2: Newbie playing King of Glory

At the mention of honor of kings, many people's first thought might be "low-brow."

But for Ye Bai, it was a very successful game.

Back when computer games dominated the scene, honor of kings managed to carve out a path for itself.

It even became a household name, which can be called a miracle in the gaming world.

Not to mention that this game has always promoted history and culture, such as Yang Yuhuan's Dunhuang Mogao Caves mural skin, Diaochan's Hu Xuan Dance skin, the five opera-themed skins, and so on.

It also implemented a high-volume, low-margin strategy for skins.

Before this, Ye Bai remembered a mobile game where skins were sold for thousands each, and even Inscriptions and weapons had to be bought with money.

Anyway, people cursed honor of kings every year, yet it made money every year and people played it every year.

Ye Bai created this game firstly to keep himself from being bored, and secondly, of course, because of its money-making potential.

honor of kings really supported a lot of people, from the development team, clubs, and professional players, down to Streamers and power-levelers.

The version Ye Bai had currently produced was the official open beta version of honor of kings.

However, he hadn't made the hero Monkey yet.

When the several people in the dorm heard this strange game name and heard Ye Bai's invitation...

They agreed without a second thought, "Sure."

After all, this was the first game Ye Bai had made and the first time he had invited them, so they might as well show some support.

Even if the game Ye Bai made was terrible, they would still offer a few words of praise against their conscience.

Ye Bai: "This is a 5v5 MOBA game. Come, let me share it with you."

As he spoke, he opened his phone and sent the downloaded game to the dorm group chat.

Grom was puzzled, "Why are you sending it to our phones?"

Weren't games always played in a holographic pod?

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, "Uh, this is a mobile game."

The honor of kings he used to play was on mobile; if he had to change it to a holographic game, he really wouldn't know where to start.

honor of kings became popular back then because of its convenience, satisfying the need for a quick match during work breaks.

However, according to the original owner's memories, this world currently had no concept of mobile games.

The games here were all holographic games, with limited variety and simple gameplay.

Most were combat and exploration-style games.

One could say the entertainment industry was very barren.

"Alright, you guys try it first," Ye Bai said as he opened honor of kings.

Soon, a familiar interface popped up on the phone, accompanied by the familiar sound, "TiMi~"

This voice was the one Ye Bai had selected from the Zhongzhou University resource library that fit best.

Hearing this sound now, Ye Bai even had the illusion that he hadn't transmigrated.

Seeing this, Chen Chen and the other two also opened the icon.

The interface was clean and simple. In the center, a blonde man in golden mechanical armor appeared, seemingly roaring.

Originally, there should have been several heroes together, but Ye Bai chose to put Arthur on his own.

Besides that, there were several sections on the interface.

Battle Mode, Adventure Mode, Ranked Match, and Bounty League.

They looked at each other, not knowing how to start or even how the game was played.

Usually, when they played games, they would lie in a holographic pod and control the game directly with their consciousness.

But this game... completely subverted their understanding.

A mobile game?

They saw Ye Bai tap the 'Heroes' button in the bottom left corner and followed suit.

Soon, many character roles popped up on the interface.

"These are heroes. We can control these heroes to fight," Ye Bai explained. "Come, let's start a 2v2. I'll teach you, and you'll get the hang of it after a game or two."

After adding them as friends, he pulled them all into the room.

Upon entering the game, the others fell into deep thought again as they looked at the hero selection screen.

It was Ye Bai who shouted, "Quick, pick a hero! Just tap whichever one you like."

There were currently 18 heroes in total. Since it was for testing, these heroes were available without needing to be purchased.

The controls were also very simple.

Ye Bai chose Hou Yi, and soon Hou Yi's voice line played: "I am the last sun!"

Chen Chen hesitated for a long time before choosing Daji.

Grom and Vilan chose Xiao Qiao and Arthur.

Soon the countdown ended and they entered the loading screen. The three Roommates looked at the screen and thought these four characters looked quite good.

After entering the game, Ye Bai controlled Hou Yi to walk out of the Fountain while teaching them, "The place where we stand when we first enter is called the Fountain. You can move out using the Joystick with your left hand. This controls the direction."

"The Joystick on the right is for attacking..."

Ye Bai taught them bit by bit, and only then did the three Roommates clumsily emerge from the Fountain, pausing every now and then.

"This is a Turret. Turrets can attack enemy heroes and enemy minions..."

"After we head out, we clear the Minion wave first to level up. Clearing minions gives you Gold, which can be used to buy Equipment. Buying Equipment allows you to kill enemies faster."

Ye Bai felt he had never been this patient playing honor of kings in his life.

This was complete hand-holding.

But there was no other way. In this world, there was no honor of kings. If he didn't teach them, he wouldn't have anyone to play with in the future.

Chen Chen was currently controlling Daji to clear minions with her First skill. After clearing the wave, he reached level two. He tapped to level up a skill, then tried throwing out his Second Skill, only to find the enemy Arthur was stunned by him.

Then he continued to tap the Basic attack.

He had to admit that this game Ye Bai made was quite interesting.

Compared to the common combat games in this world, it was indeed refreshing.

These heroes all had their own skills, and the voice lines were also very interesting.

"Hey, how did you think of making this game?" Chen Chen asked while playing.

Ye Bai: "I just made it on a whim. When inspiration strikes, there's no stopping it."

If these words were heard by other students in the game design department, it would be a classic case of humblebragging.

But Chen Chen just asked casually and didn't really take it to heart.

He was already completely immersed in the game.

"Ahhh, don't hit me!" Chen Chen's hands didn't stop, and his eyes were glued to the phone screen.

"Solo kill!" Ye Bai controlled Hou Yi to kill both opponents.

He was happily crushing the newbies, and when Grom and Vilan saw him looking so smug, their competitive spirit was instantly ignited.

"Don't get cocky! We'll definitely beat you in a bit!"

In this era where people didn't know how to talk trash yet, the threats they made only made Ye Bai want to laugh.

"Come on, come on! I'll beat you with one hand tied behind my back!"

The four of them played several matches in the dorm.

They went from being silent at the start to shouting all sorts of things later, and finally learning how to talk trash from Ye Bai.

"If I don't rip your head off today, my last name isn't Vilan!"

"Come at me, come at me! Can you even beat me? You little scrub!"

"Bah! Don't hold me back, I'm going to 1v1 you!"
