Chapter 718: 13.19 – Missed Star – Battle Royale
As soon as the announcement was made the camera focused on Instance 10, but no players dared to approach the card mound to become the remaining player’s sole target. They were all waiting for the arrival of the last but strongest team. The Autumn Dragon Team. Once they’ve heard footsteps all eyes of players whether they were hidden or not all focused on the entrance. They saw Ye Qiu wearing a gray white battle suit with two knives in his hands. He was walking elegantly as he walked by the entrance, a step behind him is his lover, Xie Long with a Swordgun in his hand wearing his usual daunting and cold face his icy eyes wander around intending to shoot anyone that dares to point a gun to his beloved. Behind him, Ru Tang and Tang Yuu were wearing a full bulletproof battle suit with only handguns in their hand while the other hands intertwined together. Ye Qiu stood by the entrance with his teammates. As they entered the gates of Instance 10 closed down.
World announcement: {All 50 players had gathered. Instance 10 will now open. Please begin the Battle Royale.}
Ye Qiu looked at the other couple behind him and commanded. “Go.” Once he said that Tang Ruan and He Yuu unhesitantly walked over to the King’s throne.
The other players moved all at the same time targeting the strongest team and wanting to eliminate them. Gunshots resound in the area. Long Xie used his gun to shoot the bullets and block the enemies’ attacks accurately. Leaving the others bewildered. The first wave ended up with Long Xie’s one man guarding behind him Ye Qiu smiling while playing with his knives.
Lou Ye couldn’t help but curse, “Fuck! It was so amazing that all the bullets were blocked by one person!? Shit! This is so exciting!!!”
Lin Lan said, “That is a modern Sword Gun. It can exchange 1000 bullets all in all. Count the bullets. Little Rabbit prepares to run. Xiao Wu and Soundless protect Little rabbit. Go!”
Tu Zise who held his card in his hand already ran towards the altar with Ye Wusheng protecting him closely, their backup Mo Feng was sniping in the hidden shadows backing them up. Seeing that some players did the same thing while trying to block the other players, most of them were still attacking the first couple who was halfway to the altar. There’s chaos within Instance 10. Once the sword gun on Xie Long’s hand finished all 100 rounds of bullets the other players thought they had a higher probability of winning. They had an all-out attack on Tang Ruan and He Yuu.
Lou Ye exclaimed, “Did his 1000 rounds done!? Let’s attack them too, Lan’er!” but he was pulled over by his partner to run to the side.
“Come over here, fool! There’s still Autumn!?” said Lin Lan and the moment he pulled over his partner to run over to the corner.
Playful giggling resounds in the area as a white figure falls from above Tang Ruan and He Yuu. Like a falling angel, the silver alloy strings move according to his hand’s gestures spreading all over the instance area like spider webs capturing all those within his area’s attack to be captured by the alloy string. The caught players were strangled to death by such a thin silver string. In an instant half of the players were forced out of the game. Adding up the first 15 players killed by Long Xie accidentally. There are only 15 players remaining in the field with Team Autumn Dragon and Team Silent Night in counting.
Silence overwhelmed the whole field even those who were running toward the altar paused when they witnessed such a devastating scene. Moreover, the culprit had a playful expression on his face while covered in blood adding that exquisite beauty that cold eyes that look at them with disdain. He looks like a War God covered in blood tainting his white battle suit with his enemy’s blood.
Ye Qiuji smiled, “Since there are 10 slots left 2 to our team and I’ll let go of the rest of the slots to you guys, okay?”
The rest of the players nodded their heads. No one else approached the altar, the other players were waiting for Tang Ruan and He Yuu to insert their cards first and leave the area with the other couple before Team Autumn Dragon left Instance 10 area, he smiled in some dark corner scaring the one person hidden in that area before walking away hand in hand with his husband.
Long Xie asked, “Is something wrong, baby?”
“Nothing much. I’m just hungry,” replied Ye Qiuji who pulled his husband and team leaving the instance area for the rest of the remaining players.
Once Team Autumn Dragon left the instance area, Mo Feng fell from the wall he was hiding while trembling so badly with his eyes widened in shock.
Thud!
“Soundless? What’s wrong?” asked Lin Lan worriedly while helping him stand.
Lou Ye laughed, “Did you slip or something?”
“I…I think… S-Senior Autumn knew I was… hiding there. He looked at me… t-then I fell,” replied Feng Mo while stuttering while he panicky calls for his system.
Lin Lan spoke, “It’s normal. People like Senior Autumn have heightened senses than normal people. He must have seen you there.”
“Moreover, he loves to tease his prey. I mean his target,” said Lou Ye.
Ye Wusheng and Tu Zise returned to the group as they successfully entered their cards. Passing the clearance as a team. The other slots were divided among the rest of the players. The Second Elimination Match ended. The Top five rankings are followed as:
Individual Ranking:
1: Xiao Ru
2: Prince
3: Little Rabbit
4: Xiao Wu
5: Qin
Team Ranking:
1: Autumn Dragon 130 kills
2: Silent Night 30 Kills
3: Wang 10 Kills [Qin’s Team]
4: Jin Entertainment
5: Coded
Once the last arena was burned after it was done for its purpose the players were brought out through their life capsule. Of course, Crossover prioritized Team Autumn Dragon members, which most people had special types of identities. The first ones to wake up are Long Xie and He Yuu. They went to their lover’s capsule, waking them up from sleep. Behind them, the cameras were following over to record the whole thing for advertisement.
“Prepare the cameras! Ah, move it down a bit, wipe the lens but don’t get it dirty~ hurry up. This is like opening up a pearl oyster. Come on let Lord Long wake up Lord Ye!”
