Chapter 4, First Time, First Step

Give it a try

"Is there any problem?" Gao Ge asked

Li Bai

He He Yu instinctively wanted to blurt it out. That was his brother He Liang's most adept hero, whose figure wielding sword energy in the King’s Canyon was what He Yu had always yearned for. If he had just one opportunity to play, the hero he most wanted to try was Li Bai. However, he held back the words at the tip of his tongue. Li Bai was merely his preferred choice, but what the team needed depended on the heroes of his teammates and opponents. Choosing a hero is aimed at achieving victory; it cannot be based solely on personal preference.

"Classmate, could you do us a favor?" The speaker was Zhang Chenghao, and he was the one who selected the person, so he stepped forward without hesitation to take the initiative in the discussion

"Be more specific," Gao Ge said patiently, further inquiring. This surprised Zhou Mo a bit; he was familiar with Gao Ge, and Gao Ge's attitude towards this passerby was somewhat unusual, a feeling he had already sensed.

Unlike the King’s Canyon, in the Changping offensive and defensive battle, there is only one lane for minions, but the jungle is divided into upper and lower sections. The number of jungle monsters is quite large, with a total of nine in the upper area and fifteen in the lower area, including the Tyrant. Moreover, the respawn rate is faster. Among them, the respawn time for certain functional jungle monsters ranges from 1 minute to 2 minutes, but there are a total of sixteen ordinary jungle monsters that respawn every 35 seconds, which is only half the respawn time of ordinary jungle monsters in the King’s Canyon.

"It is like this, we are preparing to have a 3V3 match, but we are short one person. Could you lend a hand?" said Zhang Chenghao

There is no blue Buff in this picture, "He Yu lamented to his opponent.

He Yu was drinking soda outside the student supermarket, waiting for He Liang, when he suddenly saw a crowd of people pouring out from the bustling tree-lined avenue, heading in his direction. Behind him was the student supermarket, and He Yu didn't think much of it, but unexpectedly, the group came to a halt right in front of him, all of them staring at him.

Now it was Zhang Chenghao's turn to smile brightly. A person who doesn't even have the game "Honor of Kings" installed on their phone, of course, wouldn't know how to play it, just as he wished. For a moment, he found everything about He Yu pleasing to the eye, and his tone of voice became doubly friendly: "No rush, we can wait for you. Or we can lend you a phone from our side if that works."

This... has always been the case, hasn't it? Zhou Mo couldn't help but say. He initially thought there was something special that he didn't know about. However, the economic aspect in the wild area? In the 5V5 King’s Canyon, isn't that also a key point? This is simply the norm

At that moment, suddenly being asked like this, He Liang was at a loss for how to respond. After a brief pause, he finally nodded.

What is it? It is rather strange. He is merely a new student who has just entered the school, and he has not yet had the chance to get to know his classmates or even his roommates, so it is hard to think of any matter in which he could be of assistance.

He Yu listened and found it quite straightforward. After trying it once, he would return the phone to its owner and go about his own business. If he were to download the game "Honor of Kings" onto his own phone, He Yu doubted whether he would be willing to delete anything. Thus, he nodded at Zhang Chenghao and said, "Then lend me one."

"Good." Zhang Chenghao nodded. He did not want the commands and communications of the three of them to be directly overheard by the other side, so he immediately walked away with his two teammates, maintaining a distance that would not interfere with each other.

"There is harvesting, there is control. As for the Changping offensive and defensive battle, how about I take on the role of Huang Zhong?" He Yu said.

The voice that had been suppressed for a long time was shouting within his heart. The situation before him, which was so convenient, completely stirred up his long-held desire, and he inexplicably nodded in agreement.

Zhang Chenghao felt that this was a perfect opportunity to humiliate Gao Ge and vent his frustrations, and he was reluctant to miss it. He hurriedly followed and earnestly persuaded, "Classmate, please help! A game only takes a few minutes, it won't take up too much of your time. If you don't have anything urgent to attend to."

He was taken aback. Honor of Kings, this game he not only knows about. During the five years that his brother He Liang became a professional player, he hardly missed any professional matches, and he paid considerable attention even to the preseason training matches, friendly matches, and exhibition matches of various teams. Honor of Kings is both familiar and unfamiliar to him. It is familiar because he has followed so many professional matches for such a long time, yet it is unfamiliar because he has never personally tried the game. This is not due to a lack of curiosity, but rather because his parents are more concerned about He Liang's involvement in esports. He cannot imagine how they would feel seeing another child in the family equally passionate about this game. He does not want to cause his parents any anxiety, so for these five years, he has only focused on He Liang and the KPL, but has never personally tried the game.

The match quickly loaded, and both sides' heroes refreshed in the fountain. This was He Yu's first time facing heroes as a summoner, and the excited and joyful feelings suddenly calmed at this moment

It seems that the members of the Dynasty team are quite unfamiliar with the Changping offensive and defensive battle! Gao Ge remarked. In the game, the proper name for the Blue Buff is the Power of the Azure Statue. Killing the Azure Statue in the jungle grants this buff. Its effect is to reduce the cooldown time of hero skills by 20% and additionally provide 2% mana regeneration per second, lasting for 70 seconds. Many heroes in the game heavily rely on the Blue Buff, and the Luna chosen by Zhang Chenghao is a typical example. Without the Blue Buff, Luna struggles significantly with skill combos and mana consumption. Therefore, when facing heroes like Luna, it has become a common strategy to target the Blue Buff and prevent Luna from obtaining it as much as possible. As a result, this map simply has no Blue Buff, as if the hero was directly banned during the BP phase, clean and straightforward.

