Chapter 176: A Different Desire
When Maria woke up, she had just pulled down her towel and stretched out her arms comfortably. A shout from the side almost scared her soul:
"Old Ma, Old Ma!"
Sonia shouted from the side:
"I thought you'd set an excellent example, I thought you'd share your thoughts with your sisters after the race, but I didn't expect you to sleep here!"
Maria, who had just woken up, had one distinctive feature.
It's 'soft'.
She said in an almost soft and coquettish tone:
"Tired!"
She rubbed her eyes:
"That track is really not run by people, and seriously, if I hadn't succeeded the first time, I would never have run it a second time."
She whined and complained about that:
"Which bastard came up with the start downhill?"
"And that bend is an obstacle for us good-built banshees, I almost can't turn a corner!"
"There are also viewing tracks on both sides, which is really TM and makes people nervous."
"It's all Suosuo's fault, she also pulled a clockwork cat cheerleader over when I ran, it's really scary!"
When Maria was away, she always treated people with the appearance of a humorous golden retriever big sister.
Now it's still very interesting to watch her complain and complain like a complaining woman.
Melina raised her chin reservedly:
"But you still won, didn't you? Winning is the most important result, and since you have already achieved a good result, then the process can only be part of the story, right? β
"Amei, it's too easy for you to get everything, so you don't have much pursuit of the process." Maria said euphemistically.
Sonia, on the other hand, will never give up the opportunity to hit Maria:
"What Lao Ma means is that you are already habitually successful, and occasional failure will make you more than you can fight, so you forget that life is made up of all kinds of failures. The most common phrase that frustrated people like Lao Ma use to comfort themselves is 'the process is beautiful enough, we don't have to be demanding about the result', ha, but the most important thing in the world is the result. β
"What the hell are you implying here?" Maria reacted quickly, then sighed again, puffing out her face, "But that's right. β
The two did not speak.
Then, Sonia suddenly asked:
"By the way, how does it feel to run the race and run for first place?"
Maria was silent and snorted:
"It's better than I imagined, the feeling of being the first name."
"That's right." Sonia pondered, "Is that how it feels to be successful?" β
Her expression was tinged with regret.
Winning is not a difficult thing, Melina thinks so from the bottom of her heart.
Win the competition, earn fame, earn respect. Melina was suddenly shocked to find that even in her previous life, she was still a winner, not to mention being rich and expensive, with hundreds of cash, cars and houses. In this life, he is the winner of the winners, except for the fact that you can't be an explorer.
She hadn't lost in a long time.
Winning too much is numb, but detached from reality, and I don't have a deep feeling for friends like Maria and Sonia.
"Success on the field is only short-lived, but success in life is lasting."
Melina comforted the other party with a slight crappiness, but she didn't want her to see it:
"Sister Sonia, aren't you also the first in Hamlet's exploits? As far as I know, Georgia praises you every day for your skill, and Miss G says every day that it would be nice if you were the great lord of the Weeping Peninsula. β
This is true.
As a careerist, G has been looking forward to Sonia's yellow robe so that he can give them some rewards for their loyal banshees.
You see, we have given you so much support, and when you succeed, it is not too much to be paid for dividing the territory, right?
"Hahaha." Sonia laughed twice without a smile, and then pursed her lips, "The championship of the competition is not important, the championship of life is important, right?" β
Maria's Stall:
"Otherwise, Suoso, don't you think..."
Sonia interrupted her:
"I just feel like the winner's life is very good, you look at the flowers, you look at the falling streamers, and the balloons that are released, and the cheers like the mountains and tsunamis, that's the winner. Instead, did some logistics or something... Sister, you see, after I came back from rebirth, I managed to solve several major crises, didn't I? β
"You're indebted." Melina thought to herself, 'You and I scored 81 points together', but considering that without Sonia, she was afraid that she was still considering whether to 're-take the 'path of Miss G' in the royal capital, so she pinched her nose and said, 'Credit'.
"I also helped fight the sea dragon, and I invited a lot of people."
Maria nodded:
"A long day of training, and the money is very generous, hiring people regardless of the cost, within the scope of the allowable to hire a good helper. This is a meritorious thing, and everyone has to say that you can do things and be a person in the back. β
That's right.
There are so many trophies of the mutant sea erosion dragon, which is enough to make several squads turn against each other.
Although it is relatively naΓ―ve to turn against each other in this world, the same level as 'you are not allowed to write to me this year', but turning against each other is turning against each other, and there is often that kind of 'talking about former teammates'.
