A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 121: Ground Racetrack

The afternoon event was a ground race.

Flying Cars didn’t just fly in the sky.

The Flying Car Drivers whose vehicles had exploded during the morning’s relay race had also switched to new Flying Cars.

The Flying Car race was held once every three years, so the Federation had three years to prepare their vehicles.

To be safe, each Flying Car Driver brought two modified Flying Cars that they frequently used in their daily training.

A third one was kept by the head coach for safekeeping.

’This must be the whole ’don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ strategy.’

But based on their performance that morning, Jiang Qin felt they hadn’t brought enough "eggs." They needed at least five cars each.

Now, they were down to their last two Flying Cars, and one had to be kept as a spare. They probably couldn’t use the same reckless, all-or-nothing racing style for this event.

’The Federation Team must have gone all-in, hoping to see if they could snatch the ten points from the relay race.’

’After all, those ten points were the most critical.’

’In the following events, first place was usually only worth three points, and second and third place also earned points.’

’If they had secured those ten points, the Federation would have had a chance at the championship. If not, the worst-case scenario was just a repeat of previous years.’

’So it was a gamble worth taking!’

Although the gamble hadn’t paid off, it proved that the gap could be closed.

As a result, morale hadn’t dropped. In fact, it had soared even higher!

***

The ground race consisted of three rounds.

In each round, one person was sent out. The first to complete five laps would take first place.

In the stands, a high-energy song and dance performance was underway.

Jiang Qin was still wearing her red and white Combat Suit, but she wasn’t in the audience. Instead, she was waiting below the stands to go on stage.

"The ground race is about to begin! Now, let’s welcome our special guest, Miss Jiang Qin, to sing the warm-up song, ’Chapter’!"

"Ooh~ ho~"

An ethereal voice echoed through the stadium.

"Don’t let the dark clouds hide the sky’s blue

Don’t let fate turn back the oarless boat

Don’t let the long night fall into your arms..."

...

The rhythm gradually swelled.

Jiang Qin’s voice grew more powerful:

"Whenever I have known sorrow

And been drenched by the downpour

A flower blooms from the mud

Just let it grow..."

Sitting in the audience, Cang Hong, who was wearing a mask and a hat, waved the Federation flag in his hand.

He had heard that Jiang Qin was staying to watch the Flying Car race, so he had postponed his work to stay a few extra days.

’He was just worried that his intentions would be exposed too quickly, leading to rejection and ruining any chance of even being friends.’

’So he restrained himself from going to see Jiang Qin.’

’He didn’t try to arrange a "chance" encounter or make excuses to ask her out.’

’He just quietly bought a ticket and came in. He didn’t even ask where she was sitting, thinking it would be nice enough just to watch the same event together.’

’They were watching the same event. How could that not be considered a date?’

But as it turned out, the organizers had actually invited Miss Jiang to sing.

’What an unexpected and pleasant surprise.’

’He would definitely have to go on the Star Network later and leave a glowing review for this year’s organizers!’

"Ignite the little dream

Fearless, chasing the wind barefoot

Just after being brave..."

Jiang Qin’s Spiritual Body appeared again.

It flew with incredible speed to the side of Bai Mufeng, who was preparing on the track, and circled around him, emitting a fluorescent white light.

Bai Mufeng, who had been enduring the damage to his Spirit Sea, instantly felt a cool sensation spread throughout his body.

For a moment, he almost couldn’t stop himself from letting out a sigh of comfort.

’If his reason hadn’t kicked in just in time, he feared he would have embarrassed himself in front of everyone.’

However...

Looking at the rabbit Spiritual Body that had settled down in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a warmth spread through his heart.

’A Spiritual Body acts entirely based on its owner’s thoughts.’

’So, does this mean Miss Jiang noticed his Spirit Sea was damaged and is using this opportunity to soothe it for him?’

Bai Mufeng, who was normally unwilling to accept soothing, for the first time did not resist being soothed by a female outside his family.

’But... isn’t she a C-level female?’

’Why is the effect of this soothing so pronounced?’

’Is it just his imagination, or is there something special about her soothing method?’

Whatever the reason, he didn’t have time to dwell on it now.

The race was about to start!

As the countdown ended, three Flying Cars of different colors shot out, skimming across the ground.

Jiang Qin had already started singing the second verse.

Her idle Spiritual Body hopped around the waiting area, standing guard over the Federation Flying Team’s section and radiating its light and warmth.

Tao Haochuan was one of the beneficiaries. He wanted to go play with the little rabbit, but the thought that it was a female’s Spiritual Body made him blush.

The others felt the same way. Although they really wanted to thank the little rabbit, none of them dared to get close to it.

’They were afraid of being disliked.’

Some females disliked others getting near their Spiritual Body, especially when it was "working."

But Tao Haochuan couldn’t help but praise, "This Miss Jiang Qin’s Spiritual Body is really cute."

"Unlike an ordinary little white rabbit, Miss Jiang’s Spiritual Body has golden ear tips and a golden tail tip."

"Its rabbit eyes are also flecked with gold."

"And there’s that little ring of golden fur around its neck, just like a gold necklace."

"I wonder what kind of rabbit-clan Genes Miss Jiang has. There doesn’t seem to be anything like it in the Beastman encyclopedia."

"It’s very cute, and also very strange. It can actually leave its owner’s body on its own and travel such a long distance away..."

Their position wasn’t far from the stage, but it wasn’t exactly close, either.

So everyone found it quite strange.

"Someone said before that Miss Jiang’s situation was a sign of her Spiritual Body being out of control. But to me, it looks pretty stable, don’t you think?"

"It’s because they’re ignorant. They probably could never imagine that a female could let her Spiritual Body leave her body without... mating."

"SHH! Shut your mouth!"

The person being glared at fiercely by his teammates quickly clamped his hands over his mouth.

’I almost forgot! This is a Federation secret!’

’Even if I said it out loud, probably no one would believe it, but I still can’t actually say it!’

***

However, although the people from the Empire and the Myriad Races didn’t think of it in a positive light and only saw Jiang Qin’s Spiritual Body as unstable, they still had plenty of complaints.

"That Spiritual Body just now, was it soothing the Federation’s Flying Car Driver?"

"Yeah, isn’t that totally unfair?"

Some were dissatisfied, while others were dismissive. "Hmph. So what if he got a temporary soothing? This is a Flying Car race, not a spiritual power competition."

"It’s a test of the Flying Car’s performance and the driver’s skill!"

"Only those incompetent fools from the Federation would need a female even for a simple Flying Car race."

"Let’s be a little understanding. After all, the genetic flaws of the Federation people are much greater than ours. It’s normal for them to need constant soothing."

The females from the Empire, not understanding the situation, chose to believe what everyone was saying.

They looked at the still-singing Jiang Qin with pity, their tone full of regret. "Heavens, does that mean the females in the Federation have no freedom at all?"

"Having to provide soothing at all times... I can’t even imagine how exhausted their females must be."

"This female is quite talented. Couldn’t one of our Empire’s companies sign her?

"In the Federation, she can only be a tool for the males. It’s such a waste of her talent..."
