SWNOVELS Chapter 382
Always gaming?
Sherman frowned slightly, dropped a dozen more virtual gifts, and then shut down his computer, heading downstairs.
Karen and Adah were lounging on the living room sofa, their faces covered in avocado masks.
Seeing Sherman come down, Adah asked curiously, "Where are you off to, Sherman?"
"Over to Daniel's place," Sherman replied.
Adah frowned slightly, "Why head to Daniel's so late in the evening?"
The sound of a car engine came from outside.
Soon after.
The car stopped in front of the apartment building where Daniel lived.
The lights in his apartment were on.
When Sherman walked in, Daniel was sitting on the couch watching a live stream.
On the screen.
A streamer dressed in a bunny girl outfit was dancing provocatively in front of the camera.
She had a great figure. And was pretty attractive too.
Daniel didn't hesitate to send 20 virtual sports cars her way.
The streamer cooed immediately, "Thanks to Mr. Robinson for the sports cars, love you to the moon and back. To show my gratitude to Mr. Robinson, how about I sing a song? What kind of music does Mr. Robinson like? If Mr. Robinson thinks my singing isn't too bad, maybe he could send a few more sports cars my way?"
Daniel typed in a song title.
The streamer began to sing.
While singing, she made flirtatious winks, heart signs, and blew kisses to the camera.
Sherman frowned slightly.
This streamer was nothing compared to Anthea.
Anthea had never asked her fans for gifts.
Nor did she wear such revealing outfits.
And she definitely didn't make these kinds of over-the-top gestures.
Tacky.
It was just too tacky.
Sherman shifted his gaze away, an unusual look of distaste flickering in his usually impassive eyes.
"Daniel."
The sudden sound made Daniel jump, "Sherman? When did you get here?"
"Just arrived." Sherman twiddled a cross pendant in his hands.
Daniel hurriedly got up from the couch, "Sherman, did you need something?"
"Yeah." Sherman nodded slightly.
Daniel poured Sherman a glass of water.
Sherman declined with a gesture.
Seeing Sherman refuse, Daniel took a sip himself, "So, what's up, Sherman?"
"Teach me gaming," Sherman continued.
What?
Gaming?
The ever-calm Sherman wanted him to teach gaming?
Daniel spat out his water in disbelief.
"Sherman, am I hearing you right? Gaming?" Daniel wiped his hands carelessly on his sleeve.
"Yep, gaming." Sherman's eyes were serious.
Daniel was incredulous, "Sherman, are you feeling alright?"
"I'm fine." Sherman twirled the cross pendant, "I'm serious."
Daniel was even more astonished, looking Sherman up and down.
Why on earth did Sherman want to learn gaming?
Had he lost his mind?
Or was he bewitched?
Sherman leaned forward on the couch, "Hurry up, I don't have much time."
Daniel quickly sat down too, "Which game, Sherman?"
"Kings of Valor."
"Kings of Valor?" Daniel just stared at Sherman, "Are you serious?"
Sherman put the cross pendant on the table and took out his phone, "I've already downloaded it. Teach me about gear, positioning, and awareness."
Daniel was stunned.
What had gotten into Sherman today?
"Sherman, did you get hooked on some streamer?" Daniel asked.
Sherman remained expressionless, "No."
Daniel squinted, "Then why suddenly take up gaming?"
"To keep up with the times." Sherman's reply was brief.
Daniel gave him a skeptical look but didn't probe further.
And started teaching Sherman gaming.
Sherman was a quick learner.
In no time, he became a master of the game.
An hour later.
Daniel saw Sherman off.
Back home.
Sherman reopened the live stream.
Unfortunately.
Anthea had already ended her stream.
Why did she end so soon?
Sherman frowned slightly, picked up his laptop, and wrote a script, installing it on his phone.
This way, even if he didn't add Anthea as a game friend.
He could still match up with her during games.
When Lizzie and Tanya found out Anthea had topped the Cloudcrest exams, they were thrilled. They quickly logged into their school forum accounts, starting a thread to counter those who had ridiculed Anthea for plagiarism before.
Anthea scored first in the city.
The school forum exploded with excitement.
"OMG! OMG! 749 points! I bow down to the legend!"
"Full marks on the essay? Are we sure she's a science student?"
"Heard she missed a multiple-choice question, or it would have been a perfect score....."
"Really? I couldn't believe Anthea would top the city before. I thought people in her class were delusional, but turns out, we were the ones who were wrong."
