CHAPTER 1476: CHAPTER 13: "BLUE JASMINE" XIANG KE’ER (PART 2)

"Is she a songstress too?" Ores tilted her head and asked Tilan.

"That’s right, she’s even our senior by several years." Tilan recalled.

"So dazzling~" Ores looked at Xiang Ke’er performing confidently on stage, feeling a bit envious.

Tilan’s attention wasn’t on the performance style but was instead curiously observing Xiang Ke’er and the energetic cheerleaders.

These people seem to have the shadow of ’Connectors’. The girl closed her eyes and slightly sensed that these performing cheerleaders seemed to have some mental connection with each other, allowing them to effortlessly perform perfectly synchronized dance moves, naturally without the need for complex training and coordination.

Radiant Star Alanna, she hadn’t contacted this once-known friend for a long time, wondering if this ’Connector’ technology now mastered by ’Green Jasmine’ came from the organization Radiant Star Alanna belonged to.

This technology, although having many issues, isn’t without hope. If someone continues to invest in research and improvement, it might just pave a new path.

It seems that some forces have already started to place their bets in this area.

As the large performance ball track flew by, the carnival-like atmosphere on the street gradually cooled down; only then did Tilan and Ores continue walking, revisiting the school’s streets and buying some things.

After Tilan graduated, the big sister figure in Golden Flame Flower Academy was the new generation’s ’Weilan Bubble’, followed by the newly discovered songstress three years ago, ’Blue Demon Moon Deer’ Cosnard, ’Shattered Silver Flute’ and Xiaoxio, and ’Night Owl’ Sara.

Among them, Merulu was in the fourth year, ’Blue Demon Moon Deer’ Cosnard and ’Night Owl’ Sara in the second year, ’Shattered Silver Flute’ and Xiaoxio just enrolled, all still at the Star Level songstress stage. The ’Green Jasmine’ Xiang Ke’er who just floated by is already at the Crescent Moon Level.

After the incidents in the Western Star Region, the Federation has now loosened control, and factions everywhere are vigorously supporting their faction’s songstress. The number of Moon Level songstresses has continuously broken through, and there are currently about 21 Moon Level songstresses in the Federation, making up nearly one-third of the total.

When a songstress from a faction is promoted, not only does it bring enormous influence, but it also incites ambitions among many dormant factions that no longer wish to remain subservient. The current Central Star Domain is indeed undercurrents surging, with all sides looking for opportunities.

The genetic compilation faction, previously always offering mild suggestions, has now also begun openly supporting ’Feng Erguo’ Shui Yanqing. During the years of Tilan’s disappearance, the military faction has also begun betting on the songstress ’Night Owl’ Sara, who had a humble background, a hard and cold style, a liking for firearms, and whose song style often leaned towards combat themes—fierce, rousing, and such.

Though young, Sara looked much more mature than her predecessor ’Weilan Bubble’ Merulu, with a rather androgynous style of dressing and a deeper voice. Her classic poster image nowadays is her standing in the rain, wearing a combat harness with an automatic rifle in one hand and her other arm bent in front, with an owl poised on it, wings spread wide and ready to strike.

Over these years, reflecting on the two major defeats, the military has received a significant allocation of resources. New weapons and tactical ideas have received funding and development, with the restoration of the Fifth and Sixth Fleets being a key priority.

Passing through the bustling Central Avenue of ’Harp Crown’, it was already 3 PM when Tilan and Ores arrived at a café by the street to sit and rest, drinking some cold beverages.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows beside them, the street could be seen crowded with pedestrians, bustling as during a festive period.

Tilan summarized the various things she had organized over these past few days, gradually teaching Ores about the current state of the Federal Upper Echelon, telling her how to see through and reject traps, warning her not to fall into them easily.

While they were talking, some students who had just watched the performance also walked onto the second floor of the café, and among them, the leading boy immediately spotted the two girls sitting in the corner, then walked over with joy.

"Hey, nobody’s sitting here, right?" He said briefly before sitting down casually beside the two, picking up the table menu, and attempting to order several drinks, which slightly surprised Tilan, as it had been a while since anyone dared to be so abrupt in front of her.

After ordering the drinks, seeing Tilan not speaking, the boy felt a bit proud, thinking the two were captivated by his charm, and began talking with a slightly frivolous tone.

"I’m a fan of Xiang Ke’er, you know. This large-scale performance event was sponsored by my family." He assumed this sentence would impress them.

"Hehe, surprised, I bet? I used to always have a large group of bodyguards following me, but now that I’m studying at ’Fengqing Academy’, it’s not such a hassle anymore." He finished and waved to the classmates at another table, prompting a wave of cheers and whistles. Judging by their attire, most were in colorful sportswear, with some also carrying automatically hovering soccer balls and magnetic hoverboards.

Originally Tilan wanted to leave, but after hearing him introduce himself, she wanted to understand what faction is actually supporting ’Green Jasmine’ behind the scenes.

"But I heard that songstresses are hard to approach, and most companies only have ordinary cooperative relationships with them." This was just to question the authenticity of the information he expressed.

Seeing the pretty and serene girl asking softly, he almost felt like floating.

"That’s what you outsiders don’t understand." He wagged his finger.

"That’s right, many songstresses merely cooperate with companies for promotion and product sales. But we’re different, we’ve always offered insights that can bring great innovation to humanity." He started to get more excited as he spoke.

"Oh, really?" Tilan found it somewhat amusing. Although he spoke grandly, it was clear he felt insecure inside when saying it.

To save face in front of the two beautiful girls, he had to continue revealing shocking information.

"It’s hard for you to understand, that special feeling, like being one with classmates and friends, indistinguishable..." His description was actually rather inadequate, but luckily Tilan had indeed seen Connectors using their abilities, so she quickly understood the device he was describing was probably used to assist in detecting and training Connectors.

"Such a thing must be very expensive."

"Yes." He continued to rave about the product’s advantages and so on, while Tilan listened and pondered how to handle this matter—whether to directly contact Alanna or seek someone else.

"...look, if you have it, you can connect with familiar friends, after multiple exercises, you can gradually synchronize thoughts and achieve amazing things."

"So, do you want to try it with me?" Saying that, he pulled out a set from his companions, where the training device had two bone conduction connections attached.

Holding this device, he approached Tilan with full enthusiasm, attempting to use his ’strong’ aura to subdue the gentle girl and perform exceedingly intimate actions.

However, well, the process was a bit strange. Despite being less than half a meter away, it felt like he walked a long way, and finally, when he stopped and looked, he was almost downstairs and out of the café.

At this moment, he realized what happened.

"Did you use Illusion Technique on me?" He was somewhat angry, feeling humiliated in front of so many friends.

Under the dual influence of fury and concern for face, he lunged at the two in the corner of the café, this sudden yelling and shouting also attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Seeing the boy charging at her, Tilan was curious why he was so bold as to use violence in a busy downtown area. However, to investigate clearly, it might take a long time.

After knowing that the faction behind ’Green Jasmine’ Xiang Ke’er was using this device to expand their fan base, Tilan no longer had the mood to stay here. As the boy lunged, she stood and slightly moved aside, watching him stumbling to the ground. Despite having the Sequence 4 panel power, he clearly lacked combat experience.

After tumbling on the ground, he swiftly stood up, feeling both ashamed and furious, finally beginning to curse, and this vulgar language reminded Tilan of the times living in the underground city.

The person’s growth environment wasn’t good, huh? This might be caused by the sudden wealth of the family.

It seems that the current Central Star Domain is quite vibrant.
