SHT Chapter 36

In the principal's office, Edward was stunned when he heard Thomas's words.

What is the situation?

Not only did the principal not oppose the privilege of students in the class not attending classes, but he also seemed to be ready to strongly support it? This came as a big surprise to him.

As for the initial investment? Setting up a professional esports room is indeed considered an initial investment. Just buying a dozen high-spec computers would cost quite a bit of money.

Edward originally planned to pay for this himself, especially since he received a cash reward when he bound the system.

But now that Principal Thomas has spoken, the money he was originally going to spend can be saved. The school's money shouldn't be wasted.

"Principal, the main part of the initial investment is to provide them with several high-performance computers." Edward said with a smile.

Thomas nodded and after a moment of thought said, "Edward, I'll approve 10000 dollars for you first. If it's not enough, come to me again."

After all, he was a middle-aged man and worked in education, so he didn't understand the market situation too well of gaming.

In Thomas's view, a few computers should be enough with 10,000 dollars, right?

In addition to not understanding the market situation, there was another reason for Thomas to do this.

As a key high school, Horizon High School naturally has a very sufficient budget. But if he were to approve a few hundred thousand to Edward all at once?

Thomas might be taken away for investigation the next day.

10,000 dollars?

Edward thought for a moment and realized that it would be enough to provide Keith and Mike with a high-performance computer each.

But setting up an awesome esports room is definitely not enough.

However, he didn't haggle with Thomas. The fact that the principal and others took the initiative to support his work made him feel very grateful.

One needs to take things step by step and eat one's meal bite by bite, just take it slow.

So, he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Principal."

...

After leaving the principal's office, Edward went straight to RS Building Society.

It was already 11:20 in the morning. He came to check on Keith and Mike's situation and planned to take them back for lunch.

After the morning study session, he brought the two of them here. After helping them set up the computers, he didn't stay long and returned to the campus.

This was actually intentional on his part. He wanted to see if Keith could start playing ranked matches without his supervision.

Having talent is one thing, but being able to motivate oneself is another.

As for Mike, before leaving, Edward told him to act on his own, and it would be better if he could continue learning and expanding his knowledge.

Making someone update content all day long? That's too harsh.

Although he would joke about the donkeys in the production team not being able to rest when commenting on novels. But that was just teasing.

Creativity requires inspiration, and Edward knows this common sense.

Moreover, Mike has saved thousands of drafts, enough for him to update for a couple of months.

Therefore, Edward's expectations for Mike were lower than those for Keith.

"Pentakill!"

"Victory!"

As soon as he entered, Edward heard the sound of the explosion in Keith's room and nodded with a smile.

Good job, well done. Actively playing ranked matches, not being lazy or idle.

Edward then walked to the door of Mike's room and saw his fingers dancing, quickly tapping on the keyboard. The future best seller was creating drafts with a rush of inspiration.

Edward was very satisfied with the performance of both Keith and Mike. Having talent and being willing to actively fulfill that talent. Their future achievements are bound to be limitless.

Thinking that he couldn't help them more in either the gaming or creative fields, Edward's thoughts about it changed slightly, and he summoned the system.

[Bind students Keith, Mike?]

[Please confirm.]

Without any hesitation, Edward directly chose to bind them.

Countless complex memories, like being sealed for a long time, suddenly surged in Edward's mind, filling it. After a brief daze, everything quickly returned to normal.

At the same time, his information on the panel in front of him was updated in real-time.

Under his talent options, his gaming talent directly increased to the highest Heavenly level, while his novel talent was elevated to the Demonic level.

With just a brief thought, various writing techniques and skills appeared in his mind.

Impressive face-slapping, leveling up in training, plot foreshadowing, environmental setting...

Fantasy, immortal, urban, mind-bending...

Thinking of any theme would bring countless ideas to mind. Edward felt that if he were given a computer now, he could sit down smoothly and start creating without any writer's block.

Suppressing his eager impulse, he walked into Keith's room.

At this moment, Keith was already playing a ranked match on the server of League of Legends.

Seeing Edward coming into the room, he turned and called out, "Edward sir."

Edward walked up behind him and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Play well, let me see how you're doing?"

Upon hearing this, Keith's spirits suddenly lifted, "Edward sir, watch me closely, I'm definitely going to carry this game."

Standing behind him, Edward not only applied pressure but also ignited more fighting spirit in him.

When Keith plays League of Legends, his main role is the AD carry position.

In this game, he chose Xin, a strong early-game champion, while the support player on his team picked Titan.

The opponents' bottom lane consisted of a combo of a new player and a fan, also very strong in lane.

As soon as the game started, Keith aggressively pushed forward.

Last-hitting minions, trading damage, dodging Ezreal's attack and the fan's attack.

The moment he reached level 2, the support player on his team, Titan, flashed in and landed a hook on Karma.

In that split second of the hook, Keith controlled Xin to slide forward. Karma flashed with low health back to the tower.

Keith decisively followed up with a spear jab.

"First blood."

"Secured the first kill."

After gaining an advantage, Keith went back to base to update his gear, returned to the lane, and secured a double kill.

In his hands, Xin seemed like the king of the Shadow Isles, constantly reaping lives.

"Double kill!"

"Triple kill!"

"Quadra kill!"

"Pentakill!"

"Ace!"

A five-kill streak.

Team wipe.

Carrying the game.

Just past fifteen minutes, the opponents chose to surrender.
