She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Chapter 18: Playing Games x New Romantic Partner

Jiang Lai downloaded the game quite quickly, and she registered and logged in without any problems.

Although she didn't know how to play games, what if the original owner of this body had this talent? With hopeful anticipation, Jiang Lai opened the tutorial and played a game against the AI.

Then, while the ideal was beautiful, reality was cruel. This game called "King of Glory," aside from some similarities to the previous game, had completely different mechanics and systems. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them two different games.

Jiang Lai's pitiful gaming experience from her previous life was completely useless; in Jiang Lai's hands, the game became a true "dead end."

Jiang Lai, believing that spending money could make her stronger, immediately started depositing money into the game, buying all sorts of things, since she wasn't short of money anyway.

After spending the money, she immediately played another round, and unsurprisingly, she lost again.

If they can't even beat the AI, they probably won't have a chance to play against real players, right? Hopefully, Lu Jin is a strong player, otherwise, 4v6 is really hard to handle, and that's assuming there are players throwing the game on their side.

For some reason, Jiang Lai had a persistent feeling of unease. It couldn't be that bad, could it?

Although Jiang Lai wasn't very good at the game, it was really addictive. When Lu Jin messaged her, Jiang Lai realized that she had arranged to play ranked matches with someone else, so why was she playing against bots all by herself?

Jiang Lai quickly switched back to WeChat and typed: Hurry, hurry, big boss, help me out!

Lu Jin: I'll pull you up.

The two people are WeChat friends, so they can simply add each other.

Lu Jin asked: Shall we make a voice call?

Jiang Lai: No problem.

Then she immediately sent a WeChat voice message to Lu Jin.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lai asked tentatively.

Lu Jin laughed: "I'm here, I'm here. What's your ID? I have too many contacts, it's hard to find you."

Jiang Lai's game ID is very authentic; it says, "So what if you call me bad?" It's the kind of ID that immediately tells you her true skill level.

Jiang Lai said softly, somewhat embarrassed, "What's wrong with my cooking?"

Lu Jin seemed not to have heard clearly, "Huh?"

Jiang Lai took a breath and raised her voice: "I said, my ID is 'So what if I'm bad at the game'!"

Lu Jin smiled again: "Okay, I see. I'll pull you. I have two friends with me, can we come together?"

"I'm fine with everything, should I add them to the voice chat?"

"It's okay. You're not very good at it, so I'll teach you first. The other two can manage on their own, so you can just follow me."

"Row."

Jiang Lai thought to herself, "Lu Jin can still laugh now because he hasn't seen my abilities yet. I bet he won't be laughing anymore in a little while."

After playing a few rounds against bots, Jiang Lai was completely certain that neither she nor the original owner of the body had unlocked any gaming skills; they were complete gaming idiots and gaming black holes.

Hopefully, Lu Jin and his friends won't get upset.

Since Jiang Lai was a newbie, she didn't play ranked matches, so Lu Jin started a casual match.

Lu Jin and his friends were all high-ranking players, and they had spent a lot of money on in-game purchases, making them seem like pro players. Jiang Lai felt a little relieved. One Lu Jin might not be able to carry her, but surely three older brothers could carry one younger sister?

Because Jiang Lai's profile picture clearly showed she was a girl, and her game ID was also quite witty, Lu Jin's two friends immediately said they would help the girl win the game. While waiting for random players, the two even typed a few teasing words.

Kazama Ruri: You brat, you actually brought a girl with you!

Thomas: There's a girl here!! I'm definitely going to win this round!

Lu Jin's ID is "Brother Lu". He posted: "My friend doesn't know how to play, can you teach her?"

Jiang Lai was quick to respond and sent an emoji: "Thanks everyone for helping me!"

Ruri Kazama: Don't worry! With Ruri here, there won't be any problems.

Thomas: Bullshit, there won't be any problems as long as I'm here!

After a while, I was matched with a teammate and immediately entered the hero selection screen.

Ruri Kazama, who lives on the first floor, usually plays the archer class.

On the second floor was Lu Jin. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Jin said to Jiang Lai, "I'll choose jungler, you choose—"

But the player on the third floor, who was also a random teammate, seemed to be a pro as well. He sent a message: I want to jungle.

Lu Jin saw the message and said, "Then the third floor will be the jungler, I'll play mid, and you'll pick support and play with me?"

Jiang Lai: "Okay!" After all, a newbie like me can only follow orders, and I just need to try not to be a burden to my teammates.

"Then I'll take Zhang Fei?" Jiang Lai was a little dizzy and picked one at random.

"Hmm? Either is fine, but I thought you'd pick something pretty." Zhang Fei isn't really a girl's type, so Lu Jin originally thought Jiang Lai would choose someone like Yao.

Jiang Lai's voice was calm, but upon closer listening, it carried a hint of guilt: "That makes sense. After all, being strong or not is temporary, but being beautiful or handsome is for a lifetime. But this isn't the first game, so I'm sorry to let my teammates down. I'll try this one first."

"No problem, it's okay if we lose, it's just for fun." Lu Jin's clean and clear voice came through the electricity, the boy's voice full of energy.

Thomas got Arthur.

Just as Jiang Lai selected her hero, 001 said, "Host, your random teammate is a potential romance target."

"what?"

"Yes, the romanceable character is Qu Su, whose current affection level is 0."

Jiang Lai paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

001: "Host, you need to be more proactive in your strategy!"

Jiang Lai replied quietly, "I can only take care of one person in a game! Because I'm really bad at it, I hope Qu Su won't mind."

Some hot-tempered guys feel like they've lost the whole world when they lose a game; they have no emotions, they only want to win.

What Jiang Lai didn't know was that Qu Su was a game streamer, and today he was streaming, playing casual games using his fan account.

He doesn't care much about winning or losing when playing casual games, as long as it's not too outrageous.

"Looks like my teammates are alright, but this girl seems a bit off. How do I know? My gut feeling tells me. Most importantly, her ID is so self-assured, it practically screams 'she's no good.'" The blue-haired boy lounged lazily in his chair, seemingly unconcerned that he was streaming, completely at ease. Under the lights, his earring gleamed, drawing attention, just like him—full of vitality and captivating.

—Ah! Blue-haired Qu Su!!! I'm dead!

—I'm so envious of random teammates who get carried to victory.

—Use my account next time!

Husband! Husband!!!

—Stop looking, everyone, this is my husband.

—Hey, the other team's setup is pretty good too, they seem like they know how to play.

—It's okay, Susu is here, no problem!

Qu Su chuckled lazily: "Isn't this just indiscriminate killing?"

—With one glow stick, Qu Ge's side wins this round.

—One glow stick, and the other side wins.

—Hard to say, there are girls here.

—What's wrong with girls? Are girls necessarily bad at games?

—Then I bet on this side to win.

Qu Su also saw the message in the live broadcast room and said, "Stop betting, there's no suspense, I'll definitely win."

Qu Su isn't a professional player, but he's incredibly skilled. Esports clubs once tried to recruit him, but he declined. He simply works as a casual game streamer, playing sporadically, but despite this, his good looks, solid gaming skills, and carefree attitude have attracted a large following.

The game begins.
