When I met my first love yesterday, she asked me directly: "What team do you play in Honkai: Star Rail?"
My heart tightened and I panicked: "Just... the one that's been kinda okay lately."
The girl's eyes showed a little interest and asked: "Firefly super break team?"
I quickly explained in a low voice: "No."
"Then it must be Acheron team? She is such a queen." "No..."
"Well, is it FUA team then? That's a pretty great team too!" The girl was very interested.
"No, I..." I didn't dare to look up, and my toes were curled towards to the ground, and I wanted to drill through the floor.
"Quantum team? Hmm I get why it's hard for you to bring it up now..." The girl was surprised.
These days, it is rare to find players who are willing to play unpopular and weak teams. They either have terrible understanding of the game, or there is something wrong with their heads; pitiful.
Feeling her concerned look at me, my body trembled violently like a leaf. I felt my cheeks burning up and started to get dizzy. I was sweating profusely, holding down my shaking legs tightly, clenching my teeth, and using the last bit of strength to squeeze out a few words from my throat: "No, no!" ⁡
Although the sound was thin and soft, like a needle dropped in the noisy dance floor, I am sure that this was the loudest volume I could muster at this moment.
As soon as I said this, the girl changed her expression instantly. She seemed to be unable to believe what I just said. Her expression was solemn.
After a long pause, she spoke: "So... what is the team that you are actually playing? I mentioned all the good teams in the game no?"
Every word in the girl's sentences was like a huge hammer hitting hard, pummeling my fragile heart again and again. ⁡ I was stunned for a long time. My soul was tormented by her question continuously.
Finally, I couldn't hold it anymore, and the tears of grievance squeezed out stubbornly from the corners of my eyes: "I, I play DoT..."
When they heard DoT, the originally hectic surroundings suddenly became quiet, leaving only the whimpering sound of my sniffling.
I felt the pity from the people around me, as if they saw a poor orphan dragging his weak body along the street to beg. The gazes made me feel uneasy. I covered my face tightly and lowered my head, not daring to let others see my miserable appearance.
⁡My face was washed by tears at this time. I tightly hugged the leg of the girl who was about to leave with both hands and refused to let go.
Life is a circus, and I am the clown. The crowd is surely enjoying this farce.
But I still shouted with all my strength, trying to defend myself: "The damage is just a little bit lower! So what?! It's not completely unplayable! The future will be promising! The developers will surely provide a suitable environment for DoT to shine soon!"
