The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"Hey, Little Orange is here!" Fatty realized that Liu Guaiguai and Han Cheng had greeted each other, and Han Cheng had returned the greeting. They were so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't even know Han Cheng had arrived.

"Yeah, and Fatty too. I see Liu Guaiguai and Xiao Chengzi... hehehe..." Sun Wukong chuckled mischievously.

"You mean, those two are having an affair?" The fat man asked, resting his chin on his hand.

"Haha, I didn't say that, but I think this Liu Guaiguai probably likes Xiao Chengzi. Look at the way she looks at Xiao Chengzi and her attitude towards Xiao Chengzi, it's pretty much a done deal..." Sun Wukong pretended to be profound.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that's really the case. Looks like I'm still too naive..." the fat man muttered.

So, a moment later.

Liu Guaiguai sat down next to Han Cheng. Of course, if she didn't sit next to Han Cheng, who else would she sit next to? They were classmates, so she started packing her things.

"Hello, you two." Fatty and Sun Hou ran over and greeted Han Cheng and Liu Guaiguai.

"Hello everyone..." Liu Guaiguai said with a wry smile.

"Did you hear the news yesterday?" Sun Wukong asked. "I never imagined there was an underground casino under the karaoke bar I frequent..."

"The monkey regrets not going down there back then..." the fat man muttered.

"Tsk tsk, it seems the monkey is quite envious of prison life..." Han Cheng muttered.

"By the way, Zhao Yun got a new skin, have you guys bought it yet?" Sun Wukong suddenly remembered.

"I bought it a long time ago," the fat man said smugly. "It was only seventy-one yuan."

"I tried my friend's Zhao Yun skin, the one I used, and I didn't like it, so I didn't buy it," Han Cheng said.

"I think I've heard of this skin before, and every time I log into Honor of Kings it reminds me to buy it..." Liu Guaiguai muttered.

"Even a well-behaved academic genius plays King of Glory?" Sun Wukong was quite surprised. He was indeed a well-behaved student, but Sun Wukong, being the cunning monkey he was, called him an academic genius in order to get closer to him.

"Yeah, but I'm not very good at it either, I play really badly..." Liu Guaiguai muttered.

"Then let's play a game together," said Sun Wukong.

"Huh? Now?" Liu Guaiguai was clearly not very interested in playing.

"Now is fine, if you have time..."

"I don't have time right now."

"It's the weekend," Sun Wukong persisted.

"It seems there are plans in place..."

Sun Wukong seemed to realize that Liu Guaiguai didn't seem to want to play with him, so he wisely stopped mentioning it.

"By the way, when will our armbands and stuff be ready?" Sun Wukong quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, probably tomorrow or the day after, no rush," Han Cheng said.

"What kind of armband?" the obedient girl asked curiously.

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that Xiao Chengzi designed the team uniforms for us, and then she also designed exclusive armbands and chest badges for us to distinguish us," the fat man said.

"You designed it yourself?" Liu Guaiguai looked at Han Cheng with surprise.

"Uh...yeah..." Han Cheng was also a little helpless. It seems that being too talented is not a good thing, as it attracts too much attention.

Liu Guaiguai cast an approving glance at her, "It seems you're not only good at studying and playing games, but also a talented person."

"That's right, you haven't seen Xiao Chengzi's posts on her social media. Most of them are poems she wrote herself, and her literary talent is unmatched," the fat man said.

"Really? Then, Han Cheng, would it be convenient for you to give me your QQ number?" Liu Guaiguai asked tentatively.

"Ahem, sure," Han Cheng said. "Shall the little one read to you?"

"OK."

So, through Fatty and Monkey's connection, Liu Guaiguai successfully obtained Xiao Chengzi's QQ number...

-

At noon, the group arrived at the e-sports association as usual to take on the challenge, even though they were likely to lose to the e-sports association again this time.

After a midday battle, the esports association's team has become even stronger.

Han Cheng realized that Liu Ruchi was related to Cui Qinchuan, who was the president of the e-sports association. It was normal for Liu Ruchi to make things difficult for him after being tricked so badly by them. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to join the e-sports association this year.

Around 1 p.m., the group appeared in front of the e-sports association as usual, looking dejected. They had lost again.

"Why is the team they sent this time so strong? I feel like we could have won against the ones we encountered before if we played well, but this time, tsk tsk, even if we play well, it's really hard to say," Sun Hou said.

"Hmm, who knows what kind of crazy team they sent, they're so strong..." the fat man muttered.

Han Cheng felt a sense of familiarity; this team was very similar to the one he had faced off against in the underground casino last time. Moreover, he and Qin Li probably only knew the reason why the opposing team had suddenly become stronger.

-

school.

Han Cheng's life these past few days has basically consisted of home, school, e-sports association, school and home again. He felt utterly bored. The world is not just about the present hardships; there is also poetry and distant places to explore!

However, Han Cheng didn't know where poetry and distant places were; all he had was the mundane reality before him.

"Sigh." Han Cheng lay on the table, watching the live broadcast of the game. Evening self-study was so boring, so this was all he could do. He was a big data user, so besides playing games, he could only watch live broadcasts.

"Han, why don't you study?" Liu said.

"Yeah," Han Cheng said, continuing to watch the live stream.

“Then I’ll watch it too,” Liu Guaiguai said.

"Okay, let's go together, but won't that affect your studies?" Han Cheng asked.

"No, no, I already understand what the teacher taught today, and I've finished all my homework," Liu Guaiguai said with a smile.

So the two of them huddled together, heads touching, to watch the live stream.

Behind them, a pair of envious eyes were staring at them.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous? Are you jealous?" Song Ziyi asked Xu Xiaomeng.

"No way, how could I be jealous? How could I be so jealous?" Xu Xiaomeng said, but her tone clearly revealed jealousy and sourness...

"Mengmeng, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have insisted on sitting at the same table as you. But you're the only person I know in this class, and I couldn't just have a stranger as my deskmate..." Song Ziyi looked remorseful. "I'm so sorry for separating you two..."

"No, not at all," Xu Xiaomeng said.

"Huh? Don't you love him anymore? You want to give him up?" Song Ziyi was somewhat taken aback.

"No, how could that be? Someone like him is hard to find these days. I can't miss out, no, I can't let this opportunity slip by..." Xu Xiaomeng said, "Then I'll just have to fight him for it with his deskmate..."

"Steal? How would you steal them? They're deskmates, they spend more time at school than at home, and most of their time at school is spent in class... They spend a lot of time together..." Song Ziyi laughed.
