Chapter 187: Skipping Class to Play Games

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the seventh, Qianqian had to return to her own university. She would leave in the afternoon as it only took an hour to get from Shanghai to Hangzhou. Luocheng walked her to the station, reluctant to let her go.

Ai, how many times had Luocheng gone to Hangzhou on the same train. He was annoyed at himself for not faring better in his results and obtaining more points. If he had gotten admitted into the Hangzhou University, he would have been able to see Qianqian every day.

Forget it, he’d just have to go to Hangzhou the next holiday or whatever to find her.

***

It was the last day of the holidays and the student body was slowly returning to the campus.

Yang Ying reclaimed his apartment and nudged Luocheng, saying, “You didn’t do anything to my sister, right?”

“Didn’t have the time.” Luocheng replied nonchalantly.

“Shit, as a friend, I’m telling you, if you did anything to my sister...” Yang Ying allowed his sentence to trail off meaningfully.

“I guess I’m fortunate if she doesn’t run off with someone else.” Luocheng smiled bitterly.

Qianqian had the looks and the body, somewhat short-tempered, but also gentle. It was hard to find this type of girl, and even if you did, she was probably a goddess to a lot of people too. To be honest, Luocheng was worried that once she went back to her university, she would be taken in by some other better-looking guy there.

“You can rest assured that you are the only one I recognize as my brother-in-law. All the guys that were after her during high school were sent flying by me. Damn, a bunch of noobs that never even played a single ranked match before and yet they dare to chase my sister!” Yang Ying snorted.

“...”

Luocheng was speechless, Yang Ying chose his brother-in-law based on the strength in LOL as a standard.

“Oh yeah, did you know that the National University League has already begun?” Yang Ying asked.

“Has it?” Luocheng wasn’t overly concerned about this news.

“Of course it has, it started when you were still in your military training.” Yang Ying said. “Shanghai University is one of the top ten in the National University League and can directly enter the semi-finals. I wanted you to come and be our team’s Support but Xiao Jia didn’t agree because he still doesn’t understand your strength.”

“Does that mean I have to show off a little?” Luocheng asked.

The National E-Sports University League was a third seed competition. You shouldn’t underestimate the strength of university students, many of their teams were on par with some professional teams. It was said that a team member of Shanghai Fudan University had the skills to enter the nation’s rank of top ten players.

Many students started playing E-sports when they were in junior high school and they each had a certain strength of their own. After entering university, a lot of them became those students who just sit inside their rooms and played games day in and day out. The time they spent on E-sports was definitely not any less than those professional players.

Initially, the professional competitions didn’t include the National University Leagues, but with the emergence of outstanding players from universities, the National University League was somehow classified as professional, especially the winner of the previous championship—Fudan University.

That particular university seemed to be aiming to produce professional players, as their teams were formed in the professional circle and trounced experienced professional teams. Apart from the eight teams that qualified for LPL, Fudan University’s team was one that had caught the interest of the crowd!

Shanghai University ranked tenth place, and by their standards, that was quite high. Yang Ying’s goal for this time’s National University League was to enter the top eight. The university had started to pay attention to E-sports, and they promised that if they could enter the top eight, they would not only add credits to their results, but also receive incentives from the university as well as upgrade the equipment for the E-sports club.

The E-sports club was managed by Yang Ying, Xiao Jia, and Zheng Jia. The club was well on its way to being the first in trending.

It couldn’t be helped, there were so many people who were interested in LOL to the point that a huge scandal had happened in the university because of it. A lecturer had asked a student to boost him out from Elo hell, and in return, the student would never score below sixty points in the subject taught by that lecturer.

Seriously, such a shameful act!

***

Lin Dong had already begun his search for a place to stay, and they could start training once he had moved all the computer equipment. University activities had picked up and kept Luocheng busy for the moment, making it difficult for him to get a chance to meet the others.

Those guys really knew how to choose a place. It was a small community area which was walking distance from Shanghai University. Luocheng could easily walk over when he had time to spare.

Luocheng had always thought that there weren’t that many courses in university. The fact was that in your first year, you had a lot of classes and it wasn’t much different than high school.

Four classes in the morning, three classes in the afternoon. The only difference was that you didn’t have homework at night.

They said that if your heart didn’t have class, then there wasn’t any class.

The meaning of this saying was that university classes weren’t as little as you thought it was, if you wanted it to be less, the easiest way was to skip classes.

There were also tactics to skipping classes, you needed to know which classes you can skip and which classes you needed to attend and pay attention to. This was how you could obtain the maximum amount of free time in university.

Of course, this was just a saying.

Since Luocheng had decided to turn over a new leaf, he wouldn’t easily give in to the temptation of skipping classes, unless the E-sports club had something urgent and called him... hehe.

Today, Luocheng was thinking about his classes, it was basically a kind of torture to attend these. If you had to compare, it was like being in Summoner’s Rift and the three lanes had been lost in early game. Then you have to deal with the opponents, and at the same time, you can’t help but feel frustrated and think to yourself, ‘Damn, how come I can only surrender at ten minutes and not earlier.’

