Chapter 2 Tita and Arths

Arriving on the second floor, Tita and Arths were already there, their eyes locking and sticking together. It was becoming increasingly difficult for the famous Li Hao to secretly date Ayouyou. Just a phone call couldn't solve the pain of missing each other.

Tita waved, signaling everyone to sit down, and pouted at Arths. "Well, here's a freeloader. I hope you guys don't mind."

Everyone laughed. After a few interactions, they were much more relaxed facing Arths. Success brought confidence. They were, after all, all finalists.

Li Hao was seated next to Arths by Tita. Everyone could see that Prince Arths was very interested in Li Hao. There were indeed many people interested in Li Hao now.

The food was delicious, and everyone was very excited because of Arths' presence. Tita let loose and chatted away. She never dreamed that Tianjing Mecha would defeat Galaxy and enter the finals. She grabbed Zhou Naiyi and chatted wildly. Her style was too similar to Zhou Naiyi's. She fell quickly, but Zhou Naiyi made it to the finals. She was really envious.

With Arths around, Zuo Xiaotang kept quiet, and Teacher Ma was also unusually restrained. Although known as a love guru and master of the fish pond, he was just a small fry in front of Arths. If it was just a super idol, that would be one thing, but beneath that gentle exterior, she occasionally revealed the aura of a fleet commander. It was truly amazing, but Arths' gaze towards Brother Hao was a little strange.

Was it just his imagination?

Tita was actually just creating an opportunity for the two to meet. There was no other way. Both of them were the focus of attention. If the media found out carelessly, she and Su Yu would be in trouble, but she couldn't resist Ayouyou's entanglement, so she came up with this idea, using the excuse of the two teams gathering together.

Ayouyou's breathtaking starry eyes occasionally showed tenderness, which made Old Li a little uneasy, and even made Tita's heart skip a beat. Don't cause trouble, please don't!

Under the table, Ayouyou tugged at Li Hao's hand. Li Hao restrained himself for a moment, then held it tightly... Ayouyou playfully scratched Li Hao's palm. Li Hao's iron will instantly crumbled, and they began to intertwine their little fingers.

Zhou Naiyi also seized the opportunity to inquire about Hailong's situation from Tita. She could feel Tita's affection for Tianjing Mecha. Tita didn't hide anything. In fact, except for Li Xiangshan, Hailong was completely new. From the current situation, it was difficult for Tianjing Mecha to overcome the Hailong mountain.

"Hailong is really strong. They already showed it during the Mid-Season Tournament. I just didn't expect them to be so powerful. If you ask me, you might as well ask Li Hao. He's the Demon King from that place, extremely powerful. Many popular idols are his defeated opponents, right, President Li!" Tita coughed a few times.

Damn those little actions. These two were a little too absorbed in their own world. This was a team gathering, not a private date for two. Pay attention to decency... and the feelings of others.

"It's not that much. The key is still Brother Zuo's performance. If he can defeat Anlita, we still have a chance," Li Hao said.

"Ah, Anlita?" Zuo Xiaotang was stunned when he suddenly heard Anlita's name. He reacted and quickly waved his hand. "I can't beat her."

"Don't say that. I feel like Zuo Xiaotang has a chance. They're not the same type. If the combat environment is suitable, a sudden shot might really have a chance, but you have to be brave. Don't be a coward!" Tita said. Although she was a Moon native, she really hoped to see a different kind of reversal.

Zuo Xiaotang couldn't help scratching his head, after all, in front of his goddess, "I'm not being a coward, it's just that her Zone realm is too far ahead of mine."

"That's exactly why your heavy sniper has room to perform."

"How is it? Are you confident?" Ayouyou asked, leaning close to Li Hao. To her and Li Hao, it was a natural movement, but to outsiders, it was a little intimate, after all, they weren't very familiar.

"I can't say I'm not. The match hasn't started yet," Li Hao said with a slight smile.

"Liar, you must have a plan." Ayouyou pouted. She didn't believe him. Senior was the best at fooling people.

"If I have a plan, it's a secret. I can't tell you." Li Hao shook his head.

Ayouyou wasn't happy. This guy really was... and then she pinched Li Hao's thigh under the table.

Li Hao tried his best to maintain his smile. Ouch, this was causing trouble, but what could he do? He could only endure it.

Everyone was also chatting, but they weren't blind. They felt Arths' interest in and closeness to Li Hao. This was... normal... yet very abnormal.

If Li Hao performed well and had a certain appeal, it was possible, but with Arths' height, it didn't seem quite enough. Could it be that Li Hao's more conventional appearance was actually more attractive?

In fact, everyone also felt that Li Hao and Arths were chatting closely. At first, they were a little restrained, but later they chatted about their own topics as if no one else was there.

Teacher Ma was filled with emotion. He could see that Arths had a good impression of Brother Hao. To be honest, a girl being interested in a boy was a very important step in their feelings, indicating that Brother Hao already had some potential.

But it was still a pity. Brother Hao's level wasn't high enough to handle it. Besides, he already had a girlfriend. These were fatal weaknesses.

