Chapter 164 Coach, I want to play video games
While eating noodles, Qiao Jingjing told Yang Muye some bad news.

She asked all her classmates, and everyone had heard of Bei Weiwei's name, but they didn't know which dormitory she lived in.

Not to mention contact information.

Yang Muyi didn't say anything after hearing this, and continued to eat his noodles with gusto.

After finishing two bowls of noodles in one go, Yang Muye put down his chopsticks with satisfaction.

Qiao Jingjing paid the bill, put on a mask before leaving, and asked Yang Muye what to do next.

Qiao Jingjing asked where to find Bei Weiwei, but Yang Muye asked a completely unexpected question:
How's the internet speed in your school's dorms?

"The free campus network is so slow it's like a snail crawl, and it's not worth it to install broadband in the dorm."

Qiao Jingjing looked at Yang Muye with a puzzled expression: "Why are you asking this?"

Yang Muye nodded.

The situation is roughly as expected.

Or rather, this is the general situation across universities nationwide.

"I already know where to find Bei Weiwei."

"Where to go?"

"cybercafe."

Yang Muye said with certainty.

As a girl addicted to the internet, Bei Weiwei is most likely spending her time in an internet cafe right now... right?

Yang Muye was actually just guessing.

Qiao Jingjing believed her and led Yang Muyi to search for internet cafes near the school one by one.

Upon entering the first internet cafe, before even starting to look for anyone, Yang Muye went to the front desk to ask, then called Qiao Jingjing and said they could leave.

This internet cafe does not have a smoke-free area.

Boys might not care, since they've all had some experience with secondhand smoke in their dorms.

Girls will definitely care about this.

The two then went to a second internet cafe, which was much better than the first one in terms of both decor and environment.

This time, Qiao Jingjing was smarter; she went straight to the front desk as soon as she entered and asked if there was a non-smoking area.

Upon being informed, they were to immediately go inside to find the person.

Yang Muye called the person to a stop.

"Didn't you say you didn't know Bei Weiwei?"

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment.

Right, how can I find someone if I don't even know what Qiao Jingjing looks like?

Yang Muye offered Qiao Jingjing three strategies: the best, the middle, and the worst.

The worst-case scenario is to go into the internet cafe and shout "Bei Weiwei!" to see if anyone responds, but everyone in the internet cafe is wearing headphones, so they probably won't hear you.

The middle strategy was to go around to each girl and ask her if she was Bei Weiwei.

The best course of action is to directly ask the network administrator at the front desk whether Bei Weiwei has been using the computer here.

Qiao Jingjing glared at Yang Muye in annoyance.

Why not just state the best course of action?
As Qiao Jingjing walked toward the front desk, she suddenly turned back.

"What if we still can't find the right person even with the best option?"

Actually, I just wanted to see Yang Muye's embarrassed state when he ran out of ideas.

Yang Muye shrugged and said casually:
"If you don't have one, ask the internet cafe manager to set up a computer for you. Once you're on the computer, take a picture of yourself in the internet cafe with your webcam. Then go to the Dongda Tieba forum, post a message asking for help using your real name. Make sure the title includes the words 'Waiting online, it's urgent.' Then post your photo on the forum. You should get some clues within half an hour."

After listening, Qiao Jingjing turned and walked towards the front desk.

She took off her mask, gave a sweet smile, and easily convinced the internet cafe manager to help her find someone.

The other party used the internet cafe's system to check and actually found a person named Bei Weiwei.

Qiao Jingjing thought that probably no boy would have that name, so she called Yang Muye and they walked together into the internet cafe.

In seat number 87, a long-haired girl wearing headphones was playing a World of Warcraft dungeon.

I'm playing as a giant mage.

A pair of beautiful big eyes were fixed on the screen.

With both hands on the keyboard and mouse, the operation looked very methodical.

Qiao Jingjing was about to step forward and ask.

Yang Muye stopped the person and then gestured towards the girl's computer screen with his lip.

The boss is about to die.

……

Two minutes later, Bei Weiwei freed her hands from the keyboard and mouse and stretched comfortably.

I happened to see a network administrator on patrol passing by.

Bei Weiwei hurriedly took off her headphones and raised her hand.

"Network administrator, I'd like a bottle—"

"Nutritional Express!"

A male voice sounded from behind at the same time.

The network administrator looked at Bei Weiwei and Yang Muye behind her with some difficulty.

Who actually ordered this?
Bei Weiwei turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind her.

Both of them were wearing masks, so their faces were not visible.

The boy was very tall, dressed in a sporty casual outfit, with shorts and Air Jordans, a very common campus look.

He looks slim in his clothes, but judging from the muscle lines on his calves and arms, he definitely looks like a basketball player.

The girl has long hair in a ponytail and a slender figure.

