Chapter 52 Forgot
Astor took the black potion bottle silently and stopped asking Lu Yi any questions.
Seeing that Aster accepted the potion, Lu Yi felt relieved.
The atmosphere was inexplicably dull, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Brother, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"
If there was nothing going on, Aster would not normally come to his room to look for someone.
Astor shook his head, "It's nothing actually, it's just that I've finished dealing with things and I'm leaving tomorrow, so I came to tell you in advance."
Lu Yi's mood instantly dropped.
After all this time, it turns out that no matter whether he talks about the Orcs or not, Astor is going to leave?
"Okay then, bro, when are you leaving tomorrow?"
Lu Yi pretended not to hear what Astor said about setting off immediately.
Astor was ruthless, looked at him gently and said, "Now."
Lu Yi immediately turned around and threw himself onto the bed.
He buried his head in the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "Go away. I won't see you off."
Astor sat on the edge of his bed, ruffled his exposed blond hair, and whispered, "I'll come see you next time."
"…When is the next time?"
Astor thought about it seriously and said, "It will soon be the anniversary of the establishment of the royal family of the Victor royal family. My father, mother and I will attend on behalf of the Klein family. I guess we will be very busy during this period..."
"It will take at least three or four months."
Lu Yi poked his head out, stared with dead eyes and said: "...You might as well not tell me this cruel truth."
His heart was too fragile to bear three or four months of anticipation.
Lu Yi grinned at Astor and made a weird face, then buried his head back in the quilt again.
"I still have the second round of group matches tomorrow. A group fight is terrible! Your dearest brother is going to be surrounded and beaten by them!" Lu Yi deliberately exaggerated.
Astor recalled the three games that Lu Yi had watched before and laughed silently.
It's scary, and I don't know who should be scared.
"I believe Lu Yi will be able to win the game easily."
Lu Yi hummed softly, but the sound was a little muffled and distorted because of the quilt.
"Can't you stay one more day and watch me win the game easily..."
Astor understood that Lu Yi just couldn't bear to let him go, and kept asking him to stay, but if he really stayed, Lu Yi would probably be the first one to refuse.
A weird kid.
"Then I'll leave tomorrow...?"
Lu Yi showed his face a little and asked, "Really?"
But before Astor could answer, Lu Yi continued, "...Forget it, you'd better not stay. Family matters are indeed more important."
"Anyway, there won't be any other outcome for tomorrow's game, and there really isn't anything to watch."
"Sorry, Lu Yi."
"I know, I don't blame you."
Lu Yi pulled off the quilt covering his body, sat on the bed and said seriously.
"Did you remember what I just told you? Never use that potion unless it's absolutely necessary." Lu Yi couldn't help but remind him again.
This is divine blood!
The powerful divine blood! If ordinary humans were not on the verge of death, drinking it would be suicide!
Astor patted his head and teased, "You were acting like a spoiled brat and wouldn't let me leave just now, and now you've grown up all of a sudden? You're even controlling your brother..."
Ahhh——
What are you doing?!
Lu Yi was so angry at his words that he screamed in his heart. He got out of bed barefoot and pushed Astor out.
"Brother, please go quickly. I really won't see you off!"
This brother is so difficult to lead. If it were Zorn, he would definitely go with the flow and praise him for being considerate!
"You don't have to send me off. Just take care of yourself."
Astor snorted and rubbed Lu Yi's hair which he had messed up before turning and leaving.
…
Lu Yi finally went to see Astor off.
Although he hated parting, Lu Yi would always watch the person he was saying goodbye to leave, and would not leave until he could no longer see the other person's figure.
857 asked him, [6161, why do you always see people off in person? And you always stand there and watch them walk away...wouldn't it be more sad to do this?]
Mechanical life is extremely long, and separation is just a brief separation for them.
Because of Lu Yi, 857 vaguely understood that for humans, separation might be a sad thing.
But 857 couldn’t understand, if it was a sad thing, why would he watch others leave and make the sadness worse?
Lu Yi has become accustomed to complaining about 857 in such situations.
[“Just tell me you’re artificially retarded, but you still don’t believe it.”]
But even though he complained, he still patiently explained to 857 after he finished.
[“Humans are very complex and strange creatures. Sometimes sadness is not always a bad thing.”]
[“It is precisely because of this kind of sadness that we cherish the next goodbye even more.”]
【Oh～】857 seemed to understand but not quite.
The day Astor left, Lu Yi moved back to Braceside's dormitory.
Although Klein Manor was more comfortable to live in, he really couldn't stand the loneliness of living alone in an empty manor.
Especially now that Aster had just left.
Although Braceside's dormitory was small, he could fill it up by himself, as if the silent space had become lively.
Lu Yi was sitting at the table, feeling sad about the loneliness, solitude, and affectation.
857 kept hearing the sound of laughter in his ears.
Lu Yi endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer and yelled at 857: [“You! Why! Don’t you block it again!”]
857 could obviously open the shield, but it didn't. It was obvious that it was deliberately trying to make Lu Yi laugh.
[I saw that you were very unhappy, so I found a funny clip to make you laugh! ] 857 said confidently, with a considerate face of a system that was thinking about Lu Yi wholeheartedly.
Lu Yi showed a standard smile and said through gritted teeth: [“Then I really thank you…”]
[“I remember that today is not your day off. Please quickly settle the previous stage rewards for me.”]
857's smile froze, and he reluctantly paused the show, forcing himself to say, "Okay, employee number Xiaoba will be at your service right away..."
[Ding Dong! The limited-time mission [Unbeatable Battle] has been completed, and the phased settlement is in progress——]
[Mission Name: Unbeatable Battle (4/4)]
[Task rating: S (Exceeded!)]
[Task evaluation: Rupert may be a true warrior, but he is facing an absolute monarch! Lu Yi Klein's code words resounded over the sky of Bryside! On this stage, he is invincible. ]

