Those Sweet Times

Chapter 11 Part 2

Xiang Nuan felt that it was such a pity that Chuyan didn’t sing another
song. Instead, he entered the queue for another game.

This time it was an unranked game.

In Kings of Glory, there's two kinds of game modes, unranked normal
matches and ranked games. The former has no effect on rank, the latter,
as the name suggests, is to earn points to move up ranks.

It’s a common practice to play unranked games first to get used to
playing an unfamiliar champion.

Xiang Nuan, this round, briefly got a taste of Zhang Fei’s abilities.

Zhang Fei’s first ability is “Typhoon”, he swings his serpent-headed spear
in a full-circle around himself, knocking back all the surrounding heroes.

The second ability is “s.h.i.+eld”, Zhang Fei can summon a large golden,
semi-transparent wok to cover himself and his teammates. The wok can
absorb damage, sometimes referred to as an “absorption s.h.i.+eld.” For
example, if the player has a 200 point s.h.i.+eld covering him, when the
enemy deals 300 points of damage to him, the player will only suffer
100 points to his health.

The third ability of Zhang Fei is his ultimate, “Metamorphosis.” Upon
activating his ultimate, Zhang Fei will turn from a ugly man into a
grotesque man. Any enemy who saw his face from the front would be
blinded and stunned. Those who saw his visage from the side would
also back away in fear……

That was the extent of Xiang Nuan’s understanding about this champion.
The actual abilities might work somewhat differently from her understanding,
but she got most of it.

Zhang Fei’s ultimate is very powerful, it can be used offensively and
defensively. Furthermore, after his metamorphosis, all of his abilities
changed. The first two abilities were supportive. After he transforms
into his hideous self, both abilities could deal a large amount of damage,
slow down the enemy, and increase his own speed. He would become
most formidable.

However, it wasn’t that easy to get the ultimate. He had to acc.u.mulate
enough fury to metamorphose.

Xiang Nuan was playing this champion for the first time. As a not so
skilled ranked Silver player, her understanding was relatively superficial.
Nonetheless, she could already sense the potential of this champion.

The most obvious effect she found-- --whenever someone was attacking
Chuyan, by using Metamorphosis, she could push the enemy away and
Chuyan could hide behind her!

Alright, everything was perfect, except…...ugly.

After metamorphosis, Xiang Nuan looked at her champion on the
screen and felt her heart bleed.

She said to Chuyan, “I almost want to play with my eyes closed.”

“Don’t mess around.”

Later on, the two played a ranked game, using her ugly Zhang Fei.

Chuyan was still using Sun Shangxiang.

In the past couple days, Chuyan had discovered the beauty of the bushes.
There were several bushes in Kings Valley, some large and some smaller.
Champions could hide inside the bush and see when enemy pa.s.s by.

That was the reason why Chuyan always asked Xiang Nuan to hide inside
the bushes to watch for the enemy. Xiang Nuan thought Chuyan was wasting
her time and it was only because she was kind enough to tolerate it…...She
only realized its value after she watched the professional teams also play
exactly the same way.

Under the protection of Zhang Fei, Chuyan had other goals than just keep a
lookout for the enemy-- --He wanted to play some tricks with the bushes.

After Xiang Nuan earned enough fury, he let her squat down inside a bush
and he…...went on to entice the enemy.

It was pure and simple bait.

A marksman without the protection of his teammates was an easy target.
When Sun Shangxiang exposed herself in front of the enemy, stealing a
monster from the enemy.  The enemy saw this as a great chance to get a
kill. The one who had been fighting the monster was the champion Liu Bei.
Liu Bei noticed that Sun Shangxiang was so close…...he readied his weapon
to strike Sun Shangxiang, without concern that Sun was Liu Bei’s wife.[1]
Domestic violence was about to take place.

Sun Shangxiang rolled and crawled to get away. Liu Bei thought he had
a good chance and chased after Sun. Then……he was stunned by Zhang Fei
who charged out of the bush without warning.

Zhang Fei and Sun Shangxiang began to wail on Liu Bei together.

They did this several times. Though not successful every time, the overall
result was fairly impressive. Interestingly, on the opposing team, in addition
to Liu Bei, there was also his son Liu Chan. However, Liu Chan was a tank
and not easy to kill. Chuyan only got to kill him once.

Xiang Nuan said to Chuyan, “You’re too sleazy, haha.”

Just then, the enemy Liu Chan began cursing at her on the public chat:
The Zhang Fei on the other side is really dirty! The one in the bush is a b.i.t.c.h!

Uhr……

Xiang Nuan thought that it was quite unnecessary to do that.

Besides, it was Chuyan who was the sleazy one. She felt that she was
being treated unfairly.

Liu Chan stopped playing the game and began ranting. He used all sort
of curses to blast Xiang Nuan.

Xiang Nuan knew there were all kinds of people playing the game, but
she was still quite angry at his words. She didn’t want to bring herself down
to the point that she got into a shouting match with the guy, so she could
only sulk over the situation.

Suddenly, Chuyan responded on the public chat.

Chuyan (Sun Shangxiang of our side): Son, mom has no choice but to
tell you the truth.

Chuyan (Sun Shangxiang of our side): Your uncle Zhang Fei is actually
your real father.

Xiang Nuan: “......”

It was the ultimate way to battle with words. Without a single obscenity,
yet his words could infuriate the enemy and also acknowledge the historical
background of the characters.

Xiang Nuan wanted to salute Chuyan!
