Chapter 377: Knockout Round Bracket

Bzz— Bzz—

Following a wave of the translucent person's big hand, the image on the screen behind shook slightly twice, and then a bracket appeared, with eight people's names and their races.

The bracket was very simple; it was a knockout system of eight into four, four into two, and ultimately determining the first place.

The first match was [Witch Race] Ursula VS [Banshee Race] Angelina Jolie.

The second match was [Witch Race] Elisa VS [Imp Race] Asazono Mitsuaki.

The third match was [Wind Elf] Li Huai VS [Demon Race] Xin Tianle.

And the last match was [Witch Race] Lan Qingyou VS [Void Race] Holger.

Fortunately, they could rest for a bit.

It's just that... this Demon Race guy named Xin Tianle fighting against Li Huai seemed a bit familiar, not his appearance but his name.

"Did you forget? Like you, he is one of the Five Great Scumbags of District 666, Xin Tianle. The one who scammed over a thousand people's supplies and ran away during the first Mana Tide."

"What do you mean 'like me'? I'm just an honest Alchemist doing honest business. Those poor ghosts who can't afford things just fucking love to slap labels on people!"

Reminded by Li Huai, Lan Qingyou instantly remembered who this Xin Tianle, who didn't look like a good person at first glance, was.

But as for Li Huai and the other survivors of District 666 calling her 'one of the Five Great Scumbags', Lan Qingyou had never acknowledged it.

Just kidding.

Isn't exchanging a little magic power for a little magic power the most fair thing?

No one suffers a loss, and no one takes advantage, alright?

[Then, all contestants, please proceed to the Rest Area now. We will begin the first round of eight-into-four knockouts in thirty minutes.]

As the translucent person's androgynous, perhaps not even human voice sounded again, Lan Qingyou and the other seven were instantly teleported from the arena to a brightly lit room.

This was a banquet hall covered with a red carpet and a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

On both sides of the banquet hall, there were long tables covered with white tablecloths.

On top of the long tables, various foods were arranged like a buffet.

From roasted suckling pig to stir-fried greens, from roasted squab to large lobsters, from beer to baijiu... as long as it was a delicacy or fine wine you've seen, it was here.

You could even see what was called junk food like burgers and fries, or deep-fried sweet potato cakes that could evoke memories of the entrance of your childhood school!

There was only what you couldn't think of, nothing you couldn't see.

It really was doing whatever one pleased.

Judging from the voice, that person shouldn't be the World Will 'itself'. Who it was, was unknown; it might even just be a clone.

But this ability to open a space and pull people in anytime and anywhere truly made one yearn for it.

"Hey, is this the Rest Area? It seems the World Will really understands us."

Xin Tianle was the first to recover from the teleportation. With a smile on his lips, he walked up, grabbed a bottle of wine, directly shattered the glass bottle with his shark-like sharp teeth, and poured it into his mouth.

"So rude."

Beside him, the Banshee Angelina Jolie curled her lips. While complaining softly, she swayed her hips, walked past Xin Tianle, and went to get the cake next to the beverage area.

And right at this moment, the corners of Xin Tianle's mouth widened, and he reached out his hand wanting to grab a handful.

For a superior being like him who had evolved, this was as common as eating and drinking.

However, before Xin Tianle's hand could grab on, Angelina Jolie stopped in her tracks.

"If you plan to do that, you'd better have the resolve to be dismembered by me."

"Oh! So strict! That bitch Pansy King really knows how to train people."

Threatened, Xin Tianle withdrew his hand, rubbed his nearly bald head, and spoke with exaggeration.

Obviously, from their conversation, it could be known that even if they weren't familiar, they should at least know each other.

"They always say District 666 produces an abundance of scumbags. Now I finally understand."

Elisa, who had overheard the previous conversation between Lan Qingyou and Li Huai, looked at Xin Tianle and complained.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this kind of place. Tsk tsk, Witches. Back when we huddled together like rats in a stinking gutter to resist the magic turbulence and Mana Tide, you must have been secretly rejoicing at home."

"After all, back then you used your Potions to squeeze a lot of supplies from others."

Seeing Elisa mocking him, Xin Tianle used even more exaggerated body language to turn his taunts towards Lan Qingyou, a household name.

However...

"You're wrong. Whether it was the first magic turbulence or the first Mana Tide, I slept very well, and very sweetly."

Sitting on her Magic Broom, Lan Qingyou answered with unusual seriousness.

Facing Lan Qingyou's serious expression, Xin Tianle, who originally wanted to say something more, opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Facing this scene of punching cotton, Elisa expressed that she was very familiar with it.

"These foods, how come they look so much like they were made on Blue Star, especially those bottles holding the alcohol."

Li Huai ignored this tense scene with swords drawn and bows bent.

He walked out of the group on his own, picked up a bottle of wine, and examined the trademark on it.

"Croatia Winery, the production date is from before we transmigrated."

"Croatia Winery, I've heard of it."

Holger walked up, picked up the same wine bottle to take a look, then put it down and picked up another bottle of mineral water to examine.

"Do you think there's a possibility that these foods are actually things from Blue Star?"

Lan Qingyou slowly floated behind the two and said faintly.

And the two slightly turned around, looking at her with inquiring eyes.

"Have you forgotten the foods we opened from the treasure chests at the very beginning?"

Lan Qingyou shrugged, then turned her head and floated towards the place where the delicacies were placed.

White cut chicken, roast goose, preserved meat claypot rice; from the moment she entered this Rest Area, she immediately spotted these familiar things.

Since it's a Rest Area, she naturally had to enjoy herself well.

At a time like this, eating some sweets first would give her more strength when fighting later.

In passing, Lan Qingyou also took a bottle of Herbal Tea when she left the beverage area.

"Ah~~~ Understood."

With Lan Qingyou saying this, everyone instantly understood.

In the past, right after transmigrating, the shackle treasure chests could produce anything.

If nothing unexpected happened, these things were very likely part of the same batch brought from Blue Star to this world back then.

"It's just unknown if these foods have expired after being kept for so long."

Opening the claypot rice, squinting and smelling the rising steam, Lan Qingyou said nonchalantly.

"Pfft!"

Xin Tianle, who had just poured a mouthful of wine, instantly spat out the wine in his mouth upon hearing Lan Qingyou's words.

Not only that, he even simply threw away the wine bottle in his hand, and stood there dry heaving.
