Chapter 218: Untitled
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With the exception of the red buff in one half of the jungle, he gave up on the other creeps, and instead stayed close to Mo Huaifeng, demonstrating the ADC-jungler team up and would occasionally sneak to the bottom lane to pester the opposing top-laner. ZERO’s top-laner’s head was set spinning by his irregular movements, which left him bewildered.
With regards to this, in their voice chat channel, Mo Huaifeng said, “Not bad, you’ve become smarter.”
At the same time, Mo Huaifeng, who wasn’t in too good a mood because of Xiao’s sudden idiocy in the previous match, had chosen a champion with extremely high damage, his intent to kill very strong. Once he rose to level six, he’d directly finished off the little dragon in the lower half of the jungle, then left Nuo to defend the turret in the top lane while him and Xiao shifted to the middle lane and used a trio group fight gameplay that was commonly seen in bronze ranked games. The gold and number of minions that K had missed at the top lane were all made up for by them.
Commentator A: “Fi-god’s rage in this match has really filled many of Mix battleteam’s flaws, a look at the overall situation right now, other than having the advantage of one more turret at the top lane, ZERO battleteam’s middle and bottom lane have almost sunk into a vulnerable state.”
Commentator B: “ZERO battleteam might have underestimated Mix’s capabilities and Mix is also very forthright. After all Mix battleteam had never lost any of the previous matches too, ZERO was too optimistic.”
Another wave of minions spawned, yet it was completely futile, before they arrived at the middle lane’s turret, they’d already been cleanly divided and shared among Mo Huaifeng, Xiao and Heng. At the bottom lane, the dominance that Mo Huaifeng created remained, Nuo’s ability to defend the turret for a short period of time was still indisputable. In such a situation, it was useless regardless of how good ZERO’s ADC was, as K’s disadvantage in killing less minions and being unable to push down his lane had been completely made up for by the trio in the middle lane, in total they weren’t losing out at all.
ZERO’s jungler was forced to give up on the jungle for the middle lane, meanwhile Mo Huaifeng and Xiao had already shifted once more, arriving at the big dragon’s cave. Mo Huaifeng’s damage was way too high, together with Xiao’s jungling knife, they took down the big dragon almost in a matter of ten over seconds, regardless of how fast ZERO battleteam’s players were, they wouldn’t have made it in time.
Mix gathered behind the big dragon, forging ahead to ZERO’s base through the middle lane.
Nuo stood right at the front, K and Xiao had essentially given up their damage equipment and instead changed to using tank builds to protect Heng and Mo Huaifeng who were right at the end. After a chaotic fight, ZERO’s crystal collapsed.
Second match, Mix battleteam, victorious!
Ji Zhiyao sat under the stage and together with Yuan Wei and the stats analyzer, applauded with all his might.
His teammates were awesome!
The host announced that the result was valid, then the five left the stage. Ji Zhiyao stood up to welcome them, seeing that he had reached out his arms, Mo Huaifeng thought that he wanted to hug him and lifted the corner of his lips but ended up seeing Ji Zhiyao walk past him and giving Xiao a firm hug.
“Brother Xiao, you’re amazing!”
Xiao whispered, “Are you feeling jealous, so you want to kill me?”
“What?”
Xiao pushed his head aside and silently looked behind him.
Ji Zhiyao followed suit and looked in the same direction.
Mo Huaifeng tugged up a corner of his lips, letting out a “heh”.
Ji Zhiyao was suddenly speechless.
He quickly stood at attention and praised with an unchanged countenance, “Of course, although Brother Xiao is really amazing, but what is he after being compared with our Captain? Our Captain’s manner when he unleashed himself in all directions and frightened the enemies was virtually too handsome! One man alone could hold out against ten thousand, who but him could do it...”
Mo Huaifeng did not speak.
“So good looking! I’ve never seen a man this handsome in my entire life!”
The corner of Mo Huaifeng’s lips moved slightly.
Ji Zhiyao racked his brains and suddenly blurted out, “Mummy I want to marry him!”
“Shut up.”
Finally a reaction.
Ji Zhiyao obediently shut his mouth, a look of “I didn’t do anything at all don’t get angry at me” written on his face.
Yuan Wei sighed. “I’ve got no eyes for this.”
The stats analyzer followed. “Oh dear my eyes hurt, I’ve got to find a hospital and get a proper examination to see if I’ve gotten any terminal disease.”
Mo Huaifeng darted a glance at them, the others instantly shifted their gazes elsewhere in a fluster, feigning a manner of not knowing anything at all.
Ji Zhiyao asked, “So can Captain carry me to a win for the next match?”
A very small smile appeared on Mo Huaifeng’s face, but he still said fiercely, “Get lost.”
“Since you’re unwilling, then let’s change it to me carrying you to a win!”
These two people were absolutely cheesy!
The others did not speak, but everyone had the same thought deep down.
The break time passed by quickly, their jungler for the third match was switched from Xiao to Ji Zhiyao.
