Chapter 6: If you have the ability, play Zhong Kui.

Liang Chuhan paused before she hastily responded with a noise. As she was looking at the game interface, she was no longer as calm as she was before. She was actually in a duo with You Liangxing in game…

Unthinkable.

Liang Chuhan coughed slightly and she didn’t know what she should say. Although she knew that she would not gain anything out of the game, she was hoping she could leave a favourable impression on You Liangxing. As she opened her mouth to find a topic, the list of heroes appeared on the left side.

You Liangxing: — Pick the hero you want to play.

—As per usual, he chose to type. Liang Chuhan scrolled through the list of heroes before settling on the auxiliary Ming Shiyin. She subconsciously thought, it would be good if You Liangxing chose a marksman and laned with her, since she would have more opportunities to speak to You Liangxing.

However, You Liangxing did not choose a marksman.

As he was looking through his scarce options of heroes, he hesitated for a moment before he picked the blue mage hero – Zhong Kui.

While he hadn’t played him before, he wanted to try it out.

After You Liangxing confirmed his pick, a rustling sound suddenly transmitted into his ear. On the avatar of the player on the right of him, a microphone sign appeared under it. A second later, a young voice suddenly spoke.

“Oya~ someone picked Zhong Kui.”

That voice sounded extremely close. Since You Liangxing had the team’s voice channel open, he knew that the person on the third floor was speaking. While he did not care for the teammates he was matchmade with most of the time, this person’s voice was too special. Once it landed in his ears, You Liangxing felt his entire body go numb and his brows subconsciously twisted together.

Very familiar… where did he hear it before?

The male continued to speak as if he was talking to someone else. “Hahahaha, a bronze Zhong Kui, I don’t know how well they will play. What? Me, laughing at others, do I look like that sort of person? En, all of you are right, I really am.”

Even though Liang Chuhan was speaking in the duo voice channel, what she was listening in on was the all chat, and she wondered: “Game anchor?”

You Liangxing: — No need to care about him.

“Okay.” Liang Chuhan wasn’t too concerned about him either. Compared to game anchors, You Liangxing was better at occupying her thoughts.

“What should I play,” the male anchor was minding his own business and continuing with his work. The intonation he used as he spoke was a little strange; the end of his sentences were unconsciously elongated, and coupled with his perfect su-like voice, it felt somewhat ridiculous.

“I’ll play jungle. Since it is the last match of the day, I will lay bare to everyone my bird. Don’t be excessive, whoever called me a perverted anchor, my bird and I will definitely not let you go.”

Just as the words landed, the third floor (or player) chose the hero Naoko Lulu, a girl character with an eagle.

While playing the game, the male anchor’s su-like voice constantly ringing in his ears was no better than Liao Su’s chatter. It had his thoughts in turmoil, and You Liangxing frowned. At the present moment, he was not the only person who was upset. In the bathroom on the first floor of the dormitory building, Liao Su was holding onto his tablet and mourning silently.

What the hell was this!

Why! Why was it that just as he was kicked out, You Liangxing was queued up with his idol KK!

He also wanted to play games with KK!

When he left the dormitory, it wasn’t ten o’ clock yet. Since he was idle, he had wondered if KK was still live broadcasting and he immediately took the time to enter his live broadcasting room. As soon as he entered, the discussion was already very lively.

【I knew there would be such a day.】

【Trash KK, I don’t believe that your main account is really banned!】

【Confess, how many games have you played behind our backs again!】

【Obviously, you just wanted to go to bronze and abuse the weaker players!】

After scanning the comments that flashed by quickly, Liao Su realised that today’s broadcast was slightly different. The account that KK was using was not the one he usually used for live broadcasting. Rather, it was a newly opened bronze account.

“Just one round, I am bringing all of you around to appreciate the graceful bearing of bronze players.”

KK’s voice was smooth and pleasant as ever, without a hint of remorse or unease from being temporarily suspended because he had been playing for too long. When he opened his mouth, his entire audience drank it up.

【Fine fine fine! You’re right.】

【I will tolerate it this time! If you don’t get twenty kills I will object!】

【Fearful, what if KK realises that his true final destination is bronze?】

Liao Su laughed along, holding his tablet as he continued to watch with much zeal. If KK was playing in the bronze division, he would definitely torture the opposing side until they exploded. For the live audience who were watching, it would be an entertaining visual experience.

The game started and entered hero selection. KK’s sigh, tinged with a smiling feeling, caught his attention.

“Oya~ someone picked Zhong Kui.”

Not only Liao Su, the entire live broadcasting room suddenly burst out into a wave of laughter.

【Hahahaha Zhong Kui!!】

【Who gave you the courage to mention Zhong Kui, are you Fish Leong!】

Speaking of Zhong Kui, it was one of the interesting tidbits about KK that every KK fan knew.

Whenever KK broadcasted, he always did whatever he wanted. He knew how to play every hero and he was skilled at each and every one of them, with one sole exception: Zhong Kui.

The most difficult and most important aspect regarding Zhong Kui was his second skill: wherein the hero wielded his void chain scythe to hook in his target when casted. The skillshot required some ability to use, and while KK’s technique had always been praised by fans as a ‘show of flowers’, he could only fold when it came to the hero Zhong Kui.

He had live broadcasted the hero three times, and not once did he have good results to show for when it came to hooking accurately. The most notable incident was a match he played with two other game anchors in the King division. Even with two great gods, they were unable to carry him and all of them dropped down the ladder as a result, temporarily becoming the ‘beauty talk’ of the community.

Ever since then, everyone knew that Zhong Kui was KK’s black hole. Every time it was mentioned, everyone would pay close attention to it. And now, KK actually dared to laugh at someone else, so the fans exploded.

【Mother ei, is your Zhong Kui even bronze standard, how dare you have the face to laugh at others!】

【KK, you need to open your eyes and see the world!】

【A true warrior, daring to face up to his own trashy Zhong Kui.】

Liao Su watched on happily, and the person who chose Zhong Kui suddenly typed: — No need to care about him.

With the sudden text, it was easy to realise that he was talking to his own party member, and the audience started discussing.

【Right, there is no need to care about this KK, give him a good show!】

【For ignoring this KK, well done!】

【Yohoho, managed to queue with an elevated and cold teammate.】

【But the name isn’t elevated and cold at all, hei hei hei.】

When playing games, very few people would pay attention to someone else’s in-game name. In King’s Glory, people were more concerned about what hero the other person played, and the in-game name was considered irrelevant. After it was mentioned, Liao Su glanced at Zhong Kui’s name. However, the name caught him off guard, and his entire body froze.

— Every, Everyone’s Goodness?

Isn’t that You Liangxing!?

Liao Su’s eyes swept down, and sure enough, he saw Liang Chuhan’s in-game name【Monthly Refreshing Breeze】on the fifth floor.

And at this moment, with an tone full of jest, KK chose to play the jungling hero Naoko Lulu, and the entire room was a shower of gifts and comments.

【Report this perverted game anchor!】

【Ah, shameless, your bird deserves a punch!】

【You might have the ability to show off your bird, but do you have the ability to play Zhong Kui!】

Liao Su watched the live broadcast with an extremely complicated mood, and lost his crouching position.

In game, the five people in KK’s team had picked their heroes and it entered the hero loading screen. When [Welcome to King’s Glory] sounded, KK’s Naoko Lulu landed on the ground and she ran two laps around the fountain.
