"You can play by following my instructions for now. Once you're more skilled, you can play on your own."

Upon hearing Mo Yi's words, Kiana also became serious, feeling immense pressure. She dared not do anything rash, as this concerned Mo Yi's cultivation, and she didn't want to let his previous efforts go to waste.

Well, she couldn't think of any major consequences. Would Mo Yi dare to hit her or kick her out?

Anyway, she doesn't want it to be like this.

Then, while being fed by Mei, Mo Yi directed Kiana to play the game.

After testing for a period of time, Mo Yi discovered that this game could indeed be played by someone else.

Mei to the side, was also watching the game screen with great curiosity.

Mei used to have no interest in games at all, probably because of Raiden Ryoma's education of her. Elite education can give people a head start, but it also makes them lose a lot of things, such as the game time that ordinary people have.

But now that she hears that Mo Yi's ability is actually related to playing games, Miss Mei aspires to be Mo Yi's virtuous wife, naturally changes her attitude towards games.

A good wife not only takes good care of her husband in daily life, but also helps him in his career, so that he will not be able to live without her.

After feeding her, Miss Mei sat down next to Kiana and watched Kiana play.

Miss Mei: "..."

Kiana, I can't let you monopolize this great opportunity to gain my favor. If I get serious and face you head-on with my skills, I refuse to believe that I, the Queen Mei, will lose!

The one who will win in the end must be— Queen, it's me, Raiden Mei!

Seeing that Miss Mei was also interested, Mo Yi was even happier and more relieved, after all, Mei was much more reliable Kiana.

Playing games well is not an easy task. Farming strategy games like Pokémon don't require fancy hand speed; they require time, dedication, and intelligence.

At this moment Miss Mei pulled out a small notebook from somewhere, and while watching Kiana play, she asked Mo Yi questions and wrote them down in the notebook.

Mo Yi was very patient, explaining what he knew to Miss Mei. Compared to the unreliable Kiana, Miss Mei seemed like a serious and reliable Top Student.

Kiana was having a lot of fun despite following Mo Yi's instructions, was unaware that her time to play handheld games was running out.

PS: Chapter 57, Mei Chapter 1.2: "What is it?" Mo Yi asked curiously. "If I can, I will definitely help." Mo Yi wasn't that stupid. The other person had already said it was a request out of politeness. If he agreed without understanding the situation, what if the other person said they wanted to borrow his money for a quick fix? Wouldn't Mo Yi look ridiculous? "Mo Yi, the dinner you made last time was the most delicious meal I've ever eaten—" Mei had already thought of a perfect plan so that no one could cause trouble. She said, "So I would like to ask you for your guidance. I wonder if you have time to teach me how to cook." Mei: Hmph, this way I can get most of Mo Yi's free time and the opportunity to spend time alone with him. Everything is under my control Raiden Mei. "No problem—" This was indeed not a problem. Besides, Raiden Mei and (real) Kiana were the ones cooking now. Helping the other improve their cooking skills would ultimately benefit him. While eavesdropping in her room, Shin Kiana clenched her fists and muttered, "You've got some nerve, Raiden Mei, to think of attacking like this." At this moment, True Kiana was already imagining all sorts of scenes, such as a naked apron or something.

Chapter 166: European Queen Na, African Clothes

At this moment, Mo Yi was playing Kiana Kiana in his left hand and Mei Pikachu studying hard in his right. Before he knew it, several hours had passed. This was probably what was called having both arms around each other (pseudo). Mo Yi's weakened state had also long since been lifted.

Although time was enjoyable, some things also left Mo Yi speechless.

For example, after Mo Yi and Miss Mei discussed the combinations of various moves, such as the status-based move "Hypnotic Powder," they realized that the success of the move required probability assessment.

Kiana's Butterfly, with its control over her, can put enemies to sleep with every attack it releases, such as sleep powder. Even its normal attacks often deliver Critical Hits.

Skills that require luck to judge become active skills in Kiana's hands, almost always hitting the target.

To this, Mo Yi could only say that it wasn't like this when he played it before!

Mo Yi's luck was neither good nor bad. When he used skills with status effects, he would only get hit occasionally, which was in line with the probability set in the game.

Unlike Kiana, who can almost always pull off effects that require luck, especially when using skills like "Finger Shake" which rely heavily on luck, she almost always manages to unleash ultimate moves like "Hyper Beam," "Giga Impact," and "Solar Beam," and even occasionally pulls out exclusive special moves like "Holy Fire" and "Time Roar" that belong to legendary Pokémon.

