Chapter 7: Hero Selection and... Galen Mid Lane

  With Burits joining, Shiraha's team of five is now complete and they can officially participate in the Five-Man Black Fight.

  In No. 12 Newbie Small Town, all kinds of streets and house buildings are just preparation and rest areas. To participate in a match, you need to go to the Arena in the center of the small town.

  On the way to the arena, Britz learned through conversation that Bai Jian Ruo Xue and the other three were close friends in the real world outside of the game. The three boys were roommates from the same university, while Bing Ling Xue was Bai Jian Ruo Xue's cousin. The four had often gathered together to play games due to their shared hobby, and since the release of "League of Legends: Full Sensory Edition", they had all registered accounts in the Judgment Realm district to form a team and play together.

  However, in the game, even if they didn't know each other in reality, they would still respect each other's personal privacy. The four of them, including White Edge and Empty Hand, did not ask Blitz about his real-life information, which made Blitz, who was suddenly transported to the game world by Varoland's heart, secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

  However, when it comes to things in the game, these new acquaintances are all very tight-lipped.

  "Abu, how did you get this 'rusty' skin? It's so cool......" Chún Liáng Xiǎo Tiě Máo looked up and down at Burit?su's rusty steel body with envy.

  "Ah ah ah, Abu, what special heroic achievement did you complete to get that? Tell us about it——" The melancholic sweet potato was also watching with extreme envy on the side.

  Even Ling Xue and Snow couldn't help but look at him with a curious expression:

  "I've been playing this game for six or seven days, and I've only seen one player dressed as Ryze with a special skin. As for the hero's special achievements, the official website of the game hasn't revealed anything at all, but it must be very difficult to complete an achievement?"

  Faced with the questions of his three companions, Burrits was speechless, knowing that even if he told the truth, no one would believe him. So he could only scratch his head awkwardly and say vaguely:

  "It's...it's fine..."

  Fortunately, at this time, Baijian Ruokong, as the team leader, timely exerted his authority and helped it out of trouble.

  "Alright, alright! This is Abu's personal secret, so stop asking one by one - besides, even if you knew what it was, could you accomplish it?"

  "Just curious and asking casually..." Yīng Líng said with a pout. However, seeing Bùlǐcí's embarrassed expression, the others tactfully stopped asking further questions.

  But after a while, the five of them arrived at the arena located in the center of the small town.

  The arena is a magnificent Western-style domed building, covering an area of over 20,000 square meters, equivalent to the size of three football fields. Upon entering the arena, one's eyes are met with a vast and spacious competition hall, which can accommodate thousands of players without feeling crowded.

  On the floor of the arena, which was paved with green square stone slabs, a 1-meter-high black square stone pedestal stood every five meters. The top of the pedestal was inlaid with a crystal that emitted soft and colorful light.

  Burrits noticed that whenever a player placed their palm on the seven-colored crystal inlaid at the top of the black stone pedestal, they would instantly turn into a beam of light and disappear from the hall.

  This is... and... Varolan's Heart... the previous effect... somewhat like...

  Bryce couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "Alright, others are working hard to level up. We can't fall behind, let's quickly find a competition arena and start fighting!" - Bai Jian entered the empty space with a face full of enthusiasm and battle spirit, rallying everyone.

  Then, the five of them found an unoccupied competitive stone platform in a corner of the hall, and Bai Jing entered first, placing his palm on the crystal emitting seven-colored light.

  "Hurry up, everyone put your hands together." He urged.

  Then, including Britz, all four of them stretched out their hands and placed them on the crystal.

  The next moment, a soft female voice echoed in Britz's mind:

  "Scan complete, players 'White Blade Enters the Void', 'Pure and Innocent Little Halberd', 'Melancholy Beet', 'Ice Spirit Snow', and 'Bultz' have formed a team of five. Confirm entry into battle room?"

  Is it... confirmation... or something?

  Burrits hesitated for a moment, then tentatively thought in his mind "confirmed".

  The next moment, it found itself enveloped in a seven-colored light.

  The five people all turned into several rays of light and disappeared in front of the black competition stone platform.

  ……

  When the colorful light in front of him dissipated, Burrits found himself standing in a vast expanse of twinkling stars.

  And in front of it, Baijian Rushuangshou, Chunliang Xiaotie, Youyuzi Tiancai and Bingling Xue stood face to face with themselves, the five people forming a pentagram formation standing in mid-air.

  Here... again... what place is this?

  Bulitz felt that today was already the nth time he had encountered a situation that he couldn't understand at all. Just as he was in a daze, the gentle female voice from before sounded again beside his ear:

  "Enter the battle preparation room, players call out the hero panel to select the heroes to go into battle, preparation time is 120 seconds, countdown starts——"

  Suddenly, in the center of the five-pointed star formation where the five people were standing, a number "120" emitting pure white light slowly appeared in mid-air and changed into "119", "118"... with the passage of time.

