Chapter 134 Soft Food, Hard Eating

Li Hao received congratulations from Principal Long at the first moment, who told him to keep up the good work and scale new heights. He wouldn't dare to talk about scaling heights, but at least he had a return ticket now. Having fought to this extent, all that was left was prayer.

Li Hao came excitedly to the place where he was supposed to meet A Youyou, but Tita and Su Yu were also there. This was…

"What's with that resentful look when you see us? It seems Captain Li has some complaints about us," Su Yu said jokingly.

"Then should we leave?" Tita stood up. "It seems we're not worthy of being with the top four…"

"Oh dear, what are you talking about? It's my honor, I'm just too shocked."

Humble little Li Zi went online instantly. He couldn't afford to offend any of them, especially since he still had a headache about how to smooth things over with Zuo Xiaotang.

Su Yu sized up Li Hao, feeling quite emotional. This kid had actually beaten Vulcan, it was so unbelievable. Making it to the top four, for Tianjing Mech Academy, it was something they wouldn't dare to dream of. Yet, she couldn't feel any excitement from Li Hao. Was that how it should be?

"Li Hao, when will my thing arrive? You're dragging it out a bit too long," Su Yu asked.

Li Hao was stunned for a moment before he remembered. Before he could open his mouth, Tita, who was beside her, became interested. "What thing? So mysterious."

"My Ocean Heart, of course." Su Yu was full of anticipation. After all, she had already bragged about it. In their circle, face was more important than anything else, especially since those rivals would constantly try to put her down. How could she, who cared so much about face, tolerate that? Now, the arrow was on the string, and if Li Hao couldn't get it, she would have to borrow A Youyou's to put on a show.

"What!" Tita exclaimed in surprise. "Li Hao, you can get that?"

Li Hao waved his hand helplessly. "It's not exactly…"

"Li Hao, we're good sisters, right? When you're in trouble, I'm always there for you. Now's the time to test our friendship…"

"Sister Tita, Li Hao is just trying. The chances of that are slim," A Youyou quickly tried to relieve Li Hao. They couldn't get it even if they wanted to, and she had heard that there was some problem on Kepler. Now, everything related to Kepler's resources was expensive and hard to find, let alone the Ocean Heart.

"A Youyou, that's where you're wrong. You don't understand Li Hao enough. This person is unfathomable, capable of doing what ordinary people can't. Li Hao, the time to test you has come." Tita wasn't about to let go. After seeing A Youyou's, she had been so excited that she couldn't sleep for days. No girl could resist it. If it were anyone else, she would have already snatched it.

"It's not impossible. Give me some more time. It should be possible after the S Tournament," Li Hao said. In fact, he had hidden two fragments of the Ocean Heart when he killed that lord last time, but he couldn't use his energy to bring them back to Earth during the S Tournament.

This time, it was the three girls' turn to be speechless. Tita stared blankly at Li Hao. She was just making noise, envious of her. She didn't expect Li Hao to be able to get it. This thing couldn't be bought with money at all. Teasing Li Hao and seeing his troubled look was quite fun.

But this…

Su Yu grabbed Li Hao's hand. "You mean the goods will arrive after the S Tournament? Are you sure?"

"There shouldn't be any problem, but it won't be as big as A Youyou's. That's something you can only find by chance."

"Do I have one too?" Tita pointed to herself.

"Ahem, it just so happens that there are two this time. Any more, and there really won't be any." Li Hao didn't dare to boast anymore. If there were any more aunts or little sisters, where would he find another lord? That would be courting death.

Tita rolled her eyes at Li Hao flirtatiously and took A Youyou's arm. "How can this be? A Youyou, how can you be so lucky? You can just pick up a Li Hao by traveling to Tianjing. Take me with you next time there's something like this."

Su Yu was also smiling from ear to ear. She was already looking forward to seeing the faces of those plastic sisters. Li Hao had his advantages, he wouldn't make empty promises. She could still tell that. She had an eye for people who were capable.

Under the table, Li Hao and A Youyou's hands were already clasped together. He gently squeezed A Youyou's small hand to reassure her. Although he might be destined to live off a woman, he was also thinking about

Eating soft food the hard way.

Su Yu and Tita, two single dogs, wouldn't miss the opportunity to tease the two of them. As long as Li Hao kept a sense of propriety, Su Yu wouldn't care. Besides, she was eating his food. Tita was more concerned about the semifinals. Li Hao was aiming for the championship.

"How's your preparation for the semifinals going? Are you confident?" Tita asked as she ate.

"Ah, prepare what?" Li Hao was eating well. He was wondering if he would have to pay.

"Not preparing?"

"With A Youyou, this lucky star, we're sure to win!"

"Damn, then how did I lose? Look at you two showing off."

"Li Hao is right, A Youyou can bring good luck. It's because you're not strong enough. Half of Tianjing Mech Academy's achievement in entering the top four is thanks to A Youyou." Su Yu would accept any praise for A Youyou.

"Indeed, A Youyou has too many fans. We were really able to advance to the top four because of her," Li Hao said.

