I loaded the character design panel.

Chapter 19 Upgrade

The right time, the right place, the right rescue!

Are you alright?

After successfully catching Lin Shiyu, Li An breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at her, asking her a question.

"I'm fine... Thank you. I might have gotten hurt if it weren't for your help."

Hearing his concern, Lin Shiyu suddenly came to her senses, regained her balance with his support, and thanked him gratefully.

If she had fallen and gotten injured just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

It should be noted that the Jiangda women's volleyball team had been preparing for this practice match for a long time.

Losing a practice match might not seem like a big loss on the surface, but a small leak can sink a great ship.

If she is absent due to injury at this crucial moment, or fails to perform at her full potential, resulting in Jiangda being completely defeated by Shandong University with a high score lead, then the blame would be enormous.

"Don't run so fast on rainy days."

Finally, they were able to speak. Thinking of the scenes in the crisis preview, Ang Lee couldn't help but give a word of advice.

Although Lin Shiyu's injuries in the crisis preview were very minor, with only a cut on her right hand, a slight abrasion on her left hand, and no details about her knees or other injuries.

But an injury is an injury, regardless of its severity.

"You're right, I'll pay attention next time."

Lin Shiyu wanted to explain that she knew the road was slippery from the rain and she shouldn't run, but there was a reason for it, so she just nodded obediently.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Ang Lee was puzzled to see that she was very obedient and did not continue to elaborate on the topic of her mistakes.

In fact, he didn't quite understand why Lin Shiyu would go out in such heavy rain and run all the way.

"Because I'm going to be late for volleyball practice."

Lin Shiyu responded with surprise, but then realized what was going on.

The other person doesn't seem to know her? Does that mean he's a freshman who just started university this year?

"Volleyball training... I see."

Upon learning why she went to the gymnasium every day, Li An nodded as if he understood.

Unlike his previous distant observation, now that they were standing face to face, he could clearly sense the height of this tall, leggy senior.

Lin Shiyu wasn't wearing high heels, but her height was about the same as his, which meant that her actual height was around 1.8 meters.

For a girl to have such an outstanding height makes perfect sense if she's playing volleyball.

"Junior, are you free right now?"

Lin Shiyu looked at his clothes and hair, which were soaked by the rain, and suddenly asked.

"Is there something you need?"

Ang Lee did not rush to answer, but instead looked up at the weather.

Although this rain wasn't exactly a downpour, the amount of rainfall was still quite large.

If it weren't for Prince Charming's warning of a crisis, he wouldn't have gone out tonight.

"Could you come to the stadium with me? I owe you a favor, and I want to thank you properly after I'm done with this."

Given that her junior had done her a great favor, Lin Shiyu came up with this solution after careful consideration.

This was the best solution she could think of in a short time; it wouldn't interfere with her training and it would also repay her debt of gratitude.

Upon realizing that she also wanted to repay him, Ang Lee couldn't help but glance at her delicate and beautiful face, his mind wandering.

He wouldn't have thought much of it originally, but Zhong Lixue's honest words about gratitude yesterday left an indelible impression on him.

"It was nothing, no need to thank me. Senior, you have things to do, go ahead and do them. I need to go back to my dorm to shower and change."

Although Ang Lee was very curious about what the character design of "Queen of the Sky" meant, he still shook his head.

From the conversation just now, he already knew that Senior Lin Shiyu played volleyball, and that she would be at the gymnasium every day. He could go and see her when he had the chance later.

As for expressing gratitude, let's forget about it.

A simple thank you gesture, like treating him to a meal, is fine, but he earns money just by running laps now, so he doesn't need a few meals.

Such special gratitude is something not everyone can express with the same level of generosity as Zhong Lixue.

Even though Lin Shiyu was a genuine older sister and was willing to give him special rewards, he was too embarrassed to accept them.

"That won't do... May I ask what your major and class are?"

Seeing that he didn't need a thank you, Lin Shiyu immediately became anxious and changed her strategy.

"Computer Science major, Class 3, Year 1"

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating. Since she was still getting soaked in the rain and had to rush to training, Ang Lee didn't intend to chat with her any longer. He simply gave her his major and class number and turned to leave.

"Junior, what's your name?"

Seeing him turn and leave, Lin Shiyu was stunned for a moment and quickly asked.

Ang Lee.

My name is Lin Shiyu.

Upon realizing that he had left without looking back, Lin Shiyu gave him her name.

As she shouted, Ang Lee turned his back to her, raised his arm, and waved goodbye.

Visibility is low on rainy days, and it's late at night now. Although there are streetlights everywhere at Jiangda University, it's impossible for them to illuminate the entire campus.

"Are you leaving already?"

As she watched his figure disappear into the rain, Lin Shiyu stood in the rain, feeling bewildered and anxious.

The chance encounter was brief, and what happened was strange, leaving her with many questions.

For example, why is this person here? And it looks like they've been in the rain for a long time.

"Go to training first, and go see him tomorrow."

After thinking for a while, Lin Shiyu suddenly came to her senses, looked around, found the umbrella on the ground, picked it up, and started running towards the gymnasium.

However, after running for about ten steps, she suddenly slowed down.

As she ran, she remembered what Ang Lee had just said.

Being late is a done deal; no matter how fast she runs, she'll still be late. It's better to walk than to fall again.

……

They split up, and Li An headed towards the boys' dormitory. Suddenly, a line of text appeared before his eyes:

[You, as the Prince Charming, successfully rescued the princess from danger, increasing your character development progress by 50% and earning you 1 character development draw chance.]

[The Prince Charming character development is complete, and his level has increased from Lv.1 to Lv.2.]

"The progress has increased that much?"

After successfully rescuing the princess, Li An couldn't help but feel surprised after looking at the results on the panel.

After all, Zhong Lixue faced a life-or-death crisis yesterday, while Lin Shiyu only suffered injuries to her hands. Based on the different levels of danger, he originally thought that his progress in playing the Prince Charming would only increase by 10%-20% this time.

"Is it because I performed too well as Prince Charming?"

After his initial shock, Ang Lee fell into deep thought.

Unlike the athletic genius archetype, which offers a lot of room for development, the Prince Charming archetype is actually quite stereotypical.

Even though Prince Charming has many excellent qualities, such as noble status, handsome appearance, and gentlemanly manners, his role is always the same: to appear at crucial moments and save the princess from suffering.

Because he saved the princess, the progress bar on the panel was immediately maxed out.

"If that's the case, then each increase in the character development progress should be capped at 50%."

Thinking of this, Ang Lee seemed to have an epiphany.

Given Lin Shiyu's slip and fall while running in the rain, he strolled in the rain, figuring his clothes were already soaked anyway, and there was no point in rushing.

[Prince Charming Lv.2: You can foresee the dangers that princesses are about to face up to 48 hours in advance.]

Halfway there, Li An summoned the panel to take a look at the upgrade effect.
