A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 216: Room Allocation

When Ni Jia eagerly took a bite, his entire face contorted.

He wanted to spit it out immediately, but when he saw Jiang Qin’s beaming face, he forced a smile and said, "It’s... delicious."

"Pfft—" Yun Xie couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

He then quickly walked away to cover it up. "Excuse me, I’m just going to step aside and reply to a message."

Jiang Qin blinked. ’I know exactly what’s going on,’ she thought, but for the sake of getting her pick of the rooms, she had to pretend she didn’t.

She said expectantly, "How about you try the soup now?"

Ni Jia...

’For the sake of my precious anime, I’ll do it!!’

He gritted his teeth and took a sip of the soup, swallowing it right away without daring to actually taste it.

Yet, the bizarre flavor still lingered in his mouth...

Ni Jia forced a smile and continued his praise. "It’s, it’s good."

’SOB... This is horrible. The things I do for anime... I’ve truly sacrificed so much.’

"Then how about you try this dish?" Jiang Qin continued, looking at him expectantly.

’Two dishes and a soup. I need to get good reviews on all of them to pass, and at least a third of it needs to be eaten.’

’This is so hard,’ she thought.

After Ni Jia had tasted everything, Jiang Qin invited him to eat the rest of the meal with her.

Ni Jia... ’As miserable as I am, I can’t bring myself to let a female eat this... strange stuff.’

Besides, he didn’t dare tell the truth, afraid it would crush Jiang Qin.

’After all, she went to the trouble of making dinner for me. If nothing else, she’s the only female besides my mother who has ever personally cooked for me.’

’No matter what, I can’t betray her good intentions.’

So while he was crying on the inside, Ni Jia put on a happy face and said, "But I’m actually feeling a bit hungry. May I eat all of it, Miss Jiang?"

"Oh? Really? Well, go ahead then."

Under Jiang Qin’s watchful eye, Ni Jia forced himself to finish both dishes and the soup.

At first, he thought it was disgusting, but by the end, it was as if he’d gotten used to the taste. He shoveled it all down in a rush.

He didn’t dare chew. He absolutely did not dare to chew.

Seeing Ni Jia’s slightly contorted face, Jiang Qin felt a pang of guilt mixed with a little shame.

She thanked him, and without revealing it was a task, simply said she’d treat him to a meal at a restaurant some other time. Then, she went to find the director to report her task completion.

The director told her, "Miss Jiang, you’re the second person to complete the task, so you get the second pick of the rooms."

Jiang Qin wasn’t surprised by this; in fact, she was pleasantly so.

It had taken her an hour just to cook, and while Ni Jia hadn’t eaten slowly, that part had still taken nearly twenty minutes.

’Getting second place after all that time is pretty good,’ she thought.

...

Since the others hadn’t completed their tasks yet, she went back to her room to wait for the final results.

Yun Xie had been in a great mood ever since the incident, the corners of his mouth permanently curved upward.

Jiang Qin was speechless. "Are you really that happy to see someone else suffer?"

"Not at all. I don’t think he’s suffering. I think he’s lucky to be able to eat a meal you put your heart into preparing."

"Then what are you snickering about?"

"Hmph. It’s nothing. Just a guy’s twisted sense of humor."

’Seeing a potential rival grimace while forcing a smile—how is that not hilarious?’

’It’s absolutely hysterical.’

’Especially that Ni Jia. He even shot me a smug glance at the beginning. Don’t think for a second I didn’t know what that meant.’

’He was just trying to show off that Qinqin had brought *him* dinner, and right in front of me, her partner, who didn’t get a single bite.’

’Hmph. As soon as the room selection is over, I’m going to tell him it was all just a task requirement!’

’That’ll stop Brother Dark Happiness from getting any more secret satisfaction out of it.’

***

Soon, the order for room selection was announced.

Upon their arrival on Neptune, Denise, who had finished first, didn’t hesitate to choose the largest room with the best view.

Jiang Qin, not to be outdone, picked the second-largest room, which also had a balcony.

The third to choose was Ji Susu. She intentionally selected a room far away from the others.

Next was Kasha, and Natalia was the last to choose.

Even though her room was still quite decent, her expression remained dark and sullen.

Long Hao couldn’t help but let out a derisive snort.

However, since he didn’t specify who he was mocking, no one was sure if he was laughing at Natalia or someone else.

The choices of the five male participants were also very telling.

Naturally, those with a choice would pick a room next to the female they were interested in.

So, when Jiang Qingfeng chose the room to Jiang Qin’s left, everyone was stunned.

According to everyone’s speculation, he should have been there for the S-level female, Natalia.

No one expected him to choose a room next to Jiang Qin...

Ni Jia was also gobsmacked. He had thought no one would compete with him for that spot, but just like that, one of the rooms next to her was gone.

Now he started to panic, because he was the very last one to choose...

As for the reason why, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, but every viewer watching the livestream had seen it all.

[LMAO, Ni Jia ran to the bathroom like five times after eating Qin Bao’s dinner.]

[At this moment, I’ve decided I’m no longer jealous of Qin Bao’s partners. I’m actually starting to feel sorry for them.]

[I’m different. I’m actually really curious about this "dark cuisine."]

[I think it’s probably Ni Jia’s own issue. The ingredients were fresh, and Qin Bao was very hygienic while cooking. How could he possibly get an upset stomach?]

[Exactly. It was just a little gross, at worst. It wasn’t burnt or spoiled, so how could it give him diarrhea?

It must be his own weak stomach. He’s just trying to frame Qin Bao.]

[Anyway, regardless of the reason, the fact is he lost time, and now he’s out of options.]

[LMAO, he looks so nervous right now. Don’t tell me he actually thought the last remaining room would be one next to Qin Bao?]

[I can’t figure out why the Young Marshal would choose the room next to her, either. What if that low-class female from the Federation harasses him!!!]

...

Regardless of how many people were astonished, Jiang Qingfeng had made his choice.

The second to choose was Long Hao. And what shocked everyone was that he actually chose the room to Jiang Qin’s *right*!

Now, there were only three males left to choose from the empty rooms beside the four remaining females...

The third to choose was Yuan Ling. He didn’t pick a room next to any of the females, instead opting for a room in a corner on the first floor.

The room was so small, one might suspect it had been converted from a storage closet.

The lighting wasn’t good, either, as it only had a single window.

It wasn’t a suite, either; he would have to use the bathroom down the hall.

When it was the fourth person’s turn, the new Best Actor, Apollo, glanced at Natalia before choosing the room next to Denise.

’That was probably a political move,’ Jiang Qin thought.

When it was finally Ni Jia’s turn, he was in a bind. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Finally, he gritted his teeth and chose the room next to Yuan Ling, deciding to keep him company.

Ji Susu asked in surprise, "You’re not choosing the room next to mine?"

Even more surprised than her was Ni Jia. "Why would I choose the room next to yours?"

"Hold on, Ni Jia, that’s not cool. Didn’t you come on this show to pursue me?"

"Huh??"
