Shura and Snow

"Okay." That simple word immediately stopped Bing Su from crying.

"You... you agreed?"

"Hmm." Since the external relations minister of his own club was being bullied, it was only natural for him to step in.

Bing Su rushed forward excitedly to hug Lu Qingxue, but a Bing Bing sword sheath gently rested on her shoulder, stopping her in her tracks.

The staff at the Virtual Pod Training Hall quickly spotted Bing Su, who had just returned, accompanied by a cool, aloof woman dressed in snow-white clothes.

They actually brought Lu Qingxue along!

Are they trying to get revenge? The waiters exchanged surprised glances as the two headed straight for the VIP training room.

Bing Su looked worriedly at the training room that was getting closer and closer.

Now she is particularly worried that her opponent, Shura, will log off.

In this way, Lu Qingxue's trip was essentially for nothing.

Moreover, only Lu Qingxue knows about this right now, and you should know that no one knows her Internal Network ID.

After much deliberation, Bing Su could only turn to the Goddess of War was the president of the Kendo Club, for help.

The two figures entered the advanced training room simultaneously, and the door closed.

The conversation began inside the room.

"Senior Qing Xue, what kind of mecha are you using?" Bing Su asked expectantly.

Lu Qingxue looked at the virtual pod that had already popped open and said without looking up, "Mulan."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I've only ever used this mech."

This surprised Bing Su, who was full of confidence. Hadn't her senior been invited to the Mecha Club before?

Why are you only using the sixth generation Mulan Mecha now?!

Of course, she didn't know that it was a kendo experiment she was invited by Lei Nuo to conduct, simply to try out the application of kendo in mecha combat.

Lu Qingxue merely used the synergy device to perfectly replicate the moves. In terms of understanding of mechs, Lu Qingxue is probably not as good as Bing Su has been immersed in the Battle. net for many years.

But... the virtual pod is now closed.

Seeing her senior's decisive manner, Bing Su felt a surge of confidence. In her mind, all the legends about the Goddess of War could be summed up in two words—invincible.

When a newly created character, [Snow], with no rank, appeared on this side, Mu Fan had just returned from the bathroom. Perhaps he ate too much yesterday, because he couldn't wait to start the next match and couldn't hold on any longer.

Touching his forehead, which had just been rinsed with cold water, and rubbing his comforting stomach, Mu Fan re-entered the intranet for a battle.

Having learned from his previous two experiences, he absolutely cannot afford to lose this time.

The player [Shura] has reappeared.

Just as Mu Fan was about to enter the automatically matched scene, a sound suddenly rang out from somewhere, and a light screen window popped up in front of him.

Player [Snow] wants to add you as a friend. Do you want to accept?

Add friends? Does this system even have that feature?

"Friends is a system auxiliary function, which can be set through the system wizard." At this moment, the dry system voice appeared, obviously a routine explanation of the function that appeared for the first time.

Without hesitation, Mu Fan replied, "No."

"Friend request from stranger [Snow] will not be accepted."

It's probably the wrong person who added him. He just registered the account, how could anyone know him? Besides, Mu Fan doesn't plan to tell anyone his ID. This is his exclusive account for training, and he'll just keep the training quiet.

So Mu Fan focused his mind on preparing for another battle; his heart was already burning with determination.

Get up from where you fall!

Player [Snow] wants to add you as a friend. Do you want to accept?

Another notification sounded, Mu Fan frowned as he looked at it before selecting "No" again.

Bing Su, who had re-applied for a virtual pod, looked nervously at the expressionless newbie girl beside her in the PO Battle Network.

Lu Qingxue didn't want others to recognize her, so she not only didn't use the account she used in the first virtual mecha training room, but also randomly selected an image that was most different from her own appearance when creating a new character. Her height was slightly reduced, and her aloof goddess temperament was transformed into that of a girl with no personality.

Seeing that [Shura] rejected her again, Lu Qingxue merely frowned slightly before continuing to apply.

Once, twice, three times...

Bing Su watched as Lu Qingxue remained almost motionless in that posture, her heart pounding in her throat with anxiety. What was going on?

By the fifth time, Mu Fan almost at his wit's end with the insane number of friend requests.

Pass!

Player [Snow] becomes your friend.

Hearing this notification, Mu Fan felt a sense of relief, finally free from this annoying harassment.

"My friend [Snow] has requested a sparring match with you. Shall we begin?"

With another system notification, Mu Fan finally couldn't take it anymore and let out a long howl. "Ah!!"

Reject!

"My friend [Snow] has requested a sparring match with you. Shall we begin?"

The persistent reminders seemed to have become an addiction to arguing with Mu Fan.

On the other end, Lu Qingxue clicked the application button again and again without getting annoyed.

My purpose in coming here is very clear: to compete and then defeat my opponent.

Before this goal is achieved, all actions are a form of cultivation.

It must be said that the persistent attitude of this player named [Snow] finally inspired Mu Fan.

Mu Fan couldn't find the button to block friends, but he saw the option to delete friends, so he decided to ask a question before deleting this friend.

[Shura: Have you got the wrong person?]

[Snow: It's you.]

[Shura: What do you mean, "I am"?]

[Snow: Fight, and then crush you.]

Mu Fan's finger, hovering over the light screen, paused, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

He has 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss so far, and people are still coming to his door to challenge him!

Moreover, the meaning in the other party's words was very clear: not to defeat, but to crush!

Is the first thing you're going to say is about defeating yourself?

Should I break myself down?

A stranger's immediate and blatant attempt to humiliate him was something even the good-natured Mu Fan couldn't tolerate.

[Shura: Heh.]

This time, the other party did not reply, but instead sent another battle request.

Mu Fan directly selected "yes".

The battle between [Shura] and [Snow] is about to begin. Do you want to open the room?

No!

Upon seeing Lu Qingxue's signal that the battle could begin, Bing Su excitedly said she wanted to join the spectator mode.

Lu Qingxue replied directly, "He refuses to open up."

This drove Bing Su to the brink of madness; the opponent's move was simply too ruthless.

All I could say was in a strong tone that I would beat the other party to a pulp.

Countdown 9, 8, 7...

Lu Qingxue, who had the appearance of a girl with no personality, nodded and disappeared in a white light. She didn't need to prepare; the Fifth Generation Mecha Mulan was sufficient as the base mecha.

Mu Fan, however, was not as decisive as his opponent.

Because that awful system has given us that incredibly annoying option again.

Player [Shura], please choose one of the following three mechs to fight:

Fourth-generation fighter jet [Ossified Stone]

Fourth-generation fighter jet [Prototype Iron Ball]

Fourth-generation fighter jet: Wild Boar

Now, when he thinks about those two weirdos he encountered before, he feels powerless.

One was an ostrich with vestigial wings, and the other was an iron ball without legs. If the previous opponent hadn't been disrupted by his sudden charge and foolishly engaged him in close combat, he probably wouldn't have even had a chance for a draw.

But at least the iron ball has two arms...

Mu Fan, conflicted, stroked his chin. The countdown was about to end, and he had to make a choice. If he ended up with Ossified Stone, he would be devastated.

Select... Prototype Iron Ball?

Mu Fan hesitated for a moment just before his fingers touched her finger, but his goal was training!

Let's see what that "Wild Boar" looks like!

If it really is a pig, then I'll accept my fate and from now on I'll only choose mechs based on their names.

Player [Shura] chooses the fourth-generation mech [Wild Boar].

As darkness fell, Mu Fan entered the battle map.
