One day passed, and in the evening, EMP once again announced a major global news. The second participant of the Puppet Super Challenge has been confirmed. It is Tita, one of the Seven Beidou of NUP. The time is Saturday night at eight o'clock.
The power of the Moon people is still strong. The Centaur King was just a little short. The glory of the Moon people must be reclaimed by the Moon people themselves, and the flames of revenge for Shange have ignited everyone.
Tita has already watched all of Puppet's battle videos, including some combat videos in the virtual area. Even if they are just fragments, she is absorbing and digesting these movements and trajectories.
Now it depends on which one someone chooses.
Tita is also strengthening her personal training. The sparring with Tianjing Mech Martial Arts will have to be put aside for now. In recent solo battles, she has also revealed her favorite mech, the Athena Flash. Her training partner is also one of the Seven Beidou. This is adaptive training that only strong people can do, simulating the possible attacks that Puppet may encounter.
During the long interstellar journey, Su Yu was not idle. She still had to remotely control the company's operations. Although she released two singles and continued to promote others, the production of the MV was crucial. She was not very satisfied with the current proposals, as they failed to reflect the emotional impact she desired. It was close, but not quite there. Work was the main theme.
Ayouyou was also not idle. Sports, singing, and creating. After this Kepler trip, once the MV is done, she will prepare for her own tour around the solar system. Physical fitness, condition, and more need continuous training to reach the best state. Of course, she is absolutely confident. Arths debuted with looks, starting with singing and then dancing. It was actually a step-by-step growth, but more people were still lost in her looks. What really captivated them was Arths' concert, unique and unparalleled. This was also Ayouyou's talent, not deliberately trying to be anything, but a natural charm that radiated. It's just that the power is a bit too strong.
At this moment, Ayouyou had just finished a weightless dance, also known as the space whirl. She was still dressed as Ayouyou on the spaceship, and she had been in this outfit until the end of the Kepler trip. Arths' identity was too eye-catching and would make the journey too chaotic. She also liked this outfit in her daily life. Having reached such a height, being able to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable time was very precious.
After taking a shower and completing her meditation, Ayouyou wore a loose white camisole pajamas that couldn't quite cover her long, slender, and snow-white legs. After meditating for a while, she was still thinking about what he was doing.
Ayouyou rolled from one side to the other, and then rolled back again. She was so annoyed.
Why doesn't he post on Moments?
Ayouyou opened Sky Message, which was her own account. Her family and friends were all on it. Arths' Sky Message account was a business account in her aunt's hands. Every day of the trip, Ayouyou recorded the details of her life.
Every time she opened it, she felt a bit disappointed and angry. This person really doesn't post on Moments, but why doesn't he like her posts? Each post was carefully edited for... him to see.
She was so angry.
Ayouyou felt like biting someone. Her little toes curled up in anger, and then she rolled around with a big teddy bear. "A Xiong, what do you think he's doing..."
Li Hao was training with everyone. As usual, he focused only on gravity body training. "Where's Ma Long?"
"He's at the EMP building."
"Ah, why isn't he here to spar?"
"Haha, he's afraid we'll stimulate him. He wants to focus." Huo Ying laughed.
"Huo Ying, you're just as dangerous."
The reason Ma Long wasn't training in the team training room was because he kept losing. What's going on? His segmented combat power suddenly increased too much.
The situation in the major teams was similar. Some experts were usually proficient in the mech pool and battles, and they didn't care much about ranking up. The sudden request from the official caught everyone off guard, and they became tense all at once.
Ma Long had the ability, but he also had many problems. When he was in a good state, nothing was a problem. When his state was bad, he had too many flaws, one mistake after another, and his mentality exploded when the opponent seized them. That's why he came to the EMP building alone. As a result, he didn't make it to the top and lost over a hundred points. How could he not feel the pressure? But the more pressure he felt, the worse his luck became. Another three consecutive losses, and Ma Long couldn't help but shout a few times.
This was already commonplace in the EMP building, and the soundproofing was also very good.
