After Armand returned to the team, Mu Sicheng, who was blown down by the wind, was so angry that he stood up and wanted to continue rushing forward, but was held back by Bai Liu.

Bai Liu looked back at Georgia from a distance across the crowd and exchanged glances.

Georgia's gaze stayed on the troublemaker Mu Sicheng for less than a second before moving to Bai Liu's face. The Golden Dawn captain looked at Bai Liu with a focused and serious gaze, as if he was ready to poke a hole in Bai Liu's face with his eyes.

"Wow." Bai Liu smiled, "It seems that Captain Georgia knows me."

Tang Erda's expression gradually became serious: "...Probably not. If he really remembers what you did, he will attack you now."

"Georgia is a very decisive person."

"So why is Captain Georgia staring at me?" Bai Liu looked at Tang Erda with a slanted look, "It's not like he fell in love with me at first sight, is it?"

Tang Er couldn't help but blurt out: "It's not impossible. He ran away with you after just meeting you once..."

Bai Liu: “…”

Fortunately, Georgia did not observe Bai Liu for too long. When Armand returned to his side, Georgia withdrew his gaze. He continued to lead the team forward calmly, as if he had never looked at Bai Liu before.

The spectators, who were thrown into panic by the wind, soon began to cheer and scream - they interpreted the accident as a duel performance.

The clear winner of this showdown was Armand, which showed that this good-looking newcomer also had good fighting qualities, which made the Golden Dawn supporters very excited.

When this golden team passed by Bai Liu and the others, the cheers reached their climax like a provocation.

Mu Sicheng became even more furious: "Damn it, it's just my skills that are banned. If you have the guts, come into the game and challenge me..."

"Alright." Bai Liu glanced at him calmly, "You've already done such a good job of promoting them today, don't send them off, start training them."

"...Yes." Mu Sicheng clenched his fists in frustration. He realized that he had acted impulsively. His fingers changed from monkey paws back to human shape and he stopped talking.

They walked towards the entrance again and started the next round of training.

——————

Two games later, Liu Jiayi crawled out of the swamp and poisonous fog, and a line of prompts popped up on the system panel:

[System prompt: Player Liu Jiayi has reached the league registration game number requirement, do you want to register? ]

Liu Jiayi looked up at Bai Liu, and taking a deep breath at his reassuring gaze.

【Sure.】

[Select guilds to register: Killer Order, King Guild...Wandering Circus...]

Liu Jiayi's gaze paused for a moment on the crown logo of the King's Guild, and then she chose the Wandering Circus.

[System prompt: You have become one of the registered players for the (Wandering Circus) Guild League. Please find the other four teammates as soon as possible...]

The moment Liu Jiayi confirmed her registration, her photo appeared at the end of the popularity voting announcement - it was a photo taken from a very strange angle. With half of her veil blown up by the wind, Liu Jiayi was standing on a huge creature and using poison. Her movements were ruthless and decisive, with the corners of her mouth curled up childishly, making her look playful and innocent.

This was a default registration photo, which had been set for her by the King's Guild in advance.

This photo cannot have been taken from a screenshot of a small TV because it was too close to her and it was not the perspective of the small TV. It was obvious that someone very close to her took a sneak shot of her while she was fighting.

Liu Jiayi stared at the photo in a daze - from this shooting angle, she remembered that the person standing behind her and defending her in that game was... Hong Tao.

After she killed the big monster, Hong Tao looked at her with a smile, and without hesitation, she drew a poker card and attacked her, cutting the veil of Liu Jiayi who was caught off guard, leaving a bloody mark on her face.

She looked up at Hongtao in astonishment, not understanding why she did this.

Hong Tao squatted down and looked her in the eye, then smiled and said to her, "This is the first lesson I'm teaching you about the league. Even if your teammates are standing behind you, don't trust them easily."

Hong Tao lowered her sparkling eyes and whispered: "——You don't know when your teammates around you will go crazy. They will betray you and attack you."

"Teammate is unreliable. In the game, as a tactician, you can only trust yourself and your absolute control over your teammates - even if they go crazy, they are just weapons under your command."

Liu Jiayi paused for a moment, changed the photo, looked up and walked out of the exit.

The news that Liu Jiayi had signed up for the league scrolled on the popular announcement column of the system panel, and at the same time, her system panel suddenly burst into announcement fireworks.

[System prompt: Player Liu Jiayi joins the Wandering Circus team! ]

[System Announcement: Player Liu Jiayi permanently withdraws from the King Guild Team! ]

The announcement fireworks were obviously bought by the King's Guild, and they were announced to the entire region. Amid the falling electronic fireworks fragments, Liu Jiayi saw an old acquaintance standing upright not far from the exit.

Qi Yifang held two boxes with red eyes, as if he had cried a lot, but in front of Liu Jiayi, he still managed to act like a big brother, smiling like crying as he looked at Liu Jiayi who had just logged out of the game:

"Congratulations to the little witch for participating in the league!"

Liu Jiayi's footsteps on the way out stopped.

Bai Liu behind her gently pushed her forward: "Go, say goodbye to him properly."

Liu Jiayi walked slowly in front of Qi Yifang. Qi Yifang seemed very happy to see her and wanted to smile, but as soon as he smiled, tears started streaming down his face and he couldn't stop crying.

"Wow, Jiayi, you are amazing. I am so happy to see you..."

Qi Yifang squatted down with tears in his eyes and sniffed twice: "I, I have joined the official team, Jiayi."

Liu Jiayi glanced at him and said, "Isn't this great?"

