Pei Qian gave the computer to the waiter to put away. He drank his coffee and checked the players’ general feedback on the two new heroes on the forum.

  “Traveler Bao Xu was really interesting. He would move up after raging. You have to keep moving if you want to play output[1]. It is ideal for players with ADHD, clicking crazily on the mouse. Moreover, you can press and hold S to become fleshier when you are beaten. Such novel gameplay perfectly integrates with the story setting and game machine!”.

  “Indeed, there are dual-form heroes in other games as well, but that is manually switched over by the player. Traveler Bao Xu is actually a dual-form hero, but it is done either by moving or keeping stationary.”


  “Bao Xus that just walk or that do not move are all rookies! Keep still, and he would be beaten up. Keep walking, and his IQ would be zero. Stop and walk would make him as stable as an old dog-walk and stop and then take a look!”


  “I think that the design of this hero is quite comprehensive. The master can play as an output and use the stealth function to play as an assassin to drive the rhythm for the audiences; the rookie can also be in a defensive

  – stand in place to be beaten and also make team contribution.”


  “This hero Ruan is the product of the designer’s free imagination, isn’t it? Every single round that I played this morning had it! None of us returned after the E to nowhere!”


  “E to nowhere?”


  “I seriously suspect that the player who designed this hero wants revenge on society!”


  “I met a Ruan which did not release an ult throughout the entire game. That was even when we had Modest in our team……”


  “That’s impossible; doesn’t Modest have his own knock over attacks? Wasn’t he an actor if he did not even bring out his ult?”


  “Yo, try it and you’ll know. The time he would be airborne is pretty short, time will fly by before you realize it, and there is no time to press anything……”


  “Sh*t, how to play Ruan if you have a crippled hand?”


  “You don’t know how delightful it is for this hero to E! It is simply too exciting. It adds a black ink mark to every enemy soldier, simply putting the essence of my life’s hard pursuit!” Let go of that female monkey: “I get angry every time I see this hero, especially those who stand there motionless in the mid lane. They don’t play well in their lanes; neither do they support them. They just stand there other than that little soldier E. Are they writing an epitaph for themselves?”


  “Good riddance!”


  “I’ve learned that it has been set as a quick communication phrase in the game. It is recommended for there to be an official release of a bound map marker so that I can automatically type this sentence on the public screen when I send a question!”


  Pei Qian could not help but smile when he saw the players’ evaluation of these two new heroes.

  He did not expect this windfall!

  Pei Qian’s purpose was simple. He simply wanted a hero to help him earn some extra money. He did not think that Min Jingchao would understand wrongly and used Ruan Guangjian as the model for this hero. He even made the ‘best friend background story for Ruan.

  However, it seemed to be a great job so far!

  He estimated that Ruan Guangjian would never be able to use this hero during ranking matches in his life. It would be banned 100%.

  One would definitely be targeted by one’s opponents, run down by one’s teammates every time they were to use it in regular matched games. He would definitely become autistic if he used it too much!

  Pei Qian could not wait to play one round with Ruan Guangjian.

  Someone pushed open the door and entered just when he was thinking about it. Pei Qian could not help but brighten up. Speak of the devil! Ruan Guangjian was here to buy coffee again!

  Capture him decisively!

  Ruan Guangjian saw Pei Qian immediately. “Eh, Boss Pei, a rare guest.”


  Pei Qian was speechless; why did he always use this sentence on him?

  I have been coming to Fish-Catching Internet Cafe frequently recently, okay?

  “You know that your hero has been published, right? Do you want to play one round?” Pei Qian suggested with ulterior motives.

  “Oh, really?” Ruan Guangjian was a little surprised. “So fast? I had been busy with my art and did not notice.”


  Pei Qian could not help but be delighted.

  You had been drawing so you did not notice? That means you had never played it even once?

  Great! I love playing with people who had never played before!

  “Come, come, come, let’s play one round.” Pei Qian and Ruan Guangjian found two empty seats. As for the coffee that Ruan Guangjian ordered, he had to ask the waiter to run errands and send it to the Halo Workspace opposite them.

  When logging onto the game, Pei Qian took a sneak peek and found that Ruan Guangjian’s GOG account had a very small amount of battle records. Moreover, he seriously checked out the background of Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan, the introduction, and their skills. It was really his first time playing.

  Pei Qian decided to play as Modest.

  On the one hand, it was because they agreed to play their own heroes, but the more important reason was that Modest was really strong!

  Wouldn’t he have taken his revenge when Ruan Guangjian was killed 0-21 while he played as an 8-0-20 perfect carry?

  En, that was the plan!

  “Come on, let’s get started.” Pei Qian had sent his team invite.

  Ruan Guangjian accepted the invite. “Hang on, I haven’t read the skill description yet.”


