Those Sweet Times

Chapter 7 Part 1

Xiang Nuan had no classes Monday afternoon. She was planning to
go to the library when she received a phone call from president Waiwai
asking her whether she was free.

“I have time, president, what is it?”

“Don’t call me president, just xuezhang.” Waiwai said, “I’m going to the
main campus this afternoon to take care of some business. Come with me
to get familiar with the procedure, so you can take care of it in the future.”

Xiang Nuan felt that Waiwai was training her to be his assistant and so happily
replied, “Sure!”

What Waiwai xuezhang needed to do at the main campus was to get approval
from the university club committee for club activities. With the approval, the club
could officially organize events and receive funding for them.

“What kind of events does our club have?” Xiang Nuan asked.

“We have a lot of them. Most of them are campus wide esports competitions
every semester. The one for this semester is coming up soon.”

The on campus esports competitions were divided into several categories,
even Battle of Balls [1] had its own event. But the most popular one was Kings of Glory.

Waiwai xuezheng asked her, “Xiang Nuan, do you want to sign up?”

“I can’t, I’m only Silver.”

Silver was one level up from the Bronze. However, in the eyes of high level
players such as Waiwai, those two levels were at the bottom.

Waiwai didn’t say anything about carrying Xiang Nuan. It wasn’t because he
didn’t want to, but he felt that Xiang Nuan probably wouldn’t like that. He
continued, “It’s just a game, you don’t need to care too much about your rank…...
What champion are you playing lately?”

“Zhuang Zhou.”

“Zhuang Zhou is pretty good.”

“Yeah, he’s good looking with such a nice voice.”

Waiwai: “......” He didn’t know how to continue.

Xiang Nuan was somewhat embarrassed, she scratched her head and said,
“That…...Zhuang Zhou’s ultimate is pretty good.”

“Not just his ultimate, his other abilities are very useful as well. His first ability
can reduce the speed of the enemy; the second one can increase his move
speed as well as nearby teammates, plus deals quite a lot of damage.”

A lot of damage…...Xiang Nuan was ashamed, “Xuezhang, we probably aren’t
playing the same Zhuang Zhou.”

Waiwai spoke in amusement, “You probably don’t understand the passive effects
for those two abilities.”

Most champions in Kings of Glory have one passive ability and three active abilities.
A passive ability is an ability that is always active and does not require the player to
activate. Active abilities require a player to activate it by tapping it. In addition, some
active abilities also had passive effects.

For example, Zhuang Zhou’s second ability will automatically activate at regular
intervals regardless of its cooldown.

Waiwai explained, “The more times the second ability hits a target, the accumulated
damage will be higher. If it’s more than 3 times, the damage is pretty high. Therefore,
you should be aware of the timing; the instant your second ability activate because of
its passive effect, you should activate the second ability, you’ll be hitting them twice.
With another one or two more times, your enemy will definitely be crying then.”

Xiang Nuan felt like the gate to a brave new world had opened for her. She had never
thought about it. She would just tap when the light came on to use her abilities. She
even complained that Zhuang Zhou’s damage was too low. It turned out that it wasn’t
Zhuang Zhou’s fault, it was because she didn’t know how to use him properly.

“And, don’t use the ability too far away from the enemy. It takes time for the ability to
reach the enemy, so they can be out of range by then. Furthermore, don’t use his
ultimate randomly. It has a long cool down time. During a team fight, you may only
have one opportunity to use your ultimate so you have to use it wisely. You have to
get a feel of it.”

“En, en, en!” Xiang Nuan kept nodding. “Thanks a lot, xuezhang!”

“Don’t mention it. We learn from each other and help each other.”

Xiang Nuan memorized everything Waiwai had told her and thought about trying it
out tonight with Chuyan.
