Chapter 887: Two-Dimensional

PS: There will be an Easter egg tomorrow noon, right after this chapter.

Main text:

"Luo Bao, your skin seems to be getting better and better."

Wen Xia was on the bed, stroking Luo Quan's thigh.

Compared to the last time she stroked it, Luo Quan's thigh had obviously become smoother, and the feel had improved quite a bit.

"I don't even know what's the point of stroking this thing." Luo Quan rolled her eyes at Wen Xia and pulled her leg back.

Every time this young lady sighed about time flying and beauty fading, she would come here to seek a sense of recognition.

Last time it was stroking the arm, this time stroking the thigh; wouldn't it be stroking the butt next time?

This unhealthy trend must not be allowed to grow and must be stopped immediately.

"You haven't answered me yet; why can you keep growing in reverse?" Wen Xia looked longingly at Luo Quan's chest; fortunately, the scale here hadn't changed.

"Probably because I'm a good person."

Luo Quan shook her head and sighed: "I have always been keen on charity, helping many children with blood loss and difficult families. As the saying goes, good deeds have good rewards. I have done so many good deeds, so growing in reverse is also a very normal thing."

"Then I haven't donated less money either." Wen Xia spread her hands. "Why don't I have treatment like yours?"

"You're asking me?" Luo Quan blinked, smiling very irresponsibly: "Then who should I ask?"

Wen Xia crossed her arms and pouted at her.

Luo Quan finally couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. The so-called growing in reverse is actually just your illusion. For a master like me who practices martial arts every day and absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, my skin will definitely become smooth and fair.

And didn't I give you whitening skincare cream before? That thing should be quite easy to use."

"It is indeed effective." Wen Xia nodded gently. "But it's not a long-term solution either. There will always be a time when it runs out. Won't it return to its original shape once you stop using it?"

Wen Xia knew this was a trial version sent back by Luo Quan's third aunt, which hadn't been officially released yet. The quantity was limited, and there were many girls in the family, so one person couldn't get many bottles; using a little meant a little less.

So although there was still quite a lot now, she knew it would run out sooner or later.

And Luo Quan, who heard Wen Xia's words, smiled.

Actually, this was simply skincare cream she redeemed from the mall, just borrowing the name of her third aunt.

With her current popularity value, she could redeem as much of this skincare cream as she wanted.

"You can rest assured one hundred and twenty percent." Luo Quan patted Wen Xia on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have plenty of this stuff; just come to me when you run out. Even if you take it as breakfast every day, I can feed you until you're full!"

"Really!" Wen Xia's eyes sparkled again.

Luo Quan shook her head helplessly: "When have I ever lied to you?

By the way, I wasn't joking when I said absorbing spiritual energy can make you beautiful. If your martial arts improve, it will definitely make you look younger. Even at the age of forty, it's not impossible to look like you're in your early twenties."

"Understood, I'm going back to my room to practice martial arts now!" After Wen Xia finished speaking, she returned to her room in high spirits.

After seeing her friend leave, Luo Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This melon-headed woman Wen Xia is good at everything, but she seems to care particularly about this aging thing, very afraid that one day she will wake up and find a wrinkle on her face, or one day look in the mirror and see an extra circle of fat on her waist.

Of course, these are not unsolvable problems.

When the System Mall upgrades one day, she can easily redeem long-acting anti-aging drugs.

Actually, she can redeem them now, but they require long-term use, and the effect isn't particularly immediate.

Originally, when she was at Flower Fruit Mountain, she was looking forward to it being a place with particularly dense spiritual energy, which could allow the Anywhere Door to be quickly filled with energy, but it turned out to be not much different from her own home, just that the air was fresher.

And Luo Quan felt that the essence of the Buddha bone relic in that pool should be enough, but unfortunately, she couldn't control those essences, which were forcibly injected into her body and passed on two sets of martial arts; it could only be said that there were advantages and disadvantages.

Two days later, Luo Quan was forced to get up early again to participate in the second round of the no-holds-barred fighting competition.

By today, the Olympic Games had already produced dozens of gold medals, and the schedule was almost halfway through.

There had been some controversies regarding the referees, but overall, it was still better than the one in Rio, and there were no particularly outrageous rulings.

