They are quite fond of each other and have come to Xingtie

Unfortunately, after she was blown away by the grenade, she flew into the big red circle of the bombing area.

The whistling bomb threw Nero up again before she had completely lost the momentum in the air - she still did not faint, but the two consecutive explosions threw her more than 30 meters away like a stone skipping on water, and she fell outside the safe zone.

As soon as the bracelet turned red, another competitive legend left the competition.

"……what?"

Nero got up groggily and confirmed that he was not short of any weight, but found that his bracelet had turned red.

I was eliminated? What happened?

As she stared in disbelief, the bomber flew away, but the hot wind caused by the bomb still tortured her throbbing nerves.

She saw Xiaoshi being blown four or five meters high from behind the fountain by a bomb, and then falling into the pool, overlapping with Weihua, her body stretched as stiff as an iron man - ah, she was the "Iron Man".

Then it was Bai Zi's turn. She only saw Bai Zi's main weapon drawing a beautiful arc from behind the cover and being blown out by the shock wave. The scene was too cartoony to give people a sense of absurd humor.

As for that accountant…it seemed that her body triggered a self-protection mechanism after killing her “arch-enemy”. She fainted completely with a weird smile of satisfaction on her face amid the shock of the bullet.

The three groups of people who were confronting each other just now were reduced to the big golden retriever and the black-skinned maid hiding behind an abandoned car after the bombing.

149. Good luck, let’s eat chicken tonight!

"...Ah, I'm actually ranked sixth?"

Nero scratched his scalp, and all the unhappy and uncomfortable emotions disappeared the moment the outcome was determined.

She threw away a piece of rag hanging around her neck - it seemed to be Bai Zi's scarf that was blown away, which made her feel a little weird.

Although the teacher has many "favorite disciples", Bai Zi is undoubtedly the student who has learned the most from the teacher and the student who has spent the longest time with him. Even the "wolf" who can fly over eaves and walls and shuttle between the fields like a ghost was ultimately unable to withstand the covering attack.

But if she indulged in her feelings, she would not be the "strongest agent" - Nero still planned to work for a few more years, and was not ready to give up her position for the time being. She would work from high school to university. If possible, according to the teacher's expectations, she would also try to advance to a higher institution, bringing everyone in C&C together...

She quickly narrowed her eyes again, because there were still two "insiders" in the circle and they still hadn't decided the winner.

Even after the bracelet announced that the number of remaining players in the competition was "2", the blonde and white maid and the black-haired and brown-skinned maid did not react. They were still standing on the left and right of the distant position that had become a bombing crater, as if the flash of the explosion did not hurt their eyes. If you look closely, even the dust raised by the explosion did not fall on them.

Seeing this scene, Nero was too tired to complain. She knew that the two juniors were able to squat behind the cover safely because of someone's unparalleled good luck. It would be fine if it was always like this in life, but it was too outrageous that such good luck could still work in a chicken-eating competition of this scale.

Asuna and Karin had never successfully entered the finals before, but in the most crucial competition, they survived to the end, which was really fate.

"What are you two doing standing there? It's time to take action!"

Even though it's cruel, there can only be one winner, the one who eats the chicken!

Nero stood outside the circle, shouting loudly, hoping that the younger generations could finish the game quickly and efficiently - no matter which one of them went to the teacher, she would be proud of that person.

"...Hana Rin?"

"Asuna-senpai."

The first one to turn around was Karin. She pressed her rifle against Asuna's chest. At this distance, the AR had no power reduction at all, and it only took three shots to knock Asuna down.

However, after confirming that the surroundings were "safe", the big golden retriever gave Hua Lin a big smile... That sunny smile seemed to never fade, even though Hua Lin had shown clear hostility towards her.

The muzzle of her gun was not pointed at Hua Lin, but was still pointing in the direction where Xiao Shi fell.

"...You are too cunning, Senior..."

Karin grunted.

No matter how cold and ruthless she was, how could she feel at ease pulling the trigger at Asuna?

