Chapter 215: Chapter 177: Who Threw the Human Emperor Banner at My House? So Rude! (2)
Ning An sighed, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, just hoping this game would end soon.
To be honest, aside from the solo lane, the team’s performance this game was commendable. You could even vaguely see maneuvers and tactics from the Jungler that didn’t belong to this tier.
But no matter how skilled a master is, they can’t carry incompetent teammates.
Guan Yu kept getting solo killed by Mi Yue, and even ventured alone into enemy territory several times, getting mercilessly slaughtered, causing Ning An’s blood pressure to skyrocket.
"I think you should consider going AFK and letting the AI take over."
Jungler: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, don’t worry sis, we definitely won’t report you!"
Marksman: "As long as you let the AI out, we absolutely won’t report you. Whoever reports is a dog!"
Mage: "If I report you, may I forever be cheated on and have three sons, none of whom are mine!"
Lin Yanke: "No way!"
...
"Not joining the team fight, just standing idle in the bushes, are you on maternity leave?"
Lin Yanke proudly said, "A horse won’t have the energy for a fight if it doesn’t graze!"
...
"Took you that long to buy items? Were you trying to bargain?"
Lin Yanke, somewhat guilty, said, "How would I know if I didn’t try?"
...
"Were the minions pole dancing in front of you? You’re watching so intently."
Lin Yanke, with a weak voice, said, "There’s water on my screen, the buttons aren’t working."
...
"The way you’re feeding kills, how tall is the grass on your grave?"
Lin Yanke stayed silent: "..."
...
"See that jungle monster? You could make it your mentor."
...
"Hurry up and grab some kills to make your stats look decent, or your credibility score will be trashed."
...
"Seriously, don’t even know how to get kills?"
...
"Clear the minions, clear the minions! Without clearing the wave, where’s the money for shopping coming from!"
...
Ning An’s mouth was like it was dipped in poison; at first, Lin Yanke could retort a bit, but soon it was just silence after each comment.
No need to look; through the screen, hearing her heavy breathing, you’d know how upset she was now.
Not a curse word in sight, yet more cutting than vulgar language, making even the other teammates shake off their impending defeat with laughter.
"This support is killing me; their words are as sweet as honey."
"Dude, are you learning smack talk from TikTok every day? You’re killing me."
"Alright, alright, this has opened a whole new perspective for me. Dude, slow down, let me get a notebook to jot this down, so I can use it when I’m laning."
"This deserves to be preserved as cultural heritage! Such excellent traditional culture can’t be allowed to be stolen by Korea."
"Haha, they even learned their national banquet kimchi from our Northeast; their history is completely revised, it’s a joke."
...
Anyone who’s played mobile legends knows, this game, if you dare to win consecutively, it’ll arrange crappy teammates for you.
This match was the same; though other teammates were great, they just couldn’t cover for Lin Yanke’s constant feeding and flaws.
Directly turning a once victorious game into a struggle for survival.
And the most frustrating about this game is encountering lousy teammates, wanting to curse them but only getting asterisks in the chat, or using voice only to get reported and have your credibility score trashed.
And now Ning An’s passionate rebuke had released them.
"Ah, you..."
"Quick, come over and grab a kill."
Lin Yanke, embarrassed and angry, just about to curse back, heard Ning An calling.
Looking carefully, sure enough, right by the bush where Ning An was hiding, a half-health Daji was leisurely clearing minion waves.
Calculating her damage, plus the second skill could release her from Daji’s stun, Lin Yanke’s eyes sparkled:
"Hmph, don’t think a single kill will make me forgive you!"
"Consider this your interest!"
Saying this, she controlled Guan Yu to charge forward, even afraid a teammate might steal the kill, so she triggered a sprint, racing to the bottom lane at lightning speed.
"Hehe, little girl, take... take your life, oh crap?"
Just as Lin Yanke controlled Guan Yu to slash down, relishing the joy of securing a kill.
Not even done joyful yet, she saw Daji use the invincibility to avoid damage, and at the same time, two brute guys appeared, collaborating with the support Jiang Ziya, hacking away and making the grass over her grave grow even taller.
"My hair..."
"Brothers, attack!"
