A good buddy type beautiful girl?
Melina was just stunned for a moment and felt that what Beren said made sense. Sonia did give people the feeling of a good friend. If Maria is actually the most popular succubus among male fans, then Sonia is the succubus who has the best relationship with male fans.
Even Mr. Istalid is still on good terms with Sonia.
Even the pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes beside Yi Xiansen, the yellow-haired brother Miles and the fat brother Benjamin all have a good relationship with Sonia. Not to mention low-level explorers like Charlie and some dark elf explorers. Although most of the time it is Maria who issues tasks to these explorers and collectors.
But these people were still a little afraid of Maria. They felt that this golden retriever sister with a sunny smile had a scary temperament.
Only Sonia is indeed very popular, and even the clockwork cat will speak her mind in front of her.
Melina's appraising gaze made Sonia's scalp tingle. This tomboy who really didn't look like a tomboy because of his good looks spread his hands:
"If you look at me like this again, I'm going to go crazy."
"Yeah." Melina looked away.
Belen said as if guiding students on the way forward:
"This competition is a good opportunity. It not only provides Melina with a popularity base, but also provides you with opportunities. Clockwork Cat is very hungry when reporting on competitions, so as long as you announce your participation, you can gain a certain foundation. Popularity, how to use this popularity? The strong ones rely on championships, and the weak ones rely on hype."
Belen closed his eyes:
"This is not an era where the winner will definitely be sought after. Sometimes hype is more important."
Melina heard the voiceover:
"So Professor Belen, don't you like this state? It's really strange, you are obviously an idol too."
"You love what you do, and there are many kinds of love. My love for my profession is just close to ordinary love."
Maybe Belen really has his own philosophy of life?
"In terms of popularity, if you want to be successful, you must have your own story. Miss Sonia, what is your story?"
Beren's eyes seemed to see through the fog, looking deep into Sonia's heart.
Sonia murmured to herself:
"my story?"
…
…
The recent spate of high-value creatures in the Weeping Peninsula has led the Explorer Academy to finally pass the agreement and send the second batch of trainees. In the official letter, this group of trainees are called:
[Explorers’ Guild and the Second Phase of the Academy’s Dragon Ecology Research Group]
Composed of team and research members with considerable combat capabilities.
Their preparations are much better than those of the first batch of trainees.
It is not surprising that there is a huge difference between the first-term students and them. After all, the first-term students really come here to study, while the second-term students come here for one purpose only, which is to research.
In Hamlet's Banshee Street, caravans transporting Banshee plots passed by.
In the caravan, there are a large number of shelves similar to a plant cultivation observation room. Small glass cabinets are stored on the shelves, and the reduced Banshee plots, devices, and buildings are stored in the cabinets.
These things will build a Dragon Research Institute covering an area of 5,600 acres in the local Banshee Street, which includes a 1:30 scaled-down observation greenhouse assembly package and a 1:50 scaled-down ecological environment simulation greenhouse.
Original timber logging site, mineral collection site, communication tower and 1:5000 portable marine ecosystem.
The second generation students decided to rebuild a Dragon Research Institute, right here.
The number of clockwork cats, collectors and traders who came with them almost exceeded that of the locals of Hamlet. The well-trained self-conscious people walked outside the town of Hamlet to the entrance of the Weeping Peninsula, the straight road nicknamed 'Sonia's Face' Nearby, a basic campsite was set up using a portable caravan.
Elizabeth, who came here following the petite professor named Sophie, looked at the place.
"We're here, um, we're finally here!" Professor Sophie jumped up and down energetically, flexing her arms and legs, and then slipped to the ground with a snap, posing in a super exaggerated forward-straddle horse pose, and her face suddenly changed. Pale and silent.
Elizabeth put her hands in front of her belly, looking around with a slightly disgusted expression.
Her eyes were caught by an item.
That's a poster.
The poster shows a girl group, two busty dwarfs with disgusted faces and a thin, flat-chested guy with a happy face. They were all wearing swimsuits, and the poster read in big letters:
“Best spa beach in Hamlet”
“Top 10 Clockwork Cat Operated Hot Springs”
“Even in winter, enjoy the warmth of the beach in a swimsuit”
"Support Sonia for her second debut, this winter, I will have your warmth."
Elizabeth walked to the poster, squatted down, and when she stood up, a silver hair appeared in her hand.
There was a noise coming from behind:
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa another students, students feel sorry for their teachers. I'm such a good teacher, and you still don't come to help me. Humph, I'm going to fail you next time!"