She was estimated to be around 1.7 meters tall, wearing a denim mini skirt, white socks, and white sneakers.

The two looked like a couple who had come to the internet cafe together.

But what puzzled Bei Weiwei was that there were no empty seats nearby.

Unfortunately, the boy ordered the same drink as him.

While he was still hesitating, the boy had already handed the money to the internet cafe manager.

Bei Weiwei hurriedly took out her wallet as well.

"I want one too."

"No need, this bottle is on you."

Bei Weiwei was stunned by the boy's words.

Your girlfriend is standing right there, and you're offering me a drink?

Qiao Jingjing took off her mask, stepped forward, and offered her hand to Bei Weiwei.

"Are you Bei Weiwei, a freshman in the Computer Science Department at Southeast University?"

Upon seeing Qiao Jingjing's face clearly, Bei Weiwei's eyes widened in surprise.

"I know you, you're Qiao Jingjing!"

During the handshake, Qiao Jingjing said earnestly:
"I just became famous by accident. Actually, you're very beautiful too."

Bei Weiwei said a few words of modesty.

She was quite happy to be praised like that by the most beautiful school belle.

After exchanging a few words, Bei Weiwei's gaze shifted to Yang Muye, who was standing next to Qiao Jingjing.

"Who is this?"

“My friend, he came here specifically to see you.”

"Find me?"

Bei Weiwei's eyes widened slightly.

I was just watching the show with a casual, gossipy attitude, but I ended up getting caught up in the drama myself.

"Hello, Yang Muye."

Seeing Yang Muyi offer his hand, Bei Weiwei quickly reached out.

"Hello, Bei Weiwei."

Yang Muye only took off his mask after shaking hands.

Bei Weiwei's pupils dilated in shock. "You're the lead singer of the Barbarian Band!"

Yang Muye was stunned for a moment.

Am I really that famous at Tokyo University?
“I watched the live video of you and Qiao Jingjing singing ‘Want to Go to the Beach’. I was originally going to look for other songs by your band, but there was only that one video.”

Bei Weiwei said with a regretful expression.

Just then, the network administrator brought over drinks.

Despite Bei Weiwei's repeated refusals, the bottle of nutritional drink eventually ended up in her hands.

She unscrewed the cap and took a sip first, then Bei Weiwei asked Yang Muye and Qiao Jingjing what they wanted to see her about.

"I think your skills are quite good."

“Of course, I majored in computer science,” Bei Weiwei replied proudly.

"Your Computer Science Department at Southeast University teaches how to play Warcraft?" Yang Muye asked curiously.

Bei Weiwei was stunned.

You mean gaming skills?

"Actually, I'm just skilled; I'm still far from being a true master," Bei Weiwei said modestly.

Yang Muye turned to look at Qiao Jingjing:
"Looks like skipping class all night to play games does help improve your skills. Why don't you give it a try?"

Bei Weiwei's smile froze instantly.

Did Yang Muyi even know that he jumped out of the window to go to an internet cafe and stayed up all night?

Yang Muyi glanced at Bei Weiwei's computer screen again; most of the players who had teamed up with her had already left the instance.

"Have you finished with your business here?"

"It's over."

Bei Weiwei had originally planned to team up with others to do another game, but she could tell that Yang Muyi and Qiao Jingjing must have something to say when they came to see her.

After getting off the computer, Bei Weiwei left the internet cafe with Yang Muye and Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing went to the milk tea shop next door and bought four cups of fruit tea.

Yang Muye naturally took one of the cups, brought the straw to his lips, and drank directly from it.

They didn't even say thank you.

Seeing this, Bei Weiwei took the initiative to reach out and take the bags of the other two cups from Qiao Jingjing.

She still had her nutritional drinks in her backpack and hadn't finished them yet.

Compared to why Qiao Jingjing bought an extra cup of fruit tea, Bei Weiwei was more curious about the relationship between Qiao Jingjing and Yang Muye.

I felt like the two of them were very familiar with each other, but not in the way I imagined.

Could it be that pure friendship between men and women really exists?
While her mind was wandering, she suddenly heard Yang Muyi say, "Shall we find a place to sit down, or take a walk around your school?"

“Let’s go to school. I’ve arranged to meet Meng Yiran at the gymnasium entrance,” Qiao Jingjing replied.

Bei Weiwei's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

There probably won't be another Meng Yiran at Southeast University.

Two school beauties have arranged to meet; what am I to them?
"By the way, Weiwei, have you heard of the game 'Dream Talk Jianghu'?" Yang Muye suddenly asked.

"know."

Bei Weiwei's eyes lit up immediately at the mention of games.

“I’ve been following this game for a while now, and I even made plans with my roommates to play it together during the National Day holiday.”

Yang Muye asked with a smile, "What, isn't Warcraft fun?"

