Chapter 17
If
Qiao Yanzhou had been playing solo, he wouldn’t
really be afraid to face a world champion in a match. At worst he
would only be losing one game, and if he were lucky, he might have
even had
a chance to solo kill a professional player.
But what’s
giving him a headache is that Gu Zixing is
playing alongside him. Qiao Yanzhou thinks ,
‘What
happens if Gu Zixing no longer wants to play with him after he throws
this game?’
On the other
hand, Gu Zixing apparently is not worrying a bit. He confidently
leaves the base right after getting his items.
Qian Yanzhou
follows him, walking towards the ally side of the jungle.
Gu Zixing walks
back and forth before deciding to play it safe
by
placing a ward at the river. Coincidentally, he also sees
an enemy walking by from the other side of the river.
Qiao Yanzhou
panics and curses, “What the fuck…”
“As our jungler
will be starting from the Raptors’ camp, the enemies won’t be
invading because it’s near the mid lane,” Gu Zixing says, sensing
Qiao Yanzhou’s nerves. He adds, after thinking for a moment, “Let’s
help the jungler with the red buff.”
The ally jungler
champion, Warwick, is one of the typical “bloodthirsty” jungling
champions in LoL. But after being nerfed in this new patch, the good
ol’ Warwick is gone, and players hardly see Warwick anymore on the
Rift.
After helping out
with the red buff, Qiao Yanzhou and Gu Zixing move towards the bot
lane, commencing an exciting laning phase.
Yuan Yaoleng
plays the champion, Jhin, while being supported by Rakan. The duo is
considered to be strong during this phase
and also a popular bot lane pick in the current patch.
“After
finishing up these minions, I’ll teach you how to kill Leng-Leng in
ten minutes,” Gu Zixing says calmly. Hearing this, it catches Qiao
Yanzhou up in a whirlwind of emotions.
“Get Guinsoo’s
as your first item. Tell me when you have it.”
“A’ight,
a’ight.”
Qiao Yanzhou
gets pumped up. To have a chance at solo
killing the world champion, he would gladly get not just one, but ten
Guinsoo’s!
As for Yao
Yuanleng, although he knows that he will be facing LoL’s king of
the mid
lane, Gu Zixing, he is no weakling in this game.
“The mid lane
may be Gu Zixing’s turf, but not the bot lane,” Yao Yuanleng
muses.
Holding this
thought, Yao Yuanleng continues his usual daring and aggressive play
style in the game.
True to his nickname, whilst
Yao Yuanleng is usually rather dense in life, he transforms into a
different person when he games.
His fearless and merciless playstyle leads people to wonder whether
he has been playing dumb all this time.
“Push the
minion wave further,” Gu Zixing says, helping Qiao Yanzhou hit
minions that might otherwise have been missed. “Don’t miss too
many CS.”
“A’ight.”
Apparently, Gu
Zixing does not want to disrespect his opponents.
“We are at a
disadvantage at level five, so just focus on farming,” Gu Zixing
says
while placing a ward at the nearby tri-bush.
“Look at him.”
Gu Zixing marks Yuan Yaoleng’s position and says, “He always
unconsciously takes a step back after his fourth shot during the
reload.”
Qiao Yanzhou gets
pumped up after hearing this. “Why! Are we gonna take this chance
to gank with the jungler and kill him?”
“I meant that
you can take this chance to kill a few more minions.”
“……”
Qiao Yanzhou
knows that he is getting overeager.
But it is understandable. What are the chances for someone like him
to solo kill a world champion? He’s gonna kick himself if he
doesn’t seize this opportunity.
“The enemy’s
jungler is coming,” Gu Zixing reminds Qiao Yanzhou, before
casting the Grasping Roots towards the bush nearby.
Qiao Yanzhou
thinks Gu Zixing is only forcing the jungler to move, but to his
surprise, Gu Zixing actually manages to snare an
enemy who has been hiding in the bush waiting for a chance to make an
ambush.
“Oh my god!
You got lucky!” Qiao Yanzhou
exclaims.
“Let’s keep
him here for a while longer, since
our jungler is stealing their blue buff.” Gu Zixing is starting to
get unusually serious as he ignores Qiao Yanzhou’s quip.
Qiao Yanzhou does
not utter another word and places a trap at the feet of the jungler.
The support flies towards their jungler using skill E as he gets
snared for the second time,
giving him a double shield as he cast on him twice. However, the
jungler still loses a third of his health as Qiao Yanzhou triggers
his passive ability that gives a critical strike.
Although he
receives a few bullets from Yuan Yaoleng’s champion, Jhin, Qiao
Yanzhou successfully pressures the jungler into retreating.
Qiao Yanzhou
assumes the attack has ended, but Gu Zixing has a different idea.
He chases for the enemy jungler and happens to meet
the ally jungler, Warwick, walking towards them with the stolen blue
buff, looking confident and fearless.
Qiao Yanzhou
quickly follows up. Yuan Yaoleng and his support, Rakan, also rushes
towards their jungler.
Though the situation is dire, they do not want to leave him in the
lurch.
However, nobody
thinks that Gu Zixing is merely creating a diversion: as he is
chasing the enemy jungler, he suddenly turns around and casts the
Grasping Roots towards the bot laners who are coming for their
jungler.
