Chapter 244: The Two-Person World with No One Else Around
A Youyou and Su Yu were still on the return spaceship. Su Yu had also received family training since she was young, but her Golden Gene was relatively average, and her Mental Power was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person. A Youyou's Mental Power might have surged again due to this mutation, and her level had already surpassed the vast majority of professionally trained Mobile Suit pilots. A Mental Blast lurker—this was truly, truly terrifying.
It was just that A Youyou did not need the power of combat.
Actually, when she came, she had been a bit worried and didn't want to let A Youyou go. Fortunately, it was a close call without any real danger, and this experience had also caused A Youyou's inspiration to explode, resulting in two masterpieces. The EMP officials had already contacted her many times for the S Tournament endorsement. Although both sides benefited in terms of popularity, many professionals criticized A Youyou for being a mere vase, saying that neither her image nor her song style matched the S Tournament at all, which also brought a lot of negative influence to Arths. However, this song, Triumph, directly slaughtered all competitors.
"A Youyou, what do you think about the S Tournament endorsement? Their sincerity is great, and the endorsement fee has now tripled," Su Yu asked. It was clear that A Youyou had not been affected by the Kepler incident at all. Not only that, her eyes were filled with excitement and joy. Clearly, this was not just because of the creation of the songs, but also because of that Li Hao.
The two had been talking on the phone a lot recently. Su Yu actually could not interfere too much in A Youyou's personal emotions. Taking A Youyou away from Tianjing last time was already the limit, and that was only because they were family; this was respect.
She knew that A Youyou must have her own thoughts and judgments, but she really didn't understand what was so good about that Li Hao, who looked so ordinary.
Furthermore, how could such an ordinary person bear the affections of Arths?
What a headache.
"Aunt, I also have a feeling for the MVs of these two songs," A Youyou said with a happy smile. When she went to Kepler, she was full of worries; when she left, she was full of joy. She planned to go to Earth to find Li Hao the first moment she returned to the Moon.
"My girl, you should be more careful. You didn't listen to a single word I just said," Su Yu said helplessly.
A Youyou shook Su Yu's arm, "Aunt, you are the best. You have to trust my vision and judgment."
"Don't give me that double entendre; I don't understand it, and I don't know it. You handle it yourself, but you must, must not cause any trouble, otherwise no one can protect him."
The vast Daliven Family only had one absolute heir in each generation. Su Yu did not know how they were chosen, but the Patriarch of each generation ensured the long-lasting prosperity of the Daliven Family. And the moment A Youyou was born, she was destined to be extraordinary. Of course, only management cores like Su Yu knew this; even people like Dita only knew that A Youyou was very favored.
A Youyou smiled without saying a word. What is Senior doing?
"Hey, hey, wake up!" Su Yu was speechless, "You are Arths, the goddess of countless people in the Solar System. How can you be like a little lovesick girl? My god!"
Su Yu covered her forehead. She had also been in love before, had been devoted, and had been crazy, but even in her most devoted time, she had never been like this. Moreover, she had always thought A Youyou was very clear-headed...
What kind of special skill does that Li Hao have?
"Aunt, I want to apply for a military academy!" A Youyou suddenly said.
Su Yu jumped up, "What, a military academy? Don't you love music? What kind of military academy??!!"
"This trip to Kepler made me feel that I can't just keep playing for myself. In the past, I only thought that soldiers were just for fighting, and I didn't have a very intuitive feeling. When we were attacked this time, it was they who fought to protect us. There are always people carrying the burden forward, so I want to apply for a military academy," A Youyou said. "Don't you think Mobile Suit pilots are especially cool?" Su Yu did not argue too much and looked at A Youyou carefully, "Don't pretend with me. Is there any other reason? And I don't have any say in this matter!"
"You guys have always thought that my doing music is not a proper job. Aunt, Grandfather will definitely ask for your opinion. When that time comes, you must stand on my side. Besides, I don't want to be a vase. I want to apply for the Starship Department. Music is a hobby, not my goal. Don't you think I would look great in a silver CaptainUniform?" A Youyou struck a cool pose.
Su Yu patted her forehead, "I'm going crazy. I don't know anything. My head hurts. I need to rest for a while. You be quiet too. Before we return to the Moon, don't have any more wild ideas. My wrinkles are coming out."
Su Yu went to rest; staying any longer felt like she would explode. As soon as Su Yu left, A Youyou couldn't wait to open Li Hao's SkyCom.
The others were training, and Team Leader Li was daydreaming. His SkyCom vibrated, he glanced at it, and he became energetic in a flash. He scanned it, and then he slipped away in a flash.
"Senior, what are you doing?"
A Youyou's sweet voice rang out.
"Our team is training. I'm working super hard."
Li Hao thought he was being stealthy, but Sheng Man and the others saw it all. They were all experienced people, but no one pointed it out. Tan Ziyuan was the calmest one, perhaps because she had always prepared herself mentally.
"Oh, I wonder if Team Leader has any spare time to lend me a little bit." A Youyou gently bit her lip, looking at Li Hao with longing eyes.
If it weren't for the N light-years between them, the two would have been stuck together long ago. Love is like two people pulling a rubber band; the further apart they are, the stronger the gravitational pull.
"I do, I do. I'm just an idle person."
