Chapter 2: Coach… Please Guide Me!
Jiang Yuan froze, then got goosebumps all over!
Night wind swept the empty street, streetlights cast dim halos, and he held his breath, not daring to move.
Afraid that any sudden movement would make the system disappear…
He waited until the system refreshed with new text:
【Host: Jiang Yuan】
【Age: 21】
【Godfather Points: 100】
【Newbie Tutorial: Please use Eagle Eye to assess a female player’s potential and establish a bond.】
【Eagle Eye (Costs 10 points): Can assess target player’s potential through visual scanning or by providing accurate game ID.】
At the bottom of the interface, a small eye icon lit up.
Jiang Yuan clicked the icon, and a search bar appeared.
He didn’t know many girls who played League well, and the first one that came to mind was that jungler girl from earlier.
He still remembered her ID: “Moonlight Solo” with the memorable tag “#12345”.
Jiang Yuan entered this ID in the search bar.
【Generating potential assessment report for ‘Moonlight Solo#12345’…】

After reading the report, Jiang Yuan was stunned.
The random jungler… was actually his junior at school?
Should he bond with her?
She was his schoolmate, easy to contact, and had system-rated S+ potential… This seemed like a no-brainer.
With this thought, Jiang Yuan mentally commanded: “Bond with Jiang Ruoxi.”
【Bond successful!】

Jiang Yuan recalled Jiang Ruoxi’s assessment report and that last game, then after a moment’s thought, gave the system an instruction:
“Generate a training plan focused on improving Jiang Ruoxi’s ‘game sense’.”
【Training plan generated!】
【Intelligent Replay created】: Selected recent match recordings of Jiang Ruoxi, precisely marking key moments and simulating optimal handling paths and their potential cascading effects.
【Comprehension Amplification Aura】: While watching system replay videos, Jiang Ruoxi’s related comprehension will temporarily increase by 1000%.
The above replay videos have been integrated and uploaded to cloud storage.
Jiang Yuan immediately pulled out his phone and opened the cloud storage. Sure enough, there was a newly generated folder.
Time passed.
The night wind numbed his hands, but he didn’t notice.
His eyes were glued to the videos on his phone, even repeatedly scrubbing through the timeline.
After watching everything, he had only one thought—
The system’s replay analysis was incredible!
He put away his phone.
After telling his buddies at the internet cafe, he took a cab back to the dorms alone.
That night was sleepless as he carefully studied every video the system generated from start to finish.
By the time he finished all his preparations, dawn was breaking on the horizon.
Rubbing his temples, he pulled out his phone and activated his networking skills.
A few hours later, he contacted the women’s esports club president, expressing his desire to join as a coach, and attached his resume—
Server One Master, former youth training participant, coach of Jinling University men’s esports club.
For the women’s esports club that lacked professional guidance, this resume was practically luxurious.
The president agreed almost instantly and immediately added him to the club’s WeChat group.
The group didn’t have many members, just over ten people.
Compared to the men’s esports club with hundreds of members, it seemed particularly quiet.
The group announcement listed the regular meeting place—”Victory Internet Cafe” near the school gate.
The men’s esports club had a dedicated activity room, while the women’s side… their conditions were pretty shabby.
Today was Sunday, and according to the group notification, there was training in the morning.
Jiang Ruoxi mentioned having to get up early last night, probably for this training.
At 10 AM, Jiang Yuan arrived at Victory Internet Cafe.
Pushing open room 808, he heard an impatient girlish shout:
“Damn it, I’m lagging!”
Inside the room, five girls were in the middle of intense battle, not even noticing a guy had entered.
A tall girl stood behind them with her arms crossed. Seeing Jiang Yuan, she tilted her head: “Jiang Yuan?”
“Yeah, that’s me.”
She smiled, and as she uncrossed her arms, the necklace on her chest bounced lightly: “Let them finish this game first.”
“Sure.”
Jiang Yuan had the same thought.
He scanned the room and immediately locked onto the girl sitting in the far corner.
She was completely focused on the screen, lips slightly pursed, long eyelashes raised, her pupils like black grapes soaked in mist.
Game ID: Moonlight Solo.
It was Jiang Ruoxi.
She was even prettier in person than he’d imagined.
This game she was playing Lillia, her signature AP carry champion.
But things looked bad… the game was on the verge of collapse.
The final high ground defense fight.
Jiang Ruoxi seized a fleeting opportunity, landing a perfect Q-flash into ultimate, instantly controlling all five grouped enemies!
Unfortunately, her teammates were half a beat slow, and the follow-up damage didn’t connect.
“ACE!”
Her team was wiped, and the base exploded.
Jiang Ruoxi slowly released her lips, staring blankly at the computer screen. Her chest rose and fell slightly, but she said nothing in the end.
“Everyone take a break. Let me introduce someone.”
The president clapped her hands:
“Our new coach, Server One Master, former coach of the men’s esports club, Jiang Yuan!”
The five girls turned around at the sound.
Four of them just glanced at him without much reaction.
Only Jiang Ruoxi seriously took off her headset, stood up from her seat, and bowed properly: “Hello, Coach.”
She wore a white hoodie, and her bow was so deep that the hood slipped down, covering half her face. She nearly had a wardrobe malfunction but caught it in time.
Then, an impolite voice came from another direction—it was the girl who’d shouted loudest when he entered, who’d also talked the most during the game:
“Coach-oppa… who are you here to chase?”
The president immediately glared at her: “Wanwan!”
Su Wanwan shrugged: “If I’m wrong, I’ll apologize.”
Jiang Yuan looked at her, quickly categorizing her: pink-haired loli, bratty girl, plays mid lane.
Given that she was reasonably pretty, Jiang Yuan didn’t bother arguing with her and said:
“I’m here to coach the team, and my standards might be pretty high. You should prepare yourselves mentally.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a chubby girl with acne scars who played top lane spoke up sullenly:
“I’m just here to fill numbers. Don’t give me any training plans—I won’t cooperate. Sorry.”
The girl playing AD pushed up her glasses, her tone cold: “Changing commanders right before battle is taboo in warfare. The president coaching us is fine—at least she orders takeout.”
The support girl took off her shoes and leisurely picked at her feet through white cotton socks. After picking, she even lifted her hand to smell it.
“…”
Jiang Yuan fell silent.
This was completely different from the scene he’d imagined.
From their faces, he couldn’t see any love for esports at all…
Just as Jiang Yuan was considering whether to turn around and leave, a clear and determined voice rang out.
“Coach!”
Jiang Ruoxi raised her head, her eyes serious to the point of stubbornness:
“I want to get stronger! No matter how hard the training is, I can take it! Please guide me!”
