CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 412: WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

The match between Rag Queen and Xiaoqing ended with an unexpected result. For a moment, the audience who were cleaning up the scene didn’t react.

Fast!

Too fast!

Really too fast!

In the blink of an eye, the strong Xiaoqing was defeated by Rag Queen with a single blade... Her speed, compared to Little Shengsheng, was exceptional. Everyone couldn’t help but recall the duel between Little Shengsheng and Rag Queen: also an antique mech and a blade... Rag Queen’s antique mech could withstand two slashes from Little Shengsheng!

But Xiaoqing, just one slash!

One slash...

Is Xiaoqing weak?

No!

85% of the audience on site didn’t think Xiaoqing was weak, many even wondered how many slashes they could withstand if they were in Xiaoqing’s place. Probably couldn’t withstand even half a slash...

So—

It’s not that Xiaoqing is weak, it’s that Rag Queen is too strong.

The swords and blades... equipped on the mech, although called cold weapons, are quite different from ordinary metal products. They can be used both as cold weapons and energy weapons due to their special material and the energy conversion device installed inside, thus they have dual purposes. Cold weapons are mainly used for close combat fighting.

However, to directly slash the mech into two halves with such weapons is very difficult. This not only requires strong Physical Strength and spiritual power, but also tremendous explosive power, etc. Therefore, the terrifying combat ability of Little Shengsheng and Rag Queen is really surprising... even if they only slashed an antique mech...

No matter how the audience feels, Ji You doesn’t care; she’s only responsible for fighting and showing off, and doesn’t bother with the aftermath.

After winning beautifully, Ji You felt very good, and then, she checked the score given by the system:

Rag Queen: [Overall score 9.8, Strength...]

Xiaoqing: [Overall score 7.5, Strength...]

Huh?

That’s a high score.

Ji You felt even better.

But then, when she saw her own consumption, her eyes widened, and her mood instantly plummeted:

What?

Just running a few times with the Blade and it... it cost 150 points?

What the hell?

Highway robbery?

Ji You didn’t believe it, and quickly looked up the detailed consumption reports, only then she realized where the specific costs went. It turns out the power source of Mechanical Blade uses the latest storm propulsion nuclear reactor, which stores a lot of energy but also consumes a lot, and a little mismatch or excessive force can easily lead to severe consumption...

Although Ji You just fought one battle, she didn’t hold back against Xiaoqing and turned the thruster to its maximum speed, and this mere few seconds consumed a huge amount of energy...

Blade isn’t like an antique mech, used and then discarded. The energy Ji You consumed must be replenished, and now, she had to spend 150 points to fully recharge the Blade’s energy.

Ji You, with trembling hands, managed to fully recharge the energy.

Damn it!

This...

This is a Gold Swallowing Beast!

Running this gold-swallowing beast mech is pointless...

Ji You almost couldn’t resist selling the Blade back to the store, but she held back firmly.

"Poverty..."

"It’s real poverty."

"If I really use this mech to fight in the future, I can’t mess around anymore, I have to be more careful," Ji You sighed and decided to continue competing.

At this moment, a friend request suddenly came in, Ji You looked and laughed.

It was Xiaoqing.

Shen Changqing, this honest kid, could it be that he lost so badly to himself that he couldn’t figure it out, so he came to me for answers?

Hehe...

Ji You smiled and didn’t hesitate to reject.

Yes!

That’s right!

Rejected.

Meanwhile, Shen Changqing saw the rejection notice and frowned slightly.

Next to him, Zhou Qiyuan said, "She rejected you?"

Shen Changqing nodded: "Yeah."

Zhou Qiyuan said, "This guy, isn’t she being too arrogant?"

Yue Qiguang nonchalantly said, "Why look for her? Can’t we find a better teammate?"

Shen Changqing fell silent for a moment and said, "I think she’s quite suitable. If she joined, our chances of making it to the finals would be higher."

Zhou Qiyuan stroked his chin and said, "Why don’t you tell her directly that we want to invite her to join the team competition?"

Shen Changqing said, "I’ll try."

Then, Shen Changqing explained the purpose of the friend request and patiently waited...

On this end—

Ji You saw it and laughed even more: "These guys actually want me to join their team competition? Are they out of their minds?"

Saying this, Ji You couldn’t help but recall the start of the online competition when these guys were discussing the match in the cafeteria. She desperately wanted to join, but they ruthlessly rejected her one by one, making her laugh inwardly.

Hahaha...

What goes around comes around.

If these guys knew that the Rag Queen they were eagerly inviting was actually her, I wonder if their eyeballs would pop out of shock?

Thinking of that scene, Ji You couldn’t help but slap the table and burst out laughing.

So—

Ji You did accept Xiaoqing’s friend request, but sent a message directly: [Not interested.]

Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, and Zhou Qiyuan, upon seeing the reply from the Rag Queen, their pupils shrank instantly. Yue Qiguang screamed, "Ahhh!!! How dare she reject our great team! What a lack of vision! Wait till dad challenges her!"

His words had barely settled when Zhou Qiyuan stopped him, "Yue Qiguang, don’t mess around. You’ve already lost two matches to Little Shengsheng today. If you lose again, you’ll have no chance left. Leave the third challenge to someone else."

Yue Qiguang angrily said, "Dad lose?"

As he said this, the others looked at him, the meaning clear.

Yue Qiguang: "..."

Yue Qiguang shouted, "Impossible! Dad will definitely beat her."

Shen Changqing shook his head, "If she was using an antique mech, it wouldn’t be strange for you to win, but she’s switched to the Blade now, and I don’t think you stand a chance at the moment."

Yue Qiguang rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don’t believe it? Just watch."

Zhou Qiyuan shook his head and told Shen Changqing, "Ignore him. Let him be eliminated. Conveniently, we won’t have a cheerleader during our match, and this idiot has a loud voice, perfect for a cheering squad."

Yue Qiguang: "..."

...

After Ji You painfully replenished her energy and then again rejected Shen Changqing and others’ invitation, she felt quite happy and started looking for her next fighting opponent.

Who could it be?

Thinking of Little Shengsheng’s glorious record of single-handedly challenging the top 50 of the ranking list, Ji You touched her chin, why not—try it herself?

Thought and done.

Ji You immediately started attacking from the 98th position.

Why not start from the first? Of course, she would first challenge the last 50 of the top 100.
