Chapter 234 Eight-legged Spider
Liu Xingquan didn't know at this time that Captain Ban was angry about the few votes he received.
In his eyes, the fierce battle between Mr. Cat, Lizard Pok, and Hamster Gilgamesh was the key moment for the championship. Captain Madara, who had only a few votes, certainly did not enter his thinking range.
Liu Xingquan stared at the webpage for a while, watching Mr. Cat and Gilgamesh fighting for votes in full swing. Although the Lizard Poke was slightly behind, he was following closely behind and was ready to make a move at any time. He couldn't help but become nervous.
Yan Zhen is his best friend. According to Yan Zhen, Mr. Cat is his friend and roommate. A friend of a friend is competing, and at a critical moment, so of course he has to help. Captain Madara II has too few votes and is completely hopeless, but Mr. Cat still has great hope. So Liu Xingquan immediately cast his own vote, and then he sent the competition link to his relatives and friends, and earnestly asked them to help vote for Mr. Cat.
Xiaosheng was playing a game with headphones on when a QQ notification popped up. He quit the game and saw that it was a link sent to him by Liu Xingquan.
"What is this?" he asked.
Liu Xingquan replied, "It's an online competition. Yan Zhen's cat is also participating in the competition and is about to win. Please help me vote."
When he heard Yan Zhen's name, Xiao Sheng's mouth twitched a few times. But this was a link sent by Liu Xingquan, so he still suppressed his temper and opened it. After taking a look, Xiao Sheng immediately cursed: "How can this pheasant pet competition have 8,000 or 9,000 votes? These are all water armies! I know that rich people have too much money to spend!"
Mr. Cat has 8436 votes, Gilgamesh has 8402 votes, and Pokémon has 8219 votes. The votes of these three pets are far ahead of the other pets. There is no doubt that the champion will be born among these three.
Brother Xiaosheng looked at these three, especially the top two, whose rankings were fluctuating, chasing each other. It was obvious that the water armies of both sides were exerting their strength. At this time, his QQ box popped up again, and Liu Xingquan said: "Brother Xiaosheng, please help vote for Yan Zhen."
Yan Zhen, haha, I will vote for him if others vote for him. I just don't want to give Yan Zhen's vote! The votes of this young master's cat increased so quickly, obviously he has a lot of stamina, and he doesn't need this vote at all. Xiao Shengge secretly complained that only a pure kid like Liu Xingquan would be stupid enough to canvass for votes, this is obviously a shady krypton gold war.
In line with the rebellious psychology of young people and the dissatisfaction with Yan Zhen, Xiao Sheng decided to vote for Yan Zhen's competitor. Mr. Cat currently has two strongest competitors, one is the hamster Gilgamesh and the other is the lizard Poker. He thought about it and decided not to vote for them. After all, this was Liu Xingquan's request, and it would be bad to backstab them too hard.
He scrolled down and looked at the contestants below. Then his eyes stopped at the fourth place dog named Sin Leader Jean Valjean. When he saw the dog for the first time, he felt that it looked familiar. It was strange, why did this dog always look familiar? He stared at it for a while and slapped his thigh.
Isn't this one of the three dogs he rescued last semester? Last semester, Xiaosheng rescued three puppies from the cracks in the wall, and later he gave all three puppies up for adoption. The first dog was given to Mr. Li, a math teacher at No. 4 Middle School, the second dog was given to a netizen named "Burning 2233", and the third dog was given to "For the Legion" who lived in Qingfeng Building.
And now the evil leader Jean Valjean is the second puppy he gave away. He found the photo on his phone to confirm this. The small spot under the dog's ear is exactly the same as the dog in the photo on the Internet.
"It's you, little dog." Brother Xiaosheng said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met. You, you've really become a lot uglier..."
In his memory, the second puppy he sent away was quite cute, but how come it has become this... weird and silly after not seeing it for a few months? However, looking at the lively and energetic appearance of the dog in the photo, I guess its owner must be very good to it.
