26: Chapter 26 Now his eyes really turned blood red.

Blood-Red Pupils opened the settings,

and found many more options,

such as whether to display the frame rate.

He quickly clicked to enable it.

Then he looked closely,

Holy mother of...!

The frame rate was only 20 FPS!

It wasn't even stable!

It kept flickering!

One moment it was 25,

the next it was 11,

then 23,

then 16...

With the frame rate jumping around like that,

no wonder he always felt it was stuttering!

With this kind of lag,

he felt like the hero's movement wasn't even smooth,

let alone releasing skills.

Every skill he fired went wide;

he couldn't aim at all!

Unable to hit anyone with his skills,

he gnashed his teeth in frustration,

wishing he could personally transform into the hero

and have a real man's duel with the enemy AI.

Because it was so laggy,

he never expected that the AI—which he usually used just for training and confidence boosts—

would actually end up thrashing his best hero, Miyamoto Musashi.

He refused to accept it!

He really couldn't take this lying down!

If the phone were smooth,

how could he possibly lose to these AI bots!

The changes to the Canyon were quite significant,

compared to heroic battle records,

many adjustments had been made

to make it more suitable for mobile play.

The map was a bit larger,

you could get gold from minions without needing to last-hit,

equipment could be bought without returning to the fountain,

and several heroes' skills seemed to have been reworked...

The changes were indeed massive,

but man, this was just too freaking laggy!

He had no mood to pay attention to those changes,

as he was busy trying to tame his Miyamoto Musashi, which moved as if it had been drinking fake liquor.

Once again, because his skill release wasn't smooth,

he failed to get the kill on the opponent,

and was instead killed by the low-health enemy.

This time, he finally couldn't take it anymore,

and with a 'smack,' he slammed the phone onto the ground!

"What a garbage game!

What a garbage phone!

I'm done with this crap!"

He couldn't help but roar in anger,

but he didn't expect the phone to shatter into pieces with a 'crack' on the floor.

The screen glass fractured into many shards,

and one piece of the screen bounced up,

instantly stabbing into Blood-Red Pupils' eye.

Blood immediately began to flow from his eye.

"Holy shit! Ow, ow, ow!"

He felt waves of pain coming from his eye,

and something liquid was streaming down his cheek.

He instinctively wiped it with his hand,

only to find his hand covered in blood!

"To hell with this!

Garbage game!"

Blood-Red Pupils couldn't stop cursing honor of kings,

then fumbled for the li xiang a7 he had set aside earlier,

and quickly dialed 120.

Before long, an ambulance arrived

and took him to the hospital.

They gave him basic treatment,

removed the foreign object,

cleaned the wound, and stitched it up.

Then they wrapped it in gauze,

told him to rest,

and to avoid playing with his phone for a few days.

Blood-Red Pupils was truly speechless;

damn it, now he really had a blood-red pupil!

Meanwhile,

there were still many people in the forum waiting for Blood-Red Pupils to update,

some even waiting until the early hours of the morning.

Some who had just entered the thread were still marveling: "As expected of Great God Chi Tong!

So impressive!

He just dropped over 9,000 for a phone without blinking!

I have to ask my mom just to buy a grilled sausage!"

"This is simply inhuman wealth!

It has to be Great God Chi Tong! Awesome!

I was wondering, could you give me that li xiang a7 you're replacing, bro?

Consider it making a friend?"

"Wait, it's been so long,

why hasn't Great God Chi Tong come out to update his status?

Did he get too hooked on the game?"

"Great God Chi Tong's internet speed is just fast.

He's probably already finished downloading and logged in on his new phone,

while my damn old phone hasn't even finished downloading!"

"No need to download it.

If a phone worth seven or eight thousand can't even enter the game,

my crappy two or three thousand dollar phone is out of the question.

I'll just watch you guys play."

"Me too.

I canceled the download long ago.

I'm just waiting for Great God Chi Tong to update his follow-up status.

Why is there no word from him?

Could something have happened?"

"The guy above is such a jinx.

What could happen from just playing a game?

I think the game might be too fun after the update,

and Great God Chi Tong forgot to update the thread while playing."

"It's not impossible.

From that perspective, honor of kings after the update must be really fun!

But my crappy phone really can't get in!

If someone gives me a phone that can run honor of kings smoothly,

I'll call him my godfather!"

However, at this time, Blood-Red Pupils had just finished having his eye bandaged.

Now back at home resting in bed,

he finally had a moment to look at his phone,

and naturally saw those posts in the forum.

Seeing those speculations,

he couldn't sit still

and immediately posted an update.

"Fun? Fun my ass!

It's not fun at all!

It's laggy as hell!

The map changes are quite big,

but I didn't pay much attention to those.

Its flaws are too obvious!

It's too freaking laggy!

Even walking lags!

Don't even get me started on releasing skills!

You can't hit anyone at all!

The updated honor of kings offers a 60 FPS option,

but even the top-tier flagship ideal a8 only gets around 20 FPS,

and the fluctuations are huge.

Who knows who that 60 FPS is even for.

I tried matching with real players for ages

but couldn't find anyone.

I thought I'd play against AI for a bit.

Aren't AI bots usually super weak?

And the enemy AI was indeed very stupid,

but because of the lag,

my skills, controls, and positioning looked even stupider than the AI's!

In the end, I couldn't even beat the AI.

I got so angry I just smashed my phone!

But I didn't expect

an accident to happen.

The shattered screen glass stabbed right into my eye.

A lot of blood came out.

I just got back from the hospital.

I'll stop here.

The doctor said I should look at my phone less.

It's all tears, brothers!

Go to sleep early.

This rotten game isn't worth playing!"

This post immediately blew up the forum again.

"Holy crap! You just smashed a 9,000-dollar phone you just bought?

That's way too rich!"

"Wait, even a 9,000-dollar phone is that laggy?

Are you exaggerating?

Could it be that you're just bad?"

"Don't question Great God Chi Tong's skill.

Back in heroic battle records, he was ranked in the top 100 on the server.

I've been following him for a while."

"Oh no, now Chi Tong really has become 'Red Pupil'.

His eye must have been dyed red by the blood!"

"Hahaha, are you trying to kill me with laughter?

Cherish your life,

stay away from King of Pesticides!"

"The name 'King of Pesticides' is so fitting.

Forget it, brothers.

This crappy game is probably going to die.

I don't know what Tencent was thinking.

Wasn't heroic battle records good enough?

They just had to merge them

and create this honor of kings thing.

Now most phones can't even run this garbage game.

Is Tencent happy now?

We don't even need to think about it.

If a 9,000-dollar phone can't run it,

do you still expect your one or two thousand dollar knock-off phones to handle it?"

"Forget it, forget it.

There's really no point in waiting here.

Brothers, I'm going to bed first.

I can't hold on anymore!

honor of kings is truly disappointing!"
