"An iron sword?"
Su Hang frowned deeply.
The first item that Wan'er, the Tai Sui, builds is surprisingly a small item that increases physical damage – the Iron Sword, which costs 250 gold!
Is there any significance to the story of Wan'er challenging the iron sword in a one-on-one duel?
Su Hang was completely confused and couldn't figure it out. Wan'er was a burst-type mage whose damage was magic damage, so equipping her with an iron sword would be pointless.
At this point, the text chat interface begins to scroll.
Tai Sui: Cough cough, I have a sliver of hope. I was playing a physical crit build for fun before, and I forgot to change the default build for this 1v1.
Three dark lines appeared on Su Hang's forehead.
Well, it turns out I brought the wrong preset equipment.
Exalted Emperor: Reopening?
Tai Sui: No need, just do it normally.
Since the opponent had no intention of restarting, Su Hang stopped insisting and focused on clearing the minion wave while observing the opponent's positioning and details.
As the saying goes, "small things reveal big things," a player's King of Glory level can often be seen from their most basic positioning habits and attention to detail.
Are they deliberately hiding their talents?
Su Hang felt a sense of unease, because Tai Sui Wan'er's positioning habits and attention to detail were exactly the same as those of Diamond- level player!
It could even be said that Tai Sui Wan'er is the standard Diamond Wan'er.
"They might be putting on a poor show, deliberately trying to lull me into a false sense of security. I can't let my guard down."
Su Hang focused intently, controlling Wan'er to unleash her brush and ink skills, using precise basic attacks to ensure she landed the final blow on every minion.
In contrast, Tai Sui Wan'er's skills were used haphazardly, and her basic attack sequence was chaotic. She would attack the front-line minions one moment and the back-line minions the next. To describe her in one idiom, she was doing whatever she pleased!
"You didn't even manage to finish off a minion?"
Looking at Tai Sui Wan'er, Su Hang was extremely surprised. After a wave of minions, although the opponent had gained full experience from the minion wave, she hadn't managed to last-hit a single minion!
Was it intentional? Or accidental?
Su Hang frowned again. Something was definitely amiss. Perhaps not finishing off the small fry was part of Tai Sui's scheme to further lull him into a false sense of security and lower his guard!
Originally, I planned to fight Tai Sui Wan'er after leveling up to level two, but given that her actions were full of scheming and intrigue, I forcibly suppressed my impulse and postponed the fight!
The second wave of minions converges.
Su Hang continued to diligently clear minion waves, taking the last hits on the minion wave.
Tai Sui Wan'er managed to get the last hit from the minion wave, but not completely; she missed two minion hits and only managed to get one!
In Honor of Kings, last-hitting is a fundamental skill for players. A player who can last-hit perfectly isn't necessarily a pro, but a player who can't last-hit perfectly is definitely a noob!
Su Hang opened the economic panel and muttered to himself, "The economic gap is almost over a hundred percent. What exactly is he planning?"
After clearing two waves of minions, although both were level three, Tai Sui was behind in gold by nearly 100 because Tai Sui missed last-hitting minions!
The third wave of minions converges.
Su Hang stopped studying the Tai Sui strategy and quickly cleared the minion wave. After all, this was about leveling up to level four, and whoever's Wan'er could reach level four first would gain the upper hand!
Five seconds later.
Su Hang Wan'er was the first to reach level four. Tai Sui Wan'er was very decisive; she didn't even bother clearing the minions and immediately retreated back into the tower.
"They're quite cautious."
Su Hang's finger hovered over the first skill; if Tai Sui had reacted even a second slower, he would have used Wan'er's basic combo 2331333 to slam her in the face!
"We can't attack with brute force; we must outsmart them!"
As a burst-type mage, Wan'er, like Daji, enters a period of weakness after unleashing a combo, during which she is no different from a super minion.
If a flying combo doesn't deal full damage and fails to kill Tai Sui Wan'er, and she counterattacks, then it's a net loss!
