Snatching the Scumbag Alphas’ White Moonlight in a Dating Variety Show [Transmigration] - Chapter 31

Everyone was stunned by Jiang Li’s actions. Surrounded by numerous enigmatic glances, Jiang Li remained composed, as if her “smelling” an Alpha was the most normal thing in the world.

Luo Wei suddenly walked over and said to Jiang Li, “I don’t want the Alphas to smell me. Jiang Li, would you smell me instead?”

Jiang Li nodded gently, “Of course.”

Han Wutong also grabbed Fang Ling’s hand, “Let’s smell each other!”

At this point, Jiang Li’s act of smelling Xia Jinuo had a reasonable explanation and motive. Feeling the Alphas’ gazes shift away from her face, Xia Jinuo, who had been trying to maintain her composure, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was so close to becoming the love rival of all the scumbag Alphas.

Luckily, Luo Wei was quick-witted and helped her and Jiang Li out of the predicament.

Jiang Li was also wonderful, directly saving her from being smelled by five scumbag Alphas. She was truly a beautiful, angelic presence.

This further strengthened Xia Jinuo’s resolve to save Jiang Li.

After all the Omegas had finished smelling each other, Qiqi walked over and said, “Since the pheromone-shielding necklaces won’t show their effects so quickly, according to Jiang Li’s wearing progress, we’ll hold the real competition in ten days. Today’s competition won’t require too much mental or physical effort.”

Xie Mu and Fang Ling had already formed a team and only needed to sit aside as judges. The other Alphas were all full of fighting spirit, determined to win.

Firstly, because Jiang Li hadn’t been chosen yet. Secondly, there were more Alphas than Omegas, so the last-place person would definitely have to date an Alpha.

Dating an Alpha—just thinking about it made them want to vomit.

Even with the Alpha pheromone-shielding collars on, and without smelling the other person’s scent, while the physiological barrier was overcome, the psychological barrier still needed more time to adapt and accept.

The eight guests followed Qiqi to the courtyard behind the villa. The staff had already set up the area. There were eight tables, each with effortless puzzle games like Huarong Road, Tangrams, and Rubik’s Cubes. There was also a timer in the upper right corner of each table.

After Qiqi announced the rules, the Alphas and Omegas were all a bit perplexed, unsure how to start.

These were indeed toys they played with as children, but they had been out of childhood for over a decade. They might not remember the formulas, and if they couldn’t even solve a simple Rubik’s Cube, they would be humiliated in front of all the viewers.

“Qiqi, I think a time limit would be better,” Luo Wei suggested. “If you can’t solve it within the time limit, it counts as a failure and you get no points. Otherwise, if it takes half an hour, wouldn’t it waste too much time?”

Qiqi hadn’t spoken yet when Lu Chen said, “Theoretically, Qiqi’s tiered scoring system is the fairest. Otherwise, there’s no difference between finishing early and finishing late, which isn’t fair to smart people.”

Lu Chen was glad he had a younger brother. Before coming to the dating variety show, he had just played Rubik’s Cube with his brother, re-memorizing the formulas, and his hand speed was quite good.

“So, the previous rules can remain unchanged, just set a time limit. Exceeding the time limit means zero points.”

“That sounds good.”

“Acceptable.”

Lu Chen’s suggestion received a lot of agreement.

Wang Yixi couldn’t stand him showing off. He snorted and said, “Doesn’t not finishing look even more shameful? At least without a time limit, there’s still a chance to complete it.”

Lu Chen didn’t want to bother with Wang Yixi, but Wang Yixi’s words had some merit, even gaining a few supporters.

The two were at a stalemate, and it seemed they were about to confront each other again. Qiqi was in a dilemma because she also thought both Wang Yixi and Lu Chen made good points.

“How about both modes are available, and guests can choose their own competition mode?” Xia Jinuo gently suggested. “Some people don’t want to waste time, others prefer to persist and finish. Anyway, everyone has an individual timer on their table. As long as the judges monitor the timing, everyone won’t affect each other.”

“But we don’t have eight judges,” Qiqi said awkwardly.

“How many do we have now?” Xia Jinuo asked.

Qiqi: “Including Xie Mu and Fang Ling, only four.”

Xia Jinuo relaxed. “Simple. Just have two guests finish the competition quickly, and then they can be judges.”

Lu Chen and the others exchanged glances, thinking this was a good idea. Although they hadn’t played these games in a long time, their Alpha confidence made them sure they would be the fastest.

Becoming one of the top two and being able to judge others was such an appealing condition.

“Okay,” everyone nodded in agreement. Even Wang Yixi didn’t find fault this time.

Everyone stood in front of their tables, eager to start.

The four judges each monitored two people. Xie Mu watched Wang Yixi and Lu Chen, Fang Ling watched Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li. Qiqi blew a whistle, and after the judges pressed the timer, they immediately began.

Xia Jinuo made this suggestion because she knew Jiang Li was very good at these games. Indeed, after only two minutes, while others had just completed one or two, Jiang Li had already finished all the games, pressing the end button. The timer in the upper right corner stopped at one minute and forty-eight seconds.

