Chapter 40: Refusal
The moment the Expedition fell, everyone held their breath.
It wasn't until it hit the ground like the collapse of a mountain, and at that moment there was still a television in the stands, that all the spectators cheered, and the roaring waves soared into the sky.
Due to its sheer weight, when the expedition fell to the ground, it smashed a huge crater on the island of Lakfania, causing the entire island to shake like an earthquake. Despite this, it remained unusually intact, except that the entire outer deck was damaged by a massive impact, as if it had been bombarded by thousands of missiles. The starship's strong security system kept it from exploding, but the violent impact allowed all the crew to enjoy an unlimited bungee jump, and some of them crashed into the bulkhead during the fall, even with the cushioning of the protective film, but still inevitably suffered some damage.
Two unlucky guys even broke their necks on the spot.
Accidents can't just happen to the contestants, right?
Leagues with the death of organized members are undoubtedly more appealing.
The two hosts were also stupid.
Lilith looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't believe her eyes: "Knocked down, he really beat it." ”
"Incredible, it's a miracle!" The male host next to him also murmured.
Then he looked at Lilith, "I think you seem to have said that if he could make it past the preliminary round, would you give him a glamorous night?" ”
The words reached the ears of everyone in the audience through the microphone, and everyone was in an uproar again.
Lilith looked at Renault and smiled, "Of course, I remember. ”
So the cry was louder.
As a result of the Expedition's crash, everyone left automatically passed the preliminary round, which also became the most successful preliminary round in the history of the Storm League - almost half of them passed the preliminary round.
Everyone cheered, but the Stormwinds were furious - they were going to pay a hefty prize for it, not counting the damage caused by the crash of the Expedition. Although this event will greatly increase the ratings of the league, it will not be worth the loss at such a high price.
After the race, Renault stood on the podium without surprise.
He became the MVP of the game, and according to the rules, he will receive 300,000 in prize money.
Lilith jumped up to Renault and handed him a trophy representing the MVP of the game, along with the 300,000 reward check in her hand.
Reynaud waited for her to hand her the check, but after handing over the trophy, she grabbed his hand and held it high.
So the shouting became louder.
The woman exclaimed: "Tonight, we witnessed the birth of a hero. That's ...... Shade! ”
"Shadows!"
"Shadows!"
"Shadows!"
Everyone shouted together.
There has never been a moment when Renault has become the center of attention of tens of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people, as it is now.
Standing in the center of the high platform, listening to the surging voice, Renault's mood was extremely calm.
Lilith seemed to enjoy the crowd and held Renault's hand for a while, until the applause waned, and she said with a sweet smile on her face, "Well, I must admit that I misread our rookie before...... Don't look at me like that, I know what you're trying to say. ”
Boos erupted, and the audience burst into lewd laughter.
Lilith had already looked at Renault.
She smiled and said, "You're a true hero, and I'm yours tonight if you want." ”
She opened her arms as she spoke.
As soon as Renault stretched out his hand, he could take Lilith into his arms.
The boos were louder.
"Hug her!"
"her!"
"her!"
Everyone is screaming and shouting, and after the exciting and fierce mecha battle, being able to see such a glamorous scene as a hero and beauty is undoubtedly everyone's favorite.
Of course, there is no lack of envy and jealousy, looking at Lilith's sassy/charming face, Matthew in front of the TV only felt a hot breath rising from his lower body, his hands twitched desperately under his crotch, and he howled out in the sky.
The atmosphere was blazing, but Renault's heart was still calm.
He looked at the beautiful woman who was waiting for him to take her into his arms with her arms outstretched, and stretched out his hand.
Remove the check from Lilith's hand.
Ga!
The atmosphere of the scene came to an abrupt halt as if someone had pressed the brakes, and Renault had turned and walked off the stage.
"Please excuse me." He said.
Pulling away Lilith, as if opening a curtain, he walked off the stage.
Lilith was stunned.
Everyone stared blankly.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a violent roar erupted in the field again.
This roar was louder than ever, mixed with incredible roars, laughter, anger and madness, surprise and laughter, all at the same time, each other, causing a boiling wave throughout the island of death.
At that moment, the entire starry sky was set ablaze by Renault's actions.
"He rejected her!"
"God, Lilith was rejected."
"I've never seen such a cool rejection!"
"Can you believe it? He said to Lilith please give way, haha, he said please let go! ”
"This damn bastard, he insulted the woman I love the most!"
In all corners of the universe, all kinds of voices are staged one after another, some praise, some angry, some laughing, some hate.
"This bastard, he made Lilith a laughing stock!" After the broadcast/on stage, a behind-the-scenes person said angrily.
"That depends on how you interpret it. In my case, rejecting Lilith is obviously much more effective than accepting. This event will become a territory-wide topic of conversation and will continue to be hot for at least three days. One of the marketing planners replied, "You know, it's not easy to get such a topic off the ground in these days." ”
"But either way, Lilith won't like it."
"It's just a host, in the mecha league, only the mecha is the eternal protagonist, the host is not." Someone said so.
Stepping off the podium, a girl with fiery red hair walked up.
Renault recognized her as the pilot of the red mech. Her marksmanship is amazingly accurate, and her adaptability is also very fast, if she doesn't have her own sudden appearance, then the MVP of this competition may be her.
She walked straight to Renault, tall figure, beautiful curves, even Renault's eyes couldn't help but be attracted.
"Hello, my name is Antonia."
"Hello." Renault replied.
"That last blow was good, and I'm looking forward to your performance in the next fight." Antonia said with a smile. She gave Renault a confident but unyielding smile before turning away.
"Come and write a war letter." Looking at her back, Renault muttered to himself.
But she was obviously not the only one who came to write the war letter.
Another person walked over, just like himself, a man with a black scarf covering his face.
Renault remembers that he was the pilot of the insidious black mech - that he was the right choice to cover his face, and with his insidious tactics and brutal methods, if he was exposed, he might not live to see the sun tomorrow.
Compared with the red-haired woman, the eyes of the man in black were even colder, like a snake staring at him, and he was creepy to look at.
Renault had no crush on him.
Sure enough, the man in black had already said:
"You're just lucky. In the next game, I'll poke you in the heart. Remember my name, Yamada Musashi! ”
There was a strong rebelliousness and conceit in his tone, and the look in Renault's eyes was even more disdainful and contemptuous.
Faced with this straightforward and arrogant provocation, Renault thought for a while and replied:
"I don't think I will remember it, there are a lot of people who want to beat me, and I don't have the energy to remember them all."
Yamada Musashi was obviously stunned by Renault's answer, and he was stunned before he said, "Bastard, how can you put me on a par with everyone else, I'm not like them!" ”
"It's no different." Renault shook his head and said:
"Only losers need to be challenged."