Ma Long stopped and chugged a large bottle of energy drink, panting heavily. His mind was in a mess, thinking about going out to play, wanting to train, and wanting to be in the spotlight. He missed his carefree days. Ah, what was he trying to achieve?
Sky Message rang, and it was from Sheng Man.
"Long Long, are you still training? Can you come out and accompany me?" Sheng Man's voice sounded a bit charming.
Ma Long smiled bitterly, "Man Man, I'm really not doing well recently. After the mid-season tournament, let's go on a space trip."
"It's not every day. You also need to relax occasionally. There happens to be a party at my place. Do you want me to be all alone?"
Listening to Sheng Man's sweet and soft voice, Ma Long glanced at the infuriating control device. It was really uncomfortable. What the hell was he doing, going along with the crowd when he had a good life?
"Man Man, give me another two hours. I'll finish today's quota... Beep beep beep beep..."Ma Long looked at the disconnected Sky Message and smiled bitterly. He could only coax her after training. In fact, he joined just to have some fun and show off, but after a while, he realized it wasn't that simple. There were several times when he wanted to give up, but somehow he ended up here again. Jin Dongxun's mockery was quite stimulating, but it was only a part of it. The principal's trust completely hit his heart's defense line. As a person, he couldn't back down. Either he couldn't win, but it definitely wasn't because of his laziness.
After going through all this, Ma Long actually became more open-minded and completely let go of his thoughts.
"I am destined to shine brightly. Heaven gave me such a handsome face for more people to appreciate!"
Ma Long kept encouraging himself, ready to fight, fight, fight. Damn it, let's kill!
Sheng Man was extremely disappointed. When she looked for a boyfriend, she wanted care and companionship. Otherwise, why bother looking?
She was angry. Everyone understood the reason, but Ma Long didn't have time for her recently. Every time she went to find him, he was either busy or just gave her a few perfunctory words. He used to put effort into creating romance and ambiance, but now he seemed like a completely different person.
"Miss Sheng Man, you're here." A middle-aged man in a suit with a smile walked over, accompanied by a handsome young man. "Let me introduce you. This is Baron Karen, the organizer of this event. Baron Karen comes from a hundred-year-old noble family on the Moon, and his ancestors were pioneers in lunar development. Baron Karen, thank you for your investment in our company."
The title of Baron was a reward given by the Moon to those who contributed to its opening. It was an honor and a title, but it didn't have any actual power. Now, it was also awarded to scientists or people who made contributions to society.
"Mr. Marshall is too kind. I was captivated by Miss Sheng Man at first sight. Her hosting style is very impressive, and this event is excellent." Baron Karen smiled and reached out his hand.
This "captivated at first sight" was different from the one in campus. It meant more admiration, but it also implied some ambiguity. Basically, it was difficult for a beauty to refuse "excellent" ambiguity.
Sheng Man's face lit up with a brilliant smile, and with her evening gown, she exuded youthful vitality. She lifted her skirt slightly and bowed, "Thank you for your praise."
Marshall, who was standing beside them, smiled wryly. "The celebration banquet is about to begin. I don't have any friends on Earth, so I don't know if I have the honor of inviting Miss Sheng Man to be my dance partner?"
Marshall quickly made eye contact, as this was an extremely rare opportunity. "Then we have our dance queen for today."

"I'm really sorry, my mentor just called me. There's a rehearsal at school, and I have to rush back. Our mentor has a bad temper, and I dare not defy him." Sheng Man pouted with a hint of regret.
That little expression really made Marshall's heart flutter. "Talk to your teacher. This is also an important social practice. Baron Karen is a rare international friend, and he has many activities on the Moon. You should have a good chat with him."
"I also think it's a great opportunity, but..." Sky Message suddenly rang urgently, and Sheng Man glanced apologetically. "They're urging me again. I don't want to delay my graduation. Baron Karen, I hope to have the opportunity to work with you."
Sheng Man didn't give the other party a chance to persuade her to stay. She walked away with the sound of her high heels, and Sky Message rang urgently again. Sheng Man turned back and apologized.
