"Zhang Shan said, 'Wang Zheng, what's going on with you? It's such a pity!'"
Wang Zheng shrugged helplessly, "There's nothing I can do, it just happened. There are always a few days each month when things go wrong."
Everyone was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "You can even laugh about this, there must be something good going on."
"Ha ha, Brother Shan, Brother Zheng has a girlfriend now. They go out together, and it's enviable," Chen Xiu revealed.
"Damn, no wonder the dorm leader is always a step ahead of us. Who is it? Is it Ye Zisu?"
Zhang Shan asked. Meng Tian trained with them, so it couldn't be her.
"It's not Ye Zisu. She's even more beautiful, indescribably so. I've never seen such a beautiful and graceful girl," Chen Xiu said, gesturing excitedly.
"Really? Is it that exaggerated? Anyway, congratulations!"
It was clear that after the special training, Zhang Shan was in a good mood. People might have many talents, but only one is the best fit for them.
With time, changes are inevitable. Zhang Shan realized this, but since it was a childhood dream, he couldn't make a decision right away. However, he was clearly planning to develop in the military field.
A strong sense of logic and spatial awareness is a great help for battlefield command and judgment.
Most importantly, there's a feeling on the battlefield that the world of physics can't give Zhang Shan.
As for Wang Zheng, Zhang Shan felt quite sorry for him. This was a great opportunity, but Wang Zheng didn't seize it. However, he was more talented in physics, so it might turn out to be a good thing.
Aina made Wang Zheng's life more colorful. He never had enough time, but the training continued as usual. No matter how unreliable Bones was, he couldn't summon him, so Wang Zheng could only follow his routine.
The Unity Technique had also entered a bottleneck, with no progress for a long time, but he couldn't slack off. Practice is like rowing upstream; if you don't advance, you retreat.
Meng Tian returned. Regarding Wang Zheng having a girlfriend, Meng Tian was very calm, even showing no interest in meeting her. Their encounters at the boxing club were just normal training, and their conversations were mostly about training.
The art club's model sessions only happened once a week, so most of the time, Wang Zheng was with Aina. They seemed to have endless topics to talk about. Wang Zheng would listen to Aina talk about the world of Aslan and its culture.
It was indeed an elite world, where life was always moving in the best direction. However, Aina believed that in this process, many people forgot the beauty of life. Still, Aslan was a place many in the galaxy aspired to.
Wang Zheng would talk about his own interesting stories. The first part of his life was with his father, the charlatan, and later with Old Jia, the show-off. Now, he saw that Old Jia had some real skills, and Aina was quite impressed. A bookstore owner with such extensive knowledge was truly a hidden gem, and one shouldn't underestimate him.
Of course, Wang Zheng and Su's embarrassing stories were what Aina enjoyed the most. Their relationship had progressed to passionate kisses, and they often talked about private matters. However, Wang Zheng didn't understand why Aina liked him.
Probably no one who knew would understand.
Aina gradually adapted to the life at War God Academy. She knew she had to forget her princess identity to live better. This kind of wisdom was not something an ordinary girl could achieve, but Aina could.
Like Ye Zisu, Yan Xiaosu, who was always nervous in front of Aina, also noticed that Aina lived and interacted with Wang Zheng with a normal heart.
This made Yan Xiaosu admire Wang Zheng immensely. A true man, a true god!
Although Su had always admired Wang Zheng, this admiration made Wang Zheng very happy.
The two bachelor brothers finally escaped their single lives. Clearly, this year's Singles' Day wouldn't involve them running to the lake to drink beer together.
Brothers' Internet Cafe.
Every week, they had to show up. Aina also loved watching Wang Zheng fight. As she put it, Wang Zheng was super cool and godlike during those moments.
Wang Zheng had his own selfish reasons. He cared about the rewards after victory. The key was... the VIP room was private. At school, there were too many people, and everything was under scrutiny, making many things inconvenient.
Sigh, Wang Zheng felt he was quite naughty, but thinking about it, it was human nature!
Yan Xiaosu also brought An Mei. Yan wanted to show his abilities in front of An Mei. With Rainbow's help, Su finally advanced to the Bronze level. The shiny badge gave him a lot of face. He was now aiming for the Silver level, with the ultimate goal of Gold, to match his "rich kid" status.
Of course, Yan Xiaosu and Wang Zheng had the same thoughts. Lovers need a private space. He had only held An Mei's hand so far, which was quite embarrassing.
The relationship between men and women is very subtle. If you can't progress during the honeymoon phase, it will turn into friendship, which is a tragic outcome for one party.
Yan Xiaosu firmly believed Wang Zheng had the same goal. Otherwise, why would a rookie keep coming here? The leader is the leader, always thinking far ahead.