Bei Weiwei thought Yang Muye was going to bring up her embarrassing story of jumping out of the window to go to an internet cafe for an all-nighter again, and smiled awkwardly.

"It's alright. The main problem is that there are too few female players in World of Warcraft. As soon as they find out I'm a woman, every time I log on, a bunch of people message me, inviting me to run dungeons."

"Isn't this bad?"

"Of course it's bad. Those people kept saying they would carry me through dungeons, but their skills were all terrible. In the end, I ended up carrying them through dungeons. I wanted to team up with skilled players, but as soon as they saw I was a female player, they assumed I was just there to slack off and rejected me without even considering it."

"Why does someone who could rely on their looks choose to rely on their abilities?"

Bei Weiwei was immediately embarrassed by the praise and quickly said that she was just venting.

Yang Muye nodded.

"Looks like you're really addicted to the internet. I bet you studied computer science just so you could play games openly, right?"

Bei Weiwei was stunned again.

Judging from Bei Weiwei's expression, Yang Muye knew he had guessed correctly.

"Does your roommate like playing video games as much as you do?"

"There's only one person I like, and it's because of my influence."

"So you're saying you're pretty short on teammates in the game, I mean female players."

"Yes, that's why I'm looking forward to 'Dream of Jianghu'. The game has exquisite and beautiful graphics, and you can even customize your character's appearance. It should attract a lot of female players, so I won't have to worry about not having female teammates in the game."

"For example, a burly man playing a female character?"

Bei Weiwei was immediately horrified.

As a legitimate female gamer, Bei Weiwei hates cross-dressing accounts even more than male gamers.

"I know four genuine female gamers who are planning to play 'Dream Journey to the Jianghu' together, but unfortunately, their skills are too poor. If you were to help them out, would you be willing?"

"Of course! Skills are developed through practice, and I can teach them how to play step by step."

As soon as Bei Weiwei finished speaking, Yang Muyi turned to look at Qiao Jingjing.

"You know how to address people, right? Just say 'Coach, I want to play games' and let me see if it's standard."

Qiao Jingjing immediately rolled her eyes at her.

Good words, but they take on a different meaning when spoken by Yang Muye.

Seeing this, Bei Weiwei finally realized what was happening.

Could Qiao Jingjing be one of the four female players Yang Muyi mentioned?
Before Bei Weiwei could speak, Yang Muye immediately gave her an approving look.

Congratulations, you got it right!
"Qiao Jingjing, Meng Yiran, and Yang Zixi and Zheng Wei from Sisters Who Make Waves, these are the four teammates I found for you. Coach Weiwei, I'm entrusting these four to you from now on."

Bei Weiwei was struck dumb, standing there stunned.

His eyes were wide open, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"The pig farm wanted to find five girls to serve as game experience officers for 'Dream Talk Jianghu'. They first found Qiao Jingjing, then they found Sisters Who Make Waves. Finally, they were still short two people, so Qiao Jingjing recommended Meng Yiran and you to me."

As soon as Yang Muyi finished explaining, Bei Weiwei shook her head repeatedly.

"Jingjing and Meng Yiran are both recognized as campus beauties at our Dongda University, so I'll pass."

"But you're a good player."

"Can--"

Before Bei Weiwei could finish speaking, Yang Muye interrupted her.

"Would you like four stunningly beautiful school beauties as teammates?"

"All kinds of items and equipment in the game are given away for free, and all expenses in the game are paid by the game company. Do you want to take advantage of NetEase?"

"A signing bonus of 200,000 yuan per person, plus a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, a six-month contract. You can make money while playing games, want to give it a try?"

"If we can secure the advertising sponsorship for Nutrition Express, not only will we have unlimited drinks, but we might also be able to land an advertising endorsement."

After finishing his sentence in one breath, Yang Muyi looked at the stunned Bei Weiwei with a serious expression.

What do you think?

The next second, Bei Weiwei happily jumped up on the spot.

willing!

Of course she was willing!

Facing the excited Bei Weiwei, Yang Muyi turned to look at Qiao Jingjing beside him:
"When I meet Meng Yiran later, what do you think the chances are that I'll be able to persuade him with the same words?"

"I don't know if Meng Yiran likes playing games, but it's true that she likes playing the flute."

After saying that, Qiao Jingjing added, "Meng Yiran's family is very well-off. Instead of talking to her about money, you should talk more about music."

"I haven't been exposed to much folk music, but I'm more familiar with traditional Chinese music—"

At this point, Yang Muyi suddenly stopped.

Isn't Meng Yiran's face the chosen one of the Chinese style holy bodies?
Although the Chinese style music scene is still nonexistent, the once-popular Twelve Girls Band has been gradually declining in the past two years.

But pairing traditional Chinese clothing with ethnic musical instruments for performance is something that no one in the online influencer circle has done before.

Meng Yiran might be a good "guinea pig".