After leaving the event hall, Sheng Man finally breathed a sigh of relief. She opened Sky Message and turned off the more than ten scheduled alarms.
Suddenly, she thought of Ma Long and became even more annoyed. She didn't plan to talk to him for three days.
"Ziyuan, what are you doing? Come out and accompany me!"
"I'm still here with the team. What's wrong? I can tell you're not in a good mood."
"It's that damn team again. Never mind, you have to come. Li Hao doesn't pay you a salary, so why bother working so hard for him? I'll be waiting for you at our usual spot. Hmph, you must come!"
Tan Ziyuan helplessly agreed. Fortunately, there wasn't anything important today, and it was fine for her to skip training. "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
"Muah! My Ziyuan loves me the most. Men can't be relied on!"
Tan Ziyuan couldn't help but laugh or cry. As her best friend, she knew very well how deep Sheng Man's resentment had become during this period. But she also knew that Ma Long was really serious about training, and both sides understood each other's situation. However, life was always accompanied by various emotions. It was easy to talk about putting oneself in someone else's shoes, but difficult to do.
Tan Ziyuan and Sheng Man were eating barbecue and drinking beer. Sheng Man was still wearing her evening gown, which looked particularly strange in this place. However, she didn't care about other people's opinions. Life wasn't about living for others' eyes. Just like her and Ma Long's relationship, it might not be accepted by others, but did it matter?
Since Tan Ziyuan arrived, Sheng Man had been complaining for almost an hour, and there was probably not much left of Ma Long's reputation.
Tan Ziyuan just listened. Everyone had different personalities, and the way men looked at women was completely different from the way women looked at women. In the dormitory, Sheng Man and Lu Ying were more outgoing, while Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao were more introverted. However, there was still a difference between Sheng Man and Lu Ying's extroversion. Sheng Man seemed very casual, but it was just her attitude towards life. She was a typical Tianjing person, very clear about things and emotionally intelligent. From a certain perspective, Sheng Man and Ma Long were a perfect match, two oddballs coming together.
"Alright, enough complaining. Let's pack some food and go see Ma Long now." Tan Ziyuan smiled."What? Bring him food? In your dreams!" Sheng Man pouted, still stubborn.
"Ma Long must have been boasting in front of you. He's currently at the bottom of the team. The new rules for the mid-season competition just came out, requiring a minimum of 2000 points. He's the only one on the team who doesn't have enough. He made a military order to reach 2000 points in two days. This sudden order makes the current EMP 2000 points rank as difficult as hell to play, with all kinds of sniping and chaos." Tan Ziyuan waited for Sheng Man to vent before speaking.
"What? Are they crazy? Why didn't they announce the rules earlier? What's with the sudden attack!" Sheng Man suddenly stood up.
Tan Ziyuan laughed, "So, are you bringing him food?"
"Yes, our Long Long is not having it easy. I need to bring him some good food to replenish his energy. Boss, pack five dozen oysters sashimi, pick the big ones... Hey, why are you still sitting? Let's go."
Tan Ziyuan was dumbfounded... In the end, she still had to pay.
Inside the EMP building of Tianjing Mech, Ma Long suffered three consecutive losses. Today was just too weird, all his opponents were experts, making him extremely frustrated. On one hand, he was also worried about Sheng Man. He was not like Wu Zang and Li Hao, who seemed completely unaffected by women. He just couldn't do it.
The Sky Message rang again.
"Man Man, I..."
"Which training room are you in?"
"Ah, oh, 358. I'm really not playing, I'm trying to rank up..." Ma Long thought Sheng Man was checking on him as usual... and then she hung up.
Damn, he was really useless. Even Huo Ying and Zuo Xiaotang had started to feel the expansion of their mental power, but why couldn't he feel anything at all?
Bang, bang, bang...
Ma Long frowned but still got up to open the door. He saw Sheng Man at the door, holding a takeout box, and Tan Ziyuan behind her.
Seeing Ma Long's exhausted look, Sheng Man felt heartbroken. She suddenly turned to look at Tan Ziyuan, "Hey, why are you still here?"