[Mission Name: Unbeatable Battle (5/5)]

[Task Reward: 300 points (perfect points bonus)]
[Mission Name: Unbeatable Battle (6/6)]
[Task rating: A (perfectly accomplished!)]

[Task Reward: 300 points (perfect points bonus)]
[The first phase of the task is being settled——]
[Task Name: Unbeatable Battle (Part 1)]
[Task rating: S (Exceeded!)]
【Task Evaluation: A round of freshman competition has come to an end. You have once again attracted everyone's attention with your undefeated record! Lu Yi Klein's name is at the top of the scoreboard. Everyone has to look up to you. Targeted? There is no such thing. The truly strong are not afraid of so-called targeting! You will continue to prove your invincibility with the next victory! 】
[Task Reward: 1000 points, B-level item [Invisibility Cloak (Permanent Version)] x1]
A series of "ding-dong" sounds in his mind gave Lu Yi a headache.
But along with this came the rapidly growing points on his panel.
By the time all the rewards were combined, his points had reached 3,353!
Under the temptation of such huge points, even the noisy reminder sound has become a sweet burden.
What surprised Lu Yi was that the reward item for the first stage turned out to be the permanent version of the invisibility cloak he had been dreaming of!
Although the invisibility cloak priced at 400 points is no longer an expensive item that is out of his reach, it is still better to get it without spending any points.
Lu Yi looked at his surplus balance of more than 3,000 yuan, and then looked at the invisibility cloak in the system background, and his heart was filled with joy.
This happiness can easily lead to sorrow.
Lu Yi followed the invisibility cloak to see the item in the next compartment of the system backpack - the tentacle, and then he remembered the bottle of divine blood he gave out today.
It's time to restock.
He turned around and picked up the little tentacle again.
Mmm, divine blood...
As if he suddenly remembered something, Lu Yi clenched the small tentacle that was tightly pressed against him in his hand.
Something bad has happened!
He said he seemed to have forgotten something!
What happened in Rand these days has made him forget about Ares!
Didn't he promise me that he would come back?
I don't remember it at all...
Lu Yi's pupils suddenly contracted.
Is Ares going crazy again?
Lu Yi's mind flashed the image of the deep cave, and the image of Ares frantically approaching him even with his neck locked...
But soon his heart, which had been hanging high, fell back to its original place.
It's okay, it's not a big problem.
Anyway, he just promised Ares that he would return, but he didn't promise to return soon.
Don’t add pressure to yourself, this is not moral kidnapping, Lu Yi comforted himself.
If that’s the case, then it shouldn’t matter when he goes back…right?
Lu Yi thought uncertainly.
Never mind, let’s wait until he finishes the freshman game.
Lu Yi guiltily stuffed the small tentacle that had just been released back into the system backpack.
…
the next day.
There is only one game in the second round of the freshman tournament.
The rules are simple and crude. Groups of ten people compete in an elimination match until only one person is left on the field.
This is a big melee of ten into one.
He probably really was going to be targeted, Lu Yi thought.
What he said to Aster before was not a lie.
Anyone in his group who still had the slightest thought of winning would immediately join forces with other members of the group to beat up Lu Yi.
Only by eliminating the strongest one first can they continue to play this game.
Sure enough, when he went on stage, Lu Yi looked at the other nine people's eyes that seemed to be hinting at each other and knew that he had guessed correctly.
Now that everyone has joined forces to deal with him, I can no longer blame his men for being ruthless, Lu Yi thought.
The referee is an unfamiliar one, but the process is a familiar one.
Even the audience seats in the arena were filled with fans club members holding banners with his name on them.
Why was he so sure that these viewers were members of the fan club?
——After several games, Lu Yi has become familiar with several men and women who always hold signs.
Lu Yi pretended not to hear the enthusiastic shouts from the audience and looked at the referee calmly.
The referee understood his urging and started the pre-match process.
After the ten players were confirmed one by one, the referee announced the start of the competition.
In this game, Lu Yi chose the light element.
As soon as the match started, he immediately knocked down the two opponents approaching him and sent them off the ring steadily.
Before both of them could react to what happened, they were no longer on the stage.
The remaining seven people were dumbfounded. The encirclement they had originally planned was ruthlessly interrupted by Lu Yi at the very beginning.
The author has something to say:
Ding! Your friend [Background Attack] came online three minutes ago!
What is this? Nutrient solution? No! It's an additional update symbol!
