Chapter 457: Chapter 53: Mini Spring Festival Gala
“The day after tomorrow, which is the second day of the Lunar New Year, mbers from the war teams will co to visit,” Yan Yu said to his younger sister Yan Jing.
“Oh oh, sisters are coming over,” Yan Jing nodded, “Who exactly is coming?”
“All of them,” Yan Yu said.
Yan Jing: ???
Co on, big brother! All of them are into you, can’t you see that? During the New Year, even if each one has to co, you should at least stagger their visits!
Even the fish in a pond will fight if you put them together!
...
“I’ve already decided,” Yan Yu ignored her shocked expression, “You will be in charge of receiving them.”
“?” Yan Jing was stupefied.
“Yes,” Yan Yu said shalessly, “As my sister, it’s your duty to vet potential sister-in-laws, right?”
“Has big brother already decided to choose a sister-in-law from among them?” Yan Jing tentatively asked with skepticism.
“Not yet,” Yan Yu replied, “There are too many people who want to be your sister-in-law. You vet so now, and we’ll vet the others when they arrive.”
Yan Jing left with a heavy heart.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to vet potential sister-in-laws. After all, Yan Jing had been doted on since she was little, the apple of her parents’ eyes. Even though her brother sotis deliberately bullied her, he mostly looked after her.
If any new sister-in-laws were to co over, they had to be easy to talk to and fond of her. Otherwise, why would we let them into our ho? To ruin my enviable position as the center of attention?
But isn’t this too many prospective sister-in-laws! We already have Sister Zhao at ho, and now Sister Lingyun, Sister Ningning, Sister Yun Jin, and so Sister Ruoxi I’ve never t before… Is our ho hosting so kind of dating show?
The only consolation was that they all ca from the Zhenhai Team, so there must be so camaraderie. They probably wouldn’t be competing against each other during the New Year… right?
Yan Jing couldn’t fool herself. When she ca into the living room, she saw Yan’s mother having an enthusiastic conversation with Zhao Yuanzhen.
This was the second thing that gave Yan Jing a headache: her mother had been too impressed with Sister Zhao recently, to the point of treating her like a future daughter-in-law.
If mother had already set her mind on Sister Zhao, what would her reaction be when she t the other sisters?
Definitely not a happy one.
Yan Jing sighed for a while, her irritation growing the more she thought about it, and she even began to feel a bit angry.
Why should I dredge the pond that big brother dug?
She stomped back to her room in a huff, pushed the door open, and yelled at Yan Yu:
“I quit! All this talk about this sister and that sister, you go explain it to mom and dad!”
“Two million,” Yan Yu stated.
“Leave the hosting of the sisters-in-law to your little sister,” Yan Jing bowed respectfully and backed out of the door.
Yan Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, then he turned back to his computer and resud his work.
This bedroom was arranged just like the room in his old ho, including the laptop he bought in junior high, which he had brought over as well.
The specs of that old computer, by today’s standards, couldn’t run many computer gas, but Yan Yu didn’t plan to use it for entertainnt anyway; it was still convenient for watching live streams.
In the stream, was the “Gate Rock Pine Forest” Mysterious Realm broadcast, where the Dragon Soar Team and the Flying Dragon Battle Team joined forces to combat the Superhero Alliance and the Pear Blossom Courtyard swordsn. The number of online viewers had already broken eighty million, and that was just from the internet channel – it didn’t include TV viewers, which were probably the majority.
Netizens had dubbed this battle in the Mysterious Realm as “Mini Spring Gala,” but judging from the current figures, the viewership overtaking the actual Spring Gala wasn’t impossible.
Entertainnt-ifying super battles had beco an almost global consensus. No existing nation wanted to admit they were at war with their neighbors nearly every month, for fear of affecting dostic investnt confidence and public order and safety.
Turning super battles into competitive sports—fighting to the death during the match, but once it’s over, nothing happened—continued as normal, be it diplomacy or trade. It had beco what experts called an “international consensus.” To put it in simpler terms, everyone should not worry about a world war breaking out. It absolutely won’t happen. Peace and developnt remain the dominant the and strongest ssage.
