Chapter 2399 - 1129: Distinguished Guest
As the most significant closing battle of the Comprehensive Knight Tournament, the Diser Delegation, the champion of the advanced sector’s "Team Battle", received a handsome prize money and exposure. Although the latter holds no attraction for these young people who wouldn’t worry about employment, no one would dislike having four-figure gold coins per person, so naturally, everyone is happy to fulfill the obligations of being a champion, cooperating perfectly with the organizers for the award ceremony, post-match surprises, audience interaction, and other segments, making a strong impression.
Undeniably, as the younger generation of the family, these young people with relatively little experience do not reject such occasions; quite the opposite, even though they are cold war machines on the battlefield, after returning to ’daily life’, the young members of the Diesel family are actually no different from other young people.
They are not aloof; they thoroughly enjoy being in the spotlight. They feel excited by the passionate gazes directed at them and feel their blood boiling from a hearty victory.
The Caselo Prairie is not some barbaric land, so these young people from the Diesel family are not country bumpkins who haven’t seen the world.
But just as Marla tried to convince Motan earlier, Academy City does have many inherent advantages.
For example, there are many young and beautiful girls.
Of course, it’s not that there are fewer pretty girls in the Caselo Prairie, but at least for these young men in the delegation, most of the girls they know are either strong fighters or very strong fighters. Not to mention, just look at the only two women in the delegation—Liya Delin · Blood Maple · L · Diesel and Scarlett Disel, whose capabilities are ranked first and second among the younger generation in the delegation!
Is this reasonable?
[Whether it’s reasonable or not doesn’t matter anymore!]
As they glanced at the girls cheering them on in the stands, although they made up less than a third of the total crowd, each of them gave off a "soft girl" vibe. Under President Sancho’s leadership, the young men of Disel returned to the center of the competition field, embracing the flowers, applause, and cheers while their eyes welled up with tears.
"I always feel it’s a bit embarrassing..."
Standing at the front, with a formal smile on her face waving to the stands, Liya Delin twitched the corners of her mouth and squeezed out this sentence in an almost inaudible volume.
"It’s not just embarrassing, it’s kind of disgusting."
Scarlett, bouncing around energetically while waving her little hands to the audience, replied with a slightly troubled tone and then mischievously winked at Liya Delin: "But today is still quite happy, even though I’m about to fall apart from exhaustion."
"Seriously, I kind of want to go back now..."
"Huh? We rarely have a chance to be in the spotlight! Sister Liya, how can you say that after the seniors helped us out during the Knight Tournament?"
"But being stared at by so many people makes me nervous."
"Tsk, isn’t it because Silent Brother didn’t join us in being watched?"
"What are you talking about!"
...
Arena, Rest Area
"Why aren’t you going on stage with everyone?"
Ji Xiaoge, deftly dismantling the bandages on Motan’s body, cutting a crude knot with her sharp kitchen knife, asked curiously: "You are also a participant, and a crucial one at that. Kevin just went up there, why didn’t you?"
Motan smiled gently: "Because I’m heavily injured? Need to rest quietly?"
"Does anyone answer someone else’s question with an interrogative sentence..."
Ji Xiaoge pouted, re-bandaging Motan’s right arm, still enwrapped with ten layers of [Erosion Body Sword Intent]. Her technique was extremely skilled, giving full play to the intended function of a ’bandage’ without affecting the flexibility of Motan’s right arm, even tying a bow on it.
To be fair, apart from Yu Chen’s infinitely close to Excluded Level bandaging technique, the kind of wartime emergency treatment where you "almost don’t feel the bandage after closing your eyes," which is deeply awe-inspiring, Ji Xiaoge’s level of wound treatment and bandaging is almost at the ceiling. Though she still has ways to go in terms of absolute ’culinary skills’, she already shows great promise.
If it weren’t for Ji Xiaodao not being the type of carefree girl, Motan, upon first seeing Ji Xiaoge’s superb bandaging technique, almost imagined a scenario of a little Ji Xiaodao being unsteady daily, often skinning knees, and ultimately being carefully tended by her elder sister.
But that’s not the case; the reason she accomplishes it to this extent solely lies in Ji Xiaoge being adept and intelligent, without other reasons.
It’s not surprising; if you think about it, a person who isn’t smart and skilled couldn’t possibly be handpicked by Luwei, having their knowledge fully imparted in engineering.
Of course, the knowledge imparted here is limited to what Ji Xiaoge can comprehend. After all, as one owner of one of the peaks of Sky Pillar Mountain, although lacking the title of High-level Observer, Ruvi Fitzgerald remains a profoundly elusive character, and Ji Xiaoge’s current skill level is still far from prompting Master Lu to consider bringing out the treasures from his chest to teach.
