Chapter 217 - 217 217 She Should Be Told the Reason
?Chapter 217: Chapter 217: She Should Be Told the Reason Chapter 217: Chapter 217: She Should Be Told the Reason Luo Ning went home to change clothes, and soon after, she took a taxi to the restaurant by herself.
Ji Jiayi and his friends often visited this restaurant, so naturally, it was of high class and very private.
She entered wearing a mask and was recognized by the lobby manager.
The man, surprised to see his idol, couldn’t help but reveal an excited smile on his usually serious face.
Still maintaining his professionalism, he courteously escorted Luo Ning to the door of a private room.
Luo Ning politely thanked him before knocking and entering the room.
Unable to resist, the manager took out his phone and posted on Weibo.
Content: “Saw Ningbao in person today, she’s really as beautiful and polite as a goose, so excited!”
“Goose” and “papa” weren’t intending to take advantage of Luo Ning, but simply adored her as their idol.
Just like female fans calling her “goose” and “mommy,” they dote on and love their idol like a child.
He was one of Luo Ning’s biggest fans, always active in Super Topics and chat groups.
Seeing this post, everyone eagerly started asking questions.
This “papa” fan then praised Luo Ning repeatedly, mentioning her politeness, lack of pretense, and approachability.
This excited the fans too—they knew their idol was high-quality.
Entering the private room, Luo Ning, unaware that the manager was one of her big fans, was now surrounded by Ji Jiayi’s four friends.
“Little Ningning, hello, I’m Yi Jun, nice to meet you.”
“I’m Yue Xiao…”
“I’m Shang Yu…”
“I’m Meng Bo…”
All four enthusiastically greeted Luo Ning.
Watching her remove her mask, they found her even more beautiful than on camera, and realized she was makeup-free.
They couldn’t help but praise her beauty again, her looks were indeed resilient.
Luo Ning sat down with a smile, “Thank you for your compliments!”
Being a girl, hearing others sincerely praise her looks naturally put her in a good mood.
When it came to ordering, she let Luo Ning choose.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Luo Ning didn’t play coy and ordered a few dishes that seemed tasty.
Her straightforward nature made them like her even more.
Yue Xiao, sitting next to Luo Ning, asked, “Little Ningning, I heard from Ji Er that you know about weapons and even how to play?”
Luo Ning instantly knew that he was the one asking Ji Jiayi to inquire about her.
She nodded, “Yes, why?”
Instead of answering, Yue Xiao invited, “I want to invite you to play real-life CS field combat tomorrow, do you have time?”
Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, “Why are you so concerned about whether I can handle weapons and even inviting me to play real-life CS?”
“If you can’t tell me why, then sorry, I can’t go.”
If he wanted to invite her, he should at least give a reason.
She didn’t need to flatter these young masters, so she had nothing to fear.
Yue Xiao, recognizing her assertive attitude, not only didn’t get mad but smiled and said, “Alright, let me tell you then.”
“I’m a weapons and high-tech enthusiast and I have a few like-minded friends, so we participated in an international live-action CS competition.”
“Although this competition is filled with competitive elements, because it will be broadcasted globally, it also has some elements of an entertainment show.”
“There are five people in a team, all from the same nationality, and we represent Huaxia.”
“We’ve already passed the preliminary round, and have qualified to go directly to the finals, where we will be officially announced internationally and broadcasted.”
“Unfortunately, the only female teammate in our team encountered some issues and had to withdraw voluntarily, and the organizers agreed that we could find another teammate.”
“I watched the replay of your survival show on ‘Deserted Island’ and I think you are the right person for this.”
“However, our competition requires players to be familiar with weapons because it will utilize a 6D full-reality simulation mode, and you will need to shoot when you encounter opponents or targets.”
“This is also why I asked Ji Er to inquire if you were familiar with weapons and why I wanted to invite you to play real-life CS field battles to see if you are the teammate I am looking for.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ning was reminded of something.
Yue Xiao mentioned that this international broadcast competition was very popular in his past life. She was filming a movie at the time, so she didn’t watch it live.
That’s why she didn’t recognize Yue Xiao.
She only heard a male actor from the crew mention that the Huaxia team was short of one person and lost the finals, missing the top three positions, which was quite regrettable.
Apart from being a competition, the live broadcast was also intended to showcase a mature new 6D technology to the entire world.
It was said that participants would be immersed in a panoramic virtual world, where, besides the original real venue, everything else was virtual.
In such an environment, people could be completely misled by the illusion, making it seem as real as the actual world.
Luo Ning felt that this technology somewhat resembled the virtual worlds of the interstellar era, though it hadn’t yet reached the point of connecting to neurons and directly immersing people into the virtual world.
It could only create a virtual situation world for people to experience.
This technology was showcased through a live broadcast competition, which shocked the entire world at that time.
Initially, Luo Ning was so troubled by scandal that she didn’t pay much attention.
Moreover, at that time, she was not a high-tech enthusiast, so when she heard the male actor mention Huaxia’s loss, she also felt regret and pity.
Now, she hadn’t anticipated that Yue Xiao would think of inviting her.
After experiencing the interstellar and two other advanced dimensional worlds, she became very interested in high-tech and new weapons, and could be considered an enthusiast.
And because of this, she was naturally interested.
Moreover, this competitive live broadcast was globally famous at the time, and could greatly help improve her visibility in the international entertainment circle.
Since she had the chance to live again, she naturally had ambition.
She didn’t just want to reach the top in the domestic entertainment circle, but also to become an international superstar.
She didn’t immediately answer him but instead asked, “Why did you think of choosing me? You shouldn’t be lacking similarly enthusiastic weapon and high-tech lovers, right?”
Yue Xiao helplessly said, “While I do have suitable like-minded friends, they are all male.”
“The organizers require that each team have at least one female participant, or else we would have to participate with fewer members.”
“Competing in such a live competition, especially competing as a national team unit, we naturally also want to aim for the top three and the championship, to bring honor to our country.”
“So, better none than mediocre. After all, choosing any female team member at random may end up being more of a hindrance.”
He shrugged and said, “If we take a teammate who ends up feeding the opponents, then we might as well compete with just the four of us.”
“I also valued your agility, high IQ, adaptability, rich outdoor survival experience, and breadth of knowledge.”
“That’s why I wanted to see if you’re suitable, which, for us, is also a bit of a risk.”
If they eventually chose Luo Ning and she turned out to be a poor teammate, they would be miserable along with her.
Of course, he felt that his judgment and luck shouldn’t be that bad.
