Chapter 86: The UR Card Incident

The livestream chat flooded with messages.

– “Tian Lanxing is amazing!”

– “Salute to the legend! Eternal light!”

– “This battle-damaged look is too cool! I’m going to spend tons!”

– “Wuwuwu, I just feel sorry for Lady Tian Lanxing.”

Hua Mu’ai, sitting nearby, twitched her mouth.

What unbowed posture, what sacrificing everything to protect humanity. All bullshit! That was clearly the time I was cleaning the battlefield and got careless, letting a Void Beast’s fireball singe my skirt. I tripped over my own feet dodging and fell flat on my face. I don’t know which damn war photographer took that picture. And that bastard Wang Kaiming! He actually sold that dark history to a toy company to print as SSR cards to make money! Later, I’m definitely going to flip his desk!

But after a burst of impotent rage, Hua Mu’ai felt a bit touched.

Intel Ji just said Twin Star Island, not Golden Island, the name the Stellar Faction later changed to smear Su Wanning. Looks like most people in the world didn’t believe the official story back then. They still choose to trust Su Wanning. You do have some conscience.

“It’s this gangster’s… I mean, this bestie’s turn to pull.”

Intel Ji turned the camera to Hua Mu’ai, eyes full of anticipation.

Hua Mu’ai retracted her thoughts, snorted, and grabbed a pack of cards, tearing it open.

First card, plain N card.

Second, plain N card.

After five in a row, all common cards with no shine.

A wave of mockery rolled through the chat.

– “Certified unlucky.”

– “Sister Gun’s luck is amazing, perfectly avoiding all good cards.”

…

Hua Mu’ai frowned. That competitive streak flared.

I don’t believe this! I am Tian Lanxing herself, and I can’t even pull my own cards? She grabbed a third pack and tore it open roughly.

The first four were still junk.

Hua Mu’ai gritted her teeth, pinched the edge of the last card, and flipped it over.

The moment it flipped, a rainbow light burst from the card, almost blinding.

“Holy shit!!!”

Intel Ji jumped straight out of her chair, nearly knocking over the table.

“The one-in-a-million collector’s edition! You actually pulled it! Oh my god! I never even dared to dream this card existed!”

Hua Mu’ai froze, looked down at the card in her hand.

The card design was exquisite, with a dynamic 3D effect and even a tiny solar-powered sound device.

On the card, Tian Lanxing struck an extremely embarrassing, forced magical girl pose. One eye winked playfully.

Then, a tiny speaker on the card played a sweet recording.

“For love and justice, I grant you Star Light Punishment! Mwah~”

The air suddenly went quiet.

The chat exploded.

– “Ahhh! That line is classic!”

– “Old fans crying! Same recipe, same taste!”

– “Cute Tian Lanxing is the best! That ‘mwah’ kills me!”

– “I’d go broke to pull this card!”

…

Meanwhile, Hua Mu’ai was completely petrified.

She was curling her toes, her soul seeming to have left her body.

Help!!!

Why does something like this exist? That was the promotional line her demon manager forced her to record when she debuted! After recording, she felt so disgusted she couldn’t eat for three days. And now it’s been made into a voiced UR card! And played in front of hundreds of thousands of people!

If she could, Hua Mu’ai would now like to immediately perform a lunar liberation and blow up this card, along with everyone who saw it, to ashes.

Let it all end. She was really tired.

Intel Ji completely missed the murderous aura from Sister Gun, and excitedly grabbed her arm, shaking it wildly.

“Sister, you’re incredible! Do you know how much this card is estimated to go for on the second-hand market? At least two hundred thousand! And it’s priceless! What insane luck!”

Hua Mu’ai barely suppressed the urge to tear the card into pieces and stuff it into Intel Ji’s mouth, forcing out a few words through clenched teeth.

“Oh really? Then I really wish I could use this damn luck for something else.”

Like being able to maintain her one-meter-eighty tough guy image forever.

The fans were still cheering in the livestream, but Chu Yuyao kept staring at that UR card.

She looked at the sparkling figure on the card, her eyes growing incredibly gentle.

“How wonderful…” Chu Yuyao murmured. “Lady Tian Lanxing is always so full of strength. Even facing the scariest monsters, she never backs down.”

She turned to Hua Mu’ai, who was stiff with embarrassment.

“Mu’ai, you know? I used to think I was someone nobody cared about. But Lady Tian Lanxing told me my voice is a treasure.”

Chu Yuyao’s face lit up.

“I will definitely work hard to get on stage. No matter what others say, no matter how hard it is, I want to use my singing to tell her that I haven’t let her expectations down.”

Hua Mu’ai looked at Chu Yuyao’s earnest face, and the softest part of her heart was touched.

This dummy. Who asked you to prove anything? As long as you can walk with your head held high from now on, and not let those scumbags bully you again, I’ll be grateful.

Hua Mu’ai used her small, fair hand to vigorously rub Chu Yuyao’s head.

“Since you’ve decided, go win a championship for Tian Lanxing, got it?”

Chu Yuyao nodded firmly. “Mm! I’ll work hard!”

The fans in the livestream didn’t know exactly what relationship these two had, but seeing Chu Yuyao’s healing smile, the chat’s tone changed.

The screen filled with supportive messages.

– “Go Chu sister!”

– “We’re always with you!”

A livestream that was originally just for opening cards gradually came to a close in a strange atmosphere of joy, embarrassment, and emotion.

The moment the stream turned off, Hua Mu’ai ripped off her headset.

Finally over.

Now she just wanted to get back to the apartment, take a hot shower, lie flat on her big bed, and forget all the embarrassing things that happened today.

But thinking of those two women in the apartment…

Hua Mu’ai’s mood turned heavy again.

Sigh, I’m too pitiful!

…

Early weekend morning, the apartment was unusually quiet.

Hua Mu’ai had gone to the base early to play games with Chu Yuyao, and Xia Xingyan followed.

So of the three little ones, only Gu Qianqian was left, lying on the sofa like a salted fish, sighing.

Xingyan jie hasn’t been talking to me lately. To find common ground with the team leader, she’s turned herself into an internet addict, obsessively grinding game combos on Battle of the Oracles every day. It’s crazy.

As for Lin Xiaolu, she had taken big bags and small bags and taken a bus back to her hometown yesterday afternoon to visit her parents.

Now the large apartment only had Gu Qianqian and Shen Tinglan.
