Red Wen, born in the 00s: Rectifying the King's Canyon

Chapter 166 The Demon's Mark

The next morning, Gu Lin'an was awakened by a crisp sound in his mind.

【Ding】

[Host's rage meter is full. Draw a new keyword?]

Gu Lin'an yawned and opened his sleepy eyes, not surprised by what he saw.

Yesterday, when playing DRG, he absorbed a lot of rage points, and with a short essay, obtaining the relevant entries was a breeze.

Gu Lin'an murmured to himself, "Draw a new entry."

The lucky wheel begins to spin and eventually stops at a certain point on the pointer.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the entry: Lick a tranquilizer, and you will gain eternal life.]

[Licking the host grants eternal life: The more teammates lick the host, the stronger their abilities become, potentially increasing their overall attributes by up to 15%.]

When the cat-licking level reaches 20%, teammates will benefit by 5%.

When the cat-licking level reaches 50%, teammates will benefit by 10%.

[When your licking level reaches 100%, your teammates will benefit by 15% (They say licking dogs will end up with nothing, so why don't you become a licking cat? The sacred flame shines brightly, the sacred flame glows, all my disciples, meow meow meow meow.)]

Gu Lin'an's eyes lit up as he looked at the introduction provided by the system; this entry had come at just the right time.

After two matches, Gu Lin'an had already realized that it would be very difficult for Nuo Zai and the others to win the Silver Dragon Cup given their current strength.

There are significant problems with their coordination and operations.

Honor of Kings is a five-player game. Just like the last game against DRG, the early game was already going well, but in the mid-game, Bai Shou A Gai still managed to bring it back.

If it weren't for Meng Lei's spirit possessing him, he might have had to work overtime.

The next match is against HG. He is very confident in himself, but the situation on the field can change in an instant, and even a small mistake can lead to a counterattack.

This entry doesn't improve his own abilities, but it helps his teammates, so he's still happy.

Zhongyi, Changsheng, and Yinuo are already his henchmen. He only needs to find an opportunity to assimilate Xuanran and Cat.

Afterwards, Gu Lin'an sacrificed the entry "My cerebellum is above yours," and the bell returned to peace after consuming the entry.

Gu Lin'an glanced at the time; it was already close to 2 PM, and Nuo Zai and the others hadn't called him.

After yesterday's match, Coach Milk Tea allowed them to get a good night's sleep today, but they must get up before 2 PM. Today's match is HG vs. Beijing WB, and they need to observe carefully.

Thinking of this, Gu Lin'an's lips curled into a wicked smile.

Gu Lin'an tiptoed to Yi Nuo's room and found him fast asleep, as quiet as a sleeping kitten, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Get up, you little sleepyhead."

Gu Lin'an chuckled, took out a small bottle of yogurt he had prepared beforehand, unscrewed the cap, poured it into his hand, and drew a big cat on Yi Nuo's face.

Yinuo's little face seemed to sense something, it twitched slightly, she fanned herself with her hand, and continued sleeping.

"Aren't you awake yet, kid?" Gu Lin'an was taken aback, and finally added a pair of cat ears to Yi Nuo's face.

Tsk tsk tsk, mission accomplished.

Gu Lin'an admired his masterpiece and was about to finish when he heard footsteps behind him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin'an acted like a child about to be caught doing something wrong, hurriedly putting away his tools and screwing the yogurt lid tightly into his pocket.

Xuanran entered Yi Nuo's room, intending to remind him to get up, but found Gu Lin'an acting suspiciously, not knowing what to do.

He looked closely and his jaw dropped.

From this angle, you can see the bulge under Gu Lin'an's body, and white unidentified liquid all over his hands and Yi Nuo's face.

This is absolutely shocking! You two aren't hiding anything anymore? The door wasn't even closed...

"Lin'an, what did you do to Yinuo..." Before Xuan Ran could finish speaking, Gu Lin'an made a shushing gesture, and then, in front of Xuan Ran, he even sucked his finger.

