The friendly matches that followed were quite exciting, and Xiang Nan had to admit that there was actually not much difference between puppet fighting and warrior fighting.
The only difference is that competitive players are not real warriors. All the combat knowledge they have learned is how to defeat the opponent's puppets.
But you must know that killing people is fundamentally different from destroying a puppet.
The opening ceremony of the first day came to an end in a vigorous atmosphere. It was already dark at this time, the puppet performance was over, and Su Ran appeared on stage again and sang for everyone.
The puppet's battle is passionate, while Su Ran's singing can soothe everyone's hearts. Those are two completely different emotions.
However, the audience's enthusiasm for Su Ran was not inferior to that of the competition.
Xiang Nan sat here and watched for a whole day, and had a full understanding of these so-called puppet competition models.
To kill, you have to see every change in the opponent's expression, guess the opponent's intentions, and even see every detail of the enemy's body.
And the cold puppets have no eyes at all, and their body structure is destined not to be as rich and changeable as the human body, so fighting is very simple and rough.
But just like the reason why the audience is so excited, it is because this kind of battle is too rough and simple, too red-faced, but it can arouse the primitive animal nature in the hearts of the audience!
Xiang Nan smiled, took the key and went back to his inn.
The host arranged Xiang Nan's residence, which happened to be the Crystal Palace.
This time, when the waiter saw Xiang Nan, he was very vigilant at first. After Xiang Nan reported the name "Xiang Bei" and showed the key, the waiter's face turned green.
"No... I didn't expect you to be such an important person." The waiter hurriedly rubbed his hands, his face flushed and said: "I offended you last time, I really deserve to die, please don't remember the villain."
Xiang Nandao: "If I'm not a big shot, do you want to throw me out again?"
The waiter hurriedly lowered his head in fright, not daring to refute.
Xiang Nan shook his head and strode in.
The Crystal Palace is next to the Amethyst Mountain and has its own hot springs.
Xiang Nan took a bath comfortably, and then went to eat in the hall on the sixth floor. While eating all kinds of expensive snacks that could not be named, while drinking wine worth thousands of dollars, he kept muttering in his heart.
How to find the old man Tianji? I don't even know what the old man that day Ji looks like.
"It's outrageous! I spent so much money to give you the best food, the most comfortable accommodation, and the best training, but is this what you give me in return!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the other side of the hall.
Xiang Nan turned his head to look, and saw that under the protection of a group of people, Su Ran walked over in a "dragon and tiger pace". While walking, he was still reprimanding Li Haoming who lost the game during the day.
Li Haoming lowered his head in shame, and said: "That Zhong Wufeng's puppet was obviously modified by a master of Xuan Dao himself, his speed and strength are not right!"
"How dare you talk back!" Su Ran said angrily, "Didn't you expect someone to hug you after you jumped up! What is your knife for? Is it just a display! I don't know how to force him away with a knife!"
"If you lose, you lose. How can there be so many reasons! If it is really on the battlefield, do you still have the qualifications to talk back to me! You even lost your life!"
"Yes." Li Haoming kept nodding.
Beside, the other nine contestants were also silent, but their expressions were obviously gloating.
But Su Ran's warrior guards don't care about these things at all, they are only responsible for protecting Su Ran's safety.
Su Ran sat down angrily, and when she raised her head, she happened to meet Xiang Nan's eyes.
"It's you?" Su Ran's eyes lit up, she stood up immediately, and strode towards Xiang Nan.
The two guards rushed to Xiang Nan one step ahead, one held Xiang Nan's shoulder, and the other reached out to touch the knife on Xiang Nan's back.
"My knife is not something you can touch." Xiang Nan said calmly while holding his wine glass.
"Any stranger is not allowed to wear a weapon to talk to Miss Su Ran. I have temporarily kept your knife." The guard grabbed the handle of the knife and was about to pull it out.
"What a big shelf." Xiang Nan smiled coldly: "One last reminder, you must not touch my knife, or you will bear the consequences."
"Stop!" Su Ran hurriedly scolded, and the two guards nodded before retreating.
That Su Ran pulled out the chair and sat down opposite Xiang Nan. She put her hands on the table and looked at Xiang Nan as a superior.
Xiang Nan doesn't like being looked at like this by others, as if he is a commodity being evaluated by others.
He just drank lightly, but didn't look at Su Ran once.
Su Ran frowned, and said: "Well, you've been following me for a while, why on earth?"
"Following you?" Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "You're too self-indulgent."
Su Ran laughed: "Don't think that you can disregard etiquette in front of me just because you rescued me that day."
"Speaking of etiquette." Xiang Nan raised his eyebrows: "I don't seem to allow you to sit across from me."
Then Su Ran chuckled, she adjusted her posture, leaned on the back of the chair and said, "I've inquired. You came to the Crystal Palace that day to apply for the recruitment, right? Do you want to be my bodyguard?"
"If that's your purpose, then maybe you need to rediscover yourself and figure out how to talk to me."
"Finish?" Xiang Nan put down his wine glass and said, "Please leave when you're done, I'm going to eat."
Xiang Nan himself doesn't know why, he obviously really wants something from her, but now he just finds her annoying!
Xiang Nan hated both her attitude towards people and her tone of voice. She felt that she and Su Ran who sang were completely different people.
"You want to annoy me first, arouse my interest, and then slowly treat me tenderly?" Su Ran laughed: "Those who pursue me can go from the steel continent to the endless sea."
"I've seen all kinds of methods. If you don't have anything new, you might as well get straight to the point."
Xiang Nan took a sip of wine, put down the glass, straightened his collar, stood up, turned around and left.
"You will come back to find me." Su Ran was holding the wine glass, admiring the slow shaking of the wine in the glass, watching the wine stain on the glass, and then slowly slipping down.
She is very confident.
But Xiang Nan ignored her.
Xiang Nan did ask for something from her, but he is not a person who puts down his dignity and posture for the sake of his purpose.
If a person is alive and doesn't even have this backbone, even if he puts all the gods and thunders in the world in front of Xiang Nan, then Xiang Nan will feel that he has lost, lost his life, and lost his dignity.
"What does that lotus leaf roast chicken taste like? Miss Ruyan can't forget it so much."
Xiang Nan came to Pine Tree Street again, and came to the alley behind it.
Today, it was still overcrowded. Xiang Nan waited in line for three hours and was still in the middle of the line.
He just wanted to taste that roast chicken, to experience the taste that Miss Ruyan had experienced before.
"If you continue to line up like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy anything until midnight."
A gust of fragrant wind came from behind.
Xiang Nan didn't look back.
"Come on, I'll take you to buy it." Su Ran patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder and strode towards the door.
"Is this a peace offer?" Xiang Nan asked.
"You can think whatever you want." Su Ran said without turning her head: "What I owe you, I should pay you back. This is the bottom line of my life."