Sonia was happy to be recognized by her sisters, but she had other needs, and her smile slowly faded, a little frustrated:
"But these are few, uh, you know, not much accomplishments." She was a little melancholy, "Applause and flowers will never be left for me, you know?" Although I am rich now, I am a Cinderella in the banshee world. A pure Cinderella..."
"Excuse me, sister." Maria tried to amuse her, "Cinderella is barefoot and wears crystal heels, she's absolutely strong. β
"you, old ma."
Sonia was indeed amused, but she didn't hit the south wall today, didn't look back, didn't cry when she didn't see the coffin, and the whole person had entered a state of demonic shock, which was equivalent to 'I've worked hard for so many years, what's wrong with enjoying it?' '. She began to be unhappy with a few things personally:
ββ¦ After the hunt, Xiaomei became the honorific 'playwright', Lao Ma also became the name of 'potential new star', and Belen was the invincible first beautiful girl idol banshee XXX and something like that, as well as some of her students. β
"It's Victoria and Jennifer." Melina also interrupted to avoid Sonia's real emo, "And remind you that these two sisters have a guaranteed level of 15 and a guaranteed level of 14, compared to them, your potential is indeed relatively empty." When you were in class, it was said that you ......"
"Xiaomei!"
Sonia is a bit of a break, but it's a necessary break.
If you don't wake her up, 'You have a big gap', then maybe Sonia will be resentful, and in the process of resentment, this will not get any good results, because people often do not humble themselves when looking for other people's weaknesses, and if they are not humble, they are easy to complain unilaterally, and unilateral complaints are easy to form without self-knowledge.
Sonia has always been a bit of a humble but arrogant person, and now if she loses this part of her self-humility, there is no way, Xiaomei has to find a way to help her make up for it.
Melina said partially:
"But even so, they shouldn't ignore you who have made such a big contribution, I think, this should be an unjust practice in banshee society."
After being woken up by Melina, Sonia did not continue with the words, but exhaled and said a little unpleasantly:
"Alas, you are not wrong. I don't want to admit some of my thoughts, which instead form the current awkward situation... Xiaomei, I'll tell you straightforwardly..."
Sonia paused, a little shy, and a little uneasy and said:
"I'm hoping for some special rewards, some... Uh, applause. β
It seems that Maria's victory has succeeded in giving Sonia a subtle sense of envy.
At the same time, Melina's persistent reputation and outstanding reputation also stimulated Sonia.
Melina could certainly have cut Sonia off with the 'you're just a logistician' statement.
But life is not a game.
For example, playing a basketball game on the computer, you can make a blue-collar center shoot no more than 1 time in 40 minutes, but in reality this does not work, occasionally blue-collar people will not scold the coach if they lose a shot, and people have been helping the team wipe their butts for many years, so what's wrong with letting them get high occasionally?
Now, Sonia is this blue-collar worker.
From Melina's point of view, Sonia's usefulness in battle can only be said to be very limited.
At the same time, her value is not in the arena, on the battlefield, it can be said that Sonia is not a person suitable for showmanship.
But this cannot be said.
Melina only hesitated for half a second, and then immediately said:
"There's no problem with wanting applause, there's no banshee who doesn't like applause, right, old Ma?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Not to mention fame, what banshee have you ever seen who doesn't like fame...... Right, old ma? β
"Yes, yes."
Lao Ma has become a fully automatic 'yes yes robot'. But the words are not rough, banshees love eyes by nature, love to attract attention, Sonia's wish cannot be said to be excessive, it can only be said that normal banshees would want this kind of treatment.
"Really? Are you willing to support me? Sonia's face was suspicious.
Melina swears to God:
"We do want to support you, sister, don't you just want applause? It's your turn to take care of you with this kind of overly demanding request, right, Lao Ma? β
Maria rolled her eyes:
"Yes, yes!"
Sonia is still skeptical, or rather, there is indeed a little girl with low self-esteem hidden beneath her perverted self-esteem. She doesn't feel like a banshee, in terms of self-confidence.
Seeing her like this, Melina packed the ticket:
"As long as you follow the arrangement of the sisters, flowers and applause will be captured......"
Melina's eyes rolled, and a bad idea came to her mind:
"Wouldn't it be nice if we asked Professor Belen for help, isn't she an idol? You must be experienced in this area, right? β
"Aren't you on bad terms with her?"
Melina is righteous and strict, and her whole person exudes the light of legendary friendship:
"For the sake of Sonia-senpai, it's okay to go to the soup and go to the fire!"
