Chapter 256

Since the start of registration, after ten days or so of scorching sunny weather, it finally rained.

Thousands of freshmen training in the rain on the school's several track and field grounds were all praying in their hearts for the rain to get heavier.

There was no holiday scheduled for the half-month or so of military training.

But if the weather gods were kind and it rained heavily, the instructors would still let everyone return to the dormitory to rest out of consideration for the students' health.

However, until they were dismissed for lunch at noon, it was still drizzling.

After eating and drinking their fill in the canteen, the freshmen returned to the dormitory to rest in low spirits.

Just as many people were taking a nap, a sudden clap of thunder resounded outside, and then the heavy rain from the weather forecast finally arrived as wished.

"Brother Tian, in this situation, we probably don't have to go to training this afternoon, right?"

Chen Zhuang sat up from his bed and asked with an excited expression.

"I don't know, wait for the instructor's news!"

Qin Tian took out the phone he had placed under his pillow.

As the temporary class monitor, he naturally had the instructor's contact information.

"Don't worry, we definitely don't have to go. How can we train in such heavy rain?"

Cao Mingliang, with his eyes still closed, said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tian's phone, which he had set to silent, vibrated; the instructor was calling.

"Hello, Brother Qi!"

Qin Tian hurriedly answered the phone.

He usually addressed Instructor Qi this way when they weren't training.

"Qin Tian, wait for my call for the assembly time. Help me notify the others."

"Okay, understood!"

"Hmm, hanging up now."

After Qi Hong finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

"Brother Zhuang, go around to the other dormitories and tell everyone to continue resting; the assembly time is to be determined!"

Qin Tian said to Chen Zhuang while sending a message to Xia Nuannuan.

"Got it!"

Chen Zhuang responded happily and nimbly got out of bed to notify everyone of this good news.

Before long, excited cheers came one after another from the neighboring dormitories.

On the girls' dormitory side, Xia Nuannuan also replied, indicating that she had already notified the other girls.

Everyone was cheering, and they had no more sleepiness.

"It's boring to lie in the dormitory and stare at the ceiling when we aren't training!"

Cao Mingliang lay on his side on the bed, scrolling through his phone, and yawned out of boredom.

Qin Tian had already gotten out of bed and was washing his face with cold water in the back, preparing to wake himself up a bit before looking at the news and analyzing the stock market.

"Brother Tian, Brother Tian, come online and let's duo!"

Chen Zhuang was already sitting in front of his computer, and after turning it on, he shouted at Qin Tian.

The military training schedule had been too full before, and returning to the dormitory at night basically meant washing up and sleeping, so he never found time to play games.

Now that there was finally an opportunity, Chen Zhuang's Summoner's Rift soul was already starting to stir.

"Fine, I'll ask Nuannuan. If she plays, we'll play a match together!"

Qin Tian wiped his face with a towel and responded loudly.

At this time, the game didn't have the concept of flexible queue; you could only duo or solo.

"Ah? Matching is so boring, they're all newbies!"

Chen Zhuang said somewhat reluctantly.

Qin Tian was quite speechless upon hearing this.

A Silver-tier master, truly terrifying; his tone was bigger than the sky.

After the message was sent, Xia Nuannuan replied instantly, saying she wanted to play too; she was awake over there and quite bored.

And so, Qin Tian turned on his computer, updated the game, and logged into his account.

"Brother Tian, are you ready?"

Chen Zhuang urged anxiously.

"Stop urging, are you urging my soul? Ready. What's your nickname? I'll add you as a friend!"

Qin Tian said irritably.

"Brother Dazhuang is very mighty!"

Chen Zhuang said happily.

Qin Tian chuckled, unable to complain about this ID, and added him as a friend directly.

"Brother Zhuang, this game nickname you chose... it really has a strong Northeast flavor!"

Cao Mingliang couldn't help but complain.

"Get lost, you haven't even played this game, what do you know?"

"I haven't played this one, but I've played plenty of other online games, okay? Legend, Dungeon & Fighter, I've played them all. Who chooses a name as tacky as yours!"

"Then tell me, what nicknames have you chosen?"

"Like 'Yeaonawohe' (Who can do anything to me if I'm arrogant), 'Wildly hacking a street,' 'Being rich is willful'... which one isn't better than yours?"

Cao Mingliang walked toward him and said triumphantly.

"'Yeaonawohe'? 'Wildly hacking a street'? These two actually seem pretty good!"

Chen Zhuang rubbed his chin with his right hand and muttered in surprise.

"Right? What do you say? Do you want me to pick a name for you?"

"Then help me think about it. If it's good, I'll buy a name change card when they go on sale."

"Small problem, let me ponder it. I guarantee I'll pick a wildly cool and explosive nickname for you."

"The taste of you two is really... like a turtle laughing at a soft-shelled turtle crawling!"

Qin Tian commented out of the blue and added, "Brother Zhuang, I've added you as a friend, accept it!"

Chen Zhuang and Cao Mingliang were stunned upon hearing this, and it took a full few seconds for them to understand what he meant.

"Brother Tian, I don't like hearing that. You can look down on my looks and handsomeness, but you can't look down on my artistic sense in naming."

Cao Mingliang retorted with a serious expression.

"Please stop talking, I'm going to throw up."

Qin Tian feigned an expression of disdain.

"Damn, Brother Zhuang, look at what his own nickname is!"

Cao Mingliang shouted angrily at Chen Zhuang.

Chen Zhuang nodded and opened the friend request page, clicking to accept the friend.

"'Qingtian' (Sunny Day)? What kind of ghost nickname is this? It has absolutely no momentum!"

Cao Mingliang said with a sneer.

"Indeed!"

Chen Zhuang nodded in agreement, then said with some surprise, "It really is Gold tier. Brother Tian, did you hire a booster?"

"I hired a booster? Stop joking, I'm the one who does this, okay!"

Qin Tian said with a calm expression.

The two were stunned again upon hearing this, and then naturally expressed doubt with disbelief.

Qin Tian couldn't be bothered to prove it to them, and seeing Xia Nuannuan's account come online, he hurriedly pulled her into the room as well.

"'Nuannuan Little Sun'? 'Qingtian'? Qin Tian... holy crap, so you two are doing this? No way, you're showing off your love in reality, and you have to do it in the game too? Are you sure you won't be targeted?"

Cao Mingliang understood the meaning of the two nicknames instantly and asked Qin Tian with a look of disdain.

"There are actually couples in this game? I've never encountered any. If I did, I'd have to kill them until they're super ghosts."

Chen Zhuang said with a complex expression.

"Strong strength, not afraid of being targeted."

Qin Tian said in a calm tone.

Cao Mingliang and Chen Zhuang looked at each other in astonishment and were silent for a long time.

"Brother Zhuang, can't you queue up against them in this game?"

"No, unless you play a custom game. Otherwise, at this tier, the probability of being queued against them is almost like winning the lottery."

"Tsk, what a pity. Or else you could feed them a few kills and sabotage them?"

"This is just a match; what's the use? It doesn't lose points!"