"Not good at all, wuwu." Qi Yifang shed two lines of tears while speaking, "We have recently been training with a nun player. She is so powerful that Liu Ji and I can't keep up with her. The queen calls me a waste every day. I am so scared when I think about us fighting against you in the future, wuwuwu."

"What if we win?" Qi Yifang cried so hard that snot bubbles came out of her nose. "The queen said she won't show mercy to your men."

Liu Jiayi couldn't help laughing. She crossed her arms, raised her chin and snorted, "Don't underestimate my new team. It's still uncertain who will win!"

"Stop crying!" Liu Jiayi said with a headache, "Aren't you ashamed to cry like this?"

Qi Yifang handed the box to Liu Jiayi and relayed the words of the Queen of Hearts to her, crying and defending herself: "Originally, the guild's new information director came to deliver the gift to you, but he saw the system message that you participated in the league on the way, and he couldn't accept it for a while."

"He cried even harder than I did. The other reserve players are all crying in the dormitory now. I am the only one who can control myself a little bit, so I am here to deliver the things to you."

Liu Jiayi took the two boxes silently, and then Qi Yifang took out a pair of skates from somewhere and handed them to Liu Jiayi.

They were a pair of pink skates with a doll and a little witch holding hands clumsily painted on one side — both of which were clearly added later.

Seeing the pair of skates, Liu Jiayi looked up in surprise: "[Speeding Skates]? Where did you get these? I remember that the level 3 dungeon that can produce this item hasn't appeared for a long time."

"There is a dungeon in the game pool, but it is very difficult to collect the monster books to spawn this item." Qi Yifang said pitifully, "It took us a group of people more than half a month to spawn a pair. Liu Ji spawned them. He was injured while spawning this, but it can be considered a blessing in disguise. He improved a lot in the process of spawning, so he was selected for the official team."

The smile on Liu Jiayi's face disappeared.

Qi Yifang continued, "We are going to give it to you as a gift when you enter the league. You are not very mobile, but with this pair of shoes you can run faster and avoid getting hurt."

"Now you're in the league." Qi Yifang pushed the props in front of Liu Jiayi and looked at her eagerly, "Take it."

Liu Jiayi looked at him quietly, then said calmly: "Half a month ago I was a member of the King's Guild, but now I am not, and I am not participating in the league for you, so I don't know how to..."...want this thing.

"But we are!" Qi Yifang burst into tears. He half-knelt on the ground, took a step forward and hugged Liu Jiayi, crying loudly, "We wanted to join the team because we wanted to protect you!"

Liu Jiayi's breathing paused slightly.

Qi Yifang choked up and said: "No matter which team you choose to join, we all hope that you can be safe."

"——The Queen said that the competition was cruel and fair. She said that you are a very smart person. You can see that we deliberately let you go in order to let you survive. This will interfere with your ability to exert your strength and make you more dangerous in the competition because you will also be soft-hearted towards us and affect your own decision."

Liu Jiayi's fingers curled and clenched.

Qi Yifang closed his eyes and said, "We are not as smart as you and we don't know what to do. After thinking for a long time, I think this is the only way."

He suddenly opened his eyes and hugged Liu Jiayi tightly: "We swear to do our best to deal with you, Jiayi, you also have to do your best to deal with us. If you find us chasing you, run!"

"Run as far as you can! We can't catch you even if we try our best! Run until the end of the game!"

“You must survive!”

Liu Jiayi smiled lightly, tears welling up in her eyes. She reached out and hugged Qi Yifang generously: "Don't make me sound so pathetic."

"Who wants to run? We will win!"

Qi Yifang loosened his hand, wiped his tears, smiled, and said firmly: "We too!"

Bai Liu watched Liu Jiayi come back with two boxes and a pair of skates.

Qi Yifang behind her wiped her tears and turned to leave, but she didn't seem to have walked far before she ran and burst into tears.

As Liu Jiayi walked, she couldn't help but run. She threw herself into Bai Liu's arms and buried her face in them, not wanting others to see the tear marks on her face.

"Bai Liu, will we really... win?" She hugged Bai Liu's waist and asked softly.

Bai Liu touched her head and said, "You will win."

Liu Jiayi's voice became softer: "What is the price of winning?"

Bai Liu looked at Qi Yifang's back from a distance and said, "You don't need to pay anything, because you have already paid me."

"The price of victory can be paid by me alone."

In the system popularity voting panel, the number [0] below Liu Jiayi's poster suddenly changed.

【League player Liu Jiayi received one vote. 】

【League player Liu Jiayi has qualified to enter the game pool. 】

The author has something to say:

I would like to make a solemn statement here: most of the characters in the story have their own emotional dramas, some are romantic and some are not, there are enemies, family, friendship and love, basically they are all for the main plot. Some readers asked me why I wrote a lifelong enemy for 4, because I have to play in the league! How can I play without enemies!

I don't know how the secondary CP is calculated. If it refers to the love line, the most it will write about is 2 and Su, which is also for the sake of the characters and the plot. It will not be expanded. It is basically the character relationship line you saw in the early stage. The content ratio is equivalent to +1 and Liu Huai and Hong Tao and Qi Yifang, 4 and Liu Huai and Armand, 2 and Su and Bai Liu, which are all similar.

I have created two character relationship lines for each person in the circus, enemy and friend. This is mainly for character creation, so that the league matches will be more interesting. If readers mind this, run away.jpg

Of course, level 6 has the most enemies, and basically every guild leader is his lifelong enemy (.)

Bow, thank you all for your support along the way!
