Chapter 39 - I’m meeting someone ah.
Thank you for the Ko-Fi, Noelle~
In the video, the game officially started and KK led Li Bai towards the jungle to clear the monsters, and his actions were executed in an agile manner. Draped in a Phoenix Seeking Phoenix skin, Li Bai looked natural and unrestrained, and he made a beautiful painting of himself as he simultaneously took down the blue monster and another monster camp, making him truly worthy of admiration.
This was the first time You Liangxing watched a video from an anchor from start to finish, and it was rare that he did not find the contents of it superficial. The male voice in his ears said: “Actually, there’s a problem with asking me to make a tutorial for the hero Li Bai, because, does Li Bai even need a tutorial? When it comes to Li Bai, just randomly play him and it’s good enough. Everyone look~”
Accompanying KK’s voice, the level four Li Bai rushed into the middle lane where the two opposing mages were fighting. Carrying a decisive bearing, he arrived by the enemy’s side, sword shadows flying, and in the turn of an eye, he disappeared from the lane.
He came quickly and left without a sound, and the game announcement filled the void of silence he left.
— First Blood!
“Did everyone see that? Isn’t it very easy, you just have to mimic this feeling. Now, we’ll make a round in the bottom lane, ha~”
KK’s voice was very distinct; he would elongate the end of his sentences every time, and it brought about an ambiguity that could not be clearly explained. It might sound normal to You Liangxing because he was of the same gender, but it might not be the case for females.
Initially, You Liangxing wanted to watch the video in its entirety without audio, but a sudden desire to see the what the audience was saying arose. He allowed the comments again, and the screen was sheeted over with a barrage of different colours.
【Pei! How is this easy!】
【Why are you speaking of such irrelevant things in a tutorial! Can you teach properly!】
【Don’t think we don’t know that you just want people to praise you; fine, fine, fine, you’re the best! Is this good enough? Are you happy now?】
【KK is basically a seiyuu being held back by games, and I kindly suggest that you return back to your day job.】
KK’s voice held a tinge of laughter, and the different voices in the comments seemed to have no effect on him. He took the opportunity to survey the entire situation of the game on the mini map whenever he could and ran around the map in a disruptive manner. He treated the enemy’s jungle as his own, entering and exiting as he pleased, and even when he was being surrounded by three enemies while he was stealing their red, KK had no trace of panic in his voice.
“Alright, fine, fine, I’ll listen to you guys, Li Bai is not hard to play, I’ll explain his skills briefly.”
【Speak now!!】
&#k3010;Count your blessings, you still had five seconds before the bullet reached the battlefield!&#k3011;
Clearing his throat, KK cut straight to the point and explained Li Bai’s first, second and third ability, in that order. You Liangxing had the habit of coming fully prepared whenever he did something, and games were not an exception to the rule. He had reviewed Li Bai’s abilities beforehand, but it felt nice to hear KK narrate what he already knew.
You Liangxing listened and watched the video conscientiously. After KK completed his explanation, he put what he previously said into practice at once; his actions were very fast, his sword shadow had yet to dissipate when he finished casting all his abilities and walked away with the enemy’s head.
“How about that! Is my sword fast enough~”
【Fast!!! Husband, you’re the fastest!!!】
【The sword is fast enough, the person is also despicable enough hahahahaha!】
KK concluded: “And that’s how Li Bai is played, just follow what I said, and playing him will be a non-issue, en? You’re asking how do you fight against a Li Bai if you meet one? If you do meet one, then fight him head on ah~ Why? Because the number of players who can play as well as I can are very few~”
The barrage of comments scrolled across the screen.
【WTF!! I always knew you didn’t want your face!!】
【The sudden frivolity broke this father’s waist!】
【Groaning, why does bragging go unpunished!】
You Liangxing quirked his mouth, having some thoughts and feelings about what Liao Su had said prior. KK’s live broadcasting room was extremely lively, and KK’s tone became more serious: “Alright, okay, fine, I’ll speak seriously. If you were to meet a player who is skilled at Li Bai, and by that I mean, a Li Bai who plays like me, en~ What should you do if you meet such a Li Bai! There’s no need to be afraid, I’ll tell you how to combat him, so listen closely, you should just....”
KK spoke to that point before he gave a pause. Having heard the key phrase of what he was interested in, You Liangxing could not help but pay attention.
