Compared to Chen Yusheng, Liu Chenyang's reaction was much shyer; she covered her face and ran away.
A moment later, when she returned, she inexplicably seemed much more energized, and the way she looked at Su Bai grew increasingly tender and affectionate.
Hmm... it seems this form of team building is quite effective after all, Su Bai thought to himself.
He didn't guess what Yangyang had run off to do just now. Su Bai's understanding of Yangyang's hidden traits was still not profound enough.
"Fully revived! Let's go play tennis!" Su Bai said with full enthusiasm. "Speaking of which, tennis could probably serve as a regular team-building activity for our group. It seems like almost everyone knows how to play... Xia and Yangyang are both experts."
"A regular activity? Sounds so tiring, having to run back and forth," Chen Yusheng muttered.
Su Bai patted her with a grin and teased, "You're already feeling tired before you've even started running. Looks like you haven't trained enough."
"Shut up, you loser at my feet~"
Chen Yusheng looked very smug.
What is there to be smug about regarding something like that, I'd like to ask? Su Bai found it hilarious, but decided to let her be smug for a while.
...
Overall, tennis is a sport that emphasizes the aesthetics of violence. Although many people in the country consider it a relatively prestigious sport, in reality, brute force outweighs technique, and the barrier to entry is quite high.
It's not like badminton, which is accessible to everyone and where anyone of any skill level can step up and play a few rallies.
Chen Yusheng quickly and astutely realized that if she seriously practiced with Yangyang, she probably wouldn't have the chance to practice on Su Bai tonight.
She decisively started slacking off, sitting herself down in the referee's chair by the side of the court, holding her phone and watching them play.
The tennis referee's chair was quite high. Watching those long pantyhose-clad legs in sneakers dangling and swinging from a distance was simply too enjoyable.
Do you guys have such a cute referee, I'd like to ask?
...
Over an hour later.
"Phew... phew, that's about enough, I'm getting a little tired," Liu Chenyang said, panting. "How about we stop here for now? Hmm... Su Bai, you're improving so fast. I feel like I'm about to lose to you."
If I brought out the killer tennis power I used when playing against uncle Bai Feili, you wouldn't have been able to beat me long ago. Heh heh, foolish Yangyang!
Su Bai grumbled inwardly, but nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go take a shower."
Saying that, he dropped his tennis racket, grabbed Yangyang's hand, and ran toward the locker room.
"What about me?" Chen Yusheng's voice drifted over from behind.
"You wait outside. Why should you get to shower when you didn't even participate in the training?"
"..."
Damn it, manipulated by the Big White Goose once again!
...
...
...
"Don't panic, it's just a technical adjustment."
Chen Yusheng interrupted with a straight face, though the corners of her mouth were already twitching, struggling to keep up the act.
...
Sure enough, the girls were dying of envy, clamoring that Brother Su Bai shouldn't play favorites.
Su Bai took the opportunity to urge them to work out and improve their physical stamina.
Grind, all of you better start grinding.
[Ding! S-Class Goddess Chen Yusheng detected. Affection +1. Reward: Lottery Draw x1]
Huh?
Su Bai's eyes instantly lit up with fiery intensity. Shengsheng's affection level had maxed out a long time ago. Trying to increase it further was extremely difficult.
According to the system, he had to unearth hidden emotional triggers to further increase it past the maxed-out affection level.
In theory, there was no upper limit to the affection level, but that was merely a theory. In reality, it was incredibly hard to farm. Therefore, Su Bai hadn't deliberately obsessed over it; after all, he and Shengsheng were already practically glued at the hip.
He never expected to accidentally trigger an extra increase after hitting the max level.
Su Bai looked down at the two incredibly beautiful young women in front of him, falling deep into thought.
...
Just according to plan!
...
Meanwhile, in the clubroom of the Jiangcheng University Anime Club.
Several club members were gathered inside, drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting.
The clubroom's equipment had recently undergone a comprehensive upgrade. Su Bai had even provided them with a few computers.
At twenty thousand yuan apiece, they boasted high-end gaming specs. This amount of money was nothing to Su Bai, but spending it on the Anime Club was truly enough to make all the otaku boys and girls worship him as their godfather.
Whenever the club members had free time, they could come to the clubroom to team up for gaming.
To be honest, most students were actually reluctant to splurge on top-tier computer specs. This was evident from the hardware statistics on the Steam platform.
The majority of players used standard, mid-range graphics cards, meaning their entire setups only cost a few thousand yuan.
Some students from other clubs joked that the Anime Club could open its own internet cafe.
Tonight, the seats in front of the computers were full, and a few others were huddled to the side, chatting and playing mobile games.
Around the time of midterms, there weren't just exams, but also deadlines for project presentations.
The period from late November right up until Christmas was considered a relatively relaxed time for the students of Jiangcheng University.
"Holy crap, wait, the official account for Bang Bang Dungeon just posted an announcement! It says they secured a major investment and can continue the project."
A girl who was playing a mobile game suddenly let out a weird shriek, hyped as hell.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
