Chapter 239: Game Pool

After Armand returned to the team, Mu Sicheng, who had been blown down by the wind, was so angry that he stood up and wanted to continue to charge forward, but was held down by Bai Liu.

Bai Liu looks across the crowd, far back from Georgia's eyes.

Georgia's eyes lingered on the troublesome Mu Sicheng for less than a second before moving to Bai Liu's face, which the Golden Dawn captain scrutinized intently, as if he was ready to see a hole in it with his eyes.

"Wow." Bai Liu smiles, "This Georgia captain looks like he knows me."

Tang Er 打神色渐凝："...... shouldn't be, if he really remembers what [you] did, he'll just attack now."

"Georgia is a very clean shot."

"So why does this Georgia captain keep staring at me?" Bai Liu squints upward at Tang Er, "It's not love at first sight, is it?"

Tang Er hit can't help but blurt out, "It's not impossible, he only met you once at first and ran away with you ......."

Bai Liu: "......"

But fortunately Georgia didn't watch Bai Liu for too long, and when Armand returned to his side, Georgia withdrew his gaze and calmly continued to lead the group forward as if he had never seen Bai Liu before.

Panicked by the wind, the onlookers instead quickly cheered and screamed - interpreting the accident they had just witnessed as a dueling performance.

And the clear winner of this dueling show was Armand, which means that the bright-looking newcomer has equally impressive fighting qualities, which has Golden Dawn supporters quite excited.

The cheers were at their peak as the team, with its shiny gold base color, walked past Bai Liu and the others as if it were a provocation.

Mu Sicheng is even more grumpy: "Damn, that means my skills are banned, have the ability to enter the game to fight one on one ......"

"Okay." Bai Liu lightly swept him a glance, "You've already given them such a good publicity effect today, don't send them away, train."

"...... Yes." Mu Sicheng clenches his fists in a smothering grip, realizing he's been impulsive, and his fingers change from monkey's paws back to human form, silent.

They headed back toward the entrance of the boarding house, to begin the next round of training.

------

Two games later, Liu Jiayi's system panel popped up with a message after he crawled out of the swamp and the poisonous fog:

[System alert: Player Liu Jiayi has reached the requirement of the number of games to register for the league, do you want to register?

Liu Jiayi glanced up at Bai Liu and took a deep breath at his sure look.

[OK.]

[Enrollment Guild Choice: Killer Sequence, King's Guild ...... Wandering Circus ......]

Liu Jiayi's eyes pause for a moment on the crown symbol of the King's Guild before choosing the Wandering Circus.

[System Alert: You have become one of the enrolled players in the (Wandering Circus) Guild League, please find the other four teammates as soon as possible ......]

The moment Liu Jiayi confirmed her entry, a photo of her appeared at the end of the announcement for the popularity poll - a photo taken from an odd angle, with Liu Jiayi, her veil half blown up by the wind, standing in front of some behemoth and using poison, her movements ruthless and dry, the corners of her mouth childishly upturned in a playful and innocent manner.

It was a default enrollment photo, set up for her beforehand by the King's Guild.

The photo couldn't have been a screenshot taken from a small TV because it was too close to her to be a small TV's view, it was clearly a surreptitious shot of her in the middle of combat taken by someone very close to her.

Liu Jiayi stared at the photo in a stunned silence - this shooting angle, she remembered that the person who stood behind her to give her defense in that game was ...... Heart.

After she kills the big monster coming down, Heart looks at her with a smile on his face and without hesitation draws a playing card and raises his hand to attack her, cutting the veil of Liu Jiayi who was caught off-guard right off, and rubbing a bloody scar on the side of her face.

She looked up at Heart in shock, not really understanding why she was doing this.

Heart crouched down to look at her levelly and told her with a smile, "That's the first lesson I'll teach you about the league, don't trust your teammate so easily, even if she's standing behind you."

Heart lowered her brimming eyes and whispered, "--you don't know when your teammates around you are going to go crazy, and they'll turn on you and attack you."

"Teammates aren't reliable, and in a game, the only thing you can trust as a tactician is yourself, and the absolute control you have over your teammates - so that even if they go crazy, they're just weapons under you."

Liu Jiayi paused for a moment, replaced the photo, and looked up as he walked out of the Den exit.

Liu Jiayi's message to sign up for the league scrolled across the system panel's popularity bulletin board, while at the same time, her system panel suddenly bloomed with announcement fireworks.

[System Alert: Player Liu Jiayi has joined the Wandering Circus Warriors!

[System Announcement: Player Liu Jiayi has permanently withdrawn from the King's Guild Battle Team!

Announcement fireworks are obviously bought by the King's Guild, bought the whole area notification, Liu Jiayi in the flurry of falling electronic fireworks debris, saw the boarding exit not far away from standing straight up a certain old acquaintance.

Qi Yifang's eyes were red as he held the two boxes, and he seemed to have cried a lot, but in front of Liu Jiayi, he barely managed to hold on to his brotherly appearance, and looked at Liu Jiayi, who had just logged out of the game, with a smile as if he had been crying:

"Congratulations to the Little Witches for playing in the league!"

