Standing next to the river, the Harbinger of Doom came face to face with EZ who turned out to be Ezreal. Chen Mu prompted Doom to dance as though saying, “Come fight me! Come fight me!”

Ezreal cast Q on the spot while Chen Mu hurriedly moved out of the way. After about two seconds, Ezreal cast another Q. However, this time, Ezreal predicted Chen Mu’s movements before casting his Q, and the skillshot hit Chen Mu right in the face.

“Whoa, hell, why is his CD so low?” Chen Mu bustled about clumsily as he moved all over the place to prevent his enemy from predicting his movements. Yet, he only managed to dodge a small portion of Ezreal’s Qs.

Three minutes later, the System prompted.

“Among the hundred Qs that were cast, the Host managed to dodge only fifty-six of them. Objective not met. Please continue.”

Chen Mu started to focus more. What made it more difficult was that this Ezreal was not lacking in movement skills either. Ezreal could cast Mystic Shot, his Q ability, while he twisted left and right. This made it harder for Chen Mu to dodge his skillshots.

The perfect method to dodge straight-line abilities like such was to move at a right angle toward the opposite direction.

Imagine the ability as a straight line and the target, a dot you controlled. How would you move the dot away from the straight line in the shortest amount of time possible?

Yes, by moving at a ninety-degree angle away from the straight line. Chen Mu had figured out the method. However, the real difficulty lied in determining the angle at a fast speed because Ezreal was constantly moving around as well.

Testing out his method for the first time, another torturous half an hour passed with Chen Mu in his training session. Chen Mu managed to dodge seventy-five of Ezreal’s one hundred Q casts.

It was a real challenge for Chen Mu as he had to think calmly but respond instantaneously as well. Even though he knew how to dodge, it was not as easy for him to move accordingly.

[Mission accomplished. Received one hundred points. Current accumulative points: one thousand points. The Host may draw one time for your reward. Do you want to claim it now?]

“Yes!” Chen Mu confirmed.

[Ding! The Host has obtained a Height Increase card. The Host has grown taller by one centimeter in height!]

“Hmm? What sort of joke is this? There are things unrelated to League of Legends like height in the lot?” asked Chen Mu.

“Affirmative. Other than game skills, the things you can obtain from the System’s lot is beyond one’s imagination.”

Chen Mu hurriedly compared his height to the wall behind his door. Before this, he had measured his height on the wall and drawn a line to indicate his height. After comparing his current height to the mark on the wall, he found that he really had grown taller by a bit.

Chen Mu’s height was considered average at a hundred and seventy centimeters. If what the System said was true, Chen Mu was now a hundred and seventy-one centimeters. That was good news for Chen Mu.

A tall man was more likely to attract female counterparts. The logic behind it was in the genetics embedded deep in people’s bones. From primitive times, the taller the primitive human male was, the more likely they were able to protect his family and clan. Therefore, in the eyes of girls, one point added to a man’s height meant one point added to the man’s attractiveness!

It was a good draw. With that floating around in this mind, Chen Mu fell asleep happily. Thus, he steadily dealt with his exams and memorized champion stats. In the twenty-four hours that passed that day, Chen Mu’s ability to learn could be considered more powerful than the peak of his studiousness in Year 3 Junior.

After all, Chen Mu was a man of his own back then. He had forced himself to memorize all sorts of things by staying up every single day. Now that the System had arranged a tutor for him, the rate at which he learned about League of Legends each day was considerably high.

The second he woke up the next morning, Chen Mu received another mission from the System.

“Ding! The thirty times experience card should not be wasted. The Host is required to increase to Level 30 within three days to challenge stronger opponents. Success will grant you a hundred points and the same amount will be deducted for failure.” The System indicated.

Therefore, Chen Mu had no choice but to switch on the computer the moment he climbed out of bed before he started grinding unwillingly.

Since his goal was to complete as many matches as he could—and not score kills—Chen Mu started locking in champions that could push towers faster. It made ending matches more convenient.

