Interstellar Partners

Amidst the bustling study life of the interstellar campus, a rare leisurely weekend arrived. On Saturday morning, sunlight streamed through the soft curtains, spilling onto Jiang Wan’yuan’s bed. She groggily reached out from under the covers, fumbling for her phone. After unlocking the screen, she saw a message from Yi Shang: “Weekend, play Honor of Kings? Invite Jichuan and them.” Jiang Wan’yuan instantly woke up, her lips curving into a smile, and she quickly replied, “Okay, okay, I’ll contact them right away!”

Jiang Wan’yuan excitedly sat up, opened the group chat, and typed away: “Guys, Honor of Kings tonight? Yi Shang has spoken!” The message had barely been sent when Jichuan immediately replied: “Must participate! My hands have been itching for ages. Today, I’ll show you how awesome my Luban No. 7 is.” Zhang Yao also responded quickly: “Count me in. Perfect time to try out my newly practiced Cai Wenji, I’ll heal you like crazy.” Lin Yue then said, “Alright, I’ll take Yu Ji, safely outputting from the back.”

Yi Shang, seeing everyone’s replies, nodded slightly and sent a message in the group: “2 PM sharp, let’s go.” Jiang Wan’yuan looked at her phone, as if she could see Yi Shang’s aloof and serious expression through the screen, and couldn’t help but giggle.

Time quickly arrived at 2 PM. The six were at their respective homes, entering the Honor of Kings team room right on time. Yi Shang chose Diao Chan, a character she was skilled with. Her fingers glided lightly across the screen, her eyes focused and calm, as if she was ready to show off her skills in the canyon. Jiang Wan’yuan unhesitatingly locked in Yao, and said with a grin in the voice chat, “Yi Shang, I’ll stick with you today. Let’s see who dares to bully you.” Yi Shang’s lips curled slightly upward as she quietly responded, “Okay.”

Jichuan eagerly picked Luban No. 7, confidently shouting, “Brothers, watch my short legs go crazy with output in the canyon, beating the opponents to a pulp!” Zhang Yao, controlling Cai Wenji, said in a sweet voice, “Don’t be afraid, everyone. This baby will heal you like crazy from behind, ensuring you won’t die.” Lin Yue skillfully selected Yu Ji, saying, “I’ll find opportunities to output from the back. Everyone, be careful to protect me.”

The game began. Yi Shang’s Diao Chan quickly cleared the mid-lane minions and then began to roam and support. Jiang Wan’yuan’s Yao closely followed Yi Shang, constantly saying, “Yi Shang, be careful of the bush on the left, someone’s coming from the right…” Yi Shang responded while skillfully maneuvering Diao Chan, “Mm, I see.” Suddenly, the enemy jungler Han Xin jumped out of the bush, attempting to ambush Yi Shang. Jiang Wan’yuan reacted quickly, immediately using a control skill to stun Han Xin. Yi Shang seized the opportunity, unleashing a series of skills on Han Xin, successfully killing him. “Nice one, Yi Shang! Perfect teamwork!” Jiang Wan’yuan shouted excitedly.

Jichuan’s Luban No. 7 was also doing well in the bottom lane, suppressing the enemy marksman with his flexible positioning and high burst damage. “Haha, look at how powerful my Luban is, none of you can get close to me.” Jichuan said smugly. However, the enemy seemed to realize the threat posed by Luban No. 7, and the mid-laner and jungler rushed to support. “Not good, Jichuan, they’re coming to get you, run!” Zhang Yao shouted anxiously. But the enemies were coming in fiercely, and Jichuan couldn’t dodge in time and was killed by the enemy. “Aiya, careless, didn’t flash away.” Jichuan smacked his thigh in frustration.

“Don’t be discouraged, Jichuan, let’s continue to look for opportunities.” Yi Shang said calmly. “Yeah, yeah, Jichuan, we’ll avenge you.” Jiang Wan’yuan also comforted him. After analyzing the situation, Yi Shang said, “They’re focusing on catching Jichuan right now, so the top and mid lane defense towers are weakly defended. Let’s go push the towers.” The others followed Yi Shang’s command, quickly switching to the top and mid lanes, successfully destroying two of the enemy’s defense towers.

As the game progressed, the situation gradually became tense. The enemy began to target Yi Shang’s Diao Chan, gathering multiple people to encircle her. “Yi Shang, there are so many people coming to get you, retreat quickly!” Jiang Wan’yuan’s voice changed with nervousness. Yi Shang frowned slightly, calmly controlling Diao Chan to use her second skill’s invincibility effect to dodge the enemy’s skills, and then found the right opportunity to activate her ultimate, dancing among the crowd. Jiang Wan’yuan also jumped down at the right time, using her control skills to help Yi Shang keep the enemies in place. Yi Shang weaved back and forth in the crowd, dealing high damage, successfully killing two enemies. “Wow, Yi Shang, you’re amazing! This Diao Chan is played so well!” Jichuan couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Let’s seize the opportunity to fight the Lord, and expand our advantage.” Yi Shang said. The others quickly gathered, and under Yi Shang’s command, successfully killed the Lord, pushing towards the enemy’s high ground with the Lord Herald. The enemy desperately resisted in front of their high ground, and a fierce team fight broke out between the two sides. Yi Shang calmly looked for weaknesses in the enemy’s formation, while Jiang Wan’yuan kept an eye on Yi Shang’s health, replenishing her shield in time. Jichuan’s Luban No. 7 madly output from behind, Zhang Yao’s Cai Wenji constantly healed her teammates, and Lin Yue’s Yu Ji used her own immunity to physical damage skill to dodge the enemy assassin’s attacks, providing steady output.

