From Infinity
Chapter 12
Did Kong Yan hear Ye Xiu and Chen Guo talking about her?
With her inhuman hearing, she could hear every whisper within a few miles. For Kong Yan, such a distance was no different from being right next to her ear.
But she didn't mind. The other party didn't say anything bad about her. She even agreed with Ye Xiu's sentiments and empathized with them.
Not only in games, but also in life.
In the pure cruelty of the Lord God's Space, the fate between people could reach an unimaginably shallow level.
A new friend you were talking and laughing about a second ago could die in the next second. A teammate who went hand in hand in the last horror movie could also push you into eternal damnation in the next game.
Kong Yan had long been accustomed to the departure of each of her friends.
Before Luo Jiajia, she had a lot of peers for a short time. Some of them died from the ordeal of horror movies, some died from the persecution of others, and some betrayed her and only had themselves to blame.
Even Luo Jiajia chose to leave the world in the end because she couldn't stand the endless cycle of reincarnation.
And later, Team China, although after many hardships, they could trust each other's backs, but they didn't necessarily have much of a heart-to-heart.
The Lord God's Space brought people with different views together. If there was no shadow of danger, they might never be able to sit at a table and chat.
The Lord God's Space taught her that some things couldn't be changed.
She had long deeply understood and accepted that no matter what road it was, she would eventually go alone.
No one could accompany each other forever.
No one.
Cherish the moment and enjoy the moment.
As long as he could live happily, that was enough.

Kong Yan finished today's operation practice, and the milk tea she ordered just arrived.
She ordered more than a dozen cups and directly brought them out for the staff of the Internet cafe. Chen Guo was a little embarrassed. As a result, Kong Yan smiled and touched her head.
Chen Guo stood on the spot and thought about it for a while. She felt that it was a little subtle. This girl clearly looked young, but why did her words and actions always give her the feeling of a very mature elder?
Kong Yan took a cup of kumquat and lemon juice and placed it next to Ye Xiu's hand. "No caffeine, just pure juice."
Ye Xiu took a look and didn't stand on ceremony with her. "Thanks."
Kong Yan sneaked into the bar and looked at Lord Grim who was clearing the monsters on the screen. "Are you doing a quest?"
"You have to do these quests because you'll get Skill Points."
"Okay …" Kong Yan watched as Ye Xiu dealt with the monsters. Coincidentally, Chen Guo came over to give her some work, so she put down her game and went over to talk to Chen Guo.
He didn't know if it was too coincidental or not, but at this moment, he saw an unfamiliar swordsman slashing at him with his sword.
"Huh?" "Ah!"
Kong Yan's question and Chen Guo's scream overlapped. Ye Xiu turned his head back to look at the screen. Kong Yan's hand was one step faster. She had Lord Grim quickly dodge the attack and retreated to a safe distance. Then, she looked around her.
Unknowingly, the eleven people had already approached this place.
Ye Xiu didn't immediately pay attention to the newcomers. Instead, he looked at Kong Yan first. "Your hand is really steady."
Kong Yan was next to Ye Xiu. If she wanted to use the keyboard, she had to stretch out her arm. Her posture was a little twisted.
But even with this posture, she was still able to control Lord Grim perfectly. He avoided the attack and retreated to a safe distance.
Kong Yan didn't respond. She first looked at the eleven people's configuration. "It looks like Tiny Herb."
She was doing her homework and watching the match from the back. Yesterday, she had just finished watching Tiny Herb's matches this season. She was very familiar with Tiny Herb's configuration.
Ye Xiu also looked around. Sure enough, this was Tiny Herb's configuration.
Kong Yan quickly came out from behind the bar. "I'll join in the fun too."
She was naturally talking about the game.
Fortunately, The Joy Of Bearing Beauty was a few levels lower than Ye Xiu's group. She happened to be leveling nearby. She quickly ran over and threw a party at Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu immediately joined the party. Then, he continued to talk to Wang Jiexi. "Are you guys planning on playing the group arena?"
"Yeah." Wang Jiexi replied calmly.
"Too troublesome."
"Then what do you say?"
"Let's just compete in the team competition.
My teammates are here too. "
Everyone in Tiny Herb looked at The Joy Of Bearing Beauty, an Elementalist, who was standing not too far away from Lord Grim.
Two against ten, and the other one wasn't even a healer. This guy was too arrogant.
The young and aggressive Liu Xiaobie immediately exploded. He rushed forward with a Triple Slash. Lord Grim immediately pulled out his sword to block. Using the momentum, he retreated a few steps. Almost at the same time, Slash Slash Slash attempted to chase after him. Liu Xiaobie wasn't able to dodge in time. He could only watch as his character flew into the air. Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, which had just been pushed away, cracked and changed shape. Machine Gun!
"Da da da da da!"
Following the sound of bullets, Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash was shot into a sieve.
Seeing that their teammate had almost been beaten to death by the two opponents, Tiny Herb's players naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. They immediately charged forward.
In an instant, it was ten against two, and the battle was intense.
Lord Grim was clearly a tough nut to crack. Everyone's probing had all failed, so they naturally focused on The Joy Of Bearing Beauty. No matter how strong Lord Grim was, he couldn't stop eleven people. The Joy Of Bearing Beauty was standing in the back and attacking. Li Ji's Sharpshooter pretended to attack Lord Grim, but he was actually aiming at the Elementalist behind him.
Traceless Bullet fired six bullets at The Joy Of Bearing Beauty, hoping that Lord Grim wouldn't be able to help. The Joy Of Bearing Beauty was only Level 28, so she didn't have many skills to use. In order to support Lord Grim, all of her skills were on cooldown. Traceless Bullet fired his bullets under the cover of his teammates. By the time The Joy Of Bearing Beauty noticed, it was already too late.
