Chapter 14
The good friend who knew nothing about it began to imagine the scene of himself leading Qiao Ruiyi to success, and even happily imitated the postures of the game hero.
"My Marco Polo is the emblem of Beijing. Old Qiao, you are so lucky. Remember to play as Yao and stand on my head when the time comes, and wait for me to use my ultimate to take you flying."
He has watched KPL and knows that the Ma-Yao combination is an invincible bottom lane combination in the professional arena!
Qiao nodded in agreement: "I am looking forward to that time."
It’s just that he never plays soft support. He doesn’t like the feeling of powerlessness when he has to give the right to speak to unreliable teammates when playing games. He still prefers to control his own destiny.
He Lijie, who was still daydreaming, had his mouth almost stretched to his ears. It was a rare opportunity for him to show off his skills in front of the other party, so he had to give it his best performance no matter what.
"It's settled then. I'll contact you after I finish my graduation project."
"good."
After finishing their meal, the two of them left with their plates.
…
Two days passed in a flash, and by the time Qiao Ruiyi had fixed the problems in his graduation project, he hadn't logged into the game for a while.
Working on his graduation project alone has kept Qiao Ruiyi so busy that he cannot stop for even a quarter of an hour. He opens his computer to modify codes as soon as he opens his eyes, and thinks about the progress of tomorrow's work when he closes his eyes. He doesn't even have time to play games.
When he sent the revised graduation work to his tutor, he suddenly felt relieved and his soul seemed to be liberated.
Once people get out of the tense and high-pressure atmosphere, they will feel that time becomes extremely long.
As expected, Qiao Ruiyi also fell into this cycle. He suddenly felt that the time that was passing so quickly seemed to slow down. He sat in the chair in confusion, not knowing what he should do next.
His eyes inadvertently fell on his mobile phone, and he suddenly remembered the mobile game he had thrown aside.
Qiao Ruiyi almost opened the game application in his mobile phone. The familiar welcome tone reminded him of what happened not long ago.
He lost a solo match with someone else and was forced to change his game ID to a new name at the other party's request.
When Qiao Ruiyi saw the game ID displayed in the upper left corner of the screen, he still felt a little unfamiliar.
The dark moon is hidden, this ID has a unique charm. Just seeing it will make you think of the moon hidden behind the clouds at night.
Qiao Ruiyi reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the game ID. He was willing to accept the defeat and would not change his name privately. What's more, he also liked this new ID very much.
“Ding——”
A message notification suddenly lit up in the lower left corner of the screen.
Qiao Ruiyi looked at it suspiciously and found that it was a message from his previous double-queue partner.
Why did he suddenly send a message to me? Could it be that he was also online?
[Shanxing] Let’s make an appointment and play together next time?
【Shanxing】Is tomorrow night okay?
The boy's confusion was written all over his face. The other person's avatar was black, which meant that the owner of the account was not online at the moment. How could someone send him a message when he was not online?
Qiao Ruiyi looked back at the time when the message was sent, and was surprised to find that the message was sent to him two days ago - to be more precise, it should be the message that Shanxing sent to him after they said goodbye to each other on the night of their joint duo row.
Wouldn’t tomorrow night be the night before yesterday?
The expression on Qiao Ruiyi's face suddenly became dull. What should he do? It seemed like he had accidentally stood someone up. Could it be that the other person had waited for him the whole night?
Qiao Ruiyi, who always keeps his promises, immediately opened the typing interface, but he couldn't type a single word on the mobile phone keyboard.
I don’t know how to explain to the other party why I didn’t see the message in time.
Tell the truth?
Because he was busy with his graduation project in real life, he had no time to log into the game, which indirectly led to him missing the other party's invitation?
Qiao Ruiyi's mind wavered between telling the truth and simply fooling around, and finally he leaned towards treating people sincerely.
[Dark Moon] I was in a hurry to log off and didn’t see the message you sent. I’m sorry.
[Dark Moon] I'm really sorry, I've been busy with my graduation project these days and don't have extra time to log into the game, so I didn't see the message you sent me.
[Dark Moon] I'm so sorry, you didn't really wait for me all night, did you?
Every word Qiao Ruiyi said showed his apology after accidentally standing idly by.
Although this matter was not his fault, the man still didn't want anyone to be disappointed because of his "broken promise".
After sending the message, Qiao Rui deliberately waited for a while in the game lobby, but his hope did not come true. He never saw the star avatar in his friend list light up.
Feeling quite lost, Qiao Ruiyi played a ranked game alone.
I don’t know if it was because of my bad mood that indirectly led to my poor gaming feel, or if this account had won too many games in a row before and the system deliberately sanctioned gamers with high win rates, so it matched him with weak teammates.
In short, Qiao Ruiyi lost this game very badly. His teammates all had a negative record, with Xiao Qiao's record of 0-10 being the most outstanding. Qiao Ruiyi himself also had a record of 4-4.
The crystal was shattered by the enemy's forceful invasion, and the voice message of game failure rang out mercilessly.
