The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 54

Chapter 54

The Monroe competition has now entered the final stage. The final is scheduled for next Sunday.

Although there is still some time before the final, netizens are already fervently discussing it, with the topic of the competition remaining highly popular.

As a star contestant with many fans, Xia Yue is regarded by many as a strong contender for the championship.

Looking at Xia Yue, who was sitting across the table, the boy asked with concern, "Xia Yue, how are you preparing for the final? I saw online that the other nine contestants are also quite strong."

Xia Yue pursed her lips and smiled slightly, modestly saying, "I've been working hard on my preparations recently. I hope I can perform well then. But even if I don't win, it's okay. I feel like I've gained a lot from this competition."

Although she felt extremely proud inside, Xia Yue knew that being too sharp and ostentatious often made people wary and annoyed, so she presented a humble facade.

The thought of the championship being within reach filled Xia Yue with immense satisfaction. It was well worth the price she paid to exchange her life force with the black-hearted system for that quiz tool. Without it, she could never have easily advanced to the finals.

Hearing Xia Yue's modest words, the boy encouraged, "With your abilities, you're sure to perform well."

Xia Yue smiled and stood up, "Let's go, we're done eating."

As the boy carried his tray and walked beside Xia Yue past Lu Yao's table, he said with a smile, "Many people online are saying you're sure to be this season's champion. Some even think you're on par with Lu Yao's performance last year, so you don't need to worry."

When Xia Yue walked by, she glanced sideways at Lu Yao, a satisfied expression crossing her face after being praised.

The boy didn't lower his voice when he spoke, so Lu Qi and Ye Muqing naturally heard the comparison between Xia Yue and Lu Yao.

Ye Muqing scoffed disdainfully.

Looking at Lu Yao's calm demeanor, Ye Muqing complained, "Her disgusting little tricks are really handy. You probably don't know, but recently, a lot of articles and discussion posts have appeared online comparing you unfavorably to her. She hasn't even won yet and is already eager to step on you. If she wins, her arrogance will be through the roof."

Lu Yao indeed hadn't known about this, but he didn't care much. To him, the opinions of irrelevant people online were unimportant. Besides, only people at school knew he was last year's champion, "SUN." What netizens said wouldn't affect his daily life.

While Lu Yao didn't care, Lu Qi and Ye Muqing couldn't stand seeing Lu Yao being belittled.

After finishing his meal, Lu Qi, seeing that Jiang Bai and Lu Yao hadn't finished yet, propped his chin on his hand and scrolled through his phone, waiting for them.

Seeing an obvious smear post about Lu Yao online, Lu Qi irritably clicked his tongue and cursed, "Damn it!"

Lu Yao glanced at him, "Grass is a plant. While it's good to care for plants, there's no need to keep mentioning it."

Lu Qi glared at him, "You still have the mind to correct me. People are stepping all over you now. I can't stay calm while watching these idiots."

The sight of the post infuriated Lu Qi.
