A Game with Cipher. Awesome!

Lin Hai sat in his gaming chair, his eyes fixed on the screen, his fingers moving smoothly between the keyboard and mouse.

He chose Garen, the Might of Demacia.

Simple and straightforward controls, a warrior hero.

Although he hadn't played the game for a while, Garen's skill mechanics were already ingrained in his muscle Remembrance.

Q skill: Silence and pursue.

W skill provides damage reduction and protection.

E skill: Whirlwind Slash.

R skill: Ultimate Execution.

However, when Lin Hai actually controlled Garen and stepped into Summoner's Rift, an unprecedented sense of ease and control arose spontaneously.

He keenly realized that this was not due to the accumulation of gaming experience, but rather a transformation of his own essence.

With the improvement of his physical fitness and a deeper understanding of the Path Power, Lin Hai's nerve reaction speed, dynamic visual capture ability, and information processing efficiency have all far surpassed those of ordinary people!

No.

A hundred or a thousand times greater than the average person!

In Lin Hai's eyes, the intense game scenes seemed to be slowed down, with the death of every minion and the starting animation of every hero skill becoming clear and slow.

He can easily calculate the precise damage of each trade, predict the timing of the opponent's key control skills, and even anticipate the enemy jungler's possible gank routes.

This ability to seemingly see through the battle reminded Lin Hai of Observation Haki.

An extraordinary sensory ability that can detect auras and predict actions.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Lin Hai's lips.

In a great mood, he subconsciously reached out and took off Cipher's shoes, holding one of her delicate feet in his hand and gently playing with it.

Cipher's breath hitched, but her attention was immediately drawn back to the intense battle on the screen. She didn't pull her foot back, but a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

She found that she seemed to be enjoying this relaxing way of life, which was full of competitive atmosphere and a sense of companionship.

With Lin Hai's exceptional judgment, his Garen moved across the battlefield as if it were empty.

Each time the Q skill silences, it precisely interrupts the opponent's key combo.

The W skill can always activate damage reduction before burst damage arrives.

The E skill, Judgment, with its spinning blades, always finds the optimal angle to tear apart the enemy formation.

His ultimate skill, Demacian Justice, repeatedly slays low-health enemies with his sword.

Before long, the score was set at an astonishing 20 kills and 0 deaths.

In the game chat box, teammates started spamming the chat.

"What's going on? Is a high-level player stomping a newbie?!"

"That was an amazing play, so skillful!"

"King Garen's king!"

"Want to rank up together in the next game?"

This overwhelming victory also gave Lin Hai an idea:

With my current abilities, how quickly can I reach the highest rank in the Rift?

Just then, Cipher tore open a bag of potato chips, the crisp sound pulling Lin Hai back to reality.

She picked up a piece and held it to Lin Hai's lips.

Lin Hai took the potato chips, savoring their salty flavor, while continuing to control Garen, leading his team to victory.

These moments of companionship and shared simple joys bring him immense satisfaction and contentment.

Cipher tried a few pieces herself; the crispy texture and just-right seasoning made her squint her eyes.

Night had already fallen outside the window.

Cipher sat to the side and watched Lin Hai's gameplay for several rounds.

The intense battles, skillful maneuvers, and the joy of ultimate victory on the screen ignited a eager light in her cat-like eyes.

She gently tugged at Lin Hai's sleeve. "This game... looks interesting. I'd like to try it too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai readily laughed and said, "No problem! Come on, I'll teach you the basic operations and mechanics."

Cipher waved her hand confidently. "No need, after watching for so long, I've almost got it."

"So confident? Come on, you can have my spot."

Lin Hai smiled and stood up from his gaming chair, giving up the main seat.

Cipher sat down in the still-warm gaming chair, took a deep breath, and opened the ranked matchmaking.

She chose to start her first game with a real-world experience.

The hero selection screen lit up, and she locked onto Garen without hesitation.

After all, Lin Hai mainly played this hero in the previous few games.

She knew this hero.

"Actually, you can try other heroes too; there are many options," Lin Hai suggested from the side.

"Let's start with this." Cipher stared intently at the screen, adjusting the key bindings. "Watch me dominate the battlefield!"

Game loading complete.

Cipher piloted Garen into the battlefield.

Although being transported to this time and space temporarily stripped her of most of her powers as a demigod, her astonishing judgment, exceptional athletic ability, and lightning-fast reaction speed, honed through battle, still remained.

Cipher quickly adapted to the rhythm of the Rift, focusing on last-hitting, positioning, and harassing...

It was done quite well.

Before long, she gained an absolute advantage in the laning phase, and even managed to solo kill her opponent thanks to her accurate predictions.

Just as Cipher was fully focused on her operation, Lin Hai approached with a malicious smile.

He first leaned down and kissed her focused cheek, then his hand slid down restlessly and gently grasped her slender, bare feet dangling over the edge of the chair.

The intimate interruption made Cipher, and she couldn't help but gently scold, "Stop it... I'm playing a game!"

However, even with her mind disrupted, she still managed to execute perfect plays in the crucial team fights that followed, thanks to her overwhelming advantage and combat instincts.

He led his team to destroy the enemy's crystal and secured their first victory.

We won!

The word "Victory" popped up on the screen.

Cipher leaped up from the chair, turned around and pounced on Lin Hai like a happy kitten, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his cheek.

"This is so much fun!"

"Playing it myself was even more fun than I imagined!"

"Let's stay here for the next three days."

The sky outside the window had completely darkened, and the city's neon lights shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Lin Hai put his arm around her waist and looked down at the bright, excited eyes of the woman in his arms.

"The game's over, and it's getting dark... How about we play another round?"

Cipher paused slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her cat-like pupils. She quickly grasped the deeper meaning in his words, her cheeks flushing even more, her voice barely audible:

"Start a game? Isn't that... a bit too fast?"

"Happiness comes first, doesn't it?"

Lin Hai smiled and asked in return, his fingertips gently brushing through her hair.

Cipher looked up at him, her shyness gradually replaced by boldness and anticipation, and she smiled sweetly.

"Yes... you're right, happiness should be the most important thing."

Before she finished speaking, she nimbly leaped forward, as agile as a real cat, and reached out to press the switch on the wall.

A soft snap.

The room was shrouded in darkness.

Only the faint light from the computer screen illuminated two figures gradually approaching each other.