As for whether the public believes it or not… well, Yan Yu certainly didn’t, so he continued to study his opponents through live broadcasts.
The screen was split in half, with the live stream window on the left and the chat column with Li Minghu on the right—this girl hadn’t been discharged from the hospital yet and was bored, so she gladly agreed to help Yan Yu analyze the live combat, exchanging opinions, finding and fixing flaws together.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Park Changmin’s strength has improved rapidly, much stronger than during the last battle at the Departure Palace.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Yes, but his swordsmanship level hasn’t improved much.
[Yuegua Donghu]: After switching to Flying Sword, his True Yuan is also much more powerful. He must have stacked it up with a large number of cultivation resources.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Park Changmin actually has the talent, but he just refuses to practice properly.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Is it because his sword techniques are awkwardly connected, indicating he has been slacking off in his practice recently?
[Win Over with Virtitude]: No, it’s because the Goryeo dia recently caught him dating a girl group mber. Engrossed in romance, how could he possibly train well?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Romance and serious training aren’t necessarily at odds, are they?
[Win Over with Virtue]: You’ve never been in love, how would you know they aren’t at odds?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Has Captain Yan ever been in love?
[Win Over with Virtue]: No, why? Want to give it a try with ?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Now? Sure, but I’m not comfortable with long-distance relationships. Why doesn’t Captain Yan transfer to our Qing An Battle Team?
[Win Over with Virtue]: Hahaha, let’s focus on the match, the Phoenix’s Self-Combustion technique is really troubleso, Lord Master doesn’t dare to confront it head-on, a single burn would cost him too much True Yuan.
[Yuegua Donghu]: The Phoenix’s head-to-head combat ability isn’t that great either. Actually, what suits him best isn’t frontal assaults but rather lateral restraints. If he suddenly dives in at a critical mont, if you dodge, he’ll cut through and disrupt your formation; if you choose to block, you’ll get scorched by the divine fire and lose True Yuan. It’s a losing situation either way.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Right, but the Superheroes won’t let him do restraints. He’s a veteran in the league now, with a frighteningly high contracted salary. It is said that the Superhero Alliance is planning to cut his salary, but the Phoenix strongly opposes it, so he’s definitely going to perform fiercely next, to boost fan loyalty and enthusiasm, perfect for tough salary negotiations with the league. If you assign him to do restraining tasks, he’ll be the first to oppose.
[Yuegua Donghu]: So, soldiers really shouldn’t mix business with duty. Should business interests co first or military objectives? When public justice and personal interest get entangled, corruption easily arises.
[Win Over with Virtue]: You’re right about that, but Miti has its own unique national circumstances.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Speaking of which, Ye Jun’s swordsmanship level seems to have noticeably advanced.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Indeed, she must have been refining her skills recently.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Why do I see soone’s shadow in her progress?
[Win Over with Virtue]: That’s your illusion.
[Yuegua Donghu]: I haven’t even said who it is yet /smile.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Her swordplay style still focuses on restraints. Although it’s about striking at the enemy’s rescue points, she always stops short, not expanding on victory but focusing on harassnt—I can say that this tactic is very suitable for her.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Did you really not help her with that?
[Win Over with Virtue]: No. Are you jealous?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Not jealous, just a little envious.
[Yuegua Donghu]: When will Captain Yan critique my swordsmanship and help plan and design?
[Win Over with Virtue]: Sure, co to Lin’an, and I’ll take a look for you.
[Yuegua Donghu]: How about the second day of the New Year?
Yan Yu almost flipped the computer in shock, but Li Minghu’s new ssage quickly followed.
[Yuegua Donghu]: Haha, just kidding, I haven’t been discharged yet.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Why choose the second day?
[Yuegua Donghu]: Because logically, it wouldn’t be proper to visit on New Year’s Day, in case there are any local customs, right? But the second day might be free.
[Win Over with Virtue]: Well, let’s wait for your discharge, and then I’ll co to find you.
