Chapter 225 - Brilliant Stars

There was a bang!

After all the projection boxes at flag point No.1 were opened up, a small signal firework exploded, and the fragrance of food swept over with the mountain breeze––

The first group of five players arrived like a swarm!

Wu Jin’s goal was clear. He reached out towards the handheld wrap, his happy pupils reflecting happy handheld wraps!

Beside him, Red grabbed the beef tenderloin, Ming Yao went for the crab sticks, one in each hand, before getting squeezed out by Qin Jinbao. Wei Yan, whose back was still straight and stiff, was at the back.

There were many hungry trainees waiting outside the iron railings at flag point No.10. Caesar howled, “Wei Yan! Big brother! Fatty pork, beef ribs––” Zoe wasn’t willing to be outdone, “Corn, sausages!”

Thin Fire came out through the crowd, holding a large iron basin as wide as the sea in his hands. He’d actually managed to take down the little frog facility’s frog head cover. He threw it across the railings, “Use this, use this to hold everything!”

Wu Jin and Wei Yan joined hands to pick it up, padding the bottom with a layer of cling film and responding to the ma.s.ses’ demands, throwing a large amount of food ingredients and materials into the basin. From nearby, Red was also in high spirits, “That’ll do! How will we go down the mountain––”

Their field of vision was dark, but a small rail that led to the foot of the mountain suddenly lit up, colorful LED lights s.h.i.+ning bright.

A tramcar that could carry over 20 people approached slowly.

The players at the top of the mountain paused, then raced over to the tramcar. The tramcar sped down from the top of the mountain, the mountain wind stinging Ming Yao’s eyes and causing him to explain to his captain in a loud voice, “I’m not crying, I’m really not crying!”

Wei Yan was still stiffly holding onto the little frog skull basin, while Caesar chattered and kicked up a fuss as he dug through the contents, “I’m so hungry, is there any sas.h.i.+mi––” Red’s excited voice drifted towards the back from the front of the tramcar, “I! Am standing! In the hunting wind~~”

The Crosson base lawn.

Ying Xiangxiang’s eyes curved with her smile, “Did you hear that? They’re coming back.”

The group’s live stream room.

The camera zoomed in, showing the tramcar that descended rapidly from the back mountain, filled with the pulse of youth. The trainees were all crammed in together, laughing and swearing.

When the trainees reached the ground, the stage managers smiled as they handed out support projection boxes to the players who didn’t make it into the top five.

The scrolling comments in the live broadcast were happy and joyful.

“Real-Domineering-n.o.ble Prince-Little Ming! Just looking at the nebula landscape in Father Ming and Mother Ming’s video, it should be a luxury house worth hundreds of millions of credits?”

“Little Witch’s battle team is so warm! Little Witch’s big brothers are also very warm! That big brother in Little Witch’s family looks like a PhD, no wonder Little Witch’s so smart. I want to pick up Little Witch and give him a kiss!”

“Was that Wei Yan’s little sister in the video? Her gentle features are very Western.”

“No, that’s Professor Alfaso’s granddaughter! Little sister Miss Lisa. Last month, during the Federal retrial of the R-Code Base, Wei Yan and Lisa appeared in court together. The professor protected Wei Yan back then, and now Wei Yan is protecting Lisa… Hahaha, they’re not a couple. Lisa’s Star Blog shows that she has a boyfriend, and it seems that they met when she was studying in Floating City’s scientific research inst.i.tute. Lisa often posts photos with Little Witch, so it seems that Little Witch and Wei Yan have a good private relations.h.i.+p!”

“In short, to Lisa, Wei Yan is her most reliable family member!”

The ingredients were quickly put on the grill.

Colorful virtual projections hung above the lawn. The Thin Army had written a new song for Thin Fire, and Caesar’s mother laughed heartily in the video––

It continued until the first, glossy skewer of beef wrapped mushrooms was ready to eat, hot off the grill.

Wu Jin pulled the fatty beef skewer off the grill and hadn’t even opened his mouth when his elbow sank slightly.

Wei s.h.i.+, who’d disappeared for a full three hours, finally showed up.

The air by the campfire was hot yet comfortable in the summer night.

It wasn’t too hot even when the two of them leaned together.

The two beef mushroom rolls were strung up on a skewer stick, half of which was destroyed by Wu Jin, and the other half was handed over very naturally to Wei s.h.i.+. After eating a bunch of skewers, Wu Jin picked up a small spatula and patted the handheld wraps on the baking tray, making them fluffier and softer.

