The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.

tol club.

"The expert said it's here... in the suburbs of Pingshan City, there's a club like this..." A young boy was holding his phone while looking around, probably searching for a place.

"This place looks so much like the club photos posted by the pro player!" The young boy examined it for a long time until he saw the big characters for "TOL Club," then realized he hadn't gone to the wrong place and excitedly went inside...

"Brother Ma, besides what we get for our prize money this time, shouldn't the other clubs contribute something?" Han Cheng asked.

“There’s only so much prize money left, and after giving it to your club, there’ll be hardly any left. I think we can only afford to buy a humidifier, but winter seems to be almost over, so we won’t need it anymore…” Sima Yi said. “And what about security guards? We don’t need them for now. Cough cough, and what about that other stuff… Let me see my notebook…” Sima Yi said, taking out the small notebook from his inner pocket.

"Club car? We can skip that. Buying a cheap one would lower our club's image, and buying an expensive one would be unaffordable. Besides, there aren't enough cars for me and Coach Qin to fit everyone... As for the agent, we've only participated in one competition, so we don't need one for now. We can discuss the rest later..." Sima Yi muttered.

"So you're not adding anything?" Han Cheng asked.

"Well, it seems we haven't celebrated the New Year yet, so let's buy a humidifier first!" Sima Yi said, crossing out the word "humidifier" from his notebook. "But, I'm not trying to be mean, Xiao Han, but your standards are a bit too high. Why do you need a humidifier? Is the club that dry?"

Han Cheng only wants to post one update right now: Sweating.

I never expected Sima Yi to be so talkative...

"Maying?" Suddenly, a voice rang out. Han Cheng and Sima Yi both looked towards the club entrance. The voice sounded a bit unfamiliar.

"Please come in. Who are you?" Sima Yi also looked puzzled, but Han Cheng had already guessed something. This person might be the God of Waves?!

"I'm here to join your team. I was recommended by the legendary 'Knight'!" came the reply from a young boy.

"Brother Ma, this is the guy I was talking about who wants to join our team," Han Cheng said. "You're Lang Shen, right?"

“That’s right,” the boy replied. “Actually, my real name is Gu Haifeng!”

"Gu Haifeng? Hmm, I'm Sima Yi, the club manager. Since you want to join our team, we welcome you," Sima Yi said. "Xiao Han already told you, right? It's just that you can only be a substitute for now."

“I already said that!” Gu Haifeng said. “Um, is the great master’s surname ‘Han’?”

"Yes, Han Cheng, hello!" Han Cheng said, standing up and extending his hand to shake hands with Gu Haifeng.

"Haha, hello Han Shen!" Gu Haifeng laughed. Han Cheng carefully sized up Gu Haifeng, who seemed to be a year or two younger than him, probably under eighteen. Signing the contract would likely be difficult, since what parent would want their son to participate in some game competition...

Also, Gu Haifeng looks like a cute little boy, but Han Cheng still thinks he's not as handsome as himself...

"Han Cheng, the 'Cheng' in 'honesty'! Not 'god'!" Han Cheng said.

"I know, I know. Han Shen, you're a god. Calling you by your name directly isn't respectful. This is good!" Gu Haifeng laughed.

"Hmm, that's good, very assertive." Sima Yi was smoking a cigarette, and Han Cheng felt that Sima Yi looked exactly like a certain meme, a person holding a cigarette, "That's good, very assertive."

“Okay, this one will do…” Han Cheng said.

"Ahem, since you want to join us, you'll have to pass a test first," Sima Yi said. "Also, judging from your appearance, you're no more than 16 years old, right?"

"I'm 18," Gu Haifeng said. Han Cheng was surprised; was he older than him?

"Already 18? Great, then the contract is no problem. As long as you pass the assessment, you can sign a contract and join our club," Sima Yi said. "But you're not exactly growing up fast enough!"

“I look young,” Gu Haifeng said.

“Then we can begin,” Sima Yi said. “The rules are simple. I’ll play this hero, and you can play whichever you’re most familiar with. After you reach level four, engage in a head-on fight. If you can take down 70% of my health, you win. If I kill you, you lose.”

"This is the test?" Gu Haifeng was taken aback. Sima Yi chuckled to himself, thinking that Gu Haifeng was worried that his skills were too poor, which was why he was stunned.

“That’s right, we can begin now,” Sima Yi said.

"Is it here?" Gu Haifeng asked.

"Let's go to the training room," Sima Yi said calmly. Seeing Sima Yi's posture, Han Cheng thought to himself that Gu Haifeng's Han Xin was so bad, even misusing the second skill, that Sima Yi was probably going to play Ying Zheng. Forget about taking down 70% of Sima Yi's health; he'd probably have a hard time even touching him, just getting kited to death...

The TOL training room.

"Little Ma, what's this?" Sun Wukong asked.

“I’m testing that Xiao Chengzi who said he wanted to join our club,” Sima Yi said.

"Really?" Xu Xiaomeng said, "He's a cute little boy!"

When Gu Haifeng saw Xu Xiaomeng, this strange older sister, he blushed a little. This was the first time he had ever met such a strange older sister...

However, it seems Xu Xiaomeng isn't as old as Gu Haifeng...

"Turn on the projection screen, Xiao Chengzi, watch his movements and actions in a bit," Sima Yi said.

"Hmm," Han Cheng replied, thinking to himself, "So solemn? But I did as instructed anyway. I'll probably encounter this situation again in the future, and once the TOL team becomes famous, I expect even more and more people will want to join..."

“Let’s begin!” Sima Yi said, pointing to a seat for Gu Haifeng and gesturing for him to sit down. Sima Yi also sat down.

"Let's watch the show! Let's watch the show!" Sun Wukong and Fatty quickly moved chairs and found a comfortable place to sit down and watch the show.

"Watching a show?" Gu Haifeng was somewhat surprised.

“Ignore them, that’s just how they are,” Sima Yi said.

"Alright then, shall I add you as a friend, Manager?" Gu Haifeng asked.

“Yes, ‘tol: Miracle’, the middle one is a colon,” Sima Yi said.

"Row……"

"Your name is 'Rebellious Wanderer God'?" Sima Yi asked.

Han Cheng sensed something was wrong. Why was the word "rebellious" still there? He looked and sure enough, it was there. He figured he must have misread it last time…

A moment later, the two began their battle.

"In heaven and on earth, I alone am supreme!" Sima Yi instantly chose Ying Zheng.

"Can I use Bodhidharma?" Gu Haifeng asked.

"Whatever." Sima Yi said confidently.

"Shouldering all responsibilities, holding fast to the original aspiration!" Gu Haifeng chose the reworked Bodhidharma.

"Cough cough, it seems like Brother Ma is full of confidence. This newcomer is probably going to lose..." Fatty and Sun Wukong muttered to each other.

"Not necessarily, what if it ends in a draw?" Sun Wukong said.

"Why did it end in a tie?" the fat man asked, puzzled.

“I have a different opinion from yours, so let’s make a bet, fifty!” Sun Wukong said.

"Afraid of you?" the fat man said confidently. "I bet Little Ma will win."

“I bet Little Ma will lose,” said Sun Wukong.

"Snap!" Two fifty-yuan bills appeared on the table.