(Finger wag - a Pokémon. By shaking your finger, you can randomly unleash an unknown move, even if the Pokemon using the finger wag doesn't actually know how to do it. It's a fun move because Pokémon have a wide variety of moves, and in most cases, you'll end up with a move that's not suitable for your type, often wasting a turn. Of course, you might also unleash a powerful move.)

Am I just incredibly unlucky?!

Then Mo Yi discovered that it wasn't actually like that.

After Kiana had been playing for a while, Miss Mei took over. Miss Mei, who was very serious about learning and thinking, played quite well without needing Mo Yi's instructions.

On his first time playing, he understood attribute advantages and disadvantages, and based on the differences in attack and defense between the two sides, he could decide whether to use physical or special attack moves. Mo Yi couldn't see any problems with that.

However, her Pokemon rarely made the correct judgments when using moves that required luck.

For example, the Pikachu under her control rarely inflicts paralysis. As for Kiana's ability to land a Critical Hit with just two hits, that's not the case with Miss Mei at all. In fact, Mo Yi hasn't seen her land a Critical Hit in a long time.

As for the "finger-shaking" skill that Kiana uses, Mo Yi saw her shake her Miss Mei's face turn black. Playing with Kiana was like playing two completely different games.

Well, at this point, Mo Yi finally saw through the problem. Kiana was a European with the power of being a lucky person, while Miss Mei was an African chieftain with an extremely bad face.

As for Mo Yi, he is an average player, neither particularly lucky nor unlucky, and his skill level is normal.

Miss Mei quickly realized the truth that she was African, and then completely ignored Kiana's clamoring beside her.

Why?

Because Kiana always says things like, "Mei uses 'finger wag,' I think that skill is so powerful," or other skills that require luck to unleash an explosive effect.

Mei: You damn Kiana, I don't care what you think, I care what I think! (Mei's inner 'finger wag' = 'water splash leap')

Miss Mei progressed through the game, she completely abandoned luck-based moves and only used skills with fixed damage.

If that could only be considered a coincidence, then the fact that Kiana encountered the Pokémon Pokémon 'Ho-Oh', the first photographer of Pokémon, right after leaving the starting village, and then encountered 'Mew' again after playing for half an hour, is enough to prove that Kiana is a woman with the power of being incredibly lucky.

What's even more outrageous is that Kiana managed to escape every time, and neither Phoenix nor Mew directly attacked Kiana.

In the Little World Game, the Pokémon Pokémon are not only extremely powerful, but they also appear randomly on the map, unlike in the normal version where they wait for Mo Yi to conquer them in a specific cave.

After Mo Yi's explanation, Kiana and Miss Mei finally understood what the 'divine beasts' in the game really meant. Besides being incredibly powerful, they were also extremely rare to encounter. Unless a specific storyline was triggered, the probability of encountering one in the wild was as small as finding a hundred dollars on the street.

Mo Yi later recalled Kiana from Honkai Impact 3rd, who indeed had the so-called "lucky" setting. While others went to Yae Village to pick up trash, Kiana went to pick up divine artifacts. She was a lucky person who could find a Divine Key "Jizo Mitama" and bring it back to her dormitory while wandering around the St. Freya Academy.

As for Miss Mei, the game doesn't seem to have any "African" (unlucky) mechanics, but watching her play, Mo Yi felt inexplicably heartbroken. Although her awareness and strategy were not much worse than Mo Yi's, a veteran player, she still had a very hard time. She would be blocked by a Caterpie or attacked by a Beedrill after taking only a few steps, and they were all Pokemon with trash attributes, so it was a waste of effort to fight them.

Mo Yi looked at Miss Mei, who was playing Pokémon and was sweating profusely, and almost felt heartbroken and shed tears.

Miss Mei heartache. "..."

Is this Schicksal?

Kiana, even if Schicksal is on your side, I, Raiden Mei, will defy destiny!

"Mei, why don't you let Kiana play for a while? You look pretty tired—"

Looking at Raiden Mei, whose face was expressionless and whose forehead was sweating, as if she were engaged in a life-or-death battle, Mo Yi felt sorry for her and suggested, "Kiana has been watching for a long time."

"Uh-huh--"

When Miss Mei heard what Mo Yi said, she stopped playing, since Kiana had been looking at her with great anticipation for a long time.
