Those Sweet Times
Chapter 67 Part 1
Xiang Nuan was planning to order some alcoholic drinks with dinner to celebrate their win, but Yang Yin rejected the idea.
“The national compet.i.tion is the day after tomorrow. I"ve arranged a whole day of training for you all tomorrow, 12 hours. The award money is fifty thousand for the national champion. For the sake of the money, you all can do without the drinks for now.”
The next two days, Xiang Nuan was too busy to think about personal relationships. The first day was intensive training. The second day, they drove together to Yuming City, 200 km away, to partic.i.p.ate in the national compet.i.tion.
The first two winners of each regional compet.i.tion qualify for the national tournament. There were eight teams altogether. The rules were just like the regional one, a best of three match. The champion would be determined in one day.
Xiang Nuan"s team was well prepared.
To be exact, Yang Yin was well prepared.
Yang Yin had watched videos of each partic.i.p.ating team in their respective regional compet.i.tions. She had jotted down notes as she watched, sometimes she even played the video in slow motion. She a.n.a.lyzed each team"s strength and weakness and sent her notes to each player on her team in advance.
When Xiang Nuan looked over the detailed a.n.a.lysis, she felt like her team would sure to win.
The other teams could certainly study their team"s videos, but the other teams didn"t have Yang Yin as their coach. That was the decisive difference between her team and the others.
Just as Xiang Nuan had expected, her team won every match with little difficulty. In the end, her team stood on the podium ready to receive the championship award.
The stream for the whole collegiate compet.i.tion usually only showed video of the game, not the players. But since it was the final award ceremony, the champion team would certainly appear in front of the camera.
The award ceremony was a bit shabby; there was no audience and all the recording equipment looked like they had been bought from the second hand market. All and all it was just an amateur compet.i.tion.
When the five players of the championship team showed their faces one after another on stream, it still created quite a stir.
Since it was an amateur event, not many people were paying attention to it. But when the champion team appeared, the bullet comments suddenly exploded, even the people monitoring the stream site noticed.
All of the bullet comments were exclaiming over how good looking the team was. It seemed unreasonable that a team that played this well would also have good looking players as well! In addition, they were from Nanshan University! There didn"t seem to be much room for someone to be better than them!
Some even came up with future plans for these five players. They sent emails to Pea TV asking Pea TV to consider signing these players to be streamers.
These people figured if the players became streamers, then they could see their G.o.d and G.o.ddess all the time!
At the time, Xiang Nuan"s team didn"t know that they had caused a sensation. After receiving the award, they happily left the arena and divvied the money up.
After dividing the money, Lin Chuyan took Xiang Nuan to the train station. Xiang Nuan had reserved a ticket in advance to go home. The next day was the Lantern Festival and she wanted to go lantern viewing with her parents.

The award money had been split 6 ways. There were eighty thousand in all and each person was gettin a little over thirteen thousand. All the money was transferred into each one"s bank account.
After receiving the money in her account, Xiang Nuan went to the bank and took it all out as cash. Then she went home and sat in the living room counting the money over and over.
Each time she finished counting, she would slap the stack of money on her palm and looked quite pleased with herself.
Ren Danyan couldn"t stand looking at her like that and asked her: “Haven"t you seen money before?”
“It"s different. I earned all this myself. You always say that I play games all the time without doing anything meaningful. But what is all this?” As she was talking, she slapped the money again. “I played for six days and earned thirteen thousand. That means I can earn sixty thousand a month.”
“Oh, that"s great, our Nuannuan is a grownup now. Then you can pay for your tuition and living expenses yourself from now on. Mom doesn"t have to take care of it anymore.”
