BVAHEDLA[W Chapter 11
by VolareChu Li-fei felt his heartbeat stop as if at that moment, he even forgot to breathe for a second.
But the game wasn’t over!
MU held on!
A miracle-like escape from death.
Chu Li-fei finally let out a long breath, a hint of admiration flashing between his brows.
In this wave of base defense, everyone on the MU team performed remarkably. Yu Qing, the support, timely activated Interference and a crucial shield. Xu Zhi-lin, the marksman, seized the opportunity to knock out the opponent’s Resurrection Armor. Zhang Zi-fan and Luo Qi initiated team fights, tanking damage and supplementing damage output, and Lu Mo-chen secured key kills.
It could be said that lacking any one of them, they wouldn’t have found the only way out of that near-death situation.
However, the match continued.
TY was still waiting to respawn, but only Lu Mo-chen and Luo Qi remained alive on MU’s side.
They didn’t have much time. Luo Qi stayed at home to clear the minion wave, while Lu Mo-chen tried to steal a tower while TY was wiped out.
Unfortunately, he only had time to take down TY’s last high ground tower.
TY’s members successively respawned, and Lu Mo-chen had to retreat.
With that, both sides had their three high ground towers taken down.
They were all waiting, waiting for a chance for a decisive battle – the Storm Dragon King at 20 minutes.
But before that, they had to push out the minion waves.
The damage from 20-minute super minions was quite high. If they were “accidentally” caught off guard by super minions stealing their base while fighting the dragon, they could just retire on the spot.
As soon as the 20-minute mark hit, the map scene in the game began to change, giving off a sense of an impending storm.
This time, the Storm Dragon King spawned in the dragon pit closer to MU’s jungle.
Lu Mo-chen’s eyes turned cold. This time, he would not fail!
Both sides rushed up at the same time, and along with the Dragon King’s HP disappearing, so did the kills on both sides.
Resurrection Armor for Blade of the Fated, Golden Body for Resurrection Armor, everyone was trying to stay alive longer and deal more damage.
The scene became more and more intense, and the commentator couldn’t help but be excited: “Several Resurrection Armors have already been used on the field, and the Storm Dragon King’s HP is still decreasing!”
Punish fell again at the same time!
“MU got the Dragon King!” The commentator’s voice grew louder and louder, almost shouting, “But the remaining three members of MU are all low on health. TY hasn’t retreated! Are they planning to leave MU behind while under the Dragon King buff?”
TY team was also down to only three members at this time, just like MU. Obviously, they were planning to go all in!
From the God’s perspective, that is, the blue side’s perspective, the location of the dragon pit was close to the top lane, which was obviously unfavorable for MU to retreat. Moreover, the minion wave on MU’s bottom lane didn’t look good.
In the end, the two sides reached a two-for-two trade, leaving only the two junglers on the field.
At this moment, their Resurrection Armors had long been used up, and their Blades of the Fated were still on cooldown.
This was the last chance!
In the previous two-for-two exchange, A Fei withdrew from the battle with his displacement skills, but Lu Mo-chen’s Mindless Wanderer’s displacement skills didn’t have as much distance as A Fei’s, so he had to give up chasing.
But now, A Fei disappeared from the map.
Intuition told Lu Mo-chen that A Fei must be trying to forcibly destroy their crystal!
The Mindless Wanderer had less than half health left. If he faced A Fei and the super minions head-on, he might not win.
He shifted his gaze to the middle lane, where a red wave of super minions was constantly moving forward.
Attack? Or defend?
There was no time to hesitate, he had to make a choice.
Through his headset, Lu Mo-chen could still vaguely hear the roar of the crowd in the stadium, but he felt more calm than ever before.
Sure enough, when he brought the minion wave under TY’s crystal, A Fei reappeared on the map. And his location was exactly as Lu Mo-chen had thought!
After four minutes, MU’s crystal had recovered a lot of health. But TY’s crystal was still at full health!
But Lu Mo-chen still had the Dragon minions and the Dragon King buff. In that case, he would bet on it once!
Lu Mo-chen directly sold some of his equipment and changed it to attack speed equipment. Both sides wished they could click faster.
The health of both sides’ crystals was decreasing, and soon it reached the bottom.
Lu Mo-chen swung the last strike, the game ended!
But the winner wasn’t them.
The screen paused, and the scene slowly moved to MU’s red crystal. The red crystal shattered, and the huge words “Defeat” suddenly appeared on the screen.
In the end, TY won the final game. This time, there were no more miracles.
Commentator: “Let’s congratulate TY team on winning this game! And also winning this match!”
Cheers crowned the victors, while the defeated could only leave with regret.
The words [TY 3:2 MU] appeared on the screen, and Lu Mo-chen seemed to not have reacted yet.
His eyes were slightly red, filled with sadness, regret… and flickering with fear.
He lost this game and disappointed Chu Li-fei’s trust in him. Would that person be disappointed in him?
