Chapter 372: When in Doubt, Let Yu Luocheng Out!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Teammates… Ha! Don’t make me laugh, you guys recruited a female member!?” Coconut Head burst out laughing.

While Team Skycrown was at Demacia Cafe, Xiao Ya had always hung out with them and she truly had become a part of Team Skycrown, even if she did occasionally become the enemy team’s “helper” by accident…

“Shut the hell up, we’ll grind you to dust even with her on our team!” Da Luo shouted back.

“Sh*t, like that would ever happen! Regardless of the little lady, even in a straight fight we’ll leave you crying on the floor, be it in real life or in League.” Coconut Head was beginning to get annoyed too.

They were a semi-professional team, one of the strongest in Hangzhou, and Coconut Head couldn’t just stand here and take it if some nobodies mocked him by saying a girl could beat them!

“Then cut the crap. You, me, right here, right now.” Da Luo had a glint in his eye.

Ever since he was young, everyone had always told Da Luo that he was useless with his studies, but Da Luo didn’t care, he even admitted that he was useless at school. People also told him that he wasn’t any good at sports, challenging him to a 1 vs 1 at basketball, but he backed off knowing that he couldn’t beat them either. However, mock his skills at gaming and Da Luo would f*ck them up! This was a matter of a man’s dignity!

The problem between Qinjin and Xiao Ya still hadn’t been settled, and now, Da Luo and that Coconut Head were in a fiery argument as well.

Qinjin’s face turned black and he glared harshly at Coconut Head.

Could you shut the f*ck up and let me deal with this girl first!

Da Luo was a natural hot head and once he started arguing with Coconut Head, Coconut Head’s fuse was lit up too.

“Come at me, we’ll go to the battle ring right now. If I don’t make you cry for your mama, I’ll change my name! Solo me if you dare!” Coconut Head had also begun yelling.

“Are you braindead, challenging someone to a solo on League of Legends?” Da Luo pointed at the people behind Qinjin, “Get your posse of noobs together, I’ll defeat each and every one of them!”

“You’re looking to die!”

“I will destroy you!”

That set off the rest of Team Zhejiang, all of them rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight.

“I’ll kill all of you under your fountain and end it before you even get the chance to surrender! We’ll demolish you with Xiao Ya on our team! No need for the monthly competition, we’ll start right now, one round, winner takes all, loser retires and disbands their team! With these noobs taking up the name of Team Zhejiang, you’re a disgrace to all League players in Zhejiang!”

Da Luo was firing insults and provocations like a machine gun, activating Teemo’s hidden passive, mocking the entire enemy team.

Team Zhejiang were being driven mad as all they could do was swear with not a trace of depth in their words.

“Fine! If you beat us with that b*tch on your team, I’ll forget that the orange juice thing ever happened. We’ll back out of the monthly competition and unregister our team name, but if you lose, you’d better disappear from the competitive scene and get that b*tch to come back here and lick this juice off!” Qinjin had been pushed beyond his limits.

Qinjin was a video game addict as well, so to him, your skills at a game determined your dignity as a man. Being told that they would lose to a girl, he really wanted to see how this Team Birdie would be able to beat Team Zhejiang with Xiao Ya in tow. It wasn’t as though he didn’t already know how “good” Xiao Ya was, she wasn’t even worthy of Bronze V!

Getting rid of their competition and dealing with that b*tch, it was like killing two birds with one stone.

“Gao, the juice will have dried by the time we’re done with the competition, how will she lick it off?” A skinny kid playing Support asked.

“Well, we’ll just have to splash him again,” Coconut Head answered smoothly, forcing a glare from Qinjin.

***

Qinjin washed his face and seeing as the weather was pretty hot out, he took off his shirt as well, moving on to lead his teammates into battle.

Team Skycrown was already seated when they arrived, and they then called Xiao Ya over.

“Xiao Ya, don’t be worried, we’re going to win.” Da Luo patted his chest, promising Xiao Ya victory.

Da Luo would always lose his mind when he laid eyes on a pretty girl.

“But…but I’ll hold you back! If we really lose this…” Xiao Ya stammered.

Xiao Ya wasn’t stupid. She knew she would be lucky enough to not be the cause of their defeat, don’t even talk about helping them.

Team Zhejiang’s skill far surpassed their previous opponents and they were the tops of the semi-professional world, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so bold to name themselves as such.

“It’s okay, whenever we meet delinquents, we send Luocheng out to handle them.” Lin Dong said.

Luocheng’s expression grew sour, what about him?

He hadn’t said a single word from the start, it had been Da Luo that provoked them, he was the innocent one here.

“Da Luo, good job!” K discreetly gave a thumbs up to Da Luo.

K had been getting a headache as Qinjin wouldn’t stop until he got what he wanted.

Xu Ben stopping Xiao Ya from calling 110 was a good idea too, since Qinjin had quite the background, getting the police involved would’ve just caused more trouble than help their situation.

Just as K was wondering how they were going to get Qinjin to calm down while also protecting Xiao Ya, Da Luo had taken his jab at Qinjin, successfully activating Teemo’s “Annoy Enemy Team” passive, shifting Qinjin’s focus onto the competition.

