Chapter 59 Peanuts? Peanut embryos!
The battle between LGD and JDG has had a significant impact on JDG and even their regular season rankings.

If JDG had won just one game, they would have secured second place in the regular season. Instead, they were swept 2-0, which made the already close race between second and fourth place even more precarious.

第二的FPX锁定了12-4小分14，JDG12-4小分也是14，而第四名的TES目前11-4，小分12！

Their final opponent was LNG, who had already replaced their top laner. They won 2-0, and based on head-to-head results, they are now third in the regular season!
Although there isn't much difference between third and fourth place, JDG didn't expect that they would drop from second to fourth place in the regular season just from such a small game.

It already feels like a single point in the college entrance exam can mean the difference between hundreds of thousands of scores.

For LGD, an 8-8 record with 0 points doesn't look good, but given the relatively even strength of the teams this year, they have already secured a playoff spot.

And we've now reached seventh place!

RNG, currently in eighth place, still has one more match to play against VG!
Both teams had a 7-8 record, but LGD's early advancement left only one playoff spot available.

Both VG and RNG have a score of -1. The team that wins will secure a playoff spot, while a 2-0 victory will allow them to advance as the seventh seed.

The LPL is about to have its final two regular season matches.

TES vs. LNG, VG vs. RNG!

However, this is not something LGD, who have already qualified for the playoffs, should be concerned about. They have done their best to qualify by the very last minute.

It doesn't matter who we play against in the playoffs, just as Di Wu said.

Their goal has changed from the playoffs to the championship!
The next day!

Around three or four in the afternoon, the sun was still shining brightly, making it a perfect day for going out.

Saint Gun was standing at the entrance of LGD's base in casual clothes, waiting for the LGD players to return.

"Ha~" He yawned, looking a little tired but also very excited.

This lineup from LGD is probably the best lineup I've encountered since Snake Esports' BO10 back then.

A bus bearing the LGD team logo stopped at the entrance of LGD's Hangzhou base.

Di Wu was the first to get out of the car, stretching and yawning.

"Coach Mai! You beat JDG, can you take a day off now?"

"Yes, that's right. I'll talk to Brother Hu! Let you guys rest today and prepare for the playoffs!" Mai Zijian nodded and got out of the car.

Di Wu walked to the gate, where a somewhat thin-looking man was smiling broadly at him: "God G!!!"

"It's only been a few days, and he looks even more handsome! Is this the kind of man who can carry the team? I love him so much!"

???

"It's a bit... disgusting!" Di Wu shook his head in disgust, suppressing a laugh.

"Let's go! Put your things down, I'll treat everyone to dinner!" Flandre naturally stepped forward and mingled with the LGD players.

Even Lies, the player who was about to be replaced, relaxed a bit. They're all buddies!
We haven't reached the point where "everyone has their own dreams and lives a wonderful life" yet.

"Brother! Hello! I'm Peanut! You can call me Wanghu, or Little Peanut!"

Peanut, who was behind her, stepped forward to greet Flandre. It is said that Flandre was a player who had already entered the LPL in 14.

That must be my senior, right?

Flandre quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, Brother Wanghu, you're my brother! From now on, we'll rely on you to carry the team in the competition!"

"You two seem to be about the same age, right? Wanghu is a little older." At Di Wu's comment, Little Peanut stared wide-eyed at Flandre.
Am I older?

Hmm, as expected! A contestant who debuted in 14 seems more mature in many ways!

"Maybe it's because he looks more mature, like an older brother!" Little Peanut quickly replied with a smile.

Flandre looked at Peanut and couldn't help but reveal a somewhat cunning expression. So, she just looks a little more mature, right?
"Let's go! Brother Wanghu, I'll treat you to Hangzhou's specialty! West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce!"

"Thank you, brother!" Little Peanut nodded with a smile.

Although I don't know what West Lake Vinegar Fish is, it sounds like a delicious dish.

???

After exchanging such polite pleasantries, they were basically addressing each other as "brother," which could be considered a... decent way of getting along, right? Since everyone's "brother," then the "brother" has to fetch his own water.

Later that evening, the entire LGD team gathered in the private room that Flandre had reserved long ago.

Mai Zijian glanced around at the contestants on the table and almost burst into tears.

Who would have thought that just over half a month ago, LGD was a team that was almost out of the playoffs?

Now they are strong enough to challenge the four kings of this year's Spring Split!
"Huh? Isn't this price too expensive?" Little Peanut frowned as he glanced at the prices on the menu.

I've been with LGD for half a season now, and this is the first time I've ever seen this kind of spending.

Peanut's miserly "Mr. Krabs" personality immediately awakens.

"It's alright, it's alright! I'll treat you all today as a way of thanking you for getting me into the playoffs!" Flandre just smiled and didn't hold back at all.

Having played for Snake Esports for so many years, although I've never received a huge contract, the cost of a meal is just a drop in the ocean.

Peanut nodded only after Flandre said so, but seeing such high expenses, even if it wasn't his own money, still pained him.

It's like you've strapped Chovy to a chair and made him watch the turret farm minions.

Even though he knew it wasn't a competition, it was still incredibly painful; it was an indelible subconscious feeling ingrained deep within his soul.

"Money! So much money!"

