BVAHEDLA[W Chapter 15
by VolareChapter 15 E-sports 15 “Can you stay with me for a while?” / “Soraka…”
The next day, Lu Mo-chen slowly woke up in bed.
He opened his eyes and looked around, finding it unfamiliar. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a hospital layout.
He turned his head to look out the window, the sky was just beginning to turn a fish-belly white, the light blue and yellow colors forming a peaceful and beautiful scene. The white yarncurtains gently fluttered with the wind.
Only then did he recall that he had fainted on Chu Li-fei yesterday due to a fever.
Right, where is Captain?
Lu Mo-chen subconsciously wanted to prop himself up, but his whole body went limp, and he finally felt the weight on his hand.
He followed the direction of his arm and looked up, discovering a dark head resting on his arm by the bedside, the hair seeming a bit disheveled.
Lu Mo-chen’s mind was still a bit foggy, and for a moment, he didn’t recognize who the man in front of him was, but he first recognized that the clothes the man was wearing were the same ones Chu Li-fei had worn on the night of the competition!
“Cap…Captain?”
Lu Mo-chen asked tentatively in a small voice, feeling a burning pain in his throat as soon as he spoke.
Chu Li-fei heard Lu Mo-chen’s voice and woke up instantly. He busily poured a cup of warm water from the thermos next to him.
“How are you feeling now? Is your head still dizzy?”
Lu Mo-chen nodded, but immediately realized something seemed off, and shook his head again.
He looked at the date on his phone and realized that it had been almost two days since their match that night.
That is to say, Chu Li-fei hadn’t gone back since that night, but had stayed here to take care of him?
Lu Mo-chen took a sip of water and felt much better. Only then did he turn his eyes to Chu Li-fei.
He saw him filled with unconcealable fatigue, the originally exquisite and handsome suit jacket now clearly had several creases, and the dark circles under his eyes and disheveled hair made Chu Li-fei look like a fallen noble.
However, this also once again proved that Chu Li-fei had been watching over him during this time, never leaving his side.
A sense of guilt welled up in Lu Mo-chen’s heart for no reason.
“I’m sorry, Captain…”
“Hm?” Chu Li-fei turned around in confusion.
“I’m sorry for making you worry, and for taking care of me for so long.”
Chu Li-fei looked straight at him, a touch of inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes: “I’ll go take care of the discharge procedures for you.”
Watching Chu Li-fei’s figure leave directly, Lu Mo-chen suddenly felt a little flustered.
A voice in his heart seemed to be telling him to call out to that departing person.
Otherwise, there would be no more chances.
His heart was pounding, a drop of sweat trickled down his forehead, and his hand slowly clenched the bed sheet.
“Wait a moment, Captain!”
Lu Mo-chen shouted.
His voice was still a little hoarse, but he shouted so hard.
The sound-activated lights in the corridor lit up one by one, and Lu Mo-chen’s voice echoed in the narrow corridor.
Chu Li-fei stopped.
He turned around and saw Lu Mo-chen running towards him, staggering.
Chu Li-fei quickly went up to catch him.
Due to exhaustion, Lu Mo-chen was basically hanging on Chu Li-fei.
He had too many questions to ask Chu Li-fei, but in the end, all the words turned into one sentence:
“Can you stay with me for a while.”
Chu Li-fei was stunned, he was a little surprised that Lu Mo-chen would make this request.
He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.
He saw Lu Mo-chen’s head resting on his shoulder, his head turned towards the window, revealing only a touch of crimson at the corner of his eye.
“Okay.”
Chu Li-fei said softly.
He was always willing to indulge him.
He supported Lu Mo-chen and slowly returned to the bedside to sit down, and just sat quietly with him for a morning, until the sky was bright and Lu Mo-chen fell into a deep sleep again.
Fortunately, Lu Mo-chen’s illness quickly improved after returning this time.
However, Chu Li-fei received a new message, the QWE League’s official invitation to the MU team—of course, other teams also received invitations—to participate in the first official Carnival.
The time was two weeks later.
At that time, the official will also invite celebrities, streamers, or retired players, as well as random pub players from the game to participate together. At the same time, offline ticket sales channels and online live broadcasts will also be opened.
Therefore, Chu Li-fei was also on the list of invitees. There were also several of his old friends, such as those who had retired and become commentators, and those who had returned to their hometowns to retire, and so on.
During this period, MU won four more games. This time they were very lucky. The opponents they drew were relatively weak, and they basically only had one round in the league in the past. Therefore, MU won these games very easily, which can be regarded as breaking the outside world’s doubts and proving their strength once again.
Currently, the MU team’s record is 6 wins and 1 loss, with 6 points, and it has been confirmed to qualify in the regular season and enter the playoffs.
Time quickly came to the day of the Carnival.
As soon as they arrived nearby, they saw that it was already crowded with people. There were also several girls distributing support items.
This was the first time the official held a Carnival, and Chu Li-fei had never seen it before, so he was happy to experience something new.
The Carnival was divided into two parts.
In the morning, activity check-in and peripheral sales areas would be open, and the sub-stage would also be open for players to form teams to compete, with rewards for winning.
In the afternoon, the main stage would be open, inviting guests to interact with the audience, and playing a few entertainment matches.
In the entertainment match, all guests would receive a number plate, and teams would be formed by drawing lots.
Therefore, you might see players with bad relationships forced to be on the same team, or a team of five junglers appearing.
However, in the last entertainment match, the official added a few more rules on this basis.
Hero selection by lottery, position also by lottery.
Everything by lottery, leaving everything to random fate.
The lottery results came out quickly, and Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen were lucky enough to be assigned to the same group.
However, not as teammates, but as opponents.
