Chapter 241 Endorsement of Control Gloves
Star Monster: [We saw your exceptional potential, which is why we're considering this collaboration. If you're worried I'm a scammer, you can verify my identity when you arrive. We can discuss it further then.]
Qiao Mei realized that the other party had probably misunderstood, so she made her point out more clearly.
I'm not questioning your identity; I'm just curious. Is a team ranked around 50 really worth you contacting me directly? Did you value my abilities or the potential of my team that led you to extend invitations to both?
This time, the question was asked, but the other party still did not answer quickly.
I waited a while before replying to her again:
[I only valued your abilities. As mentioned before, I approached you because I thought you had great potential. I also checked how long you've been playing Star Monster; you've only been playing for a few months, yet you've achieved this level of skill and your performance in competitions has been outstanding. It seems you didn't hire a substitute player.]
So, after careful consideration, I decided to meet you to see if I had misjudged you.
After reading the lengthy and sincere reply, Qiao Mei's doubts about the other party, though still present, had been largely dispelled.
However, this was no small matter. After confirming with the other party that they would meet at the Interstellar Hotel next Friday night, she went directly to Xu Wenfeng to discuss it.
Xu Wenfeng is older than her and has much more experience, so asking him shouldn't be a problem.
Sure enough, she soon received a reply from Xu Wenfeng saying that the person who added her was indeed the founder of Xingguai, but the founder's motive for contacting her was still unclear.
He said he would go with her, and if anything unexpected happened, Qiao Mei would be safer with him there.
Qiao Mei had this in mind. After saying a few flattering words to make Xu Wenfeng feel comfortable, she brought up the matter of joining the interstellar army with him.
“Cangcang also wants to join. The academy will start its summer vacation next Friday, which is a good time to complete the procedures for joining the interstellar army. I wonder if Grandpa could help Cangcang get a spot as well?”
With Ao Cang's strength, getting in wouldn't be difficult at all.
The difficulty lies in the fact that he spoke too late; by the time he said he wanted to join the interstellar army with his predecessors, the application deadline had already passed by almost a week.
There was no other way but to ask Xu Wenfeng if there was any way to get Ao Cang in as well.
It would be best if it were available, but if it's not, there's nothing we can do about it.
[Laughing at life (Grandpa)]: "It's just one spot, it's not a big deal. Xiao Mei, don't worry, just leave it to Grandpa to handle."
God knows how much he wanted Xu Hui and Qiao Mei to rely on him more, but he never had the chance.
Now that the opportunity has come, he certainly has to seize it!
With his words reassured, Qiao Mei returned to the Federal Academy to continue her courses for the remainder of the semester, and did not forget to continue gathering materials at Star Monster.
It wasn't until Wednesday, when the person in charge of the control gloves contacted her and said that she needed to go over today to take makeup photos and try out the products, that she finally had some free time. She then followed Zuo Chenxing and the others onto the aircraft sent by the person in charge and arrived at the commercial building where the photoshoot was to be held.
There are many types of control gloves, and given that Qiao Mei and her team are stuck in the top 50, the control gloves they can get are the worst.
But it doesn't matter. As long as they pay, the basic quality of the gloves is acceptable, so the impact won't be too great.
Qiao Mei never expected to meet Qiao Yingying here.
Having read the original book, she was well aware of her abilities.
It wasn't that she had a problem with Qiao Yingying or was deliberately looking down on her, but rather that Qiao Yingying genuinely lacked any skills to participate in the Star Monster All-People Professional League.
She had attended almost every course related to mecha, so she was quite certain that Qiao Yingying had not taken any mecha courses.
The Crown Prince didn't say he doted on her much, and it's unlikely he would hire a private mecha instructor for her.
It's really strange that she was still able to participate in the competition and even make it into the top 50 under these circumstances.
“An’an, I’ve noticed that the aura of death on Qiao Yingying is much stronger than before.”
Just as Qiao Mei was puzzled, the little black dragon wrapped around her neck spoke in a low voice, interrupting her thoughts.
She composed herself and, while Zuo Chenxing and the others were still going through security, lowered her voice as she replied, "Cangcang, I've actually always had a question I wanted to ask you: what special effect does this death energy have when held by a human?"
Ao Cang nodded; "Indeed, there is. Take me for example, the death aura on my body has the same effect as my divine power, but the former has half the effect of the latter."
This was the first time Qiao Mei had ever known that death energy had such an effect. After a slight surprise, she could understand why Qiao Yingying was able to get here.
She had witnessed Ao Cang's divine power and had even experienced it with him, so she knew how formidable it was.
Even if death energy is only half of divine power, its accumulated effects should not be underestimated.
But what she didn't understand was where Qiao Yingying got so much death energy.
And how can a human body bear the aura of death like the body of a familiar beast?
Ao Cang could also understand her doubts. Seeing her brows furrowed, he was about to explain to her when he heard the staff in front ask Qiao Mei to come forward for examination.
There was nothing I could do but swallow my words and wait for the examination to finish.
"Your team's official photos will be taken in room CE4 later. Once inside, turn right and walk straight to the end."
After the staff member finished speaking, they scanned Qiao Mei's personal computer and then handed her a tag to prove her identity, which she then hung around her neck.
Qiao Mei took the tag, hung it up, and then went to meet up with Xu Heyu and the others.
But when he turned around, he saw Qiao Yingying clinging to Xu Heyu's side, talking to him.
As the male and female protagonists in the book, it's not surprising that they would have some interaction. In order not to disturb them, Qiao Mei did not go to find Xu Heyu immediately, but stood not far away, intending to wait for Qiao Yingying to leave before going over.
But what she thought was one thing, and what the reality was another.
She had just found a public seat to sit down when she heard Xu Heyu call out to her, "Little Rose, have you finished your procedures? If you have, let's hurry over to take your official photos."
Qiao Mei: "......"
At a time like this, shouldn't you pretend you didn't see her and continue to cultivate your relationship with Qiao Yingying?
Speechless as she was, she couldn't pretend not to hear since Xu Heyu had already called her. So she stood up and walked towards him.
Whenever Qiao Yingying is around, everyone's attention is usually on her.
As they drew closer, Qiao Mei keenly noticed that her gaze was burning intently on the little black dragon on her neck.
Make a little money.
