So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

The final night, in the live broadcast room.

The holographic dome shimmered with a dazzling silver light, illuminating the entire hall. Under the intense light, every tiny detail was captured and magnified by the all-around live broadcast cameras.

The moment the live stream officially started, Lu Chenzhou lifted Chu Yu up into the cockpit by her waist with one hand.

The STARFALL team's dark green mechs were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws on the opposite side, but the man ignored them, keeping his head down and slowly fastening Chu Yu's specially made seat belt.

The other team members around him were already used to it and were each doing their own pre-match relaxation preparations.

This scene was magnified and broadcast live globally, causing another uproar.

As the strongest commander who has won the title for five consecutive terms, Lu Chenzhou has fans and supporters all over the world, including leaders and officials from various countries.

The live stream chat exploded with comments, scrolling so fast that it was impossible to read a single word.

[I'm scrambling, I'm scrambling, I'm scrambling! Who on earth is this woman?!]

[Zhou Ge's gaze towards her was practically dripping with jealousy! Jealousy makes me utterly repulsive...]

[If I remember correctly, the two seemed pretty normal during the last live stream?]

[I could tell during the last live broadcast that there was definitely something going on between Lu Shen and Tian Mei!]

……

Neither of the two teams paying attention to the speculations circulating in the live stream.

In particular, the "culprit" who sparked the heated discussion just knelt down and checked Chu Yu's shoelaces to make sure they were tied properly, as if no one else was around.

STARFALL is a newly established team that was founded last year. They have shown great momentum and have fought their way up to third place in the world rankings in just one year.

Today's final is between STARFALL and SILENCE for the championship title.

-

The instant the countdown ended.

Five dark green mechs charged towards SILENCE's pink healing pod like venomous bees—

Come again.

Chu Yu was a little speechless. During the pre-match analysis meeting, Lin Shen and Lu Chenzhou both predicted that the other side would start with her.

She weakly retorted a few words, saying that this was, after all, a world-class final.

Is it true that the most realistic business battles often employ the simplest methods?

The other party had clearly studied SILENCE's recent activities and the live broadcast of the qualifiers in detail.

The key is not to be new, but to work.

As a healer, Chu Yu is the weakest in both attack and defense within the entire team.

Most importantly, Lu Chenzhou, the core figure of the SILENCE team, cares about her very much.

Therefore, the moment the match started, they attacked Chu Yu without hesitation.

Fortunately, Lin Shen and Lu Chenzhou had prepared a countermeasure in advance.

Chu Yu reacted quickly and opened the holographic keyboard.

The cherry blossom-shaped sonic shield suddenly expanded, bouncing the enemy mechs around like bumper cars.

Lu Chenzhou's drone swarm took the opportunity to swoop down—STARFALL's thrusters were instantly surrounded!

Chu Yu lightly swiped her fingertips, and the sonic shield suddenly refracted a seven-colored aurora.

STARFALL's sniper was so dazed that his shot went way off target, and Tang Tang seized the opportunity to wield her electromagnetic twin blades and finish off the sniper: "Little Sweetie, that optical pollution move is so despicable! Who taught you that?"

"A commander who set up laser lights in the training room to launch a sneak attack."

As Chu Yu spoke, she secretly popped a gummy candy into her mouth, thinking no one would notice.

[Hahaha, Captain Lu clearly saw Sweetie secretly eating gummy candies, but he pretended not to see it when she looked over!]

[I should play along and pretend I didn't see it...]

[Lu Shen, don't love me too much!]

……

"Sniper, 45 degrees to the left flank."

"The mechanic flanks on the right flank."

"Assault troops provide cover."

"Healer, don't wander off, hide behind me."

Chu Yu obediently hid behind Lu Chenzhou's mecha, her cheeks slightly flushed.

While the other team members were given instructions to act, she was told to just stay put.

Never mind, her original task in the competition was simply to provide the commander with timely mental healing.

Everyone is doing their job.

Especially at this crucial moment, the biggest contribution she can make is to avoid causing trouble for her teammates.

The other side clearly sees her as the team's Achilles' heel, so the safest thing to do is to stay close behind Lu Chenzhou and play it safe!

……

Thanks to their early advantage, Team SILENCE ultimately won the championship without any major incidents.

On the awards stage, as usual, Lin Shen, the vice-captain, gave a speech on behalf of the team, thanking everyone and finally announcing that all the prize money from the competition would be donated to various charities.

A group of onlookers, waiting to see what would happen, said dejectedly:

[I thought Lu Shen would make an exception and say something this time!]

[This is such a perfect occasion for confessing love and proposing marriage, what do you think, Zhou Ge?]

[I don't care, you two just get married right now, okay?!]

