End of July.
This is the last summer vacation before senior year of high school, and there is less than a week left.
The sound of cicadas was blocked outside the air-conditioned room with the windows and doors tightly closed. Inside the room, a young man sat in front of the computer with a thin blanket wrapped around him, his eyes fixed on the screen.
The battle in the game was in full swing, when suddenly all the buttons stopped responding. Shen Yanming almost pressed the left and right mouse buttons to pieces, but the character on the screen remained motionless.
Then a dialog box pops up - you have lost connection to the server.
Shen Yanming: “…”
After finally reconnecting to the Internet, the character on the game interface had died tragically.
The death was extremely tragic. The originally handsome little white-haired werewolf was now lying on his back in the middle of the road with his arms and legs spread out.
Shen Yanming typed a line of words in the team channel.
[I'm messing around again]: Merciful nanny, I just got offline. Please be kind and give me a resurrection.
The wet nurse was indifferent and even ruthlessly stepped over Shen Yanming's body without stopping.
[I'm messing around again]:…
Shen Yanming did not give up his belief in life and continued typing.
[I'm messing around again]: Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
The nurse and the mage behind the church cooperated with each other and killed one enemy head together, then they split into two groups.
Still no one paid attention to Shen Yanming's pleas.
[I'm messing around again]: Doctors are kind-hearted, you can't do this.
Shen Yanming broadcast this game live, and the comments were filled with laughter as well as some sarcasm.
-Hahahaha, Brother Luanzi is so miserable
-Why don't you pull people in, don't you know what's going on? You've died so many times in this game. If I were a nurse, I wouldn't pull people in. I'd even sing you a Great Compassion Mantra so that you can lie down and look at the beautiful starry sky of this continent [/rolling eyes]
-Can anyone guess how many times Luanzige will be offline next
-It's a mess, you might as well just hang up, this team is almost the same with or without you anyway
-What are you talking about? Brother Luanzi is definitely the core of the team. Without him, how can the opponent win
-Brother Luanzi’s gaming skills are funny, but he is really bad at it. I love watching his live streams, but if I were to play against him, I would probably just kick my legs…
…
Shen Yanming, whose game ID is [I'm messing around again] and nicknamed Brother Chaos, glanced at the comments and turned on the microphone: "What are you talking about? Who said I'm a bad player? I was really stuck just now. I don't know what's wrong with the network recently."
The comments were filled with boos.
"So what if I'm really bad? I'm bad at my level, and I'm bad at my style," Shen Yanming said confidently, "... Without further ado, I'll teach you how to subdue a ruthless and heartless nurse."
Shen Yanming sent a private message to the nanny.
[I'm messing around again]: Are you a fan of Kong
In fact, Shen Yanming asked a nonsense question. Eight out of ten nurses who play the game "Return to the Throne" are fans of Kong, not to mention that the nurse's ID contains Kong, and the skin she uses is also the championship skin made by the game operator for the TMM team where Kong is last year.
The nanny ignored him.
If the barrage could materialize, everyone's ridicule of Shen Yanming would pile up into a mountain.
Shen Yanming was not in a hurry. He paused for a moment, and after a brief thought, he typed another line.
[I'm messing around again]: I won a spot in the friendly match with TMM next week.
TMM, the full name of which is the Miracle Maker, is a strong team that has won the world championship for two consecutive years, but they have almost never organized an open friendly match. This time, the sponsor forced them to open the business, so they organized an event.
The players who are drawn can take a free one-day trip to TMM’s base and enjoy the joy of being beaten by the king’s team.
Such opportunities are rare. As soon as the lottery microblog was released, enthusiastic players took turns to forward it and produced an astonishing number of retweets.
After Shen Yanming sent out that line of words, the cold nanny finally had some reaction.
Nanny: …
Nanny: Really?
Not only the nanny, the barrage also exploded.
-Brother Luanzi won? ? ? Awesome
-Speechless, I drew with several alts at the same time, but unfortunately I was unlucky and had to run away with the others.
- I'm so angry, so angry, so angry
-So what does he mean by this? Show off
-… If I were the nanny, I would be even more angry and would not want to pull him up.
