Chapter 4: Everyones Goodness. (1/2)

Liao Su had been playing King’s Glory for a long time, and with a lot of effort, he managed to reach the rank of half a king, and came to a standstill on Xingyao last season. After he attained the rank of Xingyao, he virtually floated in the division in vicissitudes; while he had attempted to overcome the last frontier several times, he could only kneel in front it in the end, unable to become a King.

Even though he didn’t manage to enter the ranks of King, Liao Su’s level was pretty good among ordinary players. And according to his wishes, carrying Liang Chuhan around to abuse the weaker players in the Gold division in a cool manner was definitely not an issue.

Furthermore, You Liangxing had just registered, and the opponents that they would be matchmade against in the bronze division were basically all novices, posing no challenge at all. And everyone who played King’s Glory knew that there was a matchmaking rating (MMR) within the game, and only players of similar ranks can be matchmade together. Naturally, Liao Su could not use his main account to play.

Instead he used a smurf account that he had not logged into for a long time. Coincidentally, it was ranked silver, and silver and gold players could be matchmade together. On the left (or bottom) he could pull in You Liangxing, and on the right, he could pull in Liang Chuhan. It was perfect. Thinking that, Liao Su could not help but shoot a glance at You Liangxing, looking forward tonight.

Yes, he had always been crushed by You Liangxing in all aspects, he had to properly show off in front of Liang Chuhan in the game tonight!

He would make sure that You Liangxing was the one being silenced and he would make Liang Chuhan shed tears for him, and their favourable impressions of him would soar. The future of carrying a girl and a little brother in game were boundless!

While Liao Su was merrily dreaming, You Liangxing entered the newcomer’s tutorial.

Every player who had just registered in the game had to use the hero Arthur to run through the gameplay. You Liangxing looked at his own screen layout and controlled the left and right directions according to the instructions with his left hand.

Once he got the basic operations down, You Liangxing’s response to it was rather flat. King’s Glory was not difficult to play; even a newcomer would easily understand it.

In a nutshell, King’s Glory was a 5v5 team competitive tower-pushing game. Both sides had to choose their favoured heroes to participate in the battle, and the winning condition was to destroy the opposing side’s crystal nexus. Throughout the game, the enemies and allies were separated into three lanes, and each lane had three defensive towers, and one lane had to broken through completely before they could reach the opponent’s nexus.

Kill and push towers, it was that simple.

You Liangxing followed the game’s prompts to first play a match against bots, and he only noticed the name above his avatar when he entered the game. Prior to that, he was more focused on the rules of the game, and the name managed to make him unhappy in two words (or five characters in Chinese):

— Everyone’s Goodness.

No wonder Liao Su was constantly smirking; the desire to raise his leg to kick Liao Su deepened within You Liangxing, but the match had already begun and You Liangxing could only glare at his silly friend before he continued playing the game.

Playing against bots was easy, but it was useful for novices to grasp the gameplay. It also allowed players to try out the different skills the heroes possessed and improve their experience with it. After finishing the match, the training camp for newcomers was considered completed, and he immediately entered the queue to experience what it was like to play against real players.

Once he started playing, it continued on for four hours. After the session, he reviewed all the general knowledge he had gained in regard to King’s Glory once, which was a habit that You Liangxing had whenever he did something. After checking on him a few times, Liao Su’s gaze was full of gratification.

“Honestly, I’m won over by the earnestness you invest into everything you do. If I had half your effort, I would have became a King a long time ago.”

That being said, rankings within a game could not be improved overnight unless the person was some kind of prodigy. However, Liao Su did not care much for it either, continuing to talk and laugh, even voluntarily going out to grab You Liangxing some food.

After the dinner break, You Liangxing boxed for an hour and the dormitory was filled with sounds of his fists impacting the sandbag dully. When Liao Su first heard it, his state of mind had constantly rippled, but now he was just clutching onto his phone while waiting patiently. Once it was nine o’ clock, Liao Su instantaneously jumped out his chair. “Brother Liang, Brother Liang! Quickly! Quickly get online! Come come!”

After exercising, You Liangxing rolled his shoulders back, and he took off his gloves and shirt, exposing the muscles that he maintained through exercise. The slender fit of his muscles was wrapped around a perfect skeletal structure and his naturally white skin was covered with a light sheen of sweat. The dormitory seemed to be filled with hormones that could make a person’s mouth go dry.

Once he changed into a fresh shirt, You Liangxing sat down before entering the game. Since his breathing was still unstable, he chose to only accept Liao Su’s invitation after he had calmed down a little. Similarly, Liao Su also waited on him, and while You Liangxing’s breath was neither heavy nor light, he didn’t dare to open his voice channel.

“Are you settled?”

You Liangxing did not answer and tapped to agree to join the room. The room already had two people and with one glance, he ascertained that【I just like running】 was Liao Su and the other【Monthly Refreshing Breeze】was probably Liang Chuhan.

Liao Su opened his voice channel and coughed twice, “Junior school sister, can you hear me?”

Liang Chuhan’s voice was gentle and magnanimous, “I hear you, Liao-xuezhang.”

Since another person was being dragged into a room that already had two persons, how could Liang Chuhan fail to guess who the newcomer was? But after seeing the name【Everyone’s Goodness】she could not help but ask with some uncertainty, “You-xuezhang?”

The answer became obvious; Liang Chuhan looked at the microphone sign next to You Liangxing’s avatar. Sure enough, even though his communication channel was open, he did not speak.

“He hasn’t played the game for long and his gameplay is so-so. You don’t have to care about him; it’s good enough if you’re happy. Right, you don’t have to call me school senior, just call me Liao Su.”

Liang Chuhan did not insist on being too polite, “Shall we start?”

Liao Su: “Okay.”

The icon for a match found lit up, and Liang Chuhan looked at You Liangxing’s avatar as if she was spellbound.

Not even a single greeting, and even when they were playing games, he did not say a single word. While Liang Chuhan did not express it, she felt a little lost in her heart, and it was even tinged with a tad bit regret. On the other hand, she was not worried in the least when it came to the match they were entering.

The time she spent playing the game was not short, spanning about two seasons. Compared to the players who were concerned about their results, her performance was not weak either. It was one of the reasons why she was so calm and collected when she was going to play a bronze division match with You Liangxing.

Currently, she was on her smurf account.

When Liao Su had asked her what her rank was, Liang Chuhan had lied. Although she had said that she was Gold in the moment, her actual rank was Xingyao. Even though the seat she occupied was in lower rungs of Xingyao, her skills were definitely not weak.

It was not nice to say it directly but everyone had their own thoughts; while it was a bronze, sliver and gold team on surface, it actually hid two Xingyao-ranked players. With such a line-up going against a bronze team, it was basically one side abusing the other, and the latter was destined to fall.

Entering the game, Liao Su said in a relaxed manner: “Brother Liang, you pick first.”

When most newcomers started playing the game, they were more likely to pick a marksman to play, with Hou Yi being one of the popular picks. Liao Su was scared that his reaction would be slow so he selected the hero for him first, but who would have thought that You Liangxing would immediately pick Zhuang Zhou, a hero that could either play tank or auxiliary.
