The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead

At noon the next day, Luan Qing Xiao sat inside the mecha and connected to the virtual world.

    In the virtual world, the physical fitness of the participants and the characteristics ​​of the mechas they operate are exactly the same as those in the real world.

    Luan Qing Xiao controlled Yin Xiao to walk to the white light distribution table to input her and the mecha's name.

    【Contestant 07, Luan Qing Xiao VS. Contestant 16, Zhou Cheng Yu. 】

  【After three minutes, you will be transferred to a random battlefield, will the two contestants please prepare themselves. 】

      Hearing the familiar voice, Luan Qing Xiao tentatively asked: "520, is that you?"

     After waiting for a while and not hearing an answer, Luan Qing Xiao thought she had recognized it wrong and felt a little confused.

    520 has followed her through nine worlds and is her good helper/partner. Since Luan Qing Xiao can no longer enter the virtual world of the Plot Correction Research Institute, she supposed there was no chance to encounter 520 again.

    【Host dada! It's me! It's me! I didn’t expect you to actually recognize me, 520 is so happy~】

    Just when Luan Qing Xiao gave up hope and waited for the system to transmit her, the 520 suddenly responded back.

    Luan Qing Xiao couldn't help but smile. 520 was still as cute as ever.

    "Why did it take you so slow to answer?" Luan Qing Xiao asked.

     520 channeled: 【I had to block everyone to chat with Host dada ya~】

    "520, how come you’re here?"

    【After Host dada completed all the worlds, I became unemployed. Unemployment means I’m unable to earn money to support my older brother, so my older brother changed my job. It’s great to be able to meet Host dada here~】

    "Who is your older brother?" Luan Qing Xiao has many questions to ask 520.

    【My brother's name is Qu Wei, I know he is Host dada’s friend. 】

    "Qu Wei?" Luan Qing Xiao didn’t expect that 520 was created by Qu Wei.

    "I didn't expect that, but 520, since you’re Qu Wei's younger brother and Qu Wei and I are friends, from now on, don't call me Host Dada. Just call me by my name."

    【Xiao Xiao! 】 520 happily called Luan Qing Xiao.

    520 was an artificial intelligence that can develop emotions developed by Qu Wei. Unlike other artificial intelligences, he can generate emotions, such as attachment or dislike, through communicating with people.

    Reuniting with 520 again made Luan Qing Xiao be in a great mood. Her originally slightly nervous heart relaxed and her whole body filled with a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

    【Xiao Xiao, the contest will start soon, good luck! 】

    "Thank you, 520." Luan Qing Xiao replied with a smile.

    【All participants, it’s the three seconds countdown; Three, two, one, entering a random battlefield. 】

    As soon as 520’s voice fell, Mecha Yin Xiao instantly disappeared in place.

    Luan Qing Xiao felt dizzy for a moment. When she opened her eyes, she found that she had come to the desert battlefield with a wide view.

    Yellow sand was scattered all over the ground and an emerald-green mecha was standing on the opposite side. Inside it was her opponent, Zhou Cheng Yu, a genius mecha in the same class as Luan Qing Xiao.

    The Mecha Mantis made by Zhou Cheng Yu is ingenious and flexible. Its arms can be turned into two sharp sickles. Combined with a particle cannon on its shoulders, it can attack at both a distance and close combat.

    When Zhou Cheng Yu graduated from the Empire’s First Military Academy with his Mantis as the top person in his grade, he was recruited into the Empire's largest mecha production company with an annual salary of 3 million yuan, attracting the envy of the whole class

    At that time, many people, especially those in Luan Qing Xiao's class, liked to compare Luan Qing Xiao, who was ranked last in the class, with Zhou Cheng Yu. They belittled one and praised the other and even specifically commented in the school group chat. Annoyed with it, Luan Qing Xiao simply withdrew from the group chat and deleted the entire class to prevent them from asking her why she left the chat.

    It is said that three years after graduation, Luan Qing Xiao has finally completed Yin Xiao, while Zhou Cheng Yu's Mantis was much more refined than his graduation work.

    Outside the field, Nie Zhen'er entered Luan Qing Xiao's name and went to a replica of the desert arena to watch the contest.

    In order to hype up the atmosphere, the outside field was sculpted into a sports field. Nie Zhen'er sat in the center of the stadium. Below the audience stand was the reduced mold of the desert arena and the two mechas that were about to battle. Opposite the audience stand was an incredibly large crystal screen where every move of Zhou Cheng Yu and Luan Qing Xiao would be enlarged and projected.

    Nie Zhen'er noticed that there were a lot of people on the audience stage. Most of them held emerald green banners with the words "Invincible Mantis" or "Cheng Yu’s Inevitable Win."

    Obviously, Luan Qing Xiao’s opponent had many fans.

    【The battle is about to start. Spectator betting is set for this game. Everyone, please bet on the contestant you support. If the betting player wins, the spectators will get a multiplier gain. 】

    【The contestant wins and losses ratio will be announced now. Contestant 07 Luan Qing Xiao vs. Contestant 16 Zhou Cheng Yu, 20:1.6. That is, if Luan Qing Xiao wins, the betting audience will earn twenty times the wager and if Zhou Cheng Yu wins, the betting audience will earn 1.6 times the wager. Now, the betting has begun. Please choose carefully. 】

    The person on the left of Nie Zhen'er saw that she had nothing in her hand and enthusiastically said: "You also came to see Zhou Cheng Yu, right? Do you want a mantis flag?"

    The person on the right: "We all bet for Zhou Cheng Yu to win. Though the magnification isn’t high, but we can definitely make money."

    Nie Zhen'er thought to herself who this Zhou Cheng Yu was. She hasn’t ever heard of him before, yet he actually had this many fans.

    Nie Zhen'er rejected the Mantis Banner, then picked up the betting machine and selected Luan Qing Xiao to press a series of six before clicking to confirm the bet. The credit points in her account were immediately crossed out for the corresponding amount of credit points.

    Nie Zhen'er showed the betting machine interface to the person on the right  with a smile, "I’m not betting on Zhou Cheng Yu."

    That person was stunned by the string of sixes. "Even if you have that money, you shouldn’t waste it like that. Don’t you know who Zhou Cheng Yu is? You actually think he can't beat Luan Qing Xiao?" If the money was bet on Zhou Cheng Yu, even with the 1.6 multiplier, it will still make a large amount. Why won’t the lass next to him use her brain!

    Nie Zhen'er retorted confidently, "Who said I was wasting money? It doesn't matter who Zhou Cheng Yu is. The important thing is that I know Luan Qing Xiao will definitely win."

    The person on the right shook his head and sighed. He stopped talking to the innocent and stubborn Nie Zhen'er.

    Just the thought that such a large sum of money being invested by Nie Zhen'er to an unknown mecha master made him feel heartache.

    Luan Qing Xiao was an unknown person, a nobody, how could she win against Zhou Cheng Yu?
