Chapter 57: Voting, Management Authority of the Main Star!

    Wu Zhen had no expression, literally not a single one.

    Without sorrow or joy, without desire or demand. His dark eyes were like a sea of stars, encompassing everything within.

    The two stared at each other for a long time before Wu Zhen slowly said,

    “I want control of the Empire.”

    Chu Qi: “Impossible.”

    Wu Zhen: “Whether it’s possible or not isn’t up to you alone. I like your ‘fairness and justice’, I respect you.”

    “Humans have always liked to vote and elect. Let’s do that too.”

    Wu Zhen finally said, “But I still want to advise you, you humans can’t control the Main Star anymore.”

    “Give it to me.”

    Chu Qi lowered his head, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes, and took a step back out of Xiang Li’s embrace.

    He gazed at Xiang Li.

    “Humans, will be alright, right?”

    Xiang Li, out of the blue, said: “Yes.”

    After realizing it, he added: “I can only guarantee you—will be alright.”

    Chu Qi: “…”

    Neither of them spoke, one second, two seconds… after a few seconds, Chu Qi asked another question.

    “Why did you choose to sacrifice ‘Wu Zhen’ in the first place?”

    Speaking of this question, Xiang Li also felt very aggrieved.

    “I thought you would like Xiang Li, this good boy, more than Wu Zhen.”

    Chu Qi: “You also know how terrible you were before.”

    Coming and going without a word.

    Xiang Li blinked his eyes, as if “I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” changing the subject.

    Chu Qi continued, “In a few days, Wu Zhen wants to hold a vote on the control and management rights of the Main Star.”

    “So, this time, are you going to stand behind me, or—”

    Xiang Li didn’t answer immediately, carefully thinking for two seconds, he propped up his chin, selfishly said.

    “Whoever doesn’t matter, but Officer, what benefits can I get?”

    Chu Qi narrowed his eyes, reached out, and slowly pressed his palm against Xiang Li’s neck, his Adam’s apple sliding up and down in Chu Qi’s palm, tickling.

    Xiang Li: “A reward?” He glanced at the hand on his neck, which was gradually tightening, his eyes ambiguous.

    Chu Qi’s palm went numb from the sound, but he still didn’t let go, using force to bring the person closer to him.

    Chu Qi: “You can try.”

    He was half threatening, half soft, the ending tone hooking Xiang Li, making him slightly surprised.

    Xiang Li simply took advantage of Chu Qi’s strength, continuing to move closer to Chu Qi. As their breaths gradually approached, Chu Qi turned his eyes slightly, Xiang Li’s nose gliding across the other’s cheek.

    Xiang Li: “Officer, I’m very well-behaved.”

    Xiang Li at this moment was like a promoter from a pyramid scheme, clearly and plainly explaining the benefits of “Xiang Li.”

    Then letting Chu Qi be moved and spend money on him.

    Yan Zhou Ping’s house.

    Xue Hu Su, lying on the sofa and groaning, turned over to meet a pair of eyes: “…”

    Having just ended a special period, his emotions could be said to be very unstable, and then there was this person staring at him at all times.

    Undoubtedly, it was someone from Hill’s side.

    He just opened his throat: “Old Yan—”

    Before he could completely howl it out, a towel soaked in cold water was plastered on his face.

    The person next to him: “Calm down.”

    Xue Hu Su: “…”

    Calm down your ass!

    He wanted to get angry, but looking at the other cold towel in the person’s hand, he deflated, limply lying back, and the towel thrown on his face was kindly placed back on his face.

    Extremely peaceful.

    Zhou Xin Shui was in the kitchen, and apart from a foul smell and a series of crackling sounds coming from inside, it was still considered peaceful.

    When Hill returned, he saw such a scene, the house was inexplicably filled with a depressing atmosphere.

    Bai Yan walked out from Hill’s shadow, reached out and lifted the towel from Xue Hu Su’s face, and in the next second threw it to Hill.

    Hill, subconsciously avoiding it: “…”

    The look in his eyes as he stared at the towel even had a hint of disgust.

