Volume 3 Chapter 74: A Stand User?
Let’s bet that Gao Ye will make a mistake.
“Eight bricks!”
As soon as she says this, even Gao Liang feels that she is taking a big risk.
Eight bricks is not a small number…
After setting up eight bricks for Lin Lin, she takes several deep breaths. She prepares for a long time before suddenly using all her strength.
“Ha—!”
With one strong chop, Lin Lin barely breaks the bricks in front of her.
Even though the material is soft and easy to break, stacking so many together is still not easy for a girl like Lin Lin.
“Phew~”
She takes a deep breath and smiles.
Eight bricks. She’s amazing!
Hehe. Now maybe Gao Ye will choose nine bricks. After all, if Lin Lin breaks eight in the final round and Gao Ye wins without reaching that number, she will probably feel embarrassed, right?
Thinking this, Lin Lin stretches her body and looks at Gao Ye.
Nine bricks, nine bricks, nine bricks…
“Seven bricks!”
“…”
That’s not fair!
Lin Lin looks at Gao Ye, who raises her hand and secretly laughs. Lin Lin turns her head away.
Tsk. Someone who can’t even break eight bricks. Even if she wins, Lin Lin won’t accept it!
Gao Liang sets up the bricks for Gao Ye and quietly watches her performance.
Gao Ye gathers her strength. She acts like she has some kind of inner power. Copying Lin Lin’s pose, she shouts loudly and then—
“Ha— AHHHHH! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much!”
She slaps down hard with her palm, but she doesn’t expect that the top brick, placed above the six others, is a real brick!
Gao Liang freezes. As soon as his sister hits it, her palm turns red and swollen. Gao Ye holds her hand, tears coming out from the pain, her teeth clenched tightly.
Gao Liang is shocked.
No wonder that brick felt heavier than the others when he picked it up.
He thought he was just imagining it. He didn’t expect there was a real brick mixed in!
“Gao Ye, are… are you okay?”
“You did that on purpose, didn’t you?!”
Gao Ye holds her hand and looks at Gao Liang and Lin Lin with teary eyes.
Lin Lin quickly shakes her head.
Hey, don’t look at me! I didn’t tell him to do that!
Gao Liang also quickly denies it.
“No! I didn’t know there was a real brick inside. Y-you have to listen to me!”
“Wuu… just wait. I’ll call people to attack you online. Wuu wuu…”
“Huh?”
Gao Liang scratches his head.
Attack him online?
“Hahaha…”
When Lin Lin hears this, she thinks Gao Ye is talking about her fans on that website. Afraid that she might say too much and expose something, Lin Lin quickly walks over and hugs Gao Ye, trying to calm things down.
“Haha, that’s right! Gao Ye can just send a message on WeChat and call Lin Yu over. Gao Liang, you’d better behave yourself!”
Then she whispers to Gao Ye, “Shh, don’t talk nonsense, dummy. Fine, fine, it’s Gao Liang’s fault, okay? I’ll teach him a lesson for you. I’ll help you teach him a lesson.”
After Lin Lin comforts her, Gao Ye finally calms down a little.
To keep her promise, Lin Lin walks over to Gao Liang and lightly punches him twice in the chest. It doesn’t really hurt. Gao Liang helplessly turns his head away and lets Lin Lin mix a bit of her own feelings into the playful hitting.
Uh…
Gao Ye wipes the tears from her eyes and looks at the two people in front of her. She feels…
These two must be doing it on purpose!
Not only that, they are even trying to mess with her feelings, right?
Showing off their love, huh?
Gao Ye really can’t take it anymore. After thinking for a while, she pouts and shouts,
“I’m going home to play! Ahem—no, I mean, I’m going to find people to attack you two online! I’m leaving! Hey… by the way, what are you two even doing here?”
“Lin Lin said she wanted to practice martial arts, so I’m teaching her a few moves,” Gao Liang replies.
“Mm…” Gao Ye nods.
Being able to describe a date in such a fresh and innocent way… these two are really something.
Fine. She won’t disturb them anymore.
After watching Gao Ye leave, Lin Lin lets out a long breath. Finally, the little devil is gone.
What’s left…
Of course, is to continue practicing martial arts with her rival!
That night, Lin Lin practices until very late before going home. She even shows a set of moves to her parents. Her mom actually looks impressed.
In the next few days, Lin Lin keeps practicing moves with her rival while also watching the system’s item refresh page closely. Every morning when she wakes up, she checks the page right away, just to see if there is any item that can greatly increase her fighting power.
Even a transformation item would be fine…
Turning into Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Pokemon—ah no… even turning into Magical Girl would be fine.
For several days, she waits and hopes. The date is getting closer. Her training results are getting better each day. But Lin Lin still can’t find a suitable item.
She becomes more and more anxious.
Until one day…
After waking up, Lin Lin suddenly sees a new item. Its name is:
【Stand Attack: After purchase, you can have a Stand for a limited time of 1 hour. The Stand is completely invisible. When the host attacks, the Stand, possessing an extremely large attack range and tremendous attack power, will also attack simultaneously, truly achieving “one man guarding the pass, ten thousand unable to break through.” Price: 10,000 popularity points.】
“……”
She buys it without hesitation!
Lin Lin quickly clicks exchange. But she doesn’t have enough popularity points. So she gets up again and does a short livestream. After finishing, she finally earns the remaining points.
Good thing she woke up early because she was too nervous~
The girl lets out a long breath. Now, after exchanging it, she can take action tonight!
She can’t wait any longer. She wants to finish the mission as soon as possible!
With new confidence, she even orders a VR device. She plans that after she successfully defeats the martial arts gym, she will immediately start a 3D livestream and finish the task as soon as possible.
Like this…
Lin Lin smiles confidently.
That day, she basically does nothing. Because she woke up too early, she keeps feeling sleepy.
At night, when it is time to continue training, Lin Lin suddenly grabs Gao Liang’s hand and says,
“I’m going to challenge the martial arts gym. I’ve decided. Today. Are you coming?”
“Huh?” Gao Liang is shocked. They had already agreed on a date for the challenge. It’s not even the weekend yet. Why is it suddenly earlier?
“That’s so sudden, Lin Lin. You’re not fully ready yet, right? Aren’t you nervous?”
“Better to face it now than worry for a long time. Ahem, Gao Liang, are you coming or not? If not, I’ll go by myself!”
“I’m coming, I’m coming!” Gao Liang quickly stops the impatient girl and nods helplessly. “Wait for me. I need to make a phone call.”
“OK. I can’t wait to go challenge them!”
