Chapter 257: Xia Nuannuan's Signature Hero

"Tian Ge, can you hear me?"

After the game voice chat connected, Qin Tian put on his headset, and Xia Nuannuan's soft, cute voice came through from the other side.

"Mm, I hear you."

"That's good. Is this Chen Zhuang?"

"Who else but him would pick such a nickname!"

"Hee hee..."

Xia Nuannuan giggled happily.

"Hey, hey, you two have the nerve to talk about my nickname? Hurry up and start!"

Chen Zhuang also connected to the game voice chat and urged them impatiently.

"Brother Dazhuang is very mighty? Nuan Nuan, is this really Chen Zhuang? What was he thinking? Picking a nickname like that?"

Shen Siqi's voice suddenly rang out in the headset.

"Pfft!"

Xia Nuannuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Zhuang's expression stiffened, and he looked at Cao Mingliang, who was sitting to the side, with a questioning gaze.

Cao Mingliang raised his hand high and patted his shoulder, saying with a serious face: "Let's be honest, your nickname is a bit lacking compared to mine."

"Hurry up, think of one for me."

Chen Zhuang said with a dark face.

"Don't worry, you go ahead and play, I guarantee I'll think of one that's cool as hell for you."

Cao Mingliang nodded and said.

After starting the matchmaking, the game entered instantly.

"What positions are you two playing?"

Chen Zhuang asked.

"Bot lane duo!"

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan answered in unison.

The corners of Chen Zhuang's mouth twitched violently, and he suddenly regretted playing with these two.

"Fine, then I'll go top lane!"

"Nuan Nuan, is this game fun?"

In the headset, Shen Siqi's voice sounded again; it seemed she was also sitting nearby watching the game.

"It's quite fun. Tian Ge taught me how to play, and I'm very good at support."

Xia Nuannuan began to show off with a rather proud tone.

"Support? What does that mean?"

Shen Siqi asked in surprise.

"It's... how should I put it... Oh, you'll see in a moment. I'll explain it to you while I play; support is very simple."

"Alright!"

"Shen Siqi, can I teach you how to play?"

Chen Zhuang suddenly gathered his courage and shouted loudly.

"Lu Lei is still resting, and I'm wearing a headset, so she can't hear. Should I, should I give the headset to her?"

Xia Nuannuan's head was buzzing from the noise, and she hurriedly suggested.

"Ah? No, no, no, never mind."

Chen Zhuang immediately lost his nerve again.

"Nuan Nuan, don't mind him, we need to communicate."

Qin Tian said with a laugh.

He understood Xia Nuannuan's true skill level the best.

Without his guidance, she would drop from Gold to Bronze in an instant.

"Alright!"

Xia Nuannuan replied.

"Nuan Nuan, what's wrong?"

Shen Siqi asked in surprise.

"This... that..."

Xia Nuannuan stammered, not knowing whether she should say it.

"What is it? You're acting weird."

"It's just that Chen Zhuang wants to teach you how to play this game!"

"He wants to teach me? Is he very good?"

Shen Siqi asked doubtfully.

At this moment, Chen Zhuang, who had selected his signature hero, Stone Man, subconsciously straightened his burly frame.

"That... he's decent, I guess!"

Xia Nuannuan answered with a somewhat reluctant tone.

Chen Zhuang felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his spirit collapsed by more than half, and he opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.

"So reluctant? How good is he, really?"

"This game has ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond... the higher the rank, the better you are. Qin Tian and I are both Gold right now, and Chen Zhuang is Silver. He's okay, I guess!"

"Then his rank isn't even as high as yours. What kind of 'good' is that? I'd rather have you teach me!"

"Oh, no, I'm just average too, hee hee hee..."

Listening to the exchange between the two girls in the headset, Qin Tian had a hard time holding back his laughter.

"Brother Zhuang? What's wrong? What are they saying?"

Seeing his expression, Cao Mingliang was filled with curiosity and wanted to know what the two girls on the other end were talking about.

However, Chen Zhuang was sitting much higher than him, so there was no help for it; he could only stand up and tilt his head to listen to the sound in the headphones.

"Nothing, sit down!"

Chen Zhuang turned his head and glanced at him.

"Let me listen, I'll give you some ideas!"

Cao Mingliang grinned and winked.

"Sit down!"

Chen Zhuang raised his fan-like right hand, placed it on his shoulder, and with a slight force, easily pressed Cao Mingliang back into his chair.

Zhuang Zhe also moved his chair and quietly came to sit beside Qin Tian, giving Qin Tian a start.

"A-Zhe, don't walk without making a sound; you'll scare someone to death."

Qin Tian said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Sorry, I'm used to it."

Zhuang Zhe smiled apologetically.

"Interested in this game?"

Qin Tian asked with a smile.

Zhuang Zhe nodded.

"Then I'll teach you the basics of this game while I play. Anyway, I definitely understand more than a certain Silver master."

Qin Tian looked at Chen Zhuang with a mischievous smile, deliberately emphasizing the words "Silver master."

Chen Zhuang's face turned red, and he turned his head in shame and annoyance, saying: "I want to see if you guys are really Gold. Don't get your bot lane crushed!"

"Don't worry, if anyone gets crushed, it'll be the other side!"

Qin Tian smiled confidently.

"Tch..."

Chen Zhuang curled his lips in disbelief.

Twenty minutes later, the five people on the opposing team, who had long been arguing and infighting, looked at their own shattered bot lane high ground and voted unanimously to surrender.

The mid and top lanes were still laning, and neither side's first tower had fallen.

It was like two sects fighting; a group of rookies had fought a hundred rounds, their moves looked impressive, and their strength was evenly matched.

As a result, the rookies who were enjoying their sparring turned around to look and saw that two people had already killed their way into the other sect's ancestral hall.

Of the ten people, whether they won or lost, except for Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan, none of them had any sense of gaming experience.

Chen Zhuang stared at the computer screen, dumbfounded, and remained silent for a long time.

"Nuan Nuan, you guys are so amazing. Did the other side surrender?"

In the headset came Shen Siqi's surprised voice.

"Yeah, the bot lane on the other side gave up resisting, and the jungler stopped coming too. It wasn't interesting after that."

Xia Nuannuan answered with the tone of a lonely expert.

"What hero is this of yours? It's so strong!"

"This is called Star Child, Soraka, also known as the 'nanny'. It's alright, mostly because Tian Ge is amazing; I just followed along and healed, and we won."

"Nanny?"

Shen Siqi, who was sitting next to Xia Nuannuan, had a strange expression. Her gaze slowly shifted downward, and a thought suddenly occurred to her.

Could it be...

Does playing this game come with talent bonuses?

Xia Nuannuan blinked her big, innocent eyes, looked down following her gaze, and immediately covered her chest with both hands, blushing as she complained: "What are you looking at!"

"No, I was just wondering if Qin Tian told you to play this hero."

Shen Siqi said seriously.

"Cough, cough..."

Qin Tian, who had picked up a bottle of mineral water to take a sip, choked directly and almost sprayed water all over the computer.

"Yeah? What about it?"

"Then he really is quite... understanding. You are indeed very well-suited for this hero."

"Siqi!!"

Xia Nuannuan realized what she meant and glared at her, feeling extremely embarrassed. ===== CHAPTER 258 =====
