Chapter 205 1 Question 1 Answer

"Ahem, ahem, well then, our first-ever 'Question and Answer, Loser Drinks Contest' officially begins!!!"

“Clang, bang, clang—”

Ling Yan was incredibly excited, so much so that he even gave the competition a name that looked rather perfunctory. Not only did he come up with a name, he also started banging on his bowl, creating his own background music.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you been secretly drinking?"

Sitting next to Lingyan, Lingji, who was eating quietly, heard Lingyan's loud and boisterous words and subconsciously tugged at him, asking if he had been drinking.

"Me? Just a little bit! Hehehe. (??▽?)?"

Ling Yan suddenly felt a force gently tugging at the hem of his clothes. He frowned slightly and turned his head slowly with a hint of doubt.

When his gaze met that source of power, he was stunned. It turned out that sitting beside him was Lingji.

Lingji, meanwhile, was holding his forehead with a helpless expression, seemingly having a major headache about the situation.

Upon closer inspection, Lingyan's current state was indeed somewhat abnormal.

His once fair face was now flushed red, like a ripe apple. His eyes, which usually sparkled with lively light, were now hazy, as if veiled by a thin mist.

Especially his naturally charming eyes, which were now watery and clear like a spring, made people want to reach out and gently pinch his rosy cheeks.

"So, how much did you drink?"

Lingji thought for a moment, but couldn't resist. While asking him, he reached out his wicked hand and pinched Lingyan's cheek.

"Um, just one cup."

Lingyan wasn't annoyed at all when Lingji pinched his face, and just let him pinch it. He was drunk, so he became very good-tempered, and softly pointed to a small cup in front of him.

Judging by the size, the cup is the kind people usually use to drink baijiu (Chinese liquor). If you're drinking...

The problem is, all the wine on their table is fruit wine. They had other things to do in the afternoon, so even the beer was from Lingluo's place, which they were given to use for the Q&A session.

"You! Oh well, fine."

Seeing his expression, Lingji could only shake his head.

"Captain, Lingyan won't participate in the afternoon's activities, I'll take care of his."

Lingji turned to Lingye and said.

"It's alright. This afternoon is mainly for organizing materials. It doesn't matter whether he's there or not. Don't worry about him. Let him go and let him host the program."

Perhaps it wasn't anything important, so Ling Ye looked on with amusement. He even asked Ling Ji to release Ling Yan so that he could host the question-and-answer session.

"Yes, let's get started."

Earl urged them on from the side.

"alright."

Lingji rolled her eyes at these people who seemed to enjoy the drama, and released Lingyan.

"Honey, want a massage?"

Lingyan leaned closer with hazy eyes, calling out in a sweet voice.

"Who, who's your wife! Get back to your business!!!"

Upon hearing this, Lingji simply shoved Lingyan and ignored him.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my wife."

Lingyan then turned to look at Earl and Lingluo.

"Ahem, ahem, everyone look at me! Now, let's begin the competition. Lingluo will start by asking questions!"

After Lingyan saw that everyone was looking at him, he stood up in a conspicuous manner, waved to everyone, and said.

"Okay, I'll ask first. I'd like to ask what you meant when you said earlier that everyone should vote against something?"

Linglu immediately started asking the questions she had wanted to know from the beginning.

"Oh, you mean that (chewing). It's our council's vote (chewing). I was assigned to vote because I'm on good terms with Meros (chewing). (chewing)"

When Earl heard it was this question, he said it nonchalantly, even picking up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with his chopsticks and gnawing on it, talking without stopping eating.

“Okay, Earl, it’s your turn to ask.”

Lingyan directly asked Earl to ask questions, which made Earl take a second look. Even when he was drunk, he was so articulate.

"Okay, then I'll ask you a question. If I were to hire you as my chef, how much would you charge per month?"

Earl's question was very sincere. His eyes were fixed on Lingluo, and he hadn't even eaten anything. It seemed that he was really satisfied with Lingluo's cooking.

"Well... to be honest, I cook as a hobby, so I'm not considering becoming a chef. I only cook for my family and friends."

Lingluo considered it carefully and gave Earl an answer.

"Then, let's call each other friends!"

Earl pressed for more details.

"Hey, hey, hey! You have to follow the rules. Each person gets one question. You can ask your question next time. Now it's Lingluo's turn!"

Lingyan strictly followed the rules and quickly stopped Er.

"Tsk, fine. You asked."

Earl rolled his eyes at Lingyan.

"Okay, it's my turn."

"I'd like to ask, what does your council's vote have to do with us, and what happens if the vote passes?"

Linglu asked a very clear question.

"That's two problems. Well, never mind, I'll give you the second one."

Earl was very generous.

"Firstly, the council's last vote was about whether to completely invade you and occupy the Fengming Star System. I voted against it, since it's completely unnecessary. We already occupy so many resource planets, there's no benefit in going through the trouble of occupying you."

"As for what will happen if it passes, it's obvious."

Earl said these words with a smile, regardless of what kind of shock they might cause.

"!!!!!!"

"!!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this news, everyone present at Lingye was dumbfounded, their faces filled with astonishment.

If those alien races were to launch a full-scale attack on them at this very moment, the consequences would be unimaginable!

With the current capabilities of humanity, we are utterly powerless to resist.

In this very first encounter, more than 90 percent of humanity would likely be slaughtered and wiped out instantly.

And the small number of people who were lucky enough to survive had absolutely no chance of organizing any effective counterattack.

After all, the disparity in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

Ultimately, the most optimistic outcome might be that humanity becomes completely enslaved by other races, treated like livestock to be driven and slaughtered, with no hope of ever rising up again.

If things aren't looking good, we might be completely exterminated and disappear into this galaxy.

"Don't be nervous. Look, they haven't come yet, so don't worry. Even if they do get through, nothing will happen to them."

Seeing how nervous they were, Earl couldn't help but offer them words of comfort.
