The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"Hi, hello..." Yi Bing waved awkwardly to Gu Haifeng and the others, greeting them. Among them, Yi Bing was the oldest, probably about the same age as Sima Yi. Han Cheng felt that Yi Bing seemed to be a little older than Sima Yi.

"Hello..." Gu Haifeng and the other two waved to Yi Bing.

"Let's go in first!" Han Cheng said, glancing at the restaurant in front of him. Although he was the youngest among them, he still had a lot of say. While the others might not feel anything, Han Cheng still felt a strange unease.

"Alright, Han Shen, let's go in and take a look. The challengers shouldn't be finished yet," Gu Haifeng said.

So Han Cheng and Yi Bing entered the restaurant under the guidance of Gu Haifeng and others.

"The rules are actually quite simple. It's just a battle against the garrison team here. Although the garrison team isn't very strong, they have an advantage over us, making it an unfair challenge. However, the rewards are quite good," Gu Haifeng explained. "Two of my classmates have played against them and lost badly. The opponents can choose any hero, but we randomly restrict three heroes to be banned each round. Also, the opponents can eliminate one person, while we don't have a ban position."

"Tsk tsk, they can be very strong. At most, they can only have a slight advantage in hero selection. So what if there are a few heroes they can't use? I can carry with any hero, what am I afraid of?" Han Cheng said confidently. The two people traveling with Gu Haifeng looked at him with suspicion, as if he were an idiot. Although Han Cheng was a little angry, he still felt that ordinary people would not believe him for making such bold statements at such a young age. Therefore, he did not explain anything and decided to prove himself with his strength.

"Kid, are you sure you can do it?" Yi Bing said coldly.

"You'll find out in a bit," Han Cheng casually replied to Yi Bing.

"Haifeng, is the person you found reliable? He seems like a clown." One of them said to Gu Haifeng.

"I think we're doomed to lose if we fight," another person said. "We'll probably have to pay money again."

"Enough!" Even Yi Bing, who hadn't said much until now, spoke up. "We only need the two of you to make up the numbers. You can play if you want, or you can skip the deposit, but then the prize money won't be yours. However, don't gossip about others behind their backs." Yi Bing looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and Han Cheng was deeply moved.

"Hehe, then we won't pay the deposit. You guys pay it for both of us. If we win the prize money, it has nothing to do with us, but that's impossible," one of them said.

"Then it's settled." Yi Bing said coldly.

"Gentlemen, my two classmates have also lost a lot of money and are in a bad mood, you..." Gu Haifeng quickly stepped forward to say something nice.

"Alright, just because you're in a bad mood doesn't mean you can look down on people. We'll see about that later." Yi Bing said, then crossed her arms and didn't say anything more.

Gu Haifeng also looked helpless. His two classmates had indeed gone too far. Han Cheng, who was involved, didn't say anything, but he was very grateful to Yi Bing for standing up for him and silently gave her thirty-two thumbs up...

Several minutes later, the group emerged from the challenge room, looking dejected. Han Cheng could practically guess they had lost and been ripped off; otherwise, they would have been beaming with pride. Of course, it was also possible they were faking their disappointment…

"Tsk tsk, let's go pay the deposit. Judging from this situation, I guess no one wants to go for the time being," Gu Haifeng said. Han Cheng also glanced around. Many people were hesitant and didn't move forward. After all, many people had already lost. Apart from a few confident people who dared to take the challenge, it would depend on the pros in the random matches. As for professional teams, they probably didn't have the time or interest to play this challenge. After all, playing a random match would earn them more money than this challenge.

So the group went to pay the deposit and then went to play the so-called challenge match.

"Damn, they're all women?" Han Cheng was taken aback. The team he was facing was an all-female team. It was rare, really rare! Even in Han Cheng's own TOL team, having one female player was already quite unusual. He had never seen an all-female team before.

"But it should be relatively easy to fight, right?" Han Cheng muttered.

A moment later, one of the women, who seemed to be their captain, explained the rules to the group. It was actually similar to what Gu Haifeng had introduced before, adopting a best-of-three (B3) system, except that there were some restrictions on hero selection.

In this game, Han Cheng's team was not allowed to use Guan Yu, Cai Wenji, and Hou Yi, as these were randomly selected, while the opposing team banned Daji.

Han Cheng gave a wry smile; it seemed that Daji rarely had the chance to rise to the top spot.

Han Cheng decided that using lineups that relied heavily on teamwork against those two wouldn't be very effective. A lineup where each player was strong would be better, and "Sword Unsheathed" would be a good choice. However, Han Cheng felt he wouldn't be able to use this lineup in this game. Guan Yu and Hou Yi were unavailable, and he didn't know what the other two were planning to do, so he decided to just pick randomly.

"I'll jungle," Yi Bing said calmly. Although the other two showed a hint of dissatisfaction in their eyes, they didn't say anything. One of them chose Sun Shangxiang, and the other chose Xiahou Dun. Yi Bing immediately chose Li Bai, and Han Cheng had already bought him a skin.

"We can drive them out, but we can't kill them all!" With a wave of his longsword, Li Bai, who had fox ears, made a dashing entrance.

"I'll take the Bodhidharma instead," Gu Haifeng said, and quickly chose the Bodhidharma.

When it was Han Cheng's turn, he glanced at the newly purchased Zhuge Liang, whom he hadn't used much, and continued browsing the hero interface, seemingly having no intention of choosing Zhuge Liang.

The two were getting anxious; the opposing team had already chosen their heroes, and only Han Cheng was left to pick.

"Why don't you play Zhuge Liang?" one of them said.

"I'm afraid you can't afford it, right?" another person said sarcastically.

"Zhuge Liang, what a worthless hero," Han Cheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Trash? I'm afraid you can't afford it, can you?" the man said.

"Alright, you guys," Gu Haifeng said. His two classmates also looked down on Han Cheng, thinking that since he was younger than them, he must be a scumbag. But Han Cheng wasn't actually like that. Gu Haifeng then looked at Han Cheng and said, "Why don't you play Zhuge Liang, Han Shen? He's pretty powerful right now..."

"No, no," Han Cheng said.

"What do you want to play?" Yi Bing asked, puzzled.
