Chapter 15
This isn't actually that strange.
Like the game Tianyao he played before, the developers of Diyao simplified the game and ported it to mobile phones, achieving considerable commercial success.
To date, the mobile version of Diyao remains in the top three of the game charts on major app stores.
Because of the simplified controls and smaller map, mobile games can truly be played by children as young as 7.
When Leng Zhi was with the LSG team, he would play the mobile game during his live streams to support the promotional activities for the mobile game's release.
At that time, Tianyao's mobile game version was already quite popular, and he even matched with two kids who played duo queue together.
The kid was very outgoing and chatted loudly into the microphone. Because his voice was so childish, his curious teammates also turned on their microphones and asked about their ages.
The kid controlled the mage and plunged headlong into the crowd, giving away First Blood, then shouted, "We're six years old!"
My teammate was so startled he almost dropped his phone.
Bullet comments:
[666]
[The kid might break the record for the youngest teammate in Coldzera's history]
[How to describe this 3v5 game?]
Recalling these past events, Leng Zhi couldn't help but take another look at Shao Youyou.
In the original book, she is a mischievous girl with few words, who happens to be seven years old, just at the starting age for the mobile game version of Di Yao.
Seven-year-old Shao Youyou attracted the attention of all the children with her mobile phone. They all sat around her, watching her play games intently.
[Where's Sister Shaoqi? Why is Youyou playing games again?]
[That "again" is spot on! Here comes Yu-chan, the internet-addicted girl!]
[I remember Sister Shaoqi mentioned it during her live stream a few days ago; she had just received a phone from Youyou.]
[You're so young, I wonder where you bought your phone]
[Hilarious! Perfect timing, Sister Shaoqi isn't here right now, she's about to start playing around.]
Some viewers then realized that Shaoqi wasn't in the dormitory room. After some questioning, they learned that Shaoqi hadn't been feeling well after dinner and had been taken backstage to rest by staff.
That's why Youyou was able to seize this opportunity.
She couldn't wait to start a quick match and began explaining the game to her friends.
Jiang Mingzhe was a little confused, but once he started the game, looking at the game map and the moving characters, he suddenly realized:
Hmm, this looks like the game that bad dad played yesterday!
Jiang Mingzhe raised his head and turned his head, trying to find his bad father.
He then noticed that Leng Zhi had somehow moved behind the kids and was watching Youyou play games with his arms crossed.
Enjoying it immensely.
Jiang Mingzhe silently turned his head back.
Although he wanted Leng Zhi to help him play the watch game, the game in Youyou's hand looked more interesting, sob sob!
Shaoyouyou plays the simplest mage, Daji.
This character is so easy to play that even those with poor hand-eye coordination can enjoy it. It doesn't require any extra skill, as almost all of its abilities are automatically targeting enemies.
The leisurely Daji arrived at the mid lane, cleared the minion wave, and then headed straight for the bottom of the map.
Shaoyou has been secretly playing Yaoyi for over half a year and roughly knows the game's objective—fight! Kill! Push towers! And then you win!
Therefore, her current goal is very clear.
Go to the bottom lane! Let's find someone to fight!
As she played, she explained to the kids, "The goal of the game is to kill! Now let's go to the bottom lane and kill the enemy Di Renjie!"
Shao Youyou spoke with great enthusiasm, and the children were also very excited. Xixi clenched her little fist tightly: "Go, Sister Youyou! Defeat him!"
After a long journey, Daji finally arrived at the side of the archer Hou Yi.
The marksmen on both sides were probing each other. As soon as Daji showed herself, the opposing team immediately retreated back under their tower.
Shao Youyou didn't use any of her skills on the opposing Di Renjie; instead, she hit all of them on the marksman's minion wave.
In MOBA games, killing minions can bring a lot of gold to heroes, but if two people share the gold, each person can only get 80% of the original amount.
The marksman lost gold and was heavily weakened. He typed a long message in the text box:
[Does this guy even know how to play? He can't catch anyone, and he still wants to take my coins!]
Shao Youyou didn't even glance at the text that popped up next to her—her teammates probably didn't expect that her teammate was a kid who had just received a kindergarten diploma and couldn't read at all.
She felt humiliated for failing to kill Di Renjie: "Don't worry, we'll be able to kill him in a little while!"
The other children watched Shao Youyou's actions intently, without a doubt.
So Xiao Daji stayed in the bottom lane and took two more waves of minions from the marksman.
The marksman was truly at a loss; he couldn't understand why his own mid-laner was staying there.
Is it because the minion wave in the mid lane is not easy to clear?
In his frustration, he started swearing in the channel, spewing out several profanities, which were automatically censored by the system as a string of profanities.
Shao Youyou wanted to wait a little longer, but just then, an exclamation mark suddenly appeared above Xiao Daji's head.
Jiang Mingzhe heard a soft sigh coming from above.
The next second, Xiao Daji's screen went gray, and the announcement was so loud that everyone could hear it.
[The enemy's Lanling King has killed our Daji!]
Shao Youyou: !!!
What's going on?! How did a sixth brother suddenly appear?!
Before Shao Youyou could explain, Xiaoyu had already seriously criticized Lanling Wang on the other side: "That Lanling Wang, he's too wicked, he ambushed Youyou!"
Xi Xi wholeheartedly agreed: "He's not a real man!"
Jiang Mingzhe: "Sister Youyou, hit him!"
[Hahaha, these kids are so funny!]
[Lanling King's skill is to use stealth to initiate attacks!]
[Xiaoyu always tries to comfort others in a serious manner]
[Poor archer, he was tortured terribly by Youyou.]
[This player is very immersive; you never know what kind of people you'll be playing with. (lights a cigarette)]
After being revived, Shaoyouyou's screen went gray again and again, returning her to the spawn point, and it looked like the game was about to be lost.
Shao Youyou pouted, holding back the tears welling up in her eyes, feeling quite unconvinced.
She didn't want to lose in front of so many new friends!
A large, bony hand reached over Youyou's shoulder and snatched her phone.
"I'll do it."
Leng Zhi, as the top tactical mastermind in the entire Chinese league, has coached players in various competitions, and countless players want to receive his training and guidance.
Even back when he hadn't yet made it into the league and was playing ranked matches in internet cafes, he only brought along top players from those internet cafes who were skilled at the Tianyao rank. Many of the teammates he recruited after forming his team had come all the way from those internet cafe days.
In conclusion, Shaoyouyou's game was arguably the most outrageous game Leng Zhi had ever watched in his esports career.
I couldn't stand it anymore; I had to do it myself.
Leng Zhi sat down cross-legged and, under Shao Youyou's bewildered gaze, quickly dragged the minimap to check the equipment and teammates' panels.
Although Daji is a simple hero to play, winning is not easy.
She relies heavily on the mana bonuses from her equipment and needs a good development environment to be effective in the late game.
Shaoyou died too many times in the early game, which slowed down her development and equipment acquisition. At this point in the game, there was basically no hope of turning the tide.
But it's not like there's no chance at all.
Watching Leng Zhi's skillful maneuvering, Shao Youyou sniffed and asked in a muffled voice, "Can...can we win?"
Jiang Mingzhe recalled the game footage he saw last night and confidently assured Leng Zhi, "Yes, he can! Bad... good dad can kill ten bad guys!"