  Obviously, even though he participated in the design of the concept art of this hero, he had never studied in-depth into its specific mechanism, gameplay, and the value of the hero’s skills.

  Pei Qian immediately clicked on the ‘Start Matching’ button. “It’s okay, learn while playing in a game; you’ll soon adapt.”


  It was a matched game so there was no ranking. Of course, he was afraid that this hero Ruan would be banned the moment it was up. Would it then be not worth playing any longer?

  They entered the selection interface. Ruan Guangjian’s quick eyes and hands quickly locked onto his hero. Pei Qian naturally clicked his Modest.

  The teammates had started sunning their concerns before the game had even started.

  “Happy Ruan again?”


  “Please don’t use this hero anymore. We just had a 0-21 match just now. We were beaten hands down!”


  “If you want to play a new hero, I suggest you use Bao Xu the Traveler. They can both run happily, and then you might be of use when we get some beatings.”


  “Change it.”


  Ruan Guangjian was a little confused. “Hm? Why does everyone have such a strong opinion of my hero?”


  Pei Qian laughed. “Don’t bother about them; just show your strength later.”


  Ruan Guangjian nodded. “Un, okay.” Ruan Guangjian thought that Boss Pei meant to show them his worth later. However, what Pei Qian really meant was to use his strength to prove that they were right.

  The three teammates could only sigh and enter the game when they saw that the hero Ruan had been locked on, and there were no other thoughts of changing.

  Someone on the opposite side started typing on the screen as soon as they entered the game.

  “You’re dead; you have to die ten times before I lose!”


  Pei Qian had hidden his name from the hero’s head for a long time. It had been his habit all these while. Seeing the player’s name could weaken his focus in the game and affect his performance.

  Therefore, he only found out who typed that after he opened the data panel.

  It was the mid-laner from the other team, which was Ruan Guangjian’s counterpart.

  Pei Qian was delighted. Good job!I’ll send you a little red rose if you kill Ruan Guangjian 10 times today! However, having said that, this vengeance was indeed huge.

  The other party wanted to kill him 10 times even though they were two strangers who had never met each other. What deep hatred!

  Ruan Guangjian would definitely be targeted like mad in this round, awesome!

  Pei Qian also went about his top lane with full confidence.

  The hero Modest was actually more versatile. He was suitable to travel all lanes, but it was more appropriate to go from the top lane.

  Pei Qian felt that Ruan Guangjian would attract hatred to himself in the mid lane. The Nakano twins would be infinitely targeted. He would develop happily along his lane and then come out to save the day when it was time to engage in group battle. That script was perfect!

  Pei Qian’s counterpart was Traveler Bao Xu. It was a new hero after all so it had a high appearance rate in the match.

  This guy did not seem to like the last hit very much. He would recover in the bushes and then run out to knife these disgusting people. It seemed a little like the daily setting in Tengda Games.

  However, Pei Qian was absolutely unfazed because the Traveler Bao Xu was restrained by Modest!

  You slash me; I hammer you. You then hit me on the back. What would hurt more?

  Moreover, this Traveler Bao Xu seemed to have a great obsession with harassment. He did not replenish his soldiers before he came up to chop Modest.

  There was a certain monetary reward in GOG without the last hit, but the reward would be a lot higher if he did.

  Pei Qian was very disdainful of such unspecialized gameplay. “Just wait and see…… the last hit will soon widen our gap. A real master should pay attention to more details. I took the last hit, and you did not. This way, our economic gap would open up……”


  “Holy f*ck?!”


  Pei Qian was still fighting with Bao Xu with wits and bravery when the level-two jungler came to the top lane unexpectedly!

  Bao Xu flashed directly behind Modest with full rage, and with coordination with the jungler, Modest fell even with his defense.

  Of course, in GOG, ‘Jungler’ and ‘Assist’ were called ‘wanderer’ and ‘commander’ respectively. They had different names, but the division of labor was still the same.

  However, Pei Qian preferred to be called a jungler because of his personal habits.

  Pei Qian: “.……”


  There was something wrong with the plot, wasn’t there, bro? How deep must the hatred be for the level two to come up? Shouldn’t you target the Yasuo in the mid lane? What happened to killing 10 times? However, on second thought, those words seemed to be aimed at the mid lane, not the jungler.

  Ah, nevermind then.

  It seemed like I was not cautious enough and was a little rusty because I did not play the game for too long.

  Replenish my defense equipment, give way to your own tower soldiers, shorten the tower’s distance, develop steadily, and wait for the team battle later to carry.

  Bao Xu seemed to be anxious, seeing how Modest was under the tower. He started running around happily, his rage value full.

  However, he had no other choice. He could not go over the tower to kill Modest with just the jungler.

  Pei Qian could not help but feel proud. Hmph, what can you do to me when I’m under the tower?
