2261 Designated Shield

It was unexpectedly interesting to watch Han Zhuoling play games.

It likely wasn't the game but Han Zhuoling himself playing it that was drawing people's eyes.

Think about it—wasn't it engaging, Han Zhuoling playing games?

Hence, the six others went behind Han Zhuoling's and Shi Xiaoya's sofa to watch.

Shi Xiaoya: "…"

Han Zhuoling: "…"

Han Zhuoling finally got through the tutorial but still couldn't play the ranked modes.

But it didn't matter since Cheng He and the other three went to do so.

Shi Xiaoya, Han Zhuoling, and the other two went to play the team match.

Because he was a beginner, the system allocated him the default character, Arthur.

Shi Xiaoya was used to playing Angela.

Because of her busy working schedule, she did not have much time to play games.

Though the game had released many new heroes, she hadn't had the time to practice playing them.

Plus, she was only a noob to begin with. She hadn't perfected one character, and she did not dare to explore other heroes as well, so she stuck with Angela.

Shi Xiaoya, Han Zhuoling, Zhang Jian, and Zhang Xiangyou formed a team.

Shi Xiaoya briefly explained what the responsibility of a "meat" was to Han Zhuoling.

Though a noob skills-wise, she understood the basics, so explaining was no problem to her.

When Han Zhuoling learned that his responsibility was to protect the "weak," he followed Shi Xiaoya everywhere and did nothing else.

He became Shi Xiaoya's designated shield.

Han Zhuoling was a bronze-level player, but Zhang Xiangyou and Zhang Jian were far higher leveled.

And hence, their opponents were generally higher leveled too.

This made Zhang Jian's assassin and Zhang Xiangyou's archer have a tough time.

Han Zhuoling never bothered with them, after all.

Even when they got "killed," Han Zhuoling merely stepped over their bodies.

"I strongly request the production team to show this part. Let the audience know how cold and heartless this man can be!" Zhang Jian complained as he waited for his character to respawn.

After a meeting, Lu Dongliu was watching the monitor screen.

Lu Dongliu laughed gaily. "Be assured, the audience will definitely see this!"

As a shield, Han Zhuoling only served to protect Shi Xiaoya.

So the opponents completely crushed them.

The opponents got more relaxed, and someone asked, "Is your Arthur teaching his sister?"

Zhang Xiangyou quickly replied, "Nope, it's the girl leading him."

The opponent: "That girl is such a noob and she can teach him?"

Shi Xiaoya saw that and got upset. "So what if I'm a noob? How irritating!"

Han Zhuoling pursed his lips, saying, "Go, kill him."

"How?" Shi Xiaoya felt that Han Zhuoling was even worse than her.

In truth, Han Zhuoling was adept at this now.

Through observing, he'd grasped many techniques and tricks of the game.

It was only that he was focused on protecting Shi Xiaoya and was totally ignoring Zhang Xiangyou and Zhang Jian that he seemed like a lousy player.

Han Zhuoling said, "I'll squat in the bush. You lure him over and I'll blast him with my ultimate move."

Shi Xiaoya was stunned. "You've only played a short while and you already know how to lie!"

Han Zhuoling: "…"

Why did she speak as if he was some hooligan with bad intentions?

Of course, he certainly had no good intentions, but wasn't it reserved for the opponents?

"We'll join too!" Zhang Jian suggested.

He felt that he couldn't keep dying with Zhang Xiangyou. They had to participate more.

They'd contributed over a dozen kills now.

With Han Zhuoling's protection, Shi Xiaoya died only twice.