    Ning Le, who didn’t know why it ended up in his hands: “…”

    Bai Yan blew on his fingertips, turned his head, and met the gaze of Xue Hu Su, whose face seemed to be emitting cold air.

    Bai Yan: “?”

    Xue Hu Su suddenly sat up, and happily received another ice towel.

    “You guys play by yourselves, I want to be alone.”

    He said through gritted teeth, fiercely bumped into the person who threw the towel at him, and turned to leave.

    He ran straight into Wu Zhen, who had just returned.

    Xue Hu Su: “?”

    He had naturally heard about this person, his eyes darting around, an idea already forming in his mind.

    He reached out and put his arm around Wu Zhen’s neck, leading him away from the door of Yan Zhou Ping’s house.

    Xue Hu Su smiled like a fox.

    “Let’s play a game, okay?”

    Wu Zhen was expressionless, only revealing a hint of doubt when the other person said “game.”

    Xue Hu Su hehe: “Jigsaw puzzle.”

    After speaking, Xue Hu Su had already led him to an open space, quickly taking a few steps, not waiting for Wu Zhen to answer, and started with a “boom” with zero frames.

    Wu Zhen: “…”

    On the day of the Main Star authority vote, Wu Zhen had been picking up pieces of corpses for a few days to “piece together”, so much so that the first thing he did when he saw Xue Hu Su in his seat that day was get up and take out a sack from his pocket.

    Qi Xiao reached out and pressed Wu Zhen back down.

    “…”

    Wu Zhen blinked his eyes, then silently put away the sack, folded it up, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

    He stared seriously at the sun overhead.

    Qi Xiao smiled as she watched Chu Qi and his group approach from the main base entrance, and Xiang Li and a few others mixed in with them.

    The group came to the management level, and the current situation was being broadcast live to the humans who were still alive.

    Qi Xiao explained the current situation in the light board broadcast, and she generously allowed the humans who were still alive to vote as well.

    But the votes of humans other than management were all 0.01 votes.

    Qi Xiao smiled and said, “After all, there are a lot of you, 0.01 isn’t too much, right?”

    But even if the number was small, it was a considerable number of votes.

    Chu Qi frowned, not knowing what Qi Xiao and the others were planning.

    At this time, from another door, Sang Quan Shi Li followed behind Ning Li An, and behind him were also Xing Zi Mu, Hu Zi Mo, and other high-level officials.

    Chu Qi: “!”

    Xiang Li next to him also stared at Xing Zi Mu with some surprise.

    It was obvious to others that they were being controlled, that was Ning Li An’s “spiritual power.” Sang Quan Shi Li didn’t need to be said, looking at his appearance, his brain was probably just a mass of paste now.

    But—what was going on with “Deputy Xing”?

    Xing Zi Mu lowered his head, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists unnaturally, and he turned his face away, not looking at the others.

    Qi Xiao smiled and raised her hand: “48 hours.”

    After speaking, she scanned Sang Quan Shi Li and the others with her eyes.

    Sang Quan Shi Li’s eyes were dull, as if no matter what Qi Xiao said, he would only nod blankly, not even needing to hear the content clearly.

    Noon, the clock hanging outside the main base pointed straight at the sky.

    The voting channel began.

    The red and blue sides’ votes were led by the red side.

    And the red side was the human camp.

    None of the people in the command room voted, only the votes of the surviving humans outside the live broadcast.

    They were floating the word “truth” in the barrage.

    [How can the control of the Main Star be allowed to be controlled by a bunch of monsters! (Red Side)]

    [Humans have only believed in one truth since ancient times—humans will conquer nature! (Red Side)]

    [Human interests above all else! (Red Side)]

    [The Main Star is the human’s Main Star! The Empire is the human’s Empire! (Red Side)]

    Xiang Li looked at the floating blue virtual screen in front of him, he stared at the figure in the neat black uniform in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and lightly tapped the screen with his index finger.

    [You have chosen to vote for the Red Side.]

    After choosing, he looked at the other side.

