I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 14 Tian Jingyi

In the end, Chen Yan still went to check out the badminton hall on the sixth floor. After all, he was already there, and if the hall was good, maybe he could find a good place to play badminton in the future.

Although the park where Chen Yan goes for his night run has a badminton court, it's too small and is occupied by a group of elderly people doing square dancing every day, so there's no way to play badminton.

With a bit of curiosity, Chen Yan took the flyer and went up to the sixth floor, where he quickly found the badminton hall.

The stadium has a total of twenty courts, covering an area of ​​about 2,000 square meters, which is a typical medium-sized stadium.

The price is clearly marked on the sign at the intersection: 25 yuan per hour during the day, and 40 yuan per hour from 5 pm onwards.

The price for coaching is calculated separately: 80 yuan per hour for beginners, 200 yuan per hour for experienced players, and 500 yuan per hour for top-level players.

Chen Yan wasn't sure if the price of this badminton hall was too high or too low, but he liked the environment and was somewhat tempted.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find anyone to play with. Shen Dong's home was in Hangzhou, so it was clearly impossible for him to come to Fengning District to play with him.

In the county town, his closest friends were Ding Yang and Gao Zhuang; one had gone abroad, and the other was only interested in physical, hand-to-hand combat sports.

So if you want to play ball, you can only find a sparring partner in the gym... But since you're going to find a sparring partner, you definitely need to find someone who is evenly matched or even slightly better than you.

With his professional-level badminton skills, Chen Yan feels that apart from the most expensive top-tier players, he probably won't be able to perform at his full potential with the others.

However, the price of 500 yuan per hour for top-tier companions was still a bit beyond his budget. Even if he only played for two hours a day, it would still cost 30,000 yuan a month.

'Forget it, I'll just practice running on my own.' Chen Yan shook his head, feeling that he was probably the most useless system owner.

If this were a novel, having had the system for so long, one wouldn't necessarily be financially independent, but they would certainly have several million dollars.

But Chen Yan only has a little over 600,000 yuan in his account right now, and he earned that 600,000 yuan before he got the system.

'So it's not that I'm useless, it's that the system is useless.' Chen Yan complained about the system in his mind. He turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face walking out of the stadium.

The reason I say we're only half acquaintances is that our relationship is basically limited to exchanging greetings when we bump into each other in the school gymnasium, and then going our separate ways.

Chen Yan initially thought he was seeing things, but after turning to the side, he realized he wasn't mistaken. At the same time, the girl who came out of the stadium also saw him.

"Chen...Chen Yan?" Tian Jingyi rubbed her eyes, a hint of surprise on her face, and said, "I thought I was seeing things. You're here to play ball too?"

Indeed, the girl who came out of the stadium was Tian Jingyi, Chen Yan's opponent in his first doubles match and Glasses Guy's teammate.

Since that doubles match, the four of them have become familiar with each other. In addition, the only suitable place to play ball in the school is the gymnasium, so they would run into each other a few times a week. As a result, they have become somewhat acquainted.

Of course, they knew each other, but Glasses Guy... that is, Zhao Zheng, never played on the same court as them. Chen Yan strongly suspected that he had already beaten Zhao Zheng to the point of collapse.

Shaking off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Chen Yan shook his head. "I ran into someone handing out flyers on the third floor, so I thought I'd come up and see what was going on, and here I am, you."

Chen Yan was somewhat surprised to run into Tian Jingyi here. After all, the probability of meeting someone from the same small county as him in the school gymnasium was about the same as getting two yolks in a ten-pull in a game.

While answering the other person's questions, Chen Yan was also observing the other person's outfit for the day.

A white short-sleeved shirt paired with black shorts is a simple and common outfit... but good looks are the best fashion accessory, and the other person's outstanding appearance greatly enhances this outfit. Especially those clean and lively doe eyes, which always give Chen Yan a vibrant feeling.

"Me too. I came across someone handing out flyers a few days ago, so I came up to give it a try, and I've been practicing here ever since." Seeing that Chen Yan hadn't even brought his racket, Tian Jingyi knew that he really had just come to take a look. Just as she was about to say something, a thought suddenly popped into her head.

Tian Jingyi has only been playing badminton for less than two months, and she only found a badminton partner in college. As for her hometown, a small county town...

It's not that she doesn't have friends, it's just that none of her friends are interested in badminton.

That's why she even had to find a sparring partner when she played ball. Even though it was just a basic beginner's partner, the price of 81 hours still made her gasp.

If you can find a partner to play with, you can save money on training sessions.

Tian Jingyi herself was just a complete novice and didn't have a very direct feeling about other people's skills, but she knew very well that Chen Yan's skills were definitely better than hers.

After all, Zhao Zheng was able to dominate her back then, and in that doubles match, Chen Yan completely crushed Zhao Zheng in the end, making the difference in strength obvious.

"Um, do you plan to play badminton here?" Tian Jingyi asked softly, a hint of longing in her pretty doe-like eyes.

"It depends. The main problem is that I can't find anyone to play with, and the price of coaching is a bit beyond my budget," Chen Yan gave a vague answer.

"How about we play together?" Tian Jingyi suggested. "I'll cover the field fee and water fee."

Tian Jingyi is familiar with some of the rules of badminton.

For example, badminton can only be played when the players are evenly matched. If there is a slight difference in skill, the slightly stronger player has to feed the shuttlecock. Therefore, when a novice plays against an expert, unless the two players are already on good terms, the novice has to pay for the court fees and water fees.

Chen Yan wasn't very interested in Tian Jingyi's suggestion, since practicing with a complete novice would be a nearly zero-experience activity.

Just as Chen Yan was thinking about how to politely refuse...

Faced with a beautiful girl's request and expectations, what choice would you make?

[Option 1: Of course, agree with her. You were already thinking of playing anyway, and now someone's paying for the court fees. You can just feed her the ball more often during the game.]

[Reward: Random Skill (Mastery Level)]

……

[Option 2: What you need is an evenly matched opponent, not a loser. As a Sigma man, you should refuse such a request that offers no benefit to yourself.]

[Reward: Aura (Cool and Aloof)]

……

[Option 3: Don't bother listening. A good-for-nothing like you doesn't deserve a word from you. Turning around and leaving is the best option.]

[Reward: Significantly increased attractiveness to members of the same sex.]