Qiao Ruiyi returned to the game hall in disappointment. He suddenly missed someone who had played duo with him before.
Just when he was about to log off with regret, the screen of his mobile phone was suddenly filled with an invitation message.
【Shake Coke】has sent you an invitation.
Qiao Ruiyi was confused. Why didn't he remember that he had a friend named Shake Coke in his friend list?
The puzzled boy accidentally glanced at the word "team" in the lower right corner of the user name, and the doubts in his heart seemed to have found an outlet.
Could it be that a member of the "Pick the Stars with Your Hands" team invited him?
It was his first time joining a team, and he didn’t know that team members could invite strangers to play games together. This was a great experience.
Qiao Ruiyi speculated: Maybe the other party is short of people to run the game, so they sent invitations to team members everywhere?
The boy, who never liked playing games with strangers, directly rejected the other party's invitation.
Qiao Ruiyi thought of the person who asked him to join the team. He glanced at his friend list and found that the friend with a star avatar was still offline.
The man sighed, his hopes dashed again. The next second, his phone screen was occupied by the familiar invitation interface again.
【Shake Coke】has sent you an invitation.
The flower blooms twice.
Qiao Ruiyi: ???
No, why are the people in this team as stubborn as that guy? He has clearly rejected the other party, so why did they send him an invitation?
Qiao Ruiyi held his forehead weakly. Ever since he had seen Shan Xing's annoying look, he wanted to surrender first when he saw similar signs now.
The man's finger hovered over the "Agree" button, almost ready to press it - should he go over there and see what's going on? Try to make it clear to the other party so that he won't invite him again.
After making up his mind, Qiao Ruiyi clicked "Agree", and then he entered a room with only one person.
The user [摇煤乐]’s avatar is just like his name, with a bottle of cartoon cola on his head. As soon as he sees someone joining the room, he immediately sends a message to greet the other person enthusiastically.
[Shake Coke] Hello, Captain’s wife!
[Dark Moon Fading]?
Qiao Ruiyi looked at the inexplicable message, with a lot of question marks popping up in his head: What captain's wife?
[Dark Moon] Did you recognize the wrong person? I am not the captain's wife, and I just joined this team not long ago.
【Shake Coke】Ah?
[Shake Coke] Did I guess wrong? Because I saw that you and our captain have a couple ID, and you are in our team.
After reading the text sent by the other party, Qiao Ruiyi became more and more confused. What did it mean that he and the team captain had a couple ID?
[Dark Moon] Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?
He didn't know the captain of any team, and joined this team out of helplessness...
Qiao Ruiyi thought of Shan Xing again. When the other party asked him to apply to join the team, he paid special attention to the speed at which the application was approved after it was submitted. At that time, he wondered if this person might be a member of the team's management.
Of course, he could also be the captain of the team.
But his ID has nothing to do with Shanxing's, so how could others think it is a couple ID?
[Shake Coke] I can be very sure that I am not seeing things! If you don’t believe me, you can go and have a look.
[Shake Coke] Click on the team icon at the bottom of the game lobby, and the team captain's ID will be displayed under the team name on the right.
After being reminded by the other party, Qiao Ruiyi decided to find out more about why he was forced to join the team.
The boy followed the instructions step by step, and finally came to the team interface. Sure enough, there was the team information bar on the right, and under the team name was a player's user name.
The captain of the Stars That Can Be Picked by Hand team is named - Shining Star.
The dark moon is faint, and the shining stars are shining.
Qiao Ruiyi suddenly understood why Yao Kele said that he and the team captain were a couple ID. Who wouldn’t be confused when these two names were put together?
After the shock, there was endless confusion.
Qiao Ruiyi’s current ID was given to him by Shanxing after he lost the solo game, but what is the relationship between Shanxing and the team captain?
The confused boy continued to search the team page, and he saw the team member information column.
The team captain Yaoxing stood at the top of the team members, occupying the first row. His rank was displayed on the right side - King with 195 stars.
To be honest, this was the first time that Qiao Ruiyi had seen such a high rank. The people below him could only reach around 100 at most, while Yaoxing Shanshan was leading the whole field.
One hundred and ninety-five stars, is this the level of a strong person?
No wonder the name of this team is "Pick the Stars with Your Hands". For these people, it is not just a matter of picking up stars at will.
Qiao Ruiyi tried to suppress his surprise and continued to scroll through the team members' information column.
He learned that the team had two vice-captains, five commanders below them, and the rest were ordinary team members. The one who kept pulling his Coke shaker turned out to be the commander of the team.
Qiao Ruiyi continued to scroll down and finally found the familiar star avatar among the pile of ordinary members.
Ordinary member?
Qiao Ruiyi didn't believe that this guy's gaming level was just that of an ordinary team member. He had watched professional competitions, and Shanxing's gaming awareness and operations were clearly on par with those professional players.
Qiao Ruiyi can say with certainty that Shanxing cannot be just a team member.
But he still couldn't figure out the relationship between Shanxing and the team captain. If Shanxing had no relationship with the team captain, why did he give him this ID and invite him to join the team?
