Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 582 - 601: Top 10 Seats

Jiang Qiuqiu won before the time limit was up. According to the competition rules, she could get out of her Mecha, rest for a while, drink a vial of Spirit Nourishing Liquid, and wait for the next match to begin.

This was her first time piloting a Mecha in actual combat against someone. Although it was exhausting, it wasn’t a bad feeling.

The blue Spirit Nourishing Liquid tasted awful, but after drinking it for days on end, she could more or less tolerate it. After she drank it, her Spirit Sea did indeed feel somewhat soothed.

Holding the glass vial, she went to the rest area and found that a handful of people were already sitting there before she arrived.

A handful of people.

They had arrived earlier than she had.

It wasn’t a matter of getting a lucky matchup; that meant they were truly strong.

Her gaze swept over the small group, and when she looked at the last person, she found he was looking at her too.

Jiang Qiuqiu: ?

Huo Jia was a little happy to see Jiang Qiuqiu. She hadn’t been eliminated yet, which meant they still had a chance to fight each other.

He wanted to fight Jiang Qiuqiu.

To show her—his true self.

People were losing every minute. As the final minutes of the first round ticked down, the pilots still on the platforms grew more and more frantic. If they didn’t win, they would both be eliminated, so they might as well risk it all.

But when everyone was thinking the same thing, that gamble became all the more difficult to win.

Jiang Qiuqiu stared at the screen in front of the rest area, watching the Mecha come and go. It was hard to say what was on her mind.

The spectator stands were buzzing with excitement.

"Holy crap, was that just Juju?"

"...She’s always so gentle when she talks to us."

"Was she pummeling that guy like she was tenderizing meat? I really thought our girl was going to lose..."

"What were you worried about? I told you! Seeing how she handles a cleaver, there was no way she’d lose this match."

"You can only faintly see a bit of her face, but she looks pretty much the same as in her videos."

"I wonder who her next opponent will be. With her skill level, making it into the top 10 should be no problem. I just hope she doesn’t get matched against someone crazy strong."

Everyone was gathered together, discussing all sorts of things and whispering in each other’s ears. They all seemed to get along exceptionally well.

They got along so well that even the chief instructor down below found it strange. "Don’t those veterans usually hate watching this stuff? Why are so many of them here together today?"

"I’m not sure. Maybe the weather’s nice and they just wanted to come out for a walk?"

"Whatever, never mind that. Ring the bell. The first round is over."

The first round was over. Any pair of opponents who hadn’t produced a winner was directly eliminated. According to the rules, there was a ten-minute rest period after the end of the first round, so everyone could wait a little longer.

The ten minutes passed quickly in silence, and the second round began.

In the second round, Jiang Qiuqiu was placed on platform 16, pitted against a new student from class A1.

Every match was a difficult one for Jiang Qiuqiu. After the first match, she had been the sixth person to reach the rest area. After the second, she arrived drenched in sweat to find seven people already sitting there.

’According to the elimination formula announced by the lead teacher, there were 50 groups in the first round. By the second round, so many contestants had been eliminated that only 20 groups remained. If there was one winner from each group...’

’Wait,’ Jiang Qiuqiu suddenly realized after doing the math in her head. ’Does this mean the people sitting here are already in the top ten?’

’So soon?’

No wonder when someone had asked the instructor if they could drink an extra vial or two of Nourishing Liquid because their spiritual power wouldn’t last the whole competition, the instructor had said it wouldn’t be necessary.

’It really wasn’t necessary.’

She let out a heavy breath, took the Spirit Nourishing Liquid from the instructor, and sat down in the rest area. She closed her eyes and began to recover her spiritual power. The person next to her merely glanced at her once before looking away, saying nothing.

This was the second round. Two battles in such a short period had left both the newcomers to the Mecha world and the veterans retired from the front lines utterly exhausted.
