After Red volunteered to pull the two fools apart, Wu Jin quickly clutched the key and ran off to the North Tower.

The fragrance of some unknown plants floated on the summer breeze. The Crosson trainees, who had just finished a fierce battle, pa.s.sed under the streetlights in twos and threes.

In order to build up their musicality, Ying Xiangxiang had changed the background music from elegant orchestral music to the theme song for the Crosson Show.

The pathway, gra.s.s, and even the side of the building echoed with segments of lyrics, like One in a hundred, ah~ Brave and fearless~, and Marching forward bravely for the audience~.

At the foot of the hill not far away, the twin towers cast a dark and majestic shadow against the bright lighting.

There was nearly an hour before the curfew. In the past, the trainees would spend the night in either the training grounds or their dormitories, but because the holidays were near, people chose to run around outside the tower instead of going back inside.

There were seven or eight trainees lying horizontally on the lawn, and the tall, burly one in the middle of the group was Old Qin: Qin Jinbao, of Dolma Entertainment.

After finis.h.i.+ng his task of dancing in the vice c-position for the performance, Qin Jinbao was a lot more relaxed. He was s.p.a.ced out on the gra.s.s, listening to the rambling from an old radio

But it was said that Xiang Ji led soldiers to kill Xiang Yang in the west, killing the Kings baby. They burned down the Qin palace, and the fires burned for three months, Old Qin

Wu Jin turned a corner and headed towards the North Tower.

Qin Jinbao suddenly bit down on a blade of gra.s.s and lifted his head up to wave to Wu Jin, Hey, Little Witch, come over and laze about with us! Feels great!

Wu Jin grinned and shook his head.

Wu Jin had helped Qin Jinbao with his dance ch.o.r.eography before, and although they hadnt encountered each other head-on during the compet.i.tion, he still completely admired him. Seeing that Wu Jin was heading towards the North Tower, he seemed surprised before realizing, Youre going to see the match grounds makes sense, they have probably signed a contract with the new sponsor by now.

Wu Jin had only thought of that now.

The venue location for the next elimination match wouldnt change. The cellular automata that had been across from the North Tower this morning had been nearly completely dismantled in order to make room for the next set up.

The newly built foundations and the construction team sent by the next sponsor could be seen from the windows in the North Tower. It was said that experienced contestants could guess the environment for the next compet.i.tion with a mere glance at the foundations.

Qin Jinbao waved and continued to listen to his Qin Han romance. Wu Jin walked into the North Tower, the cool breeze from the temperature control was.h.i.+ng over him and making even the tips of his ears perk up in comfort.

After two elimination matches, there were less than 300 trainees left of the original 500. Compared with previous times, the originally crowded North Tower now seemed empty and quiet.

The white walls were covered with graffiti from previous contestants, and one of the headings, 3019, Fighting Again at Crosson had many signatures underneath it. Many of the remaining trainees had lost roommates during the elimination matches, and had hung sign on the doors:

Vacancy-young-man-sincerely-looking-for-roommate, no-bad-habits, interested-parties-quickly-contactk2026;

Wu Jin looked out from the stairway and, as expected, saw the a.s.sembled components for the foundation of the new arena.

He was unable to get a good view in the dark and could only see batches of steel being transported via containers, then spread out by industrial construction robots.

The sponsor for the third elimination match hadnt yet been announced, but the walls around the construction were marked with an un.o.btrusive logo.

A silver, six-pointed star.

Wu Jin looked over it a few more times and opened up his terminal to perform a search, but there were too many organizations that used a six pointed star as their logo for any clues to be found.

Wu Jin could only let it go temporarily and head to Wei s.h.i.+s bedroom. His eyes were crystal bright as he took the key out of his pocket.

The door squeaked as it opened.

The big boss hadnt returned yet, and there was no one inside.

The room was clean and tidy, and there was little sign of anyone living in the s.p.a.ce. Of the two beds, one seemed to not have been used for a long time, and the quilt on top of the other bed that was close to the window was folded very meticulously.

At this time, Wu Jins expression was full of the joy of going to other childrens homes to play as he pulled out a chair next to the table and sat down properly, his eyes darting to and fro as he looked around everywhere.

Almost every trainees bedroom had a distinct personal touch. For example, Thin Fires room had a mirror three steps in from the door, Wu Jin had pasted tape everywhere to prevent the rabbit from falling down, and Wei Yan would watch dog blood idol dramas all the time.

However, the place where Wei s.h.i.+ was staying seemed both quiet and cold.

Wu Jins eyes swept to the washroom and suddenly thought about how the big boss had been wrapped in a towel last time he had knocked on the door, water droplets sliding down the curves of his muscles envy immediately appeared in his eyes.

Speaking of which, big brother had taken away his protein powder last time and replaced it with two candies that seemed to be of little use

A breeze came in through the window. Wu Jin, who had just finished dancing, was bored and idle as he waited for Wei s.h.i.+. He lay down bonelessly on the table like a droopy-eared rabbit spirit.

