Chapter 86 (2/2)

“There’s a big discrepancy between your equipment. Though the arena is already more balanced, but it can’t be completely balanced… so don’t give a hoot about it, Hoodlum Tang.”

“Don’t forget Hoodlum Tang, even ‘Unpleasant Rain’ had defeated you, but it could not change the reality that he is a ladyboy fat otaku, while you are the most handsome internet cafe manager!”

“Such a dishonorable player like ‘Unpleasant Rain’ should be tracked down and beaten to death someday. That fellow is way too arrogant!”

…

As everyone was actively comforting Tang Yongkai, he who had sunk into depression for just thirty seconds, again giggled optimistically. It was uncertain how many times he had been tortured by his boss Lin Feng, he had thus cultivated a sturdy heart, another trait of him that was appreciated by Lin Feng.

Without a sturdy heart in a 5v5 team battle, one would not be able to perform in a downbeat battle [1]. Know that the team battle in “Eternal War” is not as simple as PK, the character required growth during the early game to farm the unique items in “Eternal War”, such as equipment, auras, etc.

Even for the God of Tycoon players[2] who own superior equipment at the start, if they do not obtain a good amount of last hits for character growth in the early game, their total equipment would be surpassed in the late game. Hence, the rich Esports clubs always like to play with early-game strategy to rely on the advantages of superior equipment, while the small Esports clubs like to play with late-game strategy, their favorite quote – Play safe like a turtle and grow, don’t rush.

…

The most powerful Esports teams would be those which are initially strong in early game, yet able to grow rapidly, thus become inconceivably powerful in late game. The “rifle king” Zhou Zhelin was famous for her swift farming and strong laning. If she could be protected by the team from any sudden attackers like assassin, ninja or swordmistress until the late battle, basically the victory of team battle had been secured.

Seeing the smile on Tang Yongkai’s face, Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Tang Yongkai would suffer a mental breakdown due to being tortured by “Unpleasant Rain”. Without a doubt, the PK prowess of “Unpleasant Rain” was already considered as professional level, while Tang Yongkai’s solo-battle skills were actually below his team-battle skills, so it was common for him to be crushed to pulp by “Unpleasant Rain”.

Anyway, who is this “Unpleasant Rain”?

Lin Feng was pretty sure that she was not a professional player, and definitely not a celebrity professional player. But her gaming skills were celebrity-level. He could not help searching for the name “Unpleasant Rain” in team battle scoreboard. To his utter surprise, this “Unpleasant Rain” had never played a team battle!

At this moment, Lin Feng’s love for talents prickled. He could not wait to pull “Unpleasant Rain”, this seemingly new person to his team.

…

In reality, Ye Hai was typing frantically. It was obvious that he had been writing in an intoxicated state. The words he wrote were more beautiful than what Zhao Youyue had experienced in the world of novel, especially the PK part in which “Unpleasant Rain” brought “Hoodlum Master” to his knees. It was as if he had entered “The Strongest King” and witnessed all of this on his own, not to mention that writing the game contents was his specialty. Imagine how surprised his wife Li Mengyao would be when he showed her this part of the story!

Translation Note:

[1] Downbeat battle(逆风战) refers to the battle phase that is close to losing; upbeat battle (顺风战) refers the battle phase that is close to winning

[2] Play cowardly and grow, don’t rush (猥琐发育,别浪) – a quote from the game “King of Glory (王者荣耀)” in China, means play safe in early-game, focus in farming and avoid any big team battles until the team has grown into a powerful shape.
