Chapter 7: S+ Talent, Exclusive Quest Chain!
Wang Hao’s group sat not far away, deliberately letting out loud, boisterous laughter.
Ji Shiyun held down Su Wanwan, who wanted to get up and fight, shaking her head.
With this disruption, everyone lost their appetite.
After finishing the skewers and beer, Ji Shiyun paid the bill and everyone got up to head home.
Jiang Yuan packed three servings of fried rice noodles for his roommates. Returning to the dorm, he was immediately promoted to today’s honorary father by his roommates!
While everyone ate and asked him about the girls’ team, Jiang Yuan answered casually while sitting at his computer and opening the League of Legends client.
In his friends list, Jiang Ruoxi’s avatar was online, and so was Su Wanwan’s.
The two girls were practicing on their own.
Jiang Yuan nodded approvingly.
The two players with S+ talents happened to be the two most hardworking people on the team. Good.
Knock knock knock—
The sound of knocking came from the door.
Yu Feng answered: “Come in.”
The door opened to reveal a familiar face—Li Hang, the mid laner from the men’s esports club’s second team.
Li Hang squeezed in, looking uncomfortable: “Yuan-ge… heard you’re coaching the girls’ team?”
“Yeah.”
“Are you serious?” Li Hang moved closer, “It’s not to… chase some girl, is it?”
Jiang Yuan frowned: “Get to the point.”
“Cough…” Li Hang coughed, signaling for Jiang Yuan to follow him to the hallway.
Looking around to make sure no one was there, he lowered his voice: “Yuan-ge, how about I throw the internet cafe match this weekend? Let you guys win one?”
Jiang Yuan’s frown deepened.
After a moment, he spoke irritably:
“I trained you for two years—don’t you know what I hate most?”
“Cheaters, match-fixers—these scum that everyone condemns, what the hell are you suggesting?”
“Win on skill. If we lose, I’ll accept it. You think I need you to throw? You think they need it?”
“…”
Li Hang was stunned speechless, hanging his head.
After a while, he said: “Yuan-ge, five girls… if we play seriously, they don’t have a chance. Maybe you should reconsider…”
Jiang Yuan waved dismissively: “Get lost.”
As Li Hang was about to leave, Jiang Yuan added: “I know your playstyle better than anyone. If I catch you throwing to help your teammates, we’re done for life.”
Li Hang’s eyes flashed with complex emotions, sighing: “Got it, Yuan-ge…”
Returning to the room.
Jiang Yuan scratched his head.
These guys were way too confident.
With Jiang Ruoxi and Su Wanwan on the team, this girls’ team wasn’t weak. Even without the system’s help, they definitely couldn’t claim an easy win.
Now with the system, they were more likely to get crushed…
His phone dinged with a message.
It was a cloud storage link from Ji Shiyun containing a huge compressed file, with a note: All of Ruoxi’s recent match recordings.
Jiang Yuan downloaded it casually, then sent Jiang Ruoxi a message: “Send me your class schedule.”
After a moment, an image popped up.
Morning classes full, afternoon free.
Jiang Yuan: “2 PM, internet cafe training.”
“Got it!” Jiang Ruoxi replied promptly, even including a saluting cat emoji.
With that settled, Jiang Yuan opened a new document and started typing on the keyboard.
He needed to organize his thoughts and plan direction for this newly formed team.
Player names, preferred positions, personality traits, champion pool depth… he listed everything out.
The two players with S+ potential were the core, but their weaknesses were also extremely obvious.
Jiang Ruoxi needed to improve her game sense and champion pool, while Su Wanwan needed to control her mentality and develop team awareness.
As for the other three… their potential was too limited. In the internet cafe tournament, they’d probably only be useful as support players.
Jiang Yuan picked up a pen, sketching on the notebook beside him, various team compositions and tactical approaches clashing and evolving in his mind.
Without realizing it, night deepened outside the window.
The time on his phone screen passed midnight.
Almost simultaneously, the familiar system light screen appeared before Jiang Yuan’s eyes.
[Daily Settlement]
[Jiang Ruoxi’s goodwill yesterday: 34, Su Wanwan’s goodwill yesterday: 21]
[Total points earned: 55 points]
[Current Godfather Points: 65 points]
[Newbie Tutorial Task: Use Talent Selection.]
[Talent Activation (costs 500 points): Select an unactivated talent, and the system will generate an exclusive quest chain based on that talent’s characteristics.]
[Newbie Bonus: First use of this feature requires no point cost]
[Available Talent List:]
[Jiang Ruoxi – Jungle Instinct (S+)]
[Jiang Ruoxi – Clutch Core (S+)]
[Su Wanwan – Make Way, Young Lady Coming Through! (S+)]
[Su Wanwan – Young Lady’s Defeated Opponent (S+)]
So the girls’ goodwill could be directly converted to points.
That’s great—get on better terms with them and there’d be no shortage of points.
Then there was this talent activation. He needed to think carefully about which one to prioritize.
First, Jiang Ruoxi’s talents leaned toward comeback potential, not good for early snowballing.
Predicting enemy jungler positions was useful, but in low-level matches, its practicality would be diminished.
[Young Lady’s Defeated Opponent]—this talent was good.
When scoring a solo kill or clutch counter-kill, it would definitely trigger, placing a “weakling mark” on the enemy, providing massive stat boosts when laning against them.
And this effect would carry over to the next game.
Jiang Yuan suddenly thought of Li Hang who had visited earlier.
He could arrange for Li Hang to 1v1 Su Wanwan before the match, then trigger this talent.
When the official match came, Li Hang would face an evolved version of Su Wanwan.
This was it!
“Activate Su Wanwan’s talent: [Young Lady’s Defeated Opponent].”
[Activation target selected, quest chain generated.]
[Note: S-rank talents contain immense potential. Their activation is often linked to the player’s deep psychological and personality breakthroughs. The activation process may be challenging.]
[Quest (1/3): There’s nothing the young lady can’t do.]
[Description: Convince Su Wanwan to learn Go.]
Jiang Yuan was puzzled.
Convince her to learn Go?
What kind of weird quest was this? It seemed too simple—where was the difficulty?
After thinking, he sent Su Wanwan a WeChat message: “Send me your class schedule.”
After a moment, the message came through.
Opposite of Jiang Ruoxi—Su Wanwan had no morning classes but afternoon classes.
The timing worked out perfectly.
Jiang Yuan: “8 AM tomorrow, come to the internet cafe for training.”
After a while, Jiang Yuan told his three gaming roommates: “Help me with attendance tomorrow.”
“OK.” Yu Feng paused his game: “Yuan, are you serious about the girls’ team?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Yuan shut down his computer and climbed into bed: “Going to sleep.”
“OK~” Yu Feng yawned: “Finally you’re tired.”
The three roommates very cooperatively quit their games and climbed into their beds.
They weren’t playing for fun anyway—just to keep Jiang Yuan company while he worked, so they could keep the lights on.
Jiang Yuan hugged his blanket: “Thanks, guys.”
Yu Feng chuckled: “No problem, dog. Just don’t forget to introduce us to some girls. Don’t forget about that curvy top laner for me, hehe, hehe…”
Jiang Yuan laughed: “Got it, Feng. I’ll definitely hook you up.”
