Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

I could tell from watching that this was pretty much it; the only remaining question was who would be able to grab the little red flower on the boat.

But at that moment, a fish suddenly leaped out of the water. It leaped into the air with a perfect posture and then bit at the hair among the group of insects.

As mentioned before, their hair strands were completely tangled together. All the insects were like grasshoppers on the same rope, sharing the same fate. If anything happened, the consequences would be predictable.

After biting the hair in the middle, the fish fell towards the surface of the water, leaving behind a rainbow-like mist as proof that the fish had just appeared.

I was dumbfounded. How could this be? This is ridiculous! This is going to ruin me!

Is my method going to work? Will it just eat me whole in one bite?

It turns out my method wasn't as good as I thought.

After the insects were brought into the water, the fish swam towards the shore with them, and soon a large number of insects came to help scoop them up.

At this point, the sun was about to set, and I was the only one left who hadn't been eliminated.

I swallowed hard. What am I supposed to do? This is a complete dead end! I'm almost in tears. Is this some kind of deliberate sabotage?

"It's 12 cents, it's our turn!" Dafu next to me shouted excitedly.

They acted as if they were participating in a very honorable event, completely unaware of how dangerous it was.

"They've all been eliminated now, so aren't we still the champions?" I really don't want to go. What if the fish gets choked in the water when it bites me and swallows me whole?

I can't die! This is just a competition, and at this point I've basically won, right? Should we continue?

"No, if we don't go, then there won't be a champion this time. Let's go," Dafu said happily.

"Dafu, can I ask you something?" I asked, feeling quite annoyed.

"Ask me whatever it is," Dafu said casually.

"Where do you get such confidence? Aren't you afraid?" I asked from the side.

"Yes, I am scared, but I'm not scared when you're by my side," Dafu said very seriously.

If a girl had said this to me in the past, I think I would have been moved and fallen in love with her, but now I just feel deeply tired.

So, Dafu has taken a liking to me, huh? I'll change, okay? I'm just an ordinary fly, timid, only good at hiding and running away.

Are flies these days so picky about their food that they don't like responsible flies? Do they just prefer the young, handsome guys here?

What can I do now? What else can I do? I can only bite the bullet and get this done as soon as possible. Another day has been wasted.

So we slowly flew into the air, just as I was about to say something to Dafu.

Suddenly, an unusually loud voice rang out in the air: "My God, look! The biggest dark horse of this competition, the one that's almost as dark as his uncle's family, has finally appeared! Now let's wait and see what this biggest dark horse does!"

With that shout, the audience, who had been preparing to go home, began to focus their attention back on the event.

And those fish that had already begun to slowly swim away swam back, watching me expectantly.

Damn it, I just wanted to kill that damn host. Would it kill him to say a few less words? Can't we even have a proper competition? I was planning to rush down when they were off guard, but now, it's all over.

"Look everyone, those determined eyes, those wild gazes, that awe-inspiring, fly-like momentum—it's completely blown away! I never expected, I never imagined, that the biggest dark horse this time would be a fly we've never paid attention to before, and a couple at that!" the host said passionately.

Holy crap, what kind of host was that? Where did you see the determination in my eyes? I really wanted to kill you! And where did you see that we were a couple? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. Your hosting was absolutely terrible. I strongly suggest you change the host.

"Twenty-two cents," Dafu next to me called out.

"Hmm? I looked toward the big fortune."

"Do you think we will win?" Dafu asked shyly, glancing at me as if embarrassed, and quickly looking around.

Holy crap, did Dafu actually hear the word "couple"? Holy crap, that damn host is going to get me killed.

This is ridiculous! This is trying to kill me! This must be intentional.

"I don't know." I was so annoyed that I just wanted to kill that damn host, so I said casually.

“But I feel you will definitely win,” Na Dafu said in a very low voice. Suddenly, I noticed that Na Dafu looked a bit like Zou Tian.

Holy crap, no way? This Dafu is really in love with me? Holy crap, is it really that simple? What's going on here?

"Now, right now, the biggest dark horse is about to make its final push. So what exciting things will happen next? Are you all looking forward to it?" the host shouted passionately.

"Looking forward to it." Suddenly, a large number of insects appeared around the pond.

Holy crap, do animals have ratings or something like that? And why is this host so excited?

Before I could react, an exceptionally handsome dragonfly suddenly appeared beside me. Yes, handsome. I actually felt that a dragonfly was handsome, but my first impression of that dragonfly was just that it was handsome, and I didn't really feel anything else.

"Alright, now I've arrived at the last dark horse of the day. So, I'm about to interview our biggest dark horse about his feelings right now," the dragonfly shouted with great authority.

Oh dear, insects are so backward; they don't have microphones. What if they lose their voices?

"First of all, we would like to thank Yufengtang for exclusively sponsoring the flight competition. Tired and thirsty? Yufengtang refreshes you. Thank you for the special sponsorship of 'May You Have Abundance Every Year' and 'Grasshopper Life'. Where to go online? Look for Spider Web. Spider Web is the special sponsor." The host started with a whole bunch of advertisements. Seriously, are advertisements everywhere now?

"First, let me ask this dark horse a few questions," the dragonfly said to the surrounding insects.

"What are your thoughts on this prosperous era? Who do you want to thank the most right now? What do you want to say right now? Is there anything you've always wanted to say to someone but haven't been able to?" After the dragonfly finished speaking, it handed me something that looked like a matchstick.
