The Scum's Transformation Plan

Liu Hao stood dumbfounded in his place.

What was that voice just now? Did crossing worlds give me some sort of a cheat? His mind racing, he found a small bottle of purple potion in his hand. He quickly slid into his pocket.

Unable to contain his excitement, he rushed out of the training room and went straight to his dorm.

The Excellent Era players' dormitory consisted of standard double rooms. Liu Hao's roommate was his loyal follower, Wang Ze.

Liu Hao quickly locked the door behind him and dashed into the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror above the sink, he had an ordinary appearance, not ugly but not handsome either. His skin was sallow, and irregular diet and sleep patterns had caused facial puffiness, not to mention the dark circles under his eyes from staying up late for training.

Liu Hao couldn't help but feel speechless. He was apparently afflicted with the occupational hazards of a professional gamer.

Without hesitation, he gulped down the potion in his hand. After a few seconds, his body began to exude black dirt, emanating a foul odour as if he had fallen into a garbage heap.

Enduring the pungent smell, Liu Hao quickly stripped off his clothes and took a shower, spending nearly an hour to wash away the grime from his body.

After the shower, he returned to the mirror, seeing a transformation. The facial puffiness was gone, revealing a sharp jawline. His once sallow skin now had a healthy tan, and even the dark circles from staying up late had completely disappeared. There was even a hint of masculine fragrance lingering on him.

With just a shower, his demeanour had completely changed. From an average guy to a mythical stunning esports god!

"This genetic potion's effect is incredible! And this is just the initial absorption. How handsome will I be after a month of complete absorption? Even if I can't surpass Zhou Zekai, the number one heartthrob in Glory, I won't be far behind!" Liu Hao marvelled.

Liu Hao decided to spend the next month improving himself, crafting his own scum's transformation plan to change Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng's perception of him.

Of course, grovelling was out of the question. Grovelling would only make him more pathetic. He was a proud man. He wanted to prove his worth to Ye Qiu with his strong abilities!

Liu Hao first took out his phone and checked his bank account. He still had over two hundred thousand yuan left.

The original owner of the body had signed a five-year contract with Excellent era, with an annual salary of eight hundred thousand yuan, paid yearly. Starting from the fifth season, he had been a professional gamer for three years now. Deducting taxes and adding bonuses, he had earned over two million yuan. More than half of that money had been sent to his parents back home.

Although the original owner was extravagant, often treating his underlings to drinks and meals, he had managed to gain many loyal followers because of his generosity.

Although he wasn't particularly skilled in matches, he was adept at winning hearts. Chen Yehui, the president of the Excellent era , called him "Brother Hao," and the substitute players Wang Ze, Shen Jian, and He Ming all obeyed his commands. Even the youngsters in the training camp were loyal supporters, except for a kid named Qiu Fei, who was favoured by Ye Qiu as a successor and didn't get along with the original owner.

After dressing, Liu Hao went out and ran into Wang Ze on his way back to the dorm.

Seeing Liu Hao, Wang Ze's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother Hao? Am I hallucinating? How come... you suddenly look much more handsome?"

"Yeah, just took a shower and used some facial cleanser," Liu Hao casually explained, speaking truthfully with confidence.

Wang Ze looked enlightened. "Brother Hao, what brand of facial cleanser did you use? It's made you so handsome! You're almost catching up to Zhou Zekai!"

"You're exaggerating too much. Your flattery is so obvious," Liu Hao chuckled, teasingly scolding him. "It's just the usual facial cleanser. It's on the sink. Feel free to use it, and I'll buy another one when it's finished."

With that, he hurriedly left the Excellent Era dorms.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ze rushed into the bathroom eagerly, wanting to try Liu Hao's miracle facial cleanser.

...

After leaving the Excellent Era club, Liu Hao took a taxi to a well-known hair salon. He picked the most expensive hairstylist and had him style a classic 4:6 parting haircut, just like Tony Leung's, instantly refreshing his appearance.

By the time he finished with his hair, dusk was approaching.

The streets were bustling with activity, with bus billboards advertising the Glory playoffs. Young people on the streets were discussing which team would win this year's championship. Some said it would be Hundred Blossoms, praising Zhang Jiale's hot hand this year. Some said it would be Blue Rain, with the epic duo of Sword and Curse forging a legendary winning streak. And some said it would be Tyranny, with the sharpshooter Zhou Zekai showing his prowess.

Liu Hao just smiled. He had read the script and knew that the champion of the seventh season's playoffs would be Tiny Herb.

Since Wang Jiexi had sealed off his Magician playstyle, his personal highlight reels had decreased dramatically. However, the team's performance had improved significantly, with flawless teamwork like an iron bucket, making this year's championship a sure win for Tiny Herb.

Strolling down the street, the summer dusk felt a bit hot.

He took a taxi to the mall and bought several trendy outfits, completely transforming himself into a heartthrob. Walking down the street, he even had over a dozen beautiful girls asking for his WeChat.

Liu Hao accepted them all, one by one.

After completely changing his appearance, Liu Hao returned to the Excellent Era Club and put away the new clothes in the dormitory's wardrobe, noticing a note left on the table by Wang Ze.

"Brother Hao, I went back to my hometown. See you in a month. Also, I'm sorry to say, I took your miracle facial cleanser with me. Please forgive me. Your loyal follower, Wang Ze."

Liu Hao smiled and tore up the note, tossing it into the trash can.

That facial cleanser was just ordinary. At most, it could clean away dirt. Claims of whitening and becoming more handsome were pure nonsense.

He went downstairs and entered the training room.

In the training room, only Ye Qiu was sitting in his position playing Glory. The other team members had gone home for vacation. As usual, during holidays, the team members went their separate ways, leaving only Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng in the Excellent Era Club.

But this year was different. Liu Hao had no intention of going home. He decided to stay at the club to continue training and improve his relationship with Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng over the next month.

Ye Qiu noticed Liu Hao but didn't feel like communicating with him. Liu Hao seemed to have become more handsome, but Ye Qiu had no intention of interacting with him and continued to focus on playing Glory by himself.

Seeing that Ye Qiu was indifferent, Liu Hao had no intention of forcing a conversation. Improving team relationships required gradual effort. Becoming best friends overnight was clearly impossible.
