At those words, Su Nuan froze for a moment.
Then she was surprised!
Shock, disbelief.
As Chen Yi grew puzzled by her changing emotions and wondered what was going on, Su Nuan turned the phone around. Before he could even make out the words on the screen, she threw herself at him and hugged him.
"Wow! You're amazing! I can't believe it really worked. Am I going to become a professional player?"
"!!!!"
Is she always this enthusiastic?
There was nothing he could do!
Su Nuan was simply too happy. In truth, when she had come here, she had also wondered whether her idea would work.
She wanted to win the world's first championship for women.
But wanting something was one thing.
Whether she could actually achieve it was another. She had thought it would take some time, but unexpectedly, this was only her second day here. How could she not be happy?
She hugged Chen Yi and celebrated wildly, clearly overjoyed.
Was she happy?
Of course she was.
But after her celebration, once she realized what she had done, even Su Nuan's little face instantly flushed red.
Wait...
What am I doing?
She immediately released her arms from around Chen Yi's waist and panicked, even becoming a little tongue-tied as she said, "Um... you... don't misunderstand. I just..."
"Were you too happy?"
"Huh? Mm!"
Su Nuan nodded shyly, not daring to look Chen Yi in the eye. This was the first time in her life that she had hugged a man her own age for so long!
On top of that, she had been jumping around all over the place. It would have been a lie to say she wasn't embarrassed.
She was even a little scared inside.
He won't blame me, will he?
Blame her?
That was impossible.
When Su Nuan had thrown herself at him, Chen Yi had been startled too. But after understanding everything, he had only one thought: Doing it once more wouldn't be bad either.
But this wasn't the time to think about that.
They had to handle the proper business first. Besides, with one man and one woman, they couldn't let a little physical contact make things awkward. If one person became awkward, the other would too. How could they continue then?
Someone had to step forward and keep the conversation going.
That someone was Chen Yi.
He immediately said, "I know! Get ready. An online trial is simple, but it tests your condition. Once you pass, you'll have one foot in the professional scene. You're going to become the woman who wins the championship, after all. What? Are you scared?"
"Scared? Who's scared?"
At once, Su Nuan refused to back down.
She raised her head and puffed out her chest. "Bring it on. Who's afraid of whom?"
"Good!"
That was all he needed to hear.
Chen Yi knew very well that Su Nuan wasn't timid. With the system's enhancement on top of that, the online trial would definitely pose no problem.
At the same time!
Manager Wu had already arrived at the club. Everything was for this trial, and head coach Jun had come to watch it as well.
The trial itself was very simple.
Some teams gave tests, such as asking questions, while others were more direct.
They simply had two people play a match.
Then they watched.
This time, it was the latter. As the game began and they saw their opponents, both their expressions turned serious, because they had encountered famous players.
Back in Season 2, there had been a team that became the brightest presence in the world.
Even now,
many people still talked about them with relish. That team was the old WE, the first team to have an icon. And the people the two of them had encountered this time
were the old bot-lane duo!
Smiling and Curly Hair!
Perhaps that had been the height of their former glory, but even a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even after all these years, their skill compared with ordinary players
was still far superior.
"Pay a little more attention this game. Don't focus on the result; focus on the process. If you lose, as long as you perform well, give them a contract and have them come for an offline trial."
"Huh? They'll lose? No way, right? They even beat UZI. Is Smiling stronger than UZI now? Impossible, right?"
"You can't put it that way. It depends on the duo. Yesterday, there was only UZI, but this time there are two people in the bot lane. A duo's power is three to five times that of an individual. Do you understand what I mean?"
"..."
Manager Wu wanted to say more, but ultimately nodded.
That was indeed true.
So she made up her mind not to miss a single detail. If they could solve snake's bot-lane problem, she wouldn't have to work overtime like this anymore.
She glanced at the time and figured she probably wouldn't be able to leave for another hour or two.
Unfortunately, Manager Wu had overestimated it.
One or two hours?
Sorry!
Fifteen minutes. Clean and decisive.
A complete rout.
From the moment they entered lane until the end, the bot lane had not been given even the slightest chance to breathe. Smiling and Curly Hair had been completely suppressed, to the point that it even felt as if
the two sides were on entirely different levels.
Meanwhile, in the livestream, the two of them were beaten until their scalps went numb.
Curly Hair: "They're experts!"
Smiling: "Definitely experts. With this level of skill, the two of them would be more than capable even in the professional scene. Could they be trainees?"
Curly Hair: "Probably not. Let's look at their records..."
"Okay!"
It was one thing not to look. Once they did, they were utterly shocked.
A terrifying winning streak!
The two of them were stunned. This wasn't merely strong anymore—they were hackers, weren't they?
A winning streak?
No, no, no!
The important thing wasn't that. It was the terrifying records. The earlier games were still normal, but later on... especially the most recent few, they had basically killed twenty or thirty people every game.
These were Challenger matches!
[Are they... cheating?]
[This record is way too ridiculous, isn't it? Should we report them?]
[Report my ass. Didn't you see the WEgame record screenshots? They played every game themselves.]
[Where did these monsters come from?]
They couldn't understand it at all!
Smiling also began typing, wanting to know whether the two were professional players.
The reply was that they were ordinary players.
Truly ordinary players. At that moment, an idea appeared in Smiling's mind. Perhaps he could introduce the two of them to WE. They might not be needed this year,
but what about next year?
No one could guarantee that a particular player could keep playing for two years straight.
But just as he was about to type and contact them, the two had already logged off. As for the reason, naturally, they had gone to handle proper business. The people in the livestream were left utterly stunned.
The two members of snake were also so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped.
This is too fierce, isn't it?
Jun's eyes lit up, and even his breathing grew rapid. "I'll leave these two to you. You must get them to join our team. If necessary, you can offer them more money..."
"How much more?"
"One million!"
"!!!!"
One million for newcomers was already an extremely high price. It showed how much Jun valued the two of them, and Manager Wu had never expected it.
snake had searched for a bot lane for so long, only to find one here.
No!
It wasn't that they had found one. It was that one had fallen from the sky.
Manager Wu didn't know whether pies would fall from the sky, but players really could. She immediately became delighted. The problem that had troubled her for so long was finally solved.
Meanwhile, after the two finished playing,
they went to the living room to wait for news. Chen Yi was fairly calm, but Su Nuan was a little nervous. Even while sitting on the sofa, she had grabbed the corner of Chen Yi's clothes.
Soon!
The message arrived.
It was very simple.
[Manager Wu: Where are you two? If it's convenient, let's meet offline. My name is Wu Qian, and I'm snake's business manager.]
LNG's mid and jungle were pure animals. They had loyally served the nation that very day. Congratulations to them for unlocking the code to return home.
If T1 wins the championship, without these two, T1 wouldn't even dare set the table.
