The Inescapable Celibate Heir Chapter 154: Meeting in the Game

Jasmine felt pretty proud inside, but she modestly said, "It's no big deal. I haven't played in a while. Just playing for fun."

Vivian had already opened Jasmine's account and saw that she had skins for all the heroes. 

She exclaimed, "Whoa, Jasmine, you're awesome! You got all the skins. Do you know how to play all these heroes? I can only play support."

Jasmine replied casually, "They were cheap, so I bought them all. I usually play marksman and jungle, but I can handle other roles too."

As they chatted, they formed a team and started the game. They were a trio, with the remaining two teammates being randomly matched. 

Meanwhile, Victoria had just finished a game and clicked on random match. In these low-level games, she didn't care about her teammates; she could win easily. 

Once everyone had chosen their positions, Victoria automatically filled in as mid-lane. She quickly picked a hero that developed fast early on and could solo kill opponents.

On the opposing team, Jasmine was playing jungle, Ella was mid-lane, and Vivian used voice chat to ask her teammates to let her play support. 

As the game started, Ella noticed the enemy mid-laner was using the default skin and couldn't help but laugh and mock, "Look at the enemy mid-laner, can't even afford a skin. So poor, why even play this game?" 

She saw the opponent's rank was low too, clearly a poor and weak player, thinking she might perform well this game.

Jasmine had been playing this game for a long time and bought every new skin without even looking at the price. 

Ella had bought her account directly, which also had all the skins. She hadn't played this game before but bought the account recently to play with Jasmine. 

Vivian wasn't as wealthy as them, but she had a few skins for the heroes she often used. 

She checked the enemy mid-laner's account and laughed loudly, "This 'YwnLegend' is hilarious, such a cocky name, but the account is so poor."

The ID "YwnLegend" belonged to Victoria. 

Since she hadn't played for two years, her old skins had expired. She was busy familiarizing herself with the new heroes and skills, not bothering to browse skins. 

Besides, winning in games depended on skill, not skins; skins were just for show.

While waiting for the game to start, Victoria took another bite of her cake. It tasted good; she'd ask the chef to make it again tomorrow. 

As the game began, Victoria quickly put her fork down and focused on playing. 

She hadn't expected that the hero had undergone significant changes in the past two years, with its early-game advantage nerfed and skills modified. 

Victoria struggled initially, falling behind Ella in farming. Ella, feeling triumphant, laughed and mocked Victoria to her teammates, "The enemy mid-laner is really dumb, terrible at farming. Watch me beat them!"

Ella wasn't satisfied with just mocking among her teammates; she spent money on a speaker item to taunt in the public channel: [Does your mom know you're this bad at games? Stop hiding and come out to face my ultimate!]

Victoria licked the cream off her lips, savoring the sweet and sour taste, her eyes narrowing as she looked at the opponent's ID, "Smile." 

She found it annoying, and the words were even more irritating. She wouldn't let the opponent stay smug for long. 

Earlier, her ultimate was on cooldown, so she couldn't fight back and had to retreat with low health. 

Now, she was familiar with the new skill parameters and knew that her hero should focus on farming early on and engage in direct combat mid-game. 

Ignoring the opponent's taunts, she concentrated on farming and took a jungle buff. 

Once she was developed, she ambushed in the bushes, and as soon as the opponent showed up, she unleashed a combo of ultimates.

Ella was stunned, unable to dodge in time, taking all the damage and getting killed, sent back to base. 

Furious, Ella typed in the public chat: [How can the enemy mid-laner be so sneaky, ambushing me! Do you even know how to play?]

Victoria replied with a calm "Nice try." 

Her composed attitude infuriated Ella, who screamed in frustration. Ella rushed out of the tower, searching for "YwnLegend." 

Meanwhile, Victoria had already moved to the top lane to assist, helping her teammate in the jungle and securing a kill on the enemy jungler.

Jasmine slammed her mouse down, "Be careful, the enemy mid-laner may have a low rank, but they're definitely not a newbie." 

The opponent's movements were clearly more aware than hers, and Jasmine couldn't dodge her attacks. "And Vivian, why didn't you heal me earlier?"

Vivian smiled apologetically, "Sorry, Jasmine, their firepower was too strong, I couldn't target you with my skills."

Ella gritted her teeth, "Hmph, they're just sneaky, hiding in the bushes to ambush!"

Jasmine sighed, "Forget it, just stick close to me. Heal me as soon as my health drops to half. Even if I die and return to base, as long as I deal enough damage, it's fine." 

Vivian nodded, realizing Jasmine couldn't see her, quickly added, "Got it, Jasmine." 

With Vivian's support, Jasmine secured a Dragon. But Victoria and the jungler teamed up to take Baron.

Ella was nearly killed by "YwnLegend" as soon as she showed up, dying three times in just ten minutes, leaving her psychologically scarred. 

She walked cautiously, constantly checking bushes, afraid "YwnLegend" was hiding to kill her. She couldn't even clear her own minions, let alone support others. 

Meanwhile, Victoria not only cleared her minions but also assisted everywhere, securing five kills and seven assists.
