The next episode or two will be really fun surprise, lol. I guess everyone would expect 80/100 stars is a win. In every other novel it would probably be...

Let me guess...they are going to say he cheated? I have seen that trope a few times in other cultivation stories too.

There will be one or two mentions about that, but they will be shot down instantly without any impact. I'll give you a clue... He is a greedy scumbag whose phone is so expensive (and gets more and more expensive with time) that is more like a curse than benefit and you should remember how whole time he planned to collect as many stars as he could. Also, he won't win officially, but everyone will know he is a winner

is there a manhua ? or do you know your sources from the novel?

Novel, but don't look for translated one... there isn't one yet