After an intense battle, Yi Shang’s team successfully wiped out the enemy team, and then pushed down the enemy’s crystal, winning the game. “Yay! We won!” Jiang Wan’yuan jumped up and down on the bed excitedly. “Haha, this game was so satisfying, Yi Shang’s command was key.” Jichuan laughed happily. “That’s right, everyone’s teamwork was super awesome!” Zhang Yao said with a smile. Yi Shang showed a faint smile on her face and said softly, “Everyone did great, let’s continue to the next game.”

The second game began, Yi Shang still chose Diao Chan, and Jiang Wan’yuan still chose Yao for support. Jichuan switched to Hou Yi, preparing to deal more damage in this game. Zhang Yao chose Sun Bin, providing the team with speed boosts and silence skills. Lin Yue chose Nakoruru, preparing to deal burst damage in the jungle and team fights.

In the early game, Yi Shang’s Diao Chan and Jiang Wan’yuan’s Yao cooperated well, gaining a certain advantage in the mid lane. Jichuan’s Hou Yi was also farming well in the bottom lane, suppressing the enemy marksman. However, in the mid-game, the enemy suddenly changed their tactics, frequently invading Yi Shang’s team’s jungle, causing Lin Yue’s Nakoruru to be affected. “They keep invading our jungle, I can’t farm.” Lin Yue said anxiously.

Yi Shang thought for a moment and said, “Lin Yue, go leech some minion waves in the lanes to farm up. Jichuan, be careful not to get caught, the rest of us will go ambush them, and find opportunities to catch them.” The others acted according to Yi Shang’s arrangement. Yi Shang and Jiang Wan’yuan ambushed in the bushes that the enemy might pass through, while Zhang Yao prepared to support nearby. When the enemy invaded the jungle again, Yi Shang saw the right opportunity, and Diao Chan instantly struck, Jiang Wan’yuan also followed up with control immediately. Zhang Yao quickly arrived, using Sun Bin’s skills to slow down and silence the enemy. Lin Yue also supported in time, Nakoruru’s series of skills dealt high burst damage. The enemy didn’t expect to be ambushed and was instantly killed by three members.

“Nice one, this ambush was amazing!” Jichuan shouted excitedly. “Haha, let’s see if they dare to invade our jungle again.” Jiang Wan’yuan said happily. Yi Shang said calmly, “Don’t be careless, let’s seize the opportunity to push the towers and expand our advantage.” Yi Shang’s team pushed down multiple enemy defense towers, gradually widening the economic gap.

As the game time progressed, Yi Shang’s team prepared to attack the Dark Slayer. “Everyone be careful, pay attention to the enemy’s movements, don’t let them steal the Slayer.” Yi Shang reminded. The others cautiously approached the Dark Slayer, and after confirming that there were no enemy ambushes, they quickly began to attack. Just as the Dark Slayer’s health was about to reach the bottom, the enemy suddenly flanked from behind. “Not good, they’re here!” Zhang Yao shouted. Yi Shang quickly commanded: “Jiang Wan’yuan, control their back row, Jichuan, Hou Yi, output the Slayer, Lin Yue, Nakoruru, go cut the enemy assassin, Zhang Yao, give us speed boosts and healing.”

Under Yi Shang’s command, everyone performed their respective duties. Jiang Wan’yuan successfully controlled the enemy’s back row, preventing them from outputting. Jichuan’s Hou Yi fully attacked the Dark Slayer, Lin Yue’s Nakoruru charged towards the enemy assassin, killing him with a series of skills. Zhang Yao constantly used her skills on teammates, ensuring the team’s condition. In the end, Yi Shang’s team successfully killed the Dark Slayer, gaining powerful attribute buffs.

With the Dark Slayer’s buff, Yi Shang’s team’s morale was greatly boosted, pushing all the way towards the enemy’s high ground. The enemy desperately defended, but it was difficult to resist Yi Shang’s team’s tacit cooperation and powerful strength. In the end, Yi Shang’s team successfully pushed down the enemy’s crystal again, winning the second game.

“Wow, we won again! I feel like we’re in super good shape today.” Jiang Wan’yuan said happily. “Yeah, this teamwork is getting more and more tacit, let’s continue, continue.” Jichuan said excitedly. “Haha, playing games with you guys is really too much fun.” Zhang Yao said with a smile. Yi Shang also showed a rare smile and said, “Everyone is cooperating better and better, let’s strive to play even better in the next game.”

In the next few games, although Yi Shang’s team also encountered some strong opponents, they still won most of the games with their excellent teamwork and individual skills. Unknowingly, night fell and the lights came on. Jiang Wan’yuan stretched and said, “I had too much fun today, but I’m also a bit tired.” Jichuan responded, “Indeed, today’s game was too satisfying, we’ll come again next weekend.” Zhang Yao and Lin Yue expressed their agreement. Yi Shang looked at the phone screen and said softly, “Okay, let’s continue next week.”
