Mu Qiu didn’t find the content of the card greasy at all. She just thought, "Ah, does this an I have another chance to take first place?"
Now, tasks need to be completed, and since everyone sets off from the sa starting point at the sa ti, it just depends on who runs faster and completes the tasks quicker.
There’s a chance!
She looked up and exchanged a glance with Guan Yu across from her.
One, two, three!
Both of them dashed out at the sa ti, startling everyone else.
"I’m off to do the task, bye!"
"Little Sakura is taking off, see you at the awards podium, heroes!"
Mu Qiu’s costu had pants, so it was understandable that she could run so fast. But Guan Yu running so fast while holding her petal skirt was quite a picture.
After being stunned for two seconds, Li Yang and Shu Ran imdiately followed and dashed out.
"Wait for !"
"Run quickly!"
With Li Yang’s outfit, his golden chains clashed against each other with a jingle, making him a true ’shining youth.’
Underneath the bamboo, only Cheng Zhirang and Shi Yuhuai were left, looking confused at the way they ran like mad dogs.
Half a minute later, Shi Yuhuai left Cheng Zhirang and ran out too.
The queuing photographers, tailing their subjects, also ran out of sight.
In no ti, only Cheng Zhirang and the photographers following him were left on the scene.
Cheng Zhirang sighed and walked out unhurriedly.
After leaving the academy, his pace quickened, and with his long legs, he covered two steps in one, leaving the crew behind.
In a suit, he could actually run, but being the only one left, it felt a bit odd to dash, as this wasn’t a scene being fild.
Naturally, this made him the last one left behind.
The crew mber behind the cara whispered a reminder to him, "Brother Cheng, you’re the last one."
Cheng Zhirang smiled gracefully at the cara, "No worries, my tasks are simpler than theirs."
The staff, blushing from his smile, nodded with enthusiasm, suppressing excitent.
anwhile, the few at the front, sprinting, had already rushed out of the academy’s path and onto the main road.
Li Yang, relying on his long legs, successfully overtook Guan Yu and Mu Qiu, running in the front and smugly looking back proudly.
"Can’t you run faster? I caught up with you effortlessly!"
Guan Yu panted behind, rolling her eyes hard, "Could you hold your chains in? They’re noisy and flashy, hindering my speed!"
Mu Qiu, also panting, added a jab, "Also, your wig is about to fall off."
"..." Li Yang imdiately held his wig in place, "Forget it, I’ll go ahead."
With that, he whisked away and turned into an alley.
Their destination wasn’t here; they still had to run forward.
Mu Qiu slowed down and glanced back at the breathless Shu Ran.
"Sister Shu Ran, weren’t you on a different path than us?"
"... Yeah."
Shu Ran stopped, looked behind her; that was indeed the road she needed to take.
Mu Qiu was speechless, "... I’ve suddenly found Sister Shu Ran to be quite adorable."
Unexpectedly praised as adorable by a girl, Shu Ran was taken aback, feeling slightly uneasy, she retorted.
"I thought I was teaming up with you."
"No, sis, that Sand Alliance was blown apart by the wind, it’s gone! Dissolved! Didn’t it dissolve when you were chasing aggressively just now?"
Chasing her this much, the alliance would be a miracle if it continued.
Guan Yu, unable to run anymore, stopped to listen to their conversation and nodded, "At this point, it’s about who’s gonna seize first; who still rembers about the alliance?"
Their Sand Alliance was blown apart just like that.
Shu Ran, "Just like that?"
Mu Qiu & Guan Yu, "Just like that."
Shu Ran wanted to say sothing about the unpredictability of won, but considering she was also within this category, she refrained, and ran towards the correct road.
"I’ll go on my own then."
Left behind, Mu Qiu and Guan Yu exchanged a glance, realizing they still had a way to go together.
The two rested a while, shifting from running to walking, chatting along the way.
"Sister Guan Yu, who do you think will be the fastest?"
Guan Yu touched her chin and said, "Li Yang’s ’accomplishing sothing great’ is quite hard to complete, and Shu Ran’s too, they lack specific targets. Brother Huai’s, rescuing the one he loves..."
"I find it hard to predict Brother Huai’s course of action and analyze it. In comparison, maybe mine would be easier to complete, just go over and find the blind date, agree with him, and that’s it?"
Indeed, she’s already at the sacrificing-for-the-task stage, huh?
Mu Qiu had a different view, "I think those with no specific targets might actually be the easiest to complete.
As for mine, the chivalric task of fighting the strong and aiding the weak, if soone cooperates, it could be completed quickly as well."
They’ve already analyzed theirs, Shu Ran’s, Li Yang’s, and Shi Yuhuai’s, leaving one person.
Mu Qiu acted as if she didn’t see Guan Yu winking and continued with a straight face, "As for Brother Cheng’s tasks, he ntioned three tasks... wait a minute."
Mu Qiu suddenly stopped.
"What’s wrong?" Guan Yu asked.
"Do you rember what Brother Cheng said his task was?"
"I rember, it was three tasks like imprisonnt, abuse, and torture; didn’t we even... whoa!"
The two of them widened their eyes in shock.
"Brother Cheng only ntioned the three tasks he’d already completed, without ntioning the ultimate task on the identity card."
Guan Yu mouthed the word ’wow’, "So Brother Cheng is hiding a secret?"
Mu Qiu bit her lip, "I suspect his task might be very simple."
"Then is there still any need for us to compete?"
"Compete," Mu Qiu looked at her and said, "We might not win first, but at least we can compete not to be last."
The thought of the outco of being last made Guan Yu nod vigorously, "Compete, compete, compete, I don’t want to be last."
They stacked their hands one over the other, then placed the other hand on top, making it look like there were many people.
"One, two, three! Royal Bomb Combo, go, go, go!"
They lowered their hands, clapped each other’s hands, and parted ways.
When the competition for benefits is no longer apparent, and both parties have already missed the most advantageous first place, the Sand Alliance can also ’reconcile’.
After separating from Guan Yu, Mu Qiu ran onto a previously seen, more crowded street.
And adopted the most straightforward and straightforward approach—
"Is there anyone?! Does anyone need help?!"
"Does anyone need a Female Knight descending from the heavens to fight the strong and help the weak?! Robbing the rich to help the poor is also okay!"
"If you miss this free salvation event, next ti you’ll have to pay!"
"Is anyone really not in need of good deeds?! The Female Knight is leaving!"
She shouted down an alley as she passed by, and when no one answered, she ran to the next alley.
The staff hiding in the alley playing on their phones were startled.

Did any of you notice before? Brother Cheng never revealed his ultimate task; everyone’s focus was on his three bizarre performance tasks at the ti.
So, have you guessed what his ultimate task is?
