Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

"Alright! Now, use this privilege immediately to exchange my points with Chi Ying's!"

"What? Chi Ying? But Chi Ying's points..."

He instinctively retorted.

Wang Ling interrupted directly: "No time for nonsense, just do what I say!"

Fortunately, although Yan Hui has an annoying personality, he is not ambiguous when it comes to important matters.

Soon, all the contestants heard the prompt in their minds:

【Ding! 】

[Red Faction Uses Privilege: Points Exchange]

Two players' scores have been swapped!

This operation corresponds to—

The points of Wang Ling and Chi Ying were swapped.

According to Jiang Yi's prediction, what he actually gained was Ji Chen's points.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yi used his [identity swap] privilege.

A new announcement then rang out:

【Ding! 】

[The Red Faction uses a special privilege: role swapping!]

[Among the seven factions, players A and B have had their scores swapped!]

This step involves exchanging the identities of Wang Ling and Jian Lou.

And almost while the announcement was still in progress.

Wang Ling shouted directly towards the outside of the private room:

"Thank you to all my teammates for believing in me."

"But time is of the essence now, and I have no time to explain any further!"

"I hope everyone will have no doubts and simply choose to continue to trust me—"

"Use all your [Double Points] privileges on the shoulder tower!"

In this way, the [Double Points] effect applied to the shoulder tower will actually be applied to Wang Ling through the [Identity Swap] effect!

By this time, there were only 7 seconds left!

It was truly a race against time!

Fortunately, those who were able to participate in this event were basically top-tier geniuses.

Even if one has a hundred questions and doubts in their heart.

But they have a strong ability to execute!

Soon after, notifications of various "double points" privileges being used began to ring out in a cacophony of voices!

At the same time, Wang Ling used up all two of his privileges except for the "once and for all" privilege.

Therefore, all that remained for her was the privilege of "once and for all".

She gave Jiang Yi a look.

So Jiang Yi quickly used his "sneaky thievery" privilege on her.

Thus, the privilege of "once and for all" fell to Jiang Yi.

And the time allotted for using the privileges has finally come to an end!

In the last second.

Every contestant's heart was practically pounding in their throat!

They were so worried!

It's the last second!

Why hasn't Wang Ling used the "once and for all" solution yet?

Moreover, she had previously stated that Ji Chen used the [Identity Swap] to switch Jian Lou's identity with an X.

But why did she still allow them to use the "Double Points" effect on the shoulder tower?

At this moment, all the contestants and all the spectators were both confused and extremely nervous.

They had no idea what was going on behind the scenes.

I wonder if she will ultimately succeed!

But until the very last moment, it still looked like a failure!

Because, in vain, he didn't use the "once and for all" method at all!

Yes!

Until all players heard the notification that their privilege usage time had ended.

They also didn't hear anyone using the "once and for all" announcement!

At this point, all the contestants who had chosen to unconditionally believe in Wang Ling were filled with complaints:

"What happened, Wang Ling?! Didn't you have the privilege of 'once and for all'? Why didn't you use it in the end?!"

"Was it because there wasn't enough time? No way! We worked so hard all day, and you messed up at the most crucial step?!"

"What the hell?! That's such a waste!"

Let's not even talk about the other players.

Even Wang Ling herself couldn't believe it and suddenly looked at Jiang Yi.

She also had her suspicions...

Could it be that Jiang Yi missed the opportunity to use the "once and for all" method because he was pursuing the "last moment"?

What...what?!

After analyzing for so long, something went wrong at the last minute??

That would be hilarious!

Jiang Yi's expression was actually quite subtle.

Because he was certain that he had indeed successfully used the "once and for all" method.

And the team rankings were completed.

But almost the instant he finished.

The announcement declared the end of the privilege period...

He himself was unsure whether his final "once and for all" solution had actually worked.

It should... have succeeded, right?

However, the privilege period ended immediately after use, so there wasn't time to generate an announcement according to the effect of "openness and transparency"?

That's the only way Jiang Yi could understand it.

In fact, they didn't have any doubts for long.

Because after the [privilege usage period ends], the latest rankings will be announced immediately!

The embedded screens in their respective boxes automatically updated with new faction rankings and team rankings.

The faction rankings are visible to everyone.

The team rankings are only visible to members within the same faction.

And as the rankings are updated...

All players saw that the faction rankings displayed were as follows:

[1st Place: Red Team!]

[2nd Place: Gold Team!]

At that moment, all the contestants were stunned!

"Holy crap?! What's going on?!"

"Aren't we manipulating the points for the shoulder tower? Even if we manage to turn the tide, shouldn't the white faction be ranked first?!"

"How did the Red faction suddenly become number one?! How... how did they do that?!"

"Holy crap! I know! It must be that woman Wang Ling who used some tricks to transfer the points from the shoulder tower to her!"

"Have you forgotten that before Wang Ling made us double our points against Jianlou, the Red faction used a point swap once!"

"Good heavens! I knew it, this woman definitely had ulterior motives!"

"So her series of actions, which were as fierce as a tiger, actually made her the winner!"

"But to be fair, Wang Ling is truly amazing! She actually turned the impossible into the possible, completing a beautiful comeback!"

"I can only say that he truly deserves to be called an expert in information networks. In the end, this event really was a battle of wits!"

"Hmph! Some people mocked Wang Ling for failing to defend her title, saying that all schemes and tricks are meaningless in the face of absolute strength. But Wang Ling, precisely because of her cunning and scheming, won the grand prize!"

"Damn! Sister Ling is awesome!"

Everyone was stunned and praised Wang Ling!

Yan Hui, who had previously mocked Wang Ling for failing to defend her title, was now deeply shocked!

Unexpectedly, she actually did it!

However, Yan Hui quickly realized something was wrong!

Because he can see the team rankings!

But in the team rankings he saw...

It's clear that Jiang Yi is ranked third!

That is to say...

Jiang Yi won the grand prize!

Why? !

Why did Wang Ling have to let Jiang Yi win the top prize?

I was puzzled.

The event announcement sounded again:

[Congratulations to the Red Faction for ranking first in total points, standing out from the seven factions!]

The top two teams in the red faction (Yanhui) and fifth (Dingchan) have been eliminated!

[Based on the remaining final rankings]

[Jiang Yi from the red faction wins the grand prize!]

[The red team has failed miserably and won second prize!]

[Saki Sekiguchi from the red team won third prize!]

As soon as this news came out.

All the contestants and spectators were once again filled with astonishment and shock!

"Wait a minute?? Why isn't the jackpot Ling Jie's but Jiang Yi's??"

"What happened? Wang Ling voluntarily gave up the jackpot and let Jiang Yi have it??"

"How is this possible? There must be something fishy going on between these two."

As they were discussing this, all the contestants shifted their gazes.

They moved from their respective boxes to a space resembling an audience area.

Jiang Yi, Wang Ling, and Guan Kou Saki, who won the three major awards, appeared in a space that resembled an awards podium.

The audience and athletes alike stared at the three on the podium, still puzzled.

Just then, a plume of black smoke suddenly appeared in the audience area, heading towards the podium and asking:

"You're the one who used [Once and For All] at the last minute, right?"

"—Jiang Yi."