Xuanran felt a chill run down her spine. It wasn't just you... it was me... every grain of rice from my child was hard-earned.

"Don't tell anyone about this, or else..." Gu Lin'an made a beheading gesture and continued sucking his hand.

Threatened, Xuan Ran immediately patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Lin'an, I definitely won't tell anyone this secret."

Gu Lin'an nodded and said, "Nuozai is too tired. Let him sleep a little longer. Let's go."

"Lin'an, then don't overwork yourself."

Gu Lin'an nodded, "Don't worry, I'm in good health, I'm young and can handle it."

Xuan Ran glanced at the oblivious Yi Nuo, then at the still-enthusiastic Gu Lin'an, and sighed silently.

He went to Changsheng's room and found him brushing his teeth and washing up; he had just woken up.

Xuanran stood in front of the bathroom door, teasing DouDoufei, her face full of hesitation.

"Chang Sheng, I'm going to tell you a little secret, but you mustn't tell anyone else."

"What secret?" Changsheng asked curiously, taking a big gulp of water to rinse his mouth.

Xuanran whispered into Changsheng's ear, and Changsheng's eyes widened, and he involuntarily swallowed the mouthwash in his mouth.

"That's so exciting, bro?"

"Really?"

"Really, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Damn, no wonder Brother An always favors Yinuo, turns out they have a bromance."

"Don't worry, you know my character. Would I betray you? I definitely won't tell."

After Xuanran left, Changsheng quickly washed up, took out his phone and sent a voice message to Zhongyi, "Zhongyi, I have a secret to tell you, a secret you absolutely cannot tell anyone else, it's about Brother An..."

Gu Lin'an walked around and came to Cat's room. Cat's room was unlocked, so Gu Lin'an pushed the door open and went in.

I noticed he was playing King of Glory, and judging by the looks of it, he'd been playing for quite a while.

"Up so early?" Gu Lin'an asked.

Cat nodded. "I got up at seven in the morning. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd practice some heroes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin'an was impressed by Cat's efforts; they hadn't returned to the hotel until one or two in the morning last night.

"This game is over. I'm going to the restroom, and then I'll go find the coach."

Cat heard the sound of the game ending, threw his phone on the table, and headed towards the bathroom.

Gu Lin'an looked at cat's record. They had been playing since 7 a.m., and cat had only won two games. The rest were all in red.

He sighed; it seemed Cat had realized his problem too.

Cat is getting old; his hand speed and reaction time are not as good as other professional players. This can be seen from the match against DRG, where Cat didn't play much of a role and was more like a support character.

He started to get anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Esports is a young person's game, and it's already quite impressive that Cat is still playing professionally at his age.

The group arrived at the milk tea coach's room.

Coach Milk Tea is setting up his computer to watch the HG vs. WB match.

Then, a loud shout came from Yinuo throughout the corridor.

"Who the hell did this?!"

Yinuo angrily pushed open the door, her gaze darting between the crowd.

Chang Sheng and the others avoided Yi Nuo's gaze, pretending to be stupid.

"Yinuo, what do you mean, who did it, and what?"

"Yinuo, you're late. Hurry up and find a seat."

Yinuo gritted her teeth and said, "Who drew on my face today?"

Xuanran looked at Yinuo pitifully. It seemed that Yinuo hadn't discovered something more important. This wasn't a painting; it was clearly a mark of the devil.

Xuanran reminded her, "Yinuo, didn't you notice a strange smell?"

Yi Nuo: "It doesn't taste weird at all, it's actually quite delicious."

Xuanran stared wide-eyed, unsure of what to say.

Yinuo's gaze finally settled on Xuanran.

"Xuanran, tell me who did this?" Yinuo said through gritted teeth.

Xuan Ran hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I promised Lin An I wouldn't tell."

Gu Lin'an, who was secretly laughing: ...
