Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 27
For Xu Chuyue?
Xia Jinuo paused, then thought about it. She felt Jiang Li’s statement was right; she was indeed saying this to make Jiang Li see Xu Chuyue’s true colors and stay away from her.
“Yes, I think Xu Chuyue, she…”
Xia Jinuo was about to further analyze Xu Chuyue’s perversity beneath her outward appearance to Jiang Li.
“Let’s talk later,” Jiang Li suddenly interrupted Xia Jinuo, stood up, and walked over to Qiqi.
Qiqi’s eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Li. She smiled and said, “I believe everyone must be very curious. Given the huge physical disparity between Alphas and Omegas, and the risk of pheromone leakage, why does the production team still let everyone participate in the competition together? The reason lies with Jiang Li. Now, let’s have Jiang Li demonstrate, and everyone can guess as much as you like.”
Three production staff members together brought up a 60-kilogram barbell.
Han Wutong exclaimed in surprise, “Why are they suddenly bringing out props? They’re not going to make Jiang Li lift it, are they???”
Qiqi smiled and nodded, “You guessed it!”
“Oh my god!” Han Wutong remembered that they were live-streaming and quickly covered her wide-open mouth.
This was 60 kilograms, not 6 kilograms. Most Omegas, due to pheromone influence, had delicate physiques. Normally, being able to lift 10 kilograms was already their limit. Now, Qiqi said Jiang Li was going to challenge a 60-kilogram barbell. All the guests present thought she was joking.
[Is this turning the dating variety show into a comedy show? I’m a Beta and I can’t lift this barbell. If that delicate little Jiang Li can lift it, I’ll eat the barbell live, a 60-kilogram one!]
[Production team, be reliable! If Jiang Li gets hurt because you forced her to lift the barbell, I will definitely furiously insult your planners and send you knives!]
[The production team is shameless for creating such a gimmick for ratings. I strongly boycott this! Why should my Jiang Li compete with Alphas? It’s unfair!]
[Suddenly I understand what Wang Yixi meant by Omegas being useless…]
[Idiot above, understanding anyone is better than understanding that fool Wang who insults and belittles Omegas.]
Although Xia Jinuo didn’t know if Jiang Li could lift the barbell, she wouldn’t pour cold water on someone before it was confirmed.
What if she could? The most important thing to do now wasn’t to be a spoilsport but to cheer her on.
“Clap, clap, clap!” Xia Jinuo clapped vigorously. When Jiang Li looked over, she shouted, “Go, Jiang Li!”
Han Wutong snapped out of it and immediately clapped along with Xia Jinuo, “Jiang Li, you’re the best!”
It’s fine if Alphas look down on Omegas; they can’t force empathy. But Jiang Li is challenging a 60-kilogram barbell. Regardless of whether she succeeds, it’s something worth encouraging. As Omegas, how can they hold her back?
Luo Wei clenched her fists and said, “Jiang Li, you can definitely do it!”
Fang Ling quickly followed, “Jiang Li, we all believe in you!”
For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly “ignited” due to their encouragement. Jiang Li’s eyes, which had been lazily lowered as usual, suddenly lifted, shimmering with a serious light.
She smiled in the direction of the Omegas, “Thank you, I’ll do my best.”
[Aaaah, this is the first time Jiang Li has smiled so beautifully, it’s just a shame it’s directed at the Omegas.]
[There’s also a Ji Jinuo sitting with the Omegas. She’s an Alpha! And Jiang Li only responded to Ji Jinuo’s “Go!” Isn’t this pair shippable???]
[No, no, no, I don’t see what’s shippable about them. Even Ji Jinuo’s good looks don’t make her fans understand.]
[Forbidden to ship evil CPs! I actually think Jiang Li and Ji Jinuo are more like good sisters. After all, Ji Jinuo used to be an Omega. Omegas understand Omegas, Omegas help Omegas.]
The other five Alphas didn’t understand Jiang Li’s actions. They didn’t understand why an Omega would force herself to do something like this, so they naturally couldn’t empathize with the other Omegas’ reactions. They just felt these Omegas were fooling around with Jiang Li.
Jiang Li averted her gaze, put her hands into the friction-increasing powder, bent down, and gripped the middle of the barbell.
The Omegas held their breath, and Xia Jinuo stared intently.
They thought Jiang Li would try hard to lift the barbell, fail once or twice, and then succeed on the third try by lifting it over her head. However, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Li seemed to use barely any strength, and the barbell was easily lifted over her head.
“Ten! Nine! Eight!… Three! Two! One!” Qiqi began counting down. After counting to ten, Jiang Li lowered the barbell again.
Unlike a competition participant who would simply drop it, Jiang Li’s movements were very gentle, trying her best not to leave any marks on the floor tiles.
The entire hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Jiang Li in disbelief.
[Impossible! That’s 60 kilograms!]
[Blind guess for trending topic: the production team and guests are faking it for Jiang Li.]
[An Omega being too strong isn’t good. I bet the barbell definitely isn’t 60 kilograms. I’ve lifted 60 kilograms before, and the muscles in my arms would bulge from the effort. Jiang Li’s arms looked completely normal.]
