King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Chapter 216 Zhang Yuanbing's Apprenticeship Ceremony

Ye Lan walked along the school road. Students who had finished lunch came and went in a bustling crowd, their expressions varied.

After all, a parent-teacher meeting had just ended, so it's normal for some people to be happy while others are sad.

Ye Wanying jogged up behind her. High school students are very fragile, and even after running a short distance, she was still out of breath.

He braced his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

"Little sister, your physique isn't up to par, you need to work out." Ye Lan laughed loudly beside her.

Ye Wanying had no strength to answer, she just rolled her eyes in protest, and a blush rose on her fair cheeks, as delicate as a peach blossom.

Ding-dong.

Her cell phone rang in her pocket.

After a short rest, the previously chaotic breathing gradually calmed down.

Ye Wanying picked up her phone and glanced at the message: "Teacher Zhang asked me if she could add you as a friend. She has many questions she wants to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He would have refused long ago if it weren't for the other person's status.

Ye Wanying suddenly looked startled and tugged at Ye Lan's sleeve several times: "Teacher Zhang transferred 8888 to me, saying it's my apprenticeship fee!"

Ye Lan immediately came over and looked at Ye Wanying's phone.

The contact person, whose contact name was "Teacher Zhang," actually transferred a red envelope containing 8888 yuan.

"Is your teacher Zhang very rich?" Ye Lan couldn't help but wonder.

As a well-known streamer, his contact information is certainly not easy to obtain.

He was just about to use the excuse that "there are requirements for adding friends" to discourage the other party.

It turns out the other party is so good at handling things.

Moreover, the initial offer was around 9000, which made Ye Lan swallow back the words of refusal that were about to escape her lips.

The other party gave way too much.

Ye Wanying shook her head. "No, Teacher Zhang's parents are ordinary farmers. They earn just enough to cover their expenses for a year, so in addition to supporting herself, she also has to send money home with her salary."

“She lived a very frugal life. I often heard my classmates say that Ms. Zhang only ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables brought from her hometown in the morning. Some boys would even give her the nutritional milk provided by the school.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan felt even more confused.

Would someone from a not-so-wealthy family spend nearly 10,000 yuan to become an apprentice and learn game skills?

If it's about learning skills like tailoring or pastry making, then that would be perfectly reasonable.

After all, once you learn these skills, you can open your own shop in the future; having more skills means having more options.

But games are different.

Its essence is entertainment, and apart from the very top group of people, very few people can make money through games.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Ye Wanying raised her head and looked at Ye Lan, her eyes filled with worry.

"Take the money first, then send her my contact information. As for the apprenticeship fee, I'll subtly inquire about it later."

Ye Wanying never questioned her brother's arrangements. After decisively accepting the payment, she sent Ye Lan's WeChat ID.

Meanwhile, Ye Lan quickly received a friend request from the other party.

"I am Ye Wanying's English teacher, Zhang Yuanbing."

Looking at the verification message, Ye Lan couldn't help but wonder why someone would have such a name.

Especially since she's a girl.

"Teacher Zhang said that her face was round when she was a child, like a big pancake, so her parents gave her that name."

“In rural areas, names containing food names are often associated with the idea that the child is easy to raise, just like how boys are named Gousheng, Erniu, or Tiedan.”

Ye Lan nodded thoughtfully; he had never known these things before.

I thought they were all names that their parents randomly picked out.

Looking back now, it's clear that each name reflects the parents' hard work and dedication.

"Alright, let's go back now. I just asked the teacher for leave again. I'll take care of your daily needs for the next month while your parents are away."

A sweet smile appeared on Ye Wanying's face. In her opinion, being able to take care of her brother was a very fulfilling thing.

"How about I take you to Shanghai in a few days?" Ye Lan glanced down at the date on her phone.

12 month 10 day.

There are 20 days left until the Honor of Kings New Year's Greeting Show event.

There are 5 days left until the voting deadline.

After the video of her previous match against the Wolves was released, Ye Lan's votes were far ahead on the leaderboard.

They've already broken into the top ten in total votes!

Zhang Daxian is far ahead in first place, and Lü Dehua in second place is not far behind.

Apart from these two, the votes for the rest of the top ten were actually quite similar.

Although you may not be invited to the event, many streamers will attend events of this level, even if they are not invited guests.

Participating in such large-scale events is also a way to gain popularity.

It's the same principle as celebrities participating in large-scale variety shows.

It's also a good opportunity to take my younger sister out for a stroll and broaden her horizons.

From childhood to adulthood, my parents have been busy with work and rarely have time to take them out to play.

As children, we didn't feel much about it, but with the rapid development of short videos in recent years, many people have seen a different world outside.

People are increasingly drawn to travel.

This desire is like planting a seed in a person's heart, which then quickly takes root, sprouts, and grows into a towering tree.

Without short videos, even if Ye Lan's parents won the lottery, they wouldn't choose to travel abroad.

Who can blame them for the amazing power of big data? Ever since the elderly couple won tickets to travel abroad...

The platform promotes local customs, culture, and scenic spots to them almost every day.

Ye Lan knew that her younger sister was very sensible; even if she really wanted something, she would pretend to be uninterested.

Since Ye Wanying is not good with words, Ye Lan, as her older brother, naturally has to take the initiative.

"Why go to Shanghai?" Ye Wanying asked, tilting her head.

"Your brother is going to participate in a game event and he's worried about leaving you alone at home, so why don't you come with him?"

"Okay, when do we leave?" Ye Wanying's delicate body trembled slightly, her emotions so intense that she could hardly contain herself.

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the first time she has gone out to play with her brother.

"Let's wait a few days," Ye Lan said after thinking for a moment.

The voting results will be released on the 15th, and the most suitable time to depart is around the 20th.

The New Year's greetings event doesn't start until the 30th, so there's no point in going too early.

"Let's go back first. I've finished everything recently, and I need to make the most of my time to do live streams and garner votes in the next few days."

That's Ye Lan's personality. She says she doesn't care whether she can get into the top five or not, but she always does her best to do it in private.

"Ah."

Ye Wanying nodded obediently and sat back in the passenger seat.

The vehicle drove steadily and slowly until it arrived at the building in the residential area.
