However, the challenge from the Kaslana sisters did put some pressure on the champion Yan Qing.
If before Yan Qing was only worried that he would not do well and that his victory would not be beautiful enough to damage Luofu's image, now he has begun to worry that he will lose.
It is true that anyone with experience can see that the Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao combination has been holding back from the beginning to the end and has not given their full strength, but no one can guess how much this "full strength" is.
So far, only the duel with Poteo had given a glimpse of the outline. And that outline was undoubtedly just the tip of the iceberg emerging from the sea...
Just as the audience began to discuss the upcoming challenge match between Zongheng Xinghai Yuyumao and Luofu's defending swordsman Yanqing, Luca in another arena also received Yinzhi's recognition and won his resurrection match.
As Luca's coach, Xing was planning to celebrate Luca's return to the game, but was interrupted by a message sent by Portio.
Portio lost to Kiana and Bianca in the promotion match. Xing had already guessed this result when she happened to glance at the duel poster while helping Luca prepare for the resurrection match, so she was not surprised at all.
However, Portio said he wanted to invite Luca for a cup of tea to apologize for what happened in the qualifying match, which surprised Xing a little.
The atmosphere between the two men was tense, and Xing even thought it was a bit too much. But Poteo refused to give in and continued to push Luca, until he was psychologically traumatized.
Although Xing knew that Poteo probably saw the confusion in Luca's heart, he used his usual way to slap Luca hard to make him sober up, but the result was that he used too much force and hit Luca directly to autism.
I thought this Cowboy Bebop character was going to stick to the idea of being strict with men, but I didn't expect her to apologize anyway.
Xing pondered the situation and quickly understood the reason. It wasn't that complicated. It was simply that Poteo had been eliminated by Bianca, leaving him with no reason to remain on the Luofu Immortal Boat. So, before setting off, he settled these favors.
This cowboy from Bebop is indeed not as fierce and wild as he appears on the outside, but his softness and enthusiasm have been transformed into boldness because of his vigorous and decisive style of doing things.
Ha, a man. Xing smiled slightly and suddenly thought of Wang Xuanqiao.
The store manager always seemed calm and relaxed, and I wondered if he had this side of him. Xing was inexplicably curious.
Luka had to wait until the next day after his resurrection match to re-enter the third round of the knockout rounds and promotions, so he had plenty of time to go to Jinren Lane for his appointment. Xing and Luka said something, and Luka went to the Jingfeng ship berth to play the Star Raft.
The main reason why Portio chose Jinren Lane was because there was a teahouse here that produced really strong tea, so strong that he praised it highly, and it was in no way inferior to the special drinks of Pinocchio.
It was precisely because of this flammable tea that Potio temporarily changed his preference on the Luofu Fairy Boat.
He first shook off the pursuit of the company security on the Jingfeng ship, and without making much noise, he easily arrived at the Du's Tea House in Jinren Lane. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered two cups of strong flaming tea.
After waiting for a while, Poteo saw Xing and Luca coming together.
"My dear, you came to have tea without even telling me in advance." Potio hurriedly asked the boss for another cup of tea that would not light.
"Since you asked me to help pass on the message, you should charge me an extra cup to moisten my throat." Xing sat down at the tea table as if it was a matter of course.
"Meow, that's true." Potio nodded. "Then, sister, just order whatever you want to drink. It's on me."
"Really? Then I'll call more people." Xing took out the terminal.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Potio was a little shocked. "Sister, you can't treat me as your precious patron."
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be willing to invite the people I call over." Xing smiled with narrowed eyes, "Besides, it never hurts to make more friends, right?"
"Alright, alright, if you keep talking like that I'm going to... what's that word, oh, I'm going to lose money."
After a while, Wang Xuanqiao brought Kiana and Bianca to Du's Tea House.
"So it's them. Sister, you are right. I really have to treat my precious one." Potio stood up and ordered another cup of flaming strong tea and two cups of non-flammable tea from the teahouse owner.
