Chapter 42 Cheek meat, poke!
"Special guest?"
The officer chewed over these four words and repeated them softly.
He raised his eyes and looked into those dark eyes, trying to find out the other person's true intentions.
The daylight did not dodge, but looked at it calmly, with a fearless confidence.
"Yes, but this is just one of them. After all, I have helped your family twice, right?"
"So, I have another request, which is to arrange my seat together with the senior executives. There is no reason, mainly because I always like heights."
After saying this, he nodded in agreement with satisfaction, as if he didn't realize how unreasonable his request was.
It's really rampant.
The officer wanted to laugh, so he lowered his head and pretended to be in deep thought, but he was actually counting the seconds on his headset.
The quality is so good, there is no reason why the clear words spoken during the day cannot be transmitted.
Sure enough, within three seconds, a familiar roar came from the headset, and even the curse words overlapped with the content of the meeting a few days ago.
The officer tilted his ear, as if listening to some serious order, and nodded in tune with the other party. He raised his hand but calmly pressed the headset for a long time and simply hung up the call.
Then, he smoothly made a regretful expression, looked at the young man helplessly and explained: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai Zhou. I'm just a small receptionist and can't make any rash conclusions."
"We are willing to accept your status as a 'special guest', but I'm sorry that we cannot agree to the seating arrangement you mentioned. This is too inconsistent with the rules."
"Of course, we won't neglect you. There will be more suitable seats for you to choose from."
After saying that, he glanced casually out the window, as if his attention was attracted by the birdsong outside, and then quickly turned his gaze away.
"Well, in that case."
Bai Zhou sighed in disappointment, not looking surprised. He lowered his eyelashes, thought for a moment, took out a small dagger from his pocket, and smiled suddenly.
"Then we have no choice but to do this."
"Hmm?" The officer raised his eyebrows and stared at the sharp dagger turning on the young man's fingertips, as if the next cut would cut his hand.
He showed a hesitant expression on his face, and glanced at the red light of the surveillance camera that was once again rapid, and asked:
"Don't let anyone misunderstand what you are going to do."
The dagger stopped in the palm of the hand and was placed on the table by the owner, with the tip of the knife facing inward and pushed gently.
"I'm so sorry. It was a subconscious action. As you can see, I am willing to offer it to add to this year's first prize and make this year's Battle of Zhuolu even more grand."
Bai Zhou retracted his hand, and when the person opposite picked up the dagger and looked at it, he leisurely introduced: "This dagger is a drop I got when I cleared an S-level dungeon. Whether it's entering or leaving the dungeon, or the last letter, I rely on it."
"But I've already used it up to the point where I only have one last chance to use it. I hope you... don't mind."
It turns out that the supernatural item is a dagger like this.
Should I be glad that I hung up? The commander thought. Otherwise, you will definitely hear familiar content again. After all, although the call is closed, the function of transmitting sound is still there.
Even though I had expected it, I still felt awkward after hearing the other party's disapproving words. He dared to say that Bai Zhou was the most unpredictable and most arrogant person he had ever met.
This person has no scruples, his cards are unclear, and he even uses the once-in-a-century drop as a messenger boy. Hiss, when I think about it this way, this dagger originally had two chances, right, and was used as a teleportation talisman not long ago?
Even he couldn't help but sigh with some pain: What a spendthrift.
Not to mention those who are eagerly waiting, you can imagine how angry they will be. Neither of the two quarreling parties gained anything good. Only the sensible party who kept themselves out of trouble won the final victory. They didn't even have to utter a word and got to watch a good show.
Sometimes I really don’t understand the stubbornness of those people. They have the same stance but completely different ideas.
"This dagger can cut through space, any size you want, and can be used by several people to enter. All you have to do is silently recite your destination in your mind."
Seeing him put down the dagger with an unreadable expression, Bai Zhou added in a cheerful tone.
Then, he looked at his superior, his eyes fixed on the headset, and slowly asked:
"Everyone, is this bargaining chip enough?"
"I think that's enough."
The officer calmed himself down, drank the tea on the table, then stood up and gestured to the door.
"Please follow me, Mr. Day."
——
There is no need to say much about what happened next.
As you can see, Bai Zhou has already sat securely in the high-level area and even has the right to be introduced individually. All this is inseparable from the help of the dagger.
With the powerful announcement made by the lady in suits that shook the stadium, the opening ceremony ended and the fourth Battle of Zhuolu officially began.
In fifteen minutes, the first group battle will begin. Specialized personnel stepped forward to set up a protective shield to prevent the psychics from hitting the head without realizing the severity of the hit and causing fatal injuries, and also to prevent the audience in the inner circle from being affected by the energy.
During the day, I lean back in my chair and close my eyes to rest naturally. The secretly unhappy senior executive next to him glared at him silently, opened his mouth and tried to say something, but finally chose to close it in frustration.
"I really miss it. The last time I spoke in front of so many people was when I gave a speech at the flag stand in elementary school."
The young man ignored the gazes from all directions and sighed in his heart. Soon he remembered something and asked the light ball curiously:
"Xiao Guang, what were the expressions of the protagonists when they saw me? Did you take a picture of it as a souvenir?"