Currently, China's gold medal count was temporarily in the first position, but the medal count was lagging behind the United States.

However, there were quite a few voices in the country saying that one shouldn't be happy too early, because there were still quite a few of the United States' strong events like track and field and swimming that hadn't been competed yet; once they were all finished, the rankings would change.

Luo Quan felt it was outrageous. Since they knew that the rankings would change after others finished competing, shouldn't they be happy while they were first in gold medals now, rather than waiting until others reversed the situation to be happy?

She didn't know if these people were truly rational or intended to not want to see their own people do well.

"Quarter-finals, the opponent is a young lady from the Holy See, preparing..."

Bored while waiting backstage, Luo Quan posted a status update while eating a banana.

Luo Quan's fans seemed to be in an active state no matter when; the status posted at six in the morning still broke two thousand comments in ten minutes:

"A young nun from the Holy See, just hearing this description makes me feel she's so beautiful, with a kind of holy and pure beauty."

"I, a mouse, like beautiful young ladies the most."

"If you all don't want Luo Quan, then I won't be polite."

"By the way, how is Luo Bao's new album preparation going? I've been looking forward to it."

………………

Seeing the fans' inquiries, Luo Quan thought that since the songs were about to be released anyway, she could appropriately spoil them now, so she replied in the comment section: "The preparation is not bad; they are all some relatively two-dimensional songs."

"Is it a song like 'Unravel'? I still have a fresh memory of Luo Bao's god-level live performance at Tokyo University back then."

"Does that mean it's the type of anime OP or ED?"

"I feel the definition of two-dimensional shouldn't be so narrow; it's more like a kind of atmosphere."

………………

The fans' last answer made Luo Quan feel deeply touched, and she immediately replied below: "This is what I want to say. Two-dimensional is a kind of atmosphere—passionate, sad, melancholy, moving, joyful. It helps us escape reality and find moving moments in fantasy.

In layman's terms, it is to enrich and beautify our dreams."

Once these words were spoken, the fans were immediately deeply touched:

"I understand the logic, but why do you want to break my fantasy? Two-dimensional is not a dream, wuwuwu~~~"

"Luo Bao, your words are so hurtful."

"Haha, is this broken defense already?"

"Quite looking forward to what Luo Quan's two-dimensional songs are this time, hope they come out soon."

"The money is already prepared; I'll place the order as soon as the pre-order comes out."

"Same, but I'm buying the digital version."

………………

This time Luo Quan didn't reply, because it was her turn to go on stage.

This time her opponent was Sister Daisika from the Holy See.

Daisika wasn't much older than her, and compared to those gentle and weak nuns, Daisika's figure was undoubtedly much stronger, looking like those middleweight fighters in the UFC, with muscles all over her body.

Of course, this body type belonged to a very fit one abroad and was quite popular with men.

If it weren't for the wide nun's robe covering more of her good figure, Daisika should have been able to make more men cheer for her good figure.

As for Luo Quan, the fact that she was a heartthrob was known to everyone on Earth, and there was no need to elaborate on how good her figure was; the nickname "walking dream" was not just blowing smoke.

"You were able to defeat Green; I am not your opponent."

Daisika showed weakness to Luo Quan as soon as she came up, which really caught her off guard.

"No need to be so self-deprecating; we haven't fought yet, who knows the result." Luo Quan smiled slightly and said modestly.

Daisika shook her head: "You actually don't need to say such polite words. Everyone knows the gap between us in their hearts. Adeline, who was defeated by you before, was an insurmountable hurdle in my view, let alone you.

However, the reason I didn't admit defeat immediately is just because I feel that the opportunity to spar with a master like you is truly rare, so I want to see to what extent I can perform.

So, please go all out!"

Daisika's words sounded pleasant, but Luo Quan didn't tell her that she hadn't gone all out when fighting Adeline either.

Now that she had returned from Flower Fruit Mountain and her strength had improved to a higher level, it was even more impossible to go all out.

But the truth is sometimes hurtful, so Luo Quan didn't intend to tell her the truth.

And Daisika soon got the result she wanted. After the match started, she only lasted twenty seconds before being defeated under Luo Quan's dense, raindrop-like punches.

During this period, Daisika didn't even launch a single effective attack against Luo Quan, completely in a passive defensive posture, and the scene was one-sided.

