Chapter 214: Chapter 177: Who Threw the Human Emperor Banner at My House? How Rude!
With the emergency meeting concluded, the draft was directly turned into a law and disseminated to local areas.
At the same time, special commissioners stationed in various places took action, merging forces to immediately establish the Bureau for Investigation and Management of Non-Natural Phenomena in Dragon Country.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted attention, with many forces, openly and secretly, attempting to probe but ultimately failing due to excellent confidentiality measures.
Besides the Capital City, the fastest to implement these measures was Y City.
The local officials had already been driven to distraction by zombies, and now they were eager to give their all to push through this measure.
Meanwhile, considering the information provided by Ma Baoguo, the officers investigating Changchun Temple, Lin Nanbei, and others, along with the peculiar yet bizarre nature of Changchun Temple, the authorities compared data and used AI to arrive at a professional evaluation:
A person who loves life, has a chivalrous heart, is charitable, resembling the timely rain Song Jiang!
Most importantly, he obviously possesses supernatural powers, yet he hasn’t become unbalanced and continues to blend in with ordinary people.
Rare!
Truly rare!
Regarding this, the authorities decided not to take any aggressive action but intended to send someone to probe indirectly first.
Ning An, of course, was unaware of all this.
When he returned to the temple, he tidied it up, and by the time everything was done, it was only ten o’clock at night.
For most working-class people, this is when life truly begins.
A philosopher once said it well: Why do young people nowadays like staying up late?
Because during the day, their time isn’t their own. After a day of exhaustion, only at night, when they return home and lie on their beds, does time belong to them.
Though Ning An wasn’t one of the working class, he didn’t have the habit of sleeping early.
With nothing else to do, he took out his phone, ready to play a couple of thrilling rounds of the mobile game.
"Timi~~"
Ning An just went online and claimed two event rewards when he saw a team invite pop up.
He was about to click confirm, momentarily hesitated, and checked his inventory to ensure he still had a rank protection card before resolutely accepting the invite.
"Ning An, I tell you, after so many years of not playing games, you’ve been left behind by the updates!"
"I’ve been honing my skills all these years, and now I’m a legend!"
"Prepare to be crushed by me, hahaha."
Hearing the arrogant voice from the voice chat, Ning An calmly replied:
"Is a point warrior worth bragging about?"
This is how a straight guy can walk straight into a girl’s heart with a single sentence.
Sure enough, after Ning An said that, there was silence over the mic for a long time.
Finally, a voice came back, indignant and angry:
"Let’s see who’s the hero and who’s the zero, we’ll settle this in game!"
With those harsh words, Lin Yanke apparently wanted to prove her point and instantly locked in Guan Yu during the hero selection phase.
This left Ning An with a twisted expression, his urge to lash out barely hidden.
"Lin Yanke, if you want to take my stars, just say so. No need to be so complicated."
"..."
Though Ning An wasn’t much of a gamer, he knew that Guan Yu is a hero that requires great skill and awareness.
If played well, the potential is high, but if not, there’s no limit to how bad it can be.
Just like how Yinuo’s one slash back then directly cut off the team’s opportunity to ascend.
Before ranking points became a strategy in the game, Lin Yanke was at most Platinum and hadn’t even reached the Eternal Diamond rank.
The heroes she commonly used were Angela, Daji, Wang Zhaojun, and occasionally tougher support characters if she died too much in a game.
Now, for such a player to pick Guan Yu out of the blue, how could it not be concerning?
Ning An, with a dark expression, randomly chose a hero.
What’s the point in fighting? Let’s just surrender already!
Seeing Ning An casually pick support Liu Shan, Lin Yanke was angry, huffing and puffing: "Don’t believe me, do you? Watch me pull off some flashy moves!"
Soon, the game started.
As Ning An expected, in just one and a half minutes, Lin Yanke’s Guan Yu was slain by the opponent’s Mi Yue after she invaded the red buff area with tears in her eyes.
"How did that Mi Yue invade the jungle? And succeed, no less. Is our jungler any good?"
"The solo lane is for real men to duke it out one-on-one. Isn’t it gross for him to play that hero there?"
"Where’s our jungler, did anyone see..."
Lin Yanke was just about to blame the jungler, Liu Bei.
Halfway through her rant, she saw Liu Bei invade the opponent’s jungle, taking down the monkey and securing a kill for mid in the process.
"I..."
Lin Yanke felt like she had a lump in her throat.
The jungler, hearing this, opened the voice channel and said: "Sister, you better start using your hands. If you keep playing with your feet, we’re going to lose."
Not realizing the disrespect hidden in the statement, Lin Yanke naively said: "No, I’m using my hands."
Hearing this, Ning An was slightly exasperated and said over the mic: "As soon as you respawn, move, or are you busy tiling the fountain?"
Realizing she was insulted, Lin Yanke finally reacted.
She thought, were they both dissing her?
Immediately, she retorted: "That Mi Yue stuck to me after taking red, I couldn’t escape!"
"The jungler, you weren’t tending to your jungle and instead went to invade, how is that my fault?"
"And the support, if you had come with me at the start, I would’ve gotten first blood, and they wouldn’t have!"
