It wasn’t until they got into the car and the car drove out that everyone standing there regained their senses.
Everyone stared at each other. Soone suddenly patted his chest and said, “[Bai Ling]’s aura was so strong just now. I was suppressed by it until I could barely breathe!”
Many people couldn’t help but nod inwardly.
Everyone couldn’t help but make a guess. “Maybe [Bai Ling] is really the daughter of so important figure. Everyone, don’t make wild guesses about her in the future. If you’re unlucky, you won’t even have a place to cry when she seeks revenge on you.”
Most people had thought it through and continued to worship [Bai Ling] as their goddess.
Only a small portion of people speculated maliciously: “Since her status is so high, maybe the gaming team opened a back door for her this ti. I don’t believe that a woman can play ‘Battle of Lightyears,’ enter the World Championship Finals, and even get first place in the end!”
No matter how the outside world discussed or speculated about her, Chu Luo didn’t care at all.
The group of people quickly arrived at the restaurant that the gaming team had booked beforehand.
The gaming team had booked the entire floor of the restaurant to welco the ten teams of contestants.
In order to cater to all the participants’ tastes, a buffet was served tonight, and there were both Chinese and Western cuisines.
As soon as everyone entered the restaurant, they saw nine of the top ten people waiting there.
These nine people ca from different countries and had different skin colors.
When everyone saw them, they excitedly surrounded them.
Tang Zhiyun and the other three also admired so of the top ten players. Seeing the nine of them being surrounded by others, they were also eager to join them.
However, they were worried about Chu Luo. Even if they wanted to go over and chat with their idols, they restrained themselves.
How could Chu Luo not tell what they were thinking? She walked straight towards the buffet table and said to them as she walked, “You don’t have to follow around. I’m a little hungry, so I’ll go and eat sothing first. There’d be too many people later to choose what I want.”
When they heard this, they were a little touched.
They knew that Chu Luo was saying this deliberately, and all the more, they made up their minds to follow her and protect her.
Chu Luo turned to look at them and asked, “Do you think soone can bully ?”
The image of Chu Luo beating soone up suddenly popped into their heads. They shook their heads at the sa ti.
Xie Minghai grinned and said, “Then, Junior, we’ll go greet our idols first before coming to eat with you.”
Chu Luo nodded.
Tang Zhiyun also asked, “Junior, do you really not have an idol?”
“Idols are people that a person can’t surpass. There’s no one that I can’t surpass. Why should I have an idol?”
“…”
‘Goodbye, Junior. We have nothing more to say.’
The four of them silently turned around and walked towards the crowd.
Chu Luo continued walking towards the buffet table.
The buffet was close to the large windowsill, which was semi-open. There were also a few armchairs and sofas beside it.
Chu Luo picked up a few types of food she liked and put them on a plate. She even picked up a few small pastries. She then turned around and sat down in an armchair by the window.
Looking at the night scenery of XX City while eating delicious food was extrely satisfying.
“Cough, cough.” At this mont, a cough sounded behind her.
Chu Luo turned around and saw a fair-skinned, blond, and blue-eyed man standing there. He had deep-set facial features and looked handso with a hint of gentleness.
When the man saw Chu Luo looking over, his lips imdiately curled into a gentle smile. “Hello, [Bai Ling].”
Chu Luo looked at him with those big eyes but didn’t say anything.
In the man’s eyes, she was nothing short of a little beast that was full of vigilance against him.
The man walked over slowly. His steps were very elegant, and his body naturally exuded an aristocratic aura.
He walked over to Chu Luo and extended his hand to her with a smile. “I’m [Linebarrel]. It’s good to see you here.”
Chu Luo didn’t shake his hand back but only nodded at him.
[Linebarrell] retracted his hand naturally and asked in a gentlemanly manner, “Can I sit here?”
“Sure.”
[Linebarrel] sat down on the sofa beside her and studied the mask on her face with his gentle eyes for a few seconds. He laughed softly and said:
“Previously, like everyone else, I’d guessed at your appearance, but like everyone else, I’d thought that you would be a boy. I didn’t expect you to really be a girl.”
Chu Luo lifted her chin slightly. “That’s because you’re biased against girls.”
“Sorry,” [Linenbarrel] said. “Your handling is too domineering. As you said, we were guessing your gender through our prejudice against won. I’m no exception.”
[Linebarrel]’s tone was too sincere and gentle, making one unable to get angry with him.
Chu Luo had a good impression of him in the ga. In real life, this person wasn’t bad either. She nodded, aning that she didn’t bla him.
[Linebarrel] smiled and talked to her about the finals.