The fourth wave of minions converges.
Instead of clearing it out, Su Hang controlled Wan'er, using the limit of vision, to detour around the right side of the river in the middle lane, enter the lone clump of grass in front of the gap, and quietly crouch down.
As long as Tai Sui Wan'er dares to leave the tower to clear the lane, he will suddenly attack from the flank and take her down with a basic combo!
Su Hang was confident, a slight smile playing on his lips, "No matter how terrifying your game sense is, you'd never expect me to be lying in ambush in the grass at the right-hand gap!"
Everything is ready, except for Tai Sui Wan'er leaving the tower.
As time ticked by, one of the minions in the middle lane had already died naturally, but there was still no sign of Tai Sui Wan'er.
At this point, the text chat interface begins to scroll.
Tai Sui: Network card, I need to change some data, please pause for a moment.
Exalted Emperor: Okay.
"Blue team requests a pause!"
A pause message appears on the game screen.
Taking advantage of a break, Su Hang opened a brand new can of sugar-free cola.
"Oh, I went to the restroom, my stomach feels much better now." Jiang Sui's cheerful voice came from behind. "Brother, how's the 'Grinding Overlord' assessment going?"
Su Hang took a sip of his sugar-free cola and pointed at the mobile game interface. "I was playing when he said his network was lagging and he needed to pause and adjust the connection."
"Ouch, my stomach's hurting again," came the pained voice of my younger sister, Jiang Sui, from behind. "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom again."
"It hurts again?"
Watching his younger sister's retreating figure, Su Hang wrinkled his nose slightly. "Is eating Wallace really that easy to get diarrhea?"
At this moment.
A message indicating that the game has paused or ended appears on the game screen.
Su Hang put down his cola and quickly picked up his phone.
During the game, when Tai Sui Wan'er emerged from the tower, Su Hang's heart rate soared, and his finger hovered over the first skill button, ready to take to the sky!
"Closer, closer, even closer!"
The opponent was about to enter the skill's range, Su Hang was preparing to take off.
Sudden!
Just then!
Tai Sui Wan'er changed position, threw her second skill, the calligraphy brush, towards the bush where Su Hang Wan'er was, and immediately followed up with her first skill, starting to glide along the ground.
"We've been discovered?"
Su Hang's pupils constricted. Who would have thought that Tai Sui Wan'er not only guessed that he was crouching in the grass, but also accurately predicted his location!
Without the slightest hesitation.
Su Hang immediately activated Flash, passing through the wall and arriving at the bush on the right side of the mid lane. With the opponent initiating the attack, coming out of the bush would undoubtedly be suicide!
The only option is to immediately switch to grass, taking advantage of the fact that grass provides no vision, so that the opponent cannot land 5 hits of aerial damage, and then you can counterattack!
What Su Hang never expected was...
After Tai Sui Wan'er glided along the ground for two short distances, she broke!
"They even predicted my Flash!"
"This is a master!"
Su Hang's eyes were incredibly sharp. Because there was no collision between the first and second skills, even if Tai Sui Wan'er used her fifth skill to fly into the sky, she couldn't kill him instantly.
On the contrary, because they enter a period of skill vacuum and weakness, if they get too close to themselves, they will be counterattacked by Wan'er!
Therefore, the best solution is to halt flight and maintain a safe distance.
After Tai Sui Wan'er severed her sword, she immediately retreated back into the tower.
"As expected, it's just a pretense of sweetness."
Su Hang took a deep breath. Even though no one got a kill, he had been tricked into using Flash, and in this psychological battle with Tai Sui, he had lost!
Through this psychological game, Su Hang finally realized one thing!
This Grinding Overlord's gaming awareness and psychological skills are comparable to those of King-Titled Player, and even come very close to those of the former three vice-captains of the Imperial Crown!
"Finally, an opponent I can unleash my full potential has arrived."
Su Hang's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and his blood boiled with excitement.
"Let's see who gets first blood!"
