Chapter 554 - 544: The Battle of Looks
All around, silence...
The moment Ji You reached out and grabbed a slip of paper, she even felt her heart flutter slightly...
Who?
Who?
Who?
Who is the unlucky one going to be her opponent? Ji You kept a stern face, muttering under her breath: "It must not be Little Shengsheng! It just must not be!"
At this stage, Ji You felt it was best not to face Little Shengsheng for the time being.
And definitely not Chu Jiaojiao!
The first place from South District and West District, also best not to face them yet!
"Please, dear heaven, grant me an opponent that’s soft, cute, and easy to bully..." Speaking of which, Ji You cautiously lifted a sliver of her eyelid and carefully peered at the name on the slip of paper...
Heh—
It’s—
It’s actually Hero King!
This is a defeated foe, ahhhh!
In an instant, Ji You’s entire face blossomed into joy!
What is a defeated foe? It means if I can beat you once, I can beat you a second and a third time! It’s not that Ji You is arrogant, she has the confidence.
Ji You grinned, giggling stupidly:
Indeed—rubbing this paper really works!
On the other side, as soon as the drawing was finished, the system quickly set up the match order. Ji You and Hero King are paired for the third match, so there’s no rush.
Ji You logged off from Star Network, planning to watch the first two bouts with her peers in the training room.
The moment she opened her eyes, she found Liu Fufeng beside her, the corner of his mouth twitching as his hands ceaselessly folded the piece of paper he held...
Ji You: "Student Fufeng, what are you folding now?"
Liu Fufeng put away his smile, and while facing Ji You’s curiosity, he nonchalantly lifted his arm to block her view and said with pursed lips, "Nothing much."
Ji You: "Stop kidding! I clearly saw you messing with your little paper man again, you’ve already made half of a head."
Liu Fufeng: "..."
Are her eyes that sharp? Liu Fufeng spoke with a forced calm: "It’s just a little hobby of mine, that... Ji You, the school doesn’t forbid it, does it?"
"That’s not the case," Ji You waved her hand and continued, "It’s just that, while everyone else folds flowers or animals, you fold little people, which looks a bit strange."
Liu Fufeng remained silent, just looking at Ji You, a clean, refreshing smile emerging at the corner of his lips.
Seeing that Liu Fufeng had no intention of explaining, Ji You turned her head to Chu Jiaojiao and asked with a stern face: "Jiaojiao... do I look pretty?"
Chu Jiaojiao: "Of course you look pretty! Ji You, you’re the most beautiful in the universe."
"Cough..." Ji You coughed dryly and said, "Keep it down! Even though it’s a fact that I’m pretty, it’s not suitable to broadcast it widely, you got that?"
"Ah?" Chu Jiaojiao scratched her head, smiling sheepishly and said: "I got it."
That’s more like it...
Ji You was quite satisfied: "You must be low-key, low-key, and even more low-key!"
This simpleton better not mess up and attract some weird opponent for herself again, especially since the North District’s second place, Liu Wan, who was defeated by Chu Jiaojiao, had threatened to take her down with one shot.
Hearing this, Chu Jiaojiao nodded vigorously: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Ji You immediately felt relieved.
The reason she made such a fuss was that the first match was Chu Jiaojiao’s, and this time, her opponent was the Handsome Young Master, the first place from South District.
That name...
Leaves one at a loss for words.
However, despite the Handsome Young Master’s vain name, his strength is beyond doubt. If Chu Jiaojiao were to say something like: "You’re not as good-looking as my classmate," and managed to draw unnecessary hatred, Ji You would simply have nowhere to cry...
First match: Chu Jiaojiao vs. Handsome Young Master.
Second match: Fufeng vs. Ma Dashuai.
Here, we need to mention this Ma Dashuai, Grand General, Grand General... the mere mention of his name drips with majesty, because he is the first place from West District!
Hehe...
Ji You couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle quietly: Chu Jiaojiao and Fufeng, these two unlucky ones, really are unfortunate. Apart from Little Shengsheng, they’ve picked two of the strongest opponents in no time.
Especially unlucky Fufeng, facing the first from North District, Bai Jiu in the first round.
And now facing the first from West District in the second.
At this rate, if he can advance to the third round, with his unlucky halo, wouldn’t he end up facing Little Shengsheng?
Pfft...
The more Ji You thought about it, the more she couldn’t help but laugh inappropriately.
Cough...
Ji You straightened her face again and focused on the holographic screen because the first match had begun.
Chu Jiaojiao and the Handsome Young Master from the South District soon appeared in the center of the arena. After exchanging glances, when they were supposed to show off their mechas—
Suddenly, the anciently-dressed Handsome Young Master flicked the hair on his forehead and said, "I heard your classmate is quite good-looking?"
Audience: "..."
The Handsome Young Master, pleased with his remark that shocked everyone, was quite satisfied. He was naturally vain and narcissistic, priding himself as the most handsome man in the Universe, and he couldn’t allow anyone to surpass him in beauty...
Just as the Handsome Young Master was about to ask if her classmate was more good-looking than him—
Chu Jiaojiao suddenly raised her hand to interrupt him, saying, "Don’t say another word! You’re a hundred, a thousand, a million times uglier than my classmate!"
Handsome Young Master: "..."
Surrounding audience: "..."
Ji You instantly darkened her face: What happened to keeping a low profile?
What’s worse, Chu Jiaojiao followed up with a cutting remark, "With a face like that, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!"
"Damn it!" The Handsome Young Master fumed, grinding his teeth, "Prepare to die!"
Chu Jiaojiao retorted, "You want to compete with my classmate for good looks? You’ll have to get my approval first!"
Boom—
In the blink of an eye, the Handsome Young Master fired a High Energy Particle Cannon!
Chu Jiaojiao also stepped into her mecha at that moment, counter-firing with a Particle Cannon.
Boom—
The two Particle Cannons collided, sparking dazzling fireworks, and the smoke-filled sky marked the beginning of an intense duel.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The two exchanged fire, unleashing countless volleys of artillery, both very strong, neither able to gain the upper hand for a while.
Ji You was stunned by the spectacle!
So strong!
Incredibly strong!
And their financial strength, too!
How many points had they spent in just this short time?
One High Energy Particle Cannon costs 5 points, 10 cannons—that’s 50 points, aaaaah...
How many ribs dinners was that?
Ji You didn’t dare to think about it...
At this moment, Chu Jiaojiao seemed to be hit by accident and quickly retreated. When the Handsome Young Master saw his chance for pursuit and was about to take advantage of the victory, he suddenly shouted, "I, the Handsome Young Master, am the most handsome person in the Universe!"
Chu Jiaojiao’s mecha suddenly paused, and without another word, it fiercely retreated. The audience saw Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, which had just shown signs of defeat, suddenly chase after the Handsome Young Master like it was injected with steroids and brutally beat him!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
...
The Handsome Young Master’s mecha legs, broken.
The Handsome Young Master’s mechanical arms, torn off.
The Handsome Young Master’s cockpit, shattered.
...
Just watching, Ji You felt the pain...
System:[The match is over, Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee wins!]
Silence all around.
Chu Jiaojiao lifted her chin, looking down at the Handsome Young Master who lay on the ground, and said, "Here’s something for you: ugly people love to stir up trouble! And one more thing—"
"My classmate is the most handsome person in the Universe!"
Ji You: "..."
The north wind blows~
