Main Quest issued: Qualify for the playoffs! Reward: Unknown
(⊙o⊙)...?
That's it?
However, that wasn't all.
Chen Yi discovered that there was another option below.
Easter egg triggered: The quest reward will be calculated according to the points ranking. The higher the points ranking, the more generous the reward. Please work hard, host!
"!!!"
There was actually a rule like that?
He thought about this reward, as well as the previous one.
The difference was indeed huge.
He immediately nodded.
This quest... I'll take it.
As the voice faded away, Chen Yi gradually fell asleep.
The next day!
Chen Yi began his daily workout as well. He knew perfectly well that if a professional player wanted to extend his career, having a good physique was of paramount importance.
Daily exercise was indispensable.
However, when he arrived at the gym, he found that someone had already gotten there.
Who else could it be besides Su Nuan?
Seeing her, Chen Yi felt somewhat curious. Others might not know, but Chen Yi knew very well that this person had only a few hobbies.
Eating!
Drinking!
Playing games.
Exercise?
She needed someone to drag her along.
Yet she had actually come over of her own accord this time. The sun must have risen in the west.
"Why are you here so early this time?"
"╭(╯^╰)╮"
Su Nuan let out a cold snort without saying anything.
She kept up that attitude for the entire morning. At first... Chen Yi wondered if she was on her period.
But that didn't make sense!
Her last period had been only three days ago. It had only been a few days, so this shouldn't be happening. But soon, Chen Yi seemed to understand what was going on.
After finishing several sets of exercises, Su Nuan lingered by the scale for a long time.
She kept adjusting her posture!
Unfortunately, the number on it still didn't change much.
The reason?
Naturally, it was because... she had gotten fat.
Perhaps this was a girl's anxiety about her weight. The same was true for Su Nuan. Chen Yi immediately asked, "Did you gain weight?"
"!!!"
Su Nuan turned around in horror, her face filled with disbelief.
Her eyes seemed to be questioning Chen Yi.
How did you know?
It was obvious.
Chen Yi cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry so much. It's getting colder! To resist the cold, people store a large amount of energy, which means they gain weight. Don't worry. You'll lose it again in summer."
"Really?"
Chen Yi spoke with utmost seriousness. "When have I ever lied to you?"
"(ˉ▽ ̄~)Tsk~~ I don't believe you."
You don't believe me?
No!
It was the classic case of her mouth saying one thing while her body honestly revealed another. The delighted expression between her brows had already completely exposed Su Nuan's thoughts. Chen Yi could only helplessly accept it.
Not a single word she says is true.
But it didn't matter.
He was the same. The whole thing about storing energy was nonsense. He simply felt that Su Nuan looked better with a little more flesh on her. That way, whether he held her or touched her, she would be more comfortable.
Of course!
Just a little more flesh. Everything had to be kept in moderation.
After her mood improved, Su Nuan's view of the world changed as well. In particular, when she watched Chen Yi doing weighted squats, she suddenly felt that he looked much more handsome.
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
After taking her eyes away, Su Nuan realized something and hastily looked away. Chen Yi naturally knew what had happened, and all he could say was—
ε=(ο`*)))Sigh!
His damn charm.
The atmosphere became awkward. No one spoke, and no one looked for a topic.
In the end, Chen Yi spoke first. "You..."
"Ah!"
After he said only one word, Su Nuan jumped like a startled rabbit.
She nearly leaped into the air.
"What?"
"I just wanted to ask, how's your appetite?"
"Much better. I can't eat too much anymore. Really..."
Wasn't that obvious?
Overeating wasn't good for the body. Soon, the two of them found themselves chatting about this and that again. After Chen Yi finished another set of exercises, Su Nuan handed him a bottle.
"Here, water!"
"Thanks!"
Exercise was good, but it was a little tiring.
Su Nuan then asked with some puzzlement, "By the way, why do you like doing weighted squats so much?"
"Huh?"
"I've read a lot of fitness articles. They say men like training their upper bodies, while women like training their legs. Why are you the opposite?"
"This..."
Chen Yi scratched his head and unconsciously sank into thought.
He was rather conflicted.
How was he supposed to answer this?
"What is that expression? If you have something to say, spit it out."
"Right! That's exactly it."
"What is?"
"Look, in wuxia films, training always starts with horse stance. What I'm doing is the fitness version of horse stance, so that's why."
"???"
Su Nuan was a little suspicious of whether that was true, but after thinking about it, it did seem to make sense.
She immediately said, "All right! I'll go shower first. We'll meet in the training hall later. We have a scrim this morning, and we still have to go to the competition in the afternoon."
"Okay!"
Su Nuan left.
Chen Yi let out a sigh of relief. As for why he did squats...
He could only say that it was for his future life.
At least from a man's perspective, doing fifty to a hundred squats every day could help him regain his confidence.
Right!
That's exactly it.
Su Nuan went to shower, and Chen Yi did the same.
As for whether working out in the morning would affect the match, it wouldn't. The two of them knew exactly what they were doing, so they always kept everything within reasonable limits.
When the two of them arrived at the training hall, everyone there...
Their expressions became strange as well.
How should he put it?
These two were inseparable at all times except when sleeping. If everyone hadn't known that they had gone to the gym...
Judging by their appearance, their entire bodies were wet.
They had just showered.
That left an awful lot to the imagination. Fortunately... everyone knew what had happened, so Jun spoke up. "Hurry over and train. Our next match is against LGD..."
"Okay!"
Training continued!
As for snake, the team was also frequently trending online.
snake!
A team that had debuted in S5, they had been the strongest dark horse of that year.
But in the end, they were still only a dark horse.
They had no real results. Then, after the S6 Bo10 appeared, many people felt that this team was finished. However, once the matches began...
Finished?
Finished with what?
They swept everyone aside!
[LGD wasn't a match for them at all!]
[IM got swept too. They were last year's third seed, but they look so weak against snake!]
[It's not that IM is weak. It's that snake's bottom lane is too strong.]
[Terrifying!]
[I wonder how they'll do against IG tomorrow? They should be able to win, right?]
Win?
Not a chance!
Actually, IG that year wasn't bad, but unfortunately... they weren't at full strength yet.
Top lane, mid lane, and support.
They were all decent!
But as for the bottom lane and jungler—well, the mid laner, KID, the man who had created 443, the lowest damage record in the LPL, was directly crushed in tempo by sofm.
When the match ended, the commentators' voices echoed throughout the venue.
"Congratulations to snake for defeating IG and securing another victory in the first round of the group stage. They have also created the strongest winning streak of the year. If they can defeat tomorrow's opponent, RNG—"
"Then they will take the first round of the group stage with a perfect record."
"Let's wait and see."
They had won the match!
That was certainly good news.
However, when Chen Yi heard who tomorrow's opponent would be, a gloomy look appeared on his face.
RNG!
He hadn't expected to run into them here.
He had only two goals in the professional scene!
The first!
To fulfill Su Nuan's dream and become the first female LPL champion.
The second!
To play against RNG. If he could beat that dog while playing against RNG, that would be even better.
