BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 - This Person Is Shameless!
Chapter 141: This Person Is Shameless!
Chu Luo felt an unprecedented sense of embarrassment. She really didn’t know how to face them. In the end, she could only nod with a wooden face.
The clueless Wang Mingtao asked amid his shock, “Sister Chu, you weren’t asleep until just now, were you? You’re too good at sleeping!”
Chu Luo was about to answer when the door opened behind her.
The five boys stood up at the same time and greeted obediently, “Hello, Brother Chu.”
Chu Luo felt the warm aura behind her and felt inexplicably nervous. She was worried about what Wang Mingtao and the rest would ask.
Li Yan nodded at them and asked Chu Luo in a low voice, “You plan to stand there forever?”
Chu Luo had just started walking when Wang Mingtao suddenly reacted and exclaimed.
“We’ve been here at Sister Chu’s since ten o’clock. When did Brother Chu enter her room?”
Tang Zhiyun and the others also looked confused.
Chu Luo stopped in her tracks.
“At half-past nine.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he walked around Chu Luo and walked out.
“Oh, oh! We thought Brother Chu had left in the morning.”
Wang Mingtao and the others immediately believed Li Yan.
At this moment, Wang Mingtao seemed to have discovered something. “Eh? Why has Brother Chu become fairer?”
Chu Luo then remembered that this person wasn’t wearing any disguise.
Li Yan casually replied, “I used whitening products.”
Then, he turned around and looked at Chu Luo. “Are you hungry?”
Chu Luo nodded subconsciously.
Li Yan asked Tang Zhiyun, “Where’s the housekeeper who takes care of you?”
Tang Zhiyun understood what he meant immediately. He took out his phone and said, “Brother Chu, Junior, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare food for you.”
He then asked, “Why didn’t you guys come out for lunch?”
“Luoluo was looking at the Interstellar Map of ‘Battle of Lightyears’ and wasn’t willing to eat.”
After saying that, Li Yan walked over to their side.
There were five desktops and a laptop on the gaming table. The laptop was Wang Mingtao’s.
Li Yan looked at the images on their screens and walked to sit down in front of the computer that hadn’t been turned on.
Chu Luo watched as Li Yan turned on his phone and quickly walked over to ask, “When are you leaving?”
She suddenly didn’t want to see this man.
How could Li Yan not know what she was thinking? The corners of his lips suddenly curled up. He said seriously, “From now on, as your older brother, I have to cheer you on here.”
Chu Luo: “…”
This person was too shameless!
Who was his younger sister!
Chu Luo glared at him and turned around to sit on the sofa. She took out her phone and started browsing the Internet.
She abruptly turned to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan saw her looking over and lifted his eyes.
Chu Luo retracted her gaze.
She quickly tapped on her phone for a while and finally found the post that had been deleted early in the morning. After reading it, the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably.
The housekeeper quickly sent lunch to them.
After dinner, Chu Luo briefly talked to the four of them about the distribution law of the entire “Battle of Lightyears” Interstellar Map, discussing the planets she felt they might be teleported to.
Li Yan left after dinner.
As the chairman of an international corporation, his job couldn’t be easy.
The next morning, the five of them gathered in Chu Luo’s living room.
The “Battle of Lightyears” gaming team sent some staff over.
The semi-finals continued for three days, from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon.
Compared to the preliminary rounds, the semi-finals were more intense. The number of people watching had reached an unprecedented level.
The internet companies under the Blazing Glory Corporation activated a high-speed network to avoid tens of thousands of comments paralyzing the network every second.
Speculations about the competition spread like wildfire on various large, medium, and small forums.
At half-past eight, all the participating teams logged into the game and waited for the system to release the details of the competition and the distribution of the planets.
At the same time, the entire “Battle of Lightyears” server was closed. All other players could only log into the competition viewing interface.
8:40.
World news:
[The rules of the semi-finals: The competition is divided into three days. Each team will be randomly dropped on a planet. From the moment they drop onto a planet, the players must get rid of the biggest boss on it. They will use the energy on this planet to build an Interstellar Warship. Each team must defeat five teams in order to advance. Otherwise, they will automatically be judged to have failed the mission.]
When the news got out, the Internet blew up.
“Haha, this is good. When the time comes, we will know which team is stronger.”
“This rule is good. It directly puts an end to certain teams’ thoughts of taking the opportunity to slack off and hide for three days before advancing.”
“‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ will definitely lose!”
“It’s a pity that the bet set by ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ has ended. If I had known that the game team would issue such a rule, I would have bet more.”
“Me too.”
“Sit and wait for the money to be distributed.”
…
Nine o’clock.
The system’s broadcast was completed.
The five members of “Phoenix Skies Legend” were thrown onto a planet covered in grass.
