The singers who took the stage afterward were fine, as the scores had little to do with them.
They were just using this opportunity to get so public exposure; the prizes for winning or losing had nothing to do with them.
So even as the composers were having ltdowns, the singers still went on to give steady performances.
Their scores just weren’t particularly high; only two composers managed to get scores in the seventies and eighties, respectively.
However, their scores from the previous two rounds were also low, so they posed no threat to Jiang Qin.
Unquestionably, she won the championship by a wide margin.
The composers who ranked third or lower stord out of their Capsule Cabins and left in a huff.
All semblance of decorum and pretense was cast aside. All they knew was that this competition had been a complete and utter humiliation.
However, so didn’t leave, such as the few composers from the Insect Race.
A couple of composers from the Federation and the Empire also stayed behind.
The singers sat in the guest seating area and did not leave early.
After all, it was a live broadcast. Anyone with a modicum of self-control would swallow their displeasure for the ti being.
...
"Let us welco Miss Jiang Qin to the stage to accept her award! A round of applause, please!!"
The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.
Jiang Qin went on stage with a smile, and after giving an acceptance speech, she finally received the Space Button containing the spaceship.
However, at that very mont, the entire venue suddenly went dark.
"AHHH—"
"What’s happening? Is it a power outage?"
A staff mber from the chanical Clan quickly tried to calm the crowd. "Everyone, please don’t panic. There might be a problem with the wiring.
We’ve already sent people to fix it. It should only take a few minutes!"
In the darkness, Jiang Qin didn’t dare to move, but she had already silently summoned an Alien Beast to protect herself.
Her fears were not unfounded. Soon, she felt soone approach. A sudden gust of wind rushed past her as the person tried to snatch the Space Button right out of her hand.
Jiang Qin, of course, wouldn’t let them. She imdiately activated the Energy Shield she was carrying and backed away.
The attacker let out a sharp cry, and she imdiately understood. It was the Insect Race!!
Besides the Insect Race composers, there were also many Insect Race singers in the audience!
She could feel the thing attacking her Energy Shield. She imdiately summoned a small Alien Beast to counterattack.
"What do you think you’re doing??"
The Beastn, who had night vision, also saw this and imdiately moved forward to block the Insect Race.
But the next mont, all the mbers of the Insect Race reverted to their true forms.
Each one of them was enormous, with a hard exoskeleton and sharp claws.
Cang Hong had already rushed over and was now fighting the Insect Race mber who was trying to snatch the Space Button.
Jiang Qin knew so people had night vision, so she didn’t dare to do anything too extravagant. She could only summon so small Alien Beasts to blend in and help.
anwhile, she was continuously firing the Energy Gun Yuan Ling had given her.
Because she was always surrounded by dangers of one kind or another, her partners at ho had long since taught her how to use all sorts of weapons for self-defense.
Suddenly, an even sharper screech echoed throughout the entire venue.
This cry could attack a person’s Spirit Sea.
Never mind the male Beastn, even Jiang Qin clutched her head in pain.
"Qinqin!!" Cang Hong shouted anxiously, imdiately abandoning his fight to return to her side.
But the Energy Shield was still active, so it blocked his touch.
"I’m fine... You... be careful."
Cang Hong’s Spirit Sea was also in pain. Fearing a sneak attack, he quickly activated an Energy Shield to protect himself.
Thank goodness they had Yuan Ling, otherwise they wouldn’t have access to such high-tech gear with superior power and defense.
Fortunately, the chanical Clan’s response was also swift. A good number of them were already holding back the Insect Race.
mbers of the Insect Race were constantly trying to snatch what was in Jiang Qin’s hand, and they had almost shattered her Energy Shield.
She wasn’t flustered, because she had two more of these Energy Shields on her.
If the materials weren’t so rare, she probably would have had even more.
That was why she wanted this spaceship so badly. Of course, even if she didn’t want it, she would never let soone just steal her things.
The attacking Insect Race mber’s eyes lit up when it saw Jiang Qin’s Energy Shield finally shatter. It imdiately swung its mantis-like arms, intending to sever her hand and take it.
But the next second, that damned Energy Shield lit up again.
And with that, their chance was completely gone.
All the mbers of the Insect Race were either dead, injured, or captured and restrained.
The person in charge from the chanical Clan had a very dark expression.
He felt that the Insect Race publicly trying to steal the prize was a provocation against the chanical Clan!!
"Lock them all up in the maximum-security prison! Contact the Insect Race and demand a reasonable explanation!"
Upon hearing this, the remaining living mbers of the Insect Race actually self-destructed.
A shower of green blood and white chunks of flesh rained down, a nauseating sight.
Jiang Qin couldn’t hold it in and vomited all over the floor.
She was already pregnant, so seeing such a scene, she naturally couldn’t control her body’s instinctual reaction.
Once the crisis was over and the Energy Shield was down, Cang Hong imdiately scooped her up and sprinted to find a dical Master.
The chanical Clan also sent people to follow and handle the aftermath.
If it had been soone else, they might not have been so anxious, but this was their champion!
They didn’t choose a champion just to hand out a prize; it was for future collaboration. Thus, they placed great importance on Jiang Qin’s health.
They imdiately arranged for the best hospital in the city and brought in several dical Masters to examine her.
All the fuss... it was making Jiang Qin rather embarrassed.
It was just morning sickness... that was all.
After the embarrassingly high-profile consultation, everyone finally left the hospital room, leaving only Cang Hong and the others, like Yun Xie, who had rushed over.
Lan Yuyan, shaken, hugged Zhaozhao tightly and sat beside her. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No, it’s all thanks to the Energy Shields and weapon Yuan Ling prepared for . I even killed one of the Insect Race mbers."
Yuan Ling said, "I didn’t expect an attack from the Insect Race either. Their exoskeletons are quite tough. The Energy Gun’s power isn’t enough to kill them in one shot."
"It’s already very good. Every shot was able to injure them."
The others thought about it and agreed. An Energy Gun that could pierce the shells of the Insect Race was already considered highly lethal.
But Yuan Ling thought, ’There’s still room for improvent.’
He didn’t say much more, only quietly contemplated various material combinations and improvents for chanical parts in his mind.
Jiang Qin suddenly rembered sothing and quickly held out the Space Button she had been clutching tightly in her hand to Yuan Ling.
"This is the new model of spaceship the chanical Clan awarded . You figure out how to use it."
Yuan Ling felt a tremor in his heart.
This feeling of being cared for, of being treated with such consideration, was simply intoxicating.
He didn’t know what to say. He just silently tightened his grip on the Space Button.
The others had no objection to the spaceship being given to Yuan Ling. After all, everyone has their own specialization.
