Chapter 354: Chatting Robot Longdan
As the assessment progressed into the later stages and Team 277 moved forward steadily, Delphinium felt more and more that she had nothing to do.
After clearing the first node and taking the first reward, they found the second node with great efficiency. Although another team had already entered this node and was not very willing to cooperate with Team 277 at first, when Tu Dinggui showed her amazing strength and almost single-handedly dealt with the remaining beasts in the node, they rethought their attitude. In the end, for Tu Dinggui's sake, they took the initiative to give up half of the reward.
After conquering the second node, the three found and solved two more puzzles, and with the points they had already completed, they had accumulated rewards for five puzzles. So far, with the points from five puzzles and two nodes, Team 277 has firmly secured the title of "No. 1 in the maze reward points."
During this process, Delphinium did nothing, or at least she had no chance to do anything that could be called a "contribution."
She became an ordinary spectator, watching Tudinggui show off his skills from beginning to end. If she really did anything, it was probably that after Tudinggui finished fighting, she would say something like "really awesome" depending on the atmosphere.
Yes, she discovered that Tudinggui seemed to like being praised.
Although she would not take the initiative to mention it, or even show any signs, but in fact, when she came back from the battle, there was a subtle atmosphere of "should I say I'm awesome?"
I don't know why, but Kuei-chih, who could sense this atmosphere, chose to follow suit. Based on the principle that it would not cost her anything to say a few nice words, she gave a few compliments to satisfy the other person's vanity. Even if she only said the most meaningless nonsense, as long as she gave a few compliments, the other person's mood would inexplicably rise.
As for how Tudinggui behaves when he is happy...
"Um, Senior Tudinggui."
Delphinium, who was moving forward in the maze like a spring outing, tilted her head helplessly: "Your hand."
She found that for some reason, Tudinggui started touching his head again.
"Oh, sorry."
Tudinggui took back his hand from the top of Delphinium's head and said apologetically, "I accidentally put it there again."
"I understand that habitual actions are indeed difficult to change."
Delphinium nodded: "I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just saying it."
"Well, I'll pay more attention next time." Tu Dinggui nodded, but a hint of disappointment still appeared in the corners of his slightly pursed mouth.
Noticing this, Delphinium let out a barely perceptible sigh, because she had no idea where the other party's inexplicable intimacy with her came from. Could it be because she praised her a few more times? Is this child such an easy-to-please type?
She thought she wasn't so hard-hearted that she would reject even a child's kindness. If it was in a more private setting, she might be able to give in a little to appease the other person. However, in this situation, she absolutely could not agree to it.
It’s because it’s being broadcast live.
Even though Kuei-chih herself couldn't see what was happening on the viewing platform, judging from her understanding of the assessment system, Team 277 should be the focus of the live projection at this moment. At any time and in any occasion, the situation in the team could be projected onto the viewing site.
The fake identity of "Longdan" could fool outsiders, but the Green Faction of the Magic Academy and Emerald knew her identity very well. If these people saw her being teased by a child, they would probably laugh at her.
What's more, in addition to Emerald and others, the Queen must also be watching the ceremony on the spot.
Has Team 277 been seen by her, and has she noticed them? Delphinium didn't know anything about this, but it didn't stop her from feeling a little uneasy.
She thought that she could sneak into the assessment site with this fake identity, and as long as she behaved normally, she would not be the focus of the audience. But she did not expect that she would be so lucky in selecting teammates, and she selected a "big shot" who could lead the entire team to the top of the points list.
The thought that what she was doing now might be seen by the Queen made her scalp tingle. Has she seen her? Can she recognize her as an "exile"? If she does, what should she do next? Should she leave? But what about the younger generations? The hidden worries in her heart made Delphinium nervous, and the free time in reality also gave her room for wild thoughts. She tried hard to suppress the messy thoughts in her mind, not to show any abnormality in front of her two teammates, and threw the topic back to Tudinggui:
"Come to think of it, Senior Tudinggui said that he often plays with his sister. So what do they usually play?"
After the so-called "ice-breaking", the atmosphere in Team 277 has become much more harmonious. Although I don't know why, the team is in a delicate state of "both of them like to talk to Delphinium".
Tu Dinggui began to take the initiative to share some of her daily life, such as study, training, work as a magical girl, and her family.
However, it seemed that only when the topic of family was brought up did Corydalis have the courage to join in the conversation, and she would communicate with Tudinggui at such times, and she would not say a word about other topics. So it became a strange situation that Tudinggui and Delphinium chatted about this and that, and Delphinium would occasionally respond.
Of course, everyone present knew the point, but no one mentioned it, which was Tu Dinggui’s teacher, Lan Xing.
As for Blue Star, as for this "strongest magical girl in the material world", Tu Dinggui never mentioned it on her own initiative. Kuei could find many unnatural connections in her words. Obviously, Tu Dinggui took the initiative to hide the existence of Blue Star.
Delphinium was not that curious about Bluestar, because she knew Anya's situation very well. Under the halo of the so-called "strongest", Anya was just an ordinary person living an ordinary life. So there was no need to fantasize too much for a false reputation. Bluestar was probably just a magical girl living her own life.
Maybe one day, she will meet Blue Star and see what kind of existence this magical girl who inherited Anya's identity is like, but she will not have any illusions about it.
At the same time, Dogtail Grass, who also had nothing to do, was very interested in talking to her about animation. Tudinggui couldn't get a word in on this topic, so she could only listen to them. Delphinium, who didn't watch animation, wanted to say that she was not good at this kind of topic either, but it was difficult to withdraw the character she had established before, so she could only rack her brains, recalling the little content she had glimpsed when Lin Xiaolu was watching TV, and trying to deal with it in every possible way.
She felt like a robot that could only chat with one person. When Tudinggui was chatting, Gouweicao could only wait by the side. Gouweicao finally had a chance to interrupt, and Tudinggui could only wait by the side. She was sandwiched between the two people and wanted to say something like "Can you chat with each other more?", but she was always blocked by the high emotions of one of them.
After all, wasn't she here to take the exam? Why didn't she just sit there and take first place without doing anything, and now she was playing the role of a chatbot being fought over by two kids? Delphinium was confused.
Is it really because of my good luck, or is the pressure of this assessment so low? Is it the same for other teams now? (End of this chapter)
