Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

I thought I could just start right away, but then a host suddenly appeared on the way. Do animals need this kind of thing too? I was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the host.

I'm still finding it a little hard to get used to it right now.

"Hmm..." I really don't know what to say for a moment. Should I just say thank you to my parents, thank you to so-and-so? Thank you for everyone's support?

Before I could even think of what to say, the guy continued, "Okay, thank you. Thank you for the interview. Now let's see how you get that little red flower."

After saying that, it flew away into the distance and disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye. What the hell? Is this a trap? What does this mean?

I'm completely baffled. What kind of hosting style is this? Dude, are you a variety show host?

Did I wander into the wrong movie set?

I'm speechless and genuinely frustrated. What is all this nonsense?

"Twenty-two cents!" Dafu called out anxiously beside me.

"What's wrong now?" I asked, feeling quite annoyed.

"The sun is about to set," Dafu called out anxiously.

I looked up at the sun, and lo and behold, it really was about to set! And I had just been chatting with that idiot host.

Holy crap, is this host doing this on purpose? Is this some kind of rigged scandal? Holy crap, even the animal kingdom, which I've always considered innocent, is starting to have shady dealings?

Facing the slowly setting sun, I've been pushed to the brink. I'll give it a try no matter what.

"Dafu, let's begin. Follow what I taught you before." I quickly started tying my hair around my body.

"Is it ready?" I asked Dafu beside me.

“Ready,” Daifuku said.

“Okay, let’s begin then. Consider it a farewell show before we leave here,” I said to Dafu.

"Okay, keep it up, you're the best, 12 cents!" Dafu said proudly.

I glanced at Dafu, smiled, and then plunged into the wrecked boat on the water like I was bungee jumping.

I could only feel the air resistance stinging my face, and the descent was incredibly fast. Even without the fish attacking me, I felt like I was losing control of my body.

As I plummeted downwards and entered the fish's range, a deluge of water droplets immediately sprayed towards me.

What does it mean to be caught in a hail of bullets? Right now, I've basically given up trying to dodge, because all the fish in the water are spitting water at me.

I have no way to avoid it anymore; there's basically no way I can escape it.

But as all those water droplets rushed towards me, I could only fall rapidly downwards in the water.

I splashed the water droplets, making them stagger and fall, but I still tried to keep them within the controllable range of a hair's breadth as they fell downwards.

The air above was like a water barrier, making it feel like I was swimming in the air as I struggled to descend.

With that little wrecked boat right in front of me, victory was within reach. All I had to do was try a little harder and I could make it down.

Just then, Dafu on top suddenly shouted loudly, "One mao er, it's coming!"

As Da Fu's voice reached my ears, I saw another giant fish leap into the air and charge straight at the hair of our heads.

It leaves a perfect arc in the air and is about to bite into a strand of our hair.

Without saying a word, I untied my hair and it fell down quickly.

"Go for it, 12 cents, good luck." Just as I was untying my hair, I heard Dafu's voice from above.

Why does it give me a sense of déjà vu, like "Go, Pikachu"?

The giant fish bit the strand of hair and fell into the water. Because I was no longer on the boat, I quickly fell down. Just then, a water droplet hit me and instantly knocked me to the side of the water.

Just as I was about to fall to the surface of the water, I immediately tore off a thin membrane from my body, spread my wings, and flew towards the wrecked boat.

None of the animals expected that I could still fly under such circumstances. How could I fly when my wings touched water?

This doesn't make sense! What's going on? All the animals were astonished.

Including those fish...

I managed to rush onto the deck in that brief moment, but I was still hit by a fish that reacted quickly and rolled onto the deck.

The impact was so intense, it was unbearable. How could it hurt so much? I was in so much pain that I couldn't even stand up.

"Stand up, 12 cents, the sun is about to set." Just as I was thinking of lying here and taking a nap, I heard Dafu's voice from above.

That unique voice of Lin Chi-ling suddenly reminded me of a scene from the Three Kingdoms movie starring Lin Chi-ling and Tony Leung.

It's about the birth of the horse, and Lin Chi-ling, standing to the side, cutely exclaimed, "Mengmeng, stand up!"

Damn, I'm just like a horse that's been encouraged by others. Just when I was feeling really down, I suddenly heard some sounds around me.

"stand up."

"Twelve cents"

"Start at 12 cents."

"Stand up, 12 cents!" At first, there were only a few scattered voices, but in the end, I felt like almost all the animals were telling me to stand up.

I suddenly felt that if I didn't stand up, I would be letting down the entire animal kingdom, so I tried desperately to stand up, but my body was in so much pain.

The pain was so intense that I felt like my body wasn't even my own anymore.

"One cent and two cents, stand up." The voices around me kept ringing out. At this moment, no one can help me. The only one who can save me is myself.

I must stand up. I cannot fall here. I have a great dream: I want to become a human again.

Although many people say that being a person is tiring, difficult, and painful, and they don't want to live anymore.

but……

But I still want to be a human being, because...

Because as long as I'm alive, anything is possible, and there's always hope. And hope is my only motivation to keep living.

If we don't give up hope, what can't we do?

I cannot fall here; I must stand up. I must stand up.

what……

I roared. All I could do now was still have the voice to roar. With my determination and roar, my body slowly regained some strength.

I finally regained consciousness and slowly got up, crawling towards the little red flower in the center of the boat.

As I crawled toward the little red flower, the sun's shadow slowly buried me in darkness. I knew that if I slowed down even a step, all my efforts would be in vain.

And this competition has lost its meaning of first place; I'm no longer competing with other animals.
