Chapter 91

"Remember to give them plenty of close-ups; Anti-Entropy's anniversary celebration, we can't let the people of Schicksal steal all the limelight."

"Keep it up, buddy!"

An Yu chuckled softly and waved her hand, which was her response.

Is An Yu still moving forward?

"He chose the 150-meter dash!"

Black Seele calmed down considerably after a while, and she suddenly remembered the strength in An Yu's hand.

The projector was on again in the broadcasting room. Xing shakily got up and glared at An Yu with a fierce look.

But after a moment she sighed in relief, "Forget it, I can't beat them."

"Go for it, An Yu!"

She also encouraged them, openly taking sides, after all, Schicksal of 100 and 120 truly stole the show at Anti-Entropy's anniversary celebration.

"Photographer! Photographer! Stay close! We're the real deal with Anti-Entropy! We can be nominated for a world record!"

Wendy:...

Perhaps it was pre-planned, or perhaps multiple cameras were working together, but this time the lens firmly locked onto the black and white soccer ball, which drew a sharp arc from the sky and crashed straight into the goal!

"It's in!"

Just as the ball slammed into the net, after a brief stalemate that lasted only a second before Black Seele could even cheer, a second ball followed, crashing into the first one before separating and bouncing gently on the ground before finally returning to complete stillness.

Now, the sound of swallowing saliva wasn't coming from the broadcasting room anymore.

An Yu tugged at his collar, completely ignoring everyone else's concerns. He raised his hands high, his voice carrying throughout the hall even without the loudspeaker. "Everyone! Shout my name out!"

The broadcasting room was very accommodating, Black Seele reminded everyone again, "An Yu!"

The deafening roar of the crowd set the atmosphere ablaze! The venue was completely electrified, which was the main reason Xing chose to shoot from a fixed spot – she knew An Yu's performance would ignite the atmosphere.

"An--Yu!!!"

An Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was inappropriate to think like this now, he was indeed somewhat relieved that nothing unexpected had happened.

The exuberance and willfulness of university life faded away rather quickly after graduation.

Just like in her dream, Black Seele stared blankly at the confident and gentle figure. Xing, standing beside her, nudged her, trembling, "Girl, you didn't get slapped senseless by An Yu, did you?"

"Ahem, let's look at the next contestant..."

After regaining her senses, Black Seele was about to continue the process when her gaze swept over the next name on the list. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly pushed Xing back to the main seat.

Bronya, sitting in the stands, felt her heart bleed. Black Seele and White Seele were of one mind. Although White Xi's eyes weren't entirely filled with An Yu, her adoring gaze still made her heart ache.

"I'm a student."

Einstein coughed softly twice.

"You just gave it to me."

Tesla retorted.

As Elysia watched, her anger subsided considerably. Sigh, it was rare to see Xiaoyu so happy at home.

Only Anna was decisive.

[Future Guardians - Schicksal]

Anna: "An Yu"*16

Kiana: "..."

Durandal: "... When will he be back?"

Sirin: "No An Yu, no An Yu's photos!"

Theresa (Group Owner): "? Who is he? How come you all seem to know him?"

Rita: "@Miss Anna, your blind date left yesterday swearing and cursing."

Anna: "Never mind him. We've never met before. I'm not going to entrust my life to a complete stranger."

Li Sushang: "Fat Chicken! Bubbling. jpg"

Anna put her phone away with satisfaction, while Bronya was still heartbroken.

Bronya's heart was bleeding. With Black Seele and White Seele, plus An Yu's good buddies Xing and Rozaliya, and Liliya who unexpectedly matched with her, Bronya felt that her kingdom was about to collapse.

But soon, she didn't have time to feel heartbroken.

Anzu regained control. "Everyone! The game isn't over yet."

"No time to reminisce about our Double Flower Red Lu Gun An Yu, next up is the Chosen One, the most courageous Anti-Entropy, consistently ranking in the top eight in the gaming world year after year, occasionally slipping into the top sixteen, and a three-time consecutive Anti-Entropy Racing League champion... Bronya!"

Bronya:?

She didn't know she had signed up, but she was just wondering about it. After all, people sometimes get drafted into high school and college, and who could blame her for being so outstanding?

"She chose a distance of 160 meters!"

Bronya's smile froze on her face.

Now it's confirmed, Xing really wants her dead.

"Photographer, photographer, shift the camera a little to the left! Bronya looks like she has the victory in the bag, she doesn't even need to warm up, look at her cool and confident Bronya face!"

Bronya remained silent for a long time. "Xing, don't leave after the anniversary celebration today. We still have a life-or-death battle in the locker room."

Volume 1: Chapter 134 (133) The Complete Pisa!

But Bronya went up anyway.

I'll say it again: I can be worse than him!

Bronya Zaychek's greatest strength lies in defeating others in their strongest areas! Am I worse than An Yu?

... The results proved that it was indeed worse than An Yu!

"The photographer gets a bonus! Your lunch is all chicken legs!"

Xing's voice was exaggeratedly high-pitched.

"The camera followed closely, and the ball flew very high, but it seemed to lose momentum. The ball landed, rolled on the ground, and completely deviated from its course!"

