The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"Damn it, how dare he hang up on me?!" Chen Xiaoye was furious. Han Cheng had actually hung up on her, but then she thought maybe he hadn't saved her in his contacts or maybe he just clicked the wrong number...

So Chen Xiaoye hit him again.

"Buzz buzz buzz~" The phone rang again, and Han Cheng saw that it was his homeroom teacher again.

"Okay, it seems like something really has happened. If I hang up this time, something bad will probably happen." With that thought, Han Cheng shakily pressed the answer button.

"Teacher, I pressed the wrong button just now, please don't mind!" Han Cheng tricked the homeroom teacher, after all, this way the homeroom teacher would not only think that he did not do it on purpose, but also think that he was very polite.

Yes, it's all a routine, a complete routine.

"Oh, it's nothing." Chen Xiaoye smiled. She knew her student wouldn't dare hang up on her, but little did she know that Han Cheng was secretly pleased with himself for having tricked her.

"Teacher, is there something you need?" Han Cheng continued to feign ignorance.

"Oh, nothing much. Um, do you have some time?" the homeroom teacher asked somewhat timidly.

"I knew it wouldn't be good!" Han Cheng thought to himself, but still didn't say it out loud. After all, he didn't have the guts yet. "No, I haven't finished my homework yet!" Han Cheng found a plausible excuse.

"Homework? The homework I gave you? It's okay, as long as you understand it, that's fine. Don't just mechanically copy it..." The homeroom teacher had already forgotten how she had taught Han Cheng: "Only through practice can you master it; only through quantitative change can you achieve qualitative change..."

This made Han Cheng a little curious. What exactly was going on?

"Teacher, what's wrong? I'll definitely help if I can..."

"Waaaaah...the teacher was bullied..."

Han Cheng was taken aback. Who dared to bully his homeroom teacher? They've got some nerve!

"Teacher, who dares to bully you?"

"Anyway, just come over first. It's hard to explain over the phone, so let's talk in person. Do you know that new Pizza Hut that just opened in the city? I'm at that place!" The homeroom teacher said before quickly hanging up the phone.

"?" Han Cheng was speechless. Strange, very strange...

However, since the homeroom teacher has said so, I guess I'll just have to go, even if it means losing my nerve...

Han Cheng knew about that newly opened Pizza Hut in the city center. Thanks to its collaboration with Honor of Kings, it was quite affordable and the business was booming. There used to be Honor of Kings events there when playing games, though that's all in the past, and I don't know if it still happens, but it's not like it'll hurt to mention it.

Han Cheng arrived shortly after. Seeing that his homeroom teacher was in a hurry, he took a taxi to get there faster. His rented apartment wasn't exactly close to the city center, but renting in the city was too expensive, so he spent a fortune on taxis – ridiculously expensive! Thinking about it, Han Cheng felt a pang of pain, a combination of heartache and regret. Not only because he'd spent so much on the taxi, but also because when he saw his homeroom teacher, she was calmly eating pizza. While Pizza Hut isn't just about pizza, the pizza was still quite delicious. Not only was she calmly eating her pizza, but she was also leisurely playing on her phone, probably scrolling through her WeChat Moments.

"Nothing's wrong? Nothing's wrong at all? Then why the rush?" Han Cheng was a little angry, but dared not say it.

“Teacher…” Han Cheng said calmly.

"Huh? You got here so quickly?" Chen Xiaoye was a little surprised, then looked around and looked at Han Cheng mysteriously.

"Do you know why I was in such a hurry to call you? Just like I said on the phone, the teacher was being bullied..."

Then the homeroom teacher began to give a long account of what had happened, and Han Cheng felt an urge to curse after listening to it.

It turned out that the homeroom teacher had bumped into a college classmate here. The classmate saw the teacher playing King of Glory and offered some pointers. The teacher disliked this classmate from the start; he was a rich second-generation, a spoiled brat, the kind who loved to show off. Upon hearing his pointers, the teacher became unhappy: "Do you think you're so great?"

To continue showing off, the person remained silent, so the homeroom teacher proposed a one-on-one match, with the loser having to treat the winner to a lavish meal for the entire day.

The man readily agreed. With the homeroom teacher's terrible skills, anyone could easily defeat her. It was obvious this was a viable deal, even if it came down to a hat (or gloves, shoes, or even socks). However, he didn't agree to the homeroom teacher's initial condition. Instead, he changed it: he wanted the homeroom teacher to be his girlfriend for a month.

The ignorant homeroom teacher, in a moment of impulsiveness, agreed.

As expected, the homeroom teacher lost, and lost badly at that. However, the teacher wasn't about to give up so easily, insisting it wasn't a fair fight and that it should be best two out of three, explaining that he wasn't in good form that day (but a little energy boost would help), and they'd reschedule for another day. The other person, wanting to keep showing off and to make the teacher accept the defeat wholeheartedly, reluctantly agreed.

The "fight another day" excuse was just a delaying tactic. The homeroom teacher remembered Han Cheng, which is why she said she was being bullied and wanted Han Cheng to come...

"Teacher, this guy is going too far! He wants you to be his girlfriend just because you're young and pretty. He's worse than an animal!" Han Cheng said against his will. No matter how you looked at it, this was all the homeroom teacher's fault for causing this mess.

“Yes, a hypocrite!” Chen Xiaoye chimed in.

"So, teacher, do you want me to help you defeat him?" Han Cheng asked.

"Hmm, smart, how about it? Your teacher won't treat you unfairly!" Chen Xiaoye said, giving him a flirtatious wink. Han Cheng was taken aback; the more he listened, the more something seemed off. However, since his homeroom teacher was in trouble, there was no reason not to help. In that case, maybe if he made a small mistake in the future, his homeroom teacher would turn a blind eye.

However, Han Cheng felt a discomfort in his nose, as if he was about to have a nosebleed. It turned out he had accidentally used his rarely used X-ray vision—yes, the black one… (I don't need to explain, I'm sure you understand).

Seeing this, Han Cheng quickly stopped using his superpower. He wasn't that despicable (but he almost lost control just now →_→). "Teacher, why don't we start now and beat him up in no time!"

"Really? Okay, I'll call him right now..."

Soon, the call connected, and a man's voice came through. Hearing that the homeroom teacher wanted to find outside help, which was Han Cheng's request, he happily agreed and said that he would be there soon.

Later, Han Cheng learned from his homeroom teacher that this person's name was Xing Lei, who was the homeroom teacher's college classmate and a rich second-generation. As mentioned before, he was a very sleazy guy...

Sure enough, not long after, a man dressed in designer brands arrived. He looked to be about the same age as the homeroom teacher, who said that was Xing Lei.

"Xing Lei? A rich second-generation?" Han Cheng thought the name sounded familiar, and this guy really looked like Xing Feng's grandson!

"Could it be Xing Feng's brother?" Han Cheng thought, "Hmm, it's very likely."
