Billiards: Starting with the Overlord's Shot, Dominating the World

There was no girlish shyness in Ye Zhiwei's eyes, only unwavering support and deep affection for him.

That light was more radiant than the sunset on the horizon, and more dazzling than the brightest star in the night sky.

Fan Zhengyang's heart was struck hard by this light.

He looked at the girl in front of him, who had left her hometown and come to this unfamiliar city for him, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He wanted to say something, but felt as if something was blocking his throat.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and without saying a word, simply reached out and took the heavy suitcase from her hands.

"Let's go." His voice was so gentle it could melt your heart.

"Where are we going?" Ye Zhiwei was taken aback.

"Take my 'personal strategist' to see your new home. I'll also treat you to a nice meal to celebrate our university genius's housewarming."

Fan Zhengyang smiled, a smile that was warmer and more earnest than ever before.

"Oh, right!" He took a couple of steps, then turned back to look at the girl who was following closely behind him, and added, "How much is the rent? I'll pay it for you."

"Oh? No need, no need! I have a scholarship!" Ye Zhiwei quickly waved her hand.

"That won't do." Fan Zhengyang's tone left no room for argument. "My personal strategist, how can he possibly pay his own way to work? This is a betrothal gift... oh wait, I mean, a dowry! You must accept it!"

"What dowry?! You're talking nonsense!" Ye Zhiwei's face flushed red to her ears. She punched Fan Zhengyang's back lightly, as if she were just tickling him.

The two of them, one in front of the other, cast long shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun.

A person dragging a heavy suitcase, yet moving with incredibly light steps.

One followed behind, muttering complaints under their breath, but a sweet smile that they couldn't hide lingered on their lips.

Not far away, inside the training hall, the sounds of intense training continued.

Here, the evening breeze is gentle, the sycamore leaves rustle, and the air is filled with a sweet scent called "youth".

After settling Ye Zhiwei in, Fan Zhengyang finally felt a long-awaited sense of relief.

With such a beautiful and capable "personal strategist" by my side, I feel like I have more energy to swing my racket during training.

The next day, when he returned to the training hall, he exuded an aura of "being in high spirits when something good happens," and even hummed a little tune, completely different from his taciturn state the day before.

But he soon realized that something was off about the atmosphere inside the museum.

All the team members were like they had been injected with chicken blood, and the training intensity was much higher than usual. Everyone's eyes were burning with fighting spirit, and the air was filled with a strong sense of tension.

Even Chen Feng, the captain who is usually known for his composure, is now engaged in a frantic forehand attack practice, his back soaked with sweat.

"What happened? Did they all take performance-enhancing drugs?" Fan Zhengyang asked, completely bewildered, as he grabbed a member of the second team.

The teammate glanced at him, his expression complex, and lowered his voice, saying, "Yang-ge, you don't know yet? Coach Wei just announced that there will be an internal round-robin next week!"

"A team-wide rotation?" Fan Zhengyang was taken aback.

"Yes!" The team member's tone was a mix of excitement and nervousness. "To prepare for the East China Five Provinces Regional Invitational Tournament in a month, besides Chen Feng, Li Yan, and Gao Peng, we need to select two more players to participate! So, we have an internal round-robin tournament to determine the remaining two! This is a crucial 'internal reshuffle' for our province!"

Fan Zhengyang understood instantly.

The East China Five Provinces Regional Invitational Tournament, featuring the new book "Table Tennis: Starting with the Overlord's Smash, Dominating the World" by the renowned author September Blossoms, is a highly prestigious event that tests the training results and the form of the main players in each provincial team.

The team's internal round-robin format is the sole criterion for determining who can represent the provincial team in international competitions.

The winners receive points, and the losers receive zero. The final ranking is based on the total points.

This means that he, as a "parachuted" member of the team, will have to engage in the most direct and brutal head-on confrontation with all the veteran members of the team!

This is a "war" that will determine your future standing within the team!

No wonder everyone was so energetic.

"Interesting." A smile of excitement appeared on Fan Zhengyang's lips.

He was just worried about having nowhere to use his expert-level skills when, sure enough, the pillow was delivered.

Just then, a slight commotion arose at the entrance of the training hall.

A red hovercar with sleek lines, resembling a burning flame, hovered silently in the no-parking zone at the base entrance with an extremely arrogant posture.

The car door slowly opened upwards, like a butterfly spreading its wings.

A long, slender dress wrapped in black silk She stepped out first, her high heels adorned with a dazzling diamond that refracted brilliantly in the sunlight.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful figure stepped out of the car.

The person who arrived was none other than Gu Qingcheng.

Today, she wore a well-tailored black business suit that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure. Large sunglasses covered half of her gorgeous face, her red lips gleaming, radiating confidence and charisma.

The moment she appeared, it was as if the whole world had turned into her personal runway, instantly attracting the attention of everyone inside and outside the training hall.

The young team members, who were sweating profusely, were all stunned, and their movements slowed down by half a beat.

"Wow! Which big star has arrived?"

"That aura is amazing! Even more powerful than those female celebrities on TV!"

"She...she seems to be heading this way!"

Amidst countless admiring, curious, and envious glances, Gu Qingcheng ignored everyone, walked straight across the training ground, and headed directly towards Fan Zhengyang.

"Training?" She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of captivating phoenix eyes, a lazy and alluring smile playing on her lips.

"Mr....Mr. Gu?" Fan Zhengyang was also surprised by her sudden appearance. "What brings you here?"

"Can't I take a look at my 'investments'?" Gu Qingcheng's voice was slightly magnetic. She stretched out her slender fingers and naturally straightened Fan Zhengyang's slightly disheveled collar. The cool touch of her fingertips made Fan Zhengyang's heart skip a beat.

This intimate gesture instantly widened the eyes of the surrounding onlookers, leaving them speechless.

Gao Peng was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't understand how this seemingly ordinary kid could know such a stunningly beautiful woman. And judging from their appearance, their relationship was anything but ordinary!

Could it be... that this kid is a hidden rich second-generation?

"Come on, come with me." Gu Qingcheng didn't give Fan Zhengyang a chance to refuse and directly grabbed his wrist.

"Huh? Now? I'm still training..."

"I've already asked your head coach Wang for leave." Gu Qingcheng's tone left no room for argument. "It won't take you long. Get in the car."

Under the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of the entire team, Fan Zhengyang was half-pushed and half-forced by Gu Qingcheng into that flashy red sports car.
