She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

It's just that I believed his nonsense. If he's not handsome, all his lies are useless.

If someone is so handsome that they're outrageously handsome, as long as they know how to drive a pile driver, they'll still be highly sought after even if they don't know anything else.

Unless you only drive on the stakes for less than 40 seconds... cough cough...

However, Su Mu was still very grateful to have this skill, as it allowed him to be self-sufficient and avoid being ripped off.

Some unscrupulous merchants charge hundreds of yuan to install a system; why don't they just rob people?

Selling a 9400F for 2,000 is simply outrageous, not to mention telling you that a broken 3060 mining card is worth 4,000, it's infuriating.

A few minutes later, Su Mu unplugged the USB drive, shut down the computer, and returned to her room.

The system installation was completed shortly afterward, and the newly assembled machine booted up successfully, entering the classic Win10 interface.

After downloading and installing all sorts of miscellaneous software, it had been more than an hour, and the time in the lower right corner showed 12:35.

"Su Mu, have you ordered takeout? If not, I'll make you an extra bowl of noodles, if you don't mind..."

The door was not closed, and Bai Wei's voice came from outside.

Turning her head, Su Mu noticed that she was wearing an apron with a squirrel pattern, which gave her a very virtuous wife vibe.

"I feel bad for going to so much trouble for you, I can place the order now..."

"No trouble at all, you're my roommate now." Bai Wei smiled slightly, revealing her pretty dimples.

Su Mu smiled brightly, "Alright then, as a reward, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Bai Wei chuckled softly as her footsteps faded into the distance.

……

On the table.

"Delicious! A girlfriend who can be both elegant in public and skilled in the kitchen, your future boyfriend will be incredibly lucky."

Su Mu was generous with her praise, giving a thumbs-up while patting her tummy.

"It's still early, and it's not as exaggerated as you say. I only know how to cook noodles; I'm really not good at cooking in general." Bai Wei said a little embarrassed.

To maintain her figure, she usually eats noodles for lunch and decides whether to go out for other meals in the evening depending on her mood.

Besides... there's no need to necessarily find a boyfriend...

Hey, why am I thinking about these things? Stop, stop!

"Let's not talk about that. Which school do you go to?"

“Uh…” Su Mu was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"what's wrong?"

"I didn't go to school." This wasn't something that couldn't be said, and Su Mu answered naturally after regaining her composure.

This time it was Bai Wei's turn to be surprised. She never imagined that the handsome girl in front of her, who was a year younger than her, had stopped going to school at such a young age.

She really wanted to ask why, but it was a private matter and it would be impolite to ask.

"You might not believe it, but I'm a professional esports player, though I should say I'm a former one," Su Mu said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Esports pro player… Bai Wei was surprised again.

"So you've retired and aren't playing anymore?"

"I'm not retiring, I'm just unwanted." Su Mu shrugged.

After all, that's the truth.

Not all gold shines. No matter how bright you are, if no one digs you out of the ground, what good is it?

"why?"

Bai Wei bit her lower lip lightly. She didn't know anything about this and didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she could only continue asking.

"It's a long story, but I'll tell you if you're interested."

Su Mu tore open the straw of a milk bottle, took a couple of delicious sips, and then began to recount the story.

Upon hearing the last part, Bai Wei looked at Su Mu with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

I never imagined... that her journey in pursuit of her dreams would be so arduous and difficult...

"So what are your plans next? Will you continue pursuing your dream, or choose to return to your studies?"

"Of course I won't give up easily. If PUBG doesn't work out, I'll switch to LOL. Everyone starts on a similar footing, and I'm confident I can achieve good results."

Su Mu raised the corners of her mouth and gave Bai Wei a confident smile with her eyes narrowed.

"Everyone has a mountain in their heart, and no matter what, I want to climb to the peak called Champion."

Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating Su Mu's face.

Bathed in sunlight, Bai Wei felt that Su Mu's eyes were filled with a golden radiance, dreamlike and ethereal, and his confident smile was extremely dazzling.

She couldn't help but think of the questions she had asked her family when she was a child.

What is the meaning of a dream? What does it mean to pursue a dream?

Looking at Su Mu now, Bai Wei felt that she had only truly understood what dreams and pursuing dreams meant from the time she gradually became sensible until this moment.

Looking back on her journey, she realized that she was missing something.

That kind of fervor to strive and fight, to climb to higher places with all one's might, and that unwavering determination to forge ahead even if it means being shattered to pieces.

She could see it; Su Mu had that kind of feeling in his eyes.

"Bai Wei, your dream is to become a great music artist, right?" Su Mu asked with a smile.

"I... I guess so..."

Is that really true? From childhood to adulthood, I've always followed my parents' arrangements, learning whatever they told me to learn.

No, that's not it...

It seems she has never really thought about what she wants to pursue.

"I see... Well then, that's all for now. Let's talk again over dinner tonight. I'm getting ready to start my grand project."

Su Mu quickly finished washing the dishes and returned to her room.

Bai Wei sat at the dining table in a daze for a long time, then walked absentmindedly to the door of the music room, standing there for a long time without going in.

A few minutes later, she turned and walked back to her room, turned on her computer, went to the official website of League of Legends, stared at the page for a moment, and then clicked to download the game again.