The next second, the laughter in KK’s voice grew thicker, and he said with finality: “Surrender~ If you meet a Li Bai like mine, what are you even fighting for, just stop fighting and immediately surrender hahaha~”
You Liangxing: “......”
You Liangxing felt the inhaled air lodge itself in his throat and he had the sudden urge to punch someone. He frowned for a mere second before he chuckled in the midst of his righteous impulse. He did not know why but the feeling the anchor gave was inexplicably familiar.
The video ended soon after, and You Liangxing aborted the action of the video shutting off on its own. He rewound the video, and re-watched the instances where KK was fighting with Li Bai twice.
Even though KK said that it was best to surrender in face of a Li Bai like his, You Liangxing did not think it was impossible to fight against him. After scrutinising the footage carefully, he realised that KK’s maneuverers had a small pattern; his actions might be natural and unrestrained, keen and rapid even, but strong personal habits underlined it. Hence, it was not an impossibility.
If he met a Li Bai like his, You Liangxing felt that he might even have a chance to win.
You Liangxing gathered his concentration and studied KK’s positioning as he played Li Bai for a good while to learn a method to specifically counter him. The longer he studied, the greater he felt the possibility was. The time was going to be 10:30 soon, and You Liangxing was only made aware of that fact when the reminder he set five minutes before the appointed time rang.
What he researched was KK’s Li Bai.... Everyone had different idiosyncrasies; it was useful against [KK] but it might not be the case for [Ah Sheng].
You Liangxing sighed. Within the last few minutes, he suddenly had a strange thought. On the MengMao TV live broadcast interface’s homepage recommendation, KK was currently broadcasting live.
Pausing for a moment, You Liangxing lowered his head and registered an account.
After watching KK’s video and tuning into the broadcast right after, it seemed to pull close the distance between them. This was the first time You Liangxing was watching a broadcast as it was going live, and it was a little hard to adapt.
However, he was not given the time to adapt either because just as he entered the live broadcasting room, the comments were filled with a farewell declaration.
【Ahhh why is it half past ten again, KK, don’t go!!!!】
【The time passes so fast, ying ying ying, stupid KK is going to stop broadcasting again.】
【KK really doesn’t even miss a single second, if there is a day where KK broadcasts for two extra minutes, the sky is going to rain red.】
【I don’t know if this is called dedication or not! KK what are you rushing off for!!】
He came at an inopportune time; KK was about to end the broadcast and You Liangxing happened to stumble upon the last two minutes. He heard KK say: “Of course I’m in a hurry, my night life is about to begin.”
His audience started raising a hue and cry.
【Ahhhhhhhh shut up! What night life! You’re so dirty!】
【Is your night life more important or are your fans more important!】
【Just say it directly! What have you been doing every night!】
KK’s voice stopped, and he chuckled softly before replying: “I’m meeting someoneah.”
The comments exploded instantaneously. 【Ah????? Meeting someone!?!? What do you mean meeting!!! Aren’t you a single dog!?】
【WTS!! What kind of ghost is this! KK, you already have so many wives, why are you still meeting someone!】
【Who are you meeting, hello?!】
However, the time hit half past ten and KK ended his broadcast promptly. The broadcast went dark, but the fans in the live broadcasting room were still throwing a huge fuss. You Liangxing followed and left the webpage.
The timing was just right; when he opened King’s Glory and logged in the game, [don’t want to move] happened to come online on his friends’ list too.
Very punctual.
They had yet to start a game when [don’t want to move] messaged him: — Good evening.
You Liangxing replied: — Good evening.
[don’t want to move] cut the chase and asked: — Let’s open a game, what do you want to play?
You Liangxing considered for a moment, replying: — solo.
He had not forgotten the duel that occurred in the afternoon, but he was afraid that the other party would not catch his meaning, so he elaborated: — Li Bai.
There was no need for him to think further, Kang Shengzhe grasped You Liangxing’s meaning in an instant. It was absurdly obvious; he was dissatisfied with the results of the match between Gong Sunli and Li Bai. Kang Shengzhe could not help but rotate his wrist a little before confirming: — I’m playing Li Bai?
You Liangxing: — En.
Kang Shengzhe revealed a smile and typed: — ummmmm.... You’ll lose.
You Liangxing: — Try it.