Xiao Sheng felt quite relieved. He took a look at the number of votes for the evil leader Jean Valjean, 3673 votes.
I'm sorry, Liu Xingquan. Xiaosheng thought to himself, I have to vote according to my heart. Yan Zhen's cat is not short of votes at all, but the evil leader Jean Valjean is really short of votes!
Brother Xiaosheng cast his sacred vote for the evil leader Jean Valjean. Then he opened his game group and sent a silly expression. As the group leader, he rarely speaks, but as soon as he shows up, fans immediately shout: "The God of Sin is here!" "Hello, God of Sin!" "Hello, Brother Sin! Are you going to live broadcast today?" "Brother Sin, do you want to live broadcast?"
"Please help me vote, Jean Valjean, the leader of evil, please vote for it, thank you."
As soon as the fans saw the usually aloof Zuimie God speak, they all clicked on it.
Then someone complained: "Fuck, why is this dog so ugly."
"You know nothing. This is called personality, right, God of Sin."
"I think this dog is cool. Is this the dog raised by the God of Sin?"
Brother Xiaosheng replied: "No, it was a dog I rescued before and later gave away. I didn't expect it to participate in the competition."
As soon as Zuimie Master said this, all the fans who had always admired Zuimie Master all sighed that Zuimie Master was indeed the Zuimie Master, a master of skills and a good person. Of course I voted for this!
Some fans even sent the link to the Sin God fan club and went to Tieba and game forums to canvass for votes when they saw that the dog's votes were far behind the top three.
At this time, supporters of the top three championship candidates did not notice this small undercurrent.
Yin Ran is worried.
Ten thousand tickets.
This is easier said than done.
Now the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee are targeting the aliens on this planet. No matter how I canvass for votes, I will inevitably offend the other two parties. Now the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee have located every alien on this planet. If I canvass for votes for one of the parties, I will undoubtedly be beaten to death by the other two parties.
Helping Grand Duke Jill of Loya's Nest to steal votes is undoubtedly a provocation to the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee, which is not feasible.
Helping the Security Committee to steal votes would completely offend Grand Duke Jill and the Eye of Supervision, which was not feasible.
Helping the Eye of Supervision to steal votes is like asking the other two parties to bury you alive, which is totally unfeasible.
Yin Ran was well aware of the ruthless style of the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee. For a well-known criminal like her who was trying to break away from her past and reform, these two institutions would do whatever it took to exploit her and squeeze her value if they had the chance. If she got into any trouble, they would simply abandon her coldly.
Although Yin Ran's legendary career as a thief was full of elements of courting death, committing great death, and constantly courting death, at this moment, she was very clear that serving either side would be an obvious act of suicide.
God damn, all of the Xilin Noble Supervisory Eye Security Committee should die.
Go to hell!
I quit!
Yin Ran roared in his heart.
But if she does nothing, she is just waiting for these three parties to come and take her life.
She collapsed on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. Xiao Rui came to her side with a drink, "Master, would you like some iced juice?"
"Give me a cup of poison and let me die."
"Master, please don't joke with me."
"Xiao Rui, this house is the one I carefully selected and bought. After deciding to settle on this planet, I selected many cities and finally decided on this one. Do you remember the first day we went to look at houses?"
"Remember." Xiao Rui said, "This house is the one you like best among the ones you saw that day. It's a 6-minute walk from here to the downtown commercial street, and there are all kinds of living facilities nearby. The indigenous residents in the community are also very warm and kind. So you decided to buy this house at that time."
"Xiao Rui, the housing prices here are not cheap. At that time, I had decided not to do anything and just live a peaceful life here. This has always been my dream." Yin Ran covered her eyes with his hands, "Why are these guys unwilling to let me go..."
"Master, if you hadn't pushed the blame of the manslaughter to Duke Gil, you wouldn't be facing so many troubles now."
"Shut up." Yin Ran said weakly, "I just want to be a quiet stranger in a foreign land who doesn't fight with the world."
"Master, if you want to drink poison, do you need me to prepare it?"
