Bronya's Hint? She Spelled It Out!
Bronya sat in the gaming chair, her fingers awkwardly resting on the keyboard and mouse.
However, after just one beginner tutorial session, she demonstrated an amazing learning ability.
As the commander of the Silvermane Guards, her long and arduous missions honed her extraordinary reaction speed, situational judgment, and calm mind.
It was perfectly showcased in the virtual Summoner's Rift.
The initial awkwardness quickly faded, Bronya's movements became precise and decisive.
Last hitting, positioning, skill usage...
They all exuded a level of experience that was completely different from that of novices.
Lin Hai watched from the sidelines, quite surprised.
He hadn't expected that Bronya would not only pick it up so quickly, but also become completely absorbed in it.
She was genuinely thinking carefully about how to win the game, and with her outstanding talent, she won repeatedly.
In three consecutive ranked matches, Bronya delivered outstanding performances, leading her team to victory.
Win three games in a row.
She took a sip of cola and ate two bites of potato chips, showing no sign of stopping.
Bronya's eyes were glued to the screen, completely absorbed in the thrill of the game.
Lin Hai smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.
In any case, being able to relax for a while and escape from the endless internal strife is something to be happy about.
As dusk fell.
Lin Hai was a little hungry, so he opened his phone, opened a food delivery app, and ordered several portions of barbecue.
Before long, the barbecue arrived, and its aroma filled the entire room.
Lin Hai placed the barbecue on the round table and said with a smile, "Come and have something to eat, then you can play."
Cipher is scrolling through short videos, and she's completely engrossed in it.
Upon hearing Lin Hai's words, Cipher put down her phone, quickly moved closer to the table, and pulled up a chair to sit down.
Bronya accelerated the game's progress, leading the charge and overwhelming the enemy, taking down their base in one fell swoop.
Since it's an online game, there's no way to pause it.
Bronya stretched, pushed her gaming chair, and walked over to the round table.
Lin Hai, Cipher, and Bronya sat together, sharing a delicious barbecue.
The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere was very enjoyable for Cipher, Bronya's tense nerves were also relieved.
The conversation naturally turned to Belobog's current situation.
Through the conversation, Cipher learned about the predicament faced by that icy world and gained a deeper understanding of the cause that Lin Hai was working hard for.
Cipher comforted Bronya, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Things need to be done step by step. First, stabilize the Underworld, and then try to change the Upper Districts. This is a prudent strategy."
Lin Hai nodded in agreement; this was exactly his plan.
Bronya took a deep breath. "You're right, I've been overthinking it, and that's made me anxious."
At this moment, Cipher changed the subject, looking at Bronya with curiosity, and asked in a low voice:
"Speaking of which... how far have things progressed between you and Lin Hai?"
Bronya's cheeks flushed, but she was surprisingly candid. "I've done almost everything I needed to."
This concise answer contains a wealth of information.
Cipher was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that this seemingly calm and serious Silvermane Guards had such a close relationship with Lin Hai.
Cipher felt she was bold enough.
The speed at which her relationship with Lin Hai progressed was nothing short of phenomenal.
Compared to Bronya, she's actually much slower!
"How... are you feeling?" Cipher couldn't help but ask.
Bronya's lips curled into a smile, her gaze softened, and she looked at Lin Hai meaningfully.
"It feels great... very relaxing, and very safe. It's a really, really wonderful feeling!"
These words stirred something within Cipher.
She subconsciously looked up and cast a meaningful glance at Lin Hai beside her, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Lin Hai received her gaze and naturally understood its meaning.
He smiled to himself, thinking that perhaps he could start a game tonight.
But for now, let's enjoy this delicious barbecue.
Lin Hai took a bite of the lamb skewer.
Only delicious food and beautiful women should not be missed!
Even after enjoying their late-night snack, the three remained in high spirits.
Cipher looked at the flashing game interface on the screen and suggested:
"How about the three of us team up and play together?"
Bronya said, "Sure, I'd love to team up and play too, but there's only one room with two computers."
There aren't enough computers to support three people playing games simultaneously.
Lin Hai immediately stood up. "That's easy, I'll go to the front desk and change rooms."
He quickly completed the change of arrangements, and the three of them moved to a spacious room equipped with three high-end computers.
The new environment is more comfortable, and the equipment is more professional.
Lin Hai and the others sat in gaming chairs, opened League of Legends, and entered ranked mode.
The game began, and the three players each chose the hero they were good at.
Strictly speaking, these aren't the heroes they're best at.
Because they have played a limited number of games, their understanding of the different types of heroes in the game is also very limited.
That's enough!
Lin Hai plays the marksman with exquisite skills, Bronya plays the stable top lane, and Cipher chooses the jungler position to roam the entire map.
Their teamwork was unexpectedly seamless, as if they were telepathically connected.
Bronya's precise initiation, Cipher's timely support, and Lin Hai's consistent damage output...
The three were like a well-trained professional esports team, invincible in the game.
In the first few rounds, they won easily with an absolute advantage, as if they were swatting fish in a low-skill game.
However, as their winning streak continued, the system matched them with stronger opponents.
However, even against skilled opponents, the three still managed to achieve victory thanks to their outstanding individual skills and perfect teamwork.
The in-game chat box is constantly popping up with compliments from teammates and opponents:
"This is incredible! Is this really not a script?"
"Even a script couldn't possibly operate to this extent."
"The marksman, is he a professional gamer?"
"Having played this far, why not go to the professional arena and make a name for yourself?!"
Looking at the messages, the three of them smiled at each other.
Lin Hai and the two girls all experienced unprecedented fun in the game.
Bronya, in particular, was completely immersed in the thrill of the game and unknowingly played all night long.
She only realized how much time had passed when the morning light began to appear outside the window.
Bronya rubbed her slightly sore eyes, turned to Lin Hai, took a deep breath, and slowly said:
"Thank you, Lin Hai, not only for everything you've done for Belobog, but also for tonight... This has been the most relaxing and happiest night I've had in a long time."
As she spoke, she left the gaming chair, walked to Lin Hai's side, bent down, and left a sweet kiss on his cheek.
Lin Hai responded gently, "It's enough that you can temporarily relieve your stress."
Bronya's eyes gleamed as she promised, "Once the ventilation ducts in the Underworld are fully completed, I'll prepare a special reward for you."
Lin Hai asked curiously, "What kind of reward?"
Bronya gave a mysterious smile, "It will definitely feel even better than Sparkle."
This hint...
It's hardly a hint; it's practically an explicit statement.
This made Lin Hai feel a sense of anticipation.
Afterwards, Bronya said goodbye to Cipher and clutched the Contract Lucky Star tightly.
In a flash of light, her figure vanished, returning to the Underworld of Belobog to continue fulfilling her responsibilities.
Only Lin Hai and Cipher remained in the room.
They smiled at each other, both seeing the desire for further relaxation in each other's eyes.
Cipher lowered her voice and said, "Should I change into a red dress?"
"Change it! Change it right now!"
