Chapter 398: Colorful Because of You (2/2)
”Oh? That’s interesting. Wanna bet who’ll be fighting the first match?”
”No, but I sure wish it’ll be us versus Candle Dragon, haha!”
”Hahaha!”
Beiming Xue could do nothing but shake her head at our arrogance.
……
Soon after, Xu Yang showed up and knocked on the door. ”Guys, the news conference is starting in ten minutes. Should we go down to the hall now and wait?”
”Yeah.”
The guys hurriedly straightened their attires, and the girls put on some last-minute makeup. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls weren’t going to embarrass themselves on an important occasion like this as a matter of course, although frankly it might be a bit of an overreaction. Our three girls could probably one-shot everyone in the scene even if they didn’t wear any makeup.
……
There were over forty tables in the entire hall. They were separated into participants’ seatings, officials’ seatings, and so on.
”Hello!”
A beautiful attendant walked up to us with a smile. ”I’m the Heavenblessed customer service manager of the Shanghai Region, Qin Xiaotian. You are Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, aren’t you?”
”We are.” I nodded and smiled back. ”I recognize you, Qin Xiaotian. You used to be a member of the Snow Moon workshop, and your ID is Summer Last Year, right?”
Qin Xiaotian smiled. ”Wow, I wasn’t expecting someone to still recognize me, much less the Little Heavenly King Falling Dust himself. It’s an honor!”
”How are Shusheng, Ling Xue, and Ling Yue doing?”
”They’re all doing fine, but they’re currently at New York headquarters to discuss the new patch.”
”I see.”
Qin Xiaotian asked, ”Lu Chen, you don’t mind sharing a seat with Snowy Cathaya, do you?”
”Sure, no problem!”
”Hehe, I knew it!”
Damn, Qian Xiaotian was 24 years old at most, and she was already a customer service manager of Heavenblessed. I was the same age as her, but I didn’t even have a proper job yet. I’m such a failure!
……
I sat down carelessly and waited. Soon after, Snowy Cathaya’s first-seed party walked up to us and took their seats. I recognized Shadow Chanel and Clear Perfume, but not the unfamiliar girl who looked to be around 25 years old. She sneaked glances at us again and again until she blurted, ”Is it just me, or do they look really familiar to you all?”
Su Qingqing burst into laughter before pointing a finger at me. ”Oh, you! This guy here is none other than Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls! Then we have From Water, Beiming Xue, Murong Mingyue, and finally Legendary Brave.”
”Oh, I see…”
”Qingqing, who is this?” I asked.
Sun Qingqing replied, ”Oh, she’s our new recruit and super bard, Beauty At First Sight! She has a secret class called Holy Bard!”
I nodded and shot Shadow Chanel a glance. ”Chanel also got a new hidden class, right? Dark Tongue Mage sounds like a powerful class.”
Shadow Chanel smiled dangerously. ”Don’t worry, you’ll know exactly how strong this class is in the final, or earlier.”
Purple Marquis simply smiled and said nothing at all.
I asked again, ”By the way, Qingqing, where’s Yiyi?”
”She was called away by a couple of employees.”
”Called away?”
”Mn.” Sun Qingqing nodded. ”Heavenblessed’s China region officials just signed an endorsement agreement with Yiyi, so she went away to do an advertisement. Don’t worry, I heard it’s only a couple of seconds long. She should be back in no time!”
I was stupefied. Eternal Moon Corporation actually entered an endorsement agreement with Lin Yixin? The power beautiful girls wielded in the world really was an incredible thing.
Lin Yixin returned pretty soon as Qingqing said she would, but for some reason she was red-faced and fuming when she dropped down at the seat next to mine. She glanced at me before exclaiming in surprise, ”OMG, why are you here at this table, Little Cheat?”
”That’s how they arranged us, duh. What’s wrong?”
I glanced at her hand. What was she holding… an advertisement script?
My curiosity was piqued instantly. ”How did the ad go, Yiyi?”
”Please don’t bring that up.”
”Why? What’s wrong?”
”See it yourself, but don’t you dare laugh…”
Lin Yixin put the script on the table, and a single glance later I burst into uncontrollable laughter—
Someone asked me a question: “What is a colorful life?”
“A life where the sun always rises in the morning, I think.”
Someone asked me a question, “Who would you like to marry in the future?”
“A Heavenblessed expert”, I answered.
A whole new world, the ultimate experience; feel free to try out all the things you couldn’t do in real life! Heavenblessed is colorful because of you!
……
”WTF! Who is the idiot who wrote this script?” I laughed so hard that I was literally in tears.
