The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 230 Be confident, this is how you get something for free!
"By the way, there's one more thing."

Hao Mei, who was about to go and report the good news to Xiao Nai and the other two, suddenly turned around again.

"The players on our team are all from the computer science department. None of us are professional athletes. Playing basketball is just a hobby for us. Winning or losing isn't important. It's all about the atmosphere of playing together... You know what I mean?"

Yang Muye shrugged.

"Isn't it just banning heroes?"

Hao Mei was stunned for a moment.

"Right, right, what I mean is we should just have a friendly match on the basketball court. Friendship first, competition second. Let's just find a few friends or acquaintances we play with regularly and play the whole game. There's no need to hire any professional foreign players. What do you think?"

"Sure, but I have one request. I want to film an advertisement at the game, and some of the players on the field may appear in the video. I need to let you know."

Hao Mei frowned: "Free extras?"

"Correct."

"May I ask what type of advertisement you want to shoot?"

"The game advertisement for 'Dreaming of Jianghu' features three female protagonists: Qiao Jingjing, Bei Weiwei, and Meng Yiran from Dongda University, as well as two girls from Yanjingmao University. However, only the three of them, Qiao Jingjing, Bei Weiwei, and Meng Yiran, were present at the ball game."

Hao Mei's eyes lit up when he heard the words "Dreaming of Jianghu".

“Okay, we play this game too, consider it free advertising for the game.”

After making the agreement with Yang Muyi, Hao Mei excitedly returned to Xiao Nai and the other two and told them the terms they had just agreed on.

After listening, Yu Banshan looked at Qiu Yonghou and Xiao Nai with a puzzled expression: "Why does it feel like we've been taken advantage of?"

Qiu Yonghou pursed his lips: "You can be more confident and remove your feelings."

Hao Mei frowned and said, "What should we do then? I've already agreed with him, and if he goes back on his word now—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Nai's voice rang out.

"They're using an open strategy, there's no way to counter it. Even if we don't go after them, they'll come after us."

It was Qiu Yonghou and two others who took the initiative to challenge them, and there is video evidence to prove it.

There's no way I can avoid this game.

If you think of a football match as a plate of dumplings, then shooting an advertisement for "Dreaming of Jianghu" is like having a dish of vinegar.

Others made this plate of dumplings because of this dish of vinegar.

Yang Muye got the dumplings for free just because of the vinegar.

The only difference is that Yang Muye's original plan was to bring Xiao Nai and the other three to Yanjingmao to play this match.

Now that Yang Muyi is an exchange student at Southeast University, the competition venue can only be held at Southeast University.

Correspondingly, the scripts for each person should be swapped during the filming of game commercials.

The original plot was that Qiao Jingjing, Bei Weiwei, and Meng Yiran were playing "Dream of Jianghu" in an internet cafe in Shanghai.

Meanwhile, Yang Zixi and Zheng Wei watched a basketball game in the gymnasium of Yanjing School.

In the heat of the game, Yang Zixi and Zheng Wei suddenly received a phone call from Qiao Jingjing and two others.

They encountered a formidable boss in the wild and called for their teammates to log in.

Yang Zixi and Zheng Wei rushed to the internet cafe, logged on, and together they defeated the BOSS.

The two then rushed back to the stadium, just in time to see their team win.

In the advertisement, five women will cosplay their respective game characters and show off their ancient costume looks.

Now the game is scheduled to be held at the Dongda Gymnasium, and the plot changes to Qiao Jingjing and her two friends watching the game. Yang Zixi and Zheng Wei encounter a BOSS while playing games at an internet cafe and call on Qiao Jingjing and her two friends to come online and fight the BOSS.

It's just a matter of the two sides swapping scripts; the impact isn't significant.

That noon, the news that Xiao Nai would be leading a team to challenge Yang Muye was announced on the Dongda Tieba forum.

The poster is Cao Guang.

He also used the alternate account of the junior moderator to pin and feature his own posts.

On the school's intranet, Qiao Jingjing, Bei Weiwei, and Meng Yiran all forwarded the post, inviting all the students to come to the stadium to watch the game.

Yang Muye and Xu Sanduo had lunch at the Dongda cafeteria and then returned to room 3602.

After logging into QQ, Yang Muye first sent a message to Qiao Jingjing.

"I need a strong foreign player for Saturday's game."

Qiao Jingjing happened to be online and immediately sent a string of question marks.

Why are you telling me if you need to find outside help?
"Xiao Nai and I agreed that we couldn't hire athletes as foreign players, so I wanted to ask if you know anyone who is exceptionally good at basketball."

Qiao Jingjing replied to the message immediately:
"Are you asking the wrong person?"

"You asked the right question. Think about it again."

Qiao Jingjing was about to type a reply at the computer when she suddenly stopped.

"You mean Yu Tu?"

"So what if you confessed your feelings and got rejected? You're not still holding a grudge, are you?"

Upon seeing the message from Yang Muye, Qiao Jingjing suddenly felt like hitting someone.

