I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 256 I'm willing to do anything! I'll even pay tuition!

"Our final is about to begin! Who will win the championship, Tang Zhi or Su Pengyi?"

Tang Zhi walked onto the stage and looked at Su Pengyi in front of her. Her eyes seemed calmer, and she seemed to be relaxed.

Su Pengyi smiled and asked, "I didn't expect it to be you in the finals, Tang Zhi. Are you ready?"

Tang Zhi turned and went to her seat, replying indifferently, "Enough with the nonsense."

"Tsk tsk..."

Su Pengyi clicked his tongue. Seeing that Tang Zhi was so tactless, he decided not to say anything more.

Su Pengyi sat down and chose his signature character, the one who had dominated the entire match yesterday. After all, it was the finals, and he had to give it his all.

Tang Zhi, on the other hand, leisurely popped a piece of chewing gum into her mouth before starting to select people.

The final match officially began. Su Pengyi knew that Tang Zhi used a more aggressive offensive style, so he started very conservatively, waiting for a counter-attack...

"Ok?"

After a while, Su Pengyi frowned in puzzlement, wondering if Tang Zhi had changed tactics. Why wasn't she as aggressive as before?

Time ticked by, and Su Pengyi grew impatient, initiating an attack.

Tang Zhi, on the other hand, was adept at both offense and defense, and no matter what moves Su Pengyi used, he couldn't gain the upper hand...

"Tsk... what's going on..."

Su Pengyi sensed something was wrong. The person he was fighting seemed to have changed. Wasn't Tang Zhi controlling him?

How...is that amazing?

Am I about to be soloed without taking any damage?

Su Pengyi's expression grew increasingly serious and tense; cold sweat even trickled down his forehead, and he felt himself becoming drenched in sweat.

The pressure Tang Zhi was putting on him was immense, making it hard for him to breathe. It was the first time he had ever felt this kind of pressure!

Tang Zhi, on the other hand, seemed unaffected, leaning back in her chair with a calm expression.

It seemed like they weren't treating this as a real competition at all, but rather as a casual game to kill time during their free time.

The atmosphere at the scene became incredibly heated, and the commentator was at a loss for words.

I initially thought it would be a particularly exciting match, or at least a close contest, but now... it seems like a one-sided stomp?

Is the difference in strength really that big?

"What's going on...what's going on...?"

Su Pengyi was so anxious that he started pressing the buttons frantically, gritting his teeth in tension.

Before the match started, he was quite relaxed, feeling he had at least a 50% chance of winning.

But now... there's not even a 10% chance?!

After a fierce competition, Su Pengyi was completely disheartened.

He finally realized just how powerful Tang Zhi was, and how vast the gap in strength between them was...

It turns out that what I saw her do earlier wasn't even half of her full potential...

"We won! The champion is Tang Zhi!"

"Oh--"

The audience members gasped in amazement; they had been completely stunned, having never witnessed anything like this before.

It's almost like it was written in code, like a script...

I can't believe this was a real person's play...

Zhou Heng nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that he was now truly no match for Tang Zhi in terms of gaming skills.

I used to be able to spar with her, but now that I'm going to have to fight Tang Zhi, I'm sure I'll lose miserably...

After it was over, Tang Zhi and Su Pengyi got up and went to the center of the stage to prepare for the award presentation.

Su Pengyi looked as if he had lost his soul, like a walking corpse...

Tang Zhi looked him up and down and said, "Take your time practicing. To be honest, you're not very good at it..."

"Cough cough..."

These words were like a knife piercing Su Pengyi's heart, causing him to cough violently and his heart to tighten...

Although this wasn't a formal competition, and the competition was quite mixed, it couldn't compare to professional ones.

However, Tang Zhi's skill level is completely that of a professional player; she could definitely win a championship or runner-up title in a formal competition...

He thought he could dominate here, but who knew he would run into someone like Tang Zhi in such a small competition?

Su Pengyi turned his head to stare at Tang Zhi's profile, gently biting his lip, lost in thought.

After a while, he suddenly spoke, saying:

"Tang Zhi, I have a favor to ask of you..."

"what?"

Tang Zhi looked at Su Pengyi with suspicion, wondering what he was up to.

As a result, Su Pengyi immediately lowered his head, bowed deeply, and said loudly:

"Please accept me as your apprentice!"

"??"

Tang Zhi's delicate eyebrows furrowed almost together, her face filled with surprise...

Su Pengyi raised his head, his face serious, and said:

"Please! I want to become your apprentice! I'm willing to do anything! I'll even pay tuition!"

"No way..."

"Please! Can we be friends? Can we exchange phone numbers?"

"don't want..."

After receiving the award, Tang Zhi hurriedly stepped off the stage, skipping the usual speaking and other formalities, as if she were afraid of being clung to by Su Pengyi...

"Eh...tsk..."

Su Pengyi watched Tang Zhi's hurried departure, scratching his head in frustration.

He was completely convinced by Tang Zhi and now wanted to become her disciple. Even if he couldn't, getting to know her would be great...

He'd never seen a girl as good at video games as him before. He remembered people asking him what kind of girl he liked...

He also said he liked girls who were good at video games, but then he thought, "There are so few of those..."

Now that he's finally found one, he doesn't want to miss out...

"Eh..."

When Su Pengyi tried to give chase, he discovered that Tang Zhi had vanished without a trace; she was nowhere to be seen...

Su Pengyi stood there, stunned, a bitter expression on his face, murmuring softly, "Tang Zhi... ah..."

Within an afternoon, the video of Tang Zhi and Su Pengyi's match was posted online and went viral...

"Who is this girl? She's amazing!!"

"[Hehe, did she type this? Could she be cheating?]"

"[The man's face turned green from the beating...]"

"【Isn't that Tang Zhi? She's from our high school. If it really is her, then it makes sense..."

The topic sparked heated discussions online, attracting considerable attention.

However... Tang Zhi and the others, who were having a great time outside, were unaware...

After an afternoon of fun, everyone was tired and went back to the hotel to rest.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran, however, cannot rest yet; it's already dinnertime...

In other words, they were going to see Zhou Heng's father.

After returning to the hotel, Yin Mengran began to carefully prepare herself, until Liu Wei called...
