62 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

Faced with this supernatural event, even the official broadcasting team at Youlan Academy was baffled, unable to pinpoint the cause. Not until new viewers in the live stream began to criticize Xiao Kui did some people start to piece together the truth... Xiao Kui, a dexterous member of Baifeng Academy's main team, unexpectedly leveraged the popularity and traffic of Ten Titans' Aurora to attract viewers to Youlan Academy's public showcase match...!!! This was indeed the ultimate madness... Meanwhile, under the lens of the live broadcast, the team members in Youlan Academy's training room were oblivious to the unexpected situation outside. They were fully concentrated, eagerly awaiting the start of the match, mentally running through their strategies over and over again. Standing at the entrance with her bright red hair, the director of Youlan Academy looked eagerly at her small-statured daughter, Chi Yan. "Daughter, spill the beans on your newly awakened system. Is it a lottery system, a sign-in system, or perhaps the latest trendy beast simulator system?" "You said you were sure to beat Qingliu Academy, right? The match is about to start. What's your secret weapon?" "......" "......" "Old geezer, can you read less web novels when you’ve got nothing to do?” Chi Yan's mouth twitched violently at these words. Just because she mentioned having a surefire way to win, her mother immediately jumped to conclusions about it being some kind of system. If she had really awakened a simulator system, the first simulation would be to foresee how Youlan Academy might be doomed in the future!! “So, what's the deal? Can’t you just give me a hint?” “Are you planning some kind of revenge on me?” “Is ruining Youlan Academy’s reputation your goal? Remember your priorities, my dear daughter. As long as you win this match, I'll serve you for the rest of my life, even returning to my old job to earn resources for you!” “Just go away!!!” Embarrassed and flushed, Chi Yan reprimanded her shameless and unscrupulous mother, then took several deep breaths to calm herself down. It took her a while to steady her emotions. "I don’t have any fancy system you babbled about." "I just invited an ally who never loses..." With Chi Yan's calm words, the training room door, under the keen observation of countless eyes and live cameras, swung open quietly. Then, to the delight of the nearly 100,000 viewers in the Youlan Academy's live stream, under the excited gaze of Xiao Kui and Forever Sixteen, a familiar face peeked through—a big-eyed girl with her hair styled into large, golden buns, like a cautious bunny. "Am I late, my dear?" --- --- --- [Please vote for the monthly poll, everyone. I've been updating for five consecutive days!!] "Am I late, my dear?" Under the eager eyes of many, the big-eyed girl with golden buns carefully peeked out after opening the training room door. At this moment, seeing the entry of Lian Xing on the live broadcast, both Xiao Kui and Forever Sixteen were thrilled. For Forever Sixteen, as long as the most powerful Moonlight Bunny could appear in this situation, it meant Youlan Academy’s upper management knew her strength and would surely let her compete in the academy league to ultimately seize the throne of the Ten Titans!!! In a previous co-op quest, Forever Sixteen had a contribution rate of less than 1% and was deemed idle, failing to make the leaderboard alongside the most powerful Moonlight Bunny. But even if she made the list, she would never leak the line-up of the most powerful Moonlight Bunny. After all, this was the most promising batch for Youlan Academy to break into the top ten since its founding!!! Meanwhile, Xiao Kui’s excitement soared. She couldn't believe her luck today, stumbling upon the debut live stream of the most powerful Moonlight Bunny. Now, just by seeing her line-up, the audience would understand the reason behind her frenzy...? The truth would soon emerge!!! "......" "......" "You’re not late at all. There's still 3 minutes before it starts~~~" As Lian Xing arrived, Chi Yan promptly put on a fawning smile that nearly left the Youlan Academy director dumbfounded. She had never seen this expression from her daughter. Even with the former Winter Lacquer captain, Chi Yan had always maintained a defiant attitude. As for this golden-bunned girl in front of her... Lian Xing, ranked 11th among newcomers, mainly battles with a Mid-tier Moon Drive beast... Despite being a highly ranked potential new student, the Youlan Academy director remembered Lian Xing's identity well. But just a Mid-tier Moon Drive? And