"The winner of this arena match is Light Chasing Garden | Abyssal White Flower!"
The host announced the victory of the second battle. According to the best-of-five format, if Light Chasing Garden wins the next match, the crown of the bounty match will belong to them.
A wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the other half of the audience, with countless people raising support signs bearing the nas of the Light Chasing Garden mbers. Those among the crowd who were fans of the 'Heterogeneous Front' team showed disappointnt, but they soon regained their spirits by taking off the 'Heterogeneous Front' team jerseys to reveal ones with 'Light Chasing Garden' in bold, cheering even more fervently.
"Light Chasing Garden! Light Chasing Garden! Light Chasing Garden!"
"So it was you guys yelling the loudest just now, huh?"
Faced with doubts, one person righteously replied:
"We ca to enjoy the atmosphere of the match. We cheer for whichever team plays well. What's wrong with that?"
"Exactly, because our favorite team lost, there's no need to get all worked up and ruin our good mood for the day, right?"
Another nodded in agreent, then ford a gaphone with his hand and shouted louder.
"Light Chasing Garden!"
The host's voice echoed in the air.
The sound waves from the audience of tens of thousands were like ocean waves, one after another, while the quiet atmosphere in the lounge stood in sharp contrast.
As the beam of light appeared, Angelina returned, Bai Youyou nodded and was about to get up with her heavy hamr when Xu Xiaoyou shook her head, signaling the girl to sit down.
Bai Youyou was puzzled: "They've already lost two rounds, and in the next one, Heterogeneous Front will probably send a Support Position or Klosolan himself. Whoever it is, I can handle it. Just leave it to ."
"Precisely because of that, you shouldn't go. If we win the third round, that bounty match so people have been anticipating for so long would be in vain, wouldn't it?" Xu Xiaoyou smiled, "Rember, the main purpose of this bounty match is for the show."
"Currently, the outside world doesn't know much about Light Chasing Garden's strength, and we've just all upgraded to the Fourth Tier, so of course, we have to put on a good show to make so people weigh the cost of provoking us."
"So, for the next round, are you planning to...?" Bai Youyou roughly understood what the girl ant.
"First, how about we let our Enhancer Miss take the stage?" Xu Xiaoyou looked at Tang Xin.
"So, you all assu I'm going to lose?" Tang Xin showed no expression.
"Of course not." Xu Xiaoyou began her persuasion, "Think carefully, my dear Little Blue Bird, I know winning the match for you isn't hard, but regardless, it's much more reasonable for the Enhancer to lose a match than any of the other four positions, isn't it?"
Tang Xin raised her hand to signal to stop.
"Saying nice words is useless; I know your intentions better than anyone."
"Then I'm getting prepared to go on stage."
With that, Tang Xin waved in front of her, transforming into a beam of light and disappearing from the lounge, heading to the player's preparation area.
"Don't forget what I said." Xu Xiaoyou casually reminded her.
"Will she do it?" Bai Youyou asked, looking at the departing figure of the girl.
"Probably?" Xu Xiaoyou answered.
Currently, it's halfti, and there's still ten minutes until the next match starts. Xu Xiaoyou brought a cup of lemon green tea to Angelina's side, who raised an eyebrow and sighed, accepting the tea from her hand.
The Dawn Society suggested Angelina avoid consuming alcohol in the Oasis to ensure consciousness stability and prevent excessive entropic change that could lead to a loss of control. They recomnded drinks containing tea polyphenols and caffeine, which was obviously torturous for Angelina, who already endured enough without alcohol, and now had to drink more tea and coffee, flavors she detested.
For the past six months, Xu Xiaoyou brought her tea almost every day, and if she resisted, it would be Tang Xin bringing her tea for the next few days...
"I added honey and three sugar cubes." Xu Xiaoyou said.
Looking at the floating lemon slices, Angelina fell into deep thought.
"You noticed sothing was wrong long ago, didn't you?" Angelina suddenly said. "Regarding my reality issue."
Xu Xiaoyou was slightly taken aback; it was the first ti since her entropic change that the other had voluntarily brought up this topic.
"I'm not a god in the sky; how could I foresee everything?" Xu Xiaoyou leaned against Angelina. "Maybe a little."
She recalled things Angelina had said during that 'formal dinner.' The other probably noticed the entropic change in her real body and couldn't log out, but because it was during the league season, she didn't ntion it. By the ti the entropic change fully erupted, everything was too late.
"I don't know what my reality is like now. Am I just a shrinking skeleton?" Angelina said offhand, clutching her head.
"That's not funny, Anya." Xu Xiaoyou said. "They're worried about you."
"Who, worried about ?" Angelina raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Why?"
"Everyone is, Youyou is researching how to let people with entropic changes detach their consciousness from the Oasis, Rice Wine sends letters every week asking about your situation..."
"Rice Wine? I thought she always had a poor impression of ."
"We've been together for more than half a year." Xu Xiaoyou said. "If any of them were to disappear one day, would you go search for them?"
"Does that include you?" Angelina asked.
"No."
"I would."
"And if it does?"
"I would."
"Then there you go." Xu Xiaoyou said.
"But I can't save them." Angelina shrugged, "I'm lying in a glass coffin now, and I might lose control any mont. Maybe in a few days, you won't see anymore."
"You won't, I promise." Xu Xiaoyou said.
"Promise what?"
"When you disappear, no matter where you go, I'll definitely find you."
Angelina looked into Xu Xiaoyou's serious, deadpan eyes, clearly a bit overwheld by her 'sincere' pledge.
"The precondition is you have to look for when I disappear." Xu Xiaoyou added.
"So you're insuring yourself."
After a brief silence, Xu Xiaoyou suddenly asked a serious question.
"Anya, where do you think people go after they die?"
"Where do people go after they die? Heaven, Hell, maybe nowhere at all. Dead is dead, just nothingness, I don't care."
"Can you guarantee that the world after death can be more aningful than now every day?" Xu Xiaoyou asked.
Angelina froze, unusually not responding with sarcasm, just falling into deep silence.
"Can you guarantee that the world after death can hold expectations for tomorrow?"
"Alright, stop saying those words. I don't plan on dying." Angelina interrupted Xu Xiaoyou.
"If Tang Xin knew you talked to about this, she definitely wouldn't let us off the hook."
