Chapter 578 - 597: Yes, We All Like Her (It’s Juju, Not Qiuqiu)
After hearing the name, several people instantly looked at the drill instructor.
His pronunciation was a little off.
"Did you just say Jiang Juju or Jiang Qiuqiu?"
"...Aren’t they pretty much the same? It must be Jiang Qiuqiu."
Fair enough. That deflated everyone’s curiosity.
Their curiosity may have been sated, but now the drill instructor’s was piqued. "What’s the matter? Is there a difference between Jiang Juju and Jiang Qiuqiu? You know Jiang Juju?"
"!"
"We do!" one of the guys with a buzz cut said earnestly. "There’s a huge difference. We know Jiang Juju!"
"You and Old Eight have no idea. You’ve been stuck in intensive training and haven’t been out for a whole year. You don’t know what a treasure we’ve discovered!"
"...And what’s that?"
"A food streamer. She—"
The veteran hadn’t even finished his sentence before the drill instructor couldn’t help but laugh.
"What’s so funny?"
"Nothing, I’m just surprised. You old-timers use your terminals to watch livestreams?"
"Hey now, kid, don’t interrupt. Let us finish. The point isn’t the livestream, it’s the streamer! Jiang Juju!"
"You have no idea how good her food is—" As he spoke, wistful looks appeared on all their faces, and the sound of noisy slurping filled the air.
"Is it really that good?"
"Unforgettable." ’This amazing first-year’s name is pretty similar to hers, too.’
’But they can’t be the same person. We saw in the news that Juju went to the Spirit Healing Department and became a Spirit Healing Master.’
"You all like her that much?" the instructor asked, seeing the smiles on the veterans’ faces.
"Yeah, we all love her. And it’s not just us. There are fans in other dorms in this building, too. We even have a group chat."
"...You guys got really trendy in the year we were away."
"You have to keep up, or you won’t be able to snag anything even if you’re waiting for it."
"Hey, looks like the little first-year has run into some trouble. Her opponent is pretty good, too. An upperclassman?"
"Let me check... Yep, an upperclassman. And judging by that Mecha, I’m pretty sure... he looks like one of ours. A military vet."
This was going to be a real fight, then.
This was the first time the group had witnessed a true ’Mecha battle’ on the stream.
Both pilots sent their Mechas charging forward, and the on-screen action finally evolved beyond a clumsy slap-fight into tactical maneuvers like breaking away, dodging with a tilt of the head, extending a leg, and clashing head-on.
Both pilots’ moves were pretty standard, and they moved at a considerable speed. But with simple collisions and clashes, it would be difficult to take one of them down.
The upperclassman obviously understood this. He wanted a quick end to the fight, to finish the match as soon as possible.
So, gritting his teeth, he drew his Mecha’s longsword. Seeing this, Jiang Qiuqiu immediately began to circle the arena.
Agility was her shield. A Mecha’s balance is unstable after drawing a heavy longsword, and to make matters worse, her opponent started chasing her, trying to keep up.
But endurance was Jiang Qiuqiu’s calling card. After about six or seven minutes, her opponent simply couldn’t keep up anymore. In a last-ditch effort, he raised the longsword high and hurled it like a javelin at Jiang Qiuqiu.
There was no way Jiang Qiuqiu could have missed it. The sword was fast, closing the distance in an instant.
Her body reacted faster than her mind. She dodged to the side, and the longsword grazed past her face, embedding itself deep in the ground. That single blow had drained all of her opponent’s remaining strength. Seeing the attack miss, the veteran collapsed, completely exhausted.
The Mecha mirrors its pilot. When the pilot fell, the giant, silver Gundam crashed to the ground.
Even in the virtual world, Jiang Qiuqiu felt exhausted.
Fortunately, defeating this opponent put her in the top 15, securing her a ticket to the final tournament.
That was enough.