"Actually, Xing only called me." Wang Xuanqiao walked over. He asked Kiana and Bianca to sit together first, and then he prepared to find another seat.
However, Xing sat a little to the side to make enough space for Wang Xuanqiao, and Wang Xuanqiao sat next to her.
Kiana immediately stared at Xing, who seemed completely oblivious. Bianca, sitting next to her, clearly sensed the sudden change in her sister's mood. However, the change was gone just as quickly as it came, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Who is silently guarding this peace?
"Even though Xing said you're treating, I'll just foot the bill." Wang Xuanqiao coughed lightly and started the conversation. "If I'm not mistaken, you're ready to leave the Luofu Immortal Boat now, right?"
"That's right. Now that I've been eliminated by you, if I stay, I can't guarantee that I won't be tempted to do something to the company dogs."
Potio shrugged and drank the burning tea in his hand. Kiana was tempted by this and reached out to poke Wang Xuanqiao gently, blinking to indicate that she wanted to drink too.
Wang Xuanqiao ordered a drink for her as well, then said to Potiou, "Since Xing specifically called me over here, I'll ask you directly—would you like to apply for a membership card in my arcade?"
In fact, like Ginzhi, Poteo had the opportunity to be invited as early as the Pinocchio period. However, due to various misfortunes, he missed the opportunity to be invited. It can only be said that fate had never arrived.
What is even more regrettable is that even though these two people are now in the Luofu Fairy Boat, they still have not had the opportunity to meet Wang Xuanqiao and be invited.
It can only be said that the location where this guy will appear is uncertain. If Xing hadn't sent a message this time, Wang Xuanqiao estimated that Potio would still have no chance to go to the game hall.
"Game hall?" Portio put down his teacup and put his mechanical fingers on his metal arm to think.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Brother, I appreciate your kindness. But I'm no longer the number one genius in the Galaxy. I know you're definitely someone who doesn't care about the company, but I can't cause you any trouble because of my grudge with the company."
"Then I can't live as a human being anymore." Potio shook his head.
"It's okay. You don't have to worry about the company." Wang Xuanqiao smiled. "How about this? You might as well change your mindset. From now on, anyone walking in this galaxy with my membership card will be a friend."
"...his dear, why does it sound like that... genius club?" Poteo's expression was a little subtle. "But man, since you've said that, it would be ungrateful if I didn't agree. Okay, I'll do it."
Wang Xuanqiao stood up and brought Potio into the game hall at a speed that the tea shop owner could not react in time.
After the two of them left, Kiana suddenly moved and sat where Wang Xuanqiao had originally sat, next to Xing.
Xing looked at Kiana with a strange expression.
"Cheers?" She raised the tea in her hand.
"Cheers." Kiana also raised the newly served Fiery Strong Tea and clinked it lightly with Xing's.
In the game hall, Poteo found himself in a completely different place in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"My dear, it's really an arcade?" He originally thought that 'arcade' was some kind of jargon used to refer to the force to which Wang Xuanqiao belonged.
"Of course it's the game hall, and I'm the manager. Everyone basically calls me that." Wang Xuanqiao had already walked behind the counter and woke up the membership terminal.
"Wait...Manager?" Potio's eyes widened for a moment.
"My dear, so you are the store manager!?"
——The author has something to say——
As you can see, we have a new cover 233
In fact, old book friends should all know that our book will change the cover twice a month, once in the first half of the month and once in the second half of the month. Unless a new cover is rejected by the review, it is basically this frequency. As for what kind of picture will be chosen as the cover, of course it is the kind of good picture~
Therefore, every time the cover is changed, including those that were rejected by the review, the large pictures will be posted in the book group. Book lovers who have needs are welcome to join the book group to receive the pictures, and there is no need to "ask for heroes" in the book review area.
It's so funny. After so many months, I wonder if the passerby who asked about the cover of Mockingbird finally got the picture?
