Reincarnated As A Fox With System (WN)
chapter-775

The innocent-looking fox girl, who acted as the party host, began to explain the rules to join the contest one by one clearly.

First, only the foxes below the Spirit Beast level could participate in the contest.

Second, the participants could only win the contest with their own abilities without help from anyone or any treasures, so the participants surely were not allowed to cooperate with each other.

Third, again... you could not use any kind of treasure in the contest or you would really be disqualified on the spot.

Then the foxes who wanted to participate in the contest were told to go up on the grand stage.

Both Tang Li Xue and Instructor Mei Lan along with the other foxes began to step onto the grand stage one by one.

The beautiful blonde fox lady also urged the trio of Princess Yan Fei, Bingbing, and Silly Fox to go up onto the grand stage with a playful tone: "Come on, you three~! You all can participate in that contest to represent us!"

"Eh? But..." Bingbing muttered in a reluctant tone while staring at Teacher Bai Wuchen.

"XUE~!" Silly Fox became extremely excited when he saw Tang Li Xue was already on the grand stage, so he hastily went onto the grand stage too without any hesitation.

"Hic... You all can go if you want! The prizes of the contest seem to be quite generous." Teacher Bai Wuchen said in a nonchalant tone while greedily gulping the wine on the table.

Bingbing nodded to Teacher Bai Wuchen and jumped onto the grand stage too.

"You do not want to participate like your other friends?" The beautiful blonde fox lady asked Princess Yan Fei curiously.

Princess Yan Fei shook her head in a helpless tone and frustratedly said: "No, I do not want to be the only Sea Beast who participates in the contest. That will be too embarrassing."

Moreover, her overall strength and abilities were greatly weakened on the land, so it should be impossible for her to win the contest against any foxes.

Princess Yan Fei chose not to participate in this contest instead of embarrassing herself in front of everyone. Even though she actually really wanted to play around with her Brother Sheng in this contest so badly.

Silly Fox: "Xue~!"

Bingbing: "Little Xue~!"

Both Silly Fox and Bingbing happily called Tang Li Xue as they ran toward them.

"Hey~! You guys actually come here too?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise, but she still felt much happier and reassured with more people... or rather foxes she knew in this contest.

"We saw you being taken by the suspicious carriage, so we thought you got kidnapped by someone." Bingbing uttered a random excuse while blushing in shame.

But Silly Fox nodded seriously and added: "Thus we chased you here, but we could not enter this place. Thankfully Teacher Bai Wuchen and... his wife brought us in with them."

"Teacher Bai Wuchen's wife?" Tang Li Xue's gossip heart ignited once again.

"Tsk~! You guys really know how to play. You can even enter an important ceremonial event like this by playing detective." Instructor Mei Lan clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Instructor Lan~?! You... You... also come and participate in this contest?!" Both Silly Fox and Bingbing blurted in surprise at the same time.

Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes while replying displeasantly: "I really did not want to come, but my old man forced me to come to this boring party and participate in this contest."

Just when Instructor Mei Lan and her three students were talking to each other, a mocking voice suddenly resounded from behind them: "Well, well... Loser foxes would always want to cuddle and comfort each other, but you all should remember that no one is allowed to cooperate with each other in this contest."

When Tang Li Xue, Instructor Mei Lan, Silly Fox, and Bingbing turned around, they actually saw Zi Yan and Bing Shui also step onto the grand stage to participate in this contest.

"Bing Shui~!" Bingbing gnashed her teeth as her eyes became bloodshot in great anger and resentment.

Instructor Mei Lan sneered coldly at them and replied: "Then we will see who is the loser fox later."

Zi Yan opened her mouth as she seemed to want to argue with Instructor Mei Lan, but she suddenly swallowed her words back and harrumphed coldly before she walked away from Instructor Mei Lan and her three students.

It looked like her older sister, President Zi Hua, secretly told her with telepathy to not embarrass herself especially since they were on the top of the grand stage right now, and they were in plain view of every important guest below.

But another acquaintance approached their group again and playfully greeted Instructor Mei Lan: "Yo, Mei Lan~!"

"Zhiruo?! So, you also come to this party and participate in this contest?!" Instructor Mei Lan chuckled while exclaiming in surprise.

Yes, this long red-haired fox girl was another teacher Tang Li Xue and the others had met in the trial to enter Myriad Foxes Academy.

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath and thought deeply: 'It seems this contest is not simple since so many powerful foxes participate in it.'

After 20 to 30 foxes who wanted to participate in the contest were on the grand stage, the party host began to explain the first contest to them.

"All right, let's begin the first contest~! I call it, the stone betting contest!"

"There are thousands of fossil stones inside the room on your left."

"Those fossil stones can be empty or they can contain something extremely precious. Everything depends on luck."

"Each of you can pick one fossil stone and bring it back onto this grand stage."

"Then later, we will crack open your chosen fossil stone in front of everyone to see which one can obtain the most precious treasure from the fossil stone!"

"Only ten foxes who can obtain the most precious treasures from the fossil stone can proceed to the next stage of the contest."

"Moreover, any treasure you find from your fossil stone layer will be yours for free of charge. Are you excited? Are you happy? Hehehe..."

"Are you ready~?! Let's begin now~!"

The party host started the contest after she explained the first contest to all contestants.

All foxes on the grand stage including Instructor Mei Lan and her three students entered the vast room on the left of the grand stage.

There were thousands of fossil stones inside the vast room, and their size varied from each other.

Those fossil stones were actually like turbid crystals, and no one could tell what was inside them until they cracked them open.

The biggest fossil stones were as big as a one-meter tall boulder, while the smallest fossil stones were only as big as a thumb.

Of course, the bigger the fossil stone did not mean the more precious the treasure inside it would be.

All of the participants immediately spread out as they hastily took and looked at the fossil stones one by one carefully.

Even Instructor Mei Lan also separated from her three students and began to choose her fossil stone carefully.

"Uhh, Little Xue... Should we just choose the fossil stone randomly?" Bingbing asked in a reluctant tone.

Tang Li Xue did not immediately reply as she frowned deeply unhappily.

Tang Li Xue knew that her luck in this kind of game was not particularly good.

Even in her previous life, Tang Li Xue would rarely win every time she played any luck-related game like this one.

'Damn it~! What kind of shitty game is this?! I thought the contest would be like a Beauty Contest or something like that! In that case, I would definitely have a pretty high chance of winning!' Tang Li Xue complained in annoyance.

Tang Li Xue approached the pile of fossil stones and began to examine them one by one, but she could not even differentiate which one would contain treasure or empty.

Even her [Extrasensory Perception] was completely useless at this moment since it would only help her sense any incoming danger ahead of time, not to sense any nearby treasure.

Tang Li Xue sighed in disappointment while murmuring: "Alas... I would definitely be able to find the most precious treasure if my perfect copy can use [Paranormal Intuition] at this time."

"Unfortunately, my perfect copy still fainted after she used [Paranormal Intuition] during the day to deduce the clue about the Heartless Cave."

Tang Li Xue really regretted that her perfect copy could not use [Paranormal Intuition] at this time, since if she could find the most precious treasure among these fossil stones, then she could obtain it for completely free.

But a light bulb of inspiration suddenly flashed in Tang Li Xue's mind as her topaz blue eyes shone brighter in excitement.

"Wait a minute... Heartless Cave?! I am so stupid! How could I forget about that?!" Tang Li Xue jumped while laughing in excitement.

Even Bingbing and Silly Fox, who stood right beside her, were staring at her strangely.
