kvmb Chapter 93 Esports Club
Chapter 93 Esports Club
Bai Li thought to herself, "So Guan Cha is actually Hua Dan's student."
His home is very close to Huadan University, so he works near the school, which sounds quite reasonable.
"What club do you belong to?" Bai Li asked curiously.
Guan Cha blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense: "Guess."
Emmmmm......
Bai Li's gaze began to sweep over Guan Cha from head to toe.
Seeing this, Guan Cha subconsciously puffed out her chest and generously allowed Bai Li to observe her.
First of all, Guan Cha has a good image.
With a face of genius and fair, smooth skin, even though the two were so close at the moment, it was difficult to find any trace of pores or stubble on his face. He looked clean and refreshing, exuding a unique charm. This clean and pure temperament would surely make many older women fall in love with him.
Her attire was simple, a plain white shirt paired with jeans, clean and refreshing, without too many fancy decorations, yet giving people an exceptionally approachable feeling that made people want to get closer.
Bai Li's gaze inadvertently drifted to the side, where she saw the Pet Club's booth not far away, and Guan Cha had just walked from that direction.
Is he a member of a pet club?
Bai Li secretly guessed to herself.
But as soon as the thought popped into her head, she quickly dismissed it.
Although Guan Cha's aura seemed to match the atmosphere of the pet club somewhat, the two sides appeared to be unfamiliar with each other.
Seeing her deep in thought, Guan Cha smiled and asked, "Want me to give you a hint? It's not here."
As expected, it wasn't.
However, she was not willing to give up, feeling that she still had room to continue speculating.
Her gaze began to move downwards uncontrollably, and a charming, slightly upturned curve suddenly caught her eye.
Although Guan Cha was dressed in the most ordinary white shirt and jeans, he cleverly tucked the shirt into his jeans, perfectly outlining his amazing hip-waist ratio.
The smooth, natural lines flowed down his body, and even under such simple and unadorned clothing, the faint lines still exuded an indescribable attraction, making it difficult to look away once the eye was drawn to them.
It's hard for anyone to ignore them!
Bai Li couldn't help but secretly wonder: Could Guan Cha have dressed like this on purpose?
Knowing what makes them stand out, they deliberately show it off to others.
As if afraid others wouldn't see it.
Bai Li awkwardly looked away, guessing wildly, "Are you in the sports club?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Cha's face showed a hint of surprise, his mouth slightly open. Then he smiled, lowered his head slightly, leaned forward, and asked Bai Li softly, "Why did you guess that?"
Bai Li: ...
Because I think you're perky.
But how could she possibly tell the real reason? She just forced a lie: "Because... because our school's sports clubs have always been quite famous, right? I felt that you must have good athletic talent, so I guessed that you might be in the sports club, haha."
Bai Li herself felt that this reason was far-fetched, and after saying it, she gave an awkward laugh.
However, Guan Cha nodded very seriously, a gentle smile on her face, as if appreciating Bai Li's positive attitude: "Hmm, that is indeed a very clever guess."
But then he shook his head, unsurprisingly denying Bai Li's guess: "Unfortunately, I'm not a member of the sports club. The daily training intensity of our school's sports club is very high. If I joined the sports club, I'm afraid I wouldn't have any extra time to work."
Just as Guan Cha was about to reveal the answer, an urgent call came from afar: "Guan Cha!"
The two of them looked in that direction at the same time.
A boy came running up from a distance, panting, and said, "Guan Cha, over at the club... a new junior has come to register. He prefers to play Honor of Kings and PUBG Mobile. Can you get him into the relevant team? Don't keep him waiting."
Upon hearing these words, a look of understanding flashed in Bai Li's eyes.
All right.
Now, without Guan Cha having to explain himself, Bai Li already knew which club he belonged to.
Bai Li's face lit up with a surprised smile: "You're from the e-sports club?"
Guan Cha nodded sheepishly, and said with a hint of annoyance, "I was going to keep you in suspense."
Bai Li clapped her hands excitedly: "What a coincidence! This is fate! I was just looking for an e-sports club, can I join?"
A hint of joy flashed in Guan Cha's eyes. He had originally intended to invite Bai Li to join the e-sports club, but he hadn't had a chance to say it yet. He didn't expect that Bai Li had the same idea.
Seeing Bai Li's excited expression, Guan Cha smiled and said, "Welcome! Just register your information and you'll officially become a member of our e-sports club."
The boy, who had just run all the way here, had finally caught his breath.
His gaze inadvertently fell on Bai Li, and for a fleeting moment, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Wow! Where did this beautiful junior schoolgirl come from?!"
So he quickly added, "Welcome, welcome, junior, this way."
As he spoke, he enthusiastically led Bai Li toward their stall.
Go around the corner ahead and walk a few more steps, and you'll reach the e-sports club's booth.
Even before getting close, a strong e-sports atmosphere hits you. While other booths are at least bright red, purple or other eye-catching colors, the e-sports club is a unique splash of black.
Under a huge black awning were several gaming tables and chairs, all of which were professional competition-grade, with the esports club's logo printed on the chairs.
On the left side of the booth, there were also some limited-edition merchandise items, such as game figurines with the esports club logo and custom mousepads.
On the other side of the booth was a glass display case, which displayed the trophies and medals won by the e-sports club over the years.
Bai Li's gaze swept over the trophies one by one, and she became somewhat uncertain.
She remembered the celebration she had seen on the bulletin board outside the library that day.
— Congratulations to our school's e-sports club for winning first place in the 12th PUBG Mobile Cup for college students.
Are you going out to compete?
Bai Li's steps became hesitant, and she began to have second thoughts. She turned her head slightly and whispered to Guan Cha:
"Your esports club looks so professional. After joining, will we have to train frequently and participate in various competitions?"
