The scrolling comnts exploded instantly.
“Little Witch! Little Witch ahhhhh you’re still young, mama won’t allow you to be interested in boys ahhh!!”
“Wait a minute, am I the only one who can’t see the profile image of this player clearly? It’s 360 degrees of high level blurriness––feeling heartache for my Little Witch, this isn’t a bond between the initiator and the viewer, this is a blind snipe!!!”
On the other hand, Ying Xiangxiang wasn’t very surprised, “The Lovers instance has a maximum of fourteen participants, and Zoe has already been blocked outside by the rules. Judging from the layout of the field, this contestant is Little Witch’s only choice. In that case, let’s take a look at the new contestant’s information––”
She paused abruptly.
Na: Wei Shi
Gender: Male
Trainee level: C
The profile image was so well blurred that it seed that the photographer’s hand had shaken hard enough to create their own mosaic effect. It could only be vaguely seen that this Contestant Wei had a deep profile that cast clear outlines of light and shadow, and nothing else could be seen.
His height wasn’t filled in, weight was empty, hobbies were empty, sexual orientation was empty... the company background section was a stretch of blankness, and only the words ‘Individual Trainee’ were marked at the bottom of the page.
Fortunately, Ying Xiangxiang responded quickly enough and swiftly steered the topic away, “So, by the third elimination match, the statistics show that there are only three individual trainees left in the Crosson Show...”
On the other hand, she hastened to make a gesture under the table, telling the program team to update the player’s information.
Backstage.
The Crosson Show program producer’s expression was muddled, “We have this person in our show?”
The little editor was also blank, but the intern who was watching the monitors on the other side was able to go through the playback, “Contestant Wei was in the Judgent card instance for the first round, then changed the card to the Chariot card in the second round. In the third round, he blocked White Moonlight’s sniper in order to enter this instance.”
The program producer nodded repeatedly, “His strength isn’t bad. How co he wasn’t on cara previously?”
The little editor faltered, “He rose up from D-level. There are too many contestants willing to pay money for exposure, so there’s no screen ti left for those at level D and under––”
The program producer understood, “Oh, there’s no helping that. We have to give priority to the people who pay. See, he’s able to remain until the third match despite not putting in money. If he’s good, he’ll naturally shi&#k2026;ne&#k2026;”
The program producer suddenly stopped talking and stared at the screen, then slapped his thigh. He really wanted to grab his subordinates and personally give them orders, “This face, look at this face! We should’ve given him screen ti even from the first episode, and we could’ve pulled a couple more endorsent fees! Hey, how do you guys judge people? You ignore the good looking ones in front of you and try to fool the audience with subpar goods? Hey?”
The Crosson Show, ‘The Lovers’ tarot card instance.
The lights ca on, and the contestant descended from the preparation area. Then the cara swept over Wei Shi, and there was a mont of silence outside the arena, followed by a burst of activity in the scrolling comnts––
“Wait a minute, this little brother is a little handso.”, “My god, who’s this?? How co I didn’t see him in the contestant list earlier?”, “This is the new person who just ca!”, “The newcor is Li, Little Witch’s partner? I’m suddenly excited!”
In the screen, the man’s facial features were cold and indifferent, his body strong and powerful. He was fully equipped with goggles, a sniper rifle, shotgun, bulletproof vest, and bayonet. Beneath the goggles, the bridge of his nose was high and cast sharp shadows, and the lines of his face were cold and hard as his gaze swept across the lens. The pupils that were a dark brown through the goggles were dark and opaque, and his deterring aura penetrated through the lens as he stood there.
This was the complete opposite feeling from Wu Jin; this was a character who took aggression to the extre.
The live broadcast room was buzzing with activity, and the excitent was practically pushed to the highest peak when the cara shifted to the side.
Wu Jin’s head was tilted sideways slightly, and he was currently looking in Wei Shi’s direction.
At this ti, in the Lovers instance, everyone including the Jingyi double c had already gotten together with their teammates in accordance with the rules. They encouraged each other if they were already familiar or introduced themselves if they were strangers.
Looking back at Wu Jin, when the two people’s gazes collided, amber pupils flashed, causing the man to unhesitatingly pull out a gun––
The audience, host, and program producer all sucked in a cold breath: ... My god! What kind of godly developnt was this?!
Just when everyone thought that Wei Shi was about to perform ‘dostic violence’ and kill Wu Jin in order to obtain a few easy points, the youth reached out quickly––and delightedly accepted the shotgun that the big boss had tossed over, very naturally switching out and replacing his submachine gun with it.
In the studio, Ying Xiangxiang’s control over her facial expression almost collapsed, and it took her a second to regain her senses. Blood Pigeon who was beside her imdiately spoke up to smooth out the awkwardness, “I believe that everyone knows this, but in a 100 ter wide instance, as soon as one nears their opponent, a shotgun becos the best weapon of choice. Now, for the configuration of each team...”
At the sa ti, the comnts in the live broadcast room had already exploded.
