After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 184 Stardust is not human

He Zi closed her eyes again, looking back on the years of seizing power. She had always relied on Xing Duan's favor to rise to the top.

The management of the Beast World Continent is a mess; the strong have always been in charge.

The weak have no voice in front of the strong, which indirectly motivates the weak to improve and become strong, a classic example of cutthroat competition.

He Zi thought that all of this was Xing Duan's deliberate act, with the aim of selecting the best female and beastman.

The competition among males in the Beast World continent is not the most severe; the competition among females is equally serious.

The male competes to win the female's favor, while the female competes simply for status, power, and the right to speak.

Only the strong can receive the favor of this world.

Looking back on her glorious past and now, a tear rolled down He Zi's cheek.

After He Zi left, Shen Jinxi called Que Shiwen into her room.

After the system was removed, Que Shiwen became Shen Jinxi's confidant.

"I plan to go to the courthouse first thing tomorrow morning to confirm. You should call some other people to come with me. Let's change cars and leave early."

Shen Jinxi was worried that something might go wrong, thinking of He Zi's special visit today and the results of the last Stardust check.

He Zi faces two punishments for failing to secure first place in the qualifying rounds: 1. Returning to the Desert Continent. 2. Entering the City of Prosperity.

Shen Jinxi believed she knew He Zi well and thought it was absolutely impossible for her to have children.

Now, He Zi has not only accepted the invitation to enter the City of Prosperity, but has also taken the initiative to ask her to confirm the time.

Shen Jinxi dared not let her guard down; this was her last chance.

"Let's split into two groups. We'll go tomorrow morning, and on the last day, we'll have Jinche and the others drive to the courthouse."

Que Shiwen devised a smokescreen.

Shen Jinxi nodded in agreement, "Let's do it your way."
-
On the first day, many people went to confirm, but when they arrived at the trial table, those who had received invitations only found out.

This year's invitation is different from previous years. In previous years, once it was confirmed, you could just wait for the time to arrive and then be teleported to the City of Prosperity by the Stardust.

Now, Stardust has introduced a certainty rate, meaning that more than 95% of people must confirm their participation for everyone to be able to go.

No one present took it to heart, believing that no one would refuse to go to the City of Extraordinary Things; only a fool would not go.

It wasn't until the third day that the certainty rate reached 80%.

Those who wanted to go had already gone to the trial to confirm their decision; the remaining 20% ​​clearly did not want to go.

People started to panic and began denouncing those whose identities were still uncertain in various groups and forums.

[How come some people haven't checked yet? A few bad apples spoil the whole bunch!]

[I'm curious what those who haven't confirmed are thinking. A windfall is a rare opportunity, but it's incredibly difficult to come by.]

[I don't understand the world of those with good fortune; I'll just lurk and observe.]

Sang Tian scrolled through the chat logs in the forum and group, and found that they were all filtering out people who had not yet been identified.

Tang Xiaoyan and Cang Lan were also present; both of them had received invitations but hadn't confirmed their attendance.

"You guys shut down the cloud first, I have something to say."

Canglan didn't understand, but she did as instructed.

“I’ve done my research. Xingduan sent out a total of thirty invitations this time. It’s more than enough for the three of us not to go. There are still He Zi and two other females who haven’t confirmed their attendance yet.”

"If we really calculate it according to the ratio of Xingduan, as long as we don't go, they can't go either. In fact, it's a good thing."

Sang Tian felt it wasn't that simple.

“Things might not be as simple as we think. I feel that Xingduan set this certainty rate to force us to compromise and use external pressure.” Cang Lan couldn’t understand what the two were talking about. He looked at Sang Tian and Tang Xiaoyan with a blank expression and couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

"Luckily I turned on the jammer, otherwise if Xingduan heard this, wouldn't he be giving it a solution?"

As it turned out, Xingduan was indeed as Sang Tian had guessed.

Near the afternoon, Xingduan issued a notice, directly announcing the list of those who had not confirmed their attendance, along with a countdown to the deadline.

When the three of them saw it, they immediately started cursing.

"Just what I feared has come true. Now I'm certain that Xingduan isn't human."

Tang Xiaoyan chimed in, "Yes, absolutely not human. Is this something a human could do? Didn't they say it was voluntary? What kind of voluntary is this?"

"Then what should we do?" Canglan was still completely confused.

“They definitely disagree, but fortunately we now know who the other two are. Xiaoyan, have the system locate their positions so we can go and find out what’s going on.”

Tang Xiaoyan nodded and quickly had the system locate their positions.

"System? What's that? Is it a new app from the cloud?"

Sang Tian replied, "No, I'll explain it to you in the car. Just be prepared."

Upon hearing that he needed to prepare himself, Canglan secretly guessed that it must be something big, and he was very excited.

The three drove to find the remaining two, and, worried that the other two would not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion, agreed.

Tang Xiaoyan drove, flooring the accelerator, and while driving, she didn't forget to help Sang Tian fill in the details of the system.

Canglan was stunned and looked at Sang Tian, ​​not knowing what to say.

"Awesome!" Cang Lan had a lot to say, but in the end, he summed it up in just two words: "Absolutely awesome!"

Compared to Jian Xiao's status, this is the real big deal.

The thought of the two of them opposing Xingduan, and even trying to overthrow Xingduan, made Canglan feel excited, both excited and scared.

"Now you know this secret, do you know what it means?"

Cang Lantian shook his head innocently, "I don't know."

"This means you're already on our pirate ship. Now you either stay with us to the end, or you jump ship and be punished by Stardust."

Tang Xiaoyan gave Sang Tian a thumbs up, "You're amazing. I was too proud back then, otherwise you would have been on my side long ago."

"Drive well."

Canglan replied to Sangtian, "None of these sound very good. Isn't option C an option?"

"Yes, we'll kill you. But considering our good relationship, Xiaoyan and I will have Quan Jingtian come to keep you company."

“No.” Cang Lan refused, but then she quickly realized, “Wait a minute, if I die, he will definitely die with me.”

"Then he will definitely hate you. He's living a smooth life now, but suddenly he dies because of you and goes to the underworld. He'll definitely hate you."

"No, I promise you."

Although he knew that Sang Tian would not kill him, Cang Lan felt guilty at the thought that Quan Jingtian might die because of him.

"I haven't fully reverted to my orc identity yet, I can't die."

Restoring a flawed orc to a normal orc is incredibly difficult, almost like climbing to the heavens.

If we join forces with Sang Tian and Tang Xiaoyan to overthrow Xing Duan, would there be no difference between flawed and normal beastmen?
