"How could this happen... Waaah..."
"It's okay, it just means we can't be there in person. You can still watch the broadcast, right?"
Sitting next to Xilin, Ning Feng patted her shoulder comfortingly and handed her a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"But, but... ah!"
"Okay, okay, it's alright, it's alright..."
He coaxed Xilin like a child, and it took a long time to finally control her emotions and calm her down.
Xilin was heartbroken, and Ning Feng, seeing her grief-stricken state, simply couldn't empathize with her.
He just thought his elf sister was really cute.
After completely opening her heart, it seems that Xilin is even less able to hide her true nature and has started to run around like a silly goose.
However, this mature, elfin woman only reveals her charmingly naive side to him...
That's fine too.
Ning Feng turned his head away, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide the smile that involuntarily crept onto his lips.
no!
She's heartbroken, it would be so inhuman of me to laugh out loud!
She'll probably cry even louder when she finds out.
Um?
Blinking, Ning Feng realized the hesitation in his heart.
...Hmm, why do I feel a little expectant?
After stroking his chin and thinking it over repeatedly, Ning Feng came to a conclusion—this must be an illusion.
“How could I be that kind of person? I’m not Ariana.”
While Ning Feng was struggling with his own conscience, Xilin, her eyes blurry with tears, moved her lips, wanting to defend herself.
No, this is not the same!
Xilin wanted to explain that she wasn't upset about not being able to go to the event, but rather about losing the opportunity because she had given up...
These are two different things.
But in the end, she just sniffed, couldn't find a suitable reason to explain, and silently chose to give up.
How do you explain that?
This is already embarrassing enough, do we have to say it again?
How am I supposed to explain this?
I hate it so much...
While Xilin was wallowing in self-pity, Jiang Wan was seriously and diligently searching for information, quickly reading through relevant materials about "Star Chaser".
I heard about it once before when I was interrogating Sophie with Xilin, but I never expected Ning Feng to be involved in this.
As the search continued, Shirin's expression gradually relaxed.
While not 100% safe, it is not very dangerous.
A report that compiled data from the last twenty competitions showed that deaths accounted for less than 10%, while the proportion of injuries was higher, but irreparable injuries were rare.
Compared to the brutal competitions passed down from the Dark Ages, such as the "Nightmare Duel Arena" where one of the two combatants must die and the mortality rate is as high as 50%, this is already very safe.
Ultimately, "Star Chaser" is primarily an entertainment competition aimed at keeping legends interested; it prioritizes fun over gore.
Through exploration and analysis, outsiders have identified two methods for winning the competition in "Star Chaser":
First, find the "star" and hand it to the staff to win. However, what the "star" is is uncertain and varies each time.
Second, after everyone else has been forced to leave the stage, the only one left is the final winner.
This is why Ning Feng calls it a battle royale game; just by looking at the rules, he can guess that there will be many "old sixes" (players who are considered "sixth-tier" in the game).
Finding the "star" is the first step, but you also have to protect it from being taken away by others, and finally, you have to ensure that you don't completely lose your fighting power.
There were a few other points that caught Jiang Wan's attention:
First, "Star Chaser" does not impose any restrictions on the contestants' abilities.
There are absolutely no restrictions. No matter your strength, whether you are at the first or second tier, or the third or fourth tier, it is not prohibited.
Even more so...
If some legendary figure truly has no shame and wants to enjoy the thrill of beating up children, Jasmine's family won't stop them.
If there is no explicit prohibition, then it is tacit approval, and that is within the rules.
Of course, no legend has ever actually done this since the event began, and the prizes offered by the Star Chaser competition are not worth such a huge embarrassment for them.
Once you participate, you become a performer in the competition, an actor for others to watch.
This is far too undignified for a legend.
Secondly, "Star Chaser" does not restrict the background of the contestants.
Whether they come from major Awakened organizations like the Watchers or the Silver Council, or from smaller families, or even so-called wild Awakened individuals, they can all participate.
Whether it's evil or justice, the Jasmine family, as a neutral party, treats everyone equally and welcomes all comers.
They would even prefer the participation of people who bring their own topics and huge conflicts.
Explosive events, public opinion, hostility, hype... In these matters, the Jasmine family is...
Everything is for profit; as long as it brings wealth, Jasmine won't care about anything else.
Many nobles outwardly scoffed at the Jaslin family's decadence and depravity, believing that the Jaslin family was more like unscrupulous merchants than a noble family with an ancient history.
They say they only use wealth to cover themselves up and use so-called frugality to hide their internal corruption.
They said they had betrayed the honor of the nobility!
But behind their backs, every single one of them was drooling with envy and jealousy.
Everyone criticizes Jasmine, yet everyone wants to be Jasmine.