However, Lord Grim, who had originally been busy dealing with the attacks of the others, opened up his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Not only did he block the attacks for The Joy Of Bearing Beauty, he also used the momentum to fly backwards.
Li Ji wanted to curse. This weapon with a transformable shape was too disgusting. Moreover, this Lord Grim even had the heart to block bullets for The Joy Of Bearing Beauty. Wasn't he afraid that the others would take the opportunity to kill him?
Reality told him that of course Lord Grim wasn't afraid.
Because at the same time he flew backwards, the Elementalist's AoE knock-up skill, Elemental Power, was ready. The ten people surrounding Lord Grim were hit. And this wasn't the end. In the next second, hail mixed with snow fell from the sky. It was the Elementalist's Level 25 ice spell, Blizzard.
"F * ck!
You're cheating!
You're casting too fast!
And isn't Blizzard supposed to be on cooldown! "Angry shouts came from the Tiny Herb players.
Because of her Frozen Fire Belt's cooldown reduction and cast speed effect, combined with her full concentration, she could naturally use two skills in a row. And it was a knock-up + slow combo. It was enough to disgust people to death.
This long CC duration was enough for Lord Grim to take advantage of the opportunity to chip away at the enemy's health.
"If you have the skill, then don't hide in the back!" Someone shouted angrily.
"Makes sense," Kong Yan said calmly, "Ye Xiu, I'll try."
Ye Xiu was very cooperative, "Then let's try."
And so, the two swapped positions.
Everyone in Tiny Herb was speechless.
A long-ranged player charging to the front?
Was this a joke?
The Joy Of Bearing Beauty used her disgusting playstyle to let everyone in Tiny Herb understand how disgusting an Elementalist with an erratic cooldown and cast speed could be.
— — It's simply destroying their worldview. If you like to dual train so much, why don't you play as a Battle Mage?
An Elementalist using a staff to poke people, isn't that disgusting?!!!!
Everyone in Tiny Herb was quite disgusted, but Kong Yan was quite happy.
Ye Xiu saw that they weren't used to this strange Elementalist, but he was also quite happy to see it. He laughed as he fought and retreated.
"You're making me doubt my life."
Doubt was doubt, but Elementalists weren't like unspecialized characters. Kong Yan was also quite far away from Ye Xiu. It was a bit too cruel for her to take on a group of Elementalists with a single Brittle Skin. Even though she was disgusting Tiny Herb, she couldn't hold on for long. Her health dropped rapidly. Even if she alternated between Spirit and Magic, she was still losing.
Seeing this, Tiny Herb's morale was greatly boosted. However, Kong Yan wasn't like Tang Rou, who was eager to charge forward. She felt that the situation wasn't good, so she naturally looked for an opportunity to retreat. She found an opportunity under the encirclement, and with Lord Grim's cooperation, she swapped positions again.
Tiny Herb had just gotten used to The Joy Of Bearing Beauty's disgusting playstyle when they were caught off guard by the opponent's sudden change of formation.
Wang Jiexi reacted quickly though. With a few orders, he changed his strategy.
A command suddenly popped up in The Joy Of Bearing Beauty's chat.
"Lord Grim: Retreat. Find a place to log off."
Kong Yan temporarily turned off her microphone and asked Ai Jia, "I'll control The Joy Of Bearing Beauty to log off. Can you not delay it?"
"Small case."
“OK。”
Kong Yan replied in the chat.
"The Joy Of Bearing Beauty: Where are you?"
"Lord Grim: Left front room."
"The Joy Of Bearing Beauty: I'm seducing you."
"Lord Grim: Yes."
After the two finished their discussion, they retreated while fighting. Tiny Herb's players naturally chased after them, but the two in front of them jumped over the wall. The Sharpshooters kept firing at the two players behind the wall, not daring to reveal themselves. The remaining players split into three groups and jumped over the wall. But after crossing the wall, they didn't see any sign of Lord Grim or The Joy Of Bearing Beauty. While they surrounded the shabby mud house, The Joy Of Bearing Beauty appeared out of nowhere and used an AoE skill to knock them into the air. Then, when they finally found this person's position — —
She suddenly disappeared.
Tiny Herb's players were dumbfounded. Wang Jiexi immediately realized that the other side had taken advantage of the few seconds they were in the air and couldn't find them to log off.
He sighed at how fast this person's hand speed was. How skillful was her positioning to be able to use this shabby house to cover all of their blind spots? He even wondered if the lack of delay didn't make sense. At the same time, he changed his train of thought. The Joy Of Bearing Beauty had logged off, but where was Lord Grim?
Lord Grim hadn't found him either.
Chen Guo, who had been staring at Kong Yan's screen and then at Kong Yan's screen, finally understood what had happened after Ye Xiu's explanation.
The Joy Of Bearing Beauty had used the house and the surrounding mud to hide her tracks. Then, when she couldn't hide anymore, she took the initiative to knock them into the air and silence them. Then, she logged off.
Lord Grim had used Aerial Fire a few times to create a psychological battle. Then, he hid in the mud house where they would eventually find him and forcefully logged off.
"Weren't you two going to fight a 2v10?" Chen Guo was puzzled.
"How could we win a 2v10? Of course we had to run.
The Joy Of Bearing Beauty was even at low health. "Ye Xiu was speechless.
Chen Guo was even more speechless. "Then why were you so arrogant before?"
Ye Xiu ignored her and looked at Kong Yan, a bit puzzled. "… How did she log off so quickly?" He could only use the time difference to forcefully log off. How could Kong Yan log off in front of Tiny Herb?
Strange.