Unlike Hoshino and the others, the girls from Abydos knew very well that the members of the Strategy Committee would never show mercy to each other in the Chicken Eating Competition, because they were the ones who "survived" the brutal battlefield and were the first to understand the importance of snatching the teacher, so they had no guilt at all...

But after all, Karin has never experienced the process of "growing up wildly". She knows very well that Asuna will not attack her for the opportunity to be No.1 next to the teacher. She will keep smiling until she "kills".

It's such an uncomfortable feeling to be pointed at by the other party from the commanding heights of morality and friendship.

Hua Lin, who never really cared about her own evaluation, hesitated. She wanted to see her teacher very much...

However, this was just for the sake of competing for first place, not to say that she would never see the teacher again after this opportunity - Hua Lin really couldn't expose her ugliness to that harmless and "noble" smile.

Even if there is a prerequisite for softness and friendship, it is precious... Although it is a bit immature... Nero intends to urge them, but seeing that Hua Lin's face is completely inconsistent with her cold face, and she is shaking behind her gun, she doesn't know how to push them:

"Hey, if you two keep dragging this out, the circle will close completely!"

"…Then let it shrink completely."

In the end, Hua Lin sighed with a hint of reluctance:

"If it wasn't Asuna-senpai but Nero-senpai in the end, I would have shot him without hesitation..."

"...Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you later if you use this analogy with me?"

The blue veins on Nero's forehead that had just disappeared bulged out again, but she had to admit that if there were only two people left in the final round, she would not hesitate to shoot no matter who the opponent was. Hua Lin knew her too well.

If it were these two juniors, no matter which one went to the teacher first, it should make the teacher happier.

Thinking of this, Nero stopped urging them. She walked to the unconscious Yuuka and Noah at the bottom of the slope, preparing to give them a simple bandage before the rescue team arrived - Yuuka was really ruthless, the volley of bullets just now was aimed at Noah's head, and he probably won't wake up for a day.

"Hara Rin, you had a lot of fun today, didn't you? The most important thing is that we will see our teacher again soon!"

Asuna, who had no awareness of participating in the competition at all and had relaxed in every aspect, grabbed Karin's hand and shook it.

Perhaps in her opinion, as long as her C&C companions all achieved good rankings, her own ranking was not so important.

The alarms on their wristbands flashed again. The safety zone had shrunk again until it disappeared completely, and the game finally entered the finale.

"Well, I'm very happy."

Hua Lin nodded, and a smile slowly appeared on her emotionless face.

"It's great to be with our seniors in the end. Let the system decide our ranking."

【Winner winner chicken dinner! 】

【Congratulations to Asuna Ichinose for winning the game! 】

The reduction of the safe zone seemed to be centered on Asuna. Under the "absolute random number" calculation provided by the black server, the big golden retriever was placed on the throne of Kivotos.

Moreover, Ichinose also won the hearts of the people. Even at the last moment, she did not betray her friend. Instead, she used the "royal way" to make Karin choose to wait for the decision of fate.

Luck and strength are both indispensable.

"...As expected, this is the result. Senior's luck is really unreasonable."

Hua Lin didn't feel much regret. She did her best and found a balance between love and friendship - at least better than Nero.

"Eh? Did I eat chicken? Yay!"

The long golden hair spread out like a waterfall in the sunlight.

That lively joy infected Nero and Karin, and also made Hina, who was standing and waking up, seem to be in a better mood.

Just because of a 4-minute fainting, she missed the opportunity that she had worked so hard for... She felt very sorry.

But... the president must have the responsibility of being the president:

"Congratulations, Ichinose-san. The 'departure ceremony' will be held at 19:1 p.m. the following evening. Please prepare a baggage weighing no more than ton and go to the Xialai Office to wait for your call."

With a trace of blood still on her head, Hinata slowly and solemnly saluted the big golden retriever: "Please, please help us bring back news about the teacher."

150. Sea Patrol Ranger

In addition to Topa's team, several other waves of people arrived at the space station one after another.

However, although there are some company personnel among these people, the majority is not as powerful as the investment department, and they are not here to call for punishment. They simply come here on this festive day to flatter Black Tower, and may also want to flatter Kong at the same time.

