Lu Feng stared at this line of words for a good while before typing out a few words, “Can you use the voice channel?”

Wei Xiao: “’Kay.”

He turned on the voice channel and tested it out, “Can you hear me?”

Lu Feng typed, “Mm.”

Wei Xiao wanted to ask the other party why they didn’t also turn on their microphone, but he then thought about how the boss was the greatest, and whatever the boss did was right, so he held back and didn’t ask.

“Then, let’s start matching?” Wei Xiao asked.

Lu Feng listened to his voice and looked at the last line of words in the chat box.

His eyes were hooded, and he was a little regretful as he pressed out a single word, “OK.”

Wei Xiao clicked to start the game, and they entered the matching page.

Low ranking matching was very quick. It didn’t take long before they entered the game interface.

Wei Xiao took into account that the boss was a newcomer to the game and patiently introduced, “Glory is really easy to get into. Compared with other MOBA games that have over a hundred heroes, there are only 11 heroes here. It’s just that there are relatively more talent specs, and the level of flexible play is very high when it’s all combined together…”

Everything he talked about were things that Lu Feng couldn’t possibly be more familiar with.

There were indeed only 11 heroes in Glory. As a 5v5 competitive game, for the game to only have 11 heroes sounded like too few, and it seemed like there would be basically nothing left after everyone picked a hero for themselves, leaving no room for any tactical arrangements.

But that wasn’t the case. Glory was able to remain popular for so long by relying on its complexity and variability.

There were only eleven heroes in the game, namely: Mage, Warlock, Shaman, Priest, Druid, Paladin, Engineer, Hunter, Warrior, and Gunner.

But each of these eleven heroes had a wide variety of talent trees.

For example, there were already eight entire talent trees that had been developed for mages. They were: Fire Mage, Frost Mage, Earth Mage, Wind Mage, Wood Mage, Blade Mage, Undead Mage, and Poison Mage.

There were only a limited number of heroes, but the talent specs were constantly being updated. With such an assortment, the options and choices became much more plentiful.

With more options, the tactics could become more unpredictable, and the matches would then be more exciting and fun to watch.

The reason why 1v1 and 2v2 games could garner so much interest in Glory was due to the talent system.

In single matches, heroes would be randomly assigned by the system, but the talent build was up to the player.

For example, if one side was randomly given a mage, and the other side was assigned a thief whose class advantages could restrain them, there was still no need to worry. This was because there were so many talent choices. They could select an appropriate talent build after entering the game and still manage to destroy their opponent.

1v1 matches were completely based on the individual strength of the players. Not only did it require superb skills, it also needed a cool head.

Positioning, casting spells, and using abilities was the hardware, and their understanding of the game was the software. Both were indispensable.

Therefore, there was a common saying around the game––any professional player who didn’t want to be a learning bully would never be able to win the individual championship!

There was also a saying in the international competition zones––those who played with tactics were all black-hearted, and the three time individual competition champion Close must have a black hole in his chest!

After this saying was brought back to the country, it was pushed up into the hot search. The key words were: ‘Close black hole’.

Those who didn’t play games were taken by surprise when they saw this and even thought: What, what what? Close the black hole? Black holes could be closed? Scientists are so amazing!

After hurriedly clicking in…

Ah, it’s gaming.

Then, they saw the championship photos…

Damn, what a handsome little brother!

“I feel that Glory should pay Close endorsement fees. How many girlfriend fans joined Glory after the black hole incident? The number of people matching for games in the bronze rankings was at an all-time high, you know?!”

Wei Xiao had originally been giving a basic explanation of the game, but as he went on, it slowly became a basic explanation of Lu Feng.

Lu Feng, who had turned on the voice channel, still felt a little regretful. Although he could hear his voice, it was unfortunate that he couldn’t see him.

Wei Xiao pulled the topic back on track, “If it’s your first time playing, then try the fire mage. This talent build is very user friendly, and the fire mage has a very adorable female skin. It’s very cute.”

As soon as he said this, someone else on the team channel spoke up, “Are you bringing a girl?”

“F*ck, ran into another trash player.”

“Go play casual matches if you’re bringing a girl, don’t play ranked matches and screw others over.”

Casual matches were the same as ranked ones, but losing wouldn’t cause them to lose stars, and it was purely for entertainment.

Wei Xiao glanced at the team channel.

It was player #3 talking, “Play against AIs if it’s your first time playing and learn how to play before coming to rank, okay?”

“What’s the point in relying on someone else to bring you up? You’ll still be screwing others over when you go up to the higher ranks.”

Wei Xiao messaged Lu Feng privately, “Little sister, don’t be scared.”

After sending these words, he typed out in the team channel, “Sorry, I’m really not bringing a girl, it’s little sister who is bringing me along to play.”

#3: “Enough already, you said that it’s her first time playing.”

Wei Xiao: “Who says that you can’t bring others when you play for the first time?”

#3: “She doesn’t even know the heroes. Can she carry you?”

Wei Xiao sent over a smiley face and said, “Not only can she carry me, she can even get double kill, triple kill, quadrakill, pentakill, legendary.”

#3: “Bullsh*t!”

Teammate #4 tried to smooth things out, “Alright, it doesn’t matter if they’re bringing a girl or not. #1 is definitely very strong.” Wei Xiao was #1.

Wei Xiao: “I’m not going to take a single kill in this game.” He locked down the position of jungler as he spoke.

#3 became even more angry, “F*ck! This really is screwing people over!”

Seeing that they were about to enter the game, Wei Xiao’s hands moved super fast. At the last second, he sent out a line of text, “You can idle at the fountain and watch little sister’s awesomeness.”

