Well-maintained fingers tapped on the keyboard, Chen Bin swiftly switched through his usual dozen keys, the mouse constantly changing direction, the S key pressed rhythmically to stop the current action and change the attack and defense rhythm of Tian Luo Jin Yu, adjusting his positioning and confusing the opponent's judgment.
With a set of overwhelming equipment, combined with Chen Bin's clear thinking and exquisite operation, there was no surprise as one "perfect victory" after another popped up, with an average match time of less than twenty seconds.
However, Chen Bin was not tired of it, and casually clicked on the next invitation, re-entering the ladder free match.
"Chu Lan just called me, saying you transferred your account to her." Lan Bai sat beside him, holding a cup of tea, leisurely watching Chen Bin perform a critical hit judgment followed by a knockdown judgment, then unleashing a barrage of skills like a storm.
Another perfect victory, in twelve seconds.
Chen Bin twisted his neck and smiled, "Yeah."
"Didn't you set the price too low? Not to mention the endorsement value of Tian Luo Jin Yu, just the equipment alone is worth over a million." Lan Bai's eyelids twitched as he saw another match start on the screen.
"Am I as stupid as you think?" Chen Bin rolled his eyes while operating.
"You really don't look smart at all..." Lan Bai looked at him with a sense of intellectual superiority.
"The price is because of certain conditions." Chen Bin shrugged.
"What conditions?" Lan Bai suddenly narrowed his eyes, staring at the screen.
"The Long Yin team bought this account, and it can't be traded again..." Chen Bin's words were cut off as he suddenly shouted, "Damn."
On the screen, Tian Luo Jin Yu was locked by a 75th-level Wu Dang's ultimate skill, "Death Finger."
In "Sword Battle," Wu Dang is a typical damage-dealing class.
Jian Wu Dang relies on stacking normal attacks to form damage, with agility as the main attribute, possessing extremely high attack speed and normal attack power.
Qi Wu Dang, on the other hand, relies on skills, with spirit as the main attribute. Normal attacks do little damage, but the skill damage is extremely high.
Although Chen Bin's health was still full, this didn't mean he wanted to take the hit, because as long as the opponent inflicted any damage, no matter how small, the match result would be just "victory," not "perfect victory."
His fingers rapidly pressed several keys, and a countdown sounded from the speakers. 3.75 seconds later, a ghost form emerged 0.05 seconds before "Death Finger" landed on Tian Luo Jin Yu.
The Qi Wu Dang player couldn't retract the move in time.
The red light of "Death Finger" flashed in the sky, whistling down towards Tian Luo Jin Yu... or rather, its phantom.
Seeing the red light miss, Lan Bai pounded his chest, "Damn! Do you have any integrity? He's your fan, how hard is it to lock you down? How excited must he be? You won't die from taking one ultimate skill!"
Chen Bin pursed his lips and gave him a sidelong glance, "Isn't it just a habit to operate when the character is locked?"
"Why didn't you just use forced stealth? Why use ghost form to trick his skill? How sad for him?" Lan Bai looked at the Qi Wu Dang player on the screen with a pained expression.
From level one to eighty, the Tang Men class learns three stealth skills: ghost form, shadow evasion, and forced stealth.
Among these, ghost form is the one with the longest continuous stealth duration. Once activated, it can last for thirty minutes without cancellation, but entering stealth is a gradual process that takes 3.75 seconds, during which damage can still be taken.
Shadow evasion is the second longest stealth skill, entering stealth in just 1.5 seconds, but it can be detected by a paid item called "Revealing Dust," commonly known as being "lit up," so it is usually used before combat, not during.
Finally, forced stealth has no gradual process, entering stealth immediately upon activation, but it only lasts for ten seconds.
If Chen Bin had used forced stealth to enter stealth directly instead of switching to ghost form and waiting 3.75 seconds, the Qi Wu Dang player would have had time to retract the move, and the ultimate skill wouldn't have been wasted and entered cooldown.
However, tricking the opponent's skill is an instinctive reaction for every professional player, and Chen Bin had just operated subconsciously...
"Boring, I'm not watching anymore."
Lan Bai watched Chen Bin circle around, start, and execute a combo, swiftly ending the match, feeling a bit disinterested.
Chen Bin didn't pause for a second, clicking on the next invitation, "I didn't invite you to watch."
"I let you in because you looked normal, but now you're acting weird. Tsk, tsk, you actually need to vent, the world must be upside down..." Lan Bai refilled his teacup and sat back at his own computer.
"I'm a normal man." Chen Bin didn't even turn his head, starting the next match, "Of course, I need to vent."
"Damn, do you have to be so righteous about it?"
"Or what? This account won't belong to me tomorrow."
"..." Lan Bai choked on his tea.
In the upper right corner of Chen Bin's computer screen, the "Pending Invitations" had already accumulated to over 1,600.
And he was still accepting these invitations at a rate of one every twenty seconds, enjoying it immensely.
"Why did you sell the account to Long Yin?" Lan Bai pushed his glasses up, "That weak team with only money and no players, buying the account is just for show."
"Are you afraid I'll record this and play it for Chu Lan?" Chen Bin raised an eyebrow.
"Come on, you wouldn't do something so troublesome, you're not Chen Bin." Lan Bai was certain he wouldn't do it.
Chen Bin held the mouse in one hand and casually grabbed the cigarette Lan Bai had left on the table, lighting one.
An hour later.
Chen Bin had played countless matches, but the "Pending Invitations" in the upper right corner not only hadn't decreased, but had skyrocketed from over 1,600 to over 3,000.
Normally, let alone Tian Luo Jin Yu, even the top 100 ranked accounts in the ladder wouldn't appear in the free match.
Because these accounts are either professional players or substitutes for the second team, at most they just play for points, and the free match is a complete waste of time for them.
"Hey, can you stop? Have you vented enough? I can't even watch anymore..."
"Huh? Weren't you not watching just now?" Chen Bin looked at Lan Bai, who had come over again, in surprise.
Lan Bai rolled his eyes.
Watching Chen Bin dominate wasn't the issue, but the key was that the players being dominated all looked excited, and there was a long queue of people waiting to be dominated.
What a mess.
"Can you stop now..." Lan Bai impatiently knocked on Chen Bin's desk.
"Wait a bit, just a little longer. Yeah, I haven't vented enough yet." Chen Bin shook his head decisively.
"You're shameless!" Lan Bai cursed.
"Is this the first time you're finding out?" Chen Bin's face remained calm as he continued to the next match.
Lan Bai opened his mouth to say something but ultimately said nothing.
After another dozen matches, Lan Bai retreated, placing a room key and an unopened account card on Chen Bin's desk, then shut down his own computer and left the room alone.