Professor Sophie came over, holding her waist. Compared to such a trivial matter as having her legs crossed, the petite professor's back pain was more of a problem with a flexible body.
She looked at the head student in the school with curiosity:
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Elizabeth played with the silver hair in her hands and narrowed her golden eyes slightly:
"It's Miss Melina."
"Huh?" Professor Sophie put her hands on her hips and looked at the head student. "Although silver hair is a special hair color, it is not uncommon among us banshees, right?"
Elizabeth let go of her hand and watched the silver-white hair disappear into the air.
…
…
Putting down a thick stack of posters, Melina put her hands on her hips and asked Belen:
"There are many?"
Beren looked at the number and shook his head:
"This is the last stack."
Sonia stood beside her with her hands on her hips:
"Is this okay? Will they really come to the scene to cheer me on?"
The three of them were currently on Banshee Street, putting up posters from house to house. Sonia had always had subtle doubts about the classical technique of posters.
Can such a soft thing really attract people?
"Absolutely."
Belen swears by it, and when it comes to her profession, she swears to God:
"Because your real level is really lacking, we need to focus our attention on other places, for example, the operational hype with Clockwork Cats. Thanks to Melina, there are about a hundred of them Clockwork Cat is competing.”
"What do you mean thanks to me?" Melina asked dissatisfied.
"I don’t think I need to tell you the news that you are considered the same kind by the Clockwork Cats. The reason why the Clockwork Cats participate in the competition is that they naturally love to join in the fun, and on the other hand, your participation encourages Clockwork Cats to participate in the competition." Cat, thank you."
Belen thanked her sincerely, and Melina clenched her fists.
Sonia quickly changed the topic:
"So what's the benefit of being associated with a clockwork cat?"
"The good thing is that 90 Clockwork Cats have been eliminated, 3 have advanced, and about ten more are struggling in the second and third battles. In other words, they are relatively weak. If you get involved with them, no matter it is You can have your say whether you win or lose.”
Belen elaborates on the benefits:
"And Sonia, you are very good-looking and have rare attributes." - Among banshees, poverty is a truly rare attribute, and elves and banshees are both notoriously capital-heavy people.
"As long as you are positioned from the perspective of 'participating for publicity', you will still attract some fans. Doesn't your story say that you are just a banshee with a bad background? With this positioning, you can promote A wave of competitive spirit is another way out.”
Is this a professional? So cool... Melina is skilled in acting and looked at Belen with a disgusted expression:
"Then, senior Sonia, there's no need to bring me along, right?"
"Hmph, you think I want to take you?"
Beren raised his head, his expression disgusting.
Sonia next to her was hesitant to speak. Although she couldn't hear any useful information, she made up a lot of useful information in her mind, showing an expression that said, "It's not easy for an idol to be forced by the agency."
Melina keenly caught her expression, snorted again, and said to find fault:
"Senior, you seem a little afraid of losing?"
Hearing her question, Sonia hesitated and flatly denied:
"I'm not afraid of losing. Failure is nothing unusual in my life. Take today's game as an example. If I were afraid of losing, would I follow that turtle girl slowly? Hum, lose. This kind of thing, as long as you lose too much, you won’t be afraid of her at all!”
Is this really something that can be said openly? ...Melina almost wanted to wipe her sweat. Senior Sonia was really not an ordinary person. Even among the trash, she was considered a rare best.
But after careful analysis, she found that this might be a sign of fear of losing.
Thinking about this, she exchanged a look with Beren and found that the other party thought the same way.
You said what I said?
you say.
Push it to me again?
Melina turned her eyes away from Belen's eyes, gracefully grabbed her long silver hair, and blew on it.
When she counted to three in her mind, Beren finally sighed and said:
"Sonia...it's okay if I call you this, right?"
Sonia nodded and signaled the other person to continue.
"Deliberately choosing a way to lose is also a manifestation of fear of losing. If you know that you will lose with a high probability, just don't pursue winning. In this way, even if you fail, you can say to yourself, 'I didn't want to win.' Saving face is itself a fear of losing."
Sonia lowered her head and bit her lower lip gently.
Melina took over Belen's topic like a big sister and said:
"Senior sister, what are you afraid of? No one will blame you for not getting good grades, no one will scold you for not being first. It seems that you have been forcing yourself to become an excellent explorer from a long time ago "Your words are always honorable, but why are you afraid of losing?"
If Sonia's deep-rooted 'fear of losing' mentality is not resolved, she will be very coy even if she confesses... What a troublesome woman... Melina thought unconsciously.
After nearly thirty seconds of silence, Sonia said awkwardly:
"Losing means death, right?"