Luocheng sprawled on his desk in boredom, listening to the lecturer’s words. The group of boys behind him seemed to have found a common topic and had been whispering to each other.

“I joined the E-sports club yesterday, there were a lot of LOL gamers who were pretty girls. There were so many eye candies around.” A guy said, seemingly slightly perverted.

“That’s nothing, I’m a skilled player. Once I showed them what I was capable of, they took me in as a member and I don’t have to pay the club fees.” A triumphant voice said.

“Shit, for real? How many points are you?”

“Hehe.” The guy merely laughed and said nothing, wanting to keep his secret.

“In other words, you can join the club as a member as long as you pay the fees. Being a facilitator is better, you can use the equipment for free, and you periodically receive Q coins to buy skins. Most importantly, you can have direct contact with the beautiful seniors.”

“Oh yeah, do you remember the goddess senior who was recruiting members and facilitators the other day?”

“The one wearing a short skirt with a 36C bust and red hair?” Jingtai immediately asked.

“Yeah yeah, she’s the vice president of the club, I heard she’s at 1,900 rank points. It’s like she really is...”

“A goddess, a real goddess! No further explanation needed!”

For a period of time, the topic shifted from the E-sports club to the beautiful red-headed girl. Luocheng yawned and thought hard, wondering why hadn’t he seen this person around before?

Buzz! Buzz!

Luocheng’s phone vibrated and his attention turned to it instead.

“Luocheng, come to the club room.” Yang Ying said as soon as he picked up.

“I’m in class right now,” Luocheng said quietly into the receiver, his head tucked between his arms to cover the fact that he was on the phone.

“Forget class, just tell the lecturer, he’ll let you go. They already said in the assembly that they’ll let the E-sports club train freely!” Yang Ying said impatiently.

“Are you serious? The university is actually allowing us to skip class to play games?” Luocheng was surprised.

What the flying f*ck, when he was in high school and he skipped class to train in E-sports, it was a big offense. Teachers would scold him, classmates would judge him, and his parents would twist his ears...

How come when he had come to university, he could be ordered to skip class to play games!

“Don’t you know, E-sports competitions have already been labeled to be our country’s ninety-ninth official competitive sports competition. In the future, E-sports may make an appearance in even more influential competitive events.” Ying Yang said. “I’m telling you, every university except for those more toward academic achievements view sports development projects as a priority. For example, basketball, football, swimming, track...if the nation’s universities can obtain rankings in these events, that’s the same as obtaining glory for the universities, you know? Otherwise, why would the universities make such special enrollments?”

“E-sports have started gaining more weight, it’s the nation’s ninety-ninth official competitive sports. All the universities have started paying attention to it and if we have the capability to rank in the top five or top three, even if you don’t take any of the exams in the four years in university, they will still let you graduate with honors.”

“Are you for real?” Luocheng said in shock.

Even if you don’t pass the exam, you could still graduate with honors!

Luocheng recalled that if you wanted to graduate with honors, your results needed to be in the top ten!

“Don’t be retarded, hurry up and come over. If your lecturer doesn’t let you out, I’ll come over and talk to him.” Yang Ying said, irritation starting to seep into his voice.

“...Alright, I’m coming.” Luocheng said, nodding his head.

***

For courtesy’s sake, Luocheng raised his hands, resembling a model student wanting to ask questions on doubts that he had had for a long time.

“Yes, do you have any questions regarding the topic that we’re on right now?” The lecturer—Si Xiu, was about thirty years old, and he pushed his glasses up as he asked.

Luocheng stood up and found all eyes of his classmates on him, this made him feel a little embarrassed, and he was at a loss for words.

“Actually, the E-sports club president called me to go over saying that there’s something important. May I be excused to go?” Luocheng said after a brief pause.

“Oh?” Si Xiu raised his eyebrows and said casually, “Are you a facilitator from the E-sports club? As I recall, the results of the screening and interview of the facilitators will only be out on the fifteenth of this month?”

“I was recruited as a facilitator during the military training by the president himself.” Luocheng explained.

“Oh, so you’ve got someone on the inside. Alright, then you may leave. Class representative, please take notes for this class to pass to him later.” Si Xiu said gently.

Feifei, who was sitting in front, turned to look at Luocheng. She was the class representative and she was puzzled, this guy was skipping class, and yet she needed to take notes for him?

“Okay, thank you, sir.” Luocheng couldn’t take the attention from his classmates anymore and hurriedly left the classroom.

***

Once Luocheng had left, the class burst out in excitement and a lot of chattering started. The excitement came from the group of boys who were previously discussing the E-sports club. Their wide eyes followed Luocheng’s back as he left the room, if they weren’t in class, they would be swearing up a storm right now!

F*ck, this kid actually had someone on the inside!

These people had gone through multiple screenings and interviews, and they barely met the requirements to pass!

Our red-haired goddess!