She started typing, her fingers striking the keyboard hard, making a loud clattering sound, as if she were deliberately venting her frustration.

"I had already let it go, but you're rubbing salt into my wounds again. I'm not familiar with Yu Tu, so you should ask someone else for this favor!"

After sending the message, Qiao Jingjing closed the chat window.

Yang Muye did not send any more messages.

Qiao Jingjing suddenly regretted it. Had she said something too harsh?

Actually, it wouldn't be a problem to ask her to help contact Yu Tu, but I'm worried that Xia Qing might misunderstand.

Just as I was thinking this, a new message appeared in the online farming group.

Qiao Jingjing immediately clicked on it, thinking that someone's farm crops had ripened, but it turned out to be Yang Muye speaking in the group.

Pastoral Song of the Fields: "@Xia Qing, are you free to come to Shanghai this Saturday? Food and accommodation included, round-trip airfare reimbursed."

Xia Qing: "???"

Pastoral Song of the Fields: "If you're worried, you can bring your boyfriend along too."

Xia Qing: "@Everyone, has Yang Muye's account been hacked?"

Qiao Jingjing: "@Xia Qing, don't fall for it, he's trying to trick you!"

Xia Qing: "What exactly happened?"

Qiao Jingjing: "When Yang Muye came to Dongda last time, he played a game with Xiao Nai's roommate, the school's heartthrob, and won. Now Xiao Nai and his friends want to get revenge and challenge Yang Muye to a game on Saturday."

Xia Qing: "I heard Zi Xi mention this before. It seems you guys are going to use this competition to shoot a game commercial, right?"

Qiao Jingjing: "Yes, but Yang Muye's side hasn't gathered enough people yet, and they're looking for outside help everywhere."

Xia Qing: "..."

Pastoral Song of the Fields: "@Xia Qing, don't worry, I'll just borrow Yu Tu for one match, and I'll definitely return him to you safe and sound."

Upon hearing Yang Muyi mention Yu Tu's name, Qiao Jingjing stopped speaking in the group chat to avoid suspicion.

Xia Qing hesitated for a long time before giving Yang Muye an answer.

She will talk to Yu Tu about this, but there's no guarantee that Yu Tu will agree.

"Thanks!"

After sending the message, Yang Muye closed the group chat.

It seems like Yu Tu has it all figured out.

Xia Qing will definitely try her best to persuade Yu Tu to play this game at Dongda University, and also take the opportunity to assert her dominance in front of Qiao Jingjing.

Yu Tu VS Xiao Nai.

In this version clash, it all comes down to whose protagonist's aura is stronger.

With myself and Yu Tu as the main players on the field, that's enough.

Yang Muye decided to leave the task of finding replacements for the remaining players to Cao Guang.

Just then, the phone that was lying to the side rang.

The call was from Cao Guang.

After picking up the phone and the call connected, Cao Guang spoke first on the other end.

How did you come to know Zhang Sheng, the young master from Wanli Academy?

Yang Muye held up his phone, raising an eyebrow. "Met at the bar, what's up?"

He asked me for your contact information, but I only gave him my QQ number.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yang Muyi received a friend request on his QQ account.

The username is: Young and impetuous.

Even his signature is Liu Huaqiang's famous quote: "If you're not spirited, are you even a young person?"

Zhang Sheng's online name is quite fitting for his personality.

Yang Muyi had just clicked "accept" to add Zhang Sheng as a friend when Zhang Sheng immediately sent him a message.

"Hey bro, can you take me to the game on Saturday? I can play point guard, I have good awareness, I know how to team up, and I'm good at driving and passing, and pick and roll."

Looking at the message from Zhang Sheng, Yang Muye told Cao Guang on his phone:

"Zhang Sheng added me; he wants to join our team on Saturday."

"I knew it was this. This kid is notorious for showing off. I don't know about his ball skills, but he's a decent person."

"Okay, I'll talk to him first."

Putting down his phone, Yang Muye began typing a reply to Zhang Sheng.

"You're quite well-informed, aren't you?"

"Isn't that right?"

Zhang Sheng replied instantly: "I also know that you and Xiao Nai agreed that neither of you are allowed to find foreign players who are athletes. This kind of competition is more challenging."

"You have so much confidence in me, aren't you afraid of losing?"

"Didn't we already have a friendly spar at the bar last time? I'm not one to easily admit defeat to anyone, but you're an exception. I've wanted to work with a master like you for a long time."

"Okay, count you in for Saturday's game."

yeah!
In front of his computer in the dormitory, Zhang Sheng excitedly waved his fist.

After calming down, I suddenly remembered something and started typing away on the keyboard.

"There's another piece of news: Xiao Nai has also found outside help."

Yang Muyi was already about to log off QQ when he was stunned after seeing the message from Zhang Sheng.

Xiao Nai is so proud that he's willing to hire foreign players, which shows he's taking Saturday's game very seriously.

Yang Muye typed back, "Do you know who their foreign aid is?"