After an ineffable silence from the Alphas, the sharp-tongued Wang Yixi actually clapped immediately: “Jiang Li, you’re amazing, so powerful!”
His tone was full of doting indulgence, completely unlike his previous venomous remarks to other Omegas.
Lu Chen realized he was a step too slow. He calmly spoke, “It’s almost impossible for an Omega to lift a 60-kilogram barbell, but you did it. That’s very impressive.”
Du Qiuxin and Xie Mu also praised her. Only Xu Chuyue, deep in thought, suddenly spoke, “Is this really 60 kilograms?”
Qiqi was already prepared to naturally move on to the next topic, but Xu Chuyue suddenly interjected. She quickly said, “Of course it’s 60 kilograms! If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourselves.”
Xia Jinuo sensitively detected a faint malice in Xu Chuyue’s words. The audience must be doubting the barbell’s weight right now. Xu Chuyue saying this would only intensify the audience’s suspicion. From then on, no matter who the production team found to lift the barbell as proof, the audience would think they were acting to help Jiang Li.
If Jiang Li were to be cyberbullied because of this, Xu Chuyue’s goal would be achieved.
Truly malicious to the extreme; her intentions were punishable.
To prevent Jiang Li from falling into an endless cycle of self-justification, Xia Jinuo said, “Qiqi, is there a scale in the villa?”
Qiqi said, “There are two electronic scales.”
“Good, please bring them to us.”
The staff quickly brought two electronic scales. Xia Jinuo walked over and stood directly on one of them, asking the VJ to film the number, “49.5 kilograms.”
Stepping off that scale, Xia Jinuo then walked onto the other scale, “49.6 kilograms. The error is only 0.1 kilograms, which means these two scales are quite accurate.”
“Jiang Li, please put the barbell in my hands,” Xia Jinuo said to Jiang Li, remaining on the second scale.
Jiang Li looked at her hand. Xia Jinuo, as if reading her mind, said, “It’s okay, I’m very strong. No need for powder.”
Xu Chuyue had already understood Xia Jinuo’s intention. She gave her a cold glance and sat back on the sofa.
Xia Jinuo was truly a master at stirring up trouble. Although she seemed overly enthusiastic, wanting to help anyone in difficulty, Xu Chuyue still became wary of her.
Jiang Li once again effortlessly picked up the barbell and placed it in Xia Jinuo’s hands. Xia Jinuo took it, her posture even more relaxed than Jiang Li’s, as if there was nothing in her hands.
The VJ, holding the camera, continued to live stream the changing numbers on the scale. After Xia Jinuo took the barbell, the number directly soared to 110 kilograms.
Xia Jinuo stood on the other scale with the barbell, and the number became 109.9 kilograms.
It was immediately clear whether the barbell in Jiang Li’s hands weighed 60 kilograms.
[Where’s the friend who was going to eat the barbell live?]
[How did Jiang Li do it? Did she also undergo secondary differentiation into an Alpha??]
[I still can’t quite believe an Omega can have this much strength. I’ve never seen anyone this strong. Jiang Li definitely has something going on!]
[Um… everyone, have you forgotten that Qiqi had Jiang Li demonstrate lifting the barbell precisely so everyone could guess why an Omega could compete with Alphas?]
[Holy moly! I was so busy questioning and being shocked that I actually forgot! So Jiang Li really has some tech on her??]
[What kind of good stuff is it? This Omega wants it too, aaaah!]
A conspiracy vanished into thin air. The live comments returned to the main topic. The guests present also began to observe and recall, prompted by Qiqi.
What exactly was “wrong” with Jiang Li?
Xia Jinuo didn’t plan to guess; Qiqi would announce the answer anyway.
She casually glanced at Jiang Li and saw that Jiang Li’s original diamond necklace had been replaced by a pearl necklace and bracelet. The lustrous pearls not only didn’t make her skin look darker but instead made it appear as white as snow.
Qiqi asked, “Has anyone observed anything?”
Wang Yixi confidently said, “Jiang Li has become prettier. She’s clearly more beautiful today than yesterday.”
Guests & Qiqi: …
Sweet-talking Wang Yixi, who was saccharine to the point of being nauseating, was just as unbearable as his sharp-tongued counterpart.
Lu Chen adjusted his glasses: “I guess Jiang Li must have found a way to block the influence of Omega pheromones on her. As for how, I can’t guess for now.”
Qiqi’s eyes lit up, “As expected of Lawyer Lu, smart!”
“Does President Xu have any thoughts?” Qiqi asked Xu Chuyue.
Xu Chuyue said, “Injections.” Using medication to inhibit pheromone production was currently the only way to prevent Omega pheromone leakage.
Qiqi: “Not quite, no. Think again, everyone. You’re very close.”
Du Qiuxin and Xie Mu made random guesses, but none were correct.
The camera turned to Xia Jinuo. Qiqi asked, “Does Ji Jinuo have any thoughts?”
Xia Jinuo casually said, “Jiang Li’s pearl necklace and bracelet…” They’re quite pretty.
Qiqi excitedly interrupted Xia Jinuo: “That’s right! The answer is the pearl necklace and bracelet!”