He woke up abruptly when the night breeze brought with it a familiar scent

Wu Jin only realized at that moment that he was still wearing the big bosss coat!

He quickly took off the big bosss coat and folded it properly before placing it in an empty spot in the cabinet. He had no idea that the entire lining was already covered in a rabbit spirits soft fragrance.

At this time, several messages appeared on his terminal.

Zoe: Little Witch, where are you? Come on, get back to the company quickly! Captain Lin and the others are back!

Wu Jin was stunned.

White Moonlights professional battle team captain, Lin Jue.

Wu Jin had only been signed with White Moonlight for a month. Although hed never seen the companys battle team, he was still influenced by his surroundings, and his fellow trainees were all full of praise for Captain Lin and the other professional players.

White Moonlights professional team had been eliminated in the first round of group matches in this years Star League. Even though there was an earth-shaking number of haters outside, the team members were still their seniors who had worked for the company for nearly a decade, allowing White Moonlight to stand firm.

Only, he hadnt thought that they would return at this time.

On the other side, Zoe was still urging, The team manager is coming to the Crosson Show to pick us up. Well meet at the entrance in ten minutes. Ill go and pick up that fool Caesar This time, Captain Lin will pick out several trainees and reserve members for special training. Little Witch, you need to try and grab a spot. Remember, special training and normal training is very different, and itll be crucial for the next elimination match

Wu Jin nodded very seriously. His eyes dropped for a moment after he ended the communication.

Where was the big boss

He finally took one last reluctant look around, then left a note for Wei s.h.i.+. He also sent him a message on his terminal before heading back to the South Tower with his backpack on his back.

Wu Jin didnt have much, so it didnt take long for him to get ready. He was cuddling the rabbit when he ran into Wen Lin, who had come to help Caesar pack up.

This White Moonlight support player tossed down Caesars bags, then skillfully stomped down with his foot. The luggage that couldnt be closed immediately clanged shut, properly subdued.

Wen Lin shrugged helplessly, Caesar was caught for fighting and reprimanded.

Wu Jin: !!!

The two of them walked quickly to the entrance of the Crosson base and came across the program producer smiling gently, casually handing Caesar over as he spoke with White Moonlight Battle Teams manager.

Caesar wasnt the only one. Thin Fire and Red were both crouching on the ground.

Two small stage managers were chattering to the side

The two of them were fighting, but how did they manage to involve that Red?

Hey, Red was just watching the show from the side. What did Instructor Ying say seeing two insects fighting in the gra.s.s, and enjoying the show! He didnt try to persuade them to stop or intervene, so she simply caught all three of them together

The team manager was diplomatic, and the program producer also took the money tree Wu Jin into consideration, so the two of them came to an unspoken agreement to let Caesars incident go. Thin Fire and Red were also set free again.

Only, when Red saw that Wu Jin was leaving, he was given a scare and immediately called Wei s.h.i.+, Brother Wei! Bad news! Little Witch was picked up and taken away by his battle team

At the top of the Crosson hill, Wei s.h.i.+ made a sound of acknowledgement. He looked at the suspension car that was disappearing into the distance and toyed with the dark chip card of an unknown material that he was holding between two fingers.

On the other side of the communication, in Azure Cosmos, Researcher Song was currently giving him a report.

Other than Zhi Wei and the six federal military divisions, the Norma Constellation and Southern Cross Constellation have all shown intentions of cooperating with Floating City.

The second batch of funds is in place, and weve already confirmed with the Floating Research Inst.i.tute that the research can continue. Today, we pa.s.sed six A-level project audits, which were primarily focused on the gene industry and new energy

Also, Researcher Song looked at his report and hesitated slightly, Someone said that Shao Yu has been seen at the Federal border.

Wei s.h.i.+s eyes were indifferent, Strengthen the guard.

Researcher Song nodded.

It had already been four years since Shao Yu left the R-Code base. n.o.body knew where hed been during that time.

According to Researcher Songs speculations, Shao Yu was likely to have left the Azure Star Region, or even the Federation, completely. Out of the three primary human-shaped weapons in the R-Code base back thenShao Yu was absolutely the scariest, craziest one.

Although

Researcher Song looked at Wei s.h.i.+ subconsciously. Wei s.h.i.+ had done more than Shao Yu.

Researcher Song let out a heartfelt sigh. There was reverence in his eyes.

After finis.h.i.+ng his work report, Researcher Song squinted at the chip card in Wei s.h.i.+s hand and thought of the gossip hed heard from Red. He said, This should be for contestant Little Witch Ill help you activate it. Just give it to him within ten minutes, and perform the biological verification binding

It was at this time that Reds message came through. Researcher Song stilled, Eh, Contestant Wu isnt at the base?

Wei s.h.i.+ casually tossed the chip card into his pocket, but it caught on a piece of paper

The support flyer from the Crosson Show trainee fans that the program team had given him before the compet.i.tion.