“Get’em.”
Gu Zixing speaks
calmly as he swiftly places two seeds and casts skill Q to activate
them. They turn into plants that fire poisonous purple thorns towards
the snared enemy ADC. He then immediately hurls a few basic attacks.
When the snare
time is over, Yao Yuanleng places a lotus trap (which can slow down
enemies when stepped on) and quickly retreats towards the tower.
But the trap is
not enough to drive Gu Zixing, a difficult and annoying opponent,
away. Although it is said that Yuan Yaoleng is an aggressive player,
the truth is,
Gu Zixing is even more aggressive than he is.
Just as Yuan
Yaoleng is backing off,
Gu Zixing reaches level 6. He casts his Ultimate skill after
flashing forward, snapping the enemy ADC and support within her
twisted thicket.
The enemy
support, with a depleting mana level, manages to provide a shield for
his ADC. But the effect of a level one skill is limited. After two
seconds, his ADC is being knocked upward within the large circle of
twisted thicket under the tower. Qiao Yanzhou is finally in range and
gives Yuan Yaoleng a headshot.
The shield on
Yuan Yaoleng is already gone and Yuan Yaoleng’s health bar finally
diminishes.
First blood!
“NICE!” Qiao
Yanzhou yells even before the word “blood” is being announced.
“You better
watch out the next time you see Leng-Leng.”
Gu Zixing’s
composed and rational voice reminds Qiao Yanzhou that this is not the
time to be too happy.
“He bears
grudges.”
Qiao Yanzhou
feels a chill down his spine after hearing what Gu Zixing says.
“What should I
do then!”
“Well, you’re
responsible for your own actions.” Gu Zixing is apathetic towards
his situation.
“Why do I look
up to someone like you…”
“Pardon?”
“Siler is so
cool today! As always!”
“……”
The small team
fight gives Qiao Yanzhou and Gu Zixing an edge at the bot lane and
more breathing space to survive their
weaker, early laning phase.
Yuan Yaoleng does
not allow the same thing to happen twice, having become extra careful
after respawning, keeping his mana level constantly at three-quarters
during the laning phase.
“I’m
recalling to get some items. Be careful not to be killed under the
turret,” Gu Zixing warns him and adds, “Be good.”
Hm, dying
under the turret… that shouldn’t happen. Qiao Yanzhou
grumbles but decides to retreat under the turret.
Yuan Yaoleng
realizes that Gu Zixing is absent and pushes the minion wave towards
Qiao Yanzhou decisively and quickly.
Qiao Yanzhou
suddenly has an ominous feeling about this, sensing a large army
marching his way.
At that moment,
Qiao Yanzhou notices someone lurking behind him,
who is using his skill Q to mark him under his tower.
Shit, I’m
dead for sure.
Qiao Yanzhou
tries to compose himself. Apparently, there are three enemies
surrounding him.
Are they
thinking of diving the turret?
Qiao Yanzhou’s
thought turns into reality in the next second,
as the enemy jungler, Lee Sin, kicks him towards the ADC and support.
In that instant,
Qiao Yanzhou feels as though he is watching a classic scene from a
high school bullying story in Anime
– where a group of people corner someone and beat him up.
Yes, that is what
is happening to him right now.
Just as Qiao
Yanzhou is about to give up struggling against these bullies, he
suddenly has a flash back to what Gu Zixing said earlier: “I’m
gonna get some items, don’t get caught baby, be good~ ”
AHHHHHHH!
Qiao Yanzhou
suddenly transforms into a mad dog after remembering what Gu Zixing
said. He flashes back into the turret and places a trap at the feet
of the support.
This flash
surprises all three enemies, as it
unexpectedly messes up their plan to rotate
taking the turret shots. The support takes two shots and is unable to
give himself a shield.
Qiao Yanzhou
seizes the opportunity and, with the fastest moving speed, hits the
support with two basic attacks before placing another trap for the
ADC. However, Yuan Yaoleng finally manages to kill Qiao Yanzhou after
the death of his support.
You have slain
an enemy!
You have been
slain!
Worth!
Qiao Yanzhou
stares at the screen, feeling extremely satisfied with his top-notch
performance as he exchanges one kill for his own life.
“Siler-sama!
How’s that! I actually killed the support in a three-man dive!”
“Huh?”
“Are you
marvelling at my god-like mechanics!”
“Uh, I went out
for a while because the manager called me. Why are you dead?”
“……”
“Who killed
you?”
“……”
“Hm?”
“……”
“I’ll find
that out myself.”
“It’s Rio!”
Qiao Yanzhou cries in exasperation. Gu Zixing actually missed the
perfect display of his exceptional mechanics!
Gu Zixing
chuckles, seemingly to understand
Qiao Yanzhou’s feelings.
“Hey, it’s
okay. I’m sure I’ll get to see it
again in the future. Now, let me avenge you.”
“……”
“Alright?”
“……”
“C’mon.”
“……”
“Hm?”
“……”
“Pwetty
please~”
Is he treating
me like a baby…
Qiao Yanzhou
decides to keep this thought to himself after staying silent for a
while.