-Maybe Brother Luanzi is planning to ask for an autograph from God Kong to give to this nanny
-Hahahaha, I really want to see if Luanzige dares to be so unrestrained in front of Tian Mimi[/狗头]
…
The brothers who were watching the live broadcast had not figured out why Shen Yanming suddenly mentioned that he had drawn a spot. They had all kinds of guesses, but no one guessed Shen Yanming's true intention.
Until this line of words appeared in the chat box again.
[I'm messing around again]: I'll give you the spot, give you a resurrection, ball ball qaq
Everyone was collectively dumbfounded.
Give up the opportunity to play against tmm just to let the nurse in the ordinary match give you a resurrection
This anchor is messing around again.
After a brief pause in the comments in the live broadcast room, someone suddenly realized and said: You don’t really believe that he will give up the quota, right? He is probably just talking nonsense to coax the nanny to pull him up...
Others seconded the motion.
On the screen, Shen Yanming's side seemed doomed to fail. Although the remaining three teammates tried to reverse the situation, the gap between the two sides was too great, and they could only watch their opponents carrying the crown and walking towards the throne step by step.
The nanny was also a bit passive in the game, standing behind the fence without moving. However, whether it was because the shock was too great or she felt speechless, she still ignored Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming made a "tsk" sound and typed quickly on the keyboard.
[I'm messing around again]: Hurry, hurry, it will be too late if you don't pull me up.
[I'm messing around again]: I'm serious, I'm in my third year of high school, and I'm going back to school next week. My mom asked me to choose between Peking University and Tsinghua University, so I have to study hard. Even if I'm chosen, I can't go.
Nanny & Audience:…
Shen Yanming wasn't talking nonsense.
At least it is true that I am preparing to enter the third year of high school in the new semester.
But the rest is just nonsense. Shen Yanming had poor grades since he was young. All the kids in his primary school grade got two 100s, but he got two 80s. His parents were delighted and praised him for being smart. When he was in the first year of high school, the full score changed from 100 to 150, but he still got 80. His parents were still very happy, saying that it was not easy to keep the same score for ten years. He got 80 for ten years, which showed that his grades were stable and reassuring.
Later, Shen Yanming skipped classes so many times that he couldn't even get 80 points in the exam. When his math score dropped to 50 points for the first time in his previous life, his father finally knocked on his door and wanted to have a talk with him.
Instead of urging him to study hard, she asked, "You don't like studying, but you like playing games so much, why don't you become a professional player?"
—That was a lifetime ago.
Yes, in the previous life.
Shen Yanming was reborn.
He still remembered the day he signed the termination agreement given to him by the team manager. Bad things happened one after another. He went out to relax late at night, but was confronted by a speeding car out of control.
I thought my life was over, but I didn't know there would be another chance to open my eyes again.
And... When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back to three years ago.
After the initial shock, he has slowly accepted the fact that he was reborn.
The time point when Shen Yanming was reborn was just before he became a professional e-sports player in his previous life. His fate at that time was no different from that after his rebirth. He was also like now, and he was drawn to play a friendly match with TMM.
The difference is that in his previous life, he opened Weibo countless times a day after winning the prize, just to check the winning notification from time to time, and he always wanted to arrive at the stadium immediately... Even though school was about to start, he still secretly flew to Haicheng, a thousand kilometers away.
Although it was just a friendly match, he performed brilliantly in that game and has since stepped half a foot into the world of professional players.
But he didn't want to go this time.
…
While Shen Yanming was distracted, the nanny who had been silent until now finally clicked on the revival button for him and sent him a helpless expression.
The nurse even taught Shen Yanming earnestly: It's not a big deal to pull you up, but you really need to be careful. If you don't know how to use this character, practice a few more times in the human-computer mode. If you were matched with some other grumpy guy, you would have been scolded to death by now.
This nurse was very gentle, but Shen Yanming didn't have time to reply to her. He thanked her in his heart and quickly sprinted towards the route of the enemy carrying the crown.
The rules of "Return to the Throne" are actually very simple. Two teams of players enter the map in a 4v4 format. Whoever finds the buried crown first and escorts it back to the throne wins. In this process, the two teams of players must adopt various strategies or have some direct conflicts in order to snatch the crown.
