This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 119: Chapter 100: I’ll Be Ashe, You Be Jhin

"What are you talking about? I’m just having an off day!"

At Chen Mo’s words, her voice immediately grew louder.

But there’s a saying: the louder the voice, the more insecure the person.

Chen Mo felt that was exactly her situation.

"This is my first time playing this game, so I’m not familiar with it yet. It’s understandable that I made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, right?"

"Trust me, I feel like I’m slowly getting the hang of it. Let’s keep going, keep going! Don’t you go saying you ’suddenly have something to do’!"

Afraid that Chen Mo would bail, she quickly assured him she was getting in the zone.

Back when she used to play games with her roommate, her roommate would suddenly pipe up mid-game with, "Oh, something suddenly came up. I gotta go."

And then she’d see her roommate lying in bed, scrolling through short-form videos on her phone.

’So busy.’

"Alright."

Hearing this, Chen Mo thought for a moment and decided to see how she’d do.

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

Over the next part, she actually seemed a little better than before.

But only by a tiny, tiny bit.

She was still utter trash.

Clearly, it had nothing to do with being "on" or "off." She was just plain bad.

Fortunately, after over an hour of struggling, the two of them finally cleared the first Chapter.

"We cleared the first Chapter. Not bad, huh?"

She seemed a little excited, thinking that clearing the first Chapter in over an hour was pretty fast.

"I saw someone else’s playthrough. Including the eight minutes of cutscenes, they finished the first Chapter in twenty-eight minutes total."

"Not counting the cutscenes, we took almost two hours."

Chen Mo stated flatly.

"What’s the point of clearing it fast? We spent the same amount of money on the game, but we got to play for over an hour longer than other people. We totally came out ahead!"

She was completely unfazed and actually thought playing longer was a good thing.

"I’ll admit, you might have gotten your money’s worth, but something’s suddenly come up. I gotta go."

Chen Mo decided to make a run for it. If he kept playing with her, he felt he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from cussing her out.

"No, wait! I’m not a total noob, I swear! I’m great at other games!"

"How about we play LoL? I’ll carry you and help you rank up."

The moment she heard he was about to bail, she got anxious and quickly invited him to play a different game to show off her true skills.

"For real?"

Chen Mo was skeptical.

’She’s this bad at a story-driven game, and she thinks she can carry me in LoL?’

"Guaranteed."

Her tone was full of confidence.

"Alright, let’s play one game and see."

Chen Mo agreed. He mainly wanted to see what her skill level was really like to justify that much confidence.

"Send me your ID."

"Jiangcheng Road Jiang Chenglu#57797."

Chen Mo sent his ID over.

"? I hate these ’Location + Name’ type IDs the most."

she said with disdain.

"And your ID is?"

Chen Mo ignored her comment. He’d changed his ID back in ’18, and his hometown was right on Jiangcheng Road.

He just never changed it after that.

"Hua Zheng Tian Xiwei#12345."

"?"

Chen Mo’s mind filled with question marks. ’Are you kidding me, lady?’

’So what you just said was complete bullshit?’

"Hehe, I’m just that hypocritical."

She giggled, dropping the pretense and openly admitting her double standards.

"I remember the real Tian Xiwei being exceptionally talented, while your talents seem... average. Are you sure you’re worthy of that name?"

Chen Mo thought back for a moment, recalling the photo of her he’d just seen, and couldn’t help but make a comparison.

’Yeah, the contrast was a bit stark.’

"All I can say is, you don’t know the real me."

Chen Mo’s jab didn’t seem to faze her at all. In fact, she replied with complete confidence.

’Is she a hidden master?’

"Alright, we’re in the same server region, so we can play."

Chen Mo sent her a friend request, which showed they were in the same server region.

"What champion do you want to play?"

After they started queuing, Chen Mo asked.

"I’m an all-rounder. I can play anything. What do you want to play?"

she answered confidently.

"You play Soraka, I’ll play Ashe."

Chen Mo said casually. They could go bot lane together so he could test her skill.

"Heh, you’re still using that ancient pun? Are you some kind of old-timer?"

She let out a chuckle, instantly getting Chen Mo’s lame pun, and immediately started teasing him.

She knew Chen Mo was just joking around with a pun and didn’t take it to heart.

Hearing this, Chen Mo just smiled. ’Looks like she really does play this game,’ he thought.

It was a well-known, flirty pun. The joke would have landed much better if she had been the one to suggest the "Ashe and Soraka" combo.

Too bad she knew the pun and didn’t fall for the trap.

But that’s fine. He had other tricks up his sleeve.

"My bad. Double marksman bot is popular right now. How about you play Ashe, and I’ll play Jhin?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and proposed another bot lane composition.

"Okay... wait, what?"

She didn’t get it at first and was halfway through agreeing when she suddenly sensed something was off.

"Is this a new pun? I almost fell for that one."

Luckily, she was quick on the uptake. Otherwise, she really would have fallen for Chen Mo’s trick.

She had just been mocking Chen Mo for using stale puns and being an old-timer. If she’d fallen for his trap a second later...

Wouldn’t that have been a slap in her own face?

"What other puns like that are there? Tell me so I can watch out for them in the future."

she asked Chen Mo curiously. It was hard to tell if she genuinely wanted to be on guard or if she was trying to learn his tricks.

"Nah, forget it. The others are kinda tasteless."

Chen Mo thought about it. There were definitely a few more.

If they knew each other really well, it’d be fine to joke around.

But since they didn’t, he was worried she might take it the wrong way.

Mainly because they were genuinely tasteless.

"It’s fine, it’s just a pun. I’m not that sensitive. Go on, let’s hear them."

She sounded completely unbothered, speaking in a very open and easygoing manner.

She could tell the difference between a joke and someone being genuinely crass.

"I’ll play Gragas, you play Gnar."

"You play Ashe, I’ll play Gnar."

"I’ll play Thresh, you play Garen."

"..."

Chen Mo rattled off a few more jokes. Yep, all ones he’d seen online.

"Nice, nice. I’m stealing those."

She wasn’t the least bit offended after hearing them. In fact, she sounded excited.

She planned to spring them on her roommate the next time they played together. It was sure to be hilarious.