And finally, you can guess what game Poteo can solve. Personally, I think this is too easy to guess, and it is basically a clear answer.
By the way, I have too many games to play.
Volume 317: : This game was given by Potio
Wang Xuanqiao felt strange when hearing what Potio said.
For a geek who often plays games, there are many similar opening lines, such as: the famous V, the great hero of Eorzea, the great wasteland general, etc. However, this kind of opening line is usually followed by a task, which is completely a waste of money.
Of course, this is reasonable. If you ask someone for something, you must praise them to make them happy.
However, Potio had no intention of commissioning others. He would do whatever was needed by himself without bothering others.
"Hey, sweetheart. I thought 'Store Manager' was some special code name, but it really means what it says. Man, you're a big name at Pinocchio. It's a shame those cuties at the company and family didn't spread the video, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized you until now."
"It's just marketing for business." Wang Xuanqiao smiled and didn't care.
Such things are just empty reputations, which can be obtained by the strong with just a wave of their hands. If he cares about these things, his reputation in the samsara space is even greater than this, but what's the point?
Wang Xuanqiao entered Potio's information into the terminal and told him about the rules of the game hall membership.
Without much hesitation, Potio chose to unlock it.
In his heart, even if it was just a video game, it was a gift that belonged to him alone. The Sea Patrolman Potio was already alone, and the so-called system points were nothing more than a small fortune.
One day, when the cowboy who wandered the starry sea will be buried in a foreign land, can these points compare to a game that will remain in the library?
At that time, I must ask the store manager to tell the brothers and sisters who come later that this is something left for everyone by a cowboy named Poteo.
My dear, you must have fun!
Portio tidied himself up properly and showed what he thought was his most handsome side in front of the camera.
[Detected that the guest has applied for a membership card, unlocking the game based on the guest's characteristics——]
While this might be a bit of a stereotype, the games a cowboy unlocks are likely to be related to the Wild West. However, judging by Bottiou's own situation, perhaps he'd also like to rebuild the ranch he remembers.
Even if my relatives can no longer come back, at least... at least I can still sit on the grassland under the moonlight and play the melodies of the past.
[Game: "Red Dead Redemption 2" has been unlocked, please enjoy the experience. ]
Well, was that a correct guess? Wang Xuanqiao picked up the membership card that came out of the machine and placed it on the counter.
"Meow, this feels pretty good." Portio picked up the membership card, looked at himself on it, and with a flick of his finger, he put the card in the safest place.
Wang Xuanqiao then took a bottle of ice cola from the freezer and threw it at him.
"It's a free gift for signing up for the card. I'll drink it on the way. It lacks the bitterness of the malt juice, but the bubbles are still pretty good."
"Thanks, buddy." Potio took the Coke, waved his hand, and turned to leave the game hall.
Wang Xuanqiao did not follow them, but stayed to restock the freezers and shelves, and then returned to Du's Tea House.
Poteo had already left. He and Luca had already finished their conversation. If Xing hadn't suddenly called Wang Xuanqiao over, Poteo would have left the Luofu Fairy Boat by now.
As soon as he left, Luca finished the tea Poteo had offered him and returned to the Jingfeng ship to practice for the next round of competition. Only Xing, Kiana, and Bianca were left.
Xing and Kiana sat together at some point, drinking cup after cup of Fiery Strong Tea. Judging from the number of empty cups piled on the table, they seemed to be somewhat "tea-addicted".
When Bianca saw Wang Xuanqiao coming back, she immediately showed an expression of being saved.
"Manager, you're finally back!" Bianca quickly stood up from her seat.
"What's going on?" Wang Xuanqiao looked curiously at Kiana and Xing, who were still guzzling the Fiery Tea. "Are they competing in tea drinking?"
"Right...right!" Xing looked a little dazed, but thankfully her thoughts were focused. "Actually, this...is nothing. Back then, I once...tested a stronger tea for the boss. One sip! And I know math...right now!"
