âHow is it?â Lin Dong asked quietly, nudging Xiao Beiâs side.
Xiao Bei couldnât tear his eyes away from the screen, his mind in a daze. Lin Dong nudged him again, and his eyes snapped toward him instead.
âItâs amazing, as expected of Luocheng to be able to pull that off!â
âAnd compared to you?â Lin Dong asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
During the day, Xiao Bei would be busy helping out that bastard of an uncle with errands, but during the night, his time was spent practising his ADC skills. Lin Dong knew that with Xiao Beiâs skills now, he could easily get invited into certain teams.
Lin Dong himself didnât play much anymore, so he could only use Xiao Bei as a comparison to know Yu Luochengâs level.
âLuochengâs laning is a bit weak, but once he obtained his items, his control and movements were way stronger than me. If it was me against Orianna and Nocturne, most likely I would have still been able to kill them. However, I wouldnât have engaged Renekton later on because a single mistake would instantly mean my death.â Xiao Bei said, his face solemn. âI didnât for one second imagine that Yu Luocheng would be able to kill all three of them, that was really something!â
Touching the edge of his cap, Lin Dongâs face broke out into a smile. As he thought, even if Yu Luocheng was only playing for fun, he really had a terrifying strength!
Only, what would it take to make him return to the scene of E-Sports?
Lin Dong glanced at Yu Luocheng, noting that he was more calm and composed as compared to last time. It didnât look like it was possible to get him back into the scene.

âDamn, this Vayne was baiting, wasnât he!â Qiu Jingtai exclaimed, looking at the screen.
The Vayne that he had been insulting not too long ago had made a complete turnaround, shocking everyone in the crowd by securing that triple kill. Who would be able to get a triple kill in a competition such as this?
âThis is how Vayne is. After she gets her items, sheâs basically unbeatable.â Jiang Jiu said. âBut Cat Eye really is something, he really is a Challenger Vayne!â
The sweet melodic voice of Qi Qiao explained the details of Vayneâs play as the screen replayed the scene of the fight, and the crowd cheered wildly.
Backstage, a worker asked. âHave you saved the clip of the fight?â
âYeah, itâs saved. Do you want to use it?â A programmer asked in response.
âOf course, itâs a one against three! Itâll definitely be in the official top ten!â
âOf course, of course!â The programmer said hurriedly.

Varus and Sona from the opposing team only reached after Renekton had been slaughtered. Even though Vayne only had a quarter of her health left, Varus and Sona didnât dare to get closer to engage. She had just killed three of their teammates and broken their momentum after all.
Not long after, the rest of Team Shanghai arrived. Looking at the three bodies on the ground, other than disbelief, they were much more amazed at the scene.
The members of Team Shanghai were all present, and their opponent only had two champions alive. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Vayne had made, they mowed down the mid lane, almost breaking the Inhibitor. The income from breaking the three mid lane towers was massive, and more importantly, Team Shanghai had set the pace for the game with that play.
Meanwhile on Team Liaoning, the playersâ faces were grim. Who knew that letting Vayne obtain her items from farming a little would be so terrifying. If they couldnât take her down fast enough in a fight, the teamfights would be difficult to win.
***
As he sipped on his coke, Yu Luochengâs thoughts on Vayne drifted through his mind. With the items at hand, Vayneâs damage output was extremely high!
Team Shanghaiâs members were now surrounding Vayne, for as long as Vayne had enough peel 1 , this match was in the bag. Of course, Team Liaoning wouldnât take this lying down either. Nocturne had revived and his role was to now focus on Vayne, adding on to the fact that Renekton had a ton of healthâ¦
Just as Qi Qiao had said, both sides could only settle things in a teamfight. The income gap between them was just too big, and now, you could only wait to see if Vayne could triumph in teamfights.
***
After the one on three that Team Liaoning had lost to, the pressure on them was heavier. They didnât dare to engage Team Shanghai. Yu Luocheng thought that Vayne still lacked one more defense item, so while it was peaceful with no teamfights, he went up to the top lane to farm and managed to build a Bansheeâs Veil for magic resistance.
Oriannaâs damage was terrifying, and in the chaos of a teamfight, the threat towards Vayne who had very little resistance was big. She needed a Bansheeâs Veil for some defense, also to prevent Sona or Varus from limiting her movements.
***
Team Liaoning was smart and they deliberately pretended to farm on their own. With the advantage of vision control, they ambushed Team Shanghai at the mid lane. The ability of Nocturne to initiate a fight was alarming, and Team Shanghaiâs jungler was caught off guard.
The teamwork of a professional team was said to be seamless. As long as they observed the minimap and realized that a teamfight was about to happen, they could all come together to the area and assist each other.
When Team Shanghai saw their jungler getting caught, Thresh, Diana and Jax immediately went to assist.
âVayne, come on, itâs starting!â The jungler from Team ShanghaiâHu Wei exclaimed.
Cat Eye smiled bitterly, and could only watch Vayne, who was still farming.
âD*mn it! They are starting a teamfight, why wonât you head over to assist!â
Finally, Vayne started to move toward the mid lane. Even though Team Shanghai knew they needed to wait for Vayne to engage, they were forced to start the fight without her. 4v5, and the outcome was already predicted. Elise was sacrificed without any further delay.
Diana, who had rushed into the fray, took down Sona with the help of her Zhonyaâs Hourglass and shield, and then retreated through the river with very low health. Jax had decent damage, but he couldnât win against Varus.
âVayneâs reaction to assist in the teamfight is slow, and things look bleak for their side. Team Shanghai will probably need to give up a tower and the Dragon.â Qi Qiao observed.
âLetâs go back and defend that wave,â Qiu Shenping said helplessly to his teammates.
Thresh and Diana who were still alive, nodded in agreement and started to retreat.
âAre we engaging?â Thresh suddenly asked.
âHow the heck are we supposed to engage, they have four⦠What the f*ck!â Qiu Shenping cursed loudly mid sentence.
You couldnât blame Qiu Shenping for cursing, because the Vayne clearly didnât treat this as a competition. After the sacrifice of two teammates and one heavily injured teammate, she had still activated her ulti and dove straight into the opponentâs team which had four champions left!
Youâre a f*cking ADC, not an Assassin!
