"Would you look at that! You actually spat out the pearls!" Alex exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she longingly admired the two pearls. Unfortunately, it was that bastard's turn. "Here," she said, shoving the pearls into Rey's hands. "It's your turn."
"Sweet!" Rey grinned wickedly as he accepted them.
"Are you guys here?" Mei Mei approached with a smile. "Look, sis—we found so many pearls! We're definitely going to win this event. Where are you stashing all your pearls?"
Alex gave a bitter smile. "No, you should use them."
"Huh?"
"Everyone here is an awakener. Although our ranks might differ, the key to winning is to use these pearls to make a breakthrough and become Transcendent. There's no point in hoarding them. Even if we end up only one point ahead of the other team, that's enough to secure victory. So don't hold back—consume everything."
Both Mei Mei and Shen Yue nodded seriously as they listened to Alex's explanation.
