“Congratulations to Contestant ‘Lu Xueqi’ for winning the champion of the King of Fighters Competition!”
“Awesome!”
“She turned the table with an unusual strategy and character!”
“She could turn the tables in such a match?!’
In the cheers, people looked at the two opponent on the platform in disbelief.
Sitting in the lounge area, Dong Qingli asked in bafflement, “What happened? Didn’t you say that she would be taken down by one hammer?”
“Yeah. What happened?!” The Royal Princess, who was wearing light armor and had a ponytail, dressing as an Amazon from Diablo 2, looked over.
“Who said those words?” The girls all looked toward Mr. Fang, Mu Donglai, and Xiao Yulv.
Mr. Fang turned to look at Xiao Yulv and Mu Donglai.
“I didn’t say it!” ‘You Ji’ covered his mouth. “I’m always cautious and never dared to predict the outcome.”
All the gazes rested on Mu Donglai.
“Ugh…” The Royal Princess’s pretty face twitched.
“I heard that people in the Star-Observing Tower can predict our country’s fate with the information derived from the Star-Observing Map left by the previous emperor,” The Second Prince, who was cosplaying a Paladin in silver armor, said, “The people from the Star-Observing Tower never left the tower and roamed around the world.”
“You mean…” The Royal Princess moved closer toward him.
“Then, a star sign came from the Star-Observing Tower, and a super genius from the tower came out and began roaming the mortal world?”
The Royal Princess whispered, “Isn’t that situation just a rumor?”
“What did the sign say?”
“Hush… Be careful. The star sign said that one country (Dajin) is going to be destroyed…” The Second Prince looked around the prosperous Dajin and fell silent.
“The man who derived this star sign was…”
“He is…” The Royal Princess glanced at Mr. Mu, who was sitting not far from them and watching the awarding ceremony on the big screen, oblivious to their talks, and she said in disdain, “Those are just rumors. After all, Mr. Mu said that Origins Internet Club is good.”
The Second Prince said, “After he said that, the Origins Internet Club was boycotted by the whole Jiuhua City.”
The Royal Princess said, “Everyone knows Mr. Mu’s contribution to our country. For example, he came to Shengjing to watch the national examination…”
“Sister… After that, the national examination was canceled…”
“Pu! Cough!”
With a puzzled expression, Mr. Mu chuckled, “What a surprise! She won just like that?! The battles are indeed unpredictable! I can’t believe that I made a mistake in this calculation. No wonder my master always tells me to get more experience whenever I return to the Star-Observing Tower.”
Cold sweat popped out on Mr. Fang’s face. “…”
At this moment, the award ceremony began.
“Next, Mr. Fang will present prizes to our winners of the top three places!”
“Firstly, we invite the winner of the third place, Contestant ‘Kyo Kusanagi’, to the platform!” In the Jiuhua City Shop, Host Little White asked ‘Kyo Kusanagi’, “What are your thoughts at this moment?”
Mr. Fang had already taken out a red square box with a length of half a meter.
‘Kyo Kusanagi’ said, “It doesn’t count! How could the main character not be the champion?!”
The bullet comments flooded the screen!
[Hahahaha! Kyo Kusanagi: I don’t believe it! I want to fight again!]
[Kyo Kusanagi: What’s this damn Boss at the end of the game?! Where’s Orochi?!]
[Report Contestant ‘Orochi’ for cheating! He got external help! ]
[Hahahaha! The Daoist friend who wrote the prior message is too talented!]
“…”
“Next, Mr. Fang will present the prize to the winner of the second place, Contestant Biyao!”
‘Biyao’ from the Half City Shop said, “Since Host Little White can’t come here, I have to talk all by myself as a host. I want to say that Little Brother Kyo Kusanagi fought very well. Also, Contestant Lu Xueqi’s played Ryuji Yamazaki well, and it is surprising!”
The bullet comments showed on the screen.
[I was surprised too!]
[I was stunned!]
[The last play had the shop owner’s style!]
“Lastly, we invite the champion, Contestant ‘Lu Xueqi’, to come up to the platform!” Host Little White walked up. “I heard that this is the second time that she won a championship. Besides, our Contestant ‘Lu Xueqi’ is the youngest genius in Dajin. Would you like to say something to us?”
“In fact, I was surprised too.”‘Lu Xueqi’ said in her cold voice, “When I practice, I indeed can’t defeat certain people, which is why I resorted to an unexpected character to catch my opponent off guard.”
She was modest today, which was rare of her.
“Congratulations to the champion!”
“The second champion? How did she do it?!”
“Unrivalled!”
“…”
About 10,000 people from major factions and forces gathered in the two shops, and they turned their eyes to the competition. At the same time, bullet comments flooded the screen furiously, almost completely covering the live show.
Customers from both shops almost cheered simultaneously.
With her lips slightly curving up, the tall and cold girl faintly smiled; her smile looked so charming and bright as if it were a ray of warm sunshine in the spring that was melting ice and snow.
A while later, the camera turned to the two temporary hosts while they announced, “Next is our music festival!”
People cheered again before the venue could quiet down.
The big screen dimmed, and spotlights shot down on the arena. A beauty wearing a green long dress stood there like a gorgeous green lake.
Under the colorful neon lights, the cultivators standing behind her with all kinds of instruments in their hands were dressed like people from the ‘Ghost King Faction’ from Jade Dynasty as well.
“Biyao?!”
When the familiar music came from the electric guitar in her arms, the audience was astonished.
“??!!”
“Biyao is playing rock-and-roll?!’
They were stupefied.
All the cultivators and warriors were stunned by the sight.
Wearing the ancient long dress, ‘Biyao’ held the electric guitar and plucked the strings with an energetic beat.
All the people looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Then, she began to sing, “Jung sing heung hei gwai ga dik seun hou, joi ta sang meng leui, fong fat dai dim hei heui…”
[TL Note – Meaning: The clock bell chimes the signal to go home. In his life, there seems to carry a small sigh of regret.]
“Isn’t this the song that we hear in Mr. Fang’s Qzone everyday?!”
Most of them had not only heard of it but could sing it as well.
People began to calm down from the heated atmosphere while the strong beats of the song knocked on their hearts.
Without them noticing it, they began to sing along.
“Nin yuet ba yung yau bin jou sat heui, pei gyun dik seung ngan dai jeuk kei mong…”
[TL Note – Meaning: The years have changed possession into loss. The set of fatigued eyes still carries hope..]
While more and more people joined the singing, some words from the song seemed to touch the soft spots in their hearts.
The numbness to time, the hope for the future, the hunger for freedom… The thoughts that they had suppressed inside for dozens or even hundreds of years seemed to flow out at this moment and surged up into a grand wave of passion!
Soon, all the players in the shops stood up and sang.
“Yat sang ging gwo pong wong dik jang jat. Ji seun ho goi bin mei loi. Man seui yau nang jou dou…”
[TL Note – Meaning: A lifetime of loss and struggle. Believing in one’s ability to change the future. Who else can accomplish this?]
Cheers and exclamations mingled, and the atmosphere in the two shops reached a climax that they had never seen before both inside and outside the shop.
Mr. Fang, “What a surprise… They are so high at the very beginning of the festival…”
“How come I feel like these guys know how to have fun better than I do!”