She wanted to know what kind of magic this competitive game could bring if played seriously, and why it was worth Su Mu's hard work and dedication.

6. Perfectly suitable

Su Mu spent some time adjusting the settings and entered the game training mode to get used to the controls.

I haven't played for a while, and with the differences in version, hero attributes, and equipment effects, I need to study it carefully.

Training plans also need to be developed. The training programs for professional esports players are not all the same, but the general direction is similar.

Although I didn't receive any professional training in League of Legends in my previous life, I had good relationships with some people in the relevant divisions of the team. Through this exposure, I was able to avoid taking any detours.

Diligence can make up for lack of talent, and besides, she's not lacking in talent at all.

More than half an hour later, Su Mu purchased some of the heroes and clicked to match a game.

In this world of League of Legends, there is no strict requirement to reach level 30 to play ranked matches; as long as you have enough champions, you can play. However, Su Mu still decided to play a normal match first to test the waters.

Instant queue! I clicked "confirm" to enter the game, and within two seconds, my four teammates had already locked in their heroes.

Seeing that only the support role was left, Su Mu smiled helplessly, a look of nostalgia crossing his face.

This is a classic scene.

So be it, it's just a casual game. There's no rule saying you have to pick a real support hero.

Thinking this, Su Mu casually selected Xerath.

The game had only been in open beta for less than half a year, and the atmosphere was still okay. When Su Mu saw this thing, his teammates didn't interact with him except for the mid-laner asking if he was a support.

[Host detected entering the game, limited-time mission issued]

[Keeps more than one player up at night: 0/]

The task rewards will be randomly drawn from the following three categories.

1. Improved Culinary Skills: Your culinary skills will reach the level of learning from a five-star chef for two months, enabling you to win over the hearts of those who like you through their stomachs.

2. Citrus scent: People of the same sex who smell your body scent will be attracted to you, but not to an extremely high degree.

3. Falling flat on the ground: Within two days, you will encounter a minor accident with a beautiful woman. You will accidentally knock someone down or be knocked down by someone else, and your face will be buried in the right place, so you will not get hurt.

As soon as Su Mu entered Summoner's Rift, he found that this information had suddenly appeared in his mind, leaving him completely stunned.

system?

Upon seeing the task completion conditions and rewards, Su Mu felt that this system was a bit... weird?

It's not hard to understand why people can't sleep at night. In my previous life, I often played the role of the "sunny sixth brother" during off-season live broadcasts for the sake of the show.

In layman's terms, it's about instilling in people's minds the idea of ​​constantly repeating, "Why should I do this? Why not do that? If I do this, I definitely won't lose."

Aside from the first reward, the other two are somewhat strange.

However, she didn't object to such a reward, at least it wasn't the kind of cheat system used in esports. To be honest, for a pure esports player, a system giving them cheat codes is no different from using cheats.

Even if you gave it to her, she would absolutely not use it.

In Su Mu's mind, doing so would be disrespectful to the opponent and would violate the original intention of e-sports.

Script hackers and cheaters are despised by everyone.

Xerath has a lot of room to maneuver when it comes to tilting the enemy, but of course, it's also very likely that he'll miss all his skills and tilt himself.

This is not difficult for Su Mu. Nowadays, a large number of new players are entering LOL every day, with varying skill levels and most of them still being very inexperienced.

The game had only been going on for a few minutes when the two players she was facing in the bottom lane were already dead.

Damn it, this electric coffin lid is so annoying!

I can't touch them, but they can touch me, and it hurts terribly, like I get an electric shock every few seconds. I can't stand it!

"I'm going to use Flash to take him down!"

"I will keep up!"

After a brief exchange, Thresh flashed to try and hook Xerath with his Q, but instead ran into Xerath's predicted E, leaving him stunned and unable to move.

A lightning strike, a pulse attack, and Miss Fortune's combo—Thresh died on the spot.

That's not all; after killing Thresh, Xerath leveled up to level 6.

Su Mu instantly learned the ultimate move and set up the turret. The three Italian cannons seemed to have a built-in tracking effect, locking directly onto Master Ashe's head.

The screens all turned gray, and the eyes of the two players controlling Ashe and Thresh twitched violently.

I'm so annoyed!

Little did they know that what was even more infuriating was yet to come. Just when the two thought they could finally kill that annoying coffin lid, they were both killed with a sliver of health under the tower. Not only did their blood pressure soar, but the pressure also came to their keyboard and mouse.

The atmosphere was perfect, and the moment to test the equipment's durability had finally arrived. The affordable A4Tech almost ended its brilliant life.

"Meow—"

In a dormitory room, a girl wearing headphones made the same angry sound as Feifan Ge sweeping the table.

"This is so annoying! I'll kill this Xerath a dozen times over!"

"No, a thousand times, ten thousand times, it's not enough!"

"..."

20 minutes passed.

Just as Ashe was resurrected from the fountain, she was blasted to death by Xerath outside. After serving for more than two years, the A4Tech keyboard and mouse finally couldn't hold on any longer and retired honorably.

The enemy base exploded. Su Mu reached out and took off his headphones, then picked up the milk next to him and took a sip.

Hmm, now I can go play ranked matches.
