Chapter 162: A Big Comeback!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the twenty fifth match, it was not certain who Lady Luck had gone off on a date with, but she was definitely not with Yu Luocheng anymore.

This was reality, and it was a fact that when you ranked, you wouldn’t always be able to meet reliable teammates. There were times when you would meet teammates who were tilted or teammates who couldn’t farm properly…

They had already lost three kills at level one, and the three kills were taken by the opponent’s Mid, Top and ADC.

The person who got the initial advantage would most likely be able to snowball, and if they were not careful, that would set the pace for a losing game for them.

At top lane, the opponent was Lee Sin against Xin Zhao. After getting three hundred gold from the assist kills, he had bought an Elixir of Fortitude immediately and had managed to pressure Xin Zhao. Xin Zhao couldn’t even retaliate and if he wasn’t careful, he would give a double kill to Lee Sin.

Luckily, this Xin Zhao was smart and he was building defense and tank items. At this rate he would still be useful in late game fights.

At the mid lane, Orianna had been pressured by the opponent Syndra to the point that she didn’t dare to leave the tower. Syndra had claimed first blood and once she hit level six, as long as she could land a stun, she would definitely be able to kill Orianna with one combo.

Orianna had also been careless, already having been solo-killed twice, and she was heading toward a downward spiral.

Following the gap which continued to widen between the teams, the atmosphere in the house became heavier. Xiao Bei, Lin Dong and Yang Qianqian didn’t dare to open their mouths to speak at all.

Bottom lane wasn’t doing too well either, even with Luocheng using Graves. With the other lanes lost, the opponent Jungler kept roaming at the bottom lane, constricting Graves’ growth. Although the Support had been warding for vision control, they were still unable to do much when four of the opponents came to the bot to push and kill.

The score was now three against twelve, with the top lane tower destroyed and the mid lane tower almost down. There was a heavy sense of foreboding and helplessness when they were only fifteen minutes into the game and they had already suffered such heavy losses.

“I’m going for a smoke…” Lin Dong said heavily.

“Me…me too.” Xiao Bei said, following him out.

Xiao Bei didn’t smoke, but watching how the bot lane kept getting ganked and pressured, he couldn’t breath through the heavy pressure.

If it was just a small gap, it would be fine, but the difference right now was just too great.

Surrender at twenty, his teammates had already written in the chat.

Was this how they would lose the twenty-fifth match?

They had been playing non-stop these few days and Luocheng had not slept for three days to break this twenty five consecutive win record. It looked like God didn’t really care for him, letting him face such a bad match on the twenty-fifth match. To turn it around was really, really hard.

Xiao Bei and Lin Dong walked out to the walkway and Lin Dong shook his head.

“This is some bad luck…”

“Yeah, Luocheng was doing really well…” Xiao Bei replied.

Lighting a cigarette, Lin Dong leaned against the balcony as he pulled his cap down. Looking into the distance, seeing the university and the students coming in and out of it, Lindon smiled bitterly.

“Hey Xiao Bei, have you ever thought about studying in a university?”

“Lin Dong, you’ve got to be kidding me. I didn’t even complete my secondary school education, how would I be able to study in a university?” Xiao Bei said.

“Just hypothetically, if you could choose? Would you rather be a professional e-sports player, or would you prefer to be a university student with a brighter future?” Lin Dong asked.

“I’d still prefer to be a professional e-sports player.” Xiao Bei replied.

“It’s going to be a tough road to take. Just like how Luocheng is fighting in this match, even if you tried harder, it will be hard to save you from this.”

“Luocheng will turn it around.” Xiao Bei said confidently.

Lin Dong shook his head, Xiao Bei had always had this unwavering confidence in Luocheng and worshipped him unrelentlessly. This match was most definitely a loss and it was hard to change anything about it.

***

Qianqian sat at the side as she watched the scores on the screen, her heart beating faster in panic. Luocheng was concentrating on the match, his demeanor different than his usual carefree and laid back attitude. He had had this same look during the LeCheng final match, but he had still lost in the end.

She didn’t really understand why but at that moment when he had stood from his chair, taking off his headphones and smiling bitterly, her chest had tightened uncontrollably.

If the effort of the past few days were to crumble because of this game, she would definitely cry for Luocheng’s desperate struggle that had only led to a loss. They had been suffering for three days and three nights, and they were only lacking two more matches, life really was cruel.

“Ah!”

A scream echoed out, when Janna went to ward the Baron, she was hit by two ultis and instantly killed.

It was a completely heart-wrenching sight to see.

***

“Go for the Baron, they don’t have their ultis!” Luocheng typed in swiftly, informing his teammates.

Two ultis from the opponent team had been used to kill their Support and they were also taking the Baron, this was a great opportunity to turn this game around. As long as Orianna could pull off a beautiful ulti—Shockwave!

It seemed their thoughts were the same, and Orianna threw a shield on Xin Zhao as soon as she saw that their opponents were standing quite close to one another.

Xin Zhao was a meat tank and he didn’t hesitate to rush in, right into the fray!

Magic Ball, Shockwave!

Xin Zhao became the best mobile enabler for Orianna. You could see the sharp rotation from the Magic Ball, forcing their opponents who had been hitting the Baron to be pulled in!

Luocheng’s reaction was faster, he clearly had confidence that Orianna and Xin Zhao could pull off this move. When Xin Zhao rushed in, he immediately activated Quickdraw and released his ulti once Orianna had pulled the three opponents in!

Buckshot!

Bang!

The three bullets slammed right into the opponents faces, spraying blood everywhere!

Collateral Damage!

Bang bang!

The bursting red bullet shot out from the barrel, impacting the opponents with a terrifying explosion, stunning the entire area!

Graves’ damage was endless, he had the best items out of the entire team!

With Orianna and Graves’ skills shots, they instantly managed to take out the opponent ADC and AP in the commotion!

The ADC and AP were the core of the team, and with them out of the picture, the opponents fell into disarray!

Double Kill!

Triple Kill!

Quadra Kill!

The system announcement of the quadra kill was powerful, filled with madness and enveloped the entire arena!

Ace!

The entire team was wiped out!

Their opponents were dead and they had even gotten the Baron in one fell swoop! Their income was stabilized and the best thing was they had gotten their momentum back!

Xin Zhao’s decisive assault, Orianna’s shield and her ulti, and Graves’ damage and final assault was really the perfect combo. Even the opponent’s team typed ‘LOL’ in the all-chat, expressing their surprise.

Qianqian’s face immediately broke out into a bright smile when she saw the turnaround. Looking at Luocheng’s face which had eased into a more relaxed expression, she felt the strength and dominance he displayed gave off a different kind of charm which fascinated her.
