Chapter 394 The System Was Hacked, or Was It Stolen?
Chapter 394 The System Was Hacked, or Was It Stolen?
"A competition? Does it require five people to participate?" Ning Yao became interested when she heard the word "competition".
"Yes, this is a city-wide competition, there are too many strong people, even if we participate, we may not be able to get a ranking." Cui Mengmeng said with a sigh.
Her and Xin Yujue's skill level can only be considered barely above average; there are many people above them.
"When do we register? When is the competition?" Ning Yao asked after a moment's thought.
"Registration starts next Friday, in teams, and the competition will be next month," Cui Mengmeng replied.
“I’m not starting filming until the end of next month, so the schedule doesn’t conflict. I’ll sign up and give it a try,” Ning Yao said with a smile.
“But we don’t have enough people, only four of us. Besides, you two are newbies…” Cui Mengmeng glanced at Ning Yao and Guan Ying. What use could two rookies be?
Noticing the doubt in Cui Mengmeng's eyes, Guan Ying became somewhat displeased. Her already cold face, coupled with that icy gaze, was enough to freeze a person solid.
She calmly took out her phone, showed Cui Mengmeng her match history, and then opened the game data to show Cui Mengmeng her attack, damage taken, and team fight participation rate. Her hero's rating for this match was as high as 16 points.
Guan Ying played a top lane hero, while Ning Yao surprisingly played a jungler.
Cui Mengmeng's favorite role is mid-lane, while Xin Yujue plays marksman. They are both squishy carries who can be easily pushed down or killed. They are most afraid of junglers and dare not touch jungle heroes at all, as they have an innate aversion to them.
Whether it's the people on the other side or themselves.
Playing a jungler requires a lot of skills. You have to farm, support other junglers, gank, control the tempo, and control the two dragons that provide buffs. If you make a mistake or mess up the game, you'll get yelled at by your teammates.
As expected of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, Ning Yao started as a jungler right from the start.
Moreover, judging from Guan Ying's performance, Ning Yao played quite well, with a higher score than Guan Ying and extremely high damage output.
“Your skill level is too low, so it will be easy for you to fight,” Cui Mengmeng said to Guan Ying.
That was true, but Guan Ying was not convinced. She indifferently raised her finger and made a two at Cui Mengmeng, saying calmly, "In two days, Boss Ning and I can reach your level."
Ning Yao raised an eyebrow at Guan Ying, her expression seemingly saying: Did you discuss this with me? You're making such a big boast without even asking me first.
Guan Ying gave Ning Yao a reassuring look, remaining exceptionally calm and without the slightest sign of panic.
Ning Yao chuckled, not at all intending to dampen Guan Ying's confidence. Let her have some fun, who knows, she might actually perform beyond her usual level?
Back in the teachers' apartment, Ning Yao took a shower and sat comfortably on the living room sofa. Before she could rest enough, Guan Ying sat down next to her with her phone.
Ning Yao sighed helplessly.
Ugh, is it really necessary to be in such a rush?
Ning Yao likes jungling because she thinks it's boring to keep fighting the same person on the same lane.
She prefers to be in control, to have a god-like perspective and be on everyone's heels.
Ning Yao quickly started playing games with Guan Ying, and it went quite smoothly. Ning Yao also became more and more familiar with the game's settings and gameplay.
Seeing Guan Ying repeatedly choose the same hero, Ning Yao frowned her beautiful eyebrows and clicked her tongue slightly with her red lips.
"Guan Ying, aren't you tired of playing this hero? It's been three games already, and you're still only playing this one hero?"
"I'll rank up first, and once I reach their level, I'll switch to other heroes to practice," Guan Ying said seriously.
Ning Yao treats games as a pastime, playing casually without caring about winning or losing, only enjoying the thrill of controlling the pace and ganking.
Guan Ying, on the other hand, regarded ranking up as her dignity. It seemed that if she couldn't reach the same rank as Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue within two days, she would lose face for eighteen generations of her Guan family ancestors.