“He wasn’t drawing his gun? He was tossing it over? I didn’t see wrong?”
“His expression is so cold––if I was Little Witch, I would’ve been scared off a long ti ago, oh, no, I would’ve counterattacked! Wait a minute, how co Little Witch knew that he was giving him a gun? I saw that he didn’t even try to dodge at all?”
“I don’t know... how did they communicate just now? Brain waves??”
In the screen, Wu Jin had finished setting up his gear. He paused slightly when he was about to lift his head up to look at the big boss.
A large number of caras are swarming around, from the front and back, left and right.
The Lovers instance had a significantly higher cara density than other instances. The program team was well-prepared––it seed that even after a thousand years, the public interest in cinematic entertainnt was still easy to guess.
Wu Jin was instantly cautious. Even if he really wanted to celebrate, his reason reminded him to be very restrained so that he didn’t cause big brother any trouble.
One of them lived in the South Tower, while the other lived in the North Tower. They had also never interacted before in the program.
A familiarity that crossed borders would trigger the fans’ powerful curiosity and stimulate their ability to dig for gossip.
Wu Jin looked up, his round pupils shining as they stared into the brown goggles.The polarizing layer of protection stripped away the deep darkness in the depths of the man’s eyes, making it seem as though they held a warm glow.
In their ears, there was the sound of the pair of players closest to them still breaking the ice, exchanging nas, and reporting their affiliation to each other before reaching an agreent.
In the cara screen, Wu Jin finally opened his mouth, speaking in the clear and bright voice of a youth. Due to his prudence, he regained so of the handso aura he’d had during the earlier gunfight, but there was no way for him to be completely solemn.
The youth raised his small round face and held out his right hand, “Hello, my na is Wu Jin.”
The cold lines of the man’s face seed to soften slightly, “Wei Shi.”
Exchanging handshakes was etiquette that originated from the slash and burn era. Strangers would let others touch their palm in order to show that they had no weapons in their hands.
Dry and hot, the callused right hand stretched out to Wu Jin. The small curls shifted in the breeze the mont that their skin touched.
It was like he’d been suddenly stuffed with a milk candy; he was obviously so happy he couldn’t hold it, yet he had to pretend not to know each other. Wu Jin seed to want to laugh, the corner of his lips twitching before his small round face imdiately turned serious, then twitching again, and turning serious again.
He was so full of excitent that he couldn’t suppress it even when he tried. It was like stacking up rabbit balls on soft and fragrant spring grass; one rabbit, two rabbits, three rabbits, until they couldn’t be piled up anymore and tumbled down to roll everywhere.
Wei Shi glanced at Wu Jin who stood there foolishly happy with his back to the cara, and rubbed his hand against the youth’s damp, soft palm before retracting his hand.
The friendly introduction between the two n was caught by the cara, and other than so alert girls who caught onto every detail like a microscope, the others were still imrsed in the discussion of ‘starting with a shot or sending over a gun’ and couldn’t extricate themselves.
In the middle of the instance, in mid-air, the angel’s smile was shallow as a scoreboard slowly opened up in the empty space––the Lovers instance had just begun!
At this mont, in Azure Cosmos, Floating City.
Arjun, who was currently fighting with the black cat, suddenly looked up at the virtual projection screen, “Bro, bro, brother Wei?!”
The black cat seized the opportunity and lifted its paws to swipe them across his face, but was taken by surprise when Arjun pressed it down headfirst into the sofa.
The spacious room held Floating City’s two law enforcent officers, the chief researcher, the first royal cat, and the most distinguished guinea pig in the city. The Crosson Show live broadcast that took place once every two weeks was a must-see for these few people.
After facing the cat and hollering for a while, Arjun finally realized that he was the only one in the room who’d been given a scare.
On the other side of the sofa, Researcher Song, the chief researcher of Floating City’s laboratory, took a sip of tea and looked relieved, “He has to make his debut sooner or later. Showing up on the cara earlier is a good thing.”
“At the ti, when I advised Brother Wei to participate in the Crosson Show, the original intention was to allow him to learn how to integrate into society with a new identity and express his feelings in a collective environnt. He could also go and pick up two debut spots so that we can make a battle team and boost the economy... I didn’t think that this man would end up either cutting class or avoiding the cara.”
Researcher Song took another look at the screen, “But now it’s different. Actively revealing himself to the cara is a manifestation of the effectiveness of the treatnt plan and is the result of the entire body of research work done under my leadership.”
Arjun: “... This isn’t actively going on cara. Brother Wei is just showing his face for Little Witch’s sake. What’s that called, making an oath of sovereignty––”
The black cat jumped up and down. Seeing that it was about to hit the guinea’s roller toy, the law enforcent officer Mao Dongqing suddenly reached out to toss the black cat back at Arjun.
On the virtual screen, the first skirmish had just broken out.
xiin: brain waves!!!
WS’s brain wave: ‘Take the gun (and my heart with it)’, WJ receives: “Little follower, take the gun and don’t let down.”
