Huahai winked and said, " Yinuo, the job of catching ghost players should be left to Menglei, after all, he's Phantom Hunter."
"Huh?" Yinuo's face darkened.
"Many expert players who have been matched with Ghost Match have summarized some tips for getting matched with Ghost Match." Fly took out his phone and browsed the King of Glory forum, "Item 1: King of Glory ranked matches start at midnight."
"Secondly, there must be a sacrifice for the Ghost Match, preferably an unopened can of sugar-free cola."
"Rule number 3: Qiancheng praise the Ghost Match player Imperial Emperor will inevitably appear in Ghost matches, for example: [XX Loyal Imperial Emperor ]!"
"This ritual sounds like a shamanistic ritual," Huahai said, getting chills. "Seriously, does doing this really get you matched with Ghost Match?"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Fly grinned, pulling out a can of sugar-free cola he had prepared beforehand from his pocket.
" A Zhen, are you serious?" Huahai was speechless.
" Brother Hai, I think we can give it a try," Yinuo shrugged. "Anyway, they're going to the hospital to have Imperial Crown blood drawn, and we're just killing time anyway, so why not have some fun?"
"You definitely won't get a turn."
Huahai scoffed, "They say the odds of getting matched with Ghost Match online are less than one in a billion. If we had that kind of luck, we'd have won the lottery and become millionaires long ago. Why would we risk our lives streaming and playing professionally?"
"Timmy!"
When Fly logged into Honor of Kings, he wasn't logging into the Chongqing Wolves' Fly account, which had professional certification, but rather the [ Chou Ox · Baili ] game account from the Imperial Crown Team.
Huahai was slightly shocked. "I'm so impressed! I knew Imperial Crown's Chou Ox's playing style was so similar to yours, Fly. So you're Chou Ox!"
Yinuo asked with a face full of curiosity, "Speaking of which, Brother Niu, why did you join a small team like Imperial Crown under your own name?"
"The name ' Imperial Crown ' sounds familiar." Fly smiled slightly. He felt a strange sense of familiarity and closeness with the Imperial Crown Team, so he rejected offers from other top amateur teams and joined Imperial Crown instead.
Yinuo pressed further, "Did you reveal your identity to them?"
"No," Fly shook his head. "I did consider revealing my identity, but I am, after all, a super popular player in the KPL with a high status. If I interact with them as Fly, they will definitely be very reserved."
Yinuo suddenly realized, "I see."
Fly took a deep breath. "Account ready."
Huahai and Yinuo couldn't help but feel nervous.
Fly looked up at the clock; there were ten seconds left until midnight. He placed the sugar-free cola next to his phone, clenched his fist, and prayed Qiancheng, " Chou Ox, Loyal Imperial Emperor!"
Thump~
The clock struck midnight.
Almost simultaneously, Fly immediately clicked on the Glory King rank challenge match, and a few seconds later, he was matched into a ranked game.
"Did it work?" Yinuo asked, peeking out.
"The matchmaking screen is still the current King of Glory Season 41 version, so it must have failed." Huahai breathed a sigh of relief and spread his hands, saying, "I knew it, how could we possibly be matched with Ghost Match?"
The next second, a familiar background sound from a classic King of Glory rang out.
"Success!" Fly's pupils dilated in shock.
Yinuo's mouth dropped open, her face filled with disbelief. "It... it actually succeeded?"
"We've been Ghost Match?" Huahai hurriedly leaned over to check, and when he saw the rather "ancient" ranked hero selection interface and many of the original King of Glory heroes with their original art style, he was shocked.
"It's definitely Ghost Match." Fly's eyes gleamed with excitement, his fingers trembling. "This only disables one hero's ranked interface and the icon of heroes with revealing clothing, bringing back memories of the 2015 King of Glory Season 1."
"Holy crap? That's awesome." Huahai swallowed hard. He never expected to witness Ghost Match with a one in a billion chance!
"Where is the Ghost Player Imperial Emperor?"
He's on the fifth floor!
Fly's gaze fell on the fifth-floor player [ Imperial Emperor ]. According to the summary and description of the expert players who had been matched with Ghost Match players, in any Ghost Match, there will definitely be a ghost player named Imperial Emperor, either on the same team or on the opposite side.
They were lucky enough to be matched with the ghost player [ Imperial Emperor ].
"Is the Imperial Emperor a human or a ghost?" Huahai Hai asked, shivering. "Could he really be a ghost?"
First floor [ Chou Ox Baili ]: Fifth floor, are you human or a ghost?
"Holy crap! Feiniu, are you out of your mind?" Huahai was terrified. "What kind of nice person asks if someone is a ghost right away? What if he really is a ghost and he's haunting us?"
"Didn't you want to know?" Fly asked with a strange expression.
[ Imperial Emperor ]:?
" The Imperial Emperor typed a question mark, so it seems he's human," Yinuo nodded.
"Why?" Huahai asked in surprise.
Yinuo said seriously, "Because I also like to use a question mark when I'm speechless."
Huahai: "..."
Fly hesitated for a moment, then continued typing his question.
[ Chou Ox · Baili ]: Fifth floor, I was actually joking just now, please don't mind. May I ask where you're from?
[ Imperial Emperor ]: China.
" China?"
Fly was stunned.
Even Huahai Yinuo was stunned on the spot.
[ China ] is their alternative name for [ Huaxia ]. In many novels, movies, TV series and other literary works, it is too sensitive to use the real country name Huaxia directly, so China is used to refer to the real Huaxia.
"So, the Imperial Emperor is one of us Huaxia," Fly frowned. "But why doesn't he just say 'Huaxia' directly? Why does he have to use 'China' to refer to Huaxia? Isn't that pointless and redundant?"
Huahai urged, " Feiniu, stop worrying about this now, it's your turn to choose a hero."
"Oh, oh." Fly temporarily put it out of his mind. Since it was the game version of King of Glory Season 1, there was no such thing as lane assignments, no hero preference tags, and not even hero pre-selection.
Which position and hero to play depends entirely on communication and compromise among team members.
Fly rolled up his sleeves, ready to go all out. "I'll just use Ma Chao to carry the whole team and give this ghost player, Imperial Emperor, a huge shock!"
" Feiniu, this is Season 1, there's no Ma Chao."
"Oh right, then I'll take on Dongfang Yao and Kerry for the whole game."
" Brother Niu, Yao was released in Season 16, not in Season 1."
"Ahem, then I'll go with Guan Yu. Guan Yu should be fine, right? After all, he has the King of Glory 1st Anniversary Limited Skin Frozen Warlord."
" Feiniu, Guan Yu wasn't available in Season 1. Guan Yu only became available in Season 4 at the King of Glory."
Fly: "..."
Yinuo pouted and said, " Brother Niu, aren't you the winner of the Mulan FMVP skin? Just play Mulan directly."
Fly, his face darkening, said, "I don't know how to play."
"You don't know how to play?" Yinuo was stunned.
Fly quipped, " Mulan was revamped in Season 6 with both light and heavy sword forms. The Season 1 version of Mulan wasn't revamped; her first skill was a three-stage wriggling attack similar to Cao Cao's. I just couldn't understand how to play her."
Huahai couldn't help but chuckle, "The General Feiniu, the God of the Top Lane, a nine-time KPL champion, and a seven-time FMVP winner, actually finds himself in a predicament of having no heroes to play in Season 1? Haha."
"Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to pull out my trump card."
With the countdown about to end, Fly made a snap decision, "I choose you!"
With a snap, Fly locked onto the hero to be deployed.
Huahai Yinuo was stunned.
"Choose him?"
