According to the rules for the cosplay competition, the participants couldn’t transform their faces with an illusion spell. Of course, they were allowed to transform their bodies with the transfiguration spell.
At this moment, a werewolf walked toward the counter.
Meanwhile, two out of three girls at the counter turned and pointed at ‘You Ji’ who was sitting between them and said, “Gongzi Xiao said that he is ill today, and his little sister will do his work for him today.”
“Oh...” Mr. Fang waved his hand. “Tell him to report to me next time.”
Then, Mr. Fang saw the werewolf walking toward the counter and muttered in a muffled voice, “Old Xiao has a little sister? I’ve known him for a long time without hearing him mentioning it.”
‘You Ji’s’ face beneath the veil turned dark.
Mr. Fang who had just turned to pour himself a cup of milk tea paused his steps.
The loli version of Zhao Ling’er, who had been sipping Coke, and the nine-tailed demon fox Little White looked at ‘You Ji’ in alarm. “Who is she?!”
“What? Kid Xiao has a little sister?” An elegant and beautiful woman wearing a light and fluttering dress walked over with graceful steps. She had auspicious clouds surrounding her, and the thin gauze decorating her white dress fluttered even though there was no wind. She looked like a fairy walking out from a roll of painting.
“Ling Long?!” Everyone stared at her, recognizing that she was the woman who had suppressed the Beast God more than 10,000 years ago in Jade Dynasty.
Jiang Xiaoyue looked at the outfit on ‘Ling Long’ before glancing down at her own cosplay and exclaimed, “How come she brought her own special effects?”
Seeing that people were all staring at ‘Ling Long’, ‘You Ji’ tried to take this opportunity to slip away.
“Stop!” ‘Ling Long’ who had her own special effects stared at ‘You Ji’ and said with a snort, “How come I don’t know that Kid Xiao has a little sister?”
As Xiao Yulv’s aunt, it was impossible that she didn’t know he had a little sister. She instantly plucked off the veil from ‘You Ji’.
“Xiao! Yu! Lv!” Mr. Fang instantly stared back at him.
Hearing Mr. Fang’s shout, all the people including ‘Mephisto’, ‘Daoxuan Daoist’, and the ‘Liquor Sword Immortal’ looked toward them.
The atmosphere instantly froze in silence.
“Ahhhh!” Xiao Yulv finally let out a shrilling howl.
“Pu!” Jiang Xiaoyue spat out Coke all over the counter.
All the people were at a loss for words.
“Well done!” Mr. Fang patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully, “When we grade the difficulty of cosplays, you’ll get many extra points for sure!”
Xiao Yulv blushed and instantly took back his veil and put it back on.
“However,” Mr. Fang leaned over and said, “Your familiarity with the female role reminds me of the incident where two Fenghuas...”
The people all stared at Xiao Yulv with a strange look on their faces.
“Hahahaha! 1,000 years ago, the Liuyun Daoist Palace had a rare genius named the Thousand-Face Godly Master who could change into any person he wanted. Few people knew his real look.” Daoxuan Daoist said with a laugh, “Today, we couldn’t even recognize Nephew Xiao even though he sat among us; it seems that he has inherited and mastered this transformation technique!”
“Alliance Master Lan, you’re right.” The Ghost King Faction Master, who was dressed like a scholar, nodded in agreement. “It’s our fortune that we can see the Thousand-Face Technique from 1,000 years ago!”
“Ahem!” ‘You Ji’ finally raised his head. “Right. I’m...”
Before he could finish his words, he felt a gust of cold wind sweeping toward him. Immediately, he sat back down and shrank his neck. “Ahem. Thank you for your compliments, Seniors.”
The people thought that this interlude was over when a yellow ball flew down from upstairs while screaming, “Auch! How come your Jiuhua City is so cold as well?! Will someone open the door to the room upstairs and get me a quilt!?”
“...”
One minute later, people gaped at the big Smirking Face Emoji sitting on a couch, shivering inside a quilt. It glanced around and yelled, “Who told you that I can’t cosplay?!”
All the people in the area stared at it. “What are we seeing here?!”
They were almost blinded by this sight!
“Pu!” Even Mr. Fang spat out his drink.
“Hahahaha!”
“Awe... Awesome!”
“I... I have stitches on my sides! Hahaha!”‘Iori Yagami’, ‘Kyo Kusanagi’, ‘Ling Long’, and the others laughed so hard that they couldn’t straighten their backs.
Jiang Xiaoyue was laughing so hard that she rested her upper body on the counter.
Xiao Yulv: “Bro, you’re... old but sensational!”
They all cosplayed people or monsters; none of them had thought about cosplaying an emoji!
Meanwhile, a 
Emoji sat on the couch and calmly sipped its milk tea, seeming oblivious to the other’s ‘admiring gazes’ and hiding its fame.
The players came into the shop one by one. Today’s events were divided into two parts. The King of Fighters Competition was held during the day while the new year music festival and other entertainments would begin at 11 PM and continue into the early morning of the second day.
Ever since Orochi Divine Light was shown on the livestream, the number of the King of Fighters players had grown tremendously. Now, most of the players bought the King of Fighters in Qzone, and some rich ones even copied Mr. Fang and opened their own arcade shops.
That was why the King of Fighters Competition was such a popular and grand event.
A special audience stand was prepared in Qzone for the King of Fighters Competition.
Different from the Diablo 2 Competition, the King of Fighters Competition was using a platform system to sieve through the players. In Qzone, the competition ground was divided into several areas with platforms built.
All the participants had three chances to fight, and the participants with the highest scores would enter the finals.
Under the bright illumination of lights, the audience stand was full of customers from both shops. Obviously, many people wanted to take this chance to have some fun since they would have two more hours of computer time today.
“Now, let’s welcome the participants!” Ning Bi, wearing her green long dress, had a microphone in her hand. Mr. Fang had invited her to host this event.
Her fluttering green dress and sweet smile stunned many people.
“F*ck?!”
“Biyao?!”
“Such a good cosplay!”
Meanwhile, some people sat in the lounge area and watched the events’ livestream on the big screens while they waited for their turns to get online during the night.
“So... Gongzi...” Mo Donglai had a thin layer of sweat on his face. “Ms. You Ji, what do you think of the situation? Who do you think will get good rankings in the King of Fighters Competition?”