……

After Lin Shen finished speaking, they were able to leave according to the normal procedure.

Subsequent interviews are usually handled by the team's designated spokesperson.

Unexpectedly, after glancing at the still enthusiastic comments section, the host boldly asked, "Captain Lu, regarding the most popular question in today's live stream, do you have anything you'd like to say to our global fans?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

For the past five years, Lu Chenzhou has never made a single public statement, not even a single word.

The host spoke out under immense pressure this time; it remains to be seen whether he will make an exception and give a response.

Lu Chenzhou, who originally did not intend to make a high-profile announcement, quietly turned his head to look at the girl beside him, as if seeking her opinion.

After a thrilling match, Chu Yu was completely exhausted.

While Lin Shen was speaking, she quietly found a blind spot in the camera's view and spaced out, lost in thought.

So when Lu Chenzhou looked at her, she didn't even realize it.

The live stream only showed Lu Chenzhou tilting his head, but it was obvious who he was looking at.

[Hahahaha, I never expected you to be like this, Lu Shen! You're henpecked!]

[Who understands! The way Zhou Ge looks at his wife is exactly like my husband, Da Yu!]

[Help! I think I'm hallucinating! I think I saw Lu Shen's big tail swaying back and forth!]

……

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Chenzhou reached out and took the microphone from Lin Shen's hand.

"Thank you all for your concern. If she agrees, she will make it public."

After saying that, without caring about the uproar this news would cause, he grabbed the stunned Chu Yu and turned to leave.

-

Lu Chenzhou originally planned to retire to the second line after this competition.

However, considering that the young girl's professional career has just begun, if he retires, I don't know which commander will benefit from her.

How could he allow such a thing to happen?

So SILENCE's fans watched helplessly as the announcement of their post-match retirement was simply taken down.

Lu Chenzhou accompanied Chu Yu through year after year of competitions.

Until Chu Yu achieved her career goal—winning the Best Healer award.

Both players announced their retirement after the match.

Before fans could even process this shocking news, Lu Chenzhou posted an even more explosive message on his social media account—

"She agreed."

The accompanying picture shows a slender, fair hand with a dazzling diamond ring on its ring finger.

Keen-eyed fans immediately noticed that this diamond ring was unique.

[Holy crap, am I seeing things? The diamonds around the edge look like the same ones from Lu Shen's previous championship medal!?]

[You read that right, that's exactly it. Every year, Lu Shen's medals feature the best diamonds mined that year—a total of nine! He actually removed them all! And used them as accent stones!!]

……

Chu Yu hadn't paid attention to these things before.

It wasn't until one day after their marriage, when she was helping Lu Chenzhou organize his medals, that she discovered that all the places where diamonds were set on the championship medals had been replaced by dark holes...

Only then did she understand the meaning behind the man's words at the wedding—

My loyalty, glory, and wealth all belong to you.

-

Chu Yu stayed in this world until she died of old age.

The medical technology of this era far surpasses that of the era in which she once lived.

Therefore, both she and Lu Chenzhou lived to be over ninety years old.

On her deathbed, Lu Chenzhou sat by her side, holding her hand tightly, and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, I will be with you."

Chu Yu wanted to say no, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't utter a single word.

Her consciousness gradually faded, and the man in front of her went from being blurry to completely invisible.

The last sound I heard was a man's heart-wrenching cry.

Lu Chenzhou, don't be sad, we will meet again.

soon.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The mission in this world has been successfully completed! Would you like to teleport to the next world?]

Back in the void, Chu Yu felt a pang of melancholy.

[Little Milk Cake.]

[The host is present.]

Can you see my current quest progress? How much longer until I complete the quest?

To be honest, she was a little tired.

I can finally understand the loneliness and pain of having an immortal body in the cultivation world.

If she could, she wouldn't want this endless life at all.

She just wants to go back to her original life and live her life to the fullest.

Who would have thought that something so simple was a luxury, something she had to desperately travel through various small worlds to achieve?

Little Milk Cake glanced at the overall progress silently, then remembered the things the Lord God had specifically instructed her to do during the morning meeting.

[Um, sorry Chu Chu, I can't see the exact progress right now, but it's very close, it should be done soon! Keep it up!]

This can be considered an encouragement to some extent.

Alright, let's teleport to the next world then.

As the saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane on the second attempt and be exhausted on the third!"

-END-

——oo——

I apologize for taking so long to finish this story. This is my first time working with esports and StarCraft settings, so there are many things that are not satisfactory. Please forgive me.

The previous chapter was heavily edited due to censorship issues. As compensation, I will add some bonus content to the original version.

Tonight or tomorrow, many people commented that the image quality was mediocre last time. This was because I used mirroring and flipping techniques; otherwise, the images would have been taken down within five minutes.