The previous matches were very interesting. Although there was no situation where a team had five junglers, there were still two junglers who collided positions.
When one of the junglers filled the support position, he actually forgot to change his skills and brought Smite, taking his own jungler’s buff in the game.
After the game, he kept saying that his hand slipped and he wanted to take the buff when he saw it.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon time for the last game.
Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen stood on opposite sides of the stage, looking at each other from afar.
The big screen was now drawing Chu Li-fei’s position and hero.
The names of the five positions kept rolling, slower and slower, and finally settled on the word “Jungler”!
The audience under the stage couldn’t help but shout out, and even Chu Li-fei’s new teammates felt that this game was stable.
But soon, they couldn’t laugh anymore.
The names of the heroes also began to slide, which was much more dazzling than when choosing a position.
The speed of the slider became slower and slower, and finally it stopped on a Soraka support hero.
【???】
【Hahaha, this is too funny.】
【Is this a black box operation? Out of so many heroes, it just happened to be a Soraka, hahahahahahahahaha.】
The audience and the live broadcast chat were almost laughing their heads off, but Chu Li-fei’s teammates were completely dumbfounded.
Soraka jungle?
Are you kidding me!
Lu Mo-chen’s side was gloating.
Soon, the positions and heroes of the remaining 9 people were quickly decided.
Coincidentally, Lu Mo-chen also drew the jungle position, but he was much luckier than Chu Li-fei, selecting a mage hero.
Before the game officially started, there was also a pre-match trash talk session.
Chu Li-fei took the microphone from the host, his eyes sweeping over his opponents with a smile, his tone rare and unrestrained: “Soraka jungle, why not?”
“Watch carefully, and learn well.”
Lu Mo-chen also jokingly responded: “Captain, you better stay in the fountain and don’t come out.”
The game officially began.
To be fair, in other games, the role of Soraka is usually to increase healing by constantly stacking health.
But in “Fight For What”, Soraka’s healing is linked to her Ability Power, meaning the higher her Ability Power, the higher her healing, and the higher her damage.
So Chu Li-fei made a blue jungle knife and called someone over to help him hit the buff together.
There was no way around it; Soraka’s early damage was still too low.
Chu Li-fei’s team composition was relatively normal, basically having a hero for each position, just not in their proper roles.
The support became the jungler, and the jungler became the support.
On Lu Mo-chen’s side, they actually drew three magic damage heroes. It was okay in the early stage, but if it reached the late stage, once Chu Li-fei’s team made a magic resist cloak, Lu Mo-chen’s team’s damage would be greatly reduced.
Around 3 minutes, the Soraka controlled by Chu Li-fei had both red and blue buffs, and the jungler following him was dutifully equipping support items.
He decided to gank the bottom lane first, although he didn’t have much damage yet.
Win and make a killing, lose and no loss.
With this idea in mind, Chu Li-fei sent a signal to attack. The opponent’s marksman happened to be a support, with no early damage at all, and in the end, there was no way to escape, and the kill went to Chu Li-fei’s team’s support.
However, just as they wanted to retreat, Lu Mo-chen had already brought people to ambush them on their only path.
Chu Li-fei was helpless, and his team’s marksman was ultimately sacrificed.
Throughout the game, Chu Li-fei and Lu Mo-chen seemed to have hacks, always knowing the other’s location, surrounding and counter-surrounding, ambushing and counter-ambushing constantly playing out in the Rift.
This game was no longer a confrontation between heroes, but a game between the two of them.
At 8 minutes, Chu Li-fei took the lead in attacking the Tyrant. Lu Mo-chen had already brought people to wait in the nearby bushes for a long time.
Seeing that Tyrant was about to reach the execution line, Lu Mo-chen suddenly rushed out of the corner, but Chu Li-fei actually didn’t want the Tyrant, and directly pulled it out of the dragon pit.
It turned out that his goal was never the Tyrant, but Lu Mo-chen!
Chu Li-fei released a skill in the direction of Lu Mo-chen and his team – Bouncing Bomb.
This skill would cause the enemy to be briefly stunned. Although the duration was very short, it would bounce back and forth in the crowd when the enemy was gathered, causing multiple stuns and achieving a sustained control effect.
Although Lu Mo-chen and his team dispersed at the first moment, they were inevitably controlled. Chu Li-fei also seized this opportunity very well, taking his people to kill them one by one.
Moreover, because Soraka was equipped with all magic items, the skill damage of Bouncing Bomb was not low, and he even got a double kill.
The audience under the stage went crazy, not expecting Soraka to be played like this, and immediately took out their mobile phones to send messages to their friends.
“Hahahaha” also floated across the screen.
【Feel sorry for Guan Dong Zhu and his team for a second, Soraka’s skill is disgusting.】
【As expected, the hearts of those who play tactics are dirty.】
【Family, wait for me to pull out a Soraka jungle in the peak match, don’t steal it from me. I have realized it, see you tonight at 3000 in the peak match.】
【I wish you a nosedive to 900 points, you can just wait to surrender every game with six points.】
Fortunately, after Lu Mo-chen and his team resurrected, they finally took down this wave of attack.
However, when the game dragged on to the later stage, Chu Li-fei’s team had a magic resist cloak, and it was really impossible to do any damage. There was also Chu Li-fei, this part-time Soraka, who would directly activate a skill to restore health when they attacked, and the health bar wouldn’t drop at all.
Unless they could kill Chu Li-fei first, there was simply no way to fight!
However, how easy was it to kill Chu Li-fei?
In the end, Chu Li-fei’s team won the game in 14 minutes.
The official later also made a separate kill compilation of Soraka, and the popularity was not low.
A few days later, the last regular season game was about to begin.
The MU team would face the champion of the previous league – the SYR team.
