Starting with Crimson

Li Qingyu rummaged in his pocket...

Finally, they pulled out a piece of black earwax about the size of a marble?

Okay, of course it's not earwax. How could you possibly find earwax in your lower body...?

This is the solar-powered communicator that Colonel Chu sent to all the players in the Asian region during the pre-match preparation space.

The original intention was to facilitate communication among the contestants when they entered the competition.

Unfortunately... Colonel Chu probably never imagined that the distance between people in the first round of this Civilization Competition would be so vast...

As a result, this communicator, which only had a range of one kilometer, became a mere decoration. Li Qingyu stuffed it in his pocket and has forgotten about it ever since.

But even if this thing evolves, it's probably not very useful, right?

Even if it evolves into a super communicator, increasing the chat distance tenfold or a hundredfold, it still probably won't be as fast as messages from a civilized chat channel.

Forget it, let's keep it as an alternative, since it only requires a few evolution points.

Anyway... Li Qingyu still has three evolution points left to use freely, so let's start with two foods that are about to become unavailable...

Li Qingyu wasn't simply after food, because at the moment, there really wasn't much left to evolve.

Basically, Li Qingyu has evolved everything that can evolve once.

Moreover, Otis of the Abyss Civilization is coming soon, so we can't keep messing around with airplanes, can we?

What if...she creates another defective product? After all, Li Qingyu's weaving skills are not yet mature enough, and it's easy for her to make technical mistakes...

Thinking it over, Li Qingyu took the remaining golden fried rice and orange soda from the refrigerator and returned to the sofa.

The husky, thinking it was about time to eat, trotted happily to Li Qingyu's side, wagging its tail joyfully.

This time, the husky wasn't sleepy at all. Its eyes were glued to the golden fried rice, and it looked excited and eager for the meal to begin.

Li Qingyu sat back on the sofa, adjusting his posture to make himself more comfortable.

I glanced at the orange soda in my left hand, then at the golden fried rice in my right.

Li Qingyu was too lazy to argue about who should go first. With a thought, a deep red light flashed in his eyes.

In an instant, Li Qingyu's palms were suddenly enveloped in deep red flames and burned fiercely.

Soon, the two flames of evolution dissipated.

At this moment, what appeared before Li Qingyu was...

In his left hand, there was still a bottle of soda, the color and size of which remained unchanged.

It looks like... it's still orange soda?

The right hand, however, no longer holds the old-fashioned aluminum lunchbox.

Although it was still a box, it had changed from an old-fashioned aluminum lunchbox into a thin, light blue round box, about the size of Li Qingyu's palm.

Judging from the outside, it was impossible to tell what was inside, so Li Qingyu looked directly at the system introduction.

.........................

Blue Star Official Live Broadcast Room.

Jinghai City Live Broadcast Room.

"Dear viewers, the exciting battle is about to begin!!"

"A showdown between the seeded players of the Abyss Civilization and the number one player on the Oasis Ranking in China."

"The battle is about to officially begin!"

"Dear viewers, are you... excited?"

Just as Li Qingyu was rushing back to Pineapple Castle, Miss Orange took five minutes to shower, put on makeup, style her hair, change clothes, and incidentally give him a back massage. She was waving her hands and shouting loudly.

At this moment, Miss Orange was wearing a bright red, form-fitting cheongsam with a national flag pattern.

She hadn't changed her black over-the-knee stockings; a glimpse of delicate, snow-white skin was visible through the slit in her cheongsam.

Miss Orange's original orange hair was dyed back to pure black, and she styled it into a traditional Chinese flying fairy bun on top of her head.

Not only that, Miss Orange also has an antique red headband with the words "Victory is certain" written on it tied to her forehead, making her look both classic and radiant.

"Victory is certain!"

"Victory is certain!!"

"Victory is certain!!!"

On the live broadcast screen, the river of victory never stopped flowing; on the contrary, it appeared to grow larger as news of the impending clash between the human and demon races spread.

Because... most of the viewers from various countries who had checked in at Angel's live stream flocked over, eager to see the upcoming clash.

The third clash between the demon race and the human race!

That's right... the third time!

The first encounter was between Shov and Otis, which ended with Shov being injured and Otis escaping.

The second one was the duel between Angel and Lilith just now, which ended with both of them dying together.

The second time, in particular, instilled in the audience of Blue Star an extreme sense of disgust for the Abyss Demons.

I really hope that in this upcoming third showdown, Li Qingyu can eliminate the Abyss Civilization's contestants and vent his anger.

Of course, Chu Xuan's analysis, which was displayed on the live stream screen, was also shown in the Civilized Chat Channel.

This eased the crowd's expectations slightly, and even made them begin to doubt... whether this confrontation would actually take place as scheduled...

Miss Orange calmed down as well, and while fixing her slightly messy hair, she said thoughtfully:

"It seems that Colonel Chu believes that the Abyss Civilization, after losing its main force Lilith, has been terrified by the strength of our human race and no longer wants to continue this match."

"Therefore, Otis of the Abyss Civilization is currently deliberately eliminating goblins in an attempt to end the game quickly."

"And the fact that I'm about to meet contestant Li Qingyu... is it just an unexpected coincidence?"

Miss Orange licked her lips with a hint of regret.

No way... I got all excited for nothing. I was all ready to watch that mutated rice blast them to smithereens...

Is it even possible that a fight won't break out?! I'm so angry!!

Although she was furious inside, Miss Orange continued speaking without changing her expression:

"Even if Colonel Chu believes it's a coincidence, the possibility of conflict cannot be ruled out."

"Didn't you see that our player Li Qingyu is already actively preparing?"

"Uh... Li Qingyu walked towards the kitchen..."

"He...he took out soda and fried rice?"

Miss Orange was speechless. Sure enough, she shouldn't have had any expectations of this man; he was still the same domestic, good-natured man who did nothing but sleep and eat.

Speechless, Miss Orange casually accepted a steaming hot lunchbox with a dog head logo from her assistant.

"It's lunchtime. I imagine everyone's as hungry as Li Qingyu, right?"

"Erhua Brand Instant Rice... You've never imagined how delicious and refreshing it is!~"

Just as Miss Orange picked up her rice, ready to take a bite, she was suddenly drawn to the scene on the broadcast screen.

"Huh... Li Qingyu used his 'Lick King' talent on soda and fried rice!?"

"And the upgraded items..."

Miss Orange blinked, feeling that the face looked somewhat familiar.

"Ponto...pontoon candy?"