Yin Ran sang in an aria: "I just want to be a quiet, non-confrontational stranger in a foreign land..."
She was halfway through singing when she suddenly sat up, a bright and cunning light flashing in her eyes.
"Master? Have you decided to drink the poison?"
"A stranger in a foreign land." Yin Ran murmured to himself, "I should have thought of it a long time ago..."
Xiao Rui looked at his master, and at this moment, the beautiful face of this legendary interstellar thief was flushed with excitement. Xiao Rui knew that this was exactly the sign that his master wanted to do something crazy and commit suicide.
…
…
Sightseeing cruise ship Dewdrop · [Around Jupiter's orbit]
The starship information room was constantly buzzing with signals.
The Dewdrop's navigation director was checking the messages. "Latest information," he said.
A navigator called out, "Report! There's a message from the nearest signal station."
Lines of marking runes and data scrolled on the floating holographic screen, and the navigation director stared at the flashing signals in silence, quickly analyzing the data. She soon understood the meaning.
"Alert, a strong electromagnetic storm will occur near Lola."
The navigator asked, "Director, are we going to proceed as planned?"
The navigation supervisor thought quickly. There were tens of thousands of guests on the cruise ship, including many dignitaries. If anything went wrong with these guests, it would be an unbearable cost. The cost of a detour was negligible compared to the safety of these distinguished guests. In an instant, she made a decision.
"Bypass Laura and activate the second plan."
"Yes, sir!" The navigators once again buried their heads in the buzzing machines.
…
…
"What does this mean?" asked Grand Duke Jill on the other side of the communication channel.
"I have completed your commission."
"What?" Grand Duke Gil asked with a straight face, "Lizard Poker's votes did not increase by 10,000 votes."
Yin Ran replied, "During these few days, a cruise ship, the Dew Drop, was supposed to approach Laura with tens of thousands of alien tourists on board. And I successfully kept that ship away from Laura. It can be said that I stole 10,000 votes from the Security Committee and the Eye of Supervision."
"What are you talking about?"
"Once tens of thousands of alien tourists approach Lola, there is no doubt that these law-abiding citizens will vote for the Eye of Supervision or the Security Committee. Your Excellency the Duke understands the deterrent power of these two organizations in the hearts of citizens. You basically have no chance to canvass votes among these good citizens. And I drove this ship away from Lola in time. So, I made the Security Committee and the Eye of Supervision lose the opportunity to increase tens of thousands of votes. In other words, I stole 10,000 votes from them."
"Poker's votes didn't increase!"
"Your Excellency the Duke, you can see the situation clearly. If I really steal votes, I will be arrested and expelled by one of the parties in less than an hour, and it will be impossible to achieve your goal in practice. As soon as this ship approaches Laura, it will be controlled by the Eye of Supervision or one of the Security Committee members, and you will have no chance. But now, I have avoided the risk of the other party increasing tens of thousands of votes for you, which is equivalent to stealing 10,000 votes for you. In a literal sense, I have fulfilled my commission to you."
Duke Gil fell silent. He looked at Yin Ran thoughtfully. After a near-death silence, a mocking and malicious smile appeared on Duke Gil's face. "Eight-legged spider, as expected."
"It's just an insignificant reputation."
"I'll remember you. Obviously, we'll have another chance to trade in the future." Snap. The communication was cut off.
Yin Ran let out a breath.
"He looks unhappy." Xiao Rui said.
"Haha, he will have a lot of trouble with us in the future." Yin Ran brushed away a strand of her long chestnut hair, "But at least I have fooled him now. The next step is the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee. Well, let me think about what to say. My dear adults, I have avoided the possibility of the other party increasing their votes by 10,000. In a literal sense, I have completed your commission. Come on, Xiao Rui, pour me a glass of wine. Now is the time to show off my eloquence."
"Okay." Xiao Rui held out the wine glass. He knew that this was his master, the genius interstellar thief, the "eight-legged spider" Yin Ran who could always complete the commission.
