Chapter 66: What Have You Been Through?
“What did the club president say?”
“No chance anymore.”
In the afternoon classroom, An Han lay on the desk and sighed with a hopeless look on his face.
It was his first time pretending to be a girl to get close to someone, but he was seen through in one glance. Now he was too embarrassed to show his face in front of Wang Yu again.
And judging from the “favorability decreased” message, the president really dislikes guys who act too feminine.
Long Xing rubbed his temples with a troubled expression. “There are a few people signing up on forum, but their skill is too poor. Even Wang Sheng is not satisfied.”
“At least they can play the match. He’s still being picky…” An Han complained, but then sighed again. “It’s the only match he’ll play. Of course he wants a better result.”
Chen Junjie reminded them, “If there aren’t enough people, then forget it. We can’t even join the match.”
“How about we just give up?” Wang Sheng felt a bit embarrassed about causing trouble for his roommates, and explained, “Wang Yu is really good. If he can’t come, we’ll just get crushed in the game.”
“Give up my ass! We’ve been friends for years!”
An Han instantly sat up straight, speaking with righteous anger.
If you give up, where am I going to find that game console?!
He even searched on the internet, the limited crocodile-skin PS5 has fewer than a hundred units in the world, and the original price is over eight thousand yuan!
Even if he didn’t play it, he could sell that limited edition console for a high price. There’s always some rich guy willing to be the sucker.
An Han grabbed his soft hair in frustration, still unable to think of a solution.
Actually, giving up wouldn’t be a problem. The system task didn’t have any punishment anyway.
But he just couldn’t accept it!
He was the one who pushed Wang Sheng to talk about his worries, so of course he had to help solve the problem.
“How about this, after class I’ll go to the club room again and try talking to Wang Yu one more time?” When An Han lifted his head, an idea finally formed. “Also, does any of you know someone from the esports club? How about asking them to host a CSGO match?”
Many clubs in the school often organize competitions, but for esports there had only been two games in the past two years, Honor of Kings and League of Legends.
“I don’t know anyone there. I’ve never talked to that club.”
Long Xing shook his head, but Wang Sheng said, “I’ll ask my friend if he has the esports club president’s contact.”
“Wouldn’t a club-organized match be too small? What if only two or three teams sign up…”
“I don’t mind.”
Wang Sheng wasn’t picky at all, but An Han suspected a school competition wouldn’t meet the system’s “internet café tournament” requirement.
Forget it. What mattered most was fulfilling Wang Sheng’s wish, not the system reward.
An Han convinced himself, but it hadn’t even been long since that awkward noon encounter with Wang Yu. Going again now… he could already imagine how awkward it would be.
When class ended, it was already six in the evening. The summer evening was still quite bright. The students from military training rushed toward the cafeteria, while An Han, looking worried, walked to a building near the teaching block.
This was the school’s main activities building. On its first floor, many clubs held their activities.
Walking around the building and following the wall, An Han reached the fitness club’s activity room. He tiptoed and peeked inside through the window.
Maybe he arrived too early. He looked around, but didn’t see anyone inside.
“No one’s here…”
An Han finally relaxed, patting his chest as he let out a breath.
Even though he had offered to talk to Wang Yu again, if nothing came out of it, then he would have a good reason to tell Wang Sheng to just find an average teammate online.
He turned around and the relaxed look on his face instantly froze.
Wang Yu was standing not far away, watching him from a distance.
Alright. Fine.
Looks like he couldn’t escape this time.
He jogged over and approached Wang Yu with a forced smile.
“President… I came to work out.”
“You look more like you came to check the place,” Wang Yu glanced at him.
At least in the evening he looked normal. Still wearing a jacket on a hot day and sweating a lot, but he wasn’t acting like a girl the way he did earlier at noon.
His posture was still a little feminine at times, but at least he was holding back now.
Wang Yu’s expression softened a little. As he walked into the building, he asked, “You didn’t used to be this girly.”
“……”
“I asked you to work out before and you refused. Now you act like a woman.”
Just hearing this sensitive topic made An Han angry. He followed behind Wang Yu and lifted his foot to kick him in the butt several times.
But every kick stopped in mid-air. After all, he needed Wang Yu’s help, so he didn’t dare actually kick him hard.
Wang Yu didn’t notice anything. He turned around and said,
“When we first started college, you told me to watch over your training. Now you look annoyed with me.”
“I’m not…” An Han slowly put his raised foot down, looked away with guilt, and flattered him, “I know you’re a good guy and very responsible, but I really do run almost every day.”
“You’re small. Running alone won’t help. You need to combine it with strength training to get stronger.”
I know that… but lifting weights is too tiring…
And even if he really trained now, once the system upgraded his body stats, all the training would be for nothing.
He followed Wang Yu into the activity room. This room wasn’t much different from the real gym outside. All the basic equipment was there, but the space wasn’t big. If every machine had someone using it, it could probably fit fewer than ten people.
Wang Yu went toward the equipment, ready to warm up, when he noticed An Han staring at him with hopeful eyes.
“What?”
“President, your gaming skills seems pretty good, right?”
Wang Yu didn’t answer. He just stared at An Han with a blank face, as if waiting for him to continue his little act.
Feeling embarrassed, An Han touched the back of his head and said again,
“Well… my roommate only wants to play one tournament. But we still can’t find enough teammates…”
“Mm.”
“It’s only one or two days. Just two games.”
“I know Wang Sheng.”
“Huh?” An Han froze.
Wang Yu answered calmly, “Our school’s CSGO players have a group chat. He’s the group admin.”
“Then…”
“He talked to me about this at noon. I’m still thinking about it.”
So Wang Sheng’s words work better than mine?
An Han blinked and asked, “Then… didn’t you say you weren’t interested?”
“I’m not interested. It’s troublesome.” Wang Yu pointed at the equipment. “Go on. Work out.”
“Uh…” An Han looked troubled. “With my thin arms and legs, isn’t it easy for me to get hurt?”
“I’ll watch you.”
Wang Yu walked up beside him and looked him up and down.
No visible muscle at all. Small and thin bones. Hips wide like a girl’s. His arms and legs didn’t show any strength either.
It was like he really was a girl.
Wang Yu couldn’t help asking, “What exactly happened to you?”
“……”
“You have no muscle anywhere. Even your face looks like a woman’s.”
An Han turned away. Just thinking about it made him sad, angry, and frustrated.
How would I know the system would start changing me into a girl?!
