C145 Seeing Tian Chao Playing the Game to Help Chase His Girlfriend

"Wow, you've got yourself a girlfriend now!"

Lin Dong exclaimed, giving Tian Chao a surprised look while also casting a glance at his legs.

"Don't bother looking, she's a girlfriend in the game," Tian Chao said, gesturing dismissively with his hand. "A couple of days ago, I bragged to this girl that I was a top-tier player, using my smurf account. I didn't expect her to take it seriously and now she wants us to hit the top rank together tonight! But I've only just reached platinum level. I'll be found out the moment we play a match!"

Lin Dong got the picture.

He then asked, puzzled, "Liu and Old Zhou are so good, they've already reached the top rank. Do they really have the skills?"

"Man! At least Liu's platinum rank is higher than mine!" Tian Chao replied with a sense of resignation.

"Dingdong!"

A WeChat notification sounded.

Tian Chao picked up his phone and immediately became tense. "Oh no, the girl messaged me. What do I do now?"

Sweat was beading on his forehead; he was genuinely anxious.

"Hand it over, let me see," Lin Dong said, reaching out.

Tian Chao glared at him. "It's no use giving it to you. You don't play games, and if you don't log on, you'll just give us away!"

"What's all the fuss about?" Lin Dong retorted as he snatched Tian Chao's phone.

He saw a message from a girl named Cute Bao: "I'm online now, just waiting for you to join me (cute)!"

Without hesitation, Lin Dong responded, "Alright, logging on now!"

He then launched the game.

"Hey, Lin, don't screw this up. Your skills are worse than mine; just give it back to me!" Tian Chao pleaded anxiously.

Despite Tian Chao's desperation, Lin Dong wouldn't hand the phone back.

"Why so tense? There are plenty of fish in the sea. If this one gets away, there's a whole forest out there waiting for you," Lin Dong teased with a chuckle.

"Cut the crap. You think everyone can just charm a crowd of campus beauties like you do? A well-fed man doesn't understand the plight of the starving! Hand it over, quick!" Tian Chao insisted once more.

Lin Dong laughed and said, "No way, trust me, I'll make sure you won't be let down!"

After he finished speaking, the game loaded up.

Lin Dong glanced at his account name, "Big Brother Dali," and nearly burst into laughter. Tian Chao's choice of name was hilariously bad!

Tian Chao's cheeks flushed as he explained, "I was just messing around with a name change card. I didn't expect to run out of them after the change. Now I'm stuck with it. Are you sure you can handle this?"

He was still concerned about Lin Dong's gaming skills.

Lin Dong flashed an OK sign, quickly located the account of Cute Baby, and invited him to join the team.

"Big Brother Dali, you're online! Haha, let's get started, I'm so excited!"

"Isn't your platinum account a bit weak?"

"Same as mine. Think we can make it to King tonight?"

Cute Baby bombarded him with messages.

Lin Dong replied confidently, "Relax, leave it to me!"

After responding, he began the matchmaking process and then entered the game.

Lin Dong selected Liu Chan.

Tian Chao watched from the side, growing anxious. "Hey, Lin, don't pick that one. He's such a dud—nothing but high defense and no damage. We're doomed if you play him!"

Lin Dong ignored his comments and locked in his choice.

Cute Baby picked Zhen Ji, while the other three teammates chose Coco, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao.

The game was on!

"Welcome to the King!"

The iconic game prompt sounded, followed by the rallying call of the bugle as all five teammates spawned on the summoning platform.

Tian Chao slapped his forehead in dismay. "This lineup is a guaranteed loss! Lin, you've really done me in this time!"

Normally, gamers know to cover the jungle, mid, top, and bottom lanes for a balanced offense and defense, with a chance of winning. At this point, their team had three junglers vying for resources, leaving only Lin Dong on the bottom lane.

And his offensive capabilities were lacking.

The opposing team, however, was perfectly equipped. King Lanling in the jungle, Zhen Ji in mid, Xiahou Dun on top, and the Ox Demon King on bottom—a flawless setup!

Given the comparison, their defeat seems inevitable!

However, Lin Dong remained unfazed, offering a light chuckle before saying, "That's not necessarily true. Watch how I secure you a Super God Arena VIP performance!"
