Chapter 250: Reward for the Champion

Chapter 250: Reward for the Champion

In the monitoring room of the hotel, the security guard called, “Come here, come here. Look at this kid, he’s being so sneaky. He’s been loitering around this entrance for a long time.”

Another security officer hurried over, looked at the monitors, and gave it some thought before saying, “The third floor is filled with contestants. They’re all incredibly talented and powerful. We’d better not bother. Let me see… 306, I do have some memory about this room. It seems to be the room that a famous and impressive female contestant of this year is staying in.”

The security officer suddenly saw something, and he was so infuriated that he began stomping his feet. “Wow, this kid is such a coward. No, we must catch him!”

It turned out that the monitor showed a boy loitering around the door of a hotel room and hesitating if he should knock on the door.

His behavior was acceptable, though suspicious. He was now pressing his ear against the door and trying to listen to what was going on inside.

The key was that he began to smile lecherously while pressing his ear against the door…

The middle-aged security officer couldn’t stand it any longer. He then picked up the walkie-talkie and yelled into it.

The boy was Jiang Xiao, and he was leaning against the door of Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan’s room.

In the beginning, Jiang Xiao refused to take on this task.

He didn’t want to go wake the two of them up just because Hai Tianqing wanted him to, for that would be embarrassing for him.

However, Jiang Xiao still ended up waking both of them up because of the mysterious letter.

As a participant, Jiang Xiao knew better than anyone else how fatigued they were. Disturbing them from their sleep would very likely to get him beaten up.

Jiang Xiao was standing in front of the door hesitantly, feeling rather conflicted. He couldn’t decide if he should knock on the door or not. After giving it some thought, he decided to inch closer and hear, praying to hear sounds from inside the room because that would mean that they had already woken up.

At this moment, a message suddenly popped up in Jiang Xiao’s internal Star Map:

–

Champion of Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition, Skill Points +10

Current Skill Points: 51

–

Happiness was written all over Jiang Xiao’s face as he smiled gleefully.

Victory?

Champions of the Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition?

Although the officials had yet to announce it, the Skill Points in the internal Star Map gave Jiang Xiao the answer in advance.

What did that mean?

It meant that he would be rewarded with champion-level Star Beads! What kind of a Star Bead will it be this time!?! I’m really looking forward to it.

Am I going to get bonus points for the college entrance examination?

Give me 10 more points!

Is Han Jiangxue going to be one step closer to her dream college?

Their efforts did not go in vain at all. They had achieved success. The feeling was wonderful!

Jiang Xiao opened his internal Star Map and looked at his recent achievements while thinking about the Star Beads and Star Techniques that he might be rewarded with.

When Jiang Xiao was cheering and rejoicing deep down, he heard the sounds of footsteps shuffling at the end of the corridor.

“It’s him! Catch him!”

“He’s so young but so perverted!”

“Catch him, don’t let him go!”

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a while as he looked at the group of people running towards him. What’s going on? Who are they talking about? Who is the pervert?

The middle-aged security officer grabbed Jiang Xiao’s arm and asked smugly, “You’re shocked silly, eh? Your legs are shaking and you don’t dare to move anymore, do you? You must have a guilty conscience, eh!?!”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

Shortly after, a bunch of people surrounded him.

Jiang Xiao said, “No, wait a minute, what are you doing?”

Jiang Xiao said, “Let go, let go of me…”

Jiang Xiao said, “Brother, don’t hold my thigh, where are you touching?”

Jiang Xiao said, “Don’t force me, I’m going to heal you guys!”

Bang!

The door of Room 306 was suddenly opened and a girl came out in her pajamas, rubbing her messy and short, chestnut-colored hair. Her eyes were full of fury and she was obviously trying to hold her anger back. Her pretty face flushed and she yelled, “Why are you making such a huge din!?!”

The security officer and Jiang Xiao, having a ruckus at the door, all stopped in their actions. It was not that they were obedient, but rather, they were indeed shocked by Xia Yan’s surging Star Power.

Fire seemed to come out of Xia Yan’s beautiful eyes as she wished that she could burn everyone. When she saw the familiar faces, she couldn’t help but become shocked.

It was because Jiang Xiao was held up by a few buff and muscular men.

Xia Yan hurried forward to rescue Jiang Xiao and asked, “What happened?”

Afraid of causing a misunderstanding, he hurriedly responded, “This kid was being sneaky in front of your door. He was peeping through the crack and pressing his ear against the door to listen. One look and I can tell that he harbors ill intentions.”

“Ah, thank you, guys. He’s my teammate. I’ll take care of it.” Xia Yan grabbed Jiang Xiao by his nape and muttered in anger, “Why are you growing bigger and bigger? If you get any heavier, it’ll take a lot of effort for me to carry you.”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.

What do you mean?