A Youyou gently nudged Li Hao. "What are you saying? So cheesy."

Li Hao quickly brought up the matter of encouraging Zuo Xiaotang. Eating a meal was definitely not a problem, but the problem was how to go as Arths without causing trouble for A Youyou.

"I know it's difficult. Everyone, help me think of a way," Li Hao said. "If I stand Zuo Xiaotang up, the semifinals will definitely be a disaster."

Zuo Xiaotang had become the most reliable madman in Tianjing Mech Academy. As long as he went crazy, he would slash anyone he saw.

"Just this?" Su Yu was stunned. "You're so strange. You look pretty stupid sometimes, but you're quite smart. When I think you're smart, you're a little stupid again. Have Tianxing Mech Academy have dinner with you, and Arths can go, right? Anyway, you've always had a good relationship."

Li Hao revealed an admiring look. "Aunt is amazing!"

"You little brat, you dare to tease me too. Okay, I'm out of here. A Youyou, go home early!"

As she left, the contented Su Yu didn't forget to remind them. Seeing that this kid was so sensible, she would turn a blind eye.

With Su Yu gone, Tita also left sensibly, finding an excuse to leave. Finally, only the two of them were left, facing each other…

"Do you want to listen to my new song?" A Youyou bit her lip gently.

Mmm-hmm~

It was a joyful night. The next day, the semifinals draw came out.

Hailong Team vs. North Carolina Team. Tianjing Mech Academy Team vs. Galaxy Team. These four teams also had unprecedentedly distinct characteristics. Hailong Team was jokingly called the P2W team by fans. Xili'an once again proved that you can do whatever you want with money. Money directly lifted Hailong Team into the top four, and he hadn't even fought much. But facing North Carolina, he didn't have much time left.

The nine-headed dragon of North Carolina had always been called the uncrowned king. For Chao Qinglong, this was really an excellent opportunity. The outside world generally believed that, compared to the other three teams, Hailong was the weaker one. After Tianjing and Galaxy clashed, whoever advanced to the finals would be battered and bruised. North Carolina had become a favorite to win the championship.

Tianjing Mech Academy and Galaxy Team. Before the start of the S Tournament, putting these two teams together was an insult to Galaxy Team. But now, even Galaxy's supporters didn't dare to say that they would win for sure.

Tianjing Mech Academy had become the biggest dark horse in history, called the Dark Force by fans. They had been slaying kings all the way, and now they had encountered the popular Galaxy Team in the semifinals. In the past, dark horses were often very lucky. Their opponents were either not strong enough or suffered injuries. But this time, Tianjing Mech Academy had encountered first-class powerhouses all the way. Looking at it now, they were really terrifying. If they could get past Galaxy, no one would know what to say.

Currently, Galaxy was fully healthy and could fight at full strength. On the Tianjing side, Wu Zang could make a comeback in time for the semifinals, but his condition would definitely be affected. The situation was actually not optimistic. Not to mention Galaxy's home advantage, War God Maxis was invincible when he was healthy. The gold content of his championship was much higher than Van Liewitt's, and these people were all his defeated opponents. This year, Galaxy's lineup was also unprecedentedly strong, and they hadn't suffered too much damage in the previous matches. To be rational, it would be really difficult for Tianjing Mech Academy to break through.

Unless… Li Hao and his teammates could create another miracle. Everyone, including those on Earth, felt the same way. On paper, Galaxy Team was indeed the most terrifying, but Li Hao seemed to be good at dealing with this kind of team. It could only be said that this was a match where no one knew the outcome.

Galaxy Team had the best logistics system and had analyzed the characteristics of each member of Tianjing Mech Academy in great detail. The only uncertain point was Li Hao.

Mech battles are battles of heroes. Vulcan's final defeat was largely related to Basta's failure. This was also an important factor in Tianjing Wu's rise. Could Li Hao defeat War God Maxis?

In Galaxy Team's war room, three-dimensional images of Li Hao, Cheng Konghai, and others were suspended in the air, surrounded by various data analyses. The leader and tactical analyst, Zola, had been preparing this detailed plan for a long time.

Maxis, Vega, Taichen, Zizi, Mendoza, Kui Xing. They had no experience with this semifinal opponent, or rather, knowing that this would happen, Zola had already made a prediction that their semifinal opponent would be Tianjing Mech Academy. In fact, Zola had tried to change their fortunes. The future was uncertain, and there would be variables. If they could choose, they would want to face North Carolina. But fate could not be shaken, and they had to face Tianjing Mech Academy.

Zola was also a member of the Apocalypse and possessed a unique ability. Although he was a non-combatant, his predictive ability, combined with an ancient algorithm, could produce an effect far beyond that of Tita.

Vulcan Team had given them a good demonstration. If they couldn't eliminate Tianjing Mech Academy in the solo matches, then it was necessary to preserve their strength and enter the team battle. Basta had come close to victory, but failed at the last step. In fact, even if Basta had given up the fifth match, the team battle might not have been won, but it would have allowed Galaxy Team to see more.