Lin Yanke was still in shock, while Ning An opened with a second skill, accelerated with an ultimate, followed by a wolf rush, perfectly controlling all opponents.
In a flash, all the teammates jumped out from the grass behind the opponent, instantly harvesting the opposing team.
The game had lasted over twenty minutes, and this play had flipped the tide completely.
Watching this, Lin Yanke finally understood—they used her as bait!!!
"Ning An!"
Right now, Lin Yanke wished she could storm back to Changchun Temple and bite Ning An twice with fury.
"You play a game and even plot against me, are you even human?!"
Lin Yanke was so angry that her tiger teeth were grinding, creaking audibly.
This guy not only harshly insulted her, calling her a noob, but also tricked her into being bait and giving away free kills!
Listen, is this what a senior brother should do?
Ning An pretended not to hear, cooperating with his teammates to counter-push and achieve victory!
Then he immediately quit the game, skillfully blacklisting all of Lin Yanke’s contact methods before comfortably tossing his phone aside.
For Ning An, Kings and Legends used to feel intense and thrilling.
But now, the most intense thrill comes from the system lottery!
Luckily, he’d saved up quite a few prize draws, planning to go all-in tonight!
"System, draw!"
With a wave of pale blue light, Ning An sat cross-legged in his room, watching the rewards on the screen with a look of agony.
[Divine Invitation Incense*3]
[Divine Invitation Incense*3]
[Ghost-Collecting Incense*6]
...
After numerous draws, Ning An felt his liver aching, thinking with eight or nine chances, he’d surely hit some good rewards.
But unexpectedly, six consecutive draws were either Divine Invitation Incense or Ghost-Collecting Incense.
"Bad luck is bad luck, but I can’t complain too much after having so much good luck before."
Ning An sighed, pressing the three-shot button again.
However, just as he pressed it with mixed feelings, some items with a different color than incense swiftly flashed by.
Feeling the dead silence inside him stir with excitement, Ning An thought he’d seen a touch of yellow!
Even if it wasn’t a legendary gold item, it had to be something good!
But soon, the system explanation made him crumble:
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a singularity reset!]
[Reward: Dragon-Seeking Ruler x5!]
"???"
Walt?
Ning An wore a puzzled expression—what the heck was this?
With a thought, the system quickly provided an explanation:
[Dragon-Seeking Ruler: In the initial phase, it can rapidly reflect the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land within a hundred miles, the deeper the color, the higher the Spiritual Qi concentration; intermediate phase, access denied.]
"..."
At this moment, Ning An was like a mute eating yellow lotus, unable to express his grievance.
This thing for him wasn’t totally useless; it was utterly useless.
His greatest reliance on the path of cultivation was the system cheat, not the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, nor even the Spiritual Qi of this world.
Moreover, all places are now nationalized; he couldn’t claim a mountain as king for secluded cultivation without checking if the government would agree!
"Fine, I’ll use them as back scratchers in the future."
Looking at the five Dragon-Seeking Rulers in his hand, Ning An chuckled bitterly and then eagerly glanced at the other two rewards.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a singularity reset!]
[Reward: Simplified Corpse Cultivation Technique!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing a singularity reset!]
[Reward: Weakly Refined Human Emperor Banner Method!]
Staring at these two defying rewards, Ning An was utterly dumbfounded.
"Come on, buddy... are you kidding me?"
If the Dragon-Seeking Rulers weren’t painful, then the Simplified Corpse Cultivation Technique and Weakly Refined Human Emperor Banner Method felt like a storm.
He was just a little Daoist quietly cultivating, what was he supposed to do with this stuff?!
Dark clouds pressing on the city, an army of millions of zombies, invincible against blades and guns, holding the dusky Human Emperor Banner, turning the world into Dragon Country’s backyard???
"You think I can withstand this world’s nukes, don’t you!"
"Damn system!"
Ning An felt on the verge of collapse. Driven by a spirit of not wasting anything, he briefly skimmed through the two skill sets and tossed them aside.
Smoothing his chaotic emotions, Ning An tidied up these useless yet menacing items before shutting down the system panel.
"Though, these things don’t seem to be completely useless..."
Ning An suddenly seemed to have a revelation, the gleam of cunning flashing in his eyes.
