Once the scores are given, the competition is practically over; the remaining time belongs to the other streamers who haven't yet scored.
Before Huahua could even get close to Lu Mingming, she was led away by the staff.
The child's innocent voice left behind the final words in the air: "Don't forget our promise."
In response, Lu Mingming smiled and waved goodbye.
Unwilling to stay in the competition hall any longer, Lu Mingming walked to the family section and sat down quietly. A staff member then handed her a glass of warm water to quench her thirst.
A few media outlets wanted to come and interview her, and some free staff members wanted to secretly ask her for her contact information, but Lu Mingming refused them all.
Lu Mingming isolated herself in a small world. People outside the world pressed against the wall, desperately trying to gossip about her, while she happily let her thoughts fly in her little world.
The little white tiger witnessed the judges' random scoring, and the overwhelming anger in its eyes had not yet subsided.
Seeing Lu Mingming remain silent, a hint of heartache appeared in her icy blue eyes.
It squeezed in and rubbed its furry body against Lu Mingming's waist and arms to comfort him.
Since Lu Mingming left the sanatorium, the little guy has been living with her. Her fur has unknowingly acquired a unique lavender scent, which gives a comforting and warm feeling and calms the mind.
After rubbing against Lu Mingming's scent for a while, the little white tiger automatically lay down on Lu Mingming's lap, revealing its soft belly, showing comfort and affection.
Thankfully, the parrot didn't come along.
The little white tiger thought to itself.
Otherwise, when he's feeling comfortable, he might not be able to control his feline nature and could easily cripple someone with a single swipe.
Lu Mingming felt much better and gently scratched the little white tiger's chin with her fingertips.
Long, slender fingers traced a path from the neck down to the stomach, sending a jolt of electricity through the skin. The sensation was so pleasurable it made one's scalp tingle, as if they had suddenly transformed into a soft candy, or as if they were lying in a warm, fluffy blanket of cotton.
She gently comforted the little one on her lap, rubbing its warm belly with her palms:
"It's okay, my overall score is still stable."
As Lu Mingming said, she scored a world-class high of 9.1 in the first round and a median score of 7.1 in the second round, for a total of 16.2, which is estimated to be far higher than most streamers.
Therefore, the third round of matches is now more important.
If Lu Mingming's score remains high in the third round, and Cheng Shiqin has no intention of climbing higher, then Lu Mingming has a chance to compete for a spot.
But Lu Mingming is more worried that Oscar might trip her up in the third round.
Lost in thought, Lu Mingming didn't notice that after the competition ended, Star Lord slowly walked up to her.
A voice as gentle as a spring breeze rang out above Lu Mingming's head.
Are you still sad?
Lu Mingming suddenly snapped out of her daze, subconsciously raising her head and following the other person's movements with her gaze.
Xing Chang lowered her eyes, revealing her long, thick eyelashes. With her slender hand, she swept one side of her long, curly hair behind her back. She sat gracefully on the soft stool next to her, turning her head to smile at Lu Mingming.
"N-no, I was just spacing out."
For some reason, Lu Mingming became nervous, and unconsciously placed her hand on the white tiger's paw and squeezed it to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"A cute and innocent child."
Xing Chang's smile widened as he handed Lu Mingming a chocolate.
The chocolate was about the size of a finger joint, wrapped in gold foil, revealing its pitted and uneven surface.
It looks like something worthless, but it's coated with a shiny shell.
"I made this myself, and I hope it will cheer you up a little."
Lu Mingming felt a warmth in her heart and said thank you.
Xing Chang took out a women's cigarette from his personal storage space.
The cigarette butt ignited spontaneously without a flame, and the woman elegantly placed the cigarette holder inside her red lips:
"No need. From a planetary perspective, I am Xingfu Star Chief, and I should be responsible for you. From the audience's perspective, I have watched your interviews and live broadcasts, and they are very good."
Lu Mingming didn't know how many big shots Sasha's interview had attracted, but the fact that it had attracted Xing Chang surprised her greatly.
After thanking him again, Lu Mingming became even more reserved, unconsciously fiddling with the hem of his clothes.
The cigarette smoke gradually turned into fruity smoke that swirled around, the thin white mist seemingly blurring even Xing Chang's face.
The woman paused for a moment, then spoke again:
“I just gave Oscar a lecture. He must have some connection with the Nine-Tailed Fox to do this. He’s actually an excellent parenting blogger.”
"Xingfuxing has faced increasing difficulties in recent years. Being able to train three childcare workers who can pass the intermediate level exam is already our limit."
But you're different. I see hope for Xing Fuxing's future in you.
The last sentence was too arrogant. The slight displeasure I felt earlier because of the Oscar's unfair ruling was quickly soothed by the other party's words, but an unconscious sense of unease crept in.
Lu Mingming's expression changed slightly, and he quickly waved his hand in an attempt to deny it.
When their eyes met, Lu Mingming saw a genuine and complex emotion in the woman's eyes that seemed real, and she immediately dared not say anything else that would spoil the mood.
Xing Chang turned his head, his expression becoming more serious.
"I've come here to tell you two things."
"First, the Nine-Tailed Fox's accomplices possess extremely strong mental power, enabling them to escape unnoticed even after I captured them, and their whereabouts remain unknown to this day."
To become a Star Chief, the primary requirement is to possess B+ level mental strength. In other words, someone who can escape from a Star Chief's level of mental strength must be someone of extraordinary status.
Xing Chang couldn't understand where the Nine-Tailed Fox got that mysterious child from. Even the Nine-Tailed Fox herself didn't know, only saying that it was arranged by the company.