Oh. The classmate known as Xiao Ji immediately handed his phone to He Yu. After He Yu took it and expressed his thanks, he logged into the game and looked at Gao Ge and Zhou Mo

Therefore, the absence of Honor of Kings on the mobile phone should be due to just having changed phones or some other reason, right? Gao Ge thought this way, ultimately not believing that He Yu, who had pointed out so clearly to Pan Ruiming, would not know how to play Honor of Kings. She nodded towards He Yu, while Zhang Chenghao had already eagerly set up a 3V3 battle room and sent them an invitation.

I... actually have no urgent matters. He Huyu felt a bit moved. After five years of serious attention to a certain matter, how could he not be curious, how could he not be moved? He had thought countless times about trying, but ultimately he still managed to restrain himself. However, at this moment, it was not his own initiative, but rather someone needed help.

What do you need me for?" He suppressed the impulse to use Li Bai's words, and He Yu retorted.

"Leave the minion wave to us, you go to the upper jungle to farm the monsters," Gao Ge said

"Honor of Kings, are you familiar with this mobile game?" Zhang Chenghao inquired

"There is no rush, let's discuss it first," Gao Ge said as he looked at Zhang Chenghao and the others. "Shouldn't we maintain some distance?"

I see. Gao Ge and Zhou Mo are both players at the King rank. Upon hearing such a clear explanation, they immediately realized the significance of the "jungle economy" and that no further elaboration was necessary. After the three of them finished their preparations and called out to each other, Zhang Chenghao, who had been eagerly waiting, immediately started the match. The three of them selected their heroes as discussed and then entered the loading screen, where they saw that the opposing team had chosen Yang Jian, Luna, and Sun Shangxiang.

Gao Ge's words made Zhang Chenghao's heart skip a beat, and then he heard He Yu say, "Let me download the game first"

Understood. He nodded awkwardly, somewhat clumsily controlling his Huang Zhong, taking his first step in Honor of Kings

"I use Zhuge Liang, he uses Su Lie, what do you think would be better for you to use?" Gao Ge asked

Thank you," Gao Ge said, looking at Zhang Chenghao with a bright smile, "Then let's get started.

Luna..." He Yu couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing the opposing lineup

However, she did not spend much time with He Yu at the student office, but she has always been very attentive to those who play Honor of Kings. She clearly remembers that the one who was guiding the rookie Pan Ruiming in the student office was this young man in front of her. Although she only heard a few simple sentences, they all demonstrated his profound familiarity with Honor of Kings. Moreover, he is the younger brother of He Liang, a former KPL professional player

Upon hearing that He Yu had no games on his phone, Zhou Mo's expression became even more resolute. However, Gao Ge began to feel puzzled, as she started to doubt whether she had recognized the person correctly

"Jungle economy," He Yu said

Can we start? He Yu asked, somewhat impatiently, his voice even trembling slightly. After five years of attention and patience, he finally welcomed such an opportunity. Although it was not the commonly seen Summoner's Canyon, but rather a not-so-popular battle of Changping, it was already enough for him. Summoning his own hero, walking and fighting under the turret, on the minion line, and in the jungle... Such scenes had only appeared in He Yu's dreams, and now they were about to become a reality. Whether it was Summoner's Canyon or the battle of Changping, that was not the most important thing.

Several individuals entered the room in succession. He Yu saw three people, all of whom had the same team name as their prefix ID: Dynasty · Chenghao, Dynasty · Mutong, Dynasty · Kaihuai

The two teammates on our side belong to the team named Lang 7, with their IDs being Lang 7 · Gao Ge and Lang 7 · Zhou Mo. As for He Yu, he borrowed another person's account, but his own ID has the prefix Huang Chao, and is called Huang Chao · Xiao Ji

Is there something going on? He Hanyu, puzzled, stood up and glanced around. The girl smiling at him felt somewhat familiar, but before he could think it through, a boy next to him had already spoken up

"So what is the focus of this image?" Gao Ge asked. At the same time, Zhou Mo had already shown a look of surprise. Considering the lineup and having an understanding of the Changping offensive and defensive battle, it was impossible for this passerby to be someone who didn't know how to play. Did they not have Honor of Kings installed on their phone? Perhaps there was some other reason, Zhou Mo thought immediately. So what is the focus of this image? Zhou Mo also began to pay attention, as he was actually quite unfamiliar with the Changping offensive and defensive battle. Perhaps there was some other reason, Zhou Mo thought immediately.

"Missing one person?" He Hanyu looked around in confusion. There were so many people gathered that he couldn't even count them at a glance. Not to mention a 3V3 match; even setting up a few 5V5 matches would be more than sufficient. Why would someone specifically come up to him to ask him to join?

"Xiao Ji, could you lend your account to this classmate for a while? Your phone is good, and you have a complete set of heroes and runes," Zhang Chenghao said generously to a companion beside him.

To be precise, we are one person short. All of these are their people, so the two of us have no choice but to find a passerby to help us. The girl who looked a bit familiar stepped forward and said. The boy wearing glasses standing next to her nodded when He Yu looked over.

Oh? You have also studied the Battle of Changping?" Gao Ge was a bit surprised. Familiarity with this map is unrelated to one's gaming skills; it is simply because it is not popular, and very few players delve deeply into it.

"Which hero do you use?" Gao Ge asked He Yu

"I can't say I have researched it, I just know a little bit," He Yu said. In the KPL professional arena, there is no Changping offensive and defensive battle, but He Yu's interest in professional competitions is not limited to official matches. He has watched the Changping offensive and defensive battle in some exhibition matches, so he is not unfamiliar with this map, having gained some understanding from these informal competitions.
