Qiu Zhenyang once again gathered everyone at the milk tea shop that evening to celebrate their victory.

Although the milk tea shop was rented out, Qiu Zhenyang can use it whenever he wants. This was agreed upon in advance.

Because eating fried chicken is rather monotonous, Qiu Zhenyang took advantage of the large crowd and directly prepared a large indoor BBQ grill. This grill had a powerful ventilation system, so the smells of smoke and grease would not waft out which was quite nice.

He handled the ingredients and sauces himself. As for the barbecue, naturally, the experienced hands all helped.

“Today’s fight was really cool! Did you see their eyes? They were so arrogant at first, but they became like dead dogs. They even had the face to say that we cheated!” Xi Jun grabbed the skewer with both hands, proudly describing Nie Chen’s gang.

Yuan Chenyu also followed up: “They don’t even think about how bad their skills are, and have the nerve to say that we cheated? That Nie Chen, after finding out they can’t beat us, acts like a dog, and in the end, becomes a dead dog!”

Everyone laughed, and this joy was even more infuriating than getting a high score on the exam.

The happiest person today was Guan Tang. After Teacher Zhao announced the result, he taunted the other side, especially Nie Chen and Wang Lin. He could already see that the two had a somewhat different relationship, so he almost never stopped talking.

With the backing of their club, Guan Tang is not afraid at all. If they dare to do something, they have more people. Can he be afraid? Even if they want to argue, they should have a reason. Instead, they pull out such nonsense arguments, and can only let Guan Tang scold them happily in the end!

The scumbag is matched with green tea, and after receiving the money, Guan Tang never wants to have anything to do with them again in this life!

While everyone was joking and laughing, Qiu Zhenyang was watching the fire next to the barbecue, flipping the skewers on it from time to time. Ling Mu was next to him, drinking the drink in his hand. His cooking skills are really not good, unable to make an edible skewer, so he just gave up.

“Give me a drink.” Busy flipping the skewers, Qiu Zhenyang gestured at the drink in Ling Mu’s hand.

Ling Mu handed over the drink and let him take a few sips from the straw.

“Give me some spice.” Seeing that Qiu Zhenyang never used the pepper powder, Ling Mu thought he had forgotten and opened his mouth to remind him.

Qiu Zhenyang raised his eyebrows and said, “No.”

“Why?” Although he is not very fond of spicy food, BBQ tastes a little better with a hint of spice.

“You will suffer if you eat it.” Qiu Zhenyang was serious.

Ling Mu was a little speechless: “It doesn’t matter if it’s only a little, I can also stomach spicy noodles. Besides, these noodles don’t seem to be that spicy, right? The last time we went out to ride a cloud bike, I could eat them…”

He paused, unable to speak more, because Ling Mu suddenly realized that although the barbecue that time was not spicy, after being done by Qiu Zhenyang that night, he would suffer the next day…

Ling Mu’s eyes suddenly became dangerous as he looked at Qiu Zhenyang suspiciously. “What are you thinking?”

The latter blinked: “It’s the same as what you think.”

“Bullshit, no way!” Ling Mu refused on the spot, and then scanned their vicinity out of fear that someone might have overheard what they were saying.

Qiu Zhenyang sighed and said earnestly: “Xiao Mumu, modern science shows that after a complete mark, doing it is good for physical and mental health. Besides, we haven’t hit twice this week. Today is Saturday, tomorrow Sunday, and this week is done!”

Thinking of being able to spend two nights in a row happily with the person he loves the most, Qiu Zhenyang can’t wait to take Ling Mu home now!

Having promised twice this week, Ling Mu couldn’t refute, so he could only close his mouth and grab the drink bottle and leave.

He didn’t really object to that, after all, Qiu Zhenyang’s skills are quite good… But this guy is too unrestrained, and he feels like death afterwards every time! If it wasn’t for him being dead tired, the bastard would never let him go!

With endless melancholy, Ling Mu couldn’t eat much barbecue tonight.

When the party was about to end, Qiu Zhenyang suddenly received a message. He opened the terminal and saw that it was actually a message from the principal.

[Student Qiu, Mr. Zhao has shown me the video of your competition this afternoon. He proposed to me to hold a game competition between schools. I think it is very suitable. Do you have time to come to my office tomorrow afternoon to discuss it?]

Qiu Zhenyang was a little stunned when he finished, but he didn’t expect that the school would bring up such a competition first.

At present, the formal application for a competition is still being reviewed. Interstellar Academy is one of the benchmarks in the entire interstellar space – if it holds an e-sports competition at this time, it will definitely promote the development of the e-sports industry!

It’s a great thing!

Qiu Zhenyang never thought that a personal grievance could bring such benefits, and he was overjoyed for a while!

He was not in a hurry to tell the members about this, but was prepared to wait for confirmation before making an announcement. So until the end of the meeting, he was a little absent-minded.

Ling Mu and him finally packed up and then closed the store and left. Seeing that Qiu Zhenyang was always in a trance, he couldn’t help but ask him on the way back after closing the store, “I saw that you received a message tonight. What happened? Are you OK?”

