Ch15 - Mad devil protecting wife

Edited by Abo Dammen

Jian Mei hurriedly sent the download link to Lu Xingwang. 

During this time, Jian Mei’s classmates asked him to pick the hero he wanted to play. There were numerous heroes among the warriors, assassins, tanks, mages, and support. Each position had its own unique charm and strength, but Jian Mei had only recently begun playing the game, thus he wasn’t very good at it. Thankfully, his teammates reminded him that there were now heroes free for a week. He could still use it even if he was a novice.

The tall boy was also very patient. “Meimei, do you have any heroes you want to play with?”

Jian Mei wasn’t very familiar with the game interface. He read through a lot of heroes’ skill introductions and asked him, “What’s the purpose of adding blood?”

The boy explained to him, “If we’re about to die when fighting with the enemy, you can add blood to us to save our lives. Only some support have healing skills l. For example, Cai Wenji is a healer. She can add a lot of blood with just one skill and one big move. Although she doesn’t have many attacks, she has a strong ability to protect her teammates in a team battle.” 

Jian Mei was also looking at this support hero.

He didn’t understand the game, but he wanted to protect his teammates. “Then I will play this.”

The tall boy Liu Can had no objections. “That’s okay, you’re only a novice. Cai Wenji isn’t difficult to play; all you have to do is just add blood to us. By the way, where’s your friend?”

Jian Mei quickly switched the app to look for Lu Xingwang.

He sent him a message and asked, “Has it been downloaded?”

Lu Xingwang looked at the game interface of The King. After logging in, he randomly selected a game area. When he entered, there was a ‘name’ in the game interface and there was also a dice that could give a random name. He was just playing casually, so he clicked on the dice for a random name and directly entered the game. Since he and Jian Mei were WeChat friends, he could invite him directly to the team lobby.

Jian Mei watched as a new friend appeared on his list. He was somewhat doubtful and asked, “That…is that you, Dazhuang?”

Lu Xingwang replied to him: [En.] 

Jian Mei swallowed the question he wanted to ask. He didn’t even dare to ask if this was his real name. Instead, he brought in Lu Xingwang first.

Liu Can sighed with regret when he saw another bronze. “Meimei, this friend of yours hasn’t played this game either?”

Jian Mei said, “That’s right.”

Liu Can took the two novices to a game match to familiarize them with the game first. Then he asked, “Is it convenient for him to open the microphone and talk?” 

The white avatar who ranked fifth in the team didn’t speak, but Jian Mei acted as a qualified translator. “It’s usually inconvenient for him, but he should be able to hear us.”

Liu Can was a little regretful when he heard that it was inconvenient, but he couldn’t force it. “Then let’s open a game match.”

The team opened a game match.

His other three classmates chose jungler, shooter, and mid laner. Jian Mei chose Cai Wenji, leaving Lu Xingwang on who was on the fifth of the list with no choice. Just as Jian Mei was about to teach him, he saw Lu Xingwang choose Arthur. 

Liu Can said, “Hang in there, brother. We will find the opportunity to support you.”

Jian Mei didn’t know what to do or where to go when the game started. Lu Xingwang, on the other hand, walked familiarly in the opposite way that shocked Jian Mei. “You’ve played this before.”

[No] Lu Xingwang typed in the game channel and replied to him straightforwardly, [It’s in the novice tutorial.]

It seemed there was such a thing. 

Jian Mei felt the gap in this world. He, too, was a novice like him, but he was like a headless fly in comparison to Lu Xingwang knew how to use all available resources for his own use and could get started as quickly as possible. Whether it was the mathematics before or The King today, it seemed that no matter what kind of situation he was in, he could definitely seize any opportunity to expand his advantages. It was terrifying.

“The enemy will reach the battlefield in five seconds, please be prepared.”

The mechanical female voice reminded Jian Mei to come to his senses. He collected his thoughts and fought with all his strength. After assisting the mid laner in clearing waves, he roughly understood that the hero with the red blood bar was the enemy, they couldn’t enter the opposite tower and it would hit him, and he had to help his teammates in pushing the tower.

The shooter on the developmental road sent a signal: Support, please follow me

Liu Can sighed on the mic, “Arthur, hold on. Be careful of the bushes, don’t get caught.”

Jian Mei was also very worried. 

Because Liu Can and others weren’t in bronze rank, and some were even in star rank, they would be matched with old players who were very good at playing even if they were playing a matching game mode. They appeared to have made a breakthrough when they discovered that Arthur was a novice and had no experience operating the hero.