She's terrible at it...
If it weren't for Ying Xiangyang helping her rank up, she would have quit the game.
Guan Cha sensed Bai Li's concerns, so he gently waved his hand, a warm smile on his face, and patiently explained:
"Don't worry, the atmosphere in the club is very relaxed and free. There are no strict requirements, and there are no activities that you have to participate in after joining the club."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The e-sports club is mainly to bring together students who love games. If there's a game you want to play but you can't find suitable teammates, you can just say so in the club's group chat. That way, you can easily find like-minded partners to team up and play together."
The other students at the stall saw Bai Li, their eyes lit up, and they all stood up and enthusiastically surrounded her, explaining the club's situation to her one after another.
Despite everyone talking at once, Bai Li still managed to extract the key information from it.
It turns out that the e-sports club is divided into two categories: ordinary members and formal members.
As the representative esports team of the school, official members will have the opportunity to participate in various competitions outside the school and win glory for the school.
However, becoming a full member is no easy feat. It requires going through various rigorous selection processes, and only those students with top-tier gaming skills can stand out and become full members.
Moreover, only formal members are required to participate in some mandatory daily training activities as arranged by the club in order to maintain their best competitive condition.
However, ordinary members had more freedom and almost no restrictions.
In reality, most students join the e-sports club simply to find gaming partners to play games with.
It's no exaggeration to say that almost half the students at this university have joined the esports club.
In some ways, it's more like a gaming-based social platform, allowing students with similar interests to get together.
And this is precisely Bai Li's original intention for wanting to join the e-sports club.
In her view, playing games is just a hobby, and playing games happily with friends is completely different from participating in formal game competitions.
If joining an esports club meant being forced into high-intensity training, she would absolutely not consider joining.
Firstly, she doesn't have that much time, and secondly, it would make the originally fun gaming experience dull and uninteresting.
Bai Li has a clear understanding of her own gaming skills. She knows that she doesn't play well, and even if she forces her way into the competition, she will only end up making a fool of herself. She would never do something that would harm others and herself.
Unless one day the Great Father of the Myriad Wheels can drop an SSR gold stat related to gaming skills for her, instantly making her a gaming master.
She's bound to go to the professional arena and show off her skills.
Unfortunately, no.
Therefore, she felt that she should just be a regular game enthusiast.
With Guan Cha's help, Bai Li successfully completed the membership application process.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Cha added Bai Li to the club's game group and asked her about her favorite games:
"Our club has prepared corresponding team groups for each popular game. We regularly organize teams to rank up or play together in these groups, so that everyone can find suitable teammates more easily."
“PUBG,” Bai Li answered without hesitation.
"Guan Cha is pretty good at PUBG, let him carry you."
Perhaps it was because the inexplicable familiarity between Bai Li and Guan Cha was too obvious that one of the club members watching couldn't help but tease them, with a sly smile on his face.
Guan Cha glanced helplessly at the group of club members watching the drama unfold, a slight blush rising on her face. She humbly replied, "No, there are many people who play better than me. Our club's official PUBG members are especially skilled."
Just as Guan Cha was adding Bai Li to the car group, she noticed that the phone number Bai Li provided this time was different from the one in the coffee shop before. A look of doubt appeared on her face, and she asked softly, "Hey? Did you change your phone number?"
Bai Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she answered softly, "These two are my numbers. This new number is specifically for going to university."
The reason why Bai Li needs two phone numbers is actually quite simple.
The social circle at school is too disconnected from what she has now.
In her real-life WeChat contacts, almost all of them are employees of her company or other executives in the entertainment industry; every contact is closely related to her work.
In order to separate her two completely different social circles and make her college life more pure, Bai Li simply bought a new phone number specifically for school social activities.
Guan Cha thus became the first person to exist in both of her social circles simultaneously, and he was also the first person to have two phone numbers of his own.
Guan Cha nodded thoughtfully, seemingly understanding Bai Li's intention. He silently added Bai Li's second number to his contacts as well.
The world always seems to favor people who are good-looking.
"Hey junior, we're having a celebration party this Sunday, you should come!"
That day, Bai Li was invited to participate in their club's core group activity.
Guan Cha explained, "We came in first place in the 12th PUBG Mobile Cup during the summer. We haven't had a proper celebration yet, so we plan to have a small internal celebration this weekend."
The other club members looked at Bai Li eagerly, hoping she would participate, and tempted her, "Many top players from the school will be there, you can meet some really awesome male gods who are good at playing games."
This time, Bai Li really couldn't refuse.
He's awesome at video games, and he's also a male god.
I don't know if it's true or not, or if Ying Xiangyang is as awesome or as handsome as him.
But Bai Li was still tempted.
It's so rare to find someone who's not only good at gaming but also handsome!
Unable to refuse such earnest invitations, Bai Li "reluctantly" agreed.
------------------------------------------
After Bai Li left, a heated discussion broke out at the e-sports club's booth:
"Guan Cha, tell me, when did you meet?"
The focus of this discussion was Guan Cha and Bai Li.
Facing several pairs of gossipy eyes, Guan Cha felt immense pressure.
He didn't want to talk about his encounter with Bai Li; in other words, he didn't want others to know.
Moreover, Bai Li herself probably doesn't like being used as gossip. You can tell from her using a new phone number that she is a person who keeps things separate and has a strong sense of boundaries.
He didn't want to do anything against Bai Li's wishes, so he simply implied that they knew each other before and had only a normal relationship, then changed the subject to the celebration.
Seeing that Guan Cha was trying to change the subject, the others felt embarrassed to continue asking questions.
After a long while, someone quietly raised a question:
"Didn't we just tell the junior about the specific activities for the celebration party? Will she be able to accept them?"
