Qiao Jing Jing felt that the previous lessons were something like martial arts class, and now, he was starting to teach her military strategy and tactics, like how to lead the soldiers along the lane, how to trick and trap others, how to ambush...
She could practically head straight into battle and slay enemy soldiers.
But Honor of Kings, after all, has only been developed for a year and a bit. Thus there actually are not many commonly used strategies and sequences. Qiao Jing Jing was not stupid. After watching for two days the competition videos carefully chosen by Yu Tu, she understood most of them.
Of course, understanding is just understanding; the situation in a real battle is ever changing. What it boiled down to was that she still needed to practice more.
5v5 is much more intense than 3v3. After a few days, whenever Qiao Jing Jing closed her eyes at night, she would see the explosion of the base's crystal.
As a result, when there was an event for her to attend, Qiao Jing Jing was glad. She actually felt like getting a break.
Early in the morning on November 10th, Qiao Jing Jing happily called Yu Tu. "Yu Tu, you haven't gone out yet. I'm going to Hangzhou today to attend the double 11th evening party at Mr. Ma's home. I want to request a day off. I forgot to tell you yesterday."
In fact, Yu Tu had already arrived at the subway station. He needed almost an hour to get to Qiao Jing Jing's place.
It was very noisy on her end, like she was very busy. When Yu Tu said "okay," Qiao Jing Jing said, "Then I'll hang up. If you are interested, you can watch, too. I'll be singing today."
Yu Tu laughed and said another "okay."
He suddenly didn't have to go out, so it seemed he had a whole day with nothing to do. After returning home, he went to the official website of Honor of Kings on the computer to read some information. Then Qiao Jing Jing sent a WeChat message at around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Jing Jing:
Are you online?
Yu Tu:
Online.
Jing Jing:
I've nothing to do now. Let's play a game.
She quickly posted a link in QQ and Yu Tu clicked to go in. The two of them were matched with three random players for a casual match and then they entered the 5v5 Antaris Battlefield map.
This time Yu Tu picked Marco Polo and Qiao Jing Jing picked Bull Demon. After playing for a while, Qiao Jing Jing couldn't help complaining, "I think Bull Demon is harder to play than Zhang Fei because I don't know how to position myself for abilities that require relatively large-scale movements and positioning."
Yu Tu:
"Just play how you want."
Qiao Jing Jing:
"You'll be able to win still?"
Yu Tu:
"No, I'm going to record it."
Qiao Jing Jing:
"… and then give me a lesson later?"
Yu Tu:
"Yeah."
At this time, the jungler, Li Bai suddenly spoke up.
The Amazing Little Insect:
"Marco, I think your girlfriend is not as good as my girlfriend."
Yu Tu was surprised and was about to say that the Bull Demon is not his girlfriend. But he also felt that saying this to a stranger would be a bit weird. He hesitated for only a moment and then he heard Qiao Jing Jing say: "You are also not as good as my boyfriend."
Yu Tu:
…..
In fact, Yu Tu was not surprised because Qiao Jing Jing has always had her own style when playing games. It is inevitable that there will be bashers in some matches. Every time she was scolded, she would scold right back, but the way she scolded back was really very… hard to explain in a few words. For example, if people scolded her saying she was rubbish, she would scold back with "You're the one who's rubbish." If people scolded her for being stupid, she would scold back, "You are the stupid one."
Thus when people said, "You are not as good as my girlfriend," her reply of, "You are also not as good as my boyfriend" was reasonable.
The Amazing Little Insect immediately retorted, "Whatever. It's because he is playing with the marksman and I'm not quite familiar playing with Li Bai. If you don't believe, I will invite both of you to play again later and show you a Marco with God level skill."
His girlfriend did not speak, but typed a sentence.
Birdie and Buggie:
Hubby add oil!
At this time, a random player who had not really moved all this while suddenly flooded the chat box with messages.
Wearing Nothing is Nice and Cool:
Don't say anymore. I'm going to hang up my game.
Wearing Nothing is Nice and Cool:
Today is double eleven Singles' Day. But it turns out lovers are everywhere on the street. I came to hide at home and play games and yet I am still matched with two pairs of lovers.
Wearing Nothing is Nice and Cool:
I am moody. I'm going to hang up.
Then he squatted at the spring water and remained motionless.
Qiao Jing Jing:
"…"
She quickly typed.
Hand Can Pick Cotton:
Wait, you got it wrong. Singles' Day is tomorrow!
Wearing Nothing is Nice and Cool:
Really?
Qiao Jing Jing suspected he had gone to check the calendar.
After a while
Wearing Nothing is Nice and Cool:
Okay, then I will play again for a while.
This match was finally won after many twists and turns. Yu Tu's Marco Polo took the MVP without a hitch.
As soon as she exited the match, Qiao Jing Jing received an invitation from The Amazing Little Insect. She grew excited and, accepting the invitation, entered the room.
The Amazing Little Insect:
Your boyfriend rejected my invitation. Is he scared to come?
Hand Can Pick Cotton:
Wait.
Qiao Jing Jing sent the dialogue screenshot to Yu Tu on WeChat.
Yu Tu:
Pull me into the room.
After Yu Tu entered the room, The Amazing Little Insect immediately clicked to start the match. After entering the heroes selection screen, The Amazing Little Insect and Yu Tu simultaneously made their selection in just one second.
The Amazing Little Insect, without any doubt, selected the marksman Marco Polo. Yu Tu…
Actually selected Li Bai!
This was practically like a one-on-one fighting match of some sort. Qiao Jing Jing immediately became excited. Now that she thought about it, she had never seen Yu Tu play with Li Bai in 5v5.
The Amazing Little Insect:
Wa, you are deliberately trying to provoke things.
Jade Rabbit Pounds Medicine:
I rarely play with him, just trying.
Birdie and Buggie:
Hubby add oil
Qiao Jing Jing immediately followed: Boyfriend add oil
Pitiful random player:
... They're all couples?
Qiao Jing Jing feared that he would hang up, too, so she comforted him: Be strong, don't hang up.
The random player humorously said: No, I have a cat.
This game was very fast-paced. Marco was very suave when he played, but Yu Tu was even more suave. A confident and elegant immortal swordsman in white, who came without a shadow and left without a trace, who would be in front of you at first glance, but all of a sudden would be behind you, who moved as swiftly as a startled swan goose and as graceful as a swimming dragon. In the instant between when he would suddenly come and then suddenly disappear again, he would do an instant kill the opponent's squishy hero many times.
The opponent was immediately and totally slaughtered early in the match. Only ten minutes in and then they had already surrendered.
The Amazing Little Insect:
… That hurt my self-esteem ah.
Birdie and Buggie:
Hubby, you're the best!
In the end, Qiao Jing Jing still picked on them a bit.
Hand Can Pick Cotton:
You need to be strong. Add oil, oh
After exiting the game, Qiao Jing Jing couldn't help but replaying in her mind how the elegant Li Bai played. A while passed before she excitedly opened WeChat to say something. But she saw a message from Yu Tu.
Yu Tu:
Why are you so naughty?
Qiao Jing Jing's heart leapt, and she momentarily forgot what she was about to say. Then she saw a message from WeChat— "The other party has recalled a message."
