Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 637 Lanqi and Talia’s Completion Rewards
It was a Saturday in midsummer, and at ten o'clock, Golden Bee Amusement Park welcomed its most glorious moment of the day.
Suddenly, fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the night sky, the colorful sparks like the first drop of ink in the darkness. More fireworks joined in, and the light of the fireworks reflected on the silhouette of the castle on the north side of the park.
Beneath the scorching sky, millions of starlight seemed to blend into every corner of the space, immersing the entire amusement park in a sea of fantastic light.
The noise of the crowd also diminished, and everyone's eyes focused on the sky, their faces illuminated by the flickering light.
At that moment, Loren sat in front of the open-air theater in the central courtyard, his hands trembling.
He finally understood.
If he wasn't careful and ended up participating in that game, he would be the one sitting in the classroom holding the blackboard.
It might already be too late!
It was an inescapable execution ground—a path with no return and no way to death.
Even the ninth-level Shadow World didn't seem as terrifying to him.
"Juliana, it's unknowingly ten o'clock. Let me take you back early."
Loren looked at Juliana beside him, whose attention had been drawn to the fireworks, and said seriously.
"Eh?"
Juliana came back to her senses and looked at Loren.
She quickly realized it.
If a single woman like her went back too late with a man, the students would inevitably have thoughts.
As a teacher with the Yaroran academic visiting team, she was staying at the Ithilite Academy during this time.
"Alright then."
Juliana responded with a smile, and followed Loren as he stood up from the crowd and began to leave the auditorium along the aisle.
She had heard from Miss Antanas that if a man wasn't entirely proper, he would try to date her as late as possible, at a dating spot far from her residence. Then, when the shuttle buses stopped running, he might take the opportunity to go to a hotel or something. Loren was obviously not that kind of person; he was too upright and honest.
Although she wouldn't have minded spending a little more time with Loren today, her love assistant also needed to rest and get off work. She couldn't keep dragging her love assistant to keep helping her.
The two walked away from the bustling area of the central courtyard, and Loren's heart finally settled.
Their steps were unhurried as they passed through the lively game area of Golden Bee Amusement Park.
The surrounding game facilities and challenge projects were filled with the sounds of mechanical joysticks moving, cheers for scoring, and the slight complaints from players constantly trying.
"It's such a pity, how did today go by so quickly?"
Juliana sighed.
The lights on the road were brighter than in the auditorium in front of the stage, and the more she felt the excitement of others and the faint reluctance in their hearts, the more clearly she realized that today was coming to an end.
The novel experiences with Loren, putting aside official business, just the two of them spending time together like this, made her heart race every moment.
She originally agreed to such a date by accident, but she didn't expect it to be so wonderful.
Although she had somewhat of a hellish mindset as a teacher of that group of sacrificed students at the Yaroran Royal Academy, she was truly grateful that she had taken this step.
"I also feel like today went by quickly."
Loren felt like he had just been eating and eating all day.
But he didn't expect Juliana to be such a big eater.
Finally, they reached the exit of Golden Bee Amusement Park.
The surrounding hustle and bustle seemed to fade away as they stepped out of the amusement park.
"Then next time, when you're not so busy with work, let's come out and have fun together like this again."
Juliana suggested.
"..."
Loren turned to look at her.
Compared to the timetable, the love instructor had a higher priority instruction: if at the end of a date, the girl actively invites you to another date, accepting means that it is very likely to go further in the future, and rejecting means telling her that you need to draw a clear line in the future.
"Okay."
After careful consideration, Loren replied firmly.
"Phew."
Juliana breathed a sigh of relief, her heart pounding.
She was still worried that Loren would reject her.
Her love assistant had told her that if you invite a boy to a date next time at the end of a date, if the boy accepts, it means he thinks your appetite is just right, and if he rejects, it means he thinks you ate too much today.
The starlight in the night sky and the lights of the distant city intertwined into a long-lens picture, accompanying them as they strolled leisurely along the riverside avenue.
Loren recalled his schedule.
In addition to his tight work schedule, even if he could free up a whole day, he would probably have to date Juliana, Almis, and Florence at the same time.
Originally, Loren thought the instructor's multi-threading theory was almost absurd, but now he was a believer in the instructor's theory.
The instructor said he would win, so there must be no problem.
…
The commotion in the central courtyard of Golden Bee Amusement Park continued.
Finally, when the event settlement was completed, the arcade graffiti space gradually dissolved, and Lanqi and Talia were sent back to the real world.
The lights on the stage refocused, the pixel elements dissipated, and they walked out of the Radiant Void Gate and arrived at the prize area behind the central courtyard of Golden Bee Amusement Park.
Many viewers still hadn't left, and they could hear some cheers, which made the two of them particularly embarrassed.
Inside the prize center.
"You are the first couple this year to successfully complete fourteen rounds of questions. I wish you a happy marriage."
The event administrator miss, wearing a golden little bee mascot costume, sincerely wished.
"..."
The eyes of both of them were complicated.
Is there any chance that we are not a couple?
The event administrator handed a box of Animal Forest chocolate gift box and two magic cards in immortal crystal sealed boxes to the two of them.
They avoided each other's gaze and quickly accepted the prizes.
Unsurprisingly, Lanqi gave the Animal Forest chocolate gift box to Tata, or rather, he would have given it to Tata to eat anyway.
As for this pair of bracelets, both of them appraised them slightly when they got them.
[Celestial Wood Golden Bee Bracelet (Male)]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: Purple Rare]
[Tier: 1]
[Effect: Only takes effect after both parties are bound. Reduces own 1.3% spirit attribute, gains 1.4% spirit attribute bonus from the other party.]
[Note: First prize of the first limited edition commemorative prize of the Love Obstacle Corridor Academy!]
The bracelets made of Celestial Wood and Gold present different shades of gold and green, like layers of leaves in the forest. The streamlined, minimalist style features a conspicuous golden bee shining with a warm luster, its wings are meticulously detailed, and the lines mimic real textures, resembling the vivid form of a bee flapping its wings.
"Meow meow meow, it's so pretty."
Cat Boss had already dashed to the backstage and jumped on Lanqi's head again, staring at the bracelet in his hand with the same gaze as Lanqi.
Lanqi turned his head and looked at Talia's bracelet.
Except for the different appearance, the effects were no different.
If considered as an equipment card, its attributes are almost non-existent, even if both parties have the same spirit attribute, it is only a 0.1% increase.
It is mainly an ornamental commemorative magic card.
In the crafts that have risen in popularity in this era, it is popular to make some beautiful jewelry into magic cards for portability.
"If I use this, I'll have to reduce my attributes and give you spirit for nothing."
Talia looked at the bracelet and muttered to herself.
As an eighth-level, her spirit attribute is not on the same level as Lanqi's.
For Lanqi, this one fee can add a lot of spirit attribute, which is still worth it, but for her, it is both a loss of card slot and a loss of attribute.
