Chapter 303 Not just you, I won't be with anyone else.
The three of them went to an internet cafe near the school and booked a small private room for three people.
Yu Lingxue sat between the two of them, separating them to prevent any spying.
"What are your requirements? Just say it."
Tang Zhi opened the game, placed her headphones on the table, and turned the volume up to the maximum.
"No requirements, it's up to you, the final result will be determined by the winner."
"OK."
The two logged into the game and started a one-on-one match, entering the hero selection screen...
"Um..."
Su Pengyi frowned and began to ponder. He had never played this game with Tang Zhi before, but he knew from experience that Tang Zhi must be very skilled...
He began to speculate on which hero Tang Zhi would choose, hoping to pick one that countered her, thus increasing his chances of winning...
"Let me think... Tang Zhi will definitely go all out. Given her personality, she'll probably choose some of the more powerful heroes..."
Su Pengyi sat there and began to analyze step by step, from Tang Zhi's personality to her psychology, wanting to understand her completely...
Only when the countdown was down to its last few seconds did the two of them finally choose their heroes!
"Ness!"
Upon seeing the hero chosen by Tang Zhi, Su Pengyi couldn't help but raise his arms and cheer!
"Tsk..."
Tang Zhi frowned slightly and clicked her tongue.
Yu Lingxue didn't know what was wrong. The game hadn't even started yet, so why were their attitudes so completely opposite?
Su Pengyi was overjoyed; he had actually predicted correctly which hero Tang Zhi would choose...
He, on the other hand, chose a hero that completely countered her!
Before the game even started, I already had a huge advantage!
After entering the game, the two bought initial equipment and went online. Su Pengyi observed Tang Zhi's equipment and chuckled.
As expected, Tang Zhi chose to play it safe and built tankier items.
Yu Lingxue watched intently from the side. Although she couldn't understand anything, she could sense that both of them were highly focused...
Su Pengyi, in particular, felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat...
The two probed relentlessly, but neither dared to make the first move. Even the slightest mistake would be magnified and lead to a decisive disadvantage...
Five minutes passed, and the two were still testing each other, neither showing any intention of making a move, both waiting for the other to make a mistake...
Finally, at the eight-minute mark, Tang Zhi made a slight positioning mistake, which Su Pengyi immediately seized upon!
"Ah..."
Yu Lingxue, who was watching from the side, immediately gripped her chair tightly upon seeing this scene.
"FirstBlood!"
"Tsk..."
Tang Zhi's screen turned black and white; she had been solo-killed...
Yu Lingxue's face was somewhat grim. She hadn't expected Tang Zhi to actually be killed; she couldn't believe such a thing had happened...
Tang Zhi wasn't surprised. There was no way around hero counters; in the early game, you were going to be completely overwhelmed. She was already doing quite well to have managed to hold on this long.
"What should I do..."
Yu Lingxue gently shook Tang Zhi's arm and asked with some concern.
Tang Zhi remained expressionless, shook her head, and said:
"It's okay, it's not like we're playing for first blood anyway, the outcome is still uncertain."
She didn't seem worried at all, waiting to be resurrected.
Su Pengyi was not careless either. Taking advantage of the time before Tang Zhi was resurrected, he quickly expanded his advantage and consolidated it.
Tang Zhi returned to her lane and continued laning against Su Pengyi. This time, she was much more cautious, giving Su Pengyi no chance and focusing on farming and developing her resources safely...
They were playing on a 5v5 map, so Tang Zhi would run to other lanes and push whenever she had the chance.
Keep Su Pengyi busy on defense, following behind Tang Zhi...
"This rhythm is off..."
Su Pengyi sensed something was wrong. Although he had killed Tang Zhi once, three of his own towers were gone, and he hadn't even destroyed a single one...
Because she herself said there were no rules and everything was arbitrary, they didn't stick to one line and fight to the death. Tang Zhi kept changing positions.
Su Pengyi had no choice but to run back and forth, passively defending.
So it might seem like Su Pengyi had the advantage, but in reality, Tang Zhi completely controlled the pace of the game...
Why didn't you kill him?
Yu Lingxue observed that Tang Zhi would turn and run away whenever she encountered Su Pengyi, showing absolutely no intention of fighting.
"Why bother? It's a tower defense game, as long as you win, that's all that matters."
Tang Zhi shrugged and said nonchalantly,
She wasn't greedy at all, which gave Su Pengyi no opportunity to seize it...
Tang Zhi's equipment build was all for pushing towers or staying alive, incredibly stable...
Half an hour passed, and the game was coming to an end. Tang Zhi had taken down all the towers and controlled the minion waves very well. In the end, she pushed in with a large wave of minions on all three lanes!
While Su Pengyi is a strong counter to Tang Zhi, his weakness lies in his poor wave clear ability, a weakness that Tang Zhi perfectly exploits...
In the end, Su Pengyi chose to abandon defense and go all in on the attack!
He wanted to race against Tang Zhi to see who could destroy the other's base first!
"What are you thinking? How could you possibly be faster than me..."
Tang Zhi scoffed, took both hands off the keyboard, and a massive wave of minions instantly destroyed Su Pengyi's base...
The game ended with Tang Zhi winning with a score of 0-1-0.
Su Pengyi sat there, leaning back in his chair, his eyes completely vacant. He hadn't expected that he had really lost.
Although my skills are about the same as Tang Zhi's,... my understanding of the game doesn't seem to be as strong as hers...
"Yay!" Yu Lingxue clapped for Tang Zhi, celebrating her victory in the competition.
Tang Zhi put on her coat, turned off her computer, stood up, and said:
"Alright, I hope you keep your word. We're leaving now."
Tang Zhi and Yu Lingxue left the internet cafe and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
Su Pengyi immediately chased after them and called out to them.
Tang Zhi stopped, turned around, and looked at him with a furrowed brow.
"What? Is there something else? You're not satisfied?"
"No... I give up. I just want to ask one last question: you really don't want to be with me at all, right?"
Su Pengyi's tone was solemn; he was heartbroken and desperately wanted to know the cruel truth.
Tang Zhi was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "It's not just you. I won't be with anyone. I don't date."
Su Pengyi frowned in great distress, stepped forward, and loudly questioned:
"Why? You don't plan to get married and have children in the future? Who will live with you then? Who will take care of you when you get old?"
He simply couldn't understand why Tang Zhi didn't want to be in a relationship.
She's never been in a relationship before, so why doesn't she want to try even once?
Tang Zhi spread her hands and said calmly:
"I just don't want to. Being in a relationship means being constrained, having to provide security for the other person, being obedient, being sensible, and living a stable, mundane life, dealing with daily chores like cooking and laundry..."
Tang Zhi paused for a moment, then took a lollipop out of her pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into her mouth.
Pointing his thumb to himself, he said:
"And me! Even if I grow white hair and get covered in wrinkles, I will still be fully armed, climb to the highest mountaintop and enjoy freedom! Play games to my heart's content in the deepest night! Play ball to my heart's content on the most lively court! That's me."
