The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"I know what that aloof woman's name is," Han Cheng said casually, trying to sound cool.

"What?! You actually inquired about that?!" Xu Xiaomeng said, emphasizing each word.

"No, I only heard her called Captain Xing Qi by the people on their team. I really didn't ask around!" Han Cheng quickly explained.

"Xing Qi? So that aloof girl's name is Xing Qi..." Sun Wukong muttered.

"Just tell the monkey you're really interested in her!" the fat man said with a triumphant smile.

"So what if you're interested in her? So what if you're not interested in her? Can you really set us up?" Sun Wukong retorted.

"There's another match this afternoon, and we'll probably face a weaker team. Currently, Summer is the strongest team in the other group, and we'll be facing them tomorrow." Sima Yi had already stepped down from the stands.

"The afternoon's match should be easy. If we have the chance, we'll use this lineup again," Han Cheng said.

“Okay, I want to play Lanling King too!” Xu Xiaomeng said.

"I want to play Liu Bang too!" Sun Wukong said.

“I can play Nezha too,” Ye Bing said.

"Ahem, let's go back and talk about it. I'll treat you all to lunch!" Qin Li said.

"No way! Coach Qin, I'm the club manager, this meal is on me!" Sima Yi said. He knew Qin Li wouldn't agree, so this gesture would create the illusion that he was very generous and lavish. →_→

however……

"Oh, right, I don't think I brought enough money..." Qin Li said, "How about we split it 50/50?"

"Well... since Coach Qin insists, let's split it 50/50..." Sima Yi originally wanted to say he would cover the whole thing, but Qin Li actually agreed. Why didn't Qin Li bring enough money today?

Sima Yi's attempt to show off failed. Therefore, I advise everyone: showing off is risky, and be cautious when trying to be cool.

After a meal.

"Sigh, if I had known, I wouldn't have shown off. I spent over a hundred more..." Sima Yi thought to himself. But a hundred is nothing compared to the three thousand eight last time...

At Han Cheng's home.

The competition was so tiring, and I finally had a chance to rest for a while at noon, but Xu Xiaomeng suddenly came to visit.

Han Cheng had just closed his eyes when he heard Xu Xiaomeng knocking on the door.

"My God, can't a person get any sleep? I'm so sleepy..." Han Cheng complained as he opened the door for Xu Xiaomeng.

"What, are you sleeping? Looks like I came at the wrong time. I'm leaving then..." Xu Xiaomeng said, pretending to leave on purpose.

"No, no, no, sister, I'm scared of you. Since you're here, let's go inside first..." Han Cheng said helplessly.

"Are you not welcoming me?" Xu Xiaomeng asked.

"No, I don't have any. Want some fruit?" Han Cheng said as he closed the door.

"Fruit? Cucumbers again?" Xu Xiaomeng remembered the fruit Han Cheng had mentioned last time, but it turned out to be cucumbers.

"Ahem, no, bananas. Bananas are cheaper in winter, so I bought a whole bunch," Han Cheng said. "Shall I go get you some?"

"One is enough." Xu Xiaomeng thought to herself, "Last time it was a cucumber, this time it's a banana, why does it feel so familiar?"

"Okay." Han Cheng then broke off a banana for Xu Xiaomeng.

"Little Orange, are you still sleepy? If not, let's play a couple of rounds together so you can perform better in the afternoon's match," Xu Xiaomeng said while eating a banana.

"Cough cough, if you want to perform well in the afternoon's game, you need to rest more, otherwise you won't have any energy..." Han Cheng said, yawning.

"Okay, then you can keep sleeping, I'll play games," Xu Xiaomeng said.

"You watched me sleep?" Han Cheng was taken aback.

"Mmm." Xu Xiaomeng looked completely bewildered.

"Never mind, it feels weird, but I'm so sleepy..." Han Cheng lay down on the bed, not caring too much, even though Xu Xiaomeng was sitting right next to him.

"enemy-legendary!"

"Meng... can you please not play the game so loudly, and you're such a terrible player?" Han Cheng muttered.

"Sorry, it's just a habit. I always play games with the volume this loud," Xu Xiaomeng said, but then she realized something was off. "How did you know I messed up?"

"The other team is getting godlike, and you're still not feeding?" Han Cheng said weakly.

"Okay." Xu Xiaomeng said and then turned off her voice, and Han Cheng finally fell asleep.

In the afternoon, at the Pingshan City Gymnasium.

"Ha, I'm so sleepy..." Han Cheng couldn't help but yawn.

"Are you still so sleepy even though you've gone to bed?" Xu Xiaomeng asked.

"The more I sleep, the more tired I get."

"Then why are you still sleeping?" Xu Xiaomeng retorted.

Han Cheng: "..."

"Our opponents this afternoon shouldn't be too strong, but we can't let our guard down. What if we encounter a powerful opponent? Maybe some of us didn't perform to our full potential during yesterday's qualifiers," Sima Yi said. "But even if the opponents are weak, we can't afford to play haphazardly. We should treat it as a training session. Our team's current level is already close to that of a typical professional team."

"What? Our level is only close to that of an average professional team?" Sun Hou and Fatty exclaimed in surprise.

“Well, what else did you think? Your overall level is just so-so, your strengths are not balanced, so your overall level won’t be very high,” Sima Yi said. “Every member of those top teams is strong in every aspect, that’s the key to why a strong team is strong. It’s normal for team strength to be better than individual strength. The team must come first, and the individual cannot be above the team.”

"So, let's all stick together," said Sun Wukong.

“Yes.” Sima Yi nodded.

"Crush the opponent!" Sun Wukong added.

Sima Yi: "..."

-

Game start.

"Let's ban either Luna or Guan Yu, everyone pick the lineup you want to play," Qin Li said. "I probably won't be needed this game, this team wasn't very strong when I watched them last time."

"Bang!" Sun Wukong banned Guan Yu.

"Bang!" The opposing team banned Nezha.

"Damn, what are they up to? Little Orange, how's your Luna? Let's play a game and beat them to a pulp," the fat guy said.

"Ahem, the other side is probably scared by our lineup this morning. The Gale team got beaten so badly, they're probably afraid we'll get that lineup," Han Cheng said. "As for Luna, we'll see how it goes, we can take her."

Without saying a word, Sun Wukong took another monkey, but the other side directly snatched Liu Bang and Lanling Wang.

"Little Orange, you were right..." The fat man said helplessly. How worried was he that his team would get the lineup from the morning?

"Okay, give me a Luna, I'll trade with you guys later, I'm afraid the other side will take it," Han Cheng said.

“Little Orange, you want to show off Luna? Okay, I’ll get it for you,” Xu Xiaomeng said.