Chen Mu found Xin Zhao in the weekly free champion rotation, and he was aware that the champion’s Q was very useful in damaging towers.

In addition to the champion’s high damage, Chen Mu had Smite and Flash since his account had passed level 12. Hence, he had no problems jungling.

Within half an hour, Chen Mu managed to complete two matches and smoothly hit Level 20 (TN: I think the author has made a typo here because Chen Mu already hit level 20 earlier in Chapter 22 while playing with Zhuo Xiaobai) all thanks to the insane amount of experience he earned that was thirty times more than what he usually got.

It would be accurate to say that the mission was meant for Chen Mu to earn more points since he was only required to play more matches. Taking into account the experience multiplier, the two matches Chen Mu played was equal to him playing sixty normal matches without any experience point boosters.

However, what the System said was true. The opponents that Chen Mu was getting matched up against were slowly getting stronger. As Chen Mu continued on playing, the number of players who fought against towers grew less with each match.

During breakfast, when Chen Mu saw Chen Yifei, Chen Mu contemplated whether he should teach her some of the System’s lessons.

If he could teach her what he learned, it would improve her playing skill greatly. However, if it was going to cause her results to continue plummeting because she kept on gaming, then the amount of stress that she would feel in Year 3 Senior would be unbearably high.

After giving it another long thought, Chen Mu decided that it would suffice for him to accompany her to play a few games whenever he was free.

As for the question of whether studying was useful, everyone should have the right to retain their own opinions on it. Nevertheless, Chen Mu firmly believed that studying was useful because he managed to earn himself a lot of benefits just by studying.

The huge sum of money the school’s scholarship provided nearly came up to half of his Old Ma’s annual income as a cashier. Without that money, the house that they were living in might have been sold in exchange to cover the siblings’ school fees and living expenses.

The country was not stupid either. After investing hundreds of millions of yuan in the country’s education system, would they want to produce a bunch of low skilled workers that only had high marks?

Of course not. Yet, skills were not something that could be recognized especially if one said, “I have the skills but I don’t know how to sit for exams.”

Everyone was presented with an equal opportunity to do the same thing through exams.

However, did that mean if you were good in your exams you were absolute trash at doing other things? It did not. Therefore, Chen Mu still wished that Chen Yifei returned to her studious self in the past.

When Chen Mu arrived at school, he coincidentally bumped into Lu Ren. Chen Mu noticed that his face was filled with a tired paleness and he asked concernedly, “Did you watch the championship too? You don’t look so good.”

“Nah, a local 3D animation was released yesterday. I waited until midnight before it was updated. By the time I finished watching it… I can only say this, eight out of every ten locally-produced 3D animations suck.” Lu Ren who had his glasses on looked aggrieved. He had an uncontested love for animation. Therefore, whenever he thought about local animation productions, he felt particularly angry at the industry’s misfortune and sorrowful at its disappointment.

“Normally, I don’t watch 3D animations. So, I’m not sure I understand what you said,” replied Chen Mu.

“Huh? It’s a pity that you don’t watch 3D,” said Lu Ren.

“There’s no harm if you don’t know about it. Let’s go to class,” said Chen Mu. Chen Mu was genuinely surprised that such a naive child existed in Year 3 Senior. Chen Mu was embarrassed to think about it as he wondered why images of chests and legs kept popping up in his mind alongside his studies and League. What a sin!

Yet, his one true life goal was to leave his single life behind once he graduated and become a real man. If it was not for the System, he guessed he would have been able to achieve it this time around.

Chen Mu fumed in his seat.

“Ding! The Host is about to participate in a cybercafe tournament and requires intense training. Please give up on meaningless self-study sessions at night and use that time to train in real combat.” The System’s notification left Chen Mu dumbfounded.

Did that mean… Was the System saying that Chen Mu should play truant?

‘What should I do? F**k me. In my whole life, I’ve never played truant before!’

Chen Mu lapsed into deep contemplation.
