Showing off backfired, and it’s even worse when you slap your own face... Ouch, it really hurts.
Ji You lay on the ground, not saying a word, until the system automatically removed her from the scene... Once she left the arena, Ji You’s face completely collapsed, turning into a bitter gourd expression.
It still came down to Physical Strength!
If only her Physical Strength were a little better, the outcome of the match might have been different.
The problem lay in Ji You’s inadequate Physical Strength. In that moment, Ji You decided not to hold back and used the Particle Cannon, with its immense power, fired by Little Shengsheng to pull them both to their doom.
If you can’t win, might as well die together.
Ji You’s strategy was successful, but the problem was that her Physical Strength was not just one level weaker than Little Shengsheng’s. After the explosion of the Particle Cannon, she had only a breath left and died after spitting it out.
But what about Little Shengsheng?
Little Shengsheng was still alive, at least able to stand up and carry a knife to come over and chop her...
That’s how cruel the competition is; whoever dies first loses.
Or rather, that’s how cruel war is; once you’re dead, you lose everything.
Ji You pondered for a moment and did not rush to start the next match but flipped through the current scoring rankings. At the top of the list was still Little Shengsheng, who had a great advantage of 66 battles and 66 victories, taking the lead in the system’s ratings.
The second place, a player named ’Fu Feng,’ was also very stable, always firmly holding onto the spot of the perennial runner-up.
The third place was Drunk Lying on the Beauty’s Knee. This guy, Ji You was now a hundred percent sure was Chu Jiaojiao! Chu Jiaojiao deserved the third-place ranking.
Ninth place, Little Cutie.
When she saw this name, an incredibly radiant but not at all coquettish face flashed inexplicably through Ji You’s mind—
How could Little Cutie, such a formidable figure, be Sheng Qingyan at all?
Immediately after, Ji You looked at the tenth place.
The tenth place, Lord Mo, had participated in fewer matches, but scored high in every one, so it could be said that his strategy was quality over quantity, and he had qualified on strength.
Ji You looked at the other players in the top 20. To her surprise, King’s Expedition and Hero King had both made it into the top 20, ranking 16th and 18th respectively.
What about Ji You herself?
Her ranking was 14th, mainly losing points from the matches against Little Shengsheng and Chu Jiaojiao.
Additionally, Xiaoqing and Dominate the Universe also made it into the list. These two, now transparent in Ji You’s eyes, were Shen Changqing and Yue Qiyuan respectively. Shen Changqing was in 15th place. Yue Qiyuan was in 17th...
Seeing her friends all make it into the top 20, Ji You was very happy.
Whether it was Ji You herself, Shen Changqing, or Yue Qiyuan, their current rankings were quite awkward because they had not made it into the finals. There were only 10 spots for the finals—that is, the top 10 in the East District!
So, whether it was Ji You, Shen Changqing, or Yue Qiyuan, they all had a long way to go.
As Ji You was pondering who to challenge next, she suddenly saw a system announcement that someone had issued a challenge request to ’Little Cutie,’ and Little Cutie had accepted.
Ji You didn’t hesitate and immediately chose to spectate.
Fortunately, Ji You squeezed into the spectator seats in time. She was sitting in the fourth row, fourth seat from the front, and with just a lift of her gaze, she had a clear view of everything in the arena, enjoying a very wide field of vision.
Ji You was very satisfied.
So, she patiently waited for the match to begin.
Soon, the competitors entered the arena. Ji You spotted Hero King—who was piloting the latest model Mecha—the moment she set her eyes on the field. She frowned slightly: "Little Cutie’s opponent is that sly Hero King."
Ji You had fought a round with Hero King and had almost fallen for his 100,000 points ploy—if it wasn’t for her solid strength, she might have been trampled over and used for his publicity stunt.
However, the guy’s strength couldn’t be said to be poor, especially in Lanyue Star Military School, he was among the best.
If one were to say that his strength was fear-inducing, that was not the case either. At least in the East District, there were many who were stronger than him—enough to string together a long list to thoroughly beat him...
In short, if she were to face Hero King, Ji You’s policy would be to demonstrate disdain in attitude, but she would take him seriously in tactics. As long as she was steady and methodical, she would definitely defeat him.
This time, Hero King seemed to have really invested heavily in an attempt to enter the finals, not only replacing all his equipment but also exhibiting a sharp and unrestrained demeanor.
How would Little Cutie respond?
Ji You was very curious.
She turned her head to look at ’Little Cutie’ and then felt somewhat speechless. The player named Little Cutie was actually closing his eyes and slouching.
Sleeping in the middle of the arena? This is just too bizarre.
Ji You was speechless. She turned her head and glanced at the surrounding audience, noticing that she wasn’t the only one feeling baffled, although many spectators seemed unfazed.
Ji You clicked her tongue: "What’s up with this Little Cutie?"
The countdown to the start of the match was ticking down, only a few seconds left, and Little Cutie still had his eyes shut, appearing to be in a sweet slumber.
Audience A: "Little Cutie, wake up! It’s time to get ready to fight."
Audience B: "Darling, stop sleeping, or you’ll be finished."
Audience C: "Little Cutie, time’s up."
Audience D: "Hero King! Eliminate this lazybones right away! Instantly! I don’t want to see this guy sleeping in the arena anymore, it’s frustrating."
Listening to the various discussions around, Hero King had a calm face, ready for all situations.
What about Little Cutie?
Little Cutie was still closing his eyes, motionless, as if he was a salted fish.
The countdown ended, and the contesting parties were no longer protected by the system but fully exposed to the firing range of the enemy’s guns. Just as Ji You was on edge and the other clueless spectators worried for Little Cutie—
It was at this moment that Little Cutie suddenly opened his eyes. They were a pair of beautiful, dazzling eyes, the deep black shimmering with specks of starlight, captivating and unforgettable at a glance.
As soon as Little Cutie opened his eyes, he didn’t move an inch, and merely nonchalantly took out his Mecha, then set up the gunstocks, barrels, and other parts. After that, everyone saw a blur flash by, followed by a booming explosion that erupted in everyone’s ears...
Little Cutie initiating the attack and firing a shot at Hero King.
Little Cutie fired another shot.
Hero King continued to dodge.
As though they cost him nothing, Little Cutie’s shells were scattered all over the place.