"Complete Pisa! (Major Crisis)"

Xing clutched her head, letting out a dramatic wail, as if she had witnessed some epic disaster.

"Waaah, Bronya, on whom we placed so much hope, has once again fallen on her path to the championship."

"Failure is a constant throughout life; perhaps regret is an essential lesson in life."

Xing feigned sadness, touching non-existent tears.

"An Yu, is An Yu still on the field?"

Xing seemed to have suddenly grasped at a lifeline, and her voice abruptly rose in pitch.

The camera instantly focused on An Yu, who was chatting and laughing with Wendy on the sidelines. Xing asked blankly, "An Yu, I want to ask you a question on Bronya's behalf: Will winning the championship really make you happy?"

Bronya's cheeks were flushed, as if steam was rising from them. It was supposed to be just a defeat, but Xing, you're making a scene here!

"Oh well, it's alright. The performance isn't over yet. I believe Bronya will definitely win the championship that belongs to her. It's not her last dance yet."

Xing held her forehead, but the upward curve of her lips was simply too conspicuous.

"Photographer, focus the camera on our Bronya. We should be more lenient with the loser."

Bronya's face turned bright red, but when the camera turned to her, she still managed to force a professional smile.

"The girl with the fake smile."

Xing muttered to herself at a volume just loud enough for the microphone to pick up.

Bronya held back for a long time, covering her face with her hands in her sleeves, her shoulders even trembling as she suppressed her emotions.

Xing, I can't wait until today is over. During lunch break, in the locker room, let's have a final showdown.

Of course, there were other projects afterward, and An Yu came in first place in all of them. Even though they needed to coordinate, his chemistry with Wendy was rapidly improving.

The multiplayer projects also include Bronya and Elysia, and occasionally Kiana can be included.

It really is a place full of beautiful women.

After the morning's activities ended, An Yu didn't forget the important matter, although he felt that anyone else would have forgotten long ago.

After all, a lot has happened recently.

"Uncle Yang, would you be interested in a deep collaboration with a rising star in the gaming industry?"

Bronya was nowhere to be found, so for a time, the future of Reson Studio rested on his shoulders.

Upon hearing this, Welt laughed heartily, "When Bronya went off on her own, wasn't she quite confident?"

However, he didn't mean to make things difficult. Compared to the comprehensive support that Raiden Mei received from ME Corp., Bronya and An Yu were indeed raised in poverty.

"Bronya underestimated her ambitions," An Yu sighed.

"Originally, she was supposed to develop her career step by step, but she's gotten used to her initial glory. Now it's really too difficult for her to settle down and slowly build up her reputation."

Bronya even has a special follower, BFF. She doesn't have a system yet, making a game is just too difficult, and Bronya's temper isn't that good. She can't stand the idea of starting from scratch and other people's opinions.

"And you?"

Welt turned his gaze to An Yu, his eyes filled with inquiry.

"Me? I'm still the same as always. After all, I initially thought Bronya would go out on her own for a few years, then couldn't stand it and came back."

"As a result, my sharp edge dissipated a bit too quickly during my time back in my hometown," An Yu said with a helpless smile. "However, I'm not too upset about it."

"You must be really out of your mind," Welt Yang sighed.

"Actually, I initially wanted you to gain experience at headquarters," he said softly, leaning against the railing.

"But back then, you had only graduated from university a year ago, and you always seemed to have high hopes for the future, so I didn't try to keep you, even though you often complained that Anti-Entropy had lost to Schicksal again this year..."

An Yu leaned against Jiu, but with her back against the railing, gazing up at the blue sky.

"An Yu," Welt suddenly spoke, his tone changing slightly, "Do you know about Honkai?"

An Yu's eyes suddenly darkened. "Uncle Yang, what did you say?"

You noticed it too? Or are you also experiencing that strange dream feature?

Welt Yang's expression was complicated. "You should have met Coralie by now, right?"

An Yu nodded. "I've met him, but we're not close."

He paused, then casually remarked, "To be honest, I'm not very good with kids. Her hair color is quite unique, like... well, a scruffy little dog."

"Even so, if Mr. Einstein knew, he'd probably hit me on the head."

Welt Yang didn't reply immediately. After a long silence, he explained with mixed feelings, "She has a tail, but it's not very long right now, and it's covered by her clothes."

Cough! Cough cough!

An Yu started coughing violently, her initial relaxed state completely gone. Huh?

"Uncle Yang, I was just kidding. The mixed-breed puppy's coat color is actually quite nice."

An Yu was a little unsure how to respond, so she quickly tried to smooth things over, "Wait, do you guys like Coralie that much? You can't even joke about her hair color."

"She really has a tail, that child seems to have undergone a genetic mutation." Welt's tone was serious, not like he was joking.

He continued, "And aren't you curious why a little girl like her has such long hair?"

An Yu looked completely bewildered. "Why should I be curious about this? Let a little girl keep her hair as it is."

Welt didn't keep her in suspense. "To cover her ears."

"Dog, dog ears?"

An Yu's voice trembled.

What an inhumane fusion surgery...

He suddenly froze, thinking about Kevin's changes in the game, and he wanted to complain but didn't know how.

So, is Coralie a case of genetic regression?

"Wasn't it that special gene that came into play?"