But thinking about it, who would have thought a year ago that everyone could be at the same table with Arths, laughing and talking.

Because of Arths' arrival, it felt like the chefs here were performing beyond their normal level, but because of Arths' presence, it seemed like their taste buds weren't working as well.

Ma Long finally couldn't hold back and asked the question everyone was curious about, "Prince Arths, what kind of person do you like?"

Not only was Ma Long curious, but probably all of Arths' fans around the world were curious. Zuo Xiaotang also waited with wide eyes. As a senior hardcore fan, he wasn't the kind who thought his goddess had to be single.

Tita coughed a few times. "Ma Long, don't be so gossipy, you're a grown man!"

Teacher Ma's skin didn't care about such criticism. "I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Arths suddenly blinked and looked at Li Hao next to her. "Captain Li Hao, do you have a girlfriend?"

The dinner table fell silent. No matter what Arths meant, the question itself was very damaging.

Li Hao slapped his chest. "I'm so handsome, of course I do!"

Arths pursed her soft lips slightly, and nodded with a smile in her starry eyes. "What a pity."

777.

Ma Long looked at Li Hao's smug expression and felt like he had missed out on a hundred million.

The finals hadn't even started, but the comparison between the two teams had already begun among professionals on various platforms.

Vanguard position:

Hailong Team was undoubtedly Klein, Abyss Mantis Soul Core, a speed-type warrior who excelled at Phantom Mecha and was currently the most terrifying player to reap kills.

On the Tianjing Mecha side, everyone still thought that Cheng Konghai was more suitable for the vanguard, Deep Space Ant Soul Core, a strength-type warrior who excelled at Iron Armor Steel Fist. His Iron Armor Steel Fist had become a representative of aesthetic violence.

These two were both ace attackers besides the captain. It was a battle of speed and strength, with comparable Golden Zone power. From their performances along the way, Klein was slightly better. On the one hand, it was difficult to target assassin-type mecha. On the other hand, Hailong's opponents weren't as abnormal as Tianjing Mecha, and they weren't as well prepared. Cheng Konghai was very strong, but he had lost twice along the way, both times with his mecha being targeted and destroyed. This was also a problem with heavy armor. Even if Iron Armor Steel Fist was in the soul, the ultimate speed and agility were definitely not as good as light armor.

If Phantom Mecha and Iron Armor Steel Fist met, it would be a battle for rhythm. The one who controlled the rhythm would win the match. In the S-match confrontation vote, Klein slightly led Cheng Konghai with a slight advantage, mainly because Cheng Konghai was successfully targeted by Vulcan and Galaxy Team, which caused him to lose points.

Second point of contention.

On the Tianjing Mecha side, the best candidate given by everyone was Zuo Xiaotang. The Sniper God was a wild card. He was really strong when he was on fire, especially since he wasn't easily targeted. Before the outcome was decided, he had a 50-50 chance against anyone.

On the Hailong Team side, the second point was given to Anlita, Abyss Demon Butterfly, a sexy goddess. She crushed Zuo Xiaotang at the Golden Zone level and was one of the highest-level players in this S-match. Ye Tong, the representative of Earth's ancient martial arts, had no resistance in her hands, and her unique ability combat style was currently unsolvable. Black Ice power and space ability were both top-notch, so it depended on whether Zuo Xiaotang could display his superb marksmanship, but if Anlita caught him, there would be no hope.

But in any case, everyone felt that Zuo Xiaotang was the most suitable to deal with Anlita.

In the selection, Anlita versus Zuo Xiaotang was an 8-2 split.

At the third strategic point, Hailong Team gave Li Xiangshan, Brother Shan from the Moon, who finally ushered in spring. Along the way in the S-match, Li Xiangshan was also receiving much attention. As the oldest warrior with the most Moon qualifications, he was also quite popular. At first, it felt like he was being neglected, and many people felt unfairly treated, especially when Li Xiangshan showed his strength, which also made many people despise Silian's pay-to-win attributes. But in the battle against North Carolina, everyone was convinced by Silian. This wasn't pay-to-win, this was definitely the son of God, the heir of the Morpheus family. He could have coasted to victory, but he had to rely on his talent. Therefore, the arrangement and position for Li Xiangshan were also taken for granted.

As the most famous heavy armor from the Moon, the technically comprehensive Li Xiangshan was definitely a strong point wherever he went.

On the Tianjing Mecha side, the choice was Musashi. Musashi had become the last representative of the ancient martial arts families. He stumbled along the way, with flashes of brilliance, but also various failures. But from a strength point of view, Musashi was actually first-class, but not top-tier. However, what impressed everyone was his resilience, never giving up, and always full of passion for the team. This passion could infect everyone, but in a match, relying solely on passion and will was not enough. Musashi still belonged to the type that accumulated experience and shone with time. It felt like the future belonged to him. Currently, he was still at a disadvantage.

In this match, Musashi versus Li Xiangshan was a 4-6 split.
