At eight o'clock in the evening, the rain was still falling, the drops pattering against the glass window in a disorderly rhythm.
Lin Jing clutched a pillow, curled up in her chair, holding her breath, and stared intently at the iPad in front of her.
It was playing the fifth match of the King of Glory World Championship Finals.
The game had reached its final moments, and the two commentators were shouting excitedly.
"GDT is pushing the high ground nexus tower, HJC's Guan Yu has respawned, and he's gone around to the back."
"HJC's Guan Yu is quite something, he took down GDT's mid laner with a single strike, and almost got the bottom laner too, who narrowly escaped by flashing away."
"GDT only has three people left, and the bottom laner has gone home. Pushing for a win here will be tough, they should retreat."
"Yes, they should retreat... Ah? What happened? How did HJC's mid laner disappear?"
"Brother Kuang, I'm truly sincere towards you..."
Ten minutes into the game, this fellow had been talking non-stop.
Sheng Kuang, playing somewhat casually, made a mistake and his screen went black. Seeing that the other player was still chattering away, he typed four characters and sent them: "0 or 1?"
The other player thought Sheng Kuang was moved by his words, and after a brief, excited silence, shyly replied: "0."
Sheng Kuang's Han Xin had two more seconds until respawn. Too lazy to type, Sheng Kuang casually activated voice chat: "What a coincidence, I'm also 0."

A new book is coming. The discussion forum event will officially launch at midnight on the 30th.
And Sheng Kuang is not 0.
