Chapter 313: The harsh conditions
As soon as he reached the elevator, Chen Zhao suddenly realized a serious problem.
No, I can’t take the elevator!
If the elevator suddenly broke down and got stuck, it would take a long time for the rescue team to arrive. It would be too late.
Chen Zhao slammed on the brakes and ran for the fire escape.
Fortunately, nothing else happened when they went down the stairs to the first floor, except for two times when they slipped and almost fell down the stairs.
Chen Mo jogged all the way to the hall on the first floor of the experience store, attracting a lot of attention. Everyone was still wondering what was wrong with the manager today, why was he so agitated?
Could it be … That she choked on too much dog food?
Chen Mo looked at the time on his bracelet. Luckily, he completed the mission in the last 30 seconds.
[System mission (1/5): arrive at the hall on the first floor of the experience store. [Completed]
[System mission (2/5): complete a match in League of Legends. [Time limit: 1 hour]
…
Chen Zhao was stunned. Just like that? Just play a game? It didn’t seem to be difficult.
Unless there was a sudden blackout in the experience store? The computer crashed? The mouse malfunctioned? Was there an electrical leakage on the keyboard?
Probably not, since the computers and mice in Chen Mo’s Experience Store were of good quality. As for the power outage or internet disconnection … That would be too much, right?
“Manager, do you want anything to drink?” the receptionist asked.
Chen Zhao said unhappily,” I called you so many times just now, why didn’t you pick up?”
The front desk girl was stunned,”ah? There wasn’t a call just now?”
Chen Zhao was speechless.
It seemed like jinx was playing tricks on him. Anyway, Chen Zhao didn’t plan to pursue it. He had completed the first mission. It was time for the second.
However, who was he going to play with?
As Chen Mo was thinking, someone shouted at the door,””Manager!”
Chen Mo raised his head and saw Jia Peng, Chang xiuya, and a girl he had never seen before walking into the experience store.
“What?” Chen Zhao was stunned.”You guys aren’t home yet?”
“No,” Jia Peng replied,”it’s just the holidays today. We’re all on tomorrow’s train, so we came to the experience store for a while.”
“The people who came to the experience store today are all true fans.” Chen Zhao said emotionally.
“Manager,” Chang xiuya introduced,”this girl is our junior. Her name is li jingsi. She’s in her third year.” Jingsi, this is the manager I’ve always told you about, Chen Zhao. ”
Li jingsi was slightly taller than Chang xiuya, about 1.67 meters. Her short hair was neat, but she had a unique cuteness to her. Li jingsi’s looks were very good, and she was probably the same type as Wen Lingwei, the type that would attract attention wherever she went. However, unlike Wen Lingwei, li jingsi gave off a very gentle vibe, not the least bit overbearing.
Moreover, li jingsi’s smile was very relaxed. She was definitely a healer.
Li jingsi smiled and nodded at Chen Zhao.””I’ve long heard of your great name. ”
Chen Mo also nodded.”Welcome, welcome. Jia Peng, you two have brought me new customers. Thank you so much. I should give you a Lifetime Achievement Award.”
“Mr. Manager,” Jia Peng said,”don’t give me all those fake stuff. Giving me an SSR set in Onmyoji is more practical than anything else.”
Li jingsi kept observing Chen Zhao. It wasn’t the kind of gaze that was impolite or aggressive. It was more of a curious gaze.
Chen Zhao didn’t mind. After all, he should be more worried about The Jinx.
Jia Peng looked at the time and said,”let’s go in.” By the way, manager, do you want to play a few rounds with us? I can’t take care of two girls by myself …”
Chen Mo was speechless, aren’t you going to sit in the lobby and chat? You guys came to the experience store on a day like this just to play games?”
Jia Peng coughed dryly,”manager, you’re going to hurt each other if you keep talking, isn’t it better to have a tacit understanding …”
“…You’re right. My brain short-circuited for a moment just now. Please don’t mind me.” Chen Mo said,”okay, I’ll play with you guys today. Go find a seat. I’ll bring some milk tea over.”
“Alright!” Chang xiuya was overjoyed. She had been a little worried at first, thinking that Jia Peng wouldn’t be able to carry the two girls on his own. But now that Chen Mo was going to fight, it seemed like Jia Peng would be able to win easily.
Jia Peng and the two girls found four seats in a row. After all, it was almost new Year, and the experience store’s traffic was decreasing, so it wasn’t hard to find empty seats.
Chen Zhao hadn’t arrived yet. He was probably still waiting for the milk tea.
“How was it?” Chang xiuya whispered to li jingsi,”how did it feel to see S-G.o.d?”
Li jingsi smiled.”Other than the fact that he’s very young, there’s nothing special about him. Is he really that good at gaming?”
“That’s for sure,” Jia Peng said.”He’s even beaten the G.o.ds on the ladder in Warcraft. Don’t you think he’s good?”
Li jingsi felt a little regretful.”It’s a pity that I played Warcraft too late and didn’t make it in time to fight him. However, I’ve heard many stories about him from Goph and the others. I heard that he was the one who invented the famous ‘wind blowing’.”
“Don’t worry, there’s still a chance. After you finish League of Legends, you can ask to play two rounds of Warcraft with him, he should agree. ” Jia Peng said.
As they were chatting, Chen Zhao came.
After pa.s.sing the milk tea to everyone, Chen Mo realized that the others had left him in the middle, next to Jia Peng and Li jingsi.
“Manager,” Jia Peng explained,”you can sit in the middle. It’ll be easier for you to command us.”
“Alright,” he said. Chen Mo sat down, feeling a little uncertain.
If it was before, bringing these people to fight in matchmaking would be no different from beating up machines. One against five would not be a problem. However, he was possessed by the G.o.d of bad luck now. If every word he said was toxic, he would be in big trouble as a commander.
He opened the League of Legends client and entered the game.
Chen Mo’s ID was still the same as before,”sient.” He had already played a few rounds in the beta and was now Level 5, ready for matchmaking.
Li jingsi had obviously played it before. Her account had just reached Level 3, which was just enough for her to play in matchmaking.
Jia Peng was the highest level among them, at level 10.
Jia Peng had invited three people to form a team, but they couldn’t gather five people to play, so they could only play a random pa.s.serby with four players.
Chen Mo glanced at the virtual screen on his bracelet and saw that the mission had been updated.
[System mission (2/5): complete a match in League of Legends. [Time limit: 1 hour]
[System mission (3/5): choose a champion that requires luck in the game.]
[System mission (4/5): complete 100 unlucky events in the game.]
[System mission (5/5): win the game with a score of 0:8.]
All the missions were refreshed, but the next ones had to be completed in this game.
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched. So many restrictions?
In order to complete the game within an hour, he had to choose a hero that required luck, complete 100 unlucky events, and win with a score of 0:8?
This … This is asking me to win while lying down!
