Ding! One-Sword-Throat-Severing's dog food points +0.1 Steel Science-and-Engineering Man's dog food points +0.2! Writing 20,000 Words a Day Is Easy's dog food points +0.3!
Swish, swish, swish!
The rows of numbers appeared one after another, and Chen Yi nodded slightly at them.
Not bad!
There weren't many numbers, but there were quite a lot of them.
Moreover, Chen Yi had an idea. If the livestream chat was already like this, then once they got onto the stage, would there be even more? At that thought,
he nodded slightly.
At the same time...
More of the system's notifications appeared in Chen Yi's mind.
Ding! Host data updated! Name: Chen Yi Mechanics: 78→79 Control: 79→80 Awareness: 76→77 Reaction: 77→78 Bound Unit: Su Nuan Mechanics: 71→73 Control: 70→71 Awareness: 73→75 Reaction: 72→72
Woohoo!
The numbers had increased somewhat. The two of them were talented players to begin with, so it was perfectly normal for all their attributes to improve after undergoing systematic training.
However, the important thing wasn't their basic strength.
It was the amplification!
Strategy Progress: 33% Strength Amplification: 33% Name: Chen Yi Mechanics: 79+26 (105) Control: 80+26 (106) Awareness: 77+25 (102) Reaction: 78+25 (103) Strength Assessment: World class→Champion level Note: World-class strength, as the name implied, meant having the strength to qualify for world-class competitions, while champion-level strength meant having the qualifications to contend for the championship throne!
Good grief!
Looking at his own stats, Chen Yi couldn't help clicking his tongue in amazement.
Contend for the championship throne.
That was pretty impressive.
After all, there was only one champion.
Yet thinking about it carefully, perhaps this still wasn't enough, because this only meant he had the qualifications to contend for the throne. Whether he could actually claim it was impossible to say.
After all, no one could guarantee a person's limits.
Forget UZI and The Director.
Take the Demon King, Faker, for example—a three-time champion!
No one knew where his limits truly lay.
So Chen Yi had to work hard. Was this about strategy?
No!
This was about helping her fulfill her dream, so what was wrong with making a little contribution?
Ahem, ahem, ahem!
Chen Yi coughed dryly and organized the rest of the data.
For example, the dog food points.
There were only a little over two hundred, but that wasn't a major problem. After checking the time, he felt it was about time to prepare a late-night snack, but just after he left the room,
he found someone already outside.
And who else could it be besides Su Nuan?
"You're out? Have something to eat!"
"(⊙o⊙)..."
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Su Nuan to be there.
"What are you looking at?"
"A beauty!"
"You..."
Hearing that, Su Nuan's face turned pale, then flushed red.
What was he saying?
She had just raised the spatula in her hand when Chen Yi coughed dryly and said, "I was actually planning to cook. I didn't expect you to get there first. Really, you could have left this to me."
"I can't let you take care of me all the time, can I? I'm not some shameless girl. I should at least do something."
"Yes!"
Since she had put it that way, Chen Yi naturally had nothing to say.
He just had to wait for the food.
At the same time, he went to look at the latest news and gossip. Some male celebrity had cheated, or some female celebrity had gone into prostitution—in short, there was all kinds of sensational gossip.
There were also some esports-related topics.
At this time, the rosters of many teams had already been finalized. Only one team was still an exception.
That was Snake.
People on the forums were discussing this topic too.
[Who's Snake's bot laner?]
[Have they finalized it yet?]
[I feel like they'll probably promote someone from their secondary team, right? A lot of teams do that.]
[A lot of teams do, but Snake hasn't been established for long. Their youth system isn't as good as other teams'. Can their players really make it?]
[...]
Just as the comments fell into a deadlock, a message appeared.
[I know who's joining Snake!]
[Don't mess with me, buddy!]
[Who?]
And then...
A video from Chen Yi's livestream was uploaded. As for which segment it was, naturally it was the part where he said he was going to Snake to compete.
[Seriously?]
[I saw it with my own eyes. Of course it's true.]
[Isn't this guy a streamer?]
[Judging by his popularity, he's just a small streamer with no following. Why should we believe him?]
[It can't be that bad, right? What benefit would he get from lying like this?]
[Who knows? A streamer's standards can be pretty low. Maybe tomorrow he'll tell you, "I failed the application."]
[What if it's true?]
[How could it be true? Do you think going pro is that easy? And aren't you being too naive? You'll believe anything someone says?]
[But...]
[No buts. If this is true, I'll abstain from sex for a year.]
[A year is too short! Two years!]
[Two years? I'll do five!]
And so the discussion went completely off track. Some people even made grand vows lasting a lifetime. Looking at the contents, Chen Yi had no idea what expression to make.
Sometimes, you really shouldn't say things carelessly.
What if it was true?
Heaven had the virtue of cherishing life. What would you do if your vows actually came true?
ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh!
Chen Yi couldn't help sighing. Just as he shook his head, Su Nuan had already finished making the late-night snack: a bowl of light white congee, along with some pickles.
"Don't eat anything too greasy this late at night. The weather's rather cold right now, so have some congee to warm your stomach."
"Okay!"
Chen Yi naturally didn't refuse. Having some congee late at night really did feel nice. His whole body felt warm and comfortable, and he even felt as though he was beginning to sweat.
He had to admit, being taken care of really felt great!
"Your cooking is excellent. It'd be great if things could always be like this."
"Keep dreaming!"
Su Nuan rolled her eyes at Chen Yi and said, "Treasure the present. Once I join Snake, I'll be sleeping in the dormitory. By then, you won't even get to eat this."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Chen Yi nodded as well. Some things didn't need to be rushed.
One meal was nice, but Chen Yi wanted to eat this for the rest of his life, so there was no need to hurry. Even if Su Nuan really moved to Snake, so what?
She couldn't stay at Snake forever.
She would come back eventually.
Then it would be his home turf. At that thought, Chen Yi nodded, and seeing him like that, Su Nuan grew somewhat puzzled and said:
"What are you thinking about? You look so sinister when you smile."
"Nothing, nothing. You're overthinking it."
"Really?"
"Of course! I'm a perfectly decent man!"
"..."
Su Nuan thought for a few seconds and ultimately chose to nod.
Facts spoke louder than words. After spending so many days together, Chen Yi hadn't shown the slightest impropriety. Whether in the way he conducted himself or in the way they interacted,
he always gave Su Nuan a very comfortable feeling.
So she was certain that Chen Yi really was a decent man!
Unfortunately, she was wrong.
Completely wrong.
Because this so-called decent man was currently thinking nonstop about how to trick her into becoming his wife.
