The King's Avatar: Become Stronger After Being Rejected, Don't Agree!

Chapter 44 Me? I'm a gigolo!

"Satisfied!" Lu Chen stretched, having just seen off the last member of Team Tiny Herb.

The record was one win and one loss, with the only loss being to Deng Fusheng, the vice-captain of Team Tiny Herb. Against the other players, they won by a margin of about 30% of their health.

The materials I've gathered are plentiful; not only can I make a Christmas gift for my girlfriend, but leveling up to level 20 shouldn't be a big problem either.

"Finished?" Tang Rou smiled and pinched Lu Chen's cheek. "You're really good, Xiao Chen."

"Hey, how's Sister Xiaorou doing?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

Tang Rou's expression stiffened slightly, and she looked away: "We've all lost—"

"Ugh—" Lu Chen wished he could slap himself.

Seeing Lu Chen's conflicted expression, Tang Rou couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, you've learned a lot and seen professions you've never really seen before."

"Oh, I see... um..."

"Would you mind playing a round?"

Just as Lu Chen was racking his brains trying to figure out how to coax his girlfriend, a slightly familiar voice rang out.

Lu Chen was slightly taken aback and looked towards the source of the sound. The demonic scholar walked over.

It wasn't the one we just hit, but—Wang Jiexi.

"I didn't finish the game this morning, and I'm a little bothered by it. Can we play another one?" The other person's attitude was very sincere, without any of the arrogance of a top professional player.

When I heard Chen Guo talk about these professional players before, they seemed like extremely distant figures. In Chen Guo's description, they were the type who talked about profound tactics or discussed operations all the time, making it impossible for ordinary players to have any conversations with them.

However, whether it's Ye Xiu, Huang Shaotian, or Wang Jiexi, they all give off a very peaceful and easy-going vibe.

It just goes to show that Chen Guo's fans have a really thick filter on their biases.

"Okay!" Lu Chen paused for a moment, then answered seriously.

The game ended rather abruptly this morning; it was over before I could see anything else. Even if Wang Jiexi hadn't brought it up, Lu Chen was planning to challenge him later.

The match started quickly. Lu Chen played with great focus, but unfortunately, just like when he played against Huang Shaotian before, the gap in their raw strength was still incomparable.

Before it started, Lu Chen was thinking of trying to see if he could force the Magician to use his fighting style, but now he couldn't stop him even before he could force it.

In terms of operational understanding, game experience, and on-the-spot handling, I am at a disadvantage compared to my opponent.

Unsurprisingly, the man who raised his cup to invite the moon collapsed.

"It's okay, Xiao Chen. You've only been playing for a few days, while the other person has been playing for much longer." Su Muqiu patted Lu Chen's shoulder in the void, comforting him.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood: "Impressive. Is this the top level of the professional league?"

"If you're willing, you can do it too, and it won't even take long," Wang Jiexi said after a brief silence following Lu Chen's words.

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Interested in joining our Tiny Herb team? I can assure you that after a short period of systematic learning and a lot of matches, you'll reach this level in less than a year," Wang Jiexi said earnestly. "Starting now, we'll train for about six months, and then you'll officially enter the professional league next season. I can guarantee that you'll have both individual and team matches in every game. How about that?"

Once you truly possess top-tier skills, it wouldn't be unreasonable to hand over the Tiny Herb team entirely to you, provided you achieve some results.

As for the account, for the next year, all of Tiny Herb's guilds and even God's Domain will be managed by you alone.

"Uh—" Lu Chen scratched his head and looked at Tang Rou, who was looking at him.

Tang Rou smiled slightly: "It's okay, don't worry about me. Wherever you go, I'll go. You just make the decision."

Su Muqiu, who was floating to the side, felt a little nervous. Personally, he definitely didn't want Lu Chen to leave, but he also had to admit that Wang Jiexi could offer much more than Ye Xiu could.

Opportunities to play against professional players? Once you enter the professional league, you'll have them all.

To craft silver weapons, you have to be frugal and find ways to save up yourself? Once you demonstrate talent in this area, Tiny Herb Club will probably not let you compete. You can choose any kind of materials you want and spend them however you like.

Damn, Ye Xiu is such a waste, he's been completely outclassed by others!

Su Muqiu cursed under his breath, but he knew very well that he couldn't say anything now.

"You and this young lady are—" Wang Jiexi had naturally heard what Tang Rou said, and immediately replied, "We also warmly welcome this young lady to participate in the trial training. This young lady's talent is also very high—"

"Never mind, thank you, Captain Wang." Lu Chen smiled.

"—Won't you reconsider?" Wang Jiexi sighed, his words tinged with genuine regret. "No matter what job you're doing now, I'm sure your talent in Glory far surpasses what you're currently doing."

"Ahem, my current profession—" Lu Chen thought for a moment, then said with a chuckle, "A gigolo!"

"Huh?" This rather proud and self-righteous statement left Wang Jiexi dumbfounded. A gigolo?

Tang Rou tapped Lu Chen's head irritably and muttered under her breath, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Xiao Chen brings me food now; I can't even eat what restaurants serve anymore. As for being a kept man—

Lu Chen chuckled and scratched his head, offering no explanation. He could now stroll around the streets with peace of mind, all thanks to the confidence his girlfriend had given him.

Living off a woman is perfectly fine! Others would love to but can't even get a piece of her pie!

"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you." Wang Jiexi gave a wry smile. "Of course, if you ever change your mind, please contact me anytime. My contact information is—"

Lu Chen added Wang Jiexi on WeChat with a smile: "Thanks, Captain Wang."

"No need, you really are very talented." Wang Jiexi smiled. "It seems like it's all over over there too—"

"What is Captain Wang going to do?" Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

"I've only heard my seniors talk about independent players; I've never actually seen one myself, especially a fully-fledged independent player like this. It always makes me a little itchy to try my hand at it," Wang Jiexi said with a smile.

"Tsk, so he's trying to show off his muscles in front of you, Xiao Chen!" Su Muqiu floated down and said cheerfully.

Come on, Brother Muqiu, I don't have that much influence.

Lu Chen found it somewhat amusing, but—he did want to watch this match closely.

Lu Chen clicked on the other side and watched Ye Xiu crush the little assassin. Soon he would be able to see the match between the God of War and the Magician. This time he was in for a treat.

Tang Rou smiled as she looked at Lu Chen's expectant expression, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Instead of getting angry at her boyfriend for ignoring her, she went to watch other people's games. All she could think about was what Lu Chen had said a few days ago: that he wanted to consider their future.

Well then, good luck, Xiao Chen!
