CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 431: EIGHT-SCHOOL LEAGUE MATCH

"What? The Eight-school League?"

Lin Yi looked a bit surprised at the girl in front of him:

"You want me to represent your school in the Eight-school League held in your city?"

Lin Yi’s mind suddenly couldn’t quite keep up:

"If you were talking about playing games, fighting, or doing some tasks, I might be able to help you out if I have the time."

"But if it’s about participating in the Eight-school League, getting me, a school underachiever, to represent your school, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to you?"

"Pfft~"

Su Yan Lanyan couldn’t help but burst into laughter after hearing Lin Yi’s words.

And Banxia Liuli beside her also tried to hold back her laughter, which made Lin Yi completely confused:

"Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Just because I’m good at games doesn’t mean I’m a top student, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you."

Then Banxia Liuli explained:

"The Eight-school League isn’t what you think it is, let me explain it to you, and you’ll understand."

"This time, the Eight-school League organized by our city isn’t some kind of quiz contest but a team competition in collaboration with the official ’Glory of the Gods’ promotion."

"At that time, based on the competition rankings, the school that gets first place can receive an investment of a hundred million from the official authorities for campus construction, and each team member can get a scholarship of 100,000. There’s also extra rewards for teams with good rankings."

"And according to the competition rules, there will be individual and team matches, and the final ranking will be determined based on the total scores from both sections."

As Banxia Liuli said this, her emotions gradually calmed down.

Because at this moment, she finally thought it through and even prepared herself for being rejected; after all, she did feel she was being abrupt.

Him being willing to come here and listen to her was already very touching for Banxia Liuli.

Perhaps it was because she had come to terms with these things that she spoke more fluently:

"We’re confident we can achieve good rankings in the individual matches, but the main focus is still on the team matches’ results."

"Because there’s a spot available for seeking outside help in the team matches, which adds an element of unpredictability beyond our control."

"So I thought of you..."

After saying this, Banxia Liuli felt much more relaxed.

She looked at Lin Yi calmly and added:

"If you, Feng Hua, are willing to participate, I’ll only take 20% of the prize, and you can have the remaining 80%."

As she said this, Banxia Liuli weakly added:

"Although this may not be a lot for you, it’s the best reward I can give."

"Banxia, are you crazy?"

Upon hearing Banxia Liuli’s words, Su Yan Lanyan immediately whispered excitedly:

"Didn’t we agree on splitting it 50-50 at first? How did it become 80%?"

"If you give him 80%, the remaining 20% won’t be enough to... mmm~"

Banxia Liuli quickly covered Su Yan Lanyan’s mouth and whispered:

"I have my plans, don’t say any more."

"Mmm mmm mmm~"

Su Yan Lanyan glared with wide eyes at Banxia Liuli.

But upon seeing the determination in Banxia Liuli’s eyes, her emotions gradually calmed down.

Banxia Liuli released her hand, and Su Yan Lanyan sighed towards her:

"Enough."

"I know you always have your own ideas, and whatever I say doesn’t matter."

"Only... even so..."

Su Yan Lanyan cautiously glanced at Lin Yi and said:

"I wonder if such a big sacrifice will even catch someone’s attention!"

Probably because it was the first time using a provocative method in front of a big shot like this, Su Yan Lanyan felt a bit self-conscious, blushing slightly.

It was only at this moment that Lin Yi finally found a chance to tease:

"Do I look like someone who’s very rich?"

Su Yan Lanyan paused:

"What do you mean?"

But Banxia Liuli got excited:

"Does that mean you’ve agreed, Feng Hua?"

Then Su Yan Lanyan realized:

"What?"

"Really?"

Seeing how overly excited the two were, Lin Yi quickly said:

"Stop, stop, I haven’t agreed yet."

This remark from Lin Yi was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, making the two girls freeze on the spot.

Then Su Yan Lanyan had a "I knew it" expression of frustration:

"I knew it would be like this."

Lin Yi didn’t rush to explain but instead asked Banxia Liuli:

"When is the Eight-school League you mentioned being held?"

The two girls who were initially disappointed suddenly had hope rekindled in their eyes, but Lin Yi quickly said:

"Don’t get excited yet; before I give you a reply, I want to know if I will be available at that time."

Banxia Liuli got excited once more and said:

"The Eight-school League is the day after tomorrow at 2 PM at Ningzhong City National Arena."

"Moreover, we can reimburse you, Feng Hua, for all your travel costs and expenses over here."

"The day after tomorrow afternoon, in Ningzhong City?"

Lin Yi thought he didn’t seem to have anything scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and Ningzhong City wasn’t too far from Binhai City.

If he flew, it would only take about an hour, not very far.

Honestly, if he were to go, he could return by the evening of the same day.

The main thing was that Lin Yi had always longed for university life since he stopped studying after middle school.

Having this opportunity to be a part of it could make up for the regret of not attending university.

After all, besides gaming, there wasn’t much Lin Yi could showcase in a university setting...

Upon thinking of this, Lin Yi slowly spoke under the expectant gaze of the two girls:

"I heard the snacks in Ningzhong City are quite famous..."

As soon as he finished talking, Su Yan Lanyan proactively and excitedly said:

"I’ll take care of it, and I guarantee to make Feng Hua feel at home and satisfy you."

Lin Yi was amused by this boisterous woman and privately sent his phone number to Banxia Liuli, then said:

"This is my phone number, you can contact me with it at that time."

After ensuring some details about the competition with Banxia, Lin Yi left.

Later, during lunch, Lin Yi mentioned this to Zhang Xinying and the others, and as expected, they were even more excited than Banxia Liuli, the person involved.

Ouyang Hao even booked the plane tickets for everyone on the spot, showcasing his enthusiastic spirit.

Since [Titan Secret Realm] wasn’t open until 6 PM that day, Lin Yi spent the afternoon brushing through the [Mutated Cave] dungeon eight times and leveling up with them the rest of the time.

Even Dongfang Jing reached level 35 that afternoon.

However, as soon as Dongfang Jing reached level 35, she left the team without saying where she was going, prompting Tian Ci to joke:

"How eager she must be to check out the Floating City!"

And by that time, there was less than an hour until [Titan Secret Realm] opened...