That's what he said, but once in battle, Wang Zheng was very serious. He was different from others; carelessness could lead to failure, and the consequences were severe.
During Bones' training, mistakes were the least tolerated. He had been electrocuted countless times, feeling like he was becoming a conductor.
"I wonder what kind of opponent we'll face this time?" Aina was quite interested.
As an Aslan, it was impossible not to be interested in military matters. In Aslan, every citizen must undergo two military trainings, unless they have a special profession or situation. Even royal family members can't avoid it, so Aslan is a nation of soldiers with strong national qualities.
Games like CT are even more popular in Aslan, maintaining the highest standards.
One-on-one or five-on-five?
Wang Zheng looked at Aina, who blinked, "Give you a challenge, how about five-on-five?"
Wang Zheng smiled and chose five-on-five, "Is there a reward for winning?"
Aina gave him a seductive look, "You decide."
Wang Zheng immediately felt energized. He had to perform well.
Entering the match.
In the comment section, countless fans were waiting. Five-on-five, and the current Skeleton wasn't a rookie anymore. Others might not know, but once he appeared, he would be targeted. How to fight?
There were too many variables. With Skeleton's current win rate, he would likely be matched with high-level players. The disadvantage of War God No. 1 would be magnified in team battles.
"Welcome to this five-on-five team battle. I'm Xiaolu."
"Hello, I'm Xiaomo. I'm here to commentate on this team battle with Xiaolu. I've heard a lot about the Skeleton player, and I didn't expect my first commentary to be on his team battle."
Xiaomo, a famous female commentator, was invited to partner with Xiaolu. Both were top commentators in CT.
"It's an honor to work with Xiaomo. Let's see what surprises the Skeleton player has for us today. Will his War God No. 1 still perform miracles in team battles?" Xiaolu was calm today, having learned from past mistakes. He would observe the situation first.
"Xiaolu, I heard you have a bias against the Skeleton player. Is that true?" The beautiful woman smiled, her oval face with a dimple when she laughed, no wonder she was so popular.
Professional commentators not only earn appearance fees but also run their own online stores, making them quite wealthy, even more so than some players.
Xiaolu, a seasoned commentator, smiled, "You guess. Just kidding, I'm just more cautious. This kind of high-risk battle can easily collapse, especially in team battles. I can pray for the teammates matched with the Skeleton player."
"Is that so? Let's wait and see. Hello, everyone. You are now watching the legendary Skeleton player's team battle in the beginner zone."
The comment section was already buzzing. What kind of battle would this be?
The official system was fully activated, waiting for the match results.
Flower Playboy, Silver Level 3
I'm Not Weak, Bronze Level 4
Loli, Don't Run, Silver Level 5
Zhang San Li Si, Bronze Level 1
Wang Zheng's win rate was too high. Seeing Zhang San Li Si's flashing icon, this was clearly a promotion match, from Bronze Level 1 to Silver Level 5.
The opposing team also had two Silvers and three Bronzes.
Zhang San Li Si was very nervous. A promotion match required two wins out of three. He had one win and one loss. Seeing two Silvers excited him, but... there was a rookie, which made his heart sink.
Hmm... This ID looks familiar?
It's that popular player recently?
"The opponents have appeared. Both the red and blue teams have players aiming to promote to Silver in this match. This will be a fierce battle. We've seen the Skeleton player's individual skills, but how will he perform in a team battle?"
Xiaomo smiled, checking the players' profiles.
"Team battles and individual battles are completely different, emphasizing cooperation and obedience."
Xiaolu was calm but secretly delighted. This time, there was a chance. In the current situation, the opposing team would definitely target Skeleton. If they lost, he would blame Skeleton. If they won, and Skeleton was eliminated, he would still blame Skeleton. This gave him a 50% better chance than usual.
Of course, the most frustrating thing was that Skeleton's teammates were also strong.
The highest-level player automatically became the captain, which was Flower Playboy.
"Everyone, this is my promotion match. Please help me and give your best effort!"
Zhang San Li Si quickly said, knowing that a promotion match was like a trial. Relying on himself wasn't enough; he needed his teammates' help, so he had to be polite and sincere.
Flower Playboy smiled, "Don't worry. We have two Silvers, and so does the opposing team. But we have a hidden boss."
"Wow, it's really the living Skeleton, great!" I'm Not Weak exclaimed, clearly a fan.
The two Silvers were calm. It was normal for high-level players not to pay attention to low-level ones, but they had heard of him.
"I have an idea. I'll go top lane and hold off two people. Skeleton will go mid lane and deal with one. I think that's manageable. Loli, you three can ambush and quickly eliminate the opponents, then come to our aid, catching them off guard!"
