Seeing her younger sister become the protagonist of a doujin, even though she herself was the real culprit behind it.
Yet in this moment, Yun Ruoxi couldn’t help but feel genuine amazement.
“Wow.”
Her face flushed red as she randomly opened one, skimming through it briefly, and found to her surprise that it was actually… not bad.
Although compared to the characters in anime,
The figures in the doujins looked a little off, but they still more or less captured Aili’s figure and appearance.
Coupled with the vivid expressions,
She had to admit, it was really quite risqué.
As she kept flipping, she hadn’t expected to even find doujins of herself.
It had to be said, she had never once requested anyone to draw a doujin of her.
But looking at the artist’s name—Qingtan, and recalling those famous Tornado doujins from the same hand,
Yun Ruoxi’s gaze became somewhat complicated.
This person…
Could it be that she was being treated as a substitute for Tornado?
Her eyes lingered on the doujin’s cover for a while, but in the end Yun Ruoxi just didn’t have the courage to open it.
Letting her look at her little sister’s doujin, she could barely manage that.
But looking at one about herself, she just couldn’t do it.
Just looking at that distorted “self” on the cover, showing an utterly shameful expression she’d never actually make, was enough to send chills down her spine.
“Maybe this is the Uncanny Valley Effect!”
Yun Ruoxi shook her head and sent a reply to every artist, confirming receipt and expressing her thanks.
Then she continued scrolling.
Below those doujins were messages from Bilibili or Douyin creators she’d worked with.
After all, making videos was much faster than drawing, so naturally messages from creators piled up too.
She still skimmed through them roughly. Most of the videos, as per her request, shamelessly shipped “AiXi CP,” but there were some that took a different path.
For example, one video was actually titled: “Abuse Xi Squad, You Win”
She clicked in for a look.
It turned out to be a compilation of every scene from episode one to episode eight where she got the short end of the stick, all pieced together, set against various expressions of Aili, using the changes in Aili’s expression to rate just how bad each moment was for her.
Then she glanced at the comments.
[Good grief, if they’d added even one more second it’d be a full reveal.]
[I’m new here. This blue-haired loli who keeps getting rekt is supposed to be the strongest in the Battle Camp? (confused)]
[Respect to the legendary Battle Camp student Lao Xi, takes the biggest L’s, fights the fiercest battles.]
[Lao Xi is flawless.]
[Lao Xi’s flawless.]
Unsurprisingly, this video was among the top three most-played of all the sponsored content.
“This creator’s pretty good. I’ll have to work with them again in the future if there’s a chance.”
Yun Ruoxi nodded with satisfaction.
After all, videos that boosted her persona and brought her more fans were always welcome.
Once this season ended, until the next season aired, she’d need to rely on these videos to keep the traffic flowing.
Class Three, as the victors, would still need some time to return to base.
Yun Ruoxi, having her curiosity piqued by those videos, entered the system space and browsed Bilibili’s anime section for a bit of post-training relaxation.
By now, episode eight of “Stellar” was undeniably a worldwide hit.
As soon as she opened the anime section, she was greeted by a flood of “Stellar” analysis videos and fan creations.
There were world-building analyses, and also explanations of hidden metaphors and Easter eggs—there were just so many cultural references from all over the world in “Stellar,” widely believed to be background details reflecting a unified Earth within the story.
So plenty of people were obsessed with digging those up.
Of course, there were also people trying to deduce Yun Ruoxi’s backstory from the scraps of dialogue in the show.
But she checked a few of the most popular ones.
And all of them, without exception—
Aside from the fact that she herself had already revealed—her parents’ deaths, which was true—the rest were mostly off the mark.
“The class battle is lost, but no one reflects on their own faults? If you can’t find a girlfriend, you should reflect too, right? If you can’t awaken powers, can’t transmigrate, should you reflect on yourself too?”
“Everything’s my fault, reflect, reflect… I worked so hard to take down 0001, and then get betrayed, and it’s still my fault. I never lose a fight, but my team gets steamrolled, and still it’s my fault.”
“How am I supposed to reflect, huh!”
“Tell me how I’m supposed to win? My boyfriend wants to team up with someone else to mess me up—how am I supposed to win?”
Reading this, Yun Ruoxi couldn’t help but laugh.
This generation of netizens was just too lively. They’d even used AI to swap her face and voice onto someone else.
She shook her head, and seeing that time was about up, exited the system space.
Just like after the first year’s annual assessment, after the second year’s class battle, the Battle Camp also held a banquet for them to unwind.
This time, it was even grander and lasted longer than before.
Instructor Behemoth even personally awarded the victorious Class Three a prize at the banquet—a medal engraved with “Second Year Assessment Winner Medal.”
This was obviously a ploy to win people over, and Lin Zhen, Yun Ruoxi, and the rest, fully aware of it, were naturally unaffected.
But the other trainees were another story.
Even Aili, who’d been repeatedly warned by Yun Ruoxi about these things, couldn’t help but show an envious look.
Next, Behemoth’s announcement brought even greater cheers from most of the students.
“After the banquet, all trainees will have two days off. Each class’s instructor will take you to the Shengshou Guild’s entertainment facilities to relax.”
At the same time, in a different dimension, after a week’s wait, episode nine of the anime was finally airing.
[Right on time, I’m ready to watch.]
[Can’t wait!]
[They’re starting with an award? Battle Camp sure knows how to brainwash.]
[Hmm, entertainment venues? Are they what I’m thinking of?]
[It’s the interstellar age, there should be sex dolls by now, right?]
[Are you saying they’re taking a bunch of twelve- or thirteen-year-olds to brothels?]
[Moderator warning]
[So is the swimsuit episode finally here?]
Amid the audience’s curiosity—
The instructors of each class led the trainees aboard spaceships, departing from Pandora-35 and heading deep into the Asa Star System, to a beautiful planet.
This planet, called Shengyuxing, was custom-built by the Shengshou Guild as an entertainment retreat for its members.
Ordinary members had to spend points to come here.
But trainees of the Battle Camp didn’t have any points; all their expenses were covered by the camp.
It was, in a sense, an all-expenses-paid group trip.
Shengyuxing was vast, with countless entertainment facilities.
However, the Battle Camp didn’t give them total freedom.
Because they were still trainees, not official members of the Shengshou Guild.
“When you become part of the Shengshou Guild, you can go wherever you want, but for now, that’s not allowed.”
That was how Instructor Behemoth explained it, before arranging for them all to stay in a single resort area.
Though called a resort, the place was enormous.
It included grasslands, oceans, jungles, and all kinds of high-tech amusements.
After checking into the hotel, the trainees could choose whichever transportation provided by the resort to go wherever they wished.
