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.
