, what if it was two teams?
What if the two teams not only united against Great Xia, but even pooled their final results?
The Philippines or Yue Country, one of them could claim a score of zero and intentionally give all their Crystal Cores to the other team.
In that case, Gu Yuexi would have to face the combined score of forty people all by herself!
Gu Yuexi had considered the possibility of the two nations forming an alliance.
However, she believed they would only team up to suppress Great Xia inside the Secret Realm. She never thought they would go so far as to abandon their own interests and hand all their Crystal Cores over to the other team.
The level of trust between the two nations was definitely not that high!
’No, that’s not right!’
This time, the White Eagle Empire was involved behind the scenes in the Grand Competition!
With the White Eagle Empire’s power, it was entirely possible they could force the two nations into a complete alliance! They could easily eliminate Great Xia first, and then, under the White Eagle Empire’s direction, carve up the benefits of the Ancient Sunken Star Vein.
In fact, the White Eagle Empire’s interference in this Three Kingdoms Grand Competition might not be for the Ancient Sunken Star Vein at all, but for a much deeper conspiracy!
At this thought, a trace of unease finally appeared on Gu Yuexi’s usually placid face.
In fact, even if it was a one-versus-forty situation, Gu Yuexi would have been completely confident in her victory.
But the unexpected early closure of the Secret Realm had cost her a lot of time.
And it was precisely this very rare accident that would likely cause her to lose this competition!
…
On Gu Yuexi’s shoulder, Chu Sheng had already consumed some Elixirs to restore his Qi Blood and Mental Power, but he still felt extremely weak and had no desire to move.
He sensed the change in Gu Yuexi’s emotions and poked her head with his mosquito leg.
But at that moment, Gu Yuexi was staring nervously at the Filipino representative and didn’t notice.
Sure enough, the Filipino representative suddenly broke into a sly smirk.
He put away the empty Storage Ring, and then, suddenly… he pulled out another one.
“Excuse me, I wasn’t finished.”
He shot a defiant look at Gu Yuexi, then began to pull more Star Source Crystal Cores from the second Storage Ring.
Originally, after learning that Great Xia had been eliminated early, the Philippines and Yue Country had been prepared to tally their scores separately and divide the rewards.
But Gu Yuexi’s appearance forced them to unite once more.
And the second Storage Ring now in the Filipino representative’s hand was, in fact, Yue Country’s.
One, two, three.
As more Star Source Crystal Cores were produced one by one, the atmosphere on Great Xia’s side turned frigid once more.
Seven, eight… eighteen!
The Filipino representative pulled out a full eighteen more Star Source Crystal Cores from the other Storage Ring.
Eighteen plus twenty-one is thirty-nine!
Decisively beating Gu Yuexi’s thirty cores.
“How is that possible?”
“How could the Philippines possibly have so many all of a sudden? This is ridiculous!”
“Exactly! That’s more than double their previous record. They’re definitely cheating!”
The contestants from Great Xia shouted angrily.
Ye Qingzhou had also seen what was going on by now and rebuked them angrily:
“Hu’an, Ruan Clan, it was bad enough that your two nations ganged up on my Great Xia Team in the Secret Realm, but now you’re even blatantly cheating with the scores?”
“The Crystal Cores from that other Spatial Ring just now were clearly from Yue Country.”
“Ruan Clan, I’ll bet your team from Yue Country can’t even produce five Crystal Cores right now!”
The Ruan Clan’s representative laughed sinisterly.
“So what if we can’t?”
“Our team from Yue Country had bad luck this time and didn’t get a single Crystal Core. We’ll concede and take last place. Is that a problem?”
“Unlike some countries, which call themselves a nation of etiquette, but can’t admit when they’ve lost!”
Hu’an also stepped forward at this moment and said mockingly:
“Exactly. City Lord Ye, you have no proof. On what grounds do you accuse our Philippines of cheating?”
“I could just as easily claim Great Xia is the one cheating. How is it that one of your members bringing out thirty Crystal Cores is reasonable, but there’s something strange about twenty of our Filipino members bringing out thirty-nine?”
“If you people from Great Xia are such sore losers, just say so. We’ll see if you can afford to lose this much face in front of the world!”
“Besides, you need evidence to back up your words.”
“City Lord Ye, if you have no evidence that we cheated, then the score for the Philippines is valid!”
“First place in this Three Kingdoms Grand Competition belongs to the Philippines!”
You!
Ye Qingzhou was furious, but there was nothing he could do. They truly had no evidence.
Utterly shameless!
By now, everyone from Great Xia understood the situation. They trembled with rage, the hope that had just been ignited now utterly crushed. An overwhelming sense of despair and fury threatened to drown them.
Gu Yuexi stood alone at the very front of her team, biting her red lip.
’I lost.’
’I actually lost.’
’This was an outcome I truly never expected.’
Humiliation pricked her heart like a thousand needles.
The concept of an “honorable defeat” simply didn’t exist for someone as proud as Gu Yuexi!
’I can’t allow myself to lose!’
Especially after she had personally declared to everyone that she wouldn’t lose. And hadn’t she been the one to propose wagering permanent control of the Ancient Sunken Star Vein?
’Was I careless? Were they just too shameless?’
Whatever the reason, Gu Yuexi could not accept it!
An unprecedented sense of failure flooded Gu Yuexi’s entire being, and drops of bright red blood fell from where she’d bitten her lip.
「Meanwhile.」
Hu’an, the leader of the Philippines, had already begun to triumphantly announce their victory:
“City Lord Ye, since you have no proof, I will now announce the final results.”
“In this Three Kingdoms Grand Competition, the final scores are: Great Xia, thirty cores; the Philippines, thirty-nine cores; and Yue Country, zero cores.”
“City Lord Ye, your Great Xia… has lo—”
Before the word “lost” could even leave his mouth…
A buzzing sound rang out.
Chu Sheng lazily flew up from Gu Yuexi’s shoulder.
’So troublesome. To think Lord Mosquito has to step in for such a trivial matter.’
Chu Sheng was already exhausted. He had figured if Gu Yuexi could win, he wouldn’t need to reveal the Crystal Cores in his Lifebound Space.
He never expected it would still be up to him in the end.
“BUZZ… (Lost? Did you bother asking Lord Mosquito first?)”
Gu Yuexi froze, a flicker of hope igniting in her heart as she watched Chu Sheng’s figure.
’Right, I almost forgot. I still have the damned mosquito.’
’I’m not alone!’
’Didn’t the damned mosquito leave me at the end to collect Crystal Cores? The time was just too short, I don’t know how many he could have gotten.’
’Ten cores!’
’As long as he got ten, we’ll win!’
’Ten cores… damned mosquito, you have to have gotten ten! I’m begging you!’
Gu Yuexi clenched her fists, her gaze fixed tightly on Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng, too lazy to waste another word, directly “poured” all the Star Source Crystal Cores out from his Lifebound Space in one go.
One, two…
First, one or two trickled out, followed by a whole pile that came tumbling down with a great RATTLE!
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve…
Holy shit! There were too many! Impossible to count! Absolutely impossible to count!!