this was Chi Yan’s guaranteed win strategy!? Ignoring the director’s skeptical look, Chi Yan sidled up to Lian Xing, covering her mouth to whisper quietly. "Lian Xing, as we discussed online, I’ll give you five high-tier crystals if you win this match!" "Don’t worry, dear, there's no chance of losing~~~" Lian Xing responded nonchalantly with a breezy smile. Meanwhile, seeing the golden-bunned girl enter Youlan Academy’s training room, lively discussions erupted in the live stream channel. "Ah, the reinforcement is actually Lian Xing! I knew tuning in to this stream would be worth it. Lian Xing’s sheer stockings today are just the right amount of sheer, nice!" "I changed my home's wifi name to (Is Lian Xing my wife?), and the password to yesyesyes. Now, everyone in the dorm connects to my wifi." "My admiration for Lian Xing is hard to express. Wherever she is, any problem seems easy to solve—even my skirt undid itself!!" “I went to buy a spicy sandwich asking the vendor to add more spice, but it fell and got muddy on the way. I cried – so this is what a spicy sandwich likes mud for?????” "......" "......" "Lian Xing, is this the true name of the most powerful Moonlight Bunny? Is she famous in Youlan Academy?" Watching the local fans of Youlan Academy go wild in the chat, Baifeng Academy fans, redirected here by Xiao Kui, were puzzled. If Lian Xing was so famous, wouldn’t Youlan Academy's members know her pet line-up by now? Surely Xiao Kui was only fantasizing!!! However, they didn’t realize that Lian Xing’s renown wasn’t due to her strength... It was simply because she strolled around the academy daily in sheer stockings, tangling with the trust she evoked yet never offering herself for sale, becoming the fantasy target students most wished for a free acquisition. Under all the excitement, Lian Xing leisurely sat at one of the vintage battle setups, waving a hand to her new team members. Watching this, Ye Zhuzhi, clad in a split cheongsam, along with two other mid-tier beast tamers brought in for numbers, nodded awkwardly. Their captain was recently defeated by Lian Xing... And soon, they would team up with the very force that crushed their captain, a feeling both oddly thrilling and stimulating~~~ "What’s going on? Is she really reliable?" "Are you sure you're not joking?" As the match time approached, Chi Yan settled into her position, ignoring the skeptical Youlan Academy director. You have to give it to the live camera crew for understanding its audience, generously capturing a slow-motion close-up of Lian Xing's sheer-stockinged legs from bottom to top. Instantly, chat frequency dipped as viewers seemed busy typing one-handed, resulting in a flood of typos and missing words. Previously clueless, pure passerby viewers now started to get it... The perfect curve and arch of those slender legs, combined with the soft, lustrous pale skin, were truly divine gifts!! Rated as a national feast of allure!! In a short while, with appreciative gazes wrapped around the scene, the countdown ended, and five modes refreshed on the battle equipment screen. 【Team Brawl (Single Pet)】 【Team Brawl (Unlimited)】 【Single-petal Round Battle (Single Pet)】 【Flag Capture Battle (Single Pet)】 【Instance Speedrun (Unlimited)】 【Please disable a mode first, Youlan Academy Team】 "Lian Xing, what do you suggest?" "Free choice. I'm fine with anything~~~" Chi Yan’s anxious inquiry was met with Lian Xing’s perpetually nonchalant and relaxed demeanor. Sitting curled up and quietly hugging her knees in the chair, she resembled a petite, endearing lop-eared rabbit. Seeing Lian Xing’s ease, Chi Yan felt more at ease herself. Indeed, even the powerful Starlight Academy suffered crushing defeat under Lian Xing, offering no resistance. Facing Qingliu Academy—on par with Youlan Academy—how could Lian Xing possibly lose!? However, considering the long-range throw characteristic of Hugging Prime Moon Mallet, Chi Yan opted for the single-petal round battle mode first to prevent any close-quarters suppression by melee pets. Three seconds later, Qingliu Academy decisively disabled the Team Brawl (Unlimited) mode, clearly indicating that they hadn't invested in raising multiple beasts, but instead focused on specializing in a main force. Following this, Chi Yan banned the Instance Speedrun mode. After all, the opponents were a team with years of cooperation, likely having worked together to complete many instances, whereas her team, including Lian Xing, had no such synergy and might easily face setbacks. What Chi Yan didn't realize was that she unknowingly discarded what could have been a 100,000,000% guaranteed victory.
