Chapter 460: Flirting

Arriving at the second floor, Dita and Arths had already arrived. The moment their gazes met, they locked onto each other. It was becoming increasingly difficult for the famous Li Hao to go on secret dates with A Youyou, and merely talking on the phone was not enough to soothe the pain of longing.

Dita waved her hand, signaling everyone to sit down, and pursed her lips at Arths, "Look, this one is here for a free meal, you all don't mind, right? Knife."

Everyone laughed. After a few encounters, facing Arths felt much more relaxed. Success is what brings the most confidence, and they were, after all, finalists now.

Li Hao was arranged by Dita to sit next to Arths. In truth, everyone could see that Her Highness Arths was very interested in Li Hao, and there were indeed many people interested in Li Hao right now.

The food was delicious. Because of Arths's presence, everyone was very excited. Dita, on the other hand, chatted freely. She had never dreamed that Tianjing Mecha could defeat Galaxy and enter the finals. She caught Zhou Naiyi and chatted wildly; her style was too similar to Zhou Naiyi's. She herself had fallen early, while Zhou Naiyi had made it to the finals—she was truly envious.

With Arths present, Zuo Xiaotang did not speak, and Ma Laoshi was exceptionally restrained. Although he claimed to be a master of the dating scene and a master of the fish pond, in front of Arths, he was just a small fry. If she were merely a super idol, that would be one thing, but beneath her gentle appearance, she would occasionally reveal the aura of a fleet commander—it was truly amazing. It was just that the way Arths looked at Hao Ge was a bit strange.

Could it be his own illusion?

Dita was actually just creating an opportunity for the two to meet. There was no help for it; both were in the spotlight. If they were accidentally discovered by the media, she and Su Yu would be in trouble. But she couldn't withstand A Youyou's pestering, so she came up with this trick. The waiters who served the food had all left, and they were barely making do under the cover of the two teams.

A Youyou's breathtaking Starry Eyes were occasionally filled with tenderness, which made old classmate Li a bit uneasy, and it made Dita's heart jump with fear—don't cause trouble, please don't!

Under the table, A Youyou pulled Li Hao's hand. Li Hao resisted with restraint for a moment, and then they held on tightly... A Youyou playfully scratched Li Hao's palm, and Li Hao's Steel Will instantly disintegrated. The two began to hook their little fingers, entwined in a hundred ways.

Zhou Naiyi also didn't let the opportunity pass to probe Dita about the situation with Hailong. She could feel Dita's closeness to Tianjing Mecha, and Dita didn't hide much; in fact, except for Li Xiangshan, Hailong was now essentially brand new, and from the current situation, it would be very difficult for Tianjing Mecha to climb over the mountain that was Hailong.

"Hailong is truly fierce. It was already evident during the Mid-Season Tournament, but I didn't expect them to be this powerful. Actually, if you ask me, you'd be better off asking Li Hao. He is the Mawang from that place, a very formidable existence. Many idols of the masses are his defeated opponents, right, Li Zong!" Dita coughed a few times.

Damn these little actions. This pair was acting as if no one else was around. This was a team gathering, not a secret rendezvous for two. Pay attention to decorum... and other people's feelings.

"That's not it. Actually, the key is still Zuoge's performance. If he can defeat Anlita, we still have a chance," Li Hao said.

"Ah, Anlita?" Zuo Xiaotang was startled when he suddenly heard the name Anlita. He only then reacted and hurriedly waved his hands, "I can't beat her."

"Don't say that. I feel like Zuo Xiaotang has a chance. It's not the same type. If the combat environment is suitable, a surprise shot might actually give him a chance. But you have to be braver, don't be a coward!" Dita said. Although she was a Moon Person, deep down she really hoped to see a different kind of reversal.

Zuo Xiaotang couldn't help but scratch his head, after all, he was in front of a goddess, "It's not that I'm a coward, it's mainly that her Golden Zone realm is too far ahead of mine."

"That is exactly why your heavy sniper has room to perform."

"How is it? Are you confident?" A Youyou leaned toward Li Hao and asked. To her and Li Hao, it was a natural action, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was a bit intimate, after all, the two... were not that familiar.

"Can't say there's none, we haven't competed yet, have we?" Li Hao smiled slightly.

"Liar. You must have a plan," A Youyou pouted. She didn't believe him; the senior was best at bluffing.

"Even if I have a plan, it's a secret. I can't tell you," Li Hao shook his head.

A Youyou was unhappy. This person was really something. As she spoke, she pinched Li Hao's thigh under the table.

Classmate Li Hao desperately maintained his smile. Aiyouyou, this is causing trouble! But what could he do? He could only endure it.

Everyone else was also chatting, but they weren't blind. They felt the interest and closeness Goddess Arths had toward Li Hao. This... was normal... and yet very abnormal.

If one said Li Hao's performance was good and had a certain appeal, that was possible, but given Arths's status, this point didn't seem quite enough. Could it be that because of Li Hao's relatively conventional appearance, he was actually more attractive?

In fact, everyone also felt that Li Hao and Arths were chatting closely. At first, they were a bit reserved, but later they began to chat about their own topics as if no one else was around.

Ma Laoshi was filled with emotion. He could see that Arths had a considerable fondness for Hao Ge. Honestly, a girl being interested in a boy is a very important step in starting a relationship, which meant Hao Ge already possessed a certain possibility.

