Tuesday's match went quite smoothly. Lin Nan and Chen Yao were basically the strongest bot lane duo in the entire school. Even though ADCs in this version had a tendency to suddenly die, Chen Yao's mechanics could barely make up for it, not to mention that Dong An, who played mid lane, had become much more stable after stopping his trash talk.
Basically in the early game, the bot lane would be completely demolished by Lin Nan's duo, mid lane would be suppressed by Dong An to the point where they couldn't farm gold, and although top lane was mostly pressured, as long as the top laner could get experience and had a level advantage over the enemy ADC, they could pose a huge threat in team fights.
Lin Nan realized he was invincible within the school in this game!
The thousand yuan prize money plus last year's championship skin made Lin Nan earn big. From the moment he got the prize money until he returned to the dorm, the smile on his face never stopped.
This was the biggest sum of money he had earned through his own abilities!
Though if acting cute also counted as an ability, then the biggest sum should be what he got from fooling Wu Guodong.
One enhanced reaction magic could earn a thousand yuan, one temperature regulation magic had now also earned him almost a thousand, but the transformation magic and charm magic hadn't earned him a single penny yet.
Liu Xuefei seemed to be chatting well with Wu Guodong online recently. On Tuesday when Lin Nan had his match, his uncle directly skipped work and drove over to pick up Liu Xuefei to watch a movie... Lin Nan was quite envious, as he hadn't been to a movie theater in over half a year.
Although Wu Guodong claimed he liked big breasts and had no interest in flat chests, Liu Xuefei's delicate makeup had obviously captured him. The next question was whether Liu Xuefei would be willing to accept his uncle, and whether their worldviews were compatible during their interactions.
However, Lin Nan felt that his uncle might be treated as an ATM. After all, there weren't many college girls nowadays who started thinking about marriage before graduation. Dating was just dating, but his uncle was already nearly thirty and probably had his head full of thoughts about getting married quickly to appease his parents.
Moreover, given Liu Xuefei's special family situation, Lin Nan felt the two of them were unlikely to work out.
After the match ended, the five of them decided to go out for a good meal, splitting the bill.
It was the familiar Sichuan restaurant, in a familiar private room, except this gathering included Dong An.
Tu Junhui was always fierce when drinking, and Dong An was also quite the social type. Before the dishes were even served, the two were already chatting and laughing, clinking glasses and drinking beer while eating peanuts.
Lin Nan usually didn't drink, except when he was extremely depressed. Last time was only to unlock magic and out of curiosity about rum. Since this was beer, he had completely lost interest.
Xiong Da was allergic to alcohol, Chen Yao was always rational when drinking and never got drunk, so Lin Nan just honestly drank coconut juice.
Winning the match naturally made everyone happy, and Lin Nan temporarily escaped the gloom of becoming a girl. He happily grabbed meat from the table for his bowl, eating while watching the meat on the table, afraid the other guys would steal his share.
His recent life had been quite miserable. He didn't dare eat meat at the cafeteria, and even though he had quite a bit of money on hand, his strong sense of crisis made him constantly afraid of not receiving living expenses in the coming months and living in poverty.
He also didn't like borrowing money, so he could only try to spend as little as possible.
"Hey! Lin Nan! Have a drink?" Dong An held up his glass, already slightly tipsy, looking at Lin Nan with a grin. "That mid lane cooperation we had earlier was incredibly strong! Two versus four and we killed them all! Simply invincible!"
Lin Nan didn't want to spoil the mood, so he casually poured half a glass of beer and clinked glasses with him.
Beer tasted much better than rum, though it had a strange smell that he wasn't quite used to.
He drank the entire glass in one gulp, then generously turned the glass upside down to show it was empty.
"Nice! A real man!"
Of course he was a real man!
Lin Nan was flattered and felt elated. Since being possessed by Lilith, he hadn't heard anyone call him a man in a long time.
"Another one!"
"Let's go!"
He happily had another drink with Dong An.
"Nice! A real man!" Dong An cheerfully praised again.
Of course it was!
Lin Nan suddenly felt that Dong An, this guy with his delinquent aura, looked more and more pleasing to the eye. Although this guy used to always call him girly, which made Lin Nan particularly dislike him, today he decided to forgive Dong An!
To hear a few more compliments, Lin Nan eagerly got up to get the beer bottle from Chen Yao, but was glared back into his seat.
"Don't drink alcohol, or you'll act crazy again."
Chen Yao still had lingering fears about Lin Nan's last drunken episode. Being inexplicably kissed had made him suspect Lin Nan might be gay.
But judging from what happened afterward, Lin Nan was probably just acting crazy while drunk. Besides, Lin Nan was essentially a girl, so it couldn't really be considered gay.
Lin Nan sighed lightly. He had wanted to hear Dong An praise him a few more times.
If his roommates called him a real man, the credibility would be too low, and it would feel like they were just comforting him. But when Dong An, someone who had never gotten along with him, said such things, the credibility skyrocketed!
Having earned money from the competition, all five of them were naturally feeling inflated. Seeing that Lin Nan wouldn't drink with him anymore, Dong An turned to brag with Tu Junhui beside him: "Our team could even compete in the university championships! At least regional top three! If we're lucky enough to make it to the national finals!"
Chen Yao rolled his eyes at him: "Did you forget what happened last time you bragged?"
Last time his happy Yasuo almost got demoted to Bronze rank, though using this meme in League of Legends wasn't quite appropriate...
Tu Junhui always liked drinking. Last time he got rum, and now he was discussing with Dong An about buying some vodka online to try.
Xiong Da was still the same as before, except now that he had an online girlfriend, he used to always play mobile games, but now he was immersed in sweet love with his online girlfriend, his whole body radiating the sour smell of romance.
Lin Nan was quite envious. He also wanted to find a girlfriend before winter break and have a sickeningly sweet romance.
He sighed deeply. His emotions had been high from winning the prize money, but now his mood suddenly dropped considerably.
It seemed that since becoming more feminine, his emotional fluctuations had become increasingly chaotic. Often he'd be elated one second, then melancholic the next because he thought of some troubling matter.
His roommates had already gotten used to Lin Nan's frequent "face-changing opera" performances, but Dong An was still somewhat puzzled as he asked: "You earned a thousand yuan, so why do you still look so gloomy?"
If you can talk, then say more!
Lin Nan looked up and glared at him, then tried to keep his emotions stable.
"Speaking of which, why does your hairstyle look more and more like a girl's?" Dong An asked again.
This instantly reminded him of that self-righteous barber, and his face immediately darkened as his emotions exploded even more.