“No one expected the gaming group to make the mission in the finals so difficult. Even the nine of us were only invited to be opponents for the grand finals after the semi-finals.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised to hear this. “Could this have been a last-minute decision by the gaming team?”
“I don’t think so. Previously, the gaming team had allowed us to form teams to practice our teamwork. We had already guessed sothing at that ti, but we didn’t expect it to appear in the finals.”
The two of them chatted rrily about the competition.
After a while, many people ca over.
“[Linebarrel], I didn’t expect you to be here. And [Bai Ling], your ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has won first place. You’ve got to have a drink with everyone tonight.”
“That’s right. As the loser, even if we are convinced, we still have to have a drink.”
Everyone talked at once, wanting Chu Luo to drink with them.
Many people at the scene wanted to see Chu Luo’s face under the mask, so they wondered if they could peek at her after she was drunk.
“Everyone, [Bai Ling] is a girl. It’s not good for her to drink too much,” [Linebarrel] said as he stood up.
He turned to Chu Luo and said, “[Bai Ling], let’s go. As the first placer, it’s not good for you to stay here and be idle.”
After saying that, he winked at her, as if saying that he would help her drink later.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Chu Luo thought for a while and stood up.
She set aside the unfinished plate and walked into the hall with everyone.
As soon as Tang Zhiyun and the other three saw Chu Luo and [Linebarrel] walking over together, they walked over imdiately.
At this mont, everyone gathered around.
Soone specially fetched wine for Chu Luo and [Linebarrel].
Looking at the glass of wine, Tang Zhiyun asked Chu Luo worriedly, “Junior, if you don’t know how to drink, I can help you drink it.”
Chu Luo gave him a “don’t worry” look and took the glass.
“Co on, let’s toast to [Bai Ling] first. We are convinced by your handling and strategy. I think you’re a carefree person in reality. You must drink this glass of wine.”
“Right, right, right. After drinking, tell us how your handling is so aweso.”
“How long have you been playing ‘Battle of Lightyears’?”
“How old are you?”
Everyone kept asking Chu Luo questions, wanting to dig up everything about her at once.
Chu Luo took the wine glass and pursed her lips slightly, not answering them.
From the first ti everyone saw her, they’d felt that she was a cold girl. It was expected that she wouldn’t answer. Everyone didn’t get angry and instead urged her to drink.
Chu Luo held the wine and was about to drink. At this mont, [Linebarrel] suddenly raised his hand to stop her and said to everyone, “[Bai Ling] is a girl and everyone here is a man. As gentlen, we shouldn’t make her drink.”
The people present ca from all kinds of social classes. When soone heard [Linebarrel] say that, for so reason, he directly teased:
“Mr. [Linebarrel], don’t tell you want to be the escort of [Bai Ling]? Tonight is such an important day, and as a mber of the first-place team, [Bai Ling] has to have a drink! Isn’t that right, everyone?”
After this person finished speaking, his team mbers imdiately cheered and replied loudly, “Yes.”
Chu Luo originally wanted to say that it was just a glass of wine, but she didn’t expect [Linebarrel] to think for a while before saying, “How about this? I’ll help [Bai Ling] drink.”
“How can that do!”
“That’s right. If you really want to help [Bai Ling] drink, you must drink three glasses in a row.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Everyone was cheering when Chu Luo raised the wine glass to her lips and drank it.
After she was done, she said, “Done.”
[Linebarrel] and the cheering crowd were stunned by her heroic act of finishing her wine.
[Linebarrel] said, “I’m surprised you can drink.”
Chu Luo smiled. “It’s not difficult to drink.”
[Linebarrel] lowered his eyes, and when he looked up, the smile in them had deepened. “If you say that, you’ll make us mistake you for a good drinker.”
“I?am?good at drinking.”
If not for the fact that Tang Zhiyun and the other three had been staring at her with watchful eyes, she would have gone straight to the place where the wine was kept as soon as she entered the venue. She wouldn’t have waited until she was forced to drink.
She glanced at those people and said, “Who is indignant after losing and wants to drink with …”
“I’ll help her drink them all.”
The sudden deep and cold voice made everyone subconsciously turn to look at the door.
When everyone saw the man who was also wearing a mask and who had a terrifying aura walk in, they all froze.
A few people swallowed their saliva with difficulty due to that aura.
Chu Luo glared at him, wondering what this person was up to.
Tang Zhiyun and the others let out a sigh of relief at the sa ti. They felt relieved that Brother Chu was here.
Only [Linebarrel] suddenly narrowed his eyes and quietly sized up the person.