Xie Minghai, who was sitting in front of the computer, cheered excitedly. “Ohoho! Seeing such a beautiful scene, I suddenly feel poetic and want to compose a poem.
“The sky is vast and wild, and the grass is blown by the wind, but cows and sheep are seen. However, this group of cows and sheep are a little strong. Oh my god! Don’t tell me we were thrown into the boss’s lair!”
Tang Zhiyun said, “Junior, the four of us will go around and find out what is going on. You stay here and wait for us.”
Chu Luo replied, “Okay.”
After a while, the four of them returned with their game characters.
Tang Zhiyun typed in the dialog box:
[Carefree Wanderer]: “Bai Ling didn’t guess wrongly. We were thrown onto this planet covered in grass. Everyone, be careful. The big boss on this planet is one of the top ten interstellar monsters.”
[Dream Slayer]: “What should we do next, Junior? How about you allocate tasks to us?”
The other three immediately agreed.
Chu Luo said, “It’s too time-consuming to deal with the little boss. We might as well capture the leader first.”
Yu Lei: “Good idea. Then let’s go look for the big boss’s lair now.”
Chu Luo: “Don’t be anxious. We’ll split up into five directions this morning. We’ll find a place where we can build an Interstellar Warship and deal with the big boss in the afternoon.”
The four of them: “Okay.”
…
For the next half a day, the audience watching the competition had originally been paying special attention to the team, “Phoenix Skies Legend.” Among the dozens of shots, their team’s viewership was far in the lead.
Two hours later, the audience finally lost their patience.
“What’s going on? Are those people from ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ serious about the competition? It’s been two hours. Why haven’t they started fighting the boss? If I didn’t know they were competing, I’d think they were just strolling around.”
“Maybe they really?are?just strolling around. It’s been two hours. Not only are the five of them not fighting the boss, but they’re also walking on their own. Every one of them takes a detour when they encounter big and small monsters. It’s boring to watch.”
“It’s more interesting to watch the other teams fight the boss. In any case, ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ is destined to lose. I’ve decided not to watch them today. I’ll only watch the two teams I like.”
There was a row of agreements below.
At midnight, the audience who still had hope in “Phoenix Skies Legend” retreated from their scenes.
Instantly, the number of people watching “Phoenix Skies Legend” became the lowest among the dozens of teams.
Twelve to one.
Chu Luo and her team discussed the situation they had discovered in the morning while eating. They also formulated a battle plan to deal with the big boss.
The staff guarding the place seriously recorded all their conversations about the game.
While recording, a staff member couldn’t help but praise, “Your team is the most composed team I’ve ever seen.”
The five of them only smiled.
In the afternoon, “Phoenix Skies Legend” had the lowest view count among the dozens of teams.
2:30 PM.
The first piece of news on the World News:
[Congratulations to ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ for being the first to defeat the big boss of a planet. You have received a reward package.]
…
The world suddenly stopped for a few seconds. Then:
“Holy shit! Am I seeing things?!”
“Holy f*ck! When did ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ defeat the ultimate boss? Weren’t they just strolling around this morning?”
“D*mn! This won’t do. I have to see what ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ did just now. To think they suddenly finished off the big boss.”
…
Instantly, Blazing Glory’s network department sped up the regional network so that the audience wouldn’t encounter network problems when watching the replay of “Phoenix Skies Legend” defeating the ultimate boss.
The other dozens of teams were also in disbelief when they saw the world news.
“Maybe ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ simply got lucky. Maybe it’s because the ultimate boss on that planet happens to be the weakest.”
“So what if they’re the first team to defeat the ultimate boss? They’ll still be defeated by our team.”
…
Amid the discussions in the outside world, the five of them had already begun to quickly gather the materials to build an Interstellar Warship.
The next morning.
By the time the other teams had defeated the big boss and started building their Interstellar Warship, the five of them had already finished building theirs.
Just as the audience was thinking that “Phoenix Skies Legend” would directly drive their Interstellar Warship to attack the other teams, the five players of “Phoenix Skies Legend” drove their Interstellar Warship to a few nearby planets and fight bosses, collecting more materials.
“What are the people of ‘Phoenix Skies Legend’ trying to do? They can clearly strike first. Why didn’t they just attack the nearby teams?”
“I think water has entered their brains. They didn’t grasp such a good opportunity. Aren’t they aware that after the other teams’ Interstellar Warships are built, they’d have nothing on them?”
“They’re indeed a weak team.”
…
Just as many people were criticizing their team for being weak, Chu Luo, who was sitting in front of the computer, asked the four of them, “How’s the progress of your study of the Thirty-six Stratagems?”
The four of them replied at the same time, “We’re almost done learning.”
Chu Luo said, “Very good. Let’s employ two of the stratagems first.”
