With Admiral Baiâs accurate reply, Su Xiaocai boldly told Xing Miao that such an invitation had no future.
Xing Miao was very grateful to Su Xiaocai for explaining this to her. She also thought about joining the military now, but she decided to finish the competition with her teammates first before considering it.
The person who sent the invitation promised a lot of benefits.
Luckily, she didnât agree to it at the time.
After all, sheâs not a technical expert like Professor Ai Shengping. Inviting her in would mean starting as a new recruit. Being surrounded by strangers, she might as well stay with Qingqing and Sasha.
Even if they were assigned to different camps, they could still communicate with each other, knowing they were working together, she would feel much more at ease.
After the competition, what attracted the most attention was the combat rankings.
Yun Ji remained in first place, while Vegetable Farmers, with their relentless antics, were very annoying to other teams and still ranked in the top three.
They were voted the team that plays most unpredictably.
Every match was filled with entertainment value.
Next, the challenge list was released, announced by both the organizers and New World.
Fifty active Mecha Master officers, along with "entertainment-focused" retired admirals and alumni from the previous year, including Su Xiaocai, were prominently listed.
The top 100 contestants could choose any two people to compete against in a friendly match tomorrow, with scheduled time slots.
"What am I seeing?"
"I canât believe my eyes, scrolling to the end, thereâs Su Xiaocaiâs name."
"Cai Bao is really taking the stage? The organizers are amazing, they said they have a way to get her on stage, and she actually went to play. But who would challenge Cai Bao?"
"Secretly asking military training, howâs Cai Baoâs mecha piloting?"
"No idea how many matches Cai Bao will participate in."
"Iâm scared to see Cai Bao lose badly."
"I donât get why Cai Bao wants to participate, wouldnât being a big CEO be better?"
"Could it be she wonât lose at all? Iâm from military training, sheâs not going to lose, rest assured and watch."
"As a coach, she must have some skills."
"Then Iâm relieved, why canât I stand to see Cai Bao lose. Even though I really like other contestants."
"Thatâs funny, I want to see if anyone challenges her, hope no one picks her, with lawsuits hanging over her, is it appropriate for her to appear on the field?"
"The lawsuits were resolved long ago, she won, and the others are just lawsuits from other victims, legal illiterates."
"Exactly, in the later lawsuits, she was only helping by funding to hire lawyers. Neither the victims nor the suspects were clarified, just blackening for the sake of it."
Su Xiaocai taking the stage certainly couldnât simply participate, with the opportunity given by the organizers, she wouldnât let it pass.
She accepted the peripherals and tea saplings, but such things were far from satisfying her.
She wanted to advertise for the upcoming launch of low-end mechas.
If it were a regular match, it wouldnât be appropriate to insert ads, as all ads in the process needed approval and couldnât be freely placed.
In a friendly match, one could do as they pleased.
Su Xiaocai expected at most one or two people to challenge her.
In the end, out of a hundred people, twenty wanted to challenge her.
When the list came out in the evening, Su Xiaocai and the Vegetable Farmers, along with the professor and Ji Li, held a small celebration party in the labâs back garden.
The labâs refrigerator was stuffed full of food.
She urgently needed someone to solve the agony of a full fridge; many people could relate to that pain.
It had reached a point where it had to be consumed externally.
They just wanted to celebrate a little, which was perfect timing.
Su Xiaocai didnât accept the disciplesâ and traineesâ gifts, only eating those made by Xiao Wanzi.
Their barbecue masterpieces, cooked with the most primitive charcoal, were either ashy, charred black, or bleeding a bit.
They didnât eat it themselves, but kept boasting and offering them to her.
"Thanks a lot, guys, you must want me to be unable to enter the simulation pod tomorrow."
"Hehe." Wu Qingqing cut away the blackened parts and continued grilling under Xiao Wanziâs guidance.
Eating skewers while looking at the list of friendly match challengers, Su Xiaocai felt more unsettled, "Are all the top 100 this boring?"
Hu Ping walked over to Su Xiaocai, "Itâs just that boring, or do you think your vote ranking came out of nowhere."
Regarding gossip from various schools, Su Xiaocai wasnât as informed as Hu Ping.
Hu Ping sent her the link, saying, "Look, this was organized by other schools, their coaches all want to know what your strength is, so they initiated a vote for you on the forums. At first, I thought you would never participate, so I didnât pay attention."
Hu Ping rarely acted so seriously, then Su Xiaocai saw him naturally taking a skewer from her to eat.