The ball of light was keeping a close eye on Qi Heng's movements, fearing that his consciousness would take advantage of it if he wasn't paying attention, causing Qi Heng to fall to the ground in public and endure the shocked gazes from everyone around him.
If this really happened, when people around him talked about future competitions, they might refer to Qi Heng as "the person who fainted before the game"! No matter how cool the operation is, it is impossible to wash away this identity!
The scene was so beautiful that it didn't even dare to look at it.
Fortunately, it can be easily suppressed at present, and what the light ball is worried about will not happen. Therefore, after hearing Bai Zhou's question, it quickly found the energy to answer with a firm tone:
"It's very safe, nothing socially fatal will happen!"
"?"
——
Offstage, the only two people who had heard the mysterious man's voice and thus confirmed Bai Zhou's identity had already sorted out their emotions. They looked at each other silently, and explained their abnormal behavior to Ye Yunhe who was looking at them with concern.
"ah?"
So there was one more unbelievable person in the arena.
Ye Yunhe leaned back tactically, blinked blankly, raised his head and looked at the young man on the stage in a trance, then turned to look at his teammates, and did not react for a moment.
Seeing this, Si and An looked at them lovingly and nodded vigorously to express their affirmation. Yes, that's right, this is the mysterious man who appears and disappears all the time and moves in a strange way, although I don't know why he became our superior.
Ye Yunhe:......
The world is so wonderful.
When the protagonists learned the news, they all turned their attention to the last teammate who was unaware of the situation.
Qi Heng was still staring into the void in a daze, but his eyelashes drooped a little as time passed, making him look more like he was drowsy.
Si Yuan gently poked his arm as before, but got no response.
"Could it be that Xiao Heng was actually so nervous that he fell asleep very late last night?"
"Really?" Ye Yunhe also came over and looked at the boy's fair face carefully, indignantly, "Then why doesn't he have dark circles under his eyes? This is not fair."
"Maybe she was born without dark circles under her eyes."
As they were talking, the two saw that Qi Heng still had no reaction, and even his eyelashes, which were originally slightly drooping, completely closed, so they stared at the young man's soft cheeks together. Using waking him up as an excuse and to satisfy his selfish desires, he started poking him from left and right.
The reliable Captain Lin nearby sighed helplessly. Seeing that his teammates were addicted to the act of poking cheeks and couldn't extricate themselves, and people around them also cast their eyes on him, he finally stood up and stopped this childish activity.
"Okay, enough is enough."
Grabbing the two impolite paws, Lin Muyu threw them back to the left and right, and then deliberately looked at Qi Heng who was being treated as a poke. The other party was breathing peacefully and did not react to what had just happened.
You are still sleeping. Are you that sleepy?
With some doubt, he checked the boy's pulse and found it steady and soothing.
Well, it seems that he simply fell asleep. Anyway, the competition is in the afternoon, so it doesn’t matter if he goes back to the dormitory to rest in the morning. In his free time, he can go to the stadium or stay there as he pleases.
After deciding what to do next, Lin Muyu was just about to explain the matter to his teammates who were looking at him eagerly, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Qi Heng's cheek flesh that was more obvious because he lowered his head, and his mind unconsciously recalled the two people's poking fun at each other just now.
The words were stuck in his throat. The reliable Captain Lin thought about it briefly and decided to follow the guidance of his heart without any inner struggle.
He reached out his hand and gently poked the soft cheek, satisfying his rare curiosity.
Then he met the other person's calm gaze.
"......"
"......"
The scene was extremely quiet for a moment.
Lin Muyu was silent for a moment, apologized with a smile, and withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.
Unfortunately, teammates always finish off the team in awkward moments. Seeing their captain in such a rare state of embarrassment, they did not recall the care and concern they had shown each other in the past, and even started to exclaim:
"Ah! Captain, what are you doing? Even if Xiao Heng's cheeks are soft, you shouldn't poke them without his consent!"
"Yes, Captain. Although we are not good people either, you are such a jerk!"
Ye Yunhe and Si Yu'an covered their mouths and shouted one after another as if they had seen something incredible.
The only thing they had left of conscience was not shouting too loudly. Although I don’t know if he is afraid of embarrassing himself.
Qi Heng originally wanted to say something, but after hearing the two people's words that sounded like a supporting role, he opened his mouth in vain and closed it in silence again.
His cheek seemed to be in phantom pain, so he raised his hand and rubbed it, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully, his gaze wandering between the three people.
Lin Muyu paid a heavy price for his momentary curiosity, but he still smiled gently, turned his head and looked at his two teammates quietly, raised his hand calmly, and rewarded each of them with a slap on the face.
——
The ball of light in the distance breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little guilty.
It was so scary. Qi Heng closed his eyes because of his distraction. Fortunately, we discovered it in time. However, with the protagonists around, he shouldn't fall to the ground, right?
wrong! Regardless of whether I fell or not, it was my own dereliction of duty! Light ball, oh Light ball, how could you do this? Bai Zhou gave you the task, and you almost betrayed his trust!
It has learned its lesson and is determined not to make such a low-level mistake again.
Uh, but...
The light ball was speechless when he thought of the scene he had just seen.
Although the nickname won’t be “the person who fainted before the game”, it wouldn’t sound good if it became “the person who was poked in the cheek before the game and still didn’t wake up”, right… ?
