Chapter 3: Team 7 of the Waves
Her friends were left speechless, and of course, she did not change her name for the sake of singing. She never took those who made such jokes seriously. At this moment, she didn't even glance at Zhang Chenghao, but instead looked at the new student whom Zhou Mo had been trying to recruit for a long time and said: "Even the Changping Defensive Battle can be quite interesting if played seriously. Would you like to give it a try?"
Gao Ge was also a member of the Honor of Kings club when she first entered school. As a gaming club predominantly composed of boys, girls are always highly sought after, especially a beautiful girl like Gao Ge. The others had no expectations of her in the game. However, no one anticipated that before they could have any demands of Gao Ge, it was she who began to look down on them first
But I have already joined the Honor of Kings community The student directly interrupted Zhou Mo
Just that boy!" He pointed with his hand.
There are only two people in their team, why would you want to join them? Are you planning to play the Changping offensive and defensive battle?" After Zhang Chenghao finished speaking, several students who had come with him burst into laughter. The Changping offensive and defensive battle, even for seasoned players of Honor of Kings, might seem somewhat unfamiliar; it is a three-on-three mode in the game. Typically, the main content for players during gameplay consists of ranked matches and matchmaking, which are both five-on-five on the King’s Canyon map, representing the highest level of competition in the KPL as well. Therefore, the Changping offensive and defensive battle can be regarded as a relatively informal mode of play. Zhang Chenghao's words were filled with mockery, yet Zhou Mo felt helpless, as Zhang Chenghao was speaking the truth; their team, Wang 7, currently only has 2 members.
"Did I not just introduce you to it? If you want to join a team, we have many in our club. Based on your preferred position and heroes, we will recommend the most suitable team for you to join," said Zhang Chenghao.
At that moment, a girl's voice suddenly interjected. Everyone turned to look and saw a beautiful girl striding over confidently. Many onlookers were taken aback by her appearance. However, Zhang Chenghao and his companions showed no interest in admiring the beauty; instead, they wore expressions of displeasure. Nevertheless, they quickly managed to force a smile and said, "I thought it was someone else, turns out it's you, Gao Ge!"
The character "ge" was bitten by him in a melodious and lingering manner, causing those around who did not know the girl to display expressions of surprise, especially the new student, who stared wide-eyed at the girl in confusion
"Just find anyone?" Zhang Chenghao was taken aback, and the students around who understood the game were also in an uproar. Although Honor of Kings is popular, the world is so vast that the majority of people do not engage with or play this game, let alone the players whose skills range from Bronze to King and even to professional levels, which are highly uneven. Just find someone? The probability of finding a hindrance is far greater than that of finding a good helper. Those who understand the game know that this is basically not much different from two against three.
After coming to this understanding, Zhou Mo no longer hesitated and firmly stood by Gao Ge's side. Just as he had been an unwavering member of Lang 7 for the past two years.
Therefore, it is best to find someone who is not capable of it
Zhou Mo sat alone behind a table, watching the bustling activities of various clubs, feeling a twinge of envy. His table lacked any eye-catching signage, and he was the only one there; most passing students were drawn to the grandiose clubs, rarely noticing his table. He was reluctant to miss any opportunity, and whenever someone’s gaze drifted in his direction, he would immediately put on an eager smile, stand up, and warmly greet them: "Classmate, would you like to learn about the Lang 7 team?"
"What are you incapable of?" Zhang Chenghao retorted defiantly, but immediately felt a twinge of regret as soon as the words left his mouth. However, the person opposite him, Gao Ge, quickly seized the opportunity to respond: "Are you daring enough to have a round?"
Very well, the question has returned to the previous one, the Battle of Changping, do you know about it? Gao Ge finally turned to look at Zhang Chenghao
Zhang Chenghao looked around, wishing he could choose a tree to sing loudly. Although he had called over the two strongest members of his team, he still felt somewhat apprehensive. He had a psychological shadow when it came to Gao Ge. Both of them were in their third year; when they first entered school, he was still a novice in the game, and after joining the club, he faced Gao Ge as an opponent and was relentlessly challenged; as teammates, he was subjected to harsh criticism. His bronze heart was deeply wounded. Now, he was also a skilled player, but regarding Gao Ge, despite harboring resentment and refusing to admit it verbally, he still had to acknowledge that Gao Ge's strength was solid. Additionally, with the equally strong Zhou Mo and a capable player, in a three-on-three match, Zhang Chenghao truly did not have complete confidence.
"Childish." The girl looked down upon this. Her surname is Gao and her given name is Ge, which often leads people to mistakenly refer to her as "Ge" due to the phonetic similarity. She has experienced this kind of joke countless times throughout her life. Some friends have advised her to change her name, but she dismisses the idea, saying: "There is nothing wrong with my name; it is those who make jokes about my name who are impolite and boring. Why should I change it?"
"Honor of Kings? Isn't the Honor of Kings club over there?" The student looked to the right in confusion and, confirming his memory, saw that the Honor of Kings club was indeed over there, flanked by life-sized standees of the two game characters, Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, on either side.
Hey... this time it is not someone else, but Gao Ge's companion Zhou Mo, who, coming back to her senses, couldn't help but call out to her, looking utterly confused. Gao Ge looked at Zhou Mo, her eyes filled with stubbornness and a hint of helplessness, yet her tone was unusually relaxed: "Hitting three is much easier than hitting five, right?"
