The next day.
After their intimate moments, Luo Tianyi installed the Honor of Kings application. Upon clicking it open, she soon reached the nickname input screen. She couldn't help but lightly furrow her delicate brows. "Ye Xuan, what name do you think I should choose?"
"Hmm?"
Watching his wife's actions, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment. A nickname came to mind. "As the ancient saying goes: Huafeng Xiayun, Luoshui Tianyi."
"Why don't we make your in-game name Luoshui Tianyi?"
"Luoshui Tianyi? This name is good."
This was Luo Tianyi's first time experiencing Honor of Kings, and there were many novelties. Of course, sometimes what matters isn't what you're doing, but who you're doing it with.
Luo Tianyi suddenly developed a considerable interest in Honor of Kings, eager to see what sort of charm this game, popular throughout the country, truly possessed.
"Have you decided which character you want to use?"
Ye Xuan asked, watching his wife's eager expression with amusement.
"Mhm, I'll use Mulan!"
Luo Tianyi stated with conviction. "I researched it online yesterday. Mulan is one of the few warrior-type, non-mana-consuming assassins among the female heroes. Her attack damage is a top-tier seven stars. Although she's difficult to master, I'm confident in myself!"
"Oh?"
Hearing his wife's choice, Ye Xuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected his wife to favor such a character; usually, this type was preferred by males.
"Then let your husband see how well you've researched it yesterday."
"Alright."
Without delay, Luo Tianyi immediately used Mulan to start a matchmaking game.
However, as the battle unfolded, the hero Mulan, controlled by Luo Tianyi, secured two kills consecutively. With her rapid movements, Mulan's health bar had only dropped by half, which somewhat surprised Ye Xuan.
"Wife, your… your play is quite slick. Are you sure this is your first time playing?"
"Yes, I feel there are still some areas for improvement. This Mulan is super fun. No wonder so many people like playing Honor of Kings."
Ye Xuan: "Uh…"
At this moment, Ye Xuan, with his ultimate gaming prowess, had to admit that his wife was, in fact, a gaming genius, at least with Mulan. As for other characters, he wasn't sure yet.
However, since she was just starting, Ye Xuan still noticed over ten flaws: her skill transitions were too stiff, she didn't utilize the bushes effectively, and her grasp of the passive ability was insufficient…
And so on.
If Ye Xuan were playing Mulan and achieving the same results, he could have done so without taking a single drop of damage.
One match, three matches, five matches…
Soon, Luo Tianyi reached level 6 and had purchased five hero characters. Ranked matches officially began.
*Ding-a-ling~*
Just then, a call came in. Ye Xuan saw it was his cousin, Ye Xiaodao, and answered.
"Hello, cousin!"
"Are you online yet? I'm just a few matches away from reaching Platinum Elite. Can you carry me? I promise I'll study hard when school starts!!"
In Ye Xiaodao's room, Ye Xiaodao sported two dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, he had stayed up all night yesterday, excited about reaching Gold I Honor. He had intended to reach Platinum Elite himself, but not only did he fail to reach Platinum, he almost dropped from Gold I Honor. If he lost one more match, he'd drop to Gold II Honor. He was truly afraid to play any longer.
Ye Xuan, who was about to start ranked matches with Luo Tianyi, heard his cousin's words. "You rascal."
"Today, your cousin is in a good mood. I'll play a few games with you. I'll invite you later. Oh, and get your best buddy Li Xiaoyue to join too."
"Got it, hehe, cousin, I love you to death!!"
As soon as Ye Xiaodao hung up, he immediately dialed his best friend Li Xiaoyue, relaying the good news that his cousin would be carrying them again.
A few minutes later, in the living room of Li Ruobing's villa.
"Wow!!!!"
Li Xiaoyue leaped three feet into the air, his startled exclamation making Li Ruobing jump. She thought Li Xiaoyue had gone mad.
"Li Xiaoyue!!"
Under her death glare, Li Xiaoyue sheepishly scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "No, sis. It's… it's Xiaodao's cousin who's carrying me in Honor of Kings. You don't know…"
Li Xiaoyue immediately recounted what had happened yesterday with great excitement. Li Ruobing was taken aback. She knew her brother was a noob, but seeing that he had reached Gold II Honor overnight… Was Ye Shao… so skilled even at games?
"Xiaoyue, let your sister watch you play."
"Hehe, sis, really~"
Li Xiaoyue's face turned crimson with excitement upon hearing his sister wanted to watch him play. This was the first time his sister had ever wanted to watch him play. It must be because he had reached Gold II Honor.
Of course, Li Xiaoyue was thinking too simply. How could his sister possibly be interested in watching him, a noob? She was purely curious about Ye Shao's skills.
Soon, the game began!
Ye Xuan created a room and directly started a four-player queue for matchmaking.
"Wife, stay close to me. The players matched by the system are veterans now."
"Oh?"
Luo Tianyi nodded obediently and followed Ye Xuan. This scene, however, left Ye Xiaodao and Li Xiaoyue bewildered. What was going on?
Was Ye Ge not carrying them?
"Cousin, who is that Mulan behind you~"
"Yeah, she doesn't even have a ranked level!!"
Ye Xiaodao and Li Xiaoyue typed rapidly, their curiosity piqued.
Luo Tianyi saw the words on the screen, her cheeks slightly flushing. Ye Xuan smiled and typed back, "That's your sister-in-law."
"Luoshui Tianyi??"
Li Ruobing saw the nickname above Mulan's head and was stunned. "Could this Mulan be… Ye Shao's wife, President Luo!?"
Although it was just a guess, Li Ruobing was already ninety percent certain.
"First Blood!"
As Li Ruobing pondered, a game sound came from her brother's phone, followed by text on the screen: "Congratulations to player Luoshui Tianyi for defeating Xiao Mi Jia Bu Qiang!!"
"Wow~!!"
Li Ruobing's beautiful eyes flickered upon seeing Luoshui Tianyi get the first kill. This President Luo was quite formidable!
Although she didn't understand Honor of Kings very well, she had observational skills and could clearly see that Luo Tianyi, controlling Mulan, was playing very well.
"Sister-in-law, so awesome!!"
Ye Xiaodao was also stunned watching Luo Tianyi's Mulan play. He never imagined his sister-in-law's skills were so much better than his, especially when she had said she had never played before.
"But, this…"
Without comparison, there was no harm. Ye Xiaodao was truly envious of his sister-in-law's talent.
Subsequently, with the destructive and tacit cooperation between Sun Wukong and Mulan, the top lane turret collapsed directly, followed by clearing a wave of soldiers. The series of operations was fluid and seamless. With Mulan's support, Ye Xuan's Sun Wukong was like a tiger with wings.
A few minutes later.
The opponent's top lane had been pushed all the way to their nexus. After a team wipe, Sun Wukong and Mulan directly destroyed the opponent's nexus, winning the first match.
"Hiss… wow~"
"Sister-in-law, you're amazing~!!"
Ye Xiaodao and Li Xiaoyue smacked their lips. They and the other teammate hadn't even adjusted to the opponent's rhythm, and the ranked match was already over. So strong! Boss and Sister-in-law's coordination was too powerful; they were no different from gods. Oh my heavens~~
