My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 421: Chapter 275: The Apocalypse Is Nigh, Civilization Endures, the Li Family Village Gala, Bridging the Old and New

This year’s village gala had an apocalypse theme. Jiang Cai’Er was in charge, with Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui assisting. Their plan was incredibly detailed, and they were fully prepared for anything.

Originally, Yao Yao was supposed to take the lead, but Jiang Cai’Er’s vacation started early, didn’t it? If she wanted to be the boss, who could stop her?

Besides, Jiang Cai’Er’s Superpowers were unique: Memory Palace, Quantum Computer, Imaginary Number Corridor... Not to mention her god-like intellect, her methods were simply inconceivable. She possessed the world’s most powerful brain, allowing her to masterfully strategize and arrange everything in perfect order.

In this regard, the three ”underachievers”—Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui—felt they couldn’t compare.

So Yao Yao proactively stepped aside. She was very tactful. In other words, she had high emotional intelligence, and Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were no different.

In this respect, however, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui had the upper hand over Jiang Cai’Er. When the three of them joined forces, they could effortlessly talk her into a state of pure delight (making her completely pliable), leaving Li Xiang utterly amazed.

’Holy crap, you can do that?’ Li Xiang felt that Jiang Cai’Er’s main disadvantage was her lack of social experience. Her IQ was off the charts, but her EQ was lagging by more than just a little.

Of course, the main issue was her inability to withstand flattery—a few casual compliments and she’d completely lose her bearings.

However, the three women’s skill in flattery was top-notch. It was subtle, yet every word seemed to come from the heart, leaving no trace of sycophancy. Never mind Jiang Cai’Er; even Li Xiang sometimes found himself getting carried away.

Taking advantage of the village gala, Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing both brought their younger brothers and cousins. Most of them were quite young, with the oldest only in the eighth grade. They wanted to look out for their younger relatives, letting them meet Li Xiang in advance to make an impression. Perhaps when they grew up, they could be given important roles.

As for Lei Xiaohui, a dozen or so people from Lei Family Gully had joined the team, and with her own brother, Lei Jiaming, among them, those people were naturally close to her. If the other two didn’t bring anyone, they felt they would be at a disadvantage and be overshadowed by Lei Xiaohui in the future.

Luo Feifei didn’t come. As a top actress and ”national goddess,” she had received countless invitations from TV stations to participate in New Year’s Eve galas. Aside from CCTV, many New Year’s Eve shows were pre-recorded. But even for CCTV, she had to attend rehearsals and the like, leaving her no time to come to Li Family Village.

Luo Feifei called Li Xiang to apologize.

”It’s fine, just come next time you’re free.” Li Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. During a rehearsal with Jiang Cai’Er, the little rascal had privately seemed to be spoiling for a fight, saying that if Luo Feifei came, she would challenge her to a contest to see who was more powerful!

Li Xiang didn’t know who was more powerful either, but if they really fought, it would be utter chaos. They might as well cancel the gala. It would become a laughingstock across the entire internet.

Hearing that Luo Feifei wasn’t coming, Jiang Cai’Er was quite disappointed.

She had already learned from the internet that Li Xiang and Luo Feifei had been in India together, posing as Divine Envoys, appearing inseparable. While they might have fooled outsiders, they couldn’t fool her. She was furious inside.

Originally, the role of the Divine Envoy should have been hers, but she had school and didn’t have the chance to go gallivanting around.

Jiang Cai’Er now naturally knew that Luo Feifei was an Extraordinary Being, and a powerful one at that. She could be considered her greatest threat.

Jiang Cai’Er thought to herself, ’You have 20% of the shares, but I have 80%! What’s Brother Xiang’s is mine. Even if marital assets are split fifty-fifty, that’s still 40% of the shares—still more than you have, Xiaoluo Feifei.’

A cool night breeze blew. The number of people who had come to join the fun was estimated to be over ten thousand.

Not only was the plaza packed, but the distant hillsides, rooftops, and even the trees were full of people.