He was immersed in these complex emotions, and even forgot how he shook hands with TY’s people and left the stage.
Lu Mo-chen was the last one to step into the lounge, and the atmosphere inside was indescribably heavy.
A footstep sounded, as if stepping on the tip of his heart, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and he became more and more nervous. Soon, a pair of familiar black leather shoes appeared in front of him.
Lu Mo-chen’s eyes flickered, and he stammered, “I let you down.”
Hearing this, Chu Li-fei was stunned for a moment, then he hugged Lu Mo-chen tightly, rubbed his head, and tried to give him some comfort.
“No, you did great.”
The people next to him couldn’t sit still when they heard this. Yu Qing pretended to be angry and gently pushed Lu Mo-chen: “What are you talking about? If you’ve disappointed the captain, then wouldn’t I just have to commit seppuku.”
Luo Qi followed up, “Yu Qing is right, TY is originally a strong team, and besides, our MU has had a lot of personnel changes this season, and you’re still a rookie. It’s already great that you could play like this in the last game.”
Zhang Zi-fan: “That’s right, in the dragon pit at the end, if I hadn’t been standing so far forward, maybe I could have survived and defended the base for another wave. If that were the case, we would have been the winners.”
Xu Zhi-lin saw that they had said everything, and didn’t know what to say for a moment, so he just nodded heavily.
Chu Li-fei watched them bickering from afar, and was not discouraged by this failure. After thinking about it, he slightly lowered his eyes.
Some things, it’s better not to let them know.
The online discussions about the battle between TY and MU were already high, not to mention that they used a rare lineup in the match point game. It would be fine if they won, but if they lost…
He didn’t care. In the last days in the cultivation world, he was hiding everywhere every day, and he had heard all kinds of harsh words.
Only…
He raised his eyes and looked at the people in front of him, and finally turned his gaze back to Lu Mo-chen, who was finally smiling through his tears.
Moreover, the best way to shut those people up is to slap their faces with victory, right?
They still had many opportunities.
Chu Li-fei locked his phone and then led them away.
The next day, another thing attracted everyone’s attention.
“Fight For What” launched a new hero, positioned as an assassin, named Son of the Devil.
Its skill settings also had a demonic feel, the more people there were, the higher the damage, just like the bloodthirsty demons in many myths.
For this reason, all the teams began to work overtime to study it, researching builds, gameplay ideas, suitable teammates, and so on. There were also many streamers and up-loaders analyzing it online.
Chu Li-fei’s hand had been getting better recently, so he also planned to try it out. It’s just that on the first day the new hero was launched, the people who played it were either godlike or terrible, so one out of every three games could get banned.
Late at night, Chu Li-fei leaned against the sofa on the first floor, with a take-out meal that he had barely eaten a few bites of, but had already turned cold, on the table in front of him.
Chu Li-fei took a sip of the cola that the store had given him, and his phone suddenly “buzzed,” indicating he had been matched with people.
He hurriedly took a sip and put down the cola, and clicked confirm.
He was on the first floor this game. He came up and immediately pre-selected the Demon Hunter, and sent out his 100% win rate record, which saved him from the tragic fate of the Demon Hunter being banned directly.
He had queued for 5 games today, but had only played the Demon Hunter once.
However, he was happy too early.
Two more people below started arguing because of positions, and it just so happened that one had a high win rate and the other had high combat power.
The two of them came up and first deducted a bunch of question marks.
In the end, the person on the 3rd floor chose the hero first, and the person on the 5th floor had to take a support with hatred.
Nothing happened at the beginning of the game, Chu Li-fei started with a blue buff as usual, farmed the jungle, ganked people, and took the dragon.
Who knew that after 5 minutes, the channel started arguing again.
It turned out that the marksman on the 3rd floor was complaining that the support on the 5th floor was exposing vision, and also not tanking damage. And the person on the 5th floor complained that the marksman on the 3rd floor had poor awareness, charging in to give away kills as soon as they saw someone.
The two of them started arguing directly in the channel.
Chu Li-fei directly turned off the in-game text messages.
However, from the constant voice broadcasts, it could be known that the fight between these two people had not ended.
Their economy was getting lower and lower, so Chu Li-fei simply ignored them, and cleaned up the minion wave on the development lane with peace of mind.
In a later team fight, Chu Li-fei died under the opponent’s siege.
Chu Li-fei continued to drink a sip of cola, and suddenly heard some movement coming from the stairs.
Chu Li-fei picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was already past twelve o’clock, who could it be?
There were not many people in the club at this time, and he was too lazy to turn on the lights to save trouble.
The shadow by the stairs followed the light of Chu Li-fei’s phone and approached.
Only then did Chu Li-fei realize that the person who came was Lu Mo-chen.
However, it had been an hour or two since get off work.
“What are you doing here?” The two said in unison.
Lu Mo-chen opened his mouth, just about to say something, when he heard an extremely loud roar from Chu Li-fei’s phone.
[What are you barking for!]
