There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#139 - Chapter 139 Volibear

"Why didn't you tell me you were going to sing beforehand?"

Having eaten and drunk our fill, the two of us sat on the chairs in the cafeteria.

Hearing Tan Zuoyin's question, Qi Jing replied:

"I only thought of it after seeing that tenor singing. How about it, romantic, right?"

"It's alright, just a tiny bit more and you could have moved me to tears."

Tan Zuoyin stretched out her right hand and made a 'C' shape with her index finger and thumb in front of Qi Jing.

"Ah? So it was that far off? I thought it was just a little bit."

Qi Jing pretended to be regretful.

"Then, if I sing in the next competition, can I move you to tears?"

Tan Zuoyin pinched her two fingers closer together, but still left a slight gap.

"Still a little short."

"Then, what if I sing to you again during my championship speech?"

"Then it'll only be a sliver away."

"Pinduoduo, huh? I'll give you Pinduoduo."

Qi Jing started to tickle Tan Zuoyin's sensitive spots.

"Ah, hahahahaha, I don't dare anymore, I was wrong, I'll cry right now, look at the tears in my eyes, as big as beans."

"How can tears from laughter be the same as tears from being moved? The taste isn't even the same."

"What, are you the Foolish Strategist of Bitter Gourd King? You can even taste the flavor of tears."

"Bitter Gourd King has already become Little Sweetie, and the Foolish Strategist isn't foolish at all, I'm Smart Gourd."

"Alright, alright, Smart Gourd, let's see who your next opponent is."

"Yeah, let's see which unlucky little guy ran into me."

Qi Jing took out his phone; his battle information had already been updated.

His next opponent was a Gundam player named Gao Qi.

Watching the videos, you could see that her fighting style was to use heavy artillery and a large broadsword to crush her opponents while piloting a large machine.

It's just that you couldn't tell whether her ability was to summon robots or control them.

But the comments below said that her ability was called 'King of Robots,' which allowed her to control any robot she touched.

She was also a personal disciple of a big shot in School B, and this mecha was a gift from her teacher.

Could it be that her teacher's ability was also to control robots?

This was the third personal disciple Qi Jing knew of; the previous two were 'Great Healer' Fa Xinyu and 'Great Poet \u0026 Wine Master' Zhu Qing'an.

These nicknames were all given to them by Qi Jing in his mind to better identify them.

For someone with a slight case of face blindness, giving them a nickname with distinctive features was a good way to remember them.

For example, Xia Tao, the 'Freeloader Socially Anxious' girl from Tan Zuoyin's dorm, Qi Jing hadn't seen her a few times, but he still managed to remember her based on her nickname.

There were also 'Passionate Ice' Han Yinuo, 'Super Fierce Godslayer' Yin Ci, 'Bag Elder' Bu Pinglu, 'Dragon Taming Expert' Yi Zhongqiu, and so on.

Without these nicknames, Qi Jing really wouldn't be able to match their faces with their names.

"Since her robot is powered by her ability, then Little Pi won't be able to destroy its electrical system."

Tan Zuoyin looked at Little Pi, who was sleeping, and brainstormed ideas for its next battle.

"We can only use a sword to chop up her mecha, tear it apart by force, seems like a lot of trouble."

Qi Jing tapped her head with his finger:

"Silly, robots are made of iron, so they must be conductive. Little Pi can just shock her."

Tan Zuoyin widened her eyes, then nudged Qi Jing:

"Oh dear, I forgot that iron can conduct electricity. It's all your fault, you've tickled me silly."

"I think you can be even sillier."

"Let go, it's all your fault, my cheeks hurt from laughing."

"I'll give you a Dryad Leaf, heal it and then I'll tickle you again."

Qi Jing activated the Dryad Leaf and placed it on Tan Zuoyin's head, letting it heal her cheeks.

"Is that how you're supposed to use a Dryad Leaf?"

Qi Jing lay on Tan Zuoyin's lap and said:

"How about we go watch the competition together this afternoon?"

"Didn't I fail to buy a ticket? Where would I sit?"

"It's okay, our contestant area isn't full, the team leader said we can sit anywhere, it's not a problem to fit you in."

"Alright."

In the afternoon, Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin arrived at the arena just in time for Xiong Er's match.

"He's a classmate from our school, named Xiong Er. Not only does he look simple, but he's also honest."

Qi Jing pointed at the big white bear on the stage and introduced him to Tan Zuoyin:

"His ability is called 'Volibear,' he can transform into a white bear that can control lightning. He's strong, has high defense, and is good at both close and long-range combat."

Just as Qi Jing finished saying this, Xiong Er happened to slap his opponent to the ground, ending the match.

"Does student Xiong Er have anything he wants to perform or say?" The host's voice arrived as expected.

"I can't perform, thank you everyone."

After saying that, Xiong Er walked off the stage.

"Congratulations, congratulations, you fought well."

Qi Jing greeted Xiong Er as he walked over.

Xiong Er said, "Well, my opponent happened to be countered by me. Winning this time was just good luck, I'm not sure about the next match."

Qi Jing encouraged him, "I believe in you, you'll definitely win."

Xiong Er nodded, his eyes very firm:

"Yes, I will definitely go all out."

Afterwards, Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin watched the first round of the competition while chatting and laughing.

"It's your turn next, have you decided what song to sing?" Tan Zuoyin asked Qi Jing.

Qi Jing nodded: "I've decided, but shouldn't you worry about my safety?"

"You must come back alive."

Tan Zuoyin struck a farewell pose from a play, looking very reluctant, reaching out her right hand as if wanting to grab something, with tears in her eyes and a trembling voice.

Then she instantly returned to her original self:

"Doesn't it look like setting a flag? As long as you say that, you definitely won't come back."

(Note: Setting a flag - setting a goal, but it usually won't be achieved, at best you'll be slapped in the face, at worst you'll be closed down, it can also be called a jinx)

"It does, it looks too much like it."

Qi Jing felt that she could totally act in a TV series.

...

"It's my turn after he finishes singing."

This time, the person singing during the competition interval was a bald teacher, probably a computer science teacher.

Qi Jing took out Kirby, who was watching Sokoban strategy guides in the dimension, and handed it to Tan Zuoyin.

"Let it see my and Little Pi's heroic figures, don't just play games all day long."

"Kirby? (Huh?)"

"Pi! (Watch my match!)"

"Kirby~ (Better to play games.)"

"Pika Pi, Pika! Pi Pi Kaka (No, you have to watch carefully how I defeat my opponent, you will also be on stage in the future, learn from me)"

"Kirby! (I want to play games)"

"Pika? (Are you sure?)"

Little Pi waved its fist, covering it with lightning.

"Kirby~ (I want to watch the match)"

"Pi~ (That's right)"

Qi Jing smiled and walked onto the stage after hearing Tan Zuoyin's translation.

But when he saw the mecha on the other side, he couldn't smile anymore.

He said to Little Pi:

"Little Pi, it seems like you can't one-shot her."

Gao Qi's mecha was entirely grass-green, and it also had two wings.

She had actually changed to a completely different mecha than before!

"If I'm not mistaken, the material for her mecha this time is an otherworldly mineral called 'Chlorophyllium,' which is incredibly hard, non-conductive, and even has some plant-like properties.

Little Pi, you're in for a fight this time."