    At this time, the live broadcast had been disconnected, leaving only the voting page floating with comments, and the voting page with 1570002.67 (Red) : 0.00 (Blue) on it.

    The high-level officials controlled by Ning Li An raised their hands one after another to cast their votes.

    Soon, the voting results were overtaken.

    2099999.10 (Red) : 2100000.00 (Blue).

    Under Qi Xiao’s gaze, Sang Quan Shi Li obediently pressed the [Blue Side] button.

    2100000.10 (Red) : 2100100.00 (Blue)

    [Why are there still management voting for the Blue Side, we are 0.01 per person, and the management is 100 votes per person! (Red Side)]

    [So what if it’s 100 votes, there are more of us! Unity will make the Red Side win! (Red Side)]

    Xiang Li leaned closer to Chu Qi, naturally reaching out and playing with Chu Qi’s hand, the voting page in front of him had not yet been selected.

    Xiang Li glanced at it, if Chu Qi and Shen Gui voted now, it would be easy to surpass the Blue Side.

    After all, it seemed that only Xing Zi Mu and Qi Xiao were left on the Blue Side who hadn’t voted.

    Qi Xiao’s right to 100 votes came from “Chu He” (Sang Quan Shi Li’s mother’s name), Ning Li An was mainly “Sang Ji Lin”, Wu Zhen had no management status, and the voting record was only 0.01.

    So, the Blue Side still had 300.01 votes.

    The situation seemed to be locked.

    If nothing unexpected happened—the Blue Side would win.

    Xing Zi Mu stared at the suspended blue screen in front of him, his fingertips trembling slightly, Qi Xiao’s words echoing in his ears—

    “Deputy Xing, I won’t make it difficult for you. The medicine I’m researching can allow you to truly possess your own spiritual power.”

    As Qi Xiao spoke, her fingertips hooked the Source Stone belt on Xing Zi Mu’s waist.

    “Deputy Xing, as Old Xing’s son, your ability is also not bad. You haven’t been able to truly possess the ability to lead soldiers, and even your position is not as high as Chu Qi’s and Shen Gui’s. Why?”

    “Isn’t it because you don’t have spiritual power? But now, you can have it.”

    Qi Xiao: “As long as you vote for me~ It’s a very good deal, Deputy Xing.”

    Qi Xiao’s words were like the whispers of a demon, carrying fatal toxins, making people’s hearts flutter.

    “Even if we take over the Main Star, we won’t make things difficult for humans.”

    “The current Main Star is rampant with polluted entities, can humans solve it? No.”

    “It’s better to give us the management rights, and we guarantee that the future of humans will only get better and better.”

    “…”

    Qi Xiao’s voice grew louder and louder, almost exploding in Xing Zi Mu’s ears, making it impossible to think, and he could only follow the other party’s wishes.

    Chu Qi quietly looked at Xing Zi Mu, his eyes filled with worry.

    He did not choose, and Shen Gui next to him did not click either.

    Xiang Li stepped forward to block Chu Qi’s view.

    “Officer, why don’t you click?”

    Chu Qi withdrew his thoughts, he looked at Xiang Li, and then lowered his eyes after two seconds.

    Chu Qi: “…”

    He always felt that things were not that simple.

    Wu Zhen quickly clicked on the [Blue Side], expressionlessly saying to Qi Xiao next to him.

    “People, I’m going to play games.”

    Qi Xiao had only blinked her eyes, and Wu Zhen had already walked away.

    Qi Xiao: “…”

    I really want him to change his address!

    Qi Xiao: “Deputy Xing.”

    Xing Zi Mu was called back to his senses, he raised his head, meeting Qi Xiao’s eyes.

    Qi Xiao’s gentle eyes seemed to be only concerned: “Deputy Xing, we still have 47 hours to consider, no need to rush.”

    She waved to Ning Li An: “Ning, take Deputy Xing back, entertain him well~”

    “No rush, no rush.”

    These words echoed in the command room, as if they were being said to everyone.

    “No rush.”