Another announcement of kills appeared on the screen:

[Li Bai killed Arthur]

Support: Lu Bu 

Liu Can subconsciously said, “Brother, I’m playing red in the jungle area. If you don’t know how to play, just hide under the tower and don’t come out ah?”

However, when everyone looked at the minimap again, they found that the two people on the enemy side were forcibly killed when they were crossing over the tower. When Arthur died, he tried his best to clear out a wave of soldiers and save the defensive tower.

Liu Can’s breath suddenly hitched.

But Jian Mei didn’t understand games, he just asked with some doubts, “Why did the two people from the opposite side beat him?” 

Liu Can explained, “The jungler on the opposite side helps to fight and catch people. This is normal.”

“Oh.” Jian Mei who always seemed to have no thorns asked him, “Then who is our jungler ah, why not help?”

The jungler was him.

Liu Can, who was still blaming Arthur just now, shut his mouth and felt slightly frustrated. He clicked the ‘gather’ signal. This time he took the initiative to lay ambush on the bush on the way, but it was as if Arthur was aware of his plan and took the initiative to attract the tower. On the enemy’s side, Lu Bu had underestimated the enemy, so he went out of the tower without the slightest surprise, then he gave out skills, and his health was almost consumed half a bar by Arthur. 

Liu Can’s hero, Han Xin, jumped out in a haste and took Lu Bu’s blood with a set of skills.

Liu Can and Arthur only had half a life at this moment. Li Bai, the enemy’s jungler, quickly supported Lu Bu. He made a big move and directly scrapped what was left of Liu Can’s health. Liu Can immediately used a flash to escape, decisively leaving Arthur who was still in place behind and sold his teammate. Li Bai didn’t chase Han Xin who had fled and instead chose to kill Arthur who hadn’t moved yet.

Just as when the last trace of blood was about to emptied, all of a sudden he saw—

Cai Wenji, who had already covered more than half of the canyon map, ran towards Arthur without any hesitation. Her second skill was aimed at Li Bai while his big move forced Arthur’s health to increase. 

Arthur jumped up and didn’t let go of Li Bai, knocking out half-a-bar of his life. Just when he was about to take his head and kill him, Han Xin, who had escaped earlier, came back again. He killed Li Bai with a set of skills and claimed the head.

Liu Can was smug, “Double kill. Brother is awesome.”

The other two boys who weren’t on the scene blurted out praises in passing:

“The operation still depends on Brother Liu.” 

“Amazing, amazing, amazing.”

“This one is stable and steady.”

Only Jian Mei didn’t speak.

The short-legged Cai Wenji also followed Arthur, but because of his presence, after Lu Bu was resurrected, he didn’t dare to clean up his soldiers so arrogantly. Sometimes, he was controlled by Cai Wenji and could only take a set of skills from Arthur. 

Lu Bu was so angry that he opened up public chat and typed:

[The support on the other side. Arthur, do you have kidney deficiency?]

[Making me laugh. You play like this and still have the courage to take a girl, ah?]

The public chat kept flashing provocative words. Jian Mei was a little worried that Lu Xingwang would be angry. However, the next second, he saw Lu Xingwang type on the public chat and said to him: [Go back] 

Did the enemy Lu Bu’s words stimulate him?

Jian Mei wanted to rebut but Lu Xingwang had already returned to the defense tower. It was obvious that he didn’t want him to follow. Jian Mei felt a little aggrieved, but he had to lay ambush on the rickshaw and return to develop the shooter. Li Bai appeared on the road almost as soon as he left, and Daji appeared on the opposite side of the road. The three people seemed to have planned to cross the tower to kill each other. The battle was fierce.

If Jian Mei was in this wave, he could only accompany Lu Xingwang to die together.

The battle road was under the threat of being targeted for the rest of the game. Liu Can went to support a few times, but it was a rare occurrence. Lu Xingwang didn’t say a word from the beginning till the end. It was precisely because the development path took on the pressure, so other roads became downwind. They finally found a chance in a mistake made by the enemy during the team battle and narrowly won the game. 

After it ended, just as Jian Mei was about to say something, the other person had already opened up their mouth.

Liu Can said, “Xiaoxu and Xiaowang need to do their homework first, so they can’t come. Let’s start with just the three of us. We might match two passersby, but it’s not a big problem.”

They entered the interface to select a hero:

Jian Mei chose Cai Wenji. 

Liu Can still chose Han Xin to play as the jungler.

Lu Xingwang on the 4th of the list—

Just as when Jian Mei thought that Lu Xingwang would still play Arthur, the person on the 4th chose the free hero— Baili Shouyue.

