It turns out that accidents are just accidents; the life of a tall, rich, and handsome man can never be defeated by an accident.

After Brian the Great’s downfall, Dragonheart experienced a resurgence, winning the league championship, the cup championship, and the AFC Champions League. The dazzling triple crown made him a superstar. A few years later, he had already become the number one gamer in the country and the captain of the national team.

This year, Dragonheart is twenty-four years old, at the peak of his professional career. According to him, he plans to maintain his form until he’s twenty-six, win the World Cup in two years, and then retire. Because of this bold declaration, many domestic fans have high hopes for him. After all, it’s been twenty years since China last made it to the World Cup finals, and everyone is pinning their hopes on Dragonheart in his prime.

……

Seven years ago, when Lily was making connections everywhere, she learned some inside information.

That Korean reporter at the airport back then was actually deliberately arranged by someone, and that reporter seemed to know Brian the Great’s personality quite well. He intentionally said something that instantly triggered Brian the Great’s reverse scale, causing the already extreme Brian the Great to lose his mind on the spot.

According to the mastermind’s original plan, Brian the Great was supposed to rot in a Korean prison. Later, someone couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up for justice. It’s said that person was the heir of a powerful red family in Beijing and also a loyal fan of Brian the Great. His words carried a lot of weight.

When Lily visited Brian the Great in prison, she told him about this. He only said one thing: “When I get out, I’ll have some fun with Dragonheart.”

To this day, Lily still doesn’t doubt Brian the Great’s words; he’s always been a man of his word.

At that moment, her phone rang. As soon as she answered, a string of suggestive sounds came through: “Ah... ooh... mm...”

Lily could bet that, at this very moment, the scene on the other end of the line was definitely like this: a man lying on the bed making a call, and on top of him—more precisely, straddling his hips—a woman was riding him wildly up and down...

Among all the people Lily knew, no one but Brian the Great would make a call in such circumstances.

“How many times have I told you, can’t you call me after you’re done?” Lily answered the phone, already furious.

“How many times have I told you, I get more inspiration at times like this, mm mm, ah... let me tell you, ah, ah... you don’t need to find me a new club, I... ah, mm, harder, faster... I, I’ve made a decision...” came a voice on the phone, a mix of world-weariness and lewdness.

“You found a new club?” Lily was shocked.

The other party didn’t answer. The call was suddenly cut off.

Lily’s anger flared, and she called back, but the phone was turned off.

An hour later, Brian the Great called her back, sounding very excited: “That was amazing, I haven’t met such a unique girl in ages. Don’t get mad, I wasn’t the one who hung up on you just now, she grabbed the phone and turned it off.”

“Let’s talk business,” Lily said, her tone icy.

“Don’t rush to find me a new club, I want to be a free agent.”

“A free agent? Don’t tell me you still want to make a living by farming gear and selling it? Bro, that’s an idea that was eliminated a hundred years ago.” Lily was anxious, and she wasn’t wrong. These days, the main income for pro gamers comes from club salaries and endorsement deals. Top players make over a hundred million a year—who would care about the small change from selling in-game items?

After thinking for a moment, Lily added, “Besides, you’re the king of PVP, but PVE isn’t your strong suit, right? Back then, you always had basic gear, and I never saw you run dungeons for loot.”

“You don’t get what I mean. I just want to rediscover the fun of gaming.”

Hearing that lewd voice on the phone suddenly turn melancholy, Lily was stunned. She suddenly remembered that ten years ago, that boy wasn’t in a hurry to become a pro player. He just wanted to happily enjoy gaming before graduating from college, free from any constraints. Later, it was she, his senior, who tempted him in every way, saying that being a pro meant luxury cars, villas, pretty maids, and even scandals with female celebrities. In the end, she dragged the lewd boy onto this pirate ship.

“So what’s the deal with you and Pig Heart?” she asked, steadying herself. She always called Dragonheart “Pig Heart” because she felt Dragonheart disgraced the sacred word “dragon.”

“Don’t worry, even if I’m alone, I can still crush him.”

“……” Lily was speechless. Ten years ago, she wouldn’t have doubted the feasibility of that statement. But now, things were different. Time changes many things. At her age, she had learned to look at things differently, and there was one harsh reality she couldn’t avoid: Brian the Great’s age.

“Babe, don’t be disappointed. I promised you I’d buy an island in the Pacific and found a new country so you could be queen. Then you can bring all your old flames into your harem.” The voice on the other end was only sad for a few seconds before turning lewd again. “It’s only May, there’s still plenty of time. The new season doesn’t start until August 25th. I promise you, let me enjoy myself for three months. After that, I’ll go try out for a club. Heh, maybe by then a club will come knocking with a big contract.”
