……

Even if he had already been mentally prepared, Zhao Nuo couldn't help but stop the moment he saw the scene inside the convention and exhibition center.

"Wow......" Jian Hitomi and Christine exclaimed at the same time.

――What appears in view is a huge hall that can be described as "gorgeous." It does not refer to the kind of empty grandeur, but the real "fulfillment".

The convention and exhibition center, which is large enough to hold large-scale exhibitions attended by multiple companies at the same time, is in the case of being monopolized by Hellfire Entertainment at this time, and the impact can be imagined.

Next to the largest booth in the middle, there were life-tall models of "The Legend of the Great Three Kingdoms" military commanders, which looked lifelike under the direct light overhead, apparently specially designed, like real characters standing on both sides to escort them.

The booth was covered with a large antique carpet with intricate dragon patterns. On the huge LCD screen in the rear, the promotional CG of the game is being played in a loop, and the combined stereo sound on both sides is heard from the background music of the game.

Although he had seen it many times, seeing this animation on a device of this level still made Zhao Nuo's blood boil and he was excited.

-- The game, which was a rough game three months ago, is now qualified for such a big sale. It's like an unreal dream, with a little bit of a hazy sense of unreality.

"Not bad." Zhou Yan commented calmly.

"Hmm." Zhao Nuo nodded.

When I looked up, I saw the text on the red banner above my head that read, "The Legend of the War of the Great Three Kingdoms is coming again." He looked around, only saw some staff members who were still arranging, and did not see any trace of the Black Hand and Xia Xiaoling. So I walked briskly to the booth and took a closer look at the scene above.

In front of the big screen, the seats of the organizers have been prepared, and the table is neatly placed with microphones and mineral water, as well as several name tags.

“……”

Seeing the name tags of "Stellar Wreckage" and "Xia Xiaoling" displayed in the middle of the long table, Zhao Nuo suddenly felt a little stiff again. At this time, the tension is even worse than racing on the road to 200 kilometers per hour.

"Brother, are you okay?" Jian Tong beside him seemed to have discovered something.

"It's okay, I'm a little motion sick."

Zhao Nuo casually made up a lame excuse that he didn't even believe in, and then walked off the stand, intending to check the games piled up in the back.

The open space behind the screen was also brightly reflected by the light of incandescent lights, and a large number of boxes of genuine games were neatly piled up into a mountain, like a large castle made of building blocks.

"You're here."

A certain man of short stature walked out from behind the "castle", his eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Nuo, and said:

"You're handsome, do you want to date me?"

"Go die, where is Xia Xiaoling, she won't be late, right?" Zhao Nuo asked.

"I'm here."

With a familiar confused voice, a certain girl walked out uncharacteristically slowly, but not because she was listless, but because she was ......

"Pretty." Zhao Nuo said with sincere admiration.

Usually it is said that the girl who dresses more casually than herself, but today she changed into a black dress with dark red lace, and her usually scattered hair is also taken care of, just like a gorgeous princess in the Gothic style.

"Huh? I just think it's very inconvenient, and if my brother hadn't asked me to wear this, I wouldn't have worn it like this. Xia Xiaoling complained.

- This girl is really a natural "hanger", I feel that she is suitable for whatever she wears, even if it is two completely incompatible colors, it seems less abrupt on her.

"Why are you two wearing black, are you talking about a couple's outfit?" The Black Hand quipped.

“…… Not at all. They both replied almost at the same time, and then they both laughed.

"I'm sorry to bother you to show affection, but now I'm going to hand out the speech."

As he spoke, the Black Hand took out two manuscripts from the backpack behind him and handed them to the two leaders of Hellfire Entertainment: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to say it, just read it according to the things on it when the time comes." ”

"Are you sure I won't say it?" Zhao Nuo asked.

Hearing this, the Black Hand Soldier patted him on the shoulder: "Dude, I know you are eloquent, but you haven't seen this kind of big battle before, right?" Just read along with the manuscript. ”

“……”

Although he was a little unconvinced, Zhao Nuo found that he was completely unable to refute it.

He was indeed a little nervous at this time, yes, when he thought that there were still two hours to stand on the much-anticipated "stage", as a game house that had lived alone for several years, it was really a little unbearable.

However, it is also a game house, and Xia Xiaoling next to her is still smirking heartlessly as usual, without the slightest nervousness.

"Aren't you nervous?" Zhao Nuo asked curiously.

"Why be nervous? We're all human, and we're not monsters! Xia Xiaoling said with a smile.

“……”

She sounded stupid, but it was like a hammer smashing into Zhao Nuo's heart, shattering the tension and cowardice that covered it.

- That's right, what's there to be nervous about?

Now I am not going through torture, nor is I meeting enemies, but I have to communicate with a group of people who like the game "Legends of the Great Three Kingdoms War". Since we're all friends, what's there to be nervous about?

"I'm so stupid......" Zhao Nuo muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" The black hand soldier next to him didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing ......"

A young man who would be attending the event as a "stellar wreck" slowly looked up, and the original nervousness and sluggishness were swept away, replaced by a familiar confident smile.

"No need." He handed the speech back to the Black Hand.

"Are you sure?" The Black Hand took the manuscript and asked again.

"I'm a 'stellar wreck', how can I still get stuck when I speak."

Zhao Nuo clenched his fists confidently, nodded to Xia Xiaoling, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

This girl has a strange magic, like some kind of "air freshener", as long as you stay by her side, you will unconsciously be infected by her happiness, and feel that the whole person is much more relaxed.

"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do!" Xia Xiaoling grabbed her skirt as she said and bowed politely, her posture was quite presentable, quite aristocratic posture.

"Well, I don't want a manuscript either!" The natural girl said seriously, wanting to return the paper in her hand to the Black Hand.

"Boss, you still need a manuscript, thank you." The Black Hand sighed helplessly. R1152