This was a hero who traveled through the sky in every step, putting its operator’s accuracy and consciousness to the ultimate test. If he played well, he could be a god. If he didn’t play well, then he’d be fw . Not to mention in such a low-end game, even in a high-end game like King’s Glory, few people could play this hero well. 

Liu Can wailed and yelled, “Brother, don’t take Baili! This hero isn’t suitable for novices, it’s difficult to operate without a foundation!”

However, the time to choose heroes had ended and the game had started.

During the initial start-up of battle, every player’s hero would be displayed. When the players saw a novice Baili, they almost scolded the streets and felt they had encountered a pit again.

In this battle, Zhonglu was a passerby. 

On the enemy’s side, there were Angela and Zhong Kui. In the first minute of the game, Zhong Kui hit the leader and directly assisted Angela in killing the leader and got the first drop of blood.

Gan Jiang yelled, “Cai Wenji, what are you playing? Zhong Kui, don’t you know how to block it for me?”

Jian Mei was stunned. He had just played this game and didn’t understand it very much, so he blamed himself and apologized: [Sorry]

Gan Jiang continued to curse as he spoke, “I don’t know what kind of luck I had to meet your group. The bronzed rank novice still dared to take Baili Shouyue, and also this Cai Wenji was sleepwalking. How do you play with teammates like this?” 

Jian Mei’s lips pursed and the look in his eyes was somewhat helpless.

He didn’t know how to play and could only do whatever his teammates commanded him, so when Zhong Kui hooked Gan Jiang again, he moved a little forward to block the hook for the general. However, he was pulled over and killed.

The enemy’s taunting message appeared on the public chat:

Zhong Kui: [The Cai Wenji on the other side is really good at sending over herself.] 

Gan Jiang also started blaming Jian Mei. “You know that he’s going to hook. Why did you let him hook you? Did you do it on purpose?”

Jian Mei was still resurrecting when he saw that he was being named. He panicked and blamed himself for causing trouble to the team. When he was about to open the keyboard to type an apology, he suddenly heard a man’s voice in his ears. Lu Xingwang softly called out to him, “Jian Mei.”

Jian Mei was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied, “En?”

Lu Xingwang calmly said, “Come here.” 

Jian Mei blinked in confusion. Afterwards, he reacted and hurriedly replied, “Oh… uh, I’m coming.]

This was the first time Lu Xingwang opened the mic.

In the previous game, Arthur had been killed all the time. No matter how much pressure he was under, he didn’t open the mic at all and call anyone over.

Cai Wenji wandered down the road in a rickshaw and saw the invisible Baili Shouyi squatting in the brushes. Lu Xingwang said to him, “Go and destroy the soldiers.” 

Jian Mei obediently went to the front line.

Zhong Kui, the mid laner, saw that the support went down the road and followed him. His goal was very clear, he wanted to catch Cai Wenji, who was on the front line of battle, and take his head.

Unexpectedly—

“Bang!” 

A muffled gunshot from the bush hit Zhong Kui, knocking out his small amount of blood. Zhong Kui let out a low curse, but the distance was too far and he couldn’t hook him, so he could only continue walking towards Jian Mei. He wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, so he stretched out his hook to catch Jian Mei. However, Jian Mei had already learned from the last time he was hooked, so he changed position to avoid it.

“Bang!”

There was another shot from the bush, and Zhong Kui was left with only a trace of blood. This time, Zhong Kui finally panicked and hurriedly ran under his own defense tower. However, the shooter who was hidden in the brush moved just as he was about to enter the defense tower. A beautiful and sharp shooter. He predicted the precise position and shot decisively, the bullet passing through the river and landing accurately on the Zhong Kui, who only had a sliver of health. He died in his own defensive tower, such a great irony.

Two consecutive announcements immediately flashed up on the screen: 

[Shooting With Great Precision!]

[Baili Shouyue killed Zhong Kui]

At that moment, the entire canyon went silent. Whether it was Gan Jiang who was cursing earlier who happened to see this scene when he came to support in the middle or Zhong Kui, who was still very arrogant at the last second.

After that, messages appeared on the public channel. Lu Xingwang who hadn’t spoken from the beginning typed: 

“Is this the level of the opposite side?” Lu Xingwang returned the mockery on behalf of Jian Mei, saying, “Zhong Kui is also very good at sending over himself.”

The author has something to say:

There won’t be too much game content~ Girls who don’t play games don’t need to worry about this affecting the reading experience!

ps: The hero Baili Shouyue is the hero I am the most afraid of! 

It must be banned in the qualifying rounds!

But if it’s our teammate who plays Shouyue well, hey hey, forget I said it~
