Chapter 190

Sweetheart was live–streaming, a small–time streamer who had arrived earlier at the Greenmeadow gathering piped up, “How come Learner’s not here yet?”

Logan, having made a pretty penny from his streams, flaunted a brand new Omega watch on his wrist for the occasion, a piece rumored to be worth a small fortune.

He casually ran his watch–adorned hand through his hair and said, “Learner’s a student, doesn’t get off till six, so she’ll be a bit late. If you guys are hungry, start on the appetizers. I’ve asked the staff to serve the main course later.”

The other streamer chuckled, “Jungler, you actually believe she’s a student?”

Logan just smiled and didn’t respond. He didn’t quite buy it himself.

A student available every night from nine to eleven for gaming? They always used voice chat for better coordination, and sometimes he could overhear Learner’s mom bringing her a drink and chatting with her. What kind of parent would let their kid game like that without intervening?

But of course, he kept these thoughts to himself.

Sweetheart, picking up on the banter, laughed, “C’mon, she’s just an eighteen–year–old girl, forever young!”

The chat burst into laughter, getting the joke. In the gaming world, didn’t every female streamer– claim to be eternally eighteen? No one wanted to reveal their real age.

Then a more level–headed streamer chimed in, “I’ve watched Learner duo with you on your alt account. You can’t tell much at lower ranks, but in the higher tiers, she clearly knows her stuff.”

Most of the streamers there were guys, and talk of gaming skill piqued their interest. Nods all around when one said, “Yeah, watching you two duo, it felt like you could take on a hundred stars! Her mechanics and game sense are solid. It’s impressive for a girl!”

Hearing this, Logan felt an odd stirring within him.
