What does it mean to be sly and subtle? Those are all just good sisters!
"Wow, Boss, I ran into a girl while playing King of Glory today. She was the definition of ‘tea-like’—calling me ‘big brother’ the whole time, really knew how to play her cards."
Late at night, Li Jie wandered over to the Crouching Tiger district for some brined goose, threw in a portion of ‘Northeastern Cold Noodles’ for good measure, and shared his experience with the ‘Ten-Year Veteran Fans’ in the ‘Anti-fan Group’ as he ate in the restaurant.
"Mind your words, Crab!"
"Exactly! Watch the attitude! What do you mean by ‘tea-like’?"
"Where are there any ‘green teas’ these days? They’re all thoughtful, considerate, and caring..."
"A good little sister!"
This bunch of animals replied in unison, the words ‘good little sister’ dominating the screen.
Li Jie curled his lip and mocked, "You simps are beyond saving."
"Shut up! You, the prodigy with fame, savings, a decent build, and the audacity to make a comeback! I wish I could eat your flesh and gnaw your bones alive..."
"Right! We agreed to rot together, but look at you, Crab, you actually turned the tide. My heart aches, I can’t sleep at night. Even when I do, my pillow’s always wet when I wake."
"Told you not to shoot on the pillow..."
"Screw you!"
After the usual round of banter, ‘Boss’ chimed in, "These days, it’s the ‘tea-like’ girls who are the best sisters. Crab, do you have unique tastes? Prefer the new-age independent women?"
Li Jie was stumped by Boss’s comment, seriously pondering for a moment—maybe the ‘green tea girl’ wasn’t so bad?
Bah!
Nonsense!
He couldn’t let this bunch of animals lead him astray.
Better to bail before his mind got polluted further, lest he really start thinking ‘green tea’ was a good thing.
He wasn’t stupid. What’s the purpose of being ‘tea-like’?
Isn’t it all for his savings?
Ever since crossing over, he’d been a ‘born orphan holy body,’ scraping together just enough ‘funeral money’ by luck and copying, spending a bit here and there, finally managing to save two or three million. Wasn’t easy!
He couldn’t let someone sweet-talk him out of it.
Not even one smooth talker, let alone two!
No way!
After finishing the brined goose, he ordered a goose neck. The owner from the northeast was generous, handing Li Jie two free sodas to wash it all down.
Full and satisfied, Li Jie lounged in his secondhand car with the AC blasting, digesting his meal. He launched another round of ‘League of Kings,’ and was immediately invited by ‘Shake Shake Shake’ into a room.
Whoa, this ‘tea-like’ girl actually opened a room and waited for him?
How thoughtful!
"Big brother, did you have a good dinner?"
What does that mean? Timing it just right, waiting for him?
Li Jie immediately suspected this ID ‘Shake Shake Shake’ was some burly guy using a voice changer, probably just trying to scam him out of money.
But it didn’t matter—he just wouldn’t give any money.
Even if it was a burly dude, the voice changer made it sound soft and adorable.
As long as it wasn’t rough and aggressive, anything was negotiable.
"Yeah, just finished dinner, was planning to check out the camp and watch some matches."
"Big brother, want to duo queue? I can be your Diao Chan."
Wow, ‘she’ even called him ‘big brother.’
Click!
Game countdown began...
Emotional value maxed out—why not indulge a bit?
Li Jie felt he owed a response to such heartfelt enthusiasm!
Too bad ‘Lü Bu’ was snatched by the other side.
Damn...
Where did my Diao Chan go?!
"Big brother, do you play ‘Sun Ce’?"
"My sailing skills are average, not too steady."
"Then I’ll pick ‘Da Qiao,’ big brother. If you crash into a wall, I’ll ult and teleport you over..."
Wow, little sister, you may be ‘tea-like,’ but I like it~~
Green Bean ‘Sun Ce’... enters the fray!
"Are you two nuts?!"
"Damn, matched with another couple. This round’s doomed, next one."
"Six-minute surrender."
Li Jie felt a bit awkward. He usually hated running into couples when solo queuing—ranking up was hard enough, why make it worse for each other?
"Don’t worry, everyone, we’ll play well. ‘Sun Ce’ supports faster than ‘Lü Bu,’ at two and a half minutes bot lane can outnumber them..."
‘Shake Shake Shake’ actually had a knack for calming the team.
The three players who weren’t planning to try suddenly felt the battle was worth fighting, since the girl didn’t sound like a chaste martyr.
Although Green Bean ‘Sun Ce’ made people uneasy, Li Jie’s promise to check the stats at the end gave them confidence.
Four minutes later...
"Damn @#¥& ‘Sun Ce,’ you @#¥ led me straight into the enemy crowd, why not crash your @#¥& into the @#¥?! I @#¥..."
"...And you @#% ‘Da Qiao,’ what, your phone overheats if you drop a circle? I’m full health and you put a circle at my feet, why not put a hula hoop around your parents?! I finally made it to King Ten Stars, you ¥%@..."
Soon after, the system popped up a notification.
Not the ‘Superstar System’ prompt, just the in-game one.
Two players were muted by the system.
At six minutes, they pressed surrender.
But Li Jie auto-refused, so the surrender failed, leaving two more teens wanting to smash their phones.
At eight minutes, their high ground was breached. Normally, this round would be a goner.
But as Li Jie got into the groove, his enhanced physique showed its advantage—his finger control was much more precise, the combos unchanged but incredibly smooth, especially the ‘stability’ when controlling units, far better than before.
He kept splitting lane until ten minutes, ‘Da Qiao’ preemptively ambushed the dragon pit’s rear bush, then ulted to bring allies for a numbers advantage.
A small team fight, and they caught the enemy off guard.
Another ninety seconds of wave management, and the enemy couldn’t handle ‘Sun Ce’ and ‘Da Qiao’ anymore—three tier-two towers down and one high ground on the side lane. Two enemies were still reviving, another high ground team fight with numbers advantage, before the revived opponents could even leave the fountain, they surrendered...
"Damn?! We actually won?!"
Li Jie felt ecstatic—‘comeback victory’ sometimes felt even better than ‘five consecutive kills.’
He’d originally pulled in the two ‘colorful language’ players for a scolding and some banter, but unexpectedly, they apologized in chat...
Damn?!
Even more satisfying!
He didn’t start another match. Li Jie opened voice chat with ‘Shake Shake Shake’ to complain about the trash talk and their epic turnaround.
After ten minutes of chatting, ‘Shake Shake Shake’ suddenly said, "Big brother, your skills are so good—why not start a livestream? That way I can find you more easily, and we can duo queue together."
"I don’t have the resources, can’t be a streamer."
"Big brother, actually, I want to be a streamer, but I’m too scared to do it alone. If you could guide me, that would be great..."
Hard—no, deal!
No problem, big brother will register a streaming account right now!