"Winner, Luo Quan!"

The referee saw Luo Quan's fist stop five centimeters from Daisika's nose, while Daisika was already stunned in place, knowing the result of this match, so he quickly announced it.

"The gap... is actually this big." Daisika only then came back to her senses, looking at Luo Quan and letting out a sigh.

Luo Quan didn't say much, cupped her hands to her, and turned to prepare to return to the hotel to sleep.

The reason she left so hurriedly was because she saw that the reporters were already eager to intercept her.

Last time she wasn't intercepted, but this time, as soon as the reporters saw the match end, they ran to the backstage. If they were fast enough, they could catch her before Luo Quan left the venue.

Sure enough, just as Luo Quan finished packing her things, she was blocked by reporters backstage.

This time she knew she couldn't hide, so she could only go up to accept the interview.

"Thank God, finally found you, Miss Springwater."

The lead reporter looked lucky and put the microphone in front of Luo Quan: "May I ask if you have time for a brief interview?"

"Well, although I really want to go back to the hotel to sleep, since you are all here, I will stand for an interview before going back to sleep." Luo Quan yawned and rubbed her face, wanting to make herself clearer.

"I am a reporter from Tokyo TV. We really want to know what your opinion is on this Olympic opening ceremony?

Several well-known Japanese directors are extremely dissatisfied with this opening ceremony performance, even cursing, I don't know how you see it?"

The Tokyo TV reporter looked at Luo Quan with burning eyes, as if encouraging her to say some explosive remarks, so that today's ratings would be guaranteed.

"You ask me how I see it? Of course, I see it with my phone."

Luo Quan laughed and made a joke, then said: "Actually, how the opening ceremony was held, you can tell by looking at the public's comments online; there's no need to ask me."

"So you also feel that this opening ceremony is very bad?" The Tokyo TV reporter pursued relentlessly.

Luo Quan hurriedly raised both hands: "This is what you said yourself; I haven't said such words."

"Another question, what do you think of the nickname 'Abyss Abyssal Bawanghua'?"

Luo Quan's face turned black when she heard this question; this was a case of "which pot to open and which pot to lift."

"First of all, I don't know which talent came up with such a nickname. Looking at it with your simple aesthetic, is this nickname really good?"

At least I am the world's most beautiful for four sessions; if you take a nickname, you have to take a better-sounding one. This nickname is really too ugly."

Luo Quan rarely expressed her likes and dislikes in front of news reporters, but this time she really couldn't bear it.

The disgusting degree of "Abyss Abyssal Bawanghua" was comparable to "Abyss Giant Mouth." If she knew who took it, there would definitely be no good juice for them!

The reporter also deeply agreed: "Speaking of which, it is indeed quite ugly. Many netizens online also feel it doesn't match you at all, so if you want to change one, what nickname would you take?"

"Let me take it myself..." Luo Quan lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "It's very simple, just call it 'Goddess', isn't that enough?"

This was probably the most common way netizens called her—Goddess, or more accurately, Luo Goddess.

If someone called her that when she first debuted, she would feel a bit ashamed; as for now, Luo Quan felt she should be able to bear it.

And the reporters, after hearing Luo Quan's simple and rude answer, after thinking carefully, all nodded: "Goddess seems quite good. If you add a few words, such as 'Goddess once in five thousand years,' it would have more flavor."

"Ah, this..." Luo Quan wanted to ask, are you sure this isn't a black nickname?

But looking at the serious appearance of the reporters, she could only say: "As long as you are happy, actually just 'Goddess' is enough. If you think I'm too exaggerated or too flashy, that's fine, but please don't call me 'Abyss Abyssal Bawanghua' in the future."

"Rest assured, regarding this part, we will definitely report it with emphasis." The reporters all made promises to Luo Quan.

But whether it can be realized, the ghost knows; I hope there won't be any more moths.

The brief interview lasted for more than ten minutes. After finishing, Luo Quan took a car back to the hotel.

After setting it to "Do Not Disturb," she immediately fell onto the bed.

Clearly her physique had already improved, but staying up late and getting up early still made her feel sleepy.

Sure enough, staying up late is really harmful to the body. ===== CHAPTER 888 =====