#3 really began to idle, not moving at all as soon as they entered the game. He stood at the fountain and typed, “Haha, I want to see how awesome she is!”

Wei Xiao changed to a private team channel that only Lu Feng could hear and said, “Don’t be scared. In a bit, you just have to focus on taking people’s heads.”

Lu Feng’s lips tilted up. He typed, “How?”

Wei Xiao’s voice was light, “Take them however you like.”

Arrogance didn’t count for much. What was so terrible was that this man had the skills to back up his recklessness and arrogance.

Wei Xiao played a shadow thief and used the Red Sky Blade champion skin.

As he’d said before, this skin was made quite well. The pure black cape was like the dark night, hiding the thief within. The red short blades were the only bright splashes of color, like a pair of eyes in the dark night. The people that he stared at could only go along the road to their deaths.

During the course of the entire match, Wei Xiao really didn’t take a single head. He slashed down the opponent’s health volume to 100 points every time, no more, no less. It was so accurate that it made people’s scalp feel numb.

A fire mage had very strong DPS, and the damage caused by skills was extremely high, but it required the player to be able to predict their enemy’s position.

It was common for a newcomer’s skills go off in the wrong direction, and being unable to hit an opponent was nothing unexpected.

Regardless of how high the damage was for a skill, if it hit nothing but air, it’d still be zero DPS.

However, Lu Feng didn’t need to use his skills at all. He just needed to attack normally.

Mages’ auto attack damage was very low and would cause approximately 103 points of damage. Wei Xiao controlled his opponents’ health bars to just below 100 points.

Auto attacks didn’t require any prediction. As long as a player clicked, the character would automatically attack the nearest unit.

So…

This kind of kill could really be collected however one liked.

At first, #3 was still cursing and swearing, but later on, he was completely bewildered.

Not only #3, but #4 and #5 were also stunned, their mouths dropping open, and the players on the opposite side were about to retreat into seclusion.

“My god, what’s going on with this thief?!”

“No, the question is, how come the three of us are unable to kill a single person like him?”

“Look at his gold, okay? He has more total gold than the three of us combined!”

“I don’t get it. How can he make it so that the last hit goes to the Fire Mage?”

“Damn it… Thief, are you bringing a girl?”

“How the hell is this bringing a girl? This is showing off their love, my god!”

“I’m sorry, I just want to play a game. Big god, can you stop stuffing me with dog food?”

Wei Xiao opened up the public channel and shouted across the map, “Since this Fire Mage little sister is so amazing, could you brothers give her a pentakill?”

The players on the opposite side: “……………”

Teammate #4 sent a string of, “Hahahahahahahahaha.”

#5 also followed suit and became a ‘hahahaha’ monster.

#3’s face was beaten black and blue, and directly disconnected from the game.

“Little sister, come here.” Wei Xiao paid them no heed and typed in public chat, “The pentakill is yours, and you belong to me.”

#4: “F*ck, brother, you’ve really got game!”

#5: “I’m learning this, I’m learning this!”

A player on the opposite side was typing frantically, “Ahhh, brothers, let’s raise the torch and burn them to death!”

“As long as I have a breath of life left, I’d rather be killed by soldiers, or die at the feet of the blue daddy, or die in the spit of the dragon. I won’t give you guys a pentakill!”

“Am I playing Glory? What I’m playing is a single dog bullying game, right?!”

Wei Xiao messaged Lu Feng privately and said very politely, “No offense intended, hey, I’m just joking around with them.”

Lu Feng paused for a moment and typed, “It’s fine.”

Wei Xiao continued, “Come, as long as the timing is controlled well, a pentakill isn’t difficult.”

Pentakill was an achievement that could only be achieved by killing five people in a row in a single wave of group battles. It could be said to be the ultimate pursuit for all players in MOBA games.

Obtaining the pentakill achievement really wasn’t easy.

However––

Pentakill!

Lu Feng obtained the easiest pentakill of his life.

He just moved his mouse a little and auto-attacked five times.

The players on the other side were going crazy, “This is illogical, this is really illogical!”

“This game experience sucks, damn it. If I didn’t already know that Glory’s hack prevention system was the best in the world, I would think that the other side was using a plug-in.”

Teammate #4: “I feel that he really used a plug-in…”

Teammate #5: “Yeah, he’s using a plug-in called love!”

Just before Wei Xiao took down the opposite side’s resurrection crystal, he knocked out four words, “Thank you, thank you.”

The other side: “…………”

After the game ended, Wei Xiao reported #3 for idling and was in a good mood as he watched the system ban him from the game.

He asked Lu Feng, “How did that feel? Was it okay?”

Wei Xiao had played very seriously in this game, more seriously than when he solo-ed against professional players.

This wasn’t something where he just needed to win. This required absolute control.

––Control the damage over each segment of time, every level of equipment, and every skill level.

Even across the entire competition zone, there were very few people who could do this.

Lu Feng saved the replay video of the game and said to Wei Xiao, “Very good.”

Wei Xiao was relieved. He had a sense of professional propriety. While he had no psychological burdens charging professional players 200 yuan a game, it was unreasonable to charge ordinary players such a high price.

What he could do instead was to provide the most perfect service so that boss’ money wasn’t spent in vain.

Wei Xiao continued to ask, “Then should we go on to the next game?”

Lu Feng looked at the time, “I have something to do. Let’s play in the evening.”

Wei Xiao: “’Kay.”

As expected, it was a busy little sister. She already had something she needed to do after just one match.

Just before going offline, Lu Feng typed again, “Oh, right.”

Wei Xiao: “Hm?”

Lu Feng: “I’m not a little sister.”

Wei Xiao: “Ah?”

Lu Feng: “I’m male.”