What are you trying to do?

Why are you getting more and more skillful?

Am I a bamboo rat?

Bang!

Xia Yan closed the door and the staff looked at each other, finding there to be something amiss.

Are we catching a criminal?

We seem to have become accomplices? We actually gave that kid some help and he managed to sneak in?

Jiang Xiao, getting grabbed by his neck for the second time, was thrown onto the bed by Xia Yan.

The curtains were drawn in the room, so it was a little dim. Han Jiangxue was lying on the other bed in the standard, twin-sharing room. She sat up wearily and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“To prevent you from sleeping, your brother deliberately came here to disturb you.” The evil Xia Yan accused Jiang Xiao before snuggling up under Han Jiangxue’s duvet.

Han Jiangxue moved her body, but she was already being pressed against the wall and had nowhere to move towards. She had no choice but to let Xia Yan lean against her. Han Jiangxue stretched her legs out and kicked Xia Yan before asking, “What’s the matter, Xiaopi?”

“The results will be announced at 10 o’clock and the award ceremony will be held in the hall of the hotel,” Jiang Xiao said while glowering at Xia Yan, who looked back at him dauntlessly.

“What time is it now?” Han Jiangxue asked, sobering up after hearing the news.

“We still have time. It’s only eight something,” Jiang Xiao answered. Seeing that Han Jiangxue was a little agitated, he added, “If nothing goes wrong, we should be the champions.”

“Huh?” Han Jiangxue tilted her head, her cold face appearing rather adorable in a special manner.

Jiang Xiao shrugged and said, “Hai Tianqing told me about it. By the way, Xia Yan, the officials have given me the Star Beads that were meant to be a compensation for us. I’ve absorbed them.”

Xia Yan humphed to show her nonchalance.

Han Jiangxue said, “After we sell the rewards that we get this time, we’ll let Xia Yan and Li Weiyi split the proceeds amongst themselves. After all, the Lava Ghoul Witch Star Beads were taken away by us.”

Xia Yan hurriedly interjected, “Xiaopi was the one who took them away. It has nothing to do with you, Xuexue. You’ll get a share of the money too.”

Jiang Xiao thought about it for a while before saying, “I think my Bell and Imprint are going to be upgraded in quality. Can we find some time to enter the volcano again?”

Han Jiangxue’s eyes lit up and she asked, “It got upgraded so soon?”

Jiang Xiao nodded and confirmed, “Yes.”

Xia Yan was elated. However, she looked extremely disdainful. She humphed and said, “Hah, I didn’t take such good care of you for nothing.”

Jiang Xiao smiled. She was indeed telling the truth. To prevent Xia Yan from getting smug, Jiang Xiao changed the subject. “I wonder what Star Beads we’ll get as the champions of this competition.”

…

Jiang Xiao didn’t have to wonder for too long. Soon, he and his team stood on the podium in the hall of the hotel.

When Jiang Xiao grabbed the Star Beads awarded by the organizers, he was filled with peculiar emotions.

–

Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead (Golden Quality)

Existing Star Techniques:

Enmity

Counter-current Light

Sound of Silence

–

As expected, the organizers of the competition awarded Han Jiangxue, the Rules Awakened, with the Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads.

The two of them did not use the Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead in their inventory. Hence, they now had three Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads.

What made Jiang Xiao feel the most emotional was the fact that the organizer of the competition named Jiang Xiao the Most Valuable Player of the Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition after evaluating the performance of his team.

As a supportive member, Jiang Xiao’s name was forever left in the history of Beijiang Province.

That was not all.

The reward for the Most Valuable Player was similarly, a Fallen Shadow Witch Star Bead.

After taking part in the Beijiang Provincial High School League and the Beijiang Province Second Wasteland Reclamation Competition, they were awarded a total of six Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads by the Star Warriors Association!

What did that mean?

After pinching and scrimping, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue had a total of four Fallen Shadow Witch Star Beads in their inventory!

The Beijiang Province Star Warriors Association probably invested so much money because they wanted the “Goddess Xue” to acquire the Star Technique, Sound of Silence, huh?

How many hopes have they pinned on this team?

Is the Beijiang Province going to achieve a breakthrough in performance in the National League this year?

Jiang Xiao had a lot of speculations and guesses in his head. However, a bold idea appeared in his mind when he was holding a photo and getting photographed.

What if… I don’t give this Star Bead to Han Jiangxue?

At this moment, Jiang Xiao’s Sound of Silence was of Gold Quality Level 2 (9/100). With the addition of four Star Beads, it would become Level 6 (9/100). Could they try to upgrade the Sound of Silence to the Platinum Quality through some hard work before the National League?

What kind of effects would the Platinum Quality Sound of Silence have?

Could a Star Technique of that level lead the team onto the path towards the pinnacle of the nation?
