Chapter 271 – Great God, I heard you’re going to travel a thousand li to deliver (5)
As one of the most popular games at the moment, <League> was installed on every computer in the internet café. After helping Yan Luo create an account, Liu Ying eagerly began explaining the controls to him.
Bai Chengmo, sitting nearby, listened in. His eyebrows twitched slightly before he couldn’t help but ask, “You… have never played before?”
“Yeah.” Yan Luo responded matter-of-factly while following Liu Ying’s instructions and going through the beginner tutorial.
Are you trying to fool someone with that attitude?
Bai Chengmo : …
Hearing Liu Ying say this was a newbie was one thing, but who would’ve thought it was this new? So new that she had just created an account and were still learning the basic controls…
Bai Chengmo glanced at the voice chat room in his messaging app. The streamer hadn’t arrived yet, but looking at this so-called ‘big shot’ Liu Ying had brought in… Hmm. Tonight was probably going to be a disaster…
Hopefully, the newly signed streamer had strong enough mental fortitude to handle this.
After finally finishing the beginner tutorial, a deep, slightly lazy voice came through Yan Luo’s headset, as if testing the mic.
“Can you hear me?”
Yan Luo responded softly, “I can hear you.”
Then he paused, glancing at Liu Ying, who looked utterly bewildered beside him, then at Bai Chengmo, who had collapsed into a chair in despair. He finally confirmed the source of the voice and raised an eyebrow. “You’re the streamer Little Ying mentioned?”
On the other end of the call, the man at his computer momentarily froze. The voice was young, slightly hoarse but with a hint of arrogance. Hearing it unexpectedly, he felt an odd itch in his ears.
The man, who looked to be in his early twenties, narrowed his eyes slightly but quickly recovered. “Yeah, my ID is fs.”
At that moment, Liu Ying also snapped out of his daze, quickly joining the voice chat and casually introducing everyone. “These are the two friends I mentioned. One of them is a complete newbie, interested in the game. Can you help us out for a couple of rounds, fs?”
A newbie?
Fang Shi tapped his fingers twice on the table, his gaze shifting to the unfamiliar ID in the voice chat, ‘Luo’.
He opened the game, nodded slightly, and turned on his stream. “Alright, no problem.”
Bai Chengmo also joined the voice chat, pressing his lips together as he made a final effort to salvage the situation. “This newbie… is very new. The kind of new that just finished the tutorial.”
Over the next hour, the three of them learned, through painful experience, exactly how new.
“Sh*t, Brother Luo, back up! Back up! Don’t stand under their tower!!”
“You don’t have vision there, someone might be camping. Brother Luo, fall back!!”
Liu Ying yelled frantically, watching helplessly as Yan Luo fed her ninth death.
Liu Ying : …
Bai Chengmo : …
Fang Shi : …
Yan Luo blinked innocently, then curved his lips into a slight smile. “Hey, which key is for this skill again?”
—Brother Luo, you’re asking to get hit, you know that, right?
With a five-person team, the random player they were queued with had already filled the chat with question marks.
As Yan Luo switched his items, he even found time to glance at Fang Shi’s stream chat, which was flooded with comments like [noob] and [trash]. Displeased, he spoke up. “What, you guys expect someone who’s only been playing for an hour to be any good?”
Well… that was a fair point.
But still, Fang Shi had never seen such a reckless playstyle before.
After an entire night of being dragged down, even with the mindset of ‘patiently guiding a new player,’ he couldn’t help but run a hand through his hair in frustration.