Zhang Sheng quickly replied: "I was quite puzzled when I heard about Ning Zhiqian, who was drinking with you last time. Shouldn't he be on your side?"

Yang Muye was looking at the message sent by Zhang Sheng when the doorbell rang outside the room.

Liu Wenjing was cooking when Xu Sanduo opened the door.

"Teacher Hu, you've come at the right time. Wenjing has almost finished cooking, and I was just about to go and call you."

Hu Yifei stood at the door and waved.

"No need, no need, I've already eaten at the school cafeteria. Is Yang Muye here? I need to talk to him about something."

Xu Sanduo invited Hu Yifei to sit down in the living room, and then walked to the door of Yang Muye's room.

"Mr. Yang, Teacher Hu is here."

Upon seeing Yang Muyi come out of the room, Hu Yifei immediately stood up from the sofa.

"I have to go back to school in a bit. To make a long story short, Ning Zhiqian just called me and asked me to come and apologize to you."

“He didn’t know at first that the person playing against Xiao Nai was you. He and Xiao Nai knew each other from playing basketball before. When Xiao Nai called him, he agreed without thinking much about it.”

Hu Yifei shrugged after she finished speaking.

"Oh, right, Ning Zhiqian asked me to tell you something: he won't hold back on the court."

Yang Muyi strongly suspects that Ning Zhiqian did not say these words at all, but that Hu Yifei added them herself.

Hu Yifei didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to see the exciting show of the third and fourth ranked members of the "Deserving of Punishment" list ganging up on the number one.

Of course, those who enjoy watching the spectacle will never mind if things get too exciting.

"gone."

Hu Yifei waved to Yang Muye and left in a hurry.

That evening, Xu Hongdou video chatted with Xu Hongmi as usual, catching up on each other's recent situations.

Xu Hongmi noticed that Xu Hongdou seemed a little absent-minded, so she deliberately brought up the topic of Xiao Nai, the campus heartthrob of Dongda University, challenging Yang Muye to a duel, which was being hotly discussed in the vegetable-stealing group.

Xu Hongdou sensed Xu Hongmi's ill intentions and said irritably, "What does this have to do with me?"

In the video, Xu Hongmi shrugged.

"Fine, it's none of your business, but it's my business, okay? I'm off this weekend, want to come to Shanghai for fun? I'll reimburse your round-trip airfare."

Xu Hongdou knew that if she went to Shanghai, Xu Hongmi would definitely drag her to watch Yang Muye's match.

Who wants to watch that guy play ball?

“I’m not coming. If anyone’s coming, it’s you coming to Yanjing. I’ll book a hotel for you.”

Xu Hongmi rolled her eyes at her.

"If you don't want to come, then don't."

Just as I was about to change the subject, there was a knock on the door behind me.

"Redmi, are you available now?"

Xu Hongmi turned around:
"It's convenient, please come in."

The door was pushed open.

A woman with a towel wrapped around her head and a face mask on walked in.

"Redmi, my hair dryer is broken, can I borrow yours for a bit?"

Xu Hongmi got up to get a hairdryer, and the woman with the face mask walked over to the computer and waved at the camera.

"Red Bean, we meet again!"

"Hello, Sister Xiaomei."

Xu Hongdou greeted the woman very politely.

The other party was a roommate of Xu Hongmi named Fan Shengmei, who worked in the HR department of a foreign company.

Fan Shengmei wanted to chat with Xu Hongdou a little longer, but Xu Hongmi came back with a hairdryer.

Fan Shengmei took the hair dryer and waved goodbye to Xu Hongdou on the other end of the video call.

Xu Hongmi returned to her computer and was about to sit down.

A sharp, cramping pain shot through my abdomen.

Xu Hongmi clutched her stomach, and Fan Shengmei quickly came over to support her.

"Redmi, is your stomach still hurting?"

Xu Hongmi waved her hand and forced herself to sit down.

"It's nothing, I probably just had an upset stomach today. I'll be fine after I go to the toilet."

On the other end of the video call, Xu Hongdou asked loudly with a concerned expression:

"Xu Hongmi, how long have you had a stomachache?"

Fan Shengmei, standing to the side, spoke first:
"It must have taken at least two or three hours. She came home from get off work today saying she had a stomachache and didn't even eat dinner."

"Xu Hongmi, you need to go to the hospital right away."

"No need, I'll be fine after lying down for a while."

Xu Hongmi is still stubbornly insisting on her position.

In the video, Xu Hongdou took out her phone and threatened Xu Hongmi that if she didn't go to the hospital, she would immediately call her parents.

Xu Hongmi couldn't persuade Xu Hongdou otherwise.

"Okay, I'll go to the hospital right away."

Xu Hongdou was still worried, so she asked Fan Shengmei to accompany Xu Hongmi to the hospital in the video call, and also asked Fan Shengmei to call her when she arrived at the hospital.

Fan Shengmei nodded, ripped off the face mask, and without even drying her hair, immediately ran back to her room to change.