Once he put on his ear-mic, Ji Zhiyao announced his tactics for today. “I am going to be absolutely sleazy today, don’t any of you stop me!”
Mo Huaifeng: “In what way?”
Ji Zhiyao: “Using my strengths to put up a weak appearance to the enemies, how does that sound, interesting?”
Mo Huaifeng: “Take it easy, this match is on the edge of the cliff, if you go too far, you’ll be waiting for greetings from millions of Chinese people.”
Ji Zhiyao: “Don’t worry, there’s still you if I go too far. As my boyfriend, be prepared to have my back.”
Mo Huaifeng: “It’s not like I’m a nanny.”
Though that was what he said, the audience present in the hall all witnessed Mix’s Captain’s splendid smile that no one knew the reason for.
They all thought that this was a smile of confidence in victory, but after the match began, everyone realized that it wasn’t so.
Mix’s jungler reserve Yao was like a disconnected weakling, his playing today greatly at odds with his previous performance.
Commentator A: “This attack shouldn’t be, according to how Yao personally admitted that he was a speed class player, why didn’t he manage to dodge that strike?”
Commentator B: “Meanwhile he has made another mistake, but it’s fine, he seems to be very lucky, this strike from ZERO’s jungler did not hit him. I wonder if he would be this lucky next time. From this we can see that Yao is completely out of it today, right now he seems to have become Mix battleteam’s breach.”
Commentator A: “Yes, other than the buffs being harvested by the two center positions, everything else in Mix’s jungle has been completely left untouched while Yao has been hanging around in ZERO’s jungle the whole time. Hold on, I suddenly thought of another possibility.”
Commentator B: “I’ve thought of it too. Stealing resources so covertly, ZERO’s jungler does not seem to have figured it out.”
Commentator A: “He is really cunning. Right now, all the resources in ZERO’s left side of the jungle has all fallen into Yao’s hands.”
What the commentators say, the players on the stage are unable to hear. But ZERO’s jungler seemed to have heard and understood something through his voice chat, and his actions gradually slowed down. At one look Ji Zhiyao knew that he had already realized, hence he called it a day, swiftly sneaking back into his jungle and started to harvest all the creeps.
Not just ZERO’s jungler, the whole team opposite was enraged and gathered to come to the jungle to bombard Ji Zhiyao. Ji Zhiyao leisurely wandered and dodged while shouting at the top of his voice, “My god, they’re right in my face, insulting my dignity, don’t all your consciences hurt as you guys watch the show from aside?”
Mo Huaifeng: “Deserving.”
Nuo: “Oh hold it, which one of them would be able to catch you, don’t deny that once you have an advantage.”
Once Nuo the sound of Nuo’s words fell, an ill feeling suddenly grew in Ji Zhiyao, he quickly stopped moving, then saw an arrow come shooting out of a bush, the opposing ADC had hidden inside a bush. Ji Zhiyao released two abilities in his direction then turned on his heels and ran. “Nuo you mutt, find a day and give me your birth characters so I can bring it to a temple to see if you were meant to specially jinx me in this lifetime?”
Nuo shook his crossed legs, as he bent his fingers like an orchid, saying in a soft voice. “Hmph, annoying, I don’t want to.”
Ji Zhiyao shivered and was almost killed by an arrow from the opposing ADC.
Ji Zhiyao: “Can you f*cking shut up from now on!”
Nuo: “I refuse!”
Ji Zhiyao kept quiet for a while, Nuo who thought that he had won the spat happily hummed a tune, before he could keep it up, he realized that Mo Huaifeng had unsure when, shifted from his side and the person who was right before him had become the opposing top-laner.
Nuo shrieked. “Captain, are you still human?”
“Not anymore.”
Nuo: “What the f*ck!”
Although he had let Nuo die, Mo Huaifeng killed off the opposing top-laner without any hesitation after Nuo died. Nuo could not help but be overcome by sorrow. “A kill earned by stepping on my head and fresh blood, Captain have you got any conscience?”
Ji Zhiyao: “Captain already said no, why do you keep asking!”
Nuo: “Shameless couple!”
Ji Zhiyao: “Yeah, does it rub you the wrong way, come hit me then!”
Nuo: “Boohoo!”
After rebutting Nuo, Ji Zhiyao said very seriously into the ear-mic, “Captain don’t you worry, conscience isn’t important at all, regardless of whether you have it or not, I still like you.”
Mo Huaifeng: “Okay.”
Heng smacked his lips. “What’s with the two of you today? Why is there no end to your cheesiness?”
Ji Zhiyao: “Because I calculated after waking up this morning and found that, I’ve been with Captain for two years!”
Mo Huaifeng: “What a coincidence, I calculated too.”
The others gasped back a breath of air and suddenly turned to look towards Ji Zhiyao and Mo Huaifeng uniformly.
What the f*ck?
It’s been two years already?
K was the fastest to react. “Congrats congrats, come brothers, take down ZERO’s mutt head as a keepsake for Captain and NoHomo’s anniversary!”