A Youyou smiled very happily, "I plan to interpret the combat scenes of Mobile Suits in my Triumph MV. Some parts need some cool action close-ups. Can Team Leader show me a few moves?"
"Leave it to me," Li Hao said, patting his chest.
"Then Team Leader must perform well. If you lose, it will damage your glorious image."
Student Li Hao naturally had to tell his brothers, using the excuse that he was going to EMP to train and find his groove. He completely failed to see the looks everyone was giving him, especially Huo Ying, who was exceptionally resentful. Why could a straight man like the team leader find a girlfriend, when he was so handsome...
As soon as one entered the EMP Hall of Tianjing Martial Arts, Triumph was playing. It had to be said that this song was truly amazing. It was so catchy that one instantly felt like entering the battlefield to fight three hundred rounds. In the climax, A Youyou's backing vocals were like the finishing touch; that voice that pierced the Spirit made one's blood boil uncontrollably.
Invincible!
Li Hao happily found a room, entered the EMP battlefield, and added A Youyou's account.
A Youyou's account ID was actually "Aiyouyou".
A Youyou was online and waiting. With a ding, a friend request arrived. Dita had said Li Hao was "very strong," and his performance during the Udyr time was still fresh in her memory. A Youyou was not simply loving the house and its crow, but truly felt that Li Hao had a unique charm when fighting. She couldn't quite explain it, but she always felt he had a story.
???!
Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...
A Youyou's heart also beat uncontrollably. For a second, she had thought about it, but it felt too unbelievable. Having watched the Puppet's matches, she felt the same taste in the Puppet as she did in Li Hao: loneliness, yet buried with passion.
This mysterious opponent who made the entire NUP feel like they were facing a great enemy, and who was considered a stumbling block to the NUP's great cause of three consecutive championships, was actually...
Well, it didn't seem too surprising. A Youyou still revealed a smug smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Aiyouyou, what do you want to see? A duel, a challenge, or what?"
"Puppet master hides so deep. How would this little girl dare to make requests?" A Youyou teased.
"In front of the goddess Arths, how would I dare to call myself a master?" Li Hao did not show weakness. Fortunately, Dita was not there, otherwise she would have been fed full by the tug-of-war between this pair.
"Hmph, stingy. We're even. Second Brother, I want to see a team battle!" A Youyou said. She still had some inspiration for the layout of the entire MV and needed to feel the atmosphere.
Whenever A Youyou used this form of address, it meant she was in a particularly good mood, and Li Hao naturally had to show something.
After the Puppet defeated the Lone Wolf Romero, he disappeared for a long time, causing countless Puppet Fans to call out and check in on the Puppet's personal space every day. This had become a part of their lives.
And as soon as the masterpiece Triumph appeared, some fans suddenly had a flash of inspiration and began to edit the Puppet's match videos with Triumph as the background music. Although it was just a wild version, it still made countless people tear up. The already incredibly exciting battles were instantly injected with a Spirit.
The ultimate combination of two fields forged a myth.
At this time, in the live broadcast room of a high-level technical streamer in the uSE, the streamer was passionately summarizing the match, "Brothers, you all know that I rarely tell others how accurate my marksmanship is, and few people know that I was the best Sniper on Earth in S8. Actually, my sniping level is just okay; there are still people better than me. I never care about my shooting level; I always prioritize the team. Humility is my greatest virtue!"
Zhi She was a former S Tournament player for the uSE, a famous Sniper, especially good at taking potshots, with precise marksmanship and good intuition. Now he was a professional streamer.
"666, Brother She is truly the most humble person I have ever seen. He repeats it a hundred times every live stream, afraid that Earthlings don't know it."
"I just watch you to help me eat my meals every day."
"The last round was okay, 70% effective hit rate, 6 hits, quite good, technical streamer."
"Don't say that, Brother She will get carried away."
"Haha, thanks for the support, brothers. I have really improved in terms of technique, but I can't play in the S Tournament. Technique is only a part of it. I'm afraid I can't even pass the Mid-Season Tournament with my physical fitness, willpower, and resilience. You might not know that the Mid-Season Tournament is not a simple competition, but a Mid-Season Training, which is an intensive military training, the highest intensity test for the body, willpower, and all other aspects," Zhi She said while looking at the comments, "Those who can finally get a ranking, it's no exaggeration to say, are all monsters. This year is especially terrifying. The appearance of the Golden Zone has made the tests for the mental system exceptionally shocking."
"Puppet? Holy crap, that's the existence that defeated Lone Wolf. Strong, he is truly strong. Although I haven't seen him in the S Tournament yet, his strength is beyond doubt. He is probably the only outlier, and he remains unfathomable even now. Among all the Warriors who have appeared this year, he is at the very front. And the scary thing about him is that, besides melee combat, he also has a marksmanship that he hasn't really shown off in actual combat. In my eyes, this person's shooting feel can be called terrifying... Brothers, I am really not a Puppet fanboy, you know me, it's just that this person makes me have to be superstitious. I've at least played in the S Tournament main event, and I've never seen such psychological quality and technique. The only variable this year is the unpredictable Golden Zone. I dare to assert that this year's S11 will stage a super confrontation completely different from previous years."
Zhishi talked eloquently, while simultaneously starting to enter a new round of ranking.