But, it was still a pity. Hao Ge's level couldn't handle this. Besides, he already had a girlfriend; these were all fatal weaknesses.

However, thinking about it, a year ago, who would have thought that everyone could be sitting at a table laughing and talking with Arths.

Because of Arths's arrival, it felt like the chefs here were performing beyond their level, but because of Arths's presence, it seemed their taste buds weren't working that well either.

Ma Long ultimately couldn't control his mouth and asked the question everyone was quite curious about, "Her Highness Arths, what kind of person do you like?"

It wasn't just Ma Long who was curious; probably all of Arths's fans around the world were very curious. Zuo Xiaotang was also waiting with his round eyes. As a veteran hardcore fan, he wasn't the type who thought a goddess must remain single.

Dita coughed a few times, "Ma Long, a grown man shouldn't be so gossipy!"

Ma Laoshi's thick skin wouldn't care about such questioning, "Just asking out of curiosity."

Arths suddenly blinked, looked at Li Hao on the side, "Team Leader Li Hao, do you have a girlfriend?"

The dining table suddenly went quiet. Regardless of what Arths meant by the question, the question itself carried great lethality.

Li Hao slapped his chest fiercely, "I'm so handsome, of course I do!"

Arths gently pursed her soft lips, and her Starry Eyes nodded with a smile, "What a pity."

777.

Ma Long looked at Li Hao's smug, husky-like expression and felt like he had missed out on ten billion.

The finals hadn't started yet, but comparisons regarding the two teams were already unfolding among professionals on major platforms.

Vanguard position:

Hailong Team is undoubtedly Klein, Abyss Mantis Spirit, a speed-type Warrior, skilled with the Phantom Fighter, and is currently the most terrifying player when it comes to reaping.

On the Tianjing Mecha side, everyone still thinks Cheng Konghai is more suitable as the Vanguard, Deep Space Ant Spirit, a strength-type Warrior, skilled with Iron Armor Steel Fist. His Iron Armor Steel Fist has become a representative of aesthetic violence.

Both of these people are top-tier attackers besides the team leaders. It's a duel of speed and strength, and their Golden Zone equivalents are comparable. Judging from their performance along the way, Klein is slightly better. On one hand, assassin-type Mecha are difficult to counter, and on the other hand, Hailong's opponents weren't as perverted as Tianjing Mecha, and their preparations weren't as thorough. Cheng Konghai is very powerful, but along the way, he has lost twice, both times due to targeted destruction of his Mecha. This is also a problem for Heavy Armor; even if the Iron Armor Steel Fist is in the Spirit, its own limit speed and agility are definitely not as good as the Light Type.

If the Phantom Fighter and Iron Armor Steel Fist collide, it's a battle of rhythm. Whoever controls the rhythm will win the match. In the S Tournament voting, Klein is slightly ahead of Cheng Konghai by a narrow margin, mainly because Cheng Konghai lost points for being successfully countered by Vulcan and Galaxy Team.

Second point contention.

On the Tianjing Mecha side, the best candidate everyone gave is Zuo Xiaotang. The Sniper God is a loose cannon; when he's fierce, he's truly fierce, especially since he's not easily countered. The outcome is undecided, and he's a toss-up against anyone.

On the Hailong Team side, the second point given is Anlita, Abyss Yadie, the sexy goddess. She crushes Zuo Xiaotang at the Golden Zone level and is one of the five highest-level players in this S Tournament. Ye Tong, representing Earth Ancient Martial Arts, had no power to resist in her hands, and her unique way of fighting with Space Ability is currently unsolvable. Whether it's Black Ice Power or Space Ability, either one is top-tier. So it depends on whether Zuo Xiaotang can display his miraculous marksmanship, but if he gets caught by Anlita, then there's no saving him.

But in any case, everyone feels that to deal with Anlita, Zuo Xiaotang is the most suitable.

In the ratings, Anlita is an eight-to-two favorite over Zuo Xiaotang.

On the third strategic point, Hailong Team has given Li Xiangshan. Brother Shan from the Moon has finally ushered in his spring. Throughout the S Tournament, Li Xiangshan has also received much attention. As the Warrior with the oldest seniority and face on the Moon, his popularity is also quite high. At first, he felt slighted, and many people were indignant, especially when Li Xiangshan displayed his power, which also made many people despise Xilian's pay-to-win attributes. But in the battle against North Caro, everyone was convinced by Xilian. This isn't some pay-to-win; this is truly a Son of God, the heir of the Meraphis Family. He could have just coasted to victory, but he insisted on relying on talent. The arrangement and position for Li Xiangshan were therefore a matter of course.

As the most famous Heavy Armor on the Moon, the technically comprehensive Li Xiangshan is definitely a strong point wherever he is.

On the Tianjing Mecha side, they have given Wuzang. Wuzang has become the final representative of the Ancient Martial Family. He has stumbled along the way, had flashes of brilliance, and also had various failures. But in terms of strength, Wuzang is actually first-class, but not top-tier. However, what leaves a deep impression on everyone is his resilience, never admitting defeat, and always full of passion for the team. This kind of passion can infect everyone, but matches don't rely solely on passion and will. Wuzang still belongs to the type that accumulates over time; the longer it takes, the more he shines. It feels like the future will be his world, but currently, he is still at a disadvantage.

In this match, Wuzang versus Li Xiangshan, it's a four-to-six split.
