The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

A very ordinary title.

(Hey everyone, don't get the wrong idea from the title, okay, I guess I was overthinking it.)

"Hmm, very good answer." Seeing that get out of class was about to end, the teacher assigned homework: copy the vocabulary words. The boys all shouted that they would complete the task, but in reality, how could they want to do the homework? They were just showing off.

"Ding..." The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

"Han Cheng, come to my office with me." The teacher walked gracefully out of the classroom, carrying books on her back, wearing high heels. Han Cheng was completely bewildered. I haven't done anything wrong, why do I have to go to the office?

With a feeling of unease, I walked out of the classroom. The other boys looked at me with envy or schadenfreude, probably thinking that Han Cheng had done something wrong.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not going to criticize you." The teacher sat in her chair and smiled slightly.

"Not going to criticize me? Okay, I guess I was overthinking it." Han Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully nothing happened.

"Hmm, weren't you guys participating in that school competition recently? Have you been studying hard lately?"

"I guessed that playing games would definitely affect my studies?" Han Cheng thought to himself, but considering that the teacher was just concerned about him, he answered, "Yes."

"You won first place in the competition. I watched the competition that day, and you played very well," the teacher said.

"Thank you, teacher. Actually, I'm not that great." Han Cheng adopted a hybrid approach to answering, saying thank you on one hand and adding a humble phrase like "not that great" on the other. Hmm, Perfect.

"I heard from your homeroom teacher that you once played games with her..."

"Oh yes."

"Could you play a game with me? I'm only at the Platinum rank, and I can't seem to get to Diamond..."

"?" Han Cheng was a little surprised. So the teacher also played, and seemed to be much better than the homeroom teacher. She was already in Platinum and would probably be in Diamond soon. If he helped her rank up, it probably wouldn't be a big problem.

"can."

"Um, do you have time at noon today?"

"Okay!" Han Cheng readily agreed.

"Hmm, how about coming to my place for lunch?"

"Teacher, this..."

"What? You dislike your teacher and don't want to go to your teacher's house?"

……

"Little Orange, you're back?" Xu Xiaomeng asked with concern.

"Mm." Han Cheng nodded.

"What did your English teacher want with you?" Xu Xiaomeng asked again.

"Actually, it's nothing much, just some schoolwork-related stuff. They told me to work hard, and also..."

"What is it?" Xu Xiaomeng's eyes widened.

"It's nothing really, my English teacher just asked me to help her get a higher score..."

"Hmm, okay. The city tournament is next week, I'm a little nervous..." Xu Xiaomeng thought about the exam, then thought about the city tournament, and looked utterly hopeless. However, she wasn't bad at studying, and her gaming skills were decent, so there was no need to worry too much. Sometimes people are like that, always scaring themselves, not realizing that confidence is the key.

"Hey, what's the big deal? With our strength, we're unstoppable!" Han Cheng said confidently. Indeed, with his own special ability, coupled with Ye Bing's strength and everyone's teamwork, he believed that achieving a ranking wouldn't be a problem. At the very least, they would definitely advance in the preliminary rounds and avoid being eliminated.

"Yes, you're right..." Xu Xiaomeng slumped onto the table, clearly having slept poorly the night before.

At noon, during lunch break, Han Cheng didn't gather with his friends under the big tree to play games again. Instead, his English teacher drove him to her home.

"Sit down quickly!" The teacher gestured for Han Cheng to sit down and said she was going to wash some fruit for him. Han Cheng didn't want to eat it, but he couldn't refuse the teacher's hospitality and ate a banana.

"Teacher, shall we start now?" Han Cheng put down the banana peel in his hand.

"Okay, I'll log in now." The teacher said, turning on his phone and logging into Honor of Kings.

"Teacher, do you have Wi-Fi here?" Han Cheng asked, knowing he only had a few gigabytes of data, so it would be better to use the Wi-Fi.

"Yes, come here, I'll tell you the password," the teacher said with a smile.

"Well, okay..."

A few minutes later.

"Today is a bad day for the other side." The teacher is also playing Luna. Why "also"? Because it's the same one the homeroom teacher chose last time, but this one doesn't have any skins.

"Teacher, do you play Luna?" Han Cheng was a little worried that his teacher might not be able to play Luna.

"Yes, that's right." The teacher nodded.

"A warm-hearted man should have good manners." Han Cheng chose Liu Bei, a jungler known for his fast jungle clear and insane late-game damage. In this Platinum-ranked game, Liu Bei can basically build a full set of items by the mid-game before the enemy team has even finished developing, and then take on five opponents at once—this is no exaggeration. His teacher is Platinum III, which isn't too bad, considering Han Cheng himself came from that rank.

The teacher's Luna takes Smite, and Han Cheng's Liu Bei also takes Smite, adopting a double jungler strategy. The double jungler strategy is quite popular now, but it is not suitable to take double junglers if there are heroes in the team who rely heavily on gold, such as Han Xin and Luna.

Although the teacher chose Luna in this game, and Han Cheng's Liu Bei would be competing with Luna for resources while jungling, Han Cheng never intended to farm his own jungle monsters. He figured he might as well go jungle on the enemy side.

"Teacher, I'll take the blue buff with you," Han Cheng said. The teacher nodded and manipulated Luna to go to their own blue buff area with Han Cheng. The strategy of grouping up to invade the enemy jungle in the early game only exists in high-level games. In Platinum games like this, which are not very high-level, teammates generally do not have this awareness and cooperation. They all act independently, and when they cooperate, it is always for their own benefit and for the team's victory.

After taking the blue buff, Han Cheng and Luna went straight to the enemy team to steal the red buff. The enemy Han Xin started with the blue buff, and if their marksman hadn't gone for the red buff, they would naturally be going for it. Moreover, Han Cheng had already seen the enemy's every move clearly with his "God's eye view," so he wouldn't miss out.

In the early game, Luna and Liu Bei have very poor ability to keep enemies in place, and Han Xin is fast, so he's even called "Han the Jumper" (a nickname for Han Xin). Luna and Liu Bei are both short-legged in the early game, so they naturally can't catch up, and Liu Bei's legs won't grow any longer even in the late game.

"Are you leaving?" the teacher asked, worried that someone from the other side might come and arrest them.

"No, let's finish off their monsters first," Han Cheng said calmly. But is that really the right thing to do?

Han Cheng's Liu Bei was the first to reach level four, and Teacher's Luna was almost there too. The enemy Han Xin requested support, and two people came to gank Han Cheng and his team. Han Cheng calmly helped Teacher get a blue buff. With Luna and Liu Bei both at level four, who are they afraid of?

Han Xin, as a jungler, is only level three, Zhuang Zhou, who came to support, is only level two, and Sun Shangxiang is already level three.

Luna and Liu Bei hid in the bushes. When the three opponents approached, Luna used her first skill followed by her ultimate. After landing, she immediately activated her second skill to pull the three opponents in.

The three people opposite were fearless. "You dare to take on all three of us by yourself?"