On the stage, Ying Xiangxiang finished singing several songs from her alb.u.m and had just set down her mic. At this time, there were trainees trying to make Blood Pigeon sing. Blood Pigeon’s expression was serious, but he was looking left and right and evading the topic. Ultimately, the respected Instructor Blood Pigeon couldn’t hold up against the three a.s.sault position players, and was half lifted and pushed up onto the stage.

Blood Pigeon was forced to perform, singing an old survival show theme song from 20 years ago. Before stepping down, the old professional player’s eyes were fierce, and he directly pinpointed the program producer hidden in the crowd.

Blood Pigeon: “Program producer, sing.”

The program producer raised his hand up in refusal and wasn’t scared at all, “Alright then, you guys continue playing, I have something else to do––” His voice hadn’t even finished when a dozen tall and broad trainees stood up at the same time around the grill. The program producer: “Ah, sit and eat, what are you all standing up for… ah!”

The grill grid was changed, and the smell of wheat beer permeated across the lawn.

First, it was Caesar and Red running wild all over the place, but after three rounds of drinking and nagging, Qin Jinbao once again started his one-sided discussion about the Qin and Han Dynasties. Ming Yao was already drunk and distracted, and it was unknown where Wu Jin had found a stick with a string, using a crab stick to play fis.h.i.+ng with Ming Yao––

There was something meowing fiercely on the roof.

Wu Jin looked up, only to see the black cat lying lazily on the roof. The little Pterosaur was stealing skewers from the grill with its slender beak, then fluttering up onto the roof. Then, the black cat would press down with its paws, the Pterosaur would tear, and the two of them would bow their heads and share their spoils.

“……” Wu Jin quickly called the little Pterosaur over for a scolding.

The black cat on the roof flipped over the roof and disappeared, leaving a mess of greasy bamboo skewers on the ridge. Wu Jin had no choice but to get paper towels and dishcloths from the logistics team and climb up onto the eaves.

He threw away the bamboo skewers and wiped the little Pterosaur’s greasy beak clean.

Wu Jin looked up.

The view on the roof was un.o.bstructed by trees, and the sky was bright and clear.

From the Milky Way downwards was Aquila, Sagittarius, Orion, Southern Cross, the stars scattered all across the sky, s.h.i.+ning brilliantly. Behind Orion was Floating City, deep in the Azure Cosmos.

There was the sound of footsteps on the roof.

Wei s.h.i.+ sat down beside Wu Jin.

Wu Jin was suddenly very happy.

Wei s.h.i.+ was thoughtful, “What.”

Wu Jin looked out beyond the Crosson Base.

A river of stars was above his head, dense like a waterfall, and at his feet were the lights from thousands of homes.

Wei s.h.i.+ was sitting next to him, the Wei s.h.i.+ who he’d been waiting for for many years in the R-Code Base, the Wei s.h.i.+ who was about to become his biggest rival in the league.

The past sank back into the depths of his memory. In the future, he would have a career that had only just begun, and he would leave countless footsteps across the numerous points in the Azure nebula.

What was within reach, was the beginning of this journey, the vast stars, a brilliant world that he hadn’t yet experienced in all his 19 years of life.

There was a lot of noise under the eaves of the roof.

This was probably just one of the most common nights out of the countless ones to come.

But it was because it was so ordinary and free of any extravagance, that each moment could flow into one another, back and forth, day after day.

How wonderful.

Wu Jin looked up.

The two of them exchanged shallow kisses beneath the stars.

(End of Text)

The author has something to say:

Hugging my little angels, muah!

The main text is over, but don’t be afraid, the extras will begin immediately!

The end of this story is the real beginning for Little Witch’s new life. ‘Liking something’ is a very personal thing; thank you for giving your precious love to Little Witch and Wei s.h.i.+.

This story has accompanied Baibai (xiin: the author) through highs and lows. When I feel sad, I also stroke the soft and fluffy Little Witch. Baibai isn’t a gifted player, and from the first book to the present, there have been many mistakes and I’m growing slowly. Thank you for giving Baibai and Little Witch a chance, and for being willing to read all the way to here. You are all the real angels in the world!

So, in the end, there is nothing else to report, only hope the next book is better!

Kisses.
