Chapter 350 - 173: Mass Taunt
Listening to that irritating voice in my ears, watching the huge bright red words unique to the captain, everyone fell silent.
So, Cui Hu and his group saw those junior students from Xilena First Affiliated School with incredibly stiff expressions at a subtle moment, like they were hit by the acupuncture point trick from martial arts novels.
Picking... fresh... little daisies? The group quietly glanced over at Cui Hu’s team, and inappropriate images popped up in their minds... Ahem, these scenes aren’t suitable for children, better not to keep thinking about it. The keenly perceptive members of Cui Hu’s team felt a strange chill down their spines, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"Pfft—" A foodie teammate, sneaking a taste of some delicacy and juice, accidentally sprayed it all over the person next to them.
"Cough cough cough—" Some were a bit luckier, and simply choked on their own saliva, causing no harm to the innocent.
Hiding towards the rear and center of the group, Gu Ningyi frowned, quickly typing something in, and smoothly slipped into the team group created by Su Jiameng. Seeing the name of the temporary team, his brow twitched with amusement.
Of course, when he saw Su Jiameng’s grand statement, he suddenly felt it wasn’t without reason that she could beat so many opponents... Normal people and little bears just aren’t on the same wavelength, picking a fight with them usually ends poorly.
Unaware of what was happening, Cui Hu’s teammates looked at the K3 group as if they were morons.
Random coughing and spraying saliva seemed so dumb, foolish, and simple-minded. If Xilena’s reserve cadets were like this, it’s quite worrying. Ahem, it seems like the caliber of Xilena will take a nosedive in the coming years...
"Oh wow, you guys are all here already..." Su Jiameng’s entrance was rather unremarkable, yet visually impactful. She appeared with a pack of sweet-scented crumbly cakes in one arm and a cup of fizzy fruit juice in the other. "Haven’t you guys had breakfast? Why’s everyone staring at me like that?"
Being stared at by over two thousand people, even if one has thick skin, it can’t handle such attention... She would get shy, okay!
"Cough— Xiao Meng brings all these, doesn’t that mean you haven’t had breakfast?" Xu Na snapped back, twitching at the corners of her mouth, "Haven’t you forgotten that eating in virtual networks doesn’t increase stamina? You should’ve eaten before logging in..."
"Nope, I’ve had breakfast, these are for lunch..." Su Jiameng shook the juice in her hand, her face donning an unruly smile that suddenly took on a different hue, her eyes sharply focused on Cui Hu’s team, "Hehe, they’re also appetizers before the victory feast!"
Cui Hu lowered his arms he had crossed in front of his chest, looking down at Su Jiameng thanks to his height advantage, and suddenly laughed, "I’m afraid for you they won’t be pre-feast appetizers but consolation offerings for your failure... I’ve seen plenty of cocky people, but a young lady as arrogant as this is a rarity..."
Su Jiameng tilted her head, the motion was very cute, but what her eyes conveyed was quite the opposite. She smoothly said, "Hehe, now that you’ve seen, I think you can die without regrets! Whether win or lose, you’ll know after the match."
Finishing that, she ignored Cui Hu whose face darkened from her provocation, turning to her temporary team buddies, "Hmm, there’s a good money-making opportunity now; before logging in, I saw the betting odds on our team, seems like we can place bets, our odds have reached 34.6, there’s probably room for it to go even higher..."
Everyone fell silent, shifting their gaze of "admiration and understanding" to K3. This guy really knew this unruly girl well. Gu Ningxuan, however, seemed a bit displeased; K3’s deep understanding of Su Jiameng made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
"The odds have already climbed this high, why is this young lady so happy?" Standing on a nearby railing next to Cui Hu was a woman with a bun hairstyle, her smile seemingly innocent, but Augustus’s students knew well enough not to mess with her.
"It means a huge unexpected profit is destined to come in, why not be happy?" Su Jiameng stared directly at her, the conviction of her words making Augustus’s people very uncomfortable. With continuous provocation, Su Jiameng had activated her taunt mode.
"If that’s the case, let’s let the competition result prove who’s right or wrong." Cui Hu adjusted the glasses sitting on his nose, his handsome face already calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by Su Jiameng’s words, "Hope you’ll have the money to pay your gambling debts by then..."
Cui Hu’s last sentence was plain and direct provocation and sarcasm! However, Su Jiameng wasn’t fazed, she just smiled and chose to ignore it. Her gaze shifted to the spectator count, and she suddenly beamed broadly.
Didn’t expect Cui Hu and his buddies’ reputations to sell this well, huh? With three minutes to go before the official start, the audience surging in to watch had exploded, implying that post-match earnings would be staggering!
"Head on in... let me see you all—" Su Jiameng wiped off her playful look, putting on a serious face, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, her voice carrying an indescribable arrogance, "see how long you can last under my hands!"
One team captain taunts, so the other should step up to regain face, yet Cui Hu stayed silent; it was another person who spoke. Seeing the opponent instantly made Su Jiameng feel a surge of crisis.
Gu Ningyi walked steadily to Su Jiameng, and even without speaking, the spiritual aura he exuded was oppressive! (To be continued.
