“Did you enter the sports meet?”

Wu Tong asked him the next morning as they stretched after their run.

“I did.”

Meng Fan told her he entered the 5000 meter, shot put, and javelin, then asked her about her registration.

“I didn’t sign up.”

Wu Tong shook her head, smiling. “I was planning to sign up, but something came up. I don’t think I’ll be in school for a week.”

“Not at school? So happy? Is another brother getting married?” Meng Fan was curious.

Wu Tong smiled again. “I do have a lot of brothers, but they don’t get married in swarms, okay. I was lucky enough to be selected by the school to be a representative. I’m going to Hong Kong to enter the international ink wash painting show!”

“Seriously? Congratulations!”

Although he was slightly upset to have to go a week without seeing Wu Tong, he was still happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

He had heard of this art show as well but didn’t understand it very well. It sounded very grand and professional, and Wu Tong seemed very excited and emotional.

Ah. Thinking of Wu Tong willing to share such happy news with him, Meng Fan’s mood became brilliant!

“We fly out in the afternoon, I’ll buy you lunch.”

“It’s my treat, I owe you one.”

“No way, I still owe you several meals.”

“Then when you come back, I’ll greet you at the airport.”

“That sounds good.”

There were only two more days until the games began, and there were several students running last minute on the track that morning, more than ten times the usual at this hour.

With his validation score and his iron hero nickname, Meng Fan stood out like a sore thumb, visible from anywhere on the field. Naturally, they also saw Wu Tong who already had a big presence to begin with.

Several students from the academy had seen his stream for the mini-marathon, most of them watching the feed from after the event. After all, there was a scene where Meng Fan had slammed a popular figure in the college, Hu Ting Song. This kind of non-traditional form of mass embarrassment was not common in real life.

Anyone who’s seen it had seen Wu Tong’s appearance and knew that Meng Fan’s and Hu Ting Songs special donations were related to her.

After the mini-marathon, there was also news that Meng Fan and Wu Tong would run together. This shocked many people.

Anyone could see Meng Fan was interested in Wu Tong, yet they continued to run in the morning. People couldn’t help but think that Wu Tong was also interested in him.

They had also seen the videos from Shan Jin brother’s concert when Meng Fan’s demonic smile slew the audience. They had also recognized the pretty girl standing next to him to be Wu Tong, speculating even more.

Now, several people were surprised seeing Meng Fan and Wu Tong happily talking and laughing as they ran. Did this iron hero really peak in life and kidnap a goddess?

One of these people was Wang Ya Nan.

When Zhang Zhou Wei had twisted his foot, Wang Ya Nan, who had planned to stay and practice, ended up taking him to the infirmary without even warming up. This morning, she had taken Little Dot with her to exercise.

“Uhm, why don’t we go over there.”

As soon as she saw them, she immediately pulled Jiao Yan Ran to another area.

Wang Ya Nan knew Jiao Yan Ran was interested in Meng Fan, and when they had trained together for shot put yesterday, the more she looked at it, the more suitable they were for each other.

During all of dinner, she had not held back from encouraging Jiao Yan Ran to be brave.

At that time, she had not considered the existence of Wu Tong. Even if she did, Wang Ya Nan had genuinely believed Meng Fan’s chances of getting Wu Tong were basically zero.

Looking at it now, she had been a bit too optimistic.

Wang Ya Nan didn’t think Meng Fan kidnapping Wu Tong was such a groundbreaking thing, nor did she see any good in him pursuing Wu Tong. To sum it up, she did not see what was so good about Wu Tong, period! To her, her girlfriend Jiao Yan Ran was the most important!

Although she wasn’t excessive to the point of ruining Wu Tong’s life on behalf of her friend, but if Xiao Yan Ran really liked Meng Fan, Wang Ya Nan would spare no effort to help her.

Who would care if she was some traditional art department’s beauty, treat it the same!