Shifting focus, team-wide annoyance, provocation, Da Luo apparently had quite a few tricks up his sleeve, succeeding in smoothing over the entire incident. Looking at Da Luo who was quickly testing out his computer at his seat, K’s admiration of Da Luo’s techniques grew, thus giving him the thumbs up.

But in reality, Da Luo was absolutely delighted as he adjusted his computer. The argument today had pumped him full of adrenaline, and Da Luo loved dissing his opponents before a match, making them pull their hair out, and then pummeling them in game. That was the epitome of happiness.

As for what K was thinking… really? All I wanted to do was yell at them. The competitions now are so much more formal than they were before, no more yelling, not even hand gestures were allowed, and this constricted Da Luo so much to the point that he was almost turning into a “good kid”.

He couldn’t help himself, it wasn’t everyday that such a high-end cyber cafe had such a down-to-earth vibe to it. What “techniques”, what “shifting focus”…this was all Da Luo’s true colors shining through!

“Ok, the rest is all up to you.” Da Luo patted Luocheng on the shoulder.

Luocheng laughed bitterly, what did this have to do with him!? How did a good, honest, monthly competition suddenly become a personal fight, even having to involve the feeding girl!

Team Skycrown were always in sync with each other, not only while playing LOL, but even in situations like this. Da Luo would be the first to beat them down verbally, mocking their entire team, and then Luocheng would activate his demon mode in-game, making up for his silence during the verbal fight by driving them so mad that they would want to pick a fight in real life, which would then cue Zhou Yan to wipe them out, acing the entire enemy team!

Driving the enemy to the brink of insanity, it was a form or art. Da Luo cussing out the opponents was him showing his true colors, but Luocheng’s actions were an expression of his raw emotions, and their enemies’ reactions were undeniably all under his control.

“What do you mean ‘all up to me’, I don’t know how to beat them either,” Luocheng said.

Taking that girl to the bottom lane would make it a 1 vs 3, it was just too hard, how was he going to drive them mad?

“Mop the floor with them, let them know how dirty you can play, is that so hard? It feels like all you need to do is just let loose a little and…” Lin Dong said.

Luocheng grew irritated, did these people not speak English!?

What did you mean by “just let loose”!?

Xiao Ya, who had been listening in on their conversation, calmed down quite a bit, blinking up at Luocheng and wondering why all of them wanted him to participate in the game so badly. After all, wasn’t he better at playing Support?

K and Xu Ben saw Luocheng sitting in Lin Dong, the ADC’s seat, and both their eyes widened, filling up with expectations.

From their previous lessons, they could already tell that Luocheng’s ADC was pretty strong, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to teach K. They had thought it such a shame that they had never had the chance to witness Luocheng playing ADC, but it looked as though their chance had arrived!

***

Luocheng had more experience in carrying girls through games. In the beginning when he was playing with Snowfall, she had made him cough up blood on multiple occasions too.

His following interactions with Yang Qianqian’s various wild ideas had let Luocheng experience the creativity of a woman’s mind, for example, things like a Soraka with a Mejai’s which always ended up as a complete failure. He often heard things like “Should I buy a Black Cleaver or Phantom Dancer on my Support Lulu?” from Qianqian as she looked at Luocheng with a face full of excitement and naivety.

At that point Luocheng would flatly reply, “Obviously you build a Frozen Mallet, that way, you can stick onto people better while chasing them. Combine that with your Q-skill and your enemies will never be able to get away!”

With this, Luocheng had a sudden epiphany.

He had just been thinking, how could he aggravate this Team Zhejiang who had bullied this fair maiden?

And now, he had gotten it.

Sigh, he really had held himself back earlier, how could it be that he had only just thought of this idea… Oh, whatever, it was all that nasty Lin Dong’s fault!

***

Since this was a personal match, switching out members wasn’t a problem.

Both sides were seated at their battle zones and they called in a worker who was friends with Qinjin and had less of a chance of being assaulted to act as the referee.

Qinjin had already washed up. He wasn’t about to sit through an entire match drenched in orange juice, that would be unbearable.

Qinjin was going to the bottom lane too, a fiery anger burning in the pits of his stomach. He was going to beat these cocky guys into the dirt, and then when Xu Ben, K and this Team Birdie or whatever decided to stay in their lane, he was going to take care of that b*tch too.

“So how good is this Xiao Ya’s techniques?” asked the scrawny Support.

“Qinjin will know all about it tonight.” Coconut Head’s words were dripping with lust.

The corners of Qinjin’s mouth curled upward slightly as Coconut Head’s words pleased him, and he replied, “Bad, she’s only about level 20.”

***

Xiao Ya actually played a lot, but the girl really didn’t have much talent when it came to video games, only matching the skill level of other guys who were at level 20 or at most, the new level 30’s, even though she had played for so long.

Luocheng could tell that Xiao Ya was getting increasingly nervous and he tried to calm her a bit, “I’ve helped you change your runes to make it easier for you, just build what I tell you to later.”

“Okay. I’ll pick Sona since I play her the most,” Xiao Ya said.

“Yes, that would be great!” Luocheng nodded earnestly.

For Sona, he didn’t need the girl to do any damage, all she needed to do was stand in the back and pump out buffs and heals. That alone would be good enough.
