Female Player? Holy Crap!

Before the two of them arrived, Manager Wu had already considered many possible situations.

But she had never imagined this one.

Not even...

For a moment, she wondered if she was dreaming. But after realizing that the people who had arrived were indeed one man and one woman, her brain had already begun to give up thinking.

With an utterly calm expression, she said, "Did you two come to the wrong private room?"

Su Nuan: "???"

Chen Yi waved his hand and said, "No, no, no! We're in the right place. Hello! We're the bot-lane duo we arranged to meet. Please take care of us from now on."

"!!!!"

At that moment, Manager Wu had no idea what expression to make.

Should she cry?

Or laugh?

In the end, she could only speak helplessly. "Have a seat first. I didn't expect there to be a female player. That really caught me off guard. By the way, where's the person who introduced you?"

"There was no one who introduced us!"

"???"

"If I really have to name someone, then I'm the introducer. I was the one who contacted you. I know what you're thinking—is it because she's a female player?"

The moment he entered and saw the expression on Manager Wu's face,

Chen Yi knew what was going on.

He had rehearsed this situation in advance, so it was within his ability to handle. When Manager Wu nodded, Su Nuan's face also filled with worry.

A terrifying thought appeared in her mind. What if they refuse to let me join the team because I'm a woman?

Did esports discriminate against women?

No!

Esports only discriminated against bad players. As long as you played well, even if you were gay, a club would still let you join. But you had to prepare for the worst.

Su Nuan had read the news. A player had once said in an interview that there were no female players in the LPL because having one on the team would make things difficult to handle.

What about showering and using the bathroom?

All of that meant extra costs.

So what if Snake refused to take her because of this?

Fear!

Worry!

Anxiety!

All kinds of emotions gathered together. She instinctively sought out someone to rely on, and that person was naturally Chen Yi. She tugged on Chen Yi's sleeve.

The thoughts in her heart were already written all over her face.

Chen Yi immediately took Su Nuan's slender hand. He could feel that it was already sweaty. For an eighteen-year-old girl,

being in an unfamiliar place, meeting an unfamiliar person, and taking on an unfamiliar job—

it was perfectly normal for her to react this way.

Su Nuan also felt Chen Yi's movement. An unnatural look appeared on her face, along with a hint of shyness and a little helplessness.

Just as she was about to let go,

she noticed that Chen Yi was writing on her hand.

Stroke by stroke.

The strokes came together to form the words: Don't be afraid.

At that moment, Su Nuan felt a little regretful. He's worried about me. Why was I thinking about all that nonsense?

[Ping!]

[Strategy Progress increased!]

30%→31%!

Woohoo!

An unexpected gain.

Chen Yi continued, "Actually, you don't need to worry about this. Being a female player will indeed cause a series of problems, but the benefits it brings are greater than the problems."

"What do you mean?"

"Among streamers with the same level of skill, who's more popular, a female streamer or a male streamer?"

"Isn't that obvious? A female streamer, of course. Take A Yi, that match-fixing streamer, for example. To be honest, her skills were only so-so, but because she was a high-level female player, her discussion volume was through the roof."

"But what if it isn't a female streamer, but a female player?"

"!!!!"

At that moment, Manager Wu's eyes lit up.

That was right!

After they came in, she had been thinking about the disadvantages of having a female player join the team. There were questions about daily life, such as how they would handle using the bathroom and taking showers.

What about their normal lives?

Four shut-in men and one beautiful girl—how were they supposed to get along?

But after hearing Chen Yi's words, Manager Wu felt as though he had opened the door to a whole new world. Aside from results, what did a team need most?

Traffic!

In this era when traffic was king, whoever controlled the traffic could gallop ahead.

A Yi!

That match-fixing streamer had become number one on the streamer rankings in only a few months.

Now there was a player here who was even more impressive than her.

The opportunity was right in front of them. Why wouldn't they seize it?

Besides, Snake had plenty of female employees. The manager was a woman, the team leader was a woman, and the team doctor and nutritionist were women too. What problem would one more female team member cause?

She immediately said, "I understand. You two eat first. I'm going to make a call. You must wait for me to come back, understood?"

"Okay!"

After Chen Yi nodded, Manager Wu left.

When she closed the door, she even specifically instructed the server waiting outside to keep an eye on the two of them and stop them from leaving. Then she called her superior.

"Well... the players are here, but there's something special about them. They're a couple..."

While she was on the phone, Chen Yi continued eating and drinking as usual.

He also served Su Nuan some food and said, "Eat more. Look at how thin you are. That won't do. You need to put on a little more flesh. You'll look even better then."

"I..."

If this had been before, Su Nuan would definitely have argued back.

I'm not going to gain weight.

But she had no mind for that now. Her face was full of worry as she asked, "There won't be a problem, will there?"

"What problem could there be? The moment she went out to make a call, it meant that things were already eighty or ninety percent successful. If she didn't want us, she could have made the call right here and simply gone through the motions. She wouldn't have gone outside to call."

"What if she uses the call as an excuse to run away?"

"Her car keys are here. How could she run? Don't worry. Even if Snake doesn't want us, we still have a backup plan. The initiative is in our hands, so don't panic."

"But..."

Su Nuan was about to say something else, but Chen Yi suddenly tapped her between the eyebrows and said, "Little girl, don't frown all the time. You'll get wrinkles when you're older."

That was what he said, but she still had to worry.

What if she really leaves?

But fortunately!

After less than two minutes, she returned.

Seeing the state of the two of them, Manager Wu completely changed her attitude from before. Her face was covered in smiles as she asked, "How do you feel about the food?"

"It was pretty good!"

"It's still early. If you're willing, would you like to come with me to visit our League of Legends division? You can get an idea of the place where you'll be working in the future. What do you think? Would you like to come?"

A new week has begun—please vote for me, and I'll post a picture too!
