Chapter 240 Founder of the Star Monsters
Once you get to that stage, it's a part that Qiao Mei is quite familiar with.
In a chaotic battle involving over a hundred teams, survival is the most important thing.
After her team successfully located and annihilated the enemy team in less than half an hour, Qiao Mei and her group headed straight for the location of the interstellar monster BOSS.
The difficulty was on a simple four-star map, and the BOSS wasn't too hard to defeat. After another half hour, Qiao Mei's team successfully advanced and entered the waiting area.
Because they withdrew from the competition early, while other teams were still playing, they had a long rest period.
Qiao Mei took this opportunity to explain the next tactics to Xu Heyu and the others, and then repaired the damaged mecha.
This is similar to some professional leagues she saw in her previous life. The winning team gets more time to rest, so even if it seems unfair, no one can find fault with it.
Repairing the mech simply requires attaching a repair kit made of virtual data to the mech.
The opposing team that Qiao Mei and her group encountered was too weak, and their mechs didn't suffer any serious damage, so there weren't many opportunities to use the repair kits.
Soon, the repair kits for the group were applied one by one.
Zuo Chenxing then suggested that they have a meal together after the competition.
This process usually happens after a match.
Even if Zuo Chenxing didn't ask, Yan Qing was planning to ask anyway.
Seeing that Zuo Chenxing had brought it up directly, they decided to reveal their identities, since they wouldn't be teammates again after this match.
"I'm fine with that. Let's get to know each other formally, Yan Qing."
Zuo Chenxing also revealed his identity and introduced himself.
Next up is Xu Heyu.
As for Qiao Mei, everyone knew her true identity, so revealing it would be no different than not revealing it at all.
Although Qiao Mei knew that Zuo Chenxing was a star, she never revealed it.
Now you have to pretend to be very surprised.
Zuo Chenxing, just like her, exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be junior Qiao Mei. Is the world really that small?"
Qiao Mei nodded: "I didn't expect that either, but it's good this way. If we all know each other, we won't be so reserved when we go out for dinner."
"? Little Rose, but didn't you tell me before that you had to take care of the sick Cang Ao and couldn't go to the dinner party?"
When Xu Heyu saw Qiao Mei agree directly in front of him, he almost doubted whether there was something wrong with his memory.
As he spoke, he even went to look through their chat history. Ao Cang's weak photo was still prominently displayed there, so it seemed he hadn't misremembered.
Now it was Qiao Mei's turn to be dumbfounded.
She was just about to ask when Xu Heyu had invited her when she remembered that morning when she left her smartwatch on the bed and went downstairs to find Cherry.
After a moment of stunned silence, she could only go along with what Xu Heyu said: "Yes, I almost forgot about that. I'm sorry, we can't make it this time. My boyfriend is sick."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Chenxing thought for a moment and then comforted her, "It's nothing. Besides, there's no rush to eat right now. If you don't go, it would seem strange if only the three of us went. Otherwise, let us know when your boyfriend gets better, and we can get together then."
It was just a dinner party, so Qiao Mei didn't think much of it. She asked Yan Qing and Xu Heyu for their opinions, and after learning that they both agreed, she agreed as well.
She really hadn't expected Ao Cang to secretly use her personal computer bracelet to send messages back to Xu Heyu.
As evening fell, Qiao Mei's team was eliminated in the top 50 of the chaotic battle, earning them the opportunity to endorse the control gloves. After the game, Qiao Mei looked at the boy lying obediently in her arms, ready to question him, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything.
Instead, she tucked the blanket that had slipped off his back and looked at him with eyes full of helplessness and doting affection.
Once she was sure he was sound asleep, she turned on her smart bracelet and opened her chat history with Xu Heyu.
Sure enough, it was completely blank.
So I used some tricks to recover the chat history.
After recovering, she looked at the weak, handsome face that came into view and suddenly found it a little funny.
Scrolling down, he even knew how to mimic her way of speaking when replying to Xu Heyu, and even she herself couldn't see anything out of place when she looked at it.
This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this, but he seemed much more skilled than the first time.
After reading all of this, she deleted all the records that Ao Cang had deleted, so that he wouldn't find out that she had discovered this.
Just as she finished her series of actions, she received an email from the Star Monster All-People Professional League, which contained not only small rewards such as figurines and medals, but also a brand new set of control gloves.
They used this control glove during the competition, but after Qiao Mei opened it and looked at it carefully, she found that it was more advanced than the one used in the competition.
In addition to these, there was also a small bonus of 3,000 Star Coins, and the contact information of the brand ambassador, which she could add herself.
After copying the contact information and preparing to search, a red friend request dot appeared on Qiao Mei's friend list.
Upon clicking, the profile picture is the game icon of Star Monster, and the only description is "Star Monster," making it difficult to discern his true identity.
Qiao Mei had only recently finished the Star Monster competition when she received this request. She sensed that something might be going on with the Star Monster organizers, so she quickly clicked "accept".
As soon as she agreed, she received a message almost instantly, asking if it would be convenient for her to meet. Xingguai wanted to have a deeper level of cooperation with her.
Star Monster: "We are also very interested in the [Black Crow Boy] mech you used in the competition. If you are willing, perhaps Star Monster can add such a mech for sale in the future. As for the profit sharing, we can only discuss it when we meet."
The other party's attitude was very good, but because it involved cooperation and profit sharing, and even mecha-related matters from the start, Qiao Mei did not give an answer quickly. Instead, she asked, "Is TA the official person in charge of Star Monster?"
Star Monster: "Yes, I am Pang Lin, the founder of Star Monster. This is my identity verification."
After sending the message, Pang Lin took a screenshot of his personal information interface on Weibo in real time, confirming to Qiao Mei that he was indeed the person in question.
After thinking for a moment, she asked him why he chose her.
At best, she led her team into the top 50, and they were only 50th, not first or second. She wasn't that impressive, so why would the founder of Star Monsters be so attentive to her and go out of his way to add her?
After she asked the question, Pang Lin was silent for a moment before giving her an answer.
Qiao Mei: Something's fishy going on!
