Chapter 879: Come on

"Holy shit, Foot God? Still not sleeping this late?"

Meiko noticed the curtain had been lifted, looked up, saw Liang Yan, greeted him, and casually took off one side of her headset so she could hear Liang Yan speak.

"Can't sleep much, came out for a walk."

Liang Yan raised his hand to greet everyone from EDG, hands in pockets, stood beside Meiko, glanced twice at the game screen on the other side, and smiled: "You guys, though—don't you have a match tomorrow? Practicing this late, aren't you worried about your condition?"

"No problem, I'm used to it." Meiko lifted her face and smiled; her face was indeed fair and clean, with not a trace of dark circles.

I suppose she's just gotten used to staying up late.

To recover from the reputational damage EDG suffered from the "Hulu Island incident," after arriving in Wuhan, Abu demanded EDG players add an extra hour of practice each night, then added another, so EDG's training time extended from the usual 9 a. m. to 12 p. m. to 9 a. m. to 2 a. m.

They're putting in the effort, but the results……

It's almost "clock-out" time now, EDG isn't conducting any secret training, so naturally they don't mind Liang Yan observing.

Moreover, does EDG still have anything to hide from VG?

Nofe, sitting in the coach's seat accompanying the team, also waved and smiled at Liang Yan, actually taking the initiative to greet him.

Liang Yan smiled and nodded in response, then lowered his head to look at Meiko's screen and started chatting casually with Meiko.

"How are you planning to play tomorrow?"

"Just normally." Meiko wore a half-side headset, her hands busy operating, while replying to Liang Yan: "Besides, didn't we learn a few moves from your Speed Learning Sword Technique? I'm practicing them today too—I'll probably pull them out and give them a try."

"Hmm." Liang Yan paused, then asked: "Are you confident?"

Meiko fell silent for a few seconds, suddenly turned her head to glance at Liang Yan, then turned away again, with an enigmatic laugh: "Haha, what do you think? Do you think we have confidence?"

Liang Yan smiled without speaking.

Meiko obviously knew Liang Yan wouldn't answer, continued: "Hey, seriously, Foot God, what do you think—can we win?"

"Definitely we can."

Liang Yan answered like that, and could only answer like that.

Meiko fell silent for a few seconds, then shifted the topic: "Hey, what do you think of my female dagger? Compared to Duan Deliang, it's not worse, right?"

Liang Yan looked at the screen: "Still a bit lacking."

"Tch. Really? Is Xiao Duan that good?"

"How long have they practiced, and how long have you?"

"I've played before—I'm very skilled with the female dagger, alright!"

"Also bringing fervent Smite?"

"emmm……"

"Study hard, practice hard."

"You're practicing now, right? By the way, are you leaving tomorrow? Going to Guangzhou?"

"Of course I have to wait for you all to go together."

"……Oh. Alright."

"Come on."

……

After chatting a few more words, Liang Yan said goodbye and left.

Returning to the room, the aunt had already tidied up and left, the unpleasant smell in the room had dissipated, so Liang Yan took clean clothes into the bathroom, washed up, dried his hair, and got into bed.

Soon he fell into a peaceful sleep.

Obviously, talking with Meiko did not affect Liang Yan's state of mind.

Liang Yan actually knows very well that EDG's match tomorrow has slim chances of winning. He also knows that what he said to Meiko means nothing.

Will Meiko erupt into a godlike state from just two words of encouragement from him and carry EDG to victory?

Will EDG, after learning a few moves from Speed Learning Martial Arts, instantly undergo Ultimate Evolution and crush G2SSG?

Naturally, none of this is realistic.

The time is too short, EDG woke up too late; even if Liang Yan wanted to help, he couldn't do much, and besides—just three or four days? With EDG's foundation, even thirty days wouldn't be enough.

How long did CNB and VG study?

Although they might just be correspondence students, they've had half a year, after all.

Even so, CNB still has no chance against Dragon Pearl. It's true that CNB's foundation is worse than EDG's, but you should know that G2 and SSG are both stronger than Dragon Pearl—at least according to Liang Yan's standards.

So EDG is almost certainly doomed.

Even the "almost" can be dropped.

Liang Yan knows he can't change anything.

But, whether he's called a witness or a trailblazer, after all, being at this juncture in the era, many things Liang Yan does are simply going with the flow.

In this life, all Liang Yan seeks are three words: follow one's heart.

Whether facing G2, VG, or people, or Lao Zhang, or Tang Anna, Liang Yan acts this way.

……

Possibly because he drank a bit and stayed up late, plus no one disturbed him, Liang Yan slept until after noon twelve before waking up.

Fu Lan Duo had already woken up, but hadn't gotten out of bed; at this moment he was lying prone on the bed, groaning from a hangover headache, and it was his movement that woke Liang Yan.

Liang Yan stretched a big yawn, threw off the covers, got up, opened the curtains, let the dazzling sunlight pour in, then stood by the window and did a few sets of stretching exercises.

Then he turned to look at Fu Lan Duo, lying there like a dead fish, and said, kicking him while he's down: "Made you drink so much—now you know you were wrong, huh?"

Fu Lan Duo weakly hummed twice, then said: "I want hangover soup, my love—go make me a bowl, okay?"

"You deserve it, suffer away."

Liang Yan couldn't be bothered with him, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and left straight away.

Fu Lan Duo shouted from behind: "One bowl of pork offal noodle soup, no spicy, thank you!"

The sound of Liang Yan closing the door was his response.

……

Coming downstairs to the hotel canteen, I happened to see Wang Liangyi sitting alone eating lunch.

Seeing Liang Yan arrive, Wang Liangyi quickly greeted him; after Liang Yan served himself lunch and sat opposite, Wang Liangyi said somewhat embarrassed: "When I opened the door at eleven o'clock, I saw you were still asleep, so I didn't wake you."

"No problem." Liang Yan picked up a piece of steamed taro ribs and looked at it, then said: "Luxuanjun wants to eat pork offal noodle soup; bring him a portion, he should be able to eat this too."

Wang Liangyi chuckled twice: "I saw Gun Brother drank quite a bit last night; he must be feeling awful now."

Liang Yan shrugged his shoulders and started eating.

Wang Liangyi added: "Or should I go get him something to sober up?"

Liang Yan ruthlessly waved his hand: "No, let him suffer; let's see if he dares to drink like that again. He's almost twenty—he should take responsibility for his actions."

Wang Liangyi stared blankly, thinking: Nineteen... not that old, huh?

Wang Liangyi suddenly wore an expression of realization, thinking to himself: Ah, so Gun Brother is only nineteen? How come his words and actions feel like those of a decades-old oil stick...

But in the end, Wang Liangyi still secretly prepared two packets of Xiao Chaihu Injection for Luxuanjun.

Well, I heard this stuff can sober you up...

It wasn't that Xiao Wang Tongzhi was bold enough to defy the "Saint's Edict," but when delivering food upstairs, seeing Fu Lan Duo indeed suffering, the kind-hearted Xiao Wang Tongzhi couldn't bear to watch.

……

When Fu Lan Duo finished a bowl of noodle soup, the Group C match also began.

EDG came out swinging and got thoroughly beaten by G2.

The kind-hearted Xiao Wang Tongzhi couldn't bear to look.