Facing Ling Mu, there was no need to hide it, Qiu Zhenyang told him directly what the principal sent him.

“A game between schools?” Ling Mu was also excited. “So, is it going to be held jointly with other schools?”

This is too surprising, after all, there has never been such a competition before. This event completely opened a new door!

Qiu Zhenyang nodded: “It should be, I’m also quite shocked by this matter. I’ll go to the principal’s side tomorrow to inquire more.”

Ling Mu pursed his lower lip, and after thinking about it, he couldn’t help but say, “Take me with you!”

He really wanted to know the result!

“Okay, you can go with me.” Qiu Zhenyang had no objection, anyway, the principal didn’t say that he was not allowed to take others. Besides, Ling Mu’s relationship with him is so close, why can’t he participate?

The next afternoon, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu went to the principal’s office together. To their surprise, the two also saw another unfamiliar middle-aged male alpha in the principal’s office.

“Hello, principal.” Qiu Zhenyang greeted the principal first, and then asked him who the other person was with his eyes.

The principal introduced them with a smile: “This is a friend of mine who works in the review department, surnamed Yu. He happened to see the application for e-sports competition submitted by the First Consortium, and learned the founder of “Machine Wars” is a student at our school, so he came over to ask about the situation. I never expected it to coincide with the time of your visit.”

“Hello, Uncle Yu.” Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu respectfully said hello. Such a person from the review department can’t be neglected.

Yu Liang is a kind-hearted man. His eyes were full of admiration seeing the two young people in front of him with a smile. Although the success of the game mostly depends on the financial resources of the First Consortium, but Qiu Zhenyang’s ability to come up with such a game is enough to show his limitless future.

“Okay, then let’s talk about the school league first.” The principal bade everyone sit down at the table, crossed his hands, and looked at Qiu Zhenyang. “I watched your game yesterday, and one thing that makes me particularly supportive is the profoundness of mecha. It’s even more effective than the teaching in our school in some respects. After all, the school has to consider the safety aspect, and this kind of holographic game is much more convenient.”

Qiu Zhenyang said modestly: “Holographic games still can’t compare with real operations. The school’s teaching is really suitable for the students.”

“Haha, your game can make the students feel the atmosphere on the battlefield. It’s not bad.”

Ling Mu looked back and forth, feeling bored listening to the back and forth praise. He really is not suitable for this kind of occasion…

Qiu Zhenyang didn’t like too many polite words, so he asked directly: “Principal, when are you going to hold this school league?”

The principal thought for a while, tapping the armrest of the chair with one hand, before replying, “There are still almost two months until the final exam. If you want the students to relax before the exam, the game must be held in about a month.”

This is the most suitable time. Any earlier or later is inopportune.

This was also in-line with Qiu Zhenyang’s thoughts.

“Okay, I believe the principal will handle the other schools, so is there anything I can help with?” Qiu Zhenyang knew that the principal who called him here would not just inform himself.

Sure enough, the principal continued: “I was going to ask the person in charge of the First Consortium first, but I think it would be more appropriate to tell you. I would like to ask you to sponsor the game, and our school will help promote the game. As for the cost of the competition and the awards…”

The principal did not continue, but looked at Qiu Zhenyang with a “you know” look.

Yes, he wants to pull sponsorship.

Qiu Zhenyang laughed a little, tried his best to control his facial expression and said, “Of course this is okay, principal, don’t worry.”

“Ah, then it will be no problem.” The principal laughed.

Yu Liang, who was next to him, couldn’t help looking at his friend with a teasing expression: “Yo, the Interstellar Academy with deep pockets still looks for sponsors amongst its students?”

The principal was not at all embarrassed. “What do you know, I call it reasonable distribution. The rich give out money, those who are strong will do the same. I want to let the students deepen their understanding of mecha combat, while they can promote the game. Why not?”

Qiu Zhenyang immediately applauded: “The principal is right!”

Yu Liang: ” …”

Thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, Yu Liang still gave Qiu Zhenyang a reminder: “If you’re doing this, you should seize the opportunity. The attitude above is not very optimistic about the e-sports competition, and you need to come up with something to let them agree.”

Hearing this, Qiu Zhenyang nodded solemnly: “I see, thank you Uncle Yu.”

After leaving, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu walked back to the dormitory, feeling a little excited.

“By the way, your livestream account will also be opened tomorrow. From now on, we will set aside some time to broadcast live every day. Treat it as promoting your personal name.” Qiu Zhenyang planned the livestream for a long time, but it was delayed because of Nie Chen and those people.

Although Ling Mu is not very interested in livestreaming, he is still very interested in the potential benefits.

Qiu Zhenyang took Ling Mu’s hand and walked slowly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. “Our career is on the way, and soon, with your superb skills, you will become the object of worship for all “Machine Wars” players!”

Even Ling Mu himself wasn’t so confident, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Zhenyang. “You are so sure that my skills can be recognized by everyone?”

“Of course! Think about who your master is!” With his head held high, there is a feeling of looking down on the world.

His appearance made Ling Mu smile, and his clasped hand tightened.

Can he really shine in his favorite field?

Just thinking about it made him excited!

Mumu gets a stage to perform now.