Liu Jiayi's footsteps stopped as he walked out.

Behind her, Bai Liu gently pushed her forward, "Go on, say goodbye to him properly."

Liu Jiayi slowly walked up to Qi Yifang, who seemed very happy to see her and tried to grin, but when he did, his tears flowed down, and he couldn't stop crying.

"Oooh Jiayi, you're awesome, I'm so happy to see it ......"

Qi Yifang crouched down with tears in her eyes and sniffled twice, "I, I joined the official battle team Jiayi."

Liu Jiayi gave him a look, "Isn't this great?"

"It's not good at all, oooh."

"What if we win?" Qi Yifang cried so hard that snot bubbles came out of her nose, "The Empress said she wouldn't show you any mercy."

Liu Jiayi couldn't help but laugh as she clutched her chest and raised her chin as she grunted, "Don't underestimate my new team, it's not certain who will win!"

"Don't cry!" Liu Jiayi stopped with a headache, "Crying like this, aren't you ashamed?"

Qi Yifang handed the box to Liu Jiayi and relayed Empress Heart's words to her, sobbing in her own defense: "It was supposed to be the guild's new head of information who came to deliver something to you, but he swiped the system message on the way there that you were in the league, and couldn't take it in for a moment."

"He's crying worse than I am, and the other reserves are all crying in their dorms right now, and I'm the only one with a little control over myself, so I've been told to come and bring you something."

Liu Jiayi took the two boxes in silence, and then Qi Yifang pulled out a pair of skates from somewhere and handed them to Liu Jiayi.

It's a very pink pair of skates with a doll and a little witch holding hands clumsily painted on one side - both of which were obviously added later.

Seeing this pair of skates, Liu Jiayi raised his head in surprise, "[Super Speed Ice Skates]? Where did you guys get this, I remember that Level 3 copies that can swipe out this prop haven't appeared for a long time."

"There are copies of this in the game pool, but it's hard to collect all the monster books to brush out this prop." Qi Yifang said pathetically, "A group of us brushed for more than half a month before we could brush out a pair, Liu Ji brushed it out, he was injured in order to brush this, but it is also considered a blessing because of the disaster, in the process of brushing this book has improved a lot, so that we can be selected as the official battle team."

The smile on Liu Jiayi's face faded.

Qi Yifang went on to say, "We are going to give you as a gift when you enter the league, you can't move fast, with these shoes you can run faster and not get injured easily."

"Now you're in the league." Qi Yifang pushed the props in front of Liu Jiayi, eyeing her, "Take it."

Liu Jiayi looked at him quietly, then spoke calmly, "Half a month ago I was a member of the King's Guild, but now I'm not anymore, and I'm not in the league for you guys, so I'm not ...... going to ask for this stuff." ...... want it.

"But we are!!!" Qi Yifang's eyes were streaming with tears as he half-kneeled to the ground and took a hard step forward to hug Liu Jiayi, bawling, "We wanted to get into the battle team because we wanted to protect you!"

Liu Jiayi's breath hitched slightly.

Qi Yifang choked out, "No matter whose team you choose to join, we want you to be safe."

"--The Empress said that the tournament was cruel and fair, and she said that you were a very intelligent person, and that you could see that we were deliberately letting the water out of the water and letting you off the hook in the arena in order to keep you alive, and that this would in turn interfere with your strengths in play, and make you even more dangerous in the tournament, because you would also be going soft on us, and influencing your own decisions."

Liu Jiayi's fingers were curled and clenched.

Qi Yifang closed her eyes, "We're not as smart as you, and we didn't know what to do, and after thinking about it for a long time, we thought this was the only way."

His eyes snapped open and he hugged Liu Jiayi tightly in his arms : "We swear to deal with you with all our might, Jiayi, you must deal with us with all your might as well, and if you find out that we are coming after you, run!"

"Run as far away as you can! Make it so we can't catch up with all our might! Run until the game is over!"

"Must live!"

Liu Jiayi laughed softly, her eyes seemed to have tears in them, she reached out and hugged Qi Yifang back generously, "Don't talk about me as if I'm a wimp."

"Who's going to run, we're going to win!"

Qi Yifang loosened his grip, he raised his hand and wiped the tears from his eyes, broke into a smile and said with a determined gaze, "So are we!"

Bai Liu watches as Liu Jiayi returns with two boxes and a pair of skates.

Behind her, Qi Yifang wipes away her tears and turns to leave, but doesn't seem to get very far before she runs and bursts into tears.

Liu Jiayi walking, can not help but run up, she jumped into the arms of Bai Liu, buried her face in, do not want to let others see the tears on her face.

"Bai Liu, are we really ...... going to win?" She hugged Bai Liu's waist and asked softly.

Bai Liu stroked her head, "It will be won."

Liu Jiayi's voice grew softer, "And the price of winning, what is it?"

Bai Liu looked away from Qi Yifang's back, "You don't need to pay any price, because you have already paid me."

"The price of victory will be paid by me alone."

In the system's popularity voting panel, the number [0] under Liu Jiayi's poster suddenly changed.

[League player Liu Jiayi gets one vote.]

[League player Liu Jiayi has qualified for the pool.]]