Heng: “Roger.”
Nuo said reluctantly, “Forget it, forget it, I was initially planning to feed well. In this case, I’ve decided to endure my grievance, come on brothers, burn my calories!”
Hence whether to all the members of ZERO, the commentators or audience, they realized that it was as if everyone in Mix had eaten steroids, as they suddenly upped the pace, their speed of jungling and pushing turrets as fast as the wind, Mo Huaifeng directly charged on for a 1v3 several times... and subsequently settled the big dragon, ZERO was completely unable to fight back. In the midst of the commentator’s surprised shouts, Mix advanced to ZERO’s base triumphantly, followed back the sound effects of Mo Huaifeng’s “double kill”, “triple kill”, “quadra kill”, “penta kill” sounding continuously, ZERO’s crystal was collectively attacked for less than five seconds and collapsed!
At this point, Mix battleteam’s second last group game officially ended!
Though both battleteams had lost the good placing from not earning an accumulated point, Mix was evidently a level above ZERO battleteam.
On their way back to the hotel, the stats analyzer informed everyone that their last group game was three days later.
Opponent, King.
Upon hearing this name everyone could help but feel a wave of despair wash over them, only Xiaofei who wasn’t competing still maintained a riddling confidence. “Isn’t there just a one point difference between King and us? I think we can do this.”
Heng sighed. “It’s been so many years since I saw such a dense kid like you, why must it be the one that belongs to my middle lane?”
“Brother, was I wrong?”
“Of course, you ought to rejoice that this is a game of accumulating points instead of elimination, otherwise we’ll be stopping at this point being in the final four, then we can a few plane tickets at wholesale price and go home together.”
The stats analyzer joined in the conversation. “It’s not so scary, be strong.”
Ji Zhiyao said, “That’s right, as the last and only Chinese battleteam at the international stage, we cannot fall.”
Xiao wasn’t as confident. “King in my eyes? Is as scary as Mount Everest in the eyes of mountain climbers... I have decided, I don’t want to play three days later, NoHomo you go.”
“Big brother, what’s with you again? Rebellious phase?”
“I’m getting old, such an unnerving scene of losing competitions are difficult for me to accept. I still want to live well till I retire, may I trouble all my brothers and sisters to leave me a way out.”
“Excuse me? Then you’ll make me go?”
Grief was written on Xiao’s face. “You’re still young after all.”
Ji Zhiyao rolled his eyes, totally not wanting to bother with the idiot that did not have the drive of a youth.”
When they arrived at the hotel, everyone dispersed. Ji Zhiyao first went to knock on Ji Qingge’s door to ensure that she had not been kidnapped, then returned to his own room. Once he stepped in, he saw Mo Huaifeng at his usual, hugging his laptop and tapping away and was suddenly overwhelmed by sadness, after keeping silent for a while, he said, “Captain, you’ve changed.”
Mo Huaifeng lifted his eyes. “Where have I changed?”
“You deceived me with a passionate, outgoing and bright image, but now, you’re totally a internet-addicted trash who lies in bed everyday being a bohemian man!”
A whole string of adjectives made Mo Huaifeng a little dazed, his expression turned blank for a moment before he said, “Can our manner of interaction be simpler in the future?”
“Huh?”
Mo Huaifeng stood up and started to wear his jacket. “Say that you want to go out when you want to go out to play, why nag so much?”
Ji Zhiyao coughed.
Guilt was plastered all over his face, he thought for a moment, then questioned confidently, “So you actually don’t want to go on a date with me?”
“I do, I especially do, totally do, happy now?” Mo Huaifeng pushed Ji Zhiyao’s head, pushing him down. “Stop b*tching, wear your jacket, let’s go!”
Ji Zhiyao was satisfied then.
Especially when Mo Huaifeng brought him to a restaurant selling very authentic Japanese cuisine, such satisfaction peaked.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ji Zhiyao patted Mo Huaifeng’s back. “You’re not too bad, pal.”
Mo Huaifeng gritted his teeth. “Ji Zhiyao!”
“Bleh! Hit me then!”
Mo Huaifeng pinched his butt.
Ji Zhiyao jumped up and leaped back, the expression on his face was also one of complete disbelief. “What the hell, how could you behave like a hoodlum in public?”
“You told me to.”
Ji Zhiyao was suddenly speechless.
Looking like he’d been choked, Ji Zhiyao blurted out after suppressing it for a long time. “Damn it, I’m done! I want to return to the hotel!”
Mo Huaifeng had already gotten the best of the bargain, hence he replied leisurely, “It’s all up to you.”
Ji Zhiyao instantly became even more angered.
Yet back at the hotel, Mo Huaifeng called him over to tell him about the replay that he watched. Listening to Mo Huaifeng’s voice, Ji Zhiyao anger suddenly dissipated.
I am really a person who is easy to get along with , Ji Zhiyao thought.
...
Three days later.
The last game within group A and also the finale, arrived.