Zhou Mo was momentarily taken aback, but from this sentence, she understood Gao Ge's intentions
What? The student, who was called by Zhou Mo after inadvertently glancing over, looked at him in astonishment; he didn't even catch what Zhou Mo had just said to him.
I understand, but this senior brother...
Desks are lined up neatly on both sides of the road. During this season of new students enrolling at Dongjiang University, various student organizations are eagerly setting up to recruit new members. Some have colorful banners hanging from the trees behind the desks, some display eye-catching signs, some continuously play recordings introducing their organizations through loudspeakers, and others send representatives to mingle among passersby distributing flyers.

The newcomer was clearly still immersed in the surprise of being called "Gao Ge," momentarily at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Zhang Chenghao, seeing that Gao Ge was ignoring him, felt a surge of humiliation and anger, and interjected, "Do you really take it seriously? The Battle of Changping? Who would play that? Are we supposed to train a King of Changping or something?"
He Yu arrived at the student supermarket on the west side of the playground, bought a bottle of soda, and sat on the bench at the entrance, sipping slowly. It was only the day of the school opening report, and there were already students playing football on the playground; however, the tree-lined path between the playground and the student supermarket was even more lively at this moment
At present, initiating this challenge against Zhang Chenghao is the only way out of this awkward situation. They cannot force others to accept their perspective on the game, and can only seek to impress others in different ways. For instance, through strength! Although Zhang Chenghao started playing Honor of Kings much later than they did, only beginning at Dongjiang University, he has managed to consistently reach the rank of King in solo matches over the past two years, and his team, Dynasty, has performed quite well in the campus league. If Gao Ge and Zhou Mo can indeed casually bring someone along to defeat Zhang Chenghao and his Dynasty team, it would undoubtedly be a sensational event that could also prove their strength. The new student before them might just be willing to join them in trying out for Team 7.
"That is not in conflict; we are simply a relatively stable team," Zhou Mo said
Dongjiang University places great importance on greening, with various unnamed trees planted throughout the campus, enveloping everything in lush shade. The only place where one might gaze up at the blue sky is likely the spacious playground.
Zhang Chenghao had long been planning this in his heart, but the people around him who would stop to pay attention to this lively scene were always somewhat interested in Honor of Kings. These individuals were likely to be players of the game
"Senior Zhang." The student turned his head to see the newcomer and recognized him as the third-year senior who had just assisted him at the Honor of Kings club. It seemed that he was also the publicity minister of the Honor of Kings club.
Yes, it has always been very fixed, with only two people in the team. Suddenly, another person took over Zhou Mo's words, walked up to the student, patted him on the shoulder, and said with an extremely serious expression.
Shall we play another round? Do you guys from Team 7 have three members to play another round?" Zhang Chenghao chuckled somewhat sheepishly
"You come here," Gao Ge said, as expected.
Zhang Chenghao glanced around and had an idea in his mind, then spoke: "Most of these people are familiar to me, and I am afraid you might think I would choose an undercover to trick you." As he spoke, his gaze swept outside the crowd and immediately spotted a boy sitting on a bench at the entrance of the student supermarket, drinking soda, completely indifferent to the commotion here, which he found quite agreeable.
This is simple; there are so many people here. Just find anyone to give us, and winning against you will be a matter of minutes said Gao Ge
"Yes, just find anyone, anyone can do it." Gao Ge stated emphatically once again.
That is a club; we are merely a team. Join us to play some matches, rank up, and participate in some...
What happened during the Battle of Changping? Do you know about it
"Do you choose or should I?" Zhang Chenghao asked knowingly. Gao Ge had previously stated that he could choose anyone, and she had always been a person of her word, so it was impossible for her to suddenly change her mind
Zhang Chenghao has also turned around to instruct his companion beside him: "Call Zhou Mutong and Xu Kaihuai over."
Gao Ge's passion for gaming far exceeds what others can imagine. Most people regard gaming merely as entertainment or a pastime, but Gao Ge sees it as an aspiration, a goal to strive for. She cannot tolerate her teammates' casual attitude towards the game, and these teammates cannot accept her stringent high standards. In the end, almost no one in the club was willing to play with her, so Gao Ge simply withdrew from the club and formed her own team, the "Lang 7" team. However, after two years, she ended up with only one teammate, Zhou Mo. Each semester, it was extremely difficult to gather five players to participate in the campus King of Glory league, as Gao Ge had already gained a notorious reputation, and players in the campus King of Glory circle avoided her at all costs.

Everyone turned to look in the direction pointed out by Zhang Chenghao. Gao Ge was momentarily taken aback, but then revealed a very charming smile, raised his hand, and kindly patted Zhang Chenghao on the shoulder, saying: "You have a good eye!"
"Will the 7th Wave team, who play Honor of Kings, be able to play?" Zhou Mo said patiently
With the discussion reaching this point, Zhang Chenghao had no choice but to engage in battle. Zhou Mutong and Xu Kaihuai were both key players in his Imperial Dynasty team. Regardless of the circumstances, one must rely on their own strength, so Zhang Chenghao decided to field his strongest lineup and give it his all first. As for Team Lang 7...
