"!!!"
Right now!
Inside the Snake club, the Snake manager was resting on a yoga mat. Her name was Wu Qian, a single woman nearing thirty, at twenty-eight.
She had high aspirations for her life.
Especially after a hard day's work and returning home.
Yoga, bubble baths, face masks, cucumbers – a refined life, not a single element could be missing. She had just finished her yoga session, her body glistening with sweat.
She planned to let her sweat cool a bit before happily taking a bath.
She had some free time!
She'd sort through her friend requests. If it were in the past, she might not have accepted them, but today her mood was good. During the annual review, her boss had given her a ten percent bonus.
Naturally, her mood was excellent.
Working for the boss was a tough job; the black-hearted capitalists didn't treat employees like humans at all.
But when she received her salary, and a raise at that.
Manager Wu had only one thought: Boss, please continue your attitude. As long as there's enough money, I can give up being human. Thus, she chose to voluntarily work overtime.
Initially, Wu Qian didn't have high expectations. These flexible managers usually introduced some minor players and conducted various screenings, which didn't cost much.
What was wrong with a chat?
But upon learning it was about two players, specifically a bot lane duo, a flicker of interest was piqued. She immediately understood that this was a targeted approach.
Snake was currently short on a bot lane.
It couldn't be helped!
Compared to other positions, the bot lane was the hardest for a team to fill.
Good carries wouldn't be let go by other teams.
And good supports were even rarer, like finding a needle in a haystack. Besides that, there was another awkward problem: what if the new support didn't match well with the new ADC?
Then what?
Find new ones.
Because of this, progress had been slow.
Snake had also prepared for the worst-case scenario: bringing up two players from the youth training. But they had tested them before, and their performance was only average. They would likely be relegated to a supporting role for the year.
Therefore, they still needed to consider other possibilities. And now, here one was!
[Manager Wu: What rank? How old?]
[Chen Yi: Both are eighteen!]
[Manager Wu: Rank?]
[Chen Yi: One is top thirty in King, the other is top one hundred, just shy of fifty.]
At first, Wu Qian was hopeful.
In fact, when she heard their age, her eyes lit up. This age was perfect; not only did it avoid the hassle of contracts with minors, but their bodies were also in their prime.
Perfect!
However, after hearing their rank, she was slightly disappointed. But after thinking it over, she decided to give them a chance and planned to contact them tomorrow.
But just as Manager Wu was about to reply.
A video was sent over.
It was a highlight clip from a game. She had seen similar ones before. Such impressive plays were good and had some reference value, but only reference value.
A public match wasn't the same as a professional game; the difference was huge.
"Dominating a King-ranked game, this is acceptable..."
Ultimately, she chose to hand the decision over to her superior and sent the video. After that, Wu Qian happily went to take a bath, expecting a reply the next day.
But then...
Just as she lay down in the bathtub, ready to binge-watch shows.
The phone rang.
As soon as she answered, the urgent voice of head coach JUN came through, "Where are they? Are the people from just now still here? Find them for me quickly, I'm going to contact them for a tryout immediately."
"????"
WTF!
JUN was usually a pretty laid-back person. He liked to preach to the players during work hours and strictly followed the rules after work.
Because of this, he often wouldn't even log in.
But now he was acting completely out of character.
"Coach, don't get so worked up. I saw it too. His rank isn't that high. Can't he just start tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? What tomorrow? Wei Shen said... what's the point of a high rank? Being strong is all that matters. Do you know who that ADC getting stomped was? It was UZI!"
"!!!!"
One sentence!
Manager Wu was a little flustered.
Since it was a highlight reel, he had only focused on the plays and hadn't paid attention to the IDs. But with that comment, the meaning changed entirely. An ADC who could dominate UZI...
Let alone in a public lobby, there weren't many in the entire world.
But even so, it shouldn't make Jun this agitated late at night, right?
Then, Jun continued, "Do you know what's the hardest thing about the bot lane?"
"Chemistry?"
"Exactly! A good bot lane duo needs a long time to mesh, maybe a month, maybe two. But this bot lane duo doesn't need any meshing at all because they're already a combination."
Manager Wu hadn't really noticed that. As he clicked to search, The moment he saw the match history of both sides, Manager Wu completely lost his composure. He even felt his breathing quicken. Wasn't this exactly what they were looking for?
JUN: "Hurry up and contact them. I'll arrange it immediately."
"Okay! I'll go right now..."
Shower?
No need!
Work comes first.
Meanwhile, Chen Yi had already finished eating. After confirming there was no reply, he felt a bit disappointed. He'd contact them again tomorrow, and if that didn't work, he'd resort to the backup plan.
Simple!
At the same time, he glanced at Su Nuan, who was busy in the kitchen. A satisfied smile appeared on Chen Yi's lips.
Chen Yi was going to clean up himself, but she directly warned him.
Telling him to let her do it.
She said it was repayment for her hospitality these past few days. In that situation, refusing would be ungrateful, especially to someone like Su Nuan, it would only backfire.
So he had to agree.
Watching all this, the atmosphere really built up.
It was just like this in his past life!
Except now the kitchen was a bit bigger, and she was wearing a half-apron, wiping down everything, bottles and jars alike. According to Su Nuan, Regular wiping could extend their lifespan.
She didn't even spare the hidden corners.
For example, inside the floor cabinets. To clean them, Su Nuan had to bend down to get inside, a scene Chen Yi naturally saw, but he only glanced.
Then he looked away.
Don't ask!
Looking too much could lead to an explosion.
When God closes a door, he opens a window. It was the same situation here. Su Nuan was indeed quite flat, only around an A+, barely a B.
But she had long legs!
And because she sat often, she had more flesh on her lower body, which was also quite perky. Especially when she bent over, combined with the lifting effect of her jeans.
It could only be said... the destructive power was astonishing.
Cough, cough, cough!
"Why are you coughing?"
"This..."
Chen Yi couldn't possibly say he was peeking. He cleared his throat and said, "Do you want to take a shower after you finish? You've been sweating a lot, so..."
"No! Absolutely not!"
"!!!"
Chen Yi clicked his tongue. Her reaction was unusually strong. Looking at her slightly flushed cheeks, he wasn't sure if it was shyness or exhaustion.
He then nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I understand."
"It's good that you understand!"
After Su Nuan finished cleaning, she put everything back in its original place. It felt much cleaner than before, even giving off a sense of home.
Returning to the sofa, she opened another bottle of AD Calcium Milk for herself.
One bite.
Satisfied!
"Is it good?"
"Mhm!"
Su Nuan nodded. She liked it the most.
At the same time, she glanced at Chen Yi. Perhaps their relationship had gotten closer, but she still found it hard to accept showering at a stranger's house.
Chen Yi knew this, so he didn't force her.
Anyway, Su Nuan was quite clean.
If not today, then sometime in the future.
No rush.
For now?
He'd start by fixing their sleep schedule. Chen Yi yawned and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. I've already contacted the team, and we might get results tomorrow!"
"Really? I'm not well-read, don't lie to me?"
"If you don't believe me, look..."
As he spoke!
Chen Yi pulled out their chat logs.
At this moment, Su Nuan felt that the person before her was even more capable than she had imagined. Just as she was about to praise Chen Yi a bit, a message arrived!
[Manager Wu: Hello?]
[Manager Wu: Are you there? If it's possible, I can arrange a tryout right now.]
