Silicon Invasion

Song Hui's reaction was something Luo Rui hadn't anticipated, and Luo Rui couldn't find any grounds to refute his words.

Luo Rui felt a little touched; his old classmate was certainly on the right path.

Therefore, he decided to give back a little.

“Don't worry, I'm pretty strong too. If you can, bet on me to win, you won't lose out.”

“Heh heh.” Song Hui sneered, his eyes conveying, 'Yeah, right, I believe you.'

Luo Rui was filled with helplessness, but he still decided to try his best. His lips moved a few times, and Luo Rui looked conflicted, finally making up his mind after some hesitation: “I'm not lying to you, I also have 2200 points, consistently.”

“Are you kidding me?” Song Hui still didn't believe it. Although he didn't aspire to it, he knew the value of 2200 points, and even more so, the weight of the last three words in Luo Rui's statement.

Earlier, he said that Sun Gang had managed to approach 2300 points by luck, but that was truly just luck, and he quickly returned to his original level. But Luo Rui was different; he said 'consistently,' which meant that his strength had indeed reached that level, not just by chance.

That made things interesting. If what Luo Rui said was true, then he had a pretty good chance of winning against Sun Gang. Although he wouldn't say a hundred percent, he'd estimate an eighty percent or higher win rate.

But all of this had to be based on the premise that Luo Rui wasn't lying to him.

Turning his head, Song Hui saw that Luo Rui's face was full of sincerity.

But Song Hui was still a little skeptical. Sun Gang had bought himself a million-dollar machine to play at home, playing as much as he wanted, reaching 2000 points, unmatched in the entire No. 1 High School.

You, Luo Rui, a poor guy who has to scrape a five-cent sausage bit by bit with his teeth, how could you possibly reach 2200 points?

Song Hui's impression of Luo Rui was still from back then. Although it had only been half a month, Luo Rui was indeed different now.

“There's no need for me to lie to you, there's no benefit.” Luo Rui curled his lips. He had already done his best. If Song Hui was determined to jump into the pit, there was nothing he could do.

Song Hui was stunned. What Luo Rui said was right, and based on his understanding of Luo Rui, Luo Rui was quite trustworthy. He didn't seem to have ever lied to him before.

Could it be that what he said was true?

That doesn't make sense, though?

Everything has its own rules. Strength can't just increase out of nowhere, but Luo Rui looked so confident. Song Hui really couldn't understand.

Why?

“Really?”

Luo Rui rolled his eyes, not wanting to speak.

“Alright, I believe you. I'll buy ten yuan worth of you to hedge my bets later.” Song Hui decided that if this kid was lying to him, he'd have to break off their friendship.

Good grief, after all that, he only bet ten yuan. This directly left Luo Rui speechless. He didn't want to continue bothering with Song Hui, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest, wondering in his heart whether he should bet a little on himself?

But after thinking about it, he decided against it. He had hundreds of thousands of yuan in his card to spend as he pleased, and he had no grudge against Zhang Xiao. There was no need to escalate the conflict.

This matter was just a small affair, but if it blew up and the parents were called, it would be a losing proposition.

Seeing Luo Rui's expression, Song Hui tactfully didn't continue to bother him, but started chattering with the fatty in the front seat again, in a voice so low that it was barely audible, leaving the onlookers feeling uneasy and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the county town wasn't big. Even from the south to the north of the city, it was only a ten-minute taxi ride.

The Starlight Arena was as lively as ever, with students in school uniforms often seen mingling among the crowd, but those were from other schools. Luo Rui's school only had their group.

Unexpectedly, Sun Gang was very familiar with the place, leading everyone to the 'Ace Mecha Pilot' arena. But Luo Rui understood as soon as he thought about it. Someone like Sun Gang could work hard, put in sweat, and be far more diligent than others, but he couldn't be without an audience.

Therefore, he would not only come here, but even come often, in order to showcase his superior skills and enjoy the praise of the onlookers.

And then these praises would continue to drive him to practice and improve. Was this actually a virtuous cycle?

Impressive, Luo Rui admired a little, but he wasn't too envious. Everyone has their own way of life, and what suits them best is the best. He wasn't an outgoing person to begin with, and forcing himself to learn would only make him an imitation, and he might even lose himself.

However, Luo Rui had never seen Sun Gang here before. Actually, it wasn't strange. Luo Rui's one hour of game time, playing for almost two years, still had half left, so you could imagine the frequency of his visits. It would be strange to run into him.

“Oh, Sister Weiwei, you're here too?”

As soon as he walked into the waiting area, Sun Gang's eyes lit up.

The small punk with deep green hair was particularly conspicuous among a group of men, making it difficult not to notice. Naturally, Luo Rui also saw her, but before Feng Weiwei turned her head, he had already turned his head elsewhere.

Although Feng Weiwei's personality was alright, her sister Feng Yaoyao left a deep impression on him. Luo Rui didn't want to get involved with these sisters.

Feng Weiwei was sitting there watching the game when she heard someone calling her and turned around.

Sun Gang's muscular build, to be honest, was also quite eye-catching among a crowd of school uniforms, and Feng Weiwei naturally found him immediately.

“Little Gang, why are you here today?”

“Pfft~”

It seemed that the two were old acquaintances, but before Sun Gang could speak, a 'pfft' came from behind. Everyone turned to look and saw Luo Rui secretly wiping the corner of his mouth, looking at everyone with an innocent expression.

Luo Rui didn't know what was going on. His sense of humor was usually quite high, but he didn't know if it was because he was more sensitive recently, making his brain speed faster. The phrase 'Little Gang' immediately reminded Luo Rui of the Xiaoming, Xiaohong, and Xiaogang in a math problem today, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone looked at Luo Rui inexplicably, making Luo Rui a little embarrassed, but this also made Feng Weiwei notice him.

Feng Weiwei: !!!

Even in a uniform school uniform, Luo Rui's face was still very recognizable, so Feng Weiwei recognized him at a glance.

Feng Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up. Since the last match, this guy had cashed in his appearance fee with Uncle Niu, and then seemed to have evaporated from the world, never appearing again.

Some people had been asking about him a few days ago, but only Uncle Niu had his phone number. In the end, no one knew what happened, but she didn't expect to run into him here today.

She was just about to say hello when she saw Luo Rui's expression of pretending not to know her.

Although she knew that Luo Rui's appearance was probably mostly because of her sister, Feng Weiwei, although a little petite, also had no shortage of suitors. Since Luo Rui was putting on this kind of face, she wasn't in the habit of being overly friendly when it wasn't reciprocated.

The two sides didn't have any intersecting interests, so she simply pretended not to know Luo Rui and continued to chat with Sun Gang.
