[ The Radiant Feldspar ], Jade found the Robin on the open-air viewing platform.
" Miss Robin. I never expected to meet you on this ship."
"Lady Jade?" The Robin noticed the visitor and turned around. "Hello, the opening ceremony of the Charmony Festival is about to begin on the [ Radiant Feldspar ], so I came up early to make some preparations."
"Have you spoken with old Mr. Oti?" she asked.
Jade, with one hand on her hip, replied, "Actually, I'm on my way to see him. Is Miss Robin well acquainted with him?"
"It's a pity I never met him, I only heard a few comments from the former head of the Oak family: 'Old Mr. Oti was a shrewd businessman, but in other aspects... I can't say much.'" The Robin paused, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes, "... I heard a few comments from the former head of the Oak family: 'Old Mr. Audi was a shrewd businessman, but in other aspects... I can't say much.'"
"So, where do you think the future of the Planet of Festivities will lead?"
"Just like the Radiant Feldspar was once suspended but then set sail again, I believe that dreams will be reborn."
The Robin raised its head, "[ Harmony ] We need to find a new direction; only by saying goodbye to the past can we sail towards tomorrow."
"There are no permanent allies, nor permanent enemies. Hopefully, we can each get what we need from this deal."
"Of course," Jade nodded. "I look forward to your performance. Hope to see you again at the celebration."
"Yes, Ms. Jade, see you later."
Meanwhile, the main banquet cabin of the [ The Radiant Feldspar ] airship has hosted countless wealthy merchants, nobles, and political figures from other planets in the galaxy.
At this moment, the great Galactic Baseballer and her companions stepped into this luxurious realm.
"Tsk..." Xing clicked her tongue, her gaze critically sweeping over the gleaming floor and exquisite decorations. "A spaceship without a trash can—that's obviously unprofessional. Negative points!"
"You're actually focusing on the trash can?!" March 7th said with a look of utter exasperation. "Get your act together and appreciate the style of this top-tier airship!"
March 7th grumbled from the side, "Ah, Dan Heng and Teacher Ye Yan are together, and Uncle Yang went to find Himeko... The task of taking care of you naturally falls on this young lady, sigh~ so tiring."
" March 7th, what kind of talk is that... The battle with [ Order ] is over, now all you have to do is two words: Enjoy!"
Xing waved his hand casually and corrected, "Think about the icy wilderness of Jarilo-VI and the perilous journey of the Xianzhou Luofu, when have we ever truly relaxed?"
"In Belobog, the very next morning after a pillow fight... you'd be a wanted criminal by the Supreme Guardian; not to mention Luofu, where the very beginning involved the Lord Ravager disguised Tingyun, making it a place fraught with danger."
"Hmm... that makes so much sense, I can't find a single point to refute it." March 7th rested her chin on her hand and blinked.
Before she could finish speaking, Xing's figure had already disappeared when she looked up again.
The next second, Xing appeared not far away next to a strangely styled Intellitron gentleman who exuded a cold metallic gleam.
"If I win... your treasure chest is mine!"
"Alright," the Intellitron replied calmly and without a trace of emotion, "But... ma'am, what if I were to win by some stroke of luck?"
"Ha, what a joke!" Star put his hands on his hips, chin slightly raised, "How could I, the mighty Galactic Baseballer... be defeated by Intellitron guy like you?"
"If you win... these Credits are yours!"
"Oh? Madam, I must admit, it was a very impulsive idea... Unfortunately, Credits are of no use to me, please forgive me."
"So what do you want?"
"Good question, madam." The Intellitron pretended to think for a moment. "As an inorganic life form, you should know that I don't need to eat. But occasionally... I'd like to change things up. What do you think?"
"Oh, I understand." Hoshi deliberately drew out her words and took out a cup of coffee that Himeko had made.
"Let's use this as the wager."
Haha... you're so funny.
If we keep going, the topic will veer off course. Xing pointed to the [ Origami Bird Clash ] game machine on the left:
"How about we settle this with this game?"
The Intellitron didn't speak, but simply bowed gracefully and made a "please" gesture.
"Wow... Xing, did you see that? He's so charming!" March 7th ran over, her eyes sparkling.
"Wait, [ Origami Bird Clash ] sounds like a match-3 puzzle game, right?"
"As you can see, there are game machines all around us that are basically ' Origami Bird Clash games.' What can I do?"
Xing shrugged. "You can't exactly play rock-paper-scissors with someone, can you?"
After a thoroughly enjoyable battle...
"I... I lost..."
Xing knelt on the ground, repeating incredulously.
"Haha~ What an exhilarating gaming experience! Let's do it again!"
Star stood up again; the word 'give up' doesn't exist in the dictionary of the Galactic Baseballer!
A few minutes later, she looked at the word 'failure' glowing red on the screen and rubbed her eyes again.
Go for it, Xing!
March 7th waved her arms and cheered loudly. Sometime later, a gentle and elegant Miss Firefly appeared beside her, who introduced herself as ' Lady Samuel '.
"You look so energetic, just like before," Firefly Ying murmured.
Xing slammed his hand on the control panel, pointing at the data on the screen, "Wait, what's with the item usage count showing ∞?! Even cheating has its basic rules!"
A strong sense of déjà vu washed over her; Ye Yan had caught her off guard in the same way during the Jarilo-VI [ Aetherium Wars ] competition.
"Hehe~" The Intellitron emitted a deep, synthesized electronic voice, slowly shaking its head. "Madam, I admire your competitive spirit, but this unlimited-use item... is also part of my strength."
His gaze, hidden beneath the mask, settled steadily on Xing. Though his expression remained unchanged, Xing seemed to clearly see two enormous virtual characters—mockery.
A surge of heat rushed to her head, and Xing felt the veins on her forehead throbbing. She was someone who could fight against the [ Lord Ravager ]; how could she have ever suffered such humiliation?
Now that things have come to this, don't blame her for being heartless.
"Calm down... calm down! Don't let anger cloud your judgment!"
March 7th called out anxiously from below the stage, but her eyes also gleamed with Curiosity. What secret weapon would Xing pull out? Was it Teacher Ye Yan's cup of milk tea?
Then, they saw Xing decisively take out her phone and skillfully dial a number.
" Silver Wolf, I've encountered an incredibly skilled esports player. If the two of us join forces, we might be able to hold our own against him!"
"No time..." came the loud clicking of keys and faint explosion sounds from the other end of the phone. "I'm fighting the Herta minions. Good luck to you."
Upon hearing this, Firefly gave an awkward smile, not expecting that Silver Wolf would actually go to find someone from the Genius Society.