"Ahem! I feel like my joining LGD is ruining your style, isn't it? You guys are really starting to look like a team of handsome guys!" After ordering the food, Flandre glanced at Di Wu, then her gaze fell on Peanut.

Diwu had met Xiaohua (Peanut) before when they were in OMG last year, but they hadn't met face-to-face like this many times. It's no wonder that he is a player with extremely high popularity in the LCK.

"Wow! You're so damn handsome!"

Flandre's sudden remark made Peanut quickly shake his head: "No, no."

"I still remember watching you at the World Championship in 16, you were so full of vigor!"

"They're playing against peak SKT!"

Flandre's terrifying social skills were evident in just a few simple words, especially when she mentioned 16. Peanut's lips curled into a deep smile, like the number 7, and he couldn't shake off the unease, though he also felt a pang of regret.

"Sigh, that's all in the past!"

Thinking back to his time with the Tigers, Peanut smiled with relief; his time with SKT had gradually smoothed out his rough edges.

"It's alright, you're still very young, almost the same as you were back then!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing Flandre's words...
Peanut couldn't hide his grin: "Really? I've never had any cosmetic procedures done, but they're really popular where I'm from lately!"

The Korean man's awareness of skincare was immediately ignited, and Xiao Hua couldn't help but touch his own face.

Ah~ Just as expected, it's still the same as it was 16! Such elastic skin.

Flandre has been coaxing Little Peanut with one trick after another, and he hasn't even had a meal yet. He's been turned into this kind of person by Wanghu.
Peanut is as innocent as a child in front of Flandre, the oil gun.

No wonder Viper still misses Flandre so much after returning to China!
I just hope that in the Peanut competition, Flandre won't be given the same "male and female torture" outfit as Wolfwalker.

If even Flandre can be forced to use her Mask of Pain, then you owe the LPL a debt you can't possibly repay.

After the dishes were served, Little Peanut strictly adhered to the principle of letting the elders start eating first, while Flandre got up to serve Di Wu a spoonful of West Lake Vinegar Fish.
"Hey! Let Wanghu eat first! It's probably his first time eating here, so it'll be a good opportunity for him to try this local specialty!"

"Huh? I'll eat first?"

Little Peanut pointed to himself, wondering if this was really okay. With Flandre, the most senior, and Wheat Tip, the oldest, both present, what right did he have to eat first?
"That makes sense, Wanghu should eat first!"

Flandre and Diwu exchanged a glance, and the two of them worked together to completely coax Peanut, the former LCK jungler king, into becoming a peanut.

"Ah~ Thank you, brother! Salah hey yo!"

Little Peanut took a big bite of the vinegar fish, which was covered in sauce!
"Hiss... This is really..."

"Delicious!"

???

Diwu and Flandre both glanced in astonishment at the sticky vinegar fish on the table…

Flandre herself was a little puzzled. She had specifically looked for a restaurant recommended online that served fish and plates in the lake. Had the chef done something extraordinary today?

Di Wu curiously took a bite of the fish with sauce...

"Wow! Xuanjun! This is delicious! Where did you find this restaurant?"

"Huh? Delicious." Flandre frowned in confusion and quickly picked up a piece of fish.

The moment she put it in her mouth, the strong fishy smell mixed with the taste of vinegar made Flandre unable to stop.

"Uh…"

Peanut, Diwu, and Flandre's faces contorted as they almost simultaneously vomited onto the plate.

If we eat something delicious, as good brothers, we must share it; if we eat something bad...
Then I have to share it! I must let my good buddy taste it too!

So-called strategists! They put themselves into the game!

"Damn it! G-God! He's corrupted Wanghu!" Flandre muttered helplessly...

Di Wu shook his head and explained, "I didn't teach it."

Little Peanut showed a determined look, and he waited until both of them finished eating before spitting it out: "Don't underestimate my ability to endure!"

Flandre gave a thumbs up: "You are the one! But we can't waste food, we must finish it all!"

???

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned pale, except for Lies, who maintained a composed expression: "Me, a BJ kid! I started drinking soy milk when I was three, I could outdrink two boys six years older than me when I was five, the soy milk emboldened me so much that girls needed to take a shower when I was twelve, and at seventeen..."

All eyes were on Lies. He just sighed silently and didn't continue. Perhaps everyone has their own destiny to carry.
"It's just a small fish in vinegar sauce! I will certainly not fail you!"

As expected, the boss was right to keep Lies.

After a few rounds of beer, the LGD players had almost finished eating. Just as Flandre was about to get up to pay the bill, Peanut unusually stood up and blocked her way.

"Brother, it's okay! I'll buy it!"

Pay...pay the bill? Such unfamiliar words coming from Little Peanut's mouth.
Di Wu's pupils dilated, staring at Xiao Huasheng in disbelief. "You...you are Han Wanghu? Are you drunk?"

Flandre makes its own oil, but I never expected they could extract oil from peanuts?

Flandre looked at Peanut with a big smile: "Wow, Wanghu is so generous! The man who pays the bill is so handsome."

Little Peanut quickly followed Wheat Tip out of the private room to pay the bill, because if he had been any slower, he would have been unable to hold back his laughter.

Little peanut? It's already been coaxed into becoming a peanut embryo!
