When the game reached the 20-minute mark, ss 8 unanimously voted to surrender. Theplexion of their five yers were pale-white, traces of fear still lingering in their eyes. When they had started the surrender vote, Tang Bingyao’s 17-kill Draven was already on the verge of ughtering her way into the fountain.
A momentter, the aura surrounding the red nexus warped violently before exploding into a flurry of brilliance. Arge blue victory screen appeared over the ruins of the enemy nexus.
“We won!” The students from ss 7 broke out into cheers. Tang Bingyao’s four teammates were also all smiles. Ouyang shot up from his seat and basked in the cheers of his ssmates as if he were a hero returning home from a glorious victory. “Haha! That was too easy! I didn’t even get a chance to show off my skills, and they already surrendered!”
Yang Fan adjusted his sses and gave Ouyang the side eye. “Yeah, that’s because you didn’t do anything. We got hard-carried by Tang Bingyao.”
“Hey! How can you say that! I ganked bottomne a bunch of times! She got so fed partly thanks to me!” Ouyang unhappily countered.
Ren Rou rolled her eyes. “Even if you didn’t go bot, Tang Tang would’ve still easily won herne.” She turned to Tang Bingyao with a smile. “Right?”
Tang Bingyao nodded. “Mhm, he didn’t need toe gank botne.”
“Gghhh!” Ouyang nearly choked. He then scratched his head in embarrassment. “Come on, Tang Tang. You didn’t have to say it so bluntly…”
With this easy win, the students from ss 7 were in high spirits. Watching the students from ss 8 leave the inte cafe in dejection, Ren Rou suggested, “How about we celebrate? There’s a barbecue stand around the corner!”
This friendly match against ss 8 was just an excuse to hang out after ss. The fact that they won was a bonus. So, even though most of the students had already eaten dinner, of course they would still go celebrate.
While everyone else was cheering, the MVP of thispetition shook her head. “You guys go on ahead. I’ll stay here a little longer.”
“How can you note? You’re the reason we’re celebrating in the first ce! It won’t be the same without you!” Ren Rou persuaded.
But Tang Bingyao adamantly declined. “No need. Just pay me my appearance fee.”
This was the second time Tang Bingyao mentioned something about an appearance fee. Ren Rou instantly turned to Ouyang, practically shooting daggers at him. “Tell me! Just what is this about?”
Ouyang immediately broke out in a cold sweat as he gave a hollow chuckle. “Ahaha… Rou Rou, no need to re at me like that, I might start thinking you have the hots for me. H-haahaha…. Listen, I''ll exin it to youter. Yeah, for sure,ter!”
The students from ss 7 gradually left the inte cafe, still in hot discussion about the match. Ouyang’s voice reached over all as he proudly stated how his ganks were the reason Tang Bingyao dominated herne, and the game.
Meanwhile, Tang Bingyao stayed behind, as did Lin Feng. This was because his interest in the barbeque couldn’tpare to his interest in this girl. He watched her sit back down in front of herputer. It looked like she nned to continue ying. So, he plopped down in the chair next to her and enthusiastically greeted, “Hi! You were really good!”
Tang Bingyao looked at Lin Feng, slightly confused, before saying, “Oh, you’re the new transfer student.” Finding his eyes locked onto her, she stared back at him and asked, “Can I help you with something?”
“Are you going to y another game? Ranked?”
“Yes.” Tang Bingyao nodded.
“Can I watch?” Lin Feng asked, his voice bubbling over with excitement.
Tang Bingyao shook her head. “No. I don’t like it when people watch me y.”
“But, just now...” Lin Feng frowned.
“That’s because I was being paid,” Tang Bingyao patiently exined.
“Oh! So if I pay you a viewing fee, does that mean I can watch you y ranked?”
Tang Bingyao thought for a moment before sticking up two fingers. “￥20.”
“￥20…?” Lin Feng rummaged through his pockets, but he only pulled out a ￥5 note and a few ￥1 coins. He frowned. “I forgot to bring money with me…”
Tang Bingyao nodded. Then, she stared at Lin Feng, patiently waiting for him to leave.
However, Lin Feng’s butt showed no signs of moving. He suddenly thought of something and happily suggested, “How about we 1v1? If I win, you let me watch!”
Tang Bingyao wrinkled her brows. “￥40 fee.”
“If I lose, I’ll pay you ￥40. If I win, you’ll let me watch. How does that sound?”
Tang Bingyao frowned. “But you don’t have ￥40.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t lose!” Lin Feng pounded his chest.
Tang Bingyao kindly reminded him, “I’m really good at this game.”
Lin Fengughed. “I am too!”
?
After some more back and forth, the two came to an agreement. They created a lobby and both picked an ad-carry. Tang Bingyao yed on the blue team. She chose Draven again, while Lin Feng went with Caitlyn.
ording to the standard rules of a 1v1, the winner was the yer who got first blood, reached 100 creep score first, or destroyed the enemy’s tower. Lin Feng fulfilled the third condition seven minutes into the game. He achieved his victory through slow and methodical pushing.
“I won!” Lin Feng eximed in delight as the enemy’s tower copsed into a pile of rubble.
Tang Bingyao stared at the ruined tower in a daze. She rubbed her eyes, not sure she could believe them. It felt like the match ended before it had even started.
“Hey, hey! I won the bet! That means I can watch you y, right?” Lin Feng happily eximed.
Tang Bingyao snapped out of her daze. She stared at Lin Feng, looking him up and down. “You’re really good,” she finally said.
“Of course I am! Didn’t I tell you?” Lin Feng proudly harrumphed.
“No, you’re really good. Like, way better than I am.” Tang Bingyao shook her head. “Since you’re already so good, why do you want to watch me y?”
This was a reasonable question. Lin Feng rubbed his chin for a bit, then replied with a smile, “That’ll cost you an answer fee!”
“Answer fee…?” Tang Bingyao asked in a daze. “How much?”
Lin Feng stuck out one finger with a solemn expression. “￥1 million!”
