Chapter 569: Absurd
Ji You rubbed her hands together, muttering: "The first rub, bad luck."
"The second rub, moldy luck."
"The third rub, declining luck."
...
Shen Changqing: "..."
Sometimes, regarding our classmate Ji You, it’s really complicated inside: living for 18 years, she’s always been challenging and refreshing her shallow knowledge and experience from the previous 18 years.
Don’t want to admit that she’s outstanding.
Because—
She’s really too unconventional.
Shen Changqing furrowed his brows tightly, unwilling to believe such an absurd conjecture.
Then—
Mu Jianling suddenly said: "Time’s up, quiet!"
Suddenly—
The entire training room went quiet as a chicken.
The holographic screen displayed the names of the top 10 qualifiers: Little Shengsheng, Little Cutie, Rag Queen, Mo Liang, Mu Sheng Tea...
In the middle of the 10 people, 10 slips of paper were quietly floating, each bearing the name of an opponent.
Still, it was a simple and brutal luck draw, whoever you pull, you fight against.
Losers, directly eliminated.
The 5 who advance will then compete for the top 3 places.
So—
If you have good luck, avoiding the strongest few, you might actually make it into the top 5.
System: [10, 9, 8, 7... start drawing!]
As soon as the beep ended, all 10 people reached out their hands, grabbing towards the 10 slips of paper—
Shush~
Shush~
Shush~
In the blink of an eye, the slips were gone.
Here, Ji You’s heart thumped wildly!
Who?
Who?
Who?
Please don’t be Chu Jiaojiao!
Please don’t be Little Shengsheng!
Please don’t be...
Then, Ji You sneaked a peek into her palm.
At a glance, Ji You’s brow suddenly furrowed!
Audience: "Rag Queen is frowning! Who did she draw?"
Everyone was eagerly anticipating—
To see the name written on the unfolded slip: [Little Cutie]
Oh no—
These two seem to be evenly matched!
...
After drawing Sheng Qingyan, Ji You was somewhat surprised, but— the battlefield is a battlefield, camaraderie and such have to step aside, so she had to defeat Sheng Qingyan.
After all—
He doesn’t seem too concerned about the competition results.
Ji You glanced at Sheng Qingyan next to her, lying on the table, without a care.
Subsequently.
The opponents for the other people also were revealed.
First pair: Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee vs Mo Liang
Second pair: Little Shengsheng vs General Chang Sheng
Third pair: Rag Queen vs Little Cutie
Fourth pair: Fu Feng vs Mu Sheng Tea
Fifth pair: Aries vs Yingyingying
The audience, especially people from North District, were instantly in uproar:
"Damn! Is the universe conspiring against our great North District?"
"Mo Liang, what kind of luck is that? Did you jinx it before the draw?"
"That luck stinks, he must have secretly done something!"
"He has athlete’s foot, doesn’t he know it in his heart?"
"Yeah! Why did he jinx it aah..."
"You got this"
"Promise us, if you win this time, you absolutely can’t do that again, okay?"
"Cough... Aren’t you all too pessimistic? Mo Liang is also our North District’s third, and that Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee, isn’t he also third? How could he not beat him?"
"I don’t care! She jinxed it, it’s her fault!"
...
Regardless of whether it was in the audience or on the forums, seeing the people from the North District, even before the match had started, had already shifted the conversation to an exasperating level...
East, West, South - people from all three districts gasped in unison, wide-eyed!
Right under this atmosphere, the first match finally kicked off.
The screen switched—
Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee and Mo Liang, both players, were teleported into the arena.
Chu Jiaojiao looked at Mo Liang across from her, blinked her eyes, and suddenly said: "Before we fight, Mo Liang, can I ask you a question first?"
Mo Liang’s brows twitched, and she sternly said: "I haven’t been picking my feet!"
Chu Jiaojiao: "..."
Audience: "..."
Cough cough cough...
Instantly, whether in the forums or among the audience, a burst of laughter ensued:
Audience A: "Look at those jokers from the North District, see what they’ve driven people to."
Audience B: "Poor kid! Ignore the jokers from your district!"
Audience C: "The North District is just farting around! You’re just unlucky because you’ve been stunk up by their farts!"
Audience D: "Exactly! It’s the North District’s stench!"
Listening to the laughter around her, Mo Liang’s face reddened slightly.
Truth be told, she was a girl with a very steady character, and she felt quite uncomfortable with the current situation.
Then—
Chu Jiaojiao, stunned for a moment, suddenly burst into laughter and said: "You’re really cute, I didn’t want to ask if you’ve been picking your feet."
Mo Liang: "..."
Embarrassing!
After steadying her mind, Mo Liang straightened her face and asked, "What did you want to ask?"
Chu Jiaojiao grinned and said, "I wanted to ask if you’re good-looking in real life."
Mo Liang: "..."
Mo Liang’s mouth twitched: "What does that have to do with our competition?"
Chu Jiaojiao naturally said: "Of course, it matters! If you are good-looking, I will go easy on you later."
Mo Liang: "..."
Mo Liang took a deep breath: "Stop talking nonsense! Let’s start fighting!"
"Don’t rush～" Chu Jiaojiao chuckled and said, "I’m honestly telling you, good-looking people do get preferential treatment from me."
Mo Liang: "..."
Mo Liang, without hesitation, sent a complaint request to the system.
second.
System: [Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee has harassed the opponent once, yellow card warning! If repeated, participation will be disqualified.]
Chu Jiaojiao: "..."
Audience: "..."
Watching this, Ji You couldn’t help but facepalm:
So improper!
Really improper!
This contestant is probably the first in the competition to be given a yellow card for harassment.
Embarrassing...
Really embarrassing...
The audience burst into laughter, and Mo Liang felt her face burning...
But as the person involved, Chu Jiaojiao didn’t show a shred of shame. She laughed heartily, eyes gleaming as she gazed at her opponent Mo Liang and said, "You’ve got character, I like that!"
Mo Liang: "..."
Surroundings: "..."
North District audience: "Mo Liang! File another complaint! Get her off stage!"
"Quick!"
"Quick quick!"
...
Mo Liang, with veins throbbing on her forehead, really couldn’t understand how she just came to play a match and ended up in this situation?
If she really complained and got Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee disqualified, wouldn’t people from other districts say that her victory was undeserved?
Pure-hearted as Mo Liang was, she really couldn’t bring herself to do it, and then, the countdown finally ended.
The match officially began!
Mo Liang took out her Mecha, entered the cockpit, connected the Spiritual Connector, and prepared herself.
However, as she looked up, she found her opponent hadn’t boarded her Mecha!
Mo Liang: "???"
Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee: "Seeing you’re handsome, I’ve decided to let you make three moves first!"
Mo Liang: "..."
Mo Liang’s eyes darkened, she snorted coldly: "Allowing me three moves unarmed, are you insulting my strength?"
...
Ji You continued to facepalm:
It’s over!
Chu Jiaojiao was being improper again.
