Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 1: The Storm is Coming

Chapter 4

Ai Qing was silent for three seconds, then she gave out a list of names:  

701, Xiaoxiao, Following…...and her own alternate id Appledog.

She was choosing the last player.

She hesitated for a long time.  Finally, instead of choosing Solo,  she looked at the person next to her.  “Boss, play with us.”

“Me?”  Baona was shocked.  “Why do I need to play?  Has SP already withered to such an extent that I have to play?”

“It’s alright, boss.”  Ai Qing casually mentioned.  “I am also just a commentator.”

“Are you joking?  Ten years ago, at the height of CS, you were the sniper of the best team……”  Though Baona complained, he sat down in high spirits, rolling up his sleeves.  “Come on.  Can somebody explain to me how to play DotA2 first?”

……

The computers were quickly lined up on the dining table.

She turned on the computer in front of her, but found DotA2 was not installed.

“Any more computers?”  She took off the earphones and asked Baona.  “This computer does not have DotA2.”

“Mine doesn’t have DotA2 either.  I only have DotA.”  Xiaoxiao also took off his earphones somewhat helplessly.

DotA2 wasn’t the main event for all the players here.  Naturally, most computers did not have the game installed.

But Ai Qing’s computer had it installed.

Being a qualified commentator, playing various games was her daily routine.

She told the opponent to wait for her for 10 minutes so she could go back to fetch her computer.  The opponent replied immediately after she sent the message: “It doesn’t matter.  We can play DotA instead of DotA2.”

DotA?

Ai Qing did not know whether this was destiny.  Ten years ago, she lost this game to him.

She had no objections.  She clicked on the DotA icon on the screen.

DotA, Defense of the Ancients.

This was the cla.s.sic team based battle arena game in the past 10 years.

One player’s mistake could cause the whole team to lose regardless of each player’s skill, chosen hero, or tactics.

Therefore, teamwork determined everything.

But tonight…..Ai Qing did not know the opponent’s situation.  But she was fully aware that the five players on her side was a temporary a.s.sembly.  Though they were all very familiar with the game, there was a distinct lack of teamwork.

So she needed to choose heros carefully.

It was very possible for the enemy to gain control of the map in the early game, they might only have the opportunity to turn the game around in the latter half of the game.

But, this was not the problem.

The greatest delight in DotA was the pleasure of completely turning a game around after your opponent had already locked the map down.