[Wow, is this Jiang Li’s strength? She’s really stronger than an Alpha! I’m so looking forward to the day I surpass the Alphas around me and make them kneel and sing their defeat!]

[How exciting! Originally, the Alpha who came in first would choose their preferred Omega, but now us Omegas are also rising up for reverse selection~ Happy~]

[Wuwu, the production team is so good, Mr. Li Qin is noble. We Omegas will remember you forever.]

Li Qin, seeing the comments in the backend: …No need to remember me; I’m just the ostensible leader.

Xia Jinuo saw that Jiang Li had finished and was waiting for the next person, but after three minutes, no one else had finished. She looked up and saw Qiqi’s pleading gaze. Xia Jinuo sighed, and with a few quick moves, she solved the Rubik’s Cube. “Beep—” The timer in the upper right corner stopped at four minutes and three seconds.

With the top two finishers, there were enough judges. Staff immediately came over to give both of them judge badges.

Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li exchanged glances, their eyes slightly curved.

Jiang Li even smiled for a rare moment and quietly praised, “You did very well.”

For some reason, Xia Jinuo suddenly remembered being sniffed closely by Jiang Li. Even though Jiang Li was just being kind and helping her out, her heart raced at the other’s beauty.

Even now, seeing Jiang Li’s smile, her steady heartbeat quickened again.

Xia Jinuo’s ears flushed with embarrassment. She looked away and said, “Not as good as you.”

Jiang Li saw her turn her head, revealing her flushed ears, and was slightly startled.

Xia Jinuo quickly forgot the unusual feeling in her heart and stood in front of Luo Wei, focusing on being a judge. Jiang Li stood in front of Han Wutong, and while watching Han Wutong, she unconsciously paid attention to Xia Jinuo’s movements.

Xia Jinuo’s ears were red just now.

Why?

Was it because I praised her?

A faint smile bloomed in Jiang Li’s eyes. Indeed, she’s young and likes to be praised. I can find opportunities to praise her more in the future, to thank her for her help today.

Not far away, Wang Yixi thought he could easily win this simple game. However, once he started, he couldn’t do anything right. He was naturally impatient and got stuck on Huarong Road for five or six minutes. He glanced sideways and saw that Lu Chen had already finished his Tangram and just picked up the Rubik’s Cube.

Wang Yixi didn’t want to lose to anyone, especially not this pretentious lawyer. He was about to find an opportunity to cause trouble when Xie Mu, the judge standing in front of him, suddenly said, “Wang Yixi cheated by looking at the next table. Deduct one point.”

Wang Yixi immediately became furious, “Why are you watching me instead of Lu Chen? Are you deliberately looking for trouble?!”

Xie Mu said with a cold expression, “Threatening the judge, Wang Yixi gets another point deducted.”

“You!” Wang Yixi looked up and realized that another judge assigned by the production team was already standing in front of Lu Chen, which meant two guests had already finished their tasks.

Who was it?

Wang Yixi was about to look further away when a board blocked his view. Xie Mu ruthlessly deducted points: “Wang Yixi looking around. Deduct one point.”

Wang Yixi: “…Damn it!”

Wang Yixi was afraid of further deductions. He was angry but dared not speak, sullenly lowering his head to continue the task.

The two Omegas in front of Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li were stuck on the Tangrams. The more anxious they got, the more flustered they became. Their minds were racing and they couldn’t think, leading to more mistakes, and thus more panic. In this vicious cycle, sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Jiang Li had always advocated for independence, but Xia Jinuo was completely different from her.

Xia Jinuo softly comforted them, “Don’t rush. I just saw, you’re not the slowest.”

Her gentle voice soothed Luo Wei and Han Wutong’s anxiety. The two looked up at Xia Jinuo gratefully, took a deep breath, and began to focus on the task at hand.

By the time all the guests had finished, just over half an hour had passed.

Wang Yixi couldn’t believe he had lost to all the Alphas and Omegas. His face turned pale then green.

Qiqi said, “Our temporary rankings are out. First, Jiang Li. Second, Xia Jinuo. Third, Lu Chen… Eighth, Wang Yixi. This is just one stage of the competition. This afternoon, there will be a physical challenge that won’t require much stamina. Everyone, work hard; maybe you can make a comeback~”

Wang Yixi’s expression finally brightened upon hearing this. He still had a chance.

As for the other Alphas, their gazes all fell on Xia Jinuo and Jiang Li.

Everyone knew Jiang Li’s beauty and intelligence, and since she had been wearing the pheromone-shielding necklace for some time, her current performance was normal.

What was abnormal was Xia Jinuo.

Why could Xia Jinuo win against them? She was just a half-Alpha.

Xia Jinuo regretted showing off a bit now. She had already held back; she only took second place because the actual second-place finisher hadn’t emerged yet.

She hadn’t expected that merely worrying about her suggestion would lead to being targeted by the Alphas.

Xia Jinuo maintained a smile on her face, thinking that for the afternoon competition, she would definitely remember to hide her true abilities.