  As for this scene, the four-man squad except Britz seemed to have already gotten used to it.

  "So, which heroes will you choose?"

  As captain, Shirabe Inukai asks for opinions from his teammates.

  Bingling Xue stretched out her slender jade hand, seemingly conjuring up the heroic panel. In the air in front of her, a series of swift and precise strokes appeared, followed by a soft "tsk" sound as she pouted her small mouth and said:

  "This week's free heroes I haven't used any of them, so I'll just use Ashe, the Frost Archer."

  White Blade entered Empty Hand, nodding slightly, his gaze shifted towards Pure and Honest Little Iron Spear:

  "How about you?"

  Similarly, on his own hero panel, a good little iron spear swooped and swiped, with a big open hand:

  "There's no other hero I find satisfactory, so I'll just continue using my prince."

  "I'm also using Zhaoxin." The melancholic genius chimed in from the side.

  Finally, White Blade's gaze fell on Blitz.

  "Abu, why don't you summon the hero panel and take a look? Or are you just going to use this robot hero?"

  Hero... panel?

  Buluo rubbed his head, trying to manipulate it in his mind, and indeed a virtual panel that only he could see floated in front of him.

  However, on its hero panel interface, it is empty, with only a square portrait depicting its own appearance standing alone in the interface.

  "Hmm... I'll use... robots..."

  While responding like this, Burits felt a bit awkward in his heart: Why call it "use" robot, isn't it itself... Can't it become someone else?

  Just as Blitz was muttering to himself, White Edge began analyzing the lineup of his own squad:

  "Hmm... Abu's robot and Xiaoxue's ice shooter are going down the road, Aqiu and Tiancai are going up the road, but we still lack a mid laner mage. The question is who will play the mid laner mage..."

  He was lost in thought, his hand on his chin, when he looked up to see his companions staring at him. He pointed to himself and exclaimed:

  "Whoa, let me take on Zhongdan Fa Shi?"

  "Nonsense, it's just you left now——" The pure-hearted Xiao Tie said with a roll of his eyes.

  "Alright, Old White, the arduous task of mid lane is all yours now—" Wistful Sweet Potato patted the shoulder of White Blade with a face full of encouragement.

  "But... I didn't buy a mage-type hero..." Bai Jian's empty-handed gesture looked somewhat embarrassed, and he immediately called out his own hero panel with a swipe: "This week's free heroes only have Morgana the Fallen Angel and Brand the Burning Vengeance among mages, but I don't know how to play either of these two heroes..."

  As he spoke, White Edge inserted into the empty hand and casually clicked on his own hero panel. With a dazzling seven-colored light flashing over him, in the next moment, Galen's magnificent armor and heavy sword were replaced by a flame-covered body emitting thick sulfur fumes. A faint red glow seemed to be bursting out of his chest, and his head and hands each had an additional cluster of blazing yellow flames.

  Revenge Flame Soul - Brand!

  Bulitz stared blankly at the side, feeling that the processing core of his brain's system was about to overload and crash again.

  How... all of a sudden... it... became Brand again...

  With a flicker, Baijian's outfit changed into that of a hero, and he waved the fiercely burning flames in his hand with a flourish. He then shook his head: "Forget it, I've never played this hero before, and I've heard it's not easy to operate either. I won't use it."

  As they spoke, another seven-colored light burst forth from his body. The next moment, a pair of enormous purple-black wings unfolded elegantly from behind him. A mass of purple flames emitting an aura of the underworld rose from the palm of White Blade's right hand.

  Mo... Mo Ganna... became... a man...

  Bulitz was completely stunned and couldn't say a word.

  "Ah, Morgana this hero I won't... forget it, let's just not choose the mage then." Finally, White Edge returned to his original form of Galen with heavy armor and a greatsword, speaking to several companions.

  "You won't choose a law master...... then what about our mid laner?" Pure Good Little Iron Spear asked with furrowed brows.

  Baijian entered with an empty hand, heard the words, and smiled slightly. He swung his magnificent heavy sword in his hand, with a heroic and majestic appearance:

  "Don't worry - you guys just take care of your own affairs and I'll handle the middle!"

  "Watch me play Galio mid lane - I'll blow up the entire game!"

  The plot estimate failed... It seems that the next chapter will be "Let's form a first-class team"... Everyone is very supportive... The 40 votes needed for an update have arrived in the blink of an eye... However, I have an exam tomorrow and need to review at night... I'll try to update two chapters after the exam tomorrow. Anyway, I won't forget about the extra updates. Hope everyone continues to support me!