"What?" Kiana grabbed Xing and said, "Such a good thing...you don't recommend it to me?"
"I heard that educational institutions...are not allowed to sell it!"
"Hmph! Damn...educational institution!"
Well, they both seemed to be intoxicated. Wang Xuanqiao was a bit amused. Given their physical qualities, it would be difficult for them to get intoxicated. It was hard to say whether they hadn't deliberately indulged themselves.
It's no wonder Bianca was helpless. After all, this thing was tea, not something else. As long as this was used as an excuse, there was really no reason to stop it. If anyone was to blame anyone, they could only blame the Tianbo Bureau for not setting the rules well, and the Diheng Bureau for not being able to enforce the law well enough, allowing people to exploit the loopholes.
Wang Xuanqiao walked behind the two of them and patted them lightly on the head to help them wake up.
"Oh no, how could I drink so much at once!?" Kiana looked at the empty cup on the table and almost jumped up from her seat.
"Oh no, now I'm going to lose money." Xing couldn't help but touch his head.
"Next time you want to drink, remember to bring Bianca." Wang Xuanqiao saw through it but didn't say anything. He turned around and went to pay the bill with the boss, leaving Bianca looking at his back in confusion.
Kiana and Xing looked at each other, then looked at Bianca who had a confused look on her face, and suddenly burst out laughing together.
Bianca was now even more confused, but she didn't ask. She simply didn't return to her seat and stood there waiting to leave the teahouse with Wang Xuanqiao. Seeing this, Xing and Kiana quickly stood up and waited together.
The four of them then returned to the Yichen Inn. As soon as Bianca arrived, she pulled Kiana into her room to begin catching up on her study tasks. Suddenly, Wang Xuanqiao and Xing were left alone with nothing to do.
It was still early at this time, so the two of them decided to go back to the game hall and play games like they did yesterday.
It’s still the familiar GTA5 and the familiar task.
After a round of fun, Xing, who was enjoying the view from the passenger seat, mentioned the other two buckets. She planned to take the empty one back to the train to see if she could use the crafting machine to recycle it and craft it into iron ingots for MC. As for the full one, she wanted to find a place to pour it out and see if she could make a simple fountain.
Since he had nothing to do, Wang Xuanqiao accompanied Xing on a trip on the Starry Sky Train.
Ji Zi and Walter have already taken another spaceship to the Jinlunjia Deepening Area, while March Seven and Dan Heng are watching the game on the Jingfeng ship. At this time, there are only Pam and Liuying, who is responsible for guarding the train, in the train.
For Wang Xuanqiao, it was a long time since she'd seen Firefly again. Ever since the end of Pinocchio's Chaos of Order, her progress in the game had been left there, like a story cut short midway through. It was a bit of a shame.
Liuying felt a little embarrassed when Wang Xuanqiao mentioned this. She said it wasn't that she had forgotten, but she simply didn't have much free time right now. She probably had to wait for the train to depart from Luofu Xianzhou and change shifts before she could continue the Earth Defense Force story.
Pam warned Xing not to stuff weird things into the synthesizer, saying that the pixel iron bucket was not something the synthesizer could handle.
However, Xing insisted on giving it a try, and Pam had no choice but to say that if the synthesizer broke down, Xing would be responsible for fixing it.
Xing immediately agreed and stuffed the empty bucket into the synthesizer, muttering something about two ingots being worth it and three being a huge profit. But after a while, the synthesizer spit out the bucket intact, leaving no more ingots.
Apparently, the synthesis machine failed in its attempt to 'decompose the iron barrel'.
"See, Pa, I told you that the synthesizer can't eat anything, Pa!" Pam took the opportunity to lecture Xing. "Luckily, it didn't break, otherwise it would have been difficult to repair the synthesizer, Pa!"
The synthesiser route wasn't working, so Xing was left with the talented people in his friend circle. He took out his phone and took a few photos of the pixelated iron bucket, then sent them all to Black Tower.
