Since Magical Cat Yuumi is a typical support, Mo Yi couldn't just play support in the mid or top lane in the King tier. Thus, Mo Yi's support journey for the new day began.

The world Mo Yi was in didn't have the game Honor of Kings. He didn't know if the 'Little World Game' had connected Mo Yi to that world's network. Regardless, Mo Yi was playing games with people from other worlds. Thinking about it was quite fantastical.

As soon as Mo Yi's account, 'Qi Mu Wu Wu Kai,' came online, a friend immediately messaged him to team up.

It's important to remember that Honor of Kings is a 5v5 team game. While you could carry the entire game alone in Bronze, Silver, or Gold ranks, in King tier, if your four teammates decide to throw, even a Buddha would be beaten and forced to call someone 'dad'.

Especially since Mo Yi didn't just play games for entertainment; he aimed to secure MVP. Therefore, victory was a prerequisite. Finding suitable teammates to play with was quite necessary.

Especially now, playing a typical support hero like Magical Cat Yuumi, if the teammates are bad, no matter how skilled the support is, they'll eventually fall victim to cruel reality.

"Ding ding—"

Mo Yi clicked on the instant message. It was indeed from his last best friend, 'World's Number One Princess,' who was online almost twenty-four hours a day.

Why him and not her?

Isn't that easy to understand?

What girl in this world plays games and reaches King tier? Especially one who is online twenty-four hours a day. It's even more impossible. Even if it were a girl, she would probably become a 'Qi Bi Luo Princess' from staying up late playing games for so long.

Thinking about it, Mo Yi felt it was better if the other party was a boy. At least, the other party wouldn't fall in love with him because of his flashy positioning and damage, his sharp killing techniques, and his never-give-up competitive spirit.

World's Number One Princess: "You there? Wanna play a game?"

Qi Mu Wu Wu Kai: "Sure, I'll support today."

World's Number One Princess: "Then I'll ADC. Please don't sell me again. This princess has a temper. I'm about to find your IP address. Be careful, I'll send a bomb to your house."

Qi Mu Wu Wu Kai: (Slippery smile emoji) "Does supporting count as selling? It's called sacrificing the ADC. It's all for the ultimate victory. Don't worry, the organization won't forget the blood and sweat you've shed. Also, why are you still showing off your hacker skills? I told you I'm not from Earth, I'm from another world. Even if your hacking skills can penetrate the US's SHIELD, you won't find my old home, Old Master Qi Mu. Give up, Onion Girl."

World's Number One Princess, isn't that Hatsune Miku, who likes to sing 'Ievan Polkka'?

Mo Yi still had this basic knowledge of the anime world.

World's Number One Princess: "Go to hell! I already told you I'm not some green-haired twin-tailed diva! And I've told you several times, I'm not from Earth either, I'm from the Moon. Even if you're from another world, you can't escape the advanced technology of us Lunarians."

Qi Mu Wu Wu Kai: "Then is your NP full today, great hero? Or do you still have enough elbows, King of Heroes?"

World's Number One Princess: "Are you a devil?"

After some idle boasting, the two matched and successfully entered the game loading screen.

Then, Mo Yi instantly picked Magical Cat Yuumi to support, while Onion Girl instantly picked Teemo the Swift Scout for ADC. She even equipped the Demon King Skin. It seemed like others wouldn't know she came from a wealthy family and was a skin-obsessed player.

Unlike Mo Yi, who was so low-key, never spending money in games and pursuing the most essential competitive fun of the game. (By the way, does Riot Games support cross-world top-ups?)

Seeing the other party make another random pick, Mo Yi knew this game would likely be another loss, unless he could unleash his full potential.

It's worth noting that Qi Mu Wu Wu Kai was a well-known King of Random Players in Honor of Kings. He had been playing since the game first launched, truly an ancient legend, and one of the original Three Illusory Gods in the King tier.

If others played games like Mo Yi, treating it as a profession, they might also achieve this. However, if they were to play professionally, they wouldn't linger in casual lobbies for long but would instead participate in professional competitions.

And so, the morning's work time passed. When Mo Yi came back to his senses, it was already lunchtime.

After saying goodbye to Onion Girl and logging off, Mo Yi opened the refrigerator and found there wasn't much food left. So, he decided to go out and buy some ingredients from a nearby supermarket.

As Mo Yi got dressed and opened the door, he found a white mass blocking his doorway. Wasn't this Kiana, who he thought should have left?

Mo Yi's opening of the door also startled Kiana, who was sitting on the stone steps outside his house, out of her daze. She turned to look at Mo Yi.

Thus, their gazes met, one looking up and the other down.

Mo Yi knew, with a confirmed glance, that the other person was indeed Kiana Kaslana.

Chapter 5: Kiana: Mission Accomplished!

Mo Yi, whose eyes met Kiana's, was stunned for a moment. His mood became somewhat complicated; it was definitely not the feeling of 'meeting the right person.'

With her sitting at his doorstep, he should say something now, but what?

'What a coincidence, meeting you here?'

Right at his doorstep, opening the door to see her, could it be any more coincidental?

The most common greeting among Chinese people, 'Have you eaten?'

Clearly, the other party had been waiting there the whole time, so needless to say, she hadn't eaten.

'The wind is a bit noisy today.'

This kind of literary greeting would probably be incomprehensible to Kiana.

Directly telling her, 'Miss Kiana, you're blocking my doorway, could you please move?'

That would be too impolite.

So, Mo Yi just stood there, making eye contact with Kiana. Her eyes seemed to speak, constantly accusing Mo Yi of his wrongdoings. Although Mo Yi didn't think he had done anything to warrant such strong resentment from her, enough to block his doorway.

After a full ten seconds, he said somewhat awkwardly:

"Yo, good afternoon, Kiana."

Mo Yi waved his hand awkwardly:

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. See you later."

With that, he intended to walk past her and go about his business.

"Hmph—"

Kiana snorted in dissatisfaction after hearing that, then continued to sit down, guarding the entrance to Mo Yi's home and fiercely tearing apart the wild grass stems she'd plucked from nearby.

After walking several steps and realizing the other party truly hadn't called out to stop her or chased after her, Mo Yi couldn't help but look back. He found that she was still in the same state.

What words would be suitable to describe this?

The word 'loser' popped into Mo Yi's mind.

Even though Kiana had twin ponytails, she wasn't blonde or flat-chested. Why did he feel like she resembled a stray, homeless loser?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mo Yi still walked back.

Kiana suddenly felt something blocking her view. She looked up and saw it was the detestable landlord who had left and then returned. Since he wasn't willing to rent her a place anyway, Kiana saw no need to butter him up. She said irritably, "What do you want?"