From the way these people were crowding into the space station, Kong finally understood how serious the so-called "synesthesia beacon was seriously disturbed by the star core" was.

No news of the Legion's attack on the space station had reached these visitors. The information had only spread in a few directions, like branches extending in one direction.

Therefore, Kong began to wonder whether he should expand the other functions of the Navigator's Potion... For example, to provide a simple communication function other than positioning to assist the Synesthesia Beacon, so that the old man's invention would not be too affected by the Cancer of All Worlds.

He told this idea to Esta and Topa, and also asked Black Tower and Screw, but got almost the same answer -

That is not the case yet.

The effect of the navigator's potion has spread across the stars, and in just a few days, the company has re-established contact with the world that was once looming through these potions. The new star map that spreads out like a spider web with Pierpoint as the center is so dazzling that the Strategic Department has regained control of many "provincial governors". After all, in this era, in addition to the power of the star gods, there is still the concept of "discover and destroy". The lost world will not be lost forever, and the discovered world will always be located by a navigator.

Since Louis's retirement, the company's power map has never been as clear as it is now, and it will remain clear as long as the Navigator's compound continues to be supplied.

All of Kong's friends are worried that too many compound functions will lead to social intolerance... Sometimes continuous technological progress will expand people's desires and exceed the tolerance of civilization.

Kong had also seen civilizations that had mastered advanced technology but died in arrogance. He agreed with this and decided not to make any unnecessary optimizations to the development of the mixture for the time being. Perhaps one day he would go a step further, but not now.

"The next meeting is... Mr. Yuyun and the Sea Patrol Ranger he recommended, a total of three people."

Ester looked at the guest list - she also made a small notebook for Sora to record his daily schedule, but unlike Belfa, who was in charge of nightlife, Ester wanted to control Sora's daytime...

Perhaps this indirectly exposed their strong desire for control. Kong did not indulge them, but just thought that this would improve his work efficiency in the short term.

When the day comes that they cross the line, we can just give them a brief warning. We are all smart people and won't get into a situation where we can't let go.

"Let them come, I have prepared all the gifts."

"Then I'll take my leave first~?"

Topa was beaming with joy as he held Pepe, who had come running in at some point. Strangely enough, Pepe actually allowed Topa to touch him and even hug him, even though whenever Sora wanted to hug Pepe, the other would nimbly dodge his way.

The neglected Zhangzhang - the creature from the rift world, or the dimensional piggy bank, the little guy that looked like a pig and a piggy bank hummed in dissatisfaction, grabbing Topa's shoes with its two front paws, as if protesting against her fickle behavior.

Normally, it would avoid Topa's crazy sucking behavior, but today Topa found a substitute, and it seemed to be quite uncomfortable with it.

"Okay, okay, we can be intimate every day, but I can only catch Pepe sucking once or twice. Be good and don't be jealous, okay?"

Even his own pets can be used for PUA. Kong shook his head and thought that it would be fun to leave the job to Topa.

"Then we'll see you at the dinner, Miss, Doctor!"

"See you tonight."

In fact, there was less than an hour left before dinner. Topa had not avoided suspicion during the previous waves of visitors, and it seemed that her departure now was not out of "self-awareness", but because she was more sensitive to the organization of Sea Patrol Rangers.

Strange, did Topa ever have a conflict with the rangers... I can only ask her later.

After Topa left, Esta was waiting at the door. Kong was wondering why Esta acted like a housekeeper. He was about to tease her, but she said, "Debt collectors always have conflicts with others. Topa has also used bills to deprive others of their freedom. Maybe he had a grudge against the ranger during a mission."

"Is that so?"

Sora held up his face helplessly: "But it's okay, Esta, my relationship with them will not be simply influenced by the interests of any party... I have always been more Buddhist when it comes to matters other than my own interests."

"But the justice of the Sea Patrol is very self-centered. Sora, you must be careful. Perhaps some of your normal business practices may be considered 'evil' by them."