Seeing that the enemy was about to place the crown on the throne, the other teammates just put up a bit of resistance.
Unexpectedly, a little white wolf suddenly jumped out in front of the throne.
The little white wolf jumped to the side of the enemy tank, looking flustered. After pausing for a while, he threw out a big move in a very puzzling way.
White Wolf's ultimate move is called Dart of Samsara. After using the ultimate move, White Wolf will throw the boomerang in his hand, forming an arc-shaped trajectory, and the boomerang will cause damage to enemy units that pass through the trajectory. The higher the fighting spirit accumulated by White Wolf, the higher the damage caused by the ultimate move.
The fighting spirit is accumulated by killing enemies.
Shen Yanming didn't get a single kill in this round. It was obvious that his ultimate skill could do almost no damage.
Even if it can deal damage, it is difficult for ordinary players to maximize the benefits of this skill, because the trajectory of the boomerang is fixed, while the enemy players can move flexibly. It is also common to miss the target when playing White Wolf.
The comments started to laugh at him again, and everyone thought that he had pressed the wrong skill in a panic.
Shen Yanming stared at the screen. Little White Wolf's boomerang pierced through three enemy characters accurately. The position where he stopped to throw the dart just now was not chosen randomly, but after predicting the enemy players' movements, he determined that throwing the dart here would hit the most enemies.
He had already anticipated which players on the other side would be hit by him, but he said to Mai: "Hey, good luck."
The audience didn't care, saying: What's the point of having good luck? Since your ultimate move can't kill anyone, there's no point in using it.
That's true. If Shen Yanming had taken more than ten heads, he would still have a chance, but now...
But the audience soon noticed that the players who were hit by the boomerang were frozen.
The crown fell from the enemy tank, and Shen Yanming ran to pick it up leisurely. The only mage on the opposite side who was not controlled tried to come over and snatch the crown from Shen Yanming. At this time, his teammates finally reacted and quickly dragged the mage while the other enemies were still unable to move.
The white-haired little werewolf held the crown and walked towards the gray throne a few steps away. He placed the crown back on the long-dusty throne, and instantly a dazzling light burst out from the throne.
The word "Victory" appeared in the center of the screen.
The audience was still in a confused state, and the barrage was full of question marks.
Shen Yanming fell back, leaned back in his chair, and explained, "I picked up a bottle of anesthetic when I started."
Anesthetics, as the name suggests, are drugs that can make a character unable to move.
Can be used on a single player or applied to a weapon.
If used alone, it can only stun one person, but if applied to a weapon, the upper limit of the number of players that can be controlled becomes higher. Just like this one, the little white wolf's dart causes damage to three players, and these three players can be controlled at the same time.
The problem is that the anesthetic effect only lasts for five seconds, starting from the time you click to use it, and it takes time to apply it on the weapon. People with clumsy hands may have lost their effect by the time they finish applying it.
Therefore, except for professional players, few people would choose the latter usage when picking up this medicine.
"I'll just say that I can turn the tide," Shen Yanming saw that everyone in the comments was saying that he was lucky, so he didn't refute it. He even said, "Luck is also a kind of strength. Is there a problem with that? I'm not going to chat with you guys. I'm going to add Miss Nanny as my friend. 886."
The "Return to the Throne" division of tmm e-sports club.
It was already break time, and the lights in the training room were still on, but no one was training against the clock.
The two people who stayed in the training room were now squatting in the live broadcast room of [I'm messing around again].
At first, only He Changkong was watching the live broadcast. Meng Yan, who was about to pack up and leave, saw it and found it curious, so he sat down and watched for a while.
Professional players like them rarely watch live broadcasts of amateur anchors... let alone this guy called Brother Luanzi, who seems to be even more amateur than an amateur.
But after watching for a while, Meng Yan realized that he had underestimated the anchor. I messed up the last wave of operations again. Maybe ordinary players think it's good luck, but Meng Yan has been through many battles and can see at a glance that this set of skills is not just a matter of luck. He smiled and said, "This kid is quite interesting."
He Changkong didn't respond to Meng Yan's words, but just stared at the screen for a long time before saying: "He said he would give his place in the Friends Tournament to someone else... Why would he give his place to someone else?"