While playing, Ning Yao noticed a small dialog box flashing on the right side of her game interface.
After a moment of distraction, Ning Yao, the jungler, was mercilessly killed by the enemy, and the entire screen turned black and white.
Guan Ying's face darkened for a moment, but considering that Ning Yao was the boss, she was too embarrassed to say anything to her, so she could only grit her teeth and silently pursue the enemy hero.
Ning Yao opened the message and found that it was sent to her by her son, Ning Chen.
Achen, a doting mom: [Mom, you've started playing Glory of Kings too?]
Six-Baby Hot Mom: [Yes, this game is really fun. Mengmeng and Ajue recommended it to me, and we're even planning to participate in a competition.]
After replying to the message, Ning Yao discovered that Ning Chen had actually chosen a nickname that sounded like "Mom-Spoiling Maniac."
However, she didn't pay attention to the messages for long and continued playing the game after closing the chat window.
After that, Ning Chen stopped contacting her, so Ning Yao focused on wandering around the jungle to regain her feel and rhythm.
Ning Yao and Guan Ying turned the tide of the game despite being at a disadvantage, and their three strong teammates kept sending voice messages in the game settings: Wow, that's so cool!
Not to mention her teammates, even Guan Ying was extremely excited. When she looked at Ning Yao, she instantly turned into a fangirl, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Guan Ying couldn't help but think to herself: As expected of Boss Ning, he's amazing at everything!
After the two left the game, the teammate who had been with Ning Yao tried to add her as a friend, showering her with compliments. Some even offered to give her skins, just asking Ning Yao to help them rank up.
Ning Yao noticed that her email had received a message, indicated by a red dot.
Instead of starting the next game immediately, she chose to open her email and check the messages in the gift center.
This sight almost caused Ning Yao's game to crash.
Mom-loving Ah Chen has prepared a little surprise for you: Wu Zetian Hero.
Mom-loving Ah Chen has prepared a little surprise for you: the Knicks Oracle.
Mom-loving Ah Chen has prepared a little surprise for you: Swan's Dream.
Mom-loving Ah Chen has prepared a little surprise for you: The Professional.
……
Seeing that Ning Yao hadn't started the game for a while, Guan Ying curiously turned her gaze to Ning Yao's phone screen.
Upon seeing this, her eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
Aren't these skins all rare collectibles in the game? You can't necessarily buy them even if you have money; it depends on luck.
How did Ning Yao manage to get all of her skins?
And you didn't spend a single penny?
After all, Ning Yao has been playing games with her since the game was launched, and she hasn't had time to spend money to open boxes.
Ning Yao also found it strange. These things are not something you can necessarily get even if you spend money, especially some of them are limited editions, like the Collector's Edition skins that are only released in three sets across the entire server.
Could it be that the son hacked into someone else's mobile game system and stole it?
This won't do. Ning Yao realized this, put on a serious face, and immediately made a phone call to Ning Chen.
The call was quickly connected, and Ning Chen spoke in his usual cold voice on the other end of the phone: "Mom, did you receive the gift?"
“Achen, you can’t just take advantage of your hacking skills to break into other people’s security networks. That’s illegal.” Ning Yao was worried that her son would become arrogant and go to extremes, breaking the law.
Ning Chen seemed stunned by Ning Yao's question, and remained silent for a long time. There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Ning Yao thought that her tone was too serious and had frightened her son, so she quickly softened her voice and said as gently as possible, "Mom is very grateful for your kind gift, but I still don't want it. I'm worried that you will be sued by the game developers and go to jail."
"Be good and return all these things right now."
Ning Yao would never be willing to send her son to jail just for a few skin gifts.
On the other end of the phone, Ning Chen seemed to let out a muffled, almost imperceptible laugh.
Then Ning Yao heard her son explain righteously, "Mom, I am the developer of this game."