The dim interior was suddenly pierced by the light. The beauty’s eyes were tightly closed, his eyebrows twisted, and his eyelashes quivered due to sudden noise and cold. Long Xie who opened the capsule was holding a black fur coat on his arm. He had once again given the crew 60 seconds to record them both. Above the capsule, the camera lights flashed wildly. The deputy director gestured and the little stage manager immediately held their breath and stepped away, gesturing for Long to shake his lover awake.
“Baby~ wake up,” said Long Xie with a gentle tone while he carried his wife, letting him wear the black fur coat and princess carried him in his arms.
Once Ye Qiuji smelled the familiar scent of musk, a metallic fragrance with hints of sandalwood, he knew who was carrying him and subconsciously hugged the warm body near him, rubbing his face to that firm chest of his husband.
The director whispered from behind. “Our Goddess and God’s face value is really battle worthy!” while looking at the camera playback and was both pleased and complacent.
To the side, the other camera was recording the other couple but unlike the first pair, this couple is a bit on the comedic side. They watched He Yuu try to princess carry his fiancée, Tang Ruan, only to be hit on the head.
Tang Ruan a bit groggily still refused to be lovey-dovey in front of the camera. “I’m heavy, don’t princess carry me. Transport me on your back!”
“Yes. Yes.” He Yuu followed as he let Tang Ruan climb on his back carrying him away.
Once the recording of the most famous couple was done. They now focus on the other couples like Ye Wusheng and Tu Zise as well as the weird pair of Lin Lan and Lou Ye. Though this pairing isn’t as popular as the two first couples, these pairings also caught numerous fans to be on their side. From Team Silent Night the first ones to wake up are the fool of the team, Lou Ye, and the lonely young master, Mo Feng, who disappeared wanting to avoid the cameras. Lou Ye instantly went to Lin Lan’s capsule like a loyal but foolish dog.
They even recorded him knocking on the capsule waking up Lin Lan who is still inside the capsule. Once Lin Lan woke up seeing Lou Ye’s face he couldn’t help but gesture that fool to open his capsule but the idiotic dog confusedly gestured that he doesn’t know how. In the end, a staff opened it for them, and Lou Ye got scolded by Lin Lan as soon as he was freed. But the anesthetic was still inhaled as Lin Lan fell a bit numb on his legs and Lou Ye had to carry him on his back. Lou Ye was treated as a horse. The next one to wake up is the silent prince who made movements with well-mannered gestures. Once he took back the controls of his body he went to his little cute lover, Tu Zise to carry him half asleep on his back.
Meanwhile, the other entertainment team members, Golden Duo C: Ming Ren and Jin Yao reunited once again. Ming Ren, who brandished his gun a few hours ago, had reddened eyes. Within the ambush of the two gods, Jin Yao whole protected him and made sure that he escapes the 100-meter circle so he can survive but because he was the sole player from his entertainment, he wasn’t able to beat the two best teams: Autumn Dragon and Silent Night members from getting the top five seats. He only ranked sixth. With eyes swollen from crying, he squatted beside his captain, Jin Yao, unable to choke out a single word.
Jin Yao was both moved, and helpless and could only pat him on his head to calm him down. “Didn’t you almost enter the top five? Not bad! You didn’t lose face for our Jin Team. Xiao Ren, why don’t you get up first? It’s not good for you to squat here like this.” Coaxed Jin Yao.
The top fifteen players from individual rankings were called for an interview. [Ranking 1 to 15]: Ye Qiu, Xie Long, Tang Yuu, Ru Tang, Lou Ye, Lin Lan, Ye Wusheng, Tu Zise, Mo Feng, Jin Yao, Ming Yao, Qin Wang, Shrill Flare, Yan Wei, and Lan Ye. Once the interviews were finished, the players gathered by the lawn as their agencies prepared some barbeques.
Each team was given a spot while individual players were given a buffet to enjoy as well. In Team Autumn Dragon the ones cooking are He Yuu and his lover, Tang Ruan while their lords were waiting. Long Xie is massaging his wife’s body from fatigue and aftereffects of anesthetics. In Team Silent Lou Ye, Ye Wusheng and Tu Zise were doing the cooking.
On the other hand, the program producer had a huge smile on his face as he looked at his terminal. He was delighted by the results of their show and fan videos. At this time, the traffic flow of the shows was very good. The official clips from the second match are greater than the first match. Several classic clips from the collected videos spread out rapidly and countless tags were pushed up so quickly they seemed to fly.
[The Gods Descent: God CP [Autumn X Dragon God], we are invincible together like how our love is!!!]
[The Regal Pair: Royal CP [Xiao Ru X Prince], You are to serve me, never leave me and always return to me!]
[Golden Double C: Jin CP [Ming X Jin], Clipping my wings for you and sending you to fly high.]
[Silent Night Pair one: Weird CP [Lin X Lou], My loyal dog you are mine for eternity.]
[Silent Night Pair two: Adorable CP [Xiao Wu X Xiao Tutu], I will play with you even forever.]
[Shadow Pair: Noble CP [Mo Feng X Qin Wang], The lonely Prince and War freak King.]
The program producer was suddenly very excited, “I think we can do something big!”
Blood Pigeon bewildered. “… What?”
The program Producer said, “We can change our thinking a bit and actively respond to the fans’ demand. In terms of forming groups, the SWAT team is something the audience will get tired of watching. We will do CP [Couple Pairing] instead!”
Puzzled little Blood Pigeon, “I don’t understand?”
“Tsk. Go asked Lady Xiang. This is why it’s hard talking to straight males. Ah, little fellow, come over. Write a plan for the upcoming meeting. First, let’s do the CP Group team building then the group performance and couple performance.” The producer said leaving the puzzled Blood Pigeon on his own.