Of course, the premise was that she gently let Little Dot know about the situation and see what she thought.

It was strange. Before, Meng Fan was always popular, liked by many, but this ‘like’ did not concern opposite genders. But now, Meng Fan’s attractiveness applied to the opposite gender as well.

After running, his change was too obvious!

They only had one class in the morning, so Meng Fan headed to the studio as soon as it ended. Leaving at 11:30, he didn’t even bring his art tube, leaving it with Mrs. Chen Fu, the administrator. He rushed to the waterfront restaurant; Wu Tong had already arrived and ordered the dishes as she waited for him.

After lunch, they strolled back together, heading towards the girl’s dormitory. Wu Tong went in to retrieve her suitcase before Meng Fan sent her off at the bus station.

The school bus with Wu Tong and the other students headed off to Hong Kong, and Meng Fan called a cab at the gates and went to the arcade.

He had no classes in the afternoon, so he planned to collect all the experience for [God Tiered Pitcher].

He had checked when he went home last night that in a few days, there would be a basketball arcade machine competition at an arcade in lower Hangzhou. If he could make the top three of the store finals, he would be able to enter the Hangzhou qualifiers of the CGL arcade basketball competition.

He had learned about the CGL basketball tournament. This was a gateway to the provincial championship, eventually the national championship!

Although he didn’t check the scores of the previous competitors, seeing the high scores for this event, he could easily win the award if he completed the [God Tiered Pitcher] mission. It seemed like the national championship was not far out of reach!

If he wanted to rely on running, he couldn’t even make a city level competition, let alone provincial or national.

But shooting baskets was different!

Strange to say, the shooting machines that were empty yesterday were filled with people today.

“It’s crowded, hey.”

The guy with the powdered pink hat appeared out of nowhere with a cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth. He offered one to Meng Fan. Meng Fan told him he didn’t smoke. With this, the guy stuck both cigarettes in his mouth, and they began to bob up and down as he spoke. “Do you know of the CGL arcade basketball competition? The jointly created competition by Huaxia video game super league and the ‘Arcade Basketball Championships’, who invented this machine. The qualifiers are over, and they’re about to hit city groups. I heard Hangzhou’s station opened a warm-up ground, so anyone who comes in top three could win a ticket to enter the city qualifiers. See, everyone’s practicing for it now.”

Probably because of the difficulty brought on by chewing two cigarettes, the guy took one out and put it behind his ear. He then continued while sneering, “These people can’t even reach four hundred. They don’t stand a chance. I have a brother who can reach 600 points. He entered the CGL competition and passed the qualifiers successfully thinking he could take the city championship. But once he arrived, he was dumbfounded. There were too many people who could easily score 650 and more.”

“That strong?”

Meng Fan had read over this information yesterday, looking at the advertisements for top ten arcade basketball competitions. The rest were all kinds of news reports, rarely coming across anything useful. He was so disgusted by it, and after discovering the recorded scores from the competition, he stopped wasting his time altogether.

Therefore, he had already known of the prowess of the other players.

Hearing the words from the guy with the pink hat, Meng Fan was shocked to find out there were so many people at the city qualifiers that could score over 650.

That was a bit too strong.

Of course, they only seemed strong to the current Meng Fan. In two hours when he finishes the [God Tiered Pitcher] task, it would be a different story.

“Are you preparing to enter the competition too?” The guy with the pink hat asked. “I’ve only seen you yesterday, never before that.”

Meng Fan nodded.

“Pao bro.”

The guy with the pink hat called a small guy behind a machine, waving his hand. “Take a break, let’s take a smoke. Give the machine to my bro over here.”

This ‘Pao bro’ smiled at Meng Fan then followed the pink hat guy out for a smoke.

The guy with the powdered pink hat was a picky person, so Pao bro had to take another look at anyone he called his bro.

After smoking, Pao bro wasn’t just taking a longer look; he was dumbstruck.

“This f*cking hand speed has no shadows!”
