"Attack him, attack him!"
"No, we can't beat him, run, run!"
"You have Flash, don't be a coward!"
"Huh? Why did you use Flash directly?"
"I was just reminding you that you have Flash, not telling you to flash right on top of him…"
"Forget it, forget it. Use it early, cooldown early. You scared him, so this trade isn't a loss!"
"Their Jungler is coming, quick, Flash! Er… forgot you don't have Flash anymore…"
"…"
Under the step-by-step direction of Lin Fan and Zhou Yan, and with Longyue's "extraordinary skills," the game quickly started with a magnificent battle record of 0-8.
Even though the record wasn't good, it didn't shake her heroic and unwavering spirit in the slightest. Every time she returned to the base and headed out again, she would charge forward and confront the opponent directly!
She was the majestic Empress of the Immortal Realm; how could she retreat just because of a few minor deaths!
Just then, the teammate in the mid lane finally couldn't take it anymore and started typing.
"Minotaur, what are you doing?!"
"Hmm? Is he scolding me?"
Longyue saw the message in the chat box, her brows furrowed, and she turned to Lin Fan in confusion.
Lin Fan shook his head firmly and comforted her:
"He's scolding the Minotaur, it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to pay attention to him."
"Oh…"
Longyue replied and continued to immerse herself in the game quietly. But soon, looking at her Minotaur hero on the interface, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
She was the one playing the Minotaur right now. So if that person was scolding the Minotaur, weren't they scolding her…?
"Stupid ox!"
The teammate in the mid lane relentlessly typed insults in the public chat. This time, Longyue also reacted.
"He dares to insult this Empress?!"
Longyue's anger was mixed with disbelief.
She, the majestic Empress of the Supreme Holy Palace, was respected and worshiped by many wherever she went. Even when facing all kinds of demons and evil creatures, she had never experienced this kind of verbal abuse!
If this had happened in the Immortal Demon Continent, she wouldn't even need to act herself. The crime of insulting the Empress would be enough to execute his entire family for nine generations!
"This is too much! We can't let him get away with it, talk back to him!"
"Right! Sister-in-law, burn him to death!"
Lin Fan and Zhou Yan, who were at her side, could also no longer watch. Their side was indeed playing a bit poorly and feeding a lot, so being lectured once or twice was still acceptable, but the other party was being extremely vicious.
How could they tolerate this!
"hundan…"
Longyue slowly typed the pinyin out one by one in the public chat to reply. Her typing speed was so slow that Lin Fan and Zhou Yan, watching from the side, almost died of anxiety.
She hadn't even finished one sentence, and that person had probably cursed her more than ten times.
With this kind of typing speed, how could she defend her family's honor in Zu'an?*
[N: Zu'an is a region in the game League of Legends, famous in the Chinese gaming community for its players' extremely toxic and creative insults (flaming).]
Her slow typing speed was understandable; after all, she had just started practicing pinyin, so it was natural to be slow. But looking at the words she typed, the two couldn't help but be stunned.
"Bastard! You insolent fool! How dare you speak rudely to this Empress!"
Lin Fan: "…"
Zhou Yan: "…"
Lin Fan and Zhou Yan stared at Longyue with an "are you kidding me?" expression.
He told her to talk back fiercely, and this was what she came up with…?
It was completely ineffective. Rather than calling it scolding, it was more like she was pouting…
"Lin Fan, sister-in-law's scolding is a bit too soft…"
"That's just how sister-in-law is. She doesn't know how to curse…"
Lin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.
Until today, the worst he had ever heard Longyue scold him was the string of "pervert, shameless, lewd" from before.
With her upbringing as the Empress of the Immortal Realm, she simply wasn't permitted to utter any other, viler words…
In the game, the teammate in the mid lane saw the words Longyue sent and couldn't help but send another series of mocks.
"Bro, are you trying to scold me? I thought you were pouting at me, hahaha."
"With that typing speed and those flaming skills, you dare to compete? Does your mother not want you anymore?"
"Wait until you learn how to type before you come against me, kid!"
Longyue: "…!"
Seeing the series of mocks appearing in the public chat, while she hadn't even finished a single sentence, Longyue trembled with rage. Her finger gripped the screen so hard she almost crushed it.
When had she ever experienced such great verbal abuse and felt so wronged? Unfortunately, she still hadn't fully mastered this world's pinyin input method, and her attempt to fight back seemed so helpless…
Longyue turned her head, a layer of mist covering her eyes. She bit her red lip, unwilling to give up, and looked at Lin Fan with a pitiful expression.
"Are you very angry? Want to get back at him?" Lin Fan asked.
"Mhm!"
Longyue nodded seriously, her face full of expectation.
"Alright, let me take over."
Lin Fan gave a helpless smile, grabbed the phone, and his hands began to 'play music' on the chat screen as if he were playing a piano.
"***** (deleted), I didn't want to deal with you, and you actually took that as a compliment, huh!"
"What are you yelling about in a casual match for fun? Not allowed to practice heroes, is it?"
"** (deleted), so you're the only one who can type? Huh? Keep on yapping then?"
"…"
In the blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive positions in the public chat had reversed. Within a few seconds, Lin Fan had typed over a dozen messages in response, completely drowning out the person's messages.
Zhou Yan stood by the side with his arms crossed, nodding with great satisfaction.
Now, this is how it should be!
This is what you call a match. What sister-in-law did earlier was just pouting!
Longyue clung to Lin Fan's side, stretching her neck to look at the public game chat. Her eyes, looking at Lin Fan, couldn't help but show a trace of admiration.
The Demon Sovereign types so fast, it's so impressive…
And now, he was specifically helping her vent her anger…
Soon, following the intense exchange of words between Lin Fan and the opponent, both sides gradually shifted the battlefield from typing mocks to opening voice chat to flame, staging an 8 AM esports classroom lecture.
When Lin Fan got tired of cursing, Zhou Yan, who was behind him, would take over seamlessly. The great battle to defend the family tree only ended after they had cursed the other party's voice hoarse…
"Hahaha, so satisfying. It's been a long time since I've competed against someone in a game. It seems my skills haven't declined over the years~"
Zhou Yan had a relieved look on his face as he, still wanting more, returned the phone to Longyue.
Longyue took the phone, a satisfied smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of her lips.
In the past, in the Immortal Demon Continent, whenever someone dared to offend her or speak rudely to her, she always handled everything herself directly. This was the first time she had let someone else vent her anger for her, and she felt inexplicably happy.
After that, Longyue started a few more matchmaking practice games. Although she was still far from reaching the King level standard, with every match, her game operation and understanding became more and more skilled. From the initial 0-8, to later being able to kill the opponent alone, her progress, visible to the eye, was moving at an incredible speed.
After just a few matches, she already felt the transformation from a total novice to a mid-tier player.
Seeing her grow so fast, Zhou Yan couldn't help but be amazed.
"Lin Fan, was sister-in-law really not pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger before? This learning speed is too fast. Is it possible sister-in-law actually has a talent for gaming?"
"Maybe."
Lin Fan smiled and didn't explain too much. He also didn't feel too surprised by Longyue's progress.
One must know, she was once the Empress of the Immortal Realm. Her reaction speed and hand speed were incredibly fast. What she lacked compared to others was simply an understanding of the game and its heroes.
He believed that as long as she became more familiar with the game and hero mechanics, it wouldn't take long for her to dominate the game…!
