Ye Xian rubbed his hands together, already preparing to happily embrace fatherhood.
However, the other members of the YFD team were all jealous. Ye Xian was about to become President Bo’s son—how cool was that? They wanted in on it too!
Ye Xian had just left the team and was thinking about inviting him when he realized... she hadn’t even added him as a friend.
It suddenly dawned on her why he was so angry that night.
She had promised to send him skins, yet she hadn’t even added him as a friend, and she promised to play games together but ditched him to go drinking instead. Anyone would have been furious.
Ye Xian quickly added him as a friend and sent him all of Han Xin’s skins.
On the Solo interface—
Brother Shen, "Already starting to bribe dad, huh?"
Ye Xian, "Pah! I’m just keeping my promise."
Brother Shen, "Oh, so you remember?"
Ye Xian, "Hehehe, sorry Brother Shen, I’m a bit forgetful."
Brother Shen, "Clearly, always forgetting what you’ve said"
Why does this sound so familiar?
Ye Xian didn’t think much of it and chose Baili Shouyue on the hero selection screen.
This hero kills quickly, three shots and it’s done.
But as the game started, she realized that Brother Shen had chosen King Lanling! (King Lanling: an assassin who can turn invisible. When he gets close, you can only see the warning signal above his head, but not his actual location)
Unable to hear each other in the combat interface, Ye Xian typed on the screen: Brother Shen, that hero you picked is pretty sneaky!
Brother Shen, "Concede directly?"
Ye Xian, "Don’t even think about it, watch how I’ll take you down."
Brother Shen, "Really?"
Ye Xian, "Of course. You haven’t seen the stream of me and Little Bitch at Langya, have you? I was using Baili Shouyue then. The video went viral, and everyone started calling me Ye Sanqiang!"
Brother Shen, "I think it’s more like Ye Three Seconds."
Ye Xian, "You’re the three seconds!"
Brother Shen, "You’ll know soon whether I’m in three seconds or not."
Ye Xian was typing when suddenly the signal for King Lanling’s invisibility appeared overhead.
Thinking he could ambush her? Fat chance!
Ye Xian quickly set up her gun, crouched in place, and began firing all around, but due to hero suppression, she couldn’t pinpoint King Lanling’s exact location. Thankfully, Baili Shouyue’s first skill involves setting an eye on the ground that provides vision, revealing any invisible heroes that pass by it.
As the signal for King Lanling disappeared, Ye Xian hurriedly placed an eye on the ground. However, in that split second, King Lanling suddenly appeared, closed in with a combo that left her with just a sliver of health. Just as Ye Xian was about to fire at him, King Lanling executed a kill move.
Her avatar turned gray.
The system announced, "First Blood."
She hadn’t even realized what happened.
She hadn’t even fired her gun.
Ye Xian, "That’s not fair. You’re an assassin that can turn invisible, which naturally suppresses me, and then you even use an execution move! That’s plain cheating."
Brother Shen, "Would you say that to your opponent on the field?"
Brother Shen, "Your loss in this solo match wasn’t due to hero suppression or skills, but because of your arrogance. You thought you could take any hero and defeat the opponent. In a real match, you need to assess the situation and choose your hero and strategy based on your opponent’s weaknesses and battle tactics."
Although Ye Xian was reluctant to admit it, she couldn’t deny he was right.
It was because she underestimated him that she chose Baili Shouyue in the solo match, a hero too dependent on teammates, lacking displacement and easily breached without support.
Ye Xian, "Let’s go again!"
Brother Shen, "First say."
"..." Ye Xian feigned ignorance, "Say what?"
Brother Shen, "What do you think?"
Ye Xian, "I don’t know."
Brother Shen, "Then say whatever you want, as long as you like, I’m all ears."
Ye Xian, "..." How did that sound so weird?
"Ah, that match was a slip-up, it doesn’t count, let’s do best of five!"
