Jing Huan found that sure enough, people can't stay in their comfort zones all the time.
After being forced into defeat in two matches, his heart ached as he looked at the points he had lost.
It wasn't because of Qiufeng; rather, it was because a combination of two sealers really did prove to be more difficult to fight with than one support and one DPS. They couldn't keep up with the damage rate in the first place. Although Jing Huan was fully equipped, his summoning beast's rank wasn't high. The Nine-Tailed Fox's grade wasn't up to par and would get killed in two swings by their opponents.
After Regardless of Lovesickness and Chunxiao sent them out of the PK arena, Qiufeng wanted to comfort his teammate but then his friend notifications lit up.
[Friend] Chunxiao: Did you two team up tonight to just give away points? Philanthropist?
[Friend] Qiufeng: Why didn't you go easy on me!
[Friend] Chunxiao: My wife is rushing to get up to 4000 points. Why are you with Xiao Tianjing again?
[Friend] Qiufeng: My teammate isn't here tonight ah. I originally didn't want to fight, but suddenly, I discovered that Yearning For wasn't online, so I called her up. [evil chuckle]
[Friend] Chunxiao: I suggest you dissolve the team on the spot. With Yearning For, she's always gaining points, but with you, she's actually losing points. The more matches you two play, the better she'll find Yearning For.
Qiufeng angrily smiled, sending out a disdainful emoticon.
Jing Huan spoke into the microphone for a long time, then remembered that he hadn't pressed the key to speak, so Qiufeng couldn't hear him.
He didn't use YY very often and wasn't used to the program's default push-to-talk setting. He slowly pressed F2. "Qiufeng, maybe you should find another teammate?"
Qiufeng responded, "No ah, the first two were because I misfired. In the next few, I'll definitely take you to the top."
"No," said Jing Huan. "It's because I'm too noob, and your score is so high. It's not worthwhile to team up with me."
After the promotion of the multiplayer team competition, a new rule for the arena was added recently: high rank players teaming up with low rank players to play in the arena would obtain 20% fewer points when winning and lose 20% more points when losing.
"No, I just want to team up with you." Qiufeng paused a bit. "And weren't you with Yearning For this entire time? He's the one with the highest rank in the entire server."
Jing Huan's movements slowed.
It really was like that.
However, because they had lost very few matches, he had never thought about this point, and Yearning For had never mentioned it to him.
"Get ready ba." Worried about her leaving, Qiufeng started to urge her.
"Oh... alright ba."
Entering the match pairing interface, Qiufeng coughed. "By the way, Xiao Jing, the All the Lovers in the World event is happening soon. Do you want to do it with me? I'll carry you."
Jing Huan repeated blankly, "All the Lovers in the World event?"
Qiufeng suddenly remembered that Xiao Tianjing was new to NCH, but her technique always gave him the wrong impression of being a veteran player. "It's NCH's year-end event, similar to the Valentine's Day and Qixi Festival events. However, the All the Lovers event is specifically for increasing intimacy scores. If you complete all 100 levels, you can even get a brocade bag apparel that will expire in a year. When you hang it on your outfit, it looks very nice."
