Chapter 58 (2/2)

Lately, Zhao Youyue stumbled across a game called “Kings of Glory[1]”, nicknamed “Kings’ Pesticide[2]”, which she got addicted to. According to its fanbase, this game had a lot of primary school students playing it. Thanks to its publisher, Tencent Games, it’s popularity went skyrocket. There were a lot of players from “League of Legends”, a PC platform game, switched into the mobile version of it, “Kings of Glory”. Zhao Youyue was not good in gaming, with her gaming skill equivalent to a primary school student, she often get roasted for being a noob in game.

Unfortunately for Zhao Youyue, “KoG” was a skill based game, which made her most powerful asset, cash became useless. As she watched her base getting destroyed helplessly, with the chat box full of negative comments scolding her, this ultimately caused her to delete the game furiously.

Zhao Youyue thought that skill-based games were boring, not only that she could not beat other players, she could not win in an argument either. Due to her kind personality and side character traits, she rarely got herself into a fight with others and nobody ever bullied her. Not sure it was a sad thing or not.

After deleting “KoG”, Zhao Youyue decided to regain her pride in “LoL”. She booted up her lag-free, top notch gaming PC, with every setting on maximum output, even though she had zero knowledge about it. She then proceeded to log-in her max leveled ID in game.

Reaching maximum level was just the beginning, she never got passed the bronze level in ranking tournaments, totally suited her gaming skill level. She did possess a lot of costumes for her heroes, especially cute ones where she bought with impulse, but that did not increase her skill level as a gamer.

Shortly after login “LoL”, a QQ message popped out, it was from Han Leng. He invited Zhao Youyue to play with him so he could carry her up to a higher ranking in game because they were on the same server, “Mountain of God”. Another reason was this server had a lot of noobs, where it got the nickname, “Giant God’s Pit”. Han Leng was already at diamond level, he thought it should be not much of a problem to carry a bronze level Zhao Youyue.

Thirty minutes later, Zhao Youyue stared at the word “DEFEAT” on her screen, making her had the urge to delete the game, again.

On the other side, Han Leng stared at his screen awkwardly. He did not expect Zhao Youyue to be that bad in game, and the other teammate were not exactly helpful either. While his team managed to kill one or two enemies, their team ended up with a total wipe-out, he could not think of any excuses to cheer his teammates.

So it is this difficult to carry a girl to a higher ranking?

Han Leng had come to realize this harsh truth.

He was dumbfounded by Zhao Youyue’s amateurish gaming skills. But he still found her cute even so.

…

Zhao Youyue got tired of playing games, she decided to enter the mysterious Dimensional Gate once again for the third time. What literary world awaited her this time? she wondered as she fell asleep at night.
