Luo Yiming continues to wear his grin on his face just like that, stoning for a few seconds. Then, he falls flat on the table by himself, grinding his teeth as he grits out: “I bought a watch last year!**”
(**I bought a watch last year! 我去年买了个表！: In phonics, it is, Wo Qu Nian Mai Le Ge Biao. Shortform is WQNMLGB. It is the same short form as “我去你妈嘞个逼”, which in other words, means this is the nicer Internet alternative for: “FUCK YOUR MOTHER!”)
“Calm down.” Ye Hong pats Luo Yiming on the shoulder, extremely calmly. “Isn’t it just your lifeline getting snatched? This isn’t even the first time. There will be a next time for sure. Trust me.”
“Scram scram scram!”
“Ah, but the next time, it’s more likely for it to directly get banned oh?”
“Ye Zi, you bastard! Shut your damned mouth!”
While the two people are clamoring over here, Han Leng who is seated at the far side has already helped Luo Yiming instalock Centaur.
“Let’s snatch the mage next.” Jing Yu advises, “Ye Ge, what do you want?”
Ye Hong smiles: “Scarlet Fury ba. Once I get used to it, this demon can barely make the cut as my second lifeline.”
Jing Yu nods in understanding. He has just selected Scarlet Fury and is about to lock when Qin Fei speaks up out of nowhere: “Lock Burial Sword.”
Jing Yu’s hand quivers. Without thinking, he swerves it towards Burial Sword, insta-locking. Only then does Jing Yu realize what he’s done: “Huan?”
Qin Fei flicks his eyes at him, amused: “I’m the one using.”
It’s common knowledge that Burial Sword is mostly used to Jungle.
Being a warrior-type demon, his blood count is average, his speed fast, his jungling speed quick-footed, and he also has Flash — Each and every single one of these settings add up to earn him the title of “Demon Lord’s Top Jungler”.
Despite that, when serving as a solo-laner, Burial Sword’s HP and damage resistance hardly allows him to fulfill the critical role of tanking. Therefore, when “Demon Lord’s Top Jungler” is slotted in this position, he can only be considered second or third-rate at best.
But with all that said, Qin Fei intends to use Burial Sword to solo-lane?
As if reading Jing Yu’s thoughts, Qin Fei peers at his own screen, head not even turning: “The warrior-type demons used to jungle have more or less been banned. In contrast, I actually want to see what the enemy will use to jungle if we snatch Burial Sword.”
After hearing Qin Fei’s explanation, Jing Yu abruptly realizes — Isn’t he right? Burial Sword has been snatched by Qin Fei; Satan and Death God are still up on the ban list; Mad Bones will definitely be saved by SoS to solo-lane. Then, all that’s remaining are the squishies from the clan of assassins. What will SoS choose then?
The more he thinks about it, the more his curiosity wells. Jing Yu stares unblinkingly at SoS’s line-up.
SoS is obviously troubled. They aren’t able to make their decision until much later. When that happens, they finally decide on Peacock Plume to solo-lane. Then, shortly before the timer ticks 0, they insta-lock Mad Bones.
This is all as he expected, but it still causes a brief moment of disappointment — Looks like SoS’s jungler will only be revealed near the end.
“Scarlet Fury and Merman.” Qin Fei abruptly announces, swiftly making the decision for Ye Hong and Han Leng.
Ye Hong and Han Leng wordlessly insta-lock Scarlet Fury and Merman.
With this, pg has only their jungler left. Likewise, SoS still has the support and jungler to pick.
SoS sinks into another long discussion. Finally, they choose to lock Ariel. This Healing-type support is considered this team’s core. It can never be switched out.
With that, there is now only the jungler left. What will SoS choose?
The five people of pg bate their breaths and keep their eyes peeled, fixated on SoS’s line up.
Just when the timer ticks down to the halfway mark, SoS finally makes their selection — Frozen Heart.
En?
En?!
Jing Yu stops breathing. Even Ye Hong and Luo Yiming fret.
Luo Yiming: “It can’t be possible ba?”
Ye Hong: “Er…… I don’t think they would. If the enemy really dares to use Frozen Heart, I have a feeling, this match’s going to be a piece of cake.”
Ye Hong’s words are simply belittling Frozen Heart while affirming Jing Yu’s talents, making Jing Yu torn between slapping him and punching him and beating him up.
Nevertheless, Ye Hong’s judgement is accurate. Moments before the timer ends, SoS suddenly switches Frozen Heart out for Mandala Petals, insta-locking.
“Oh~” His curiosity sated at last, Jing Yu lets out a meaningful “Oh~“, beaming as he insta-locks Frozen Heart. “I’m familiar with Mandala Petals ah~ This round, I shall carry y’all to victory!”
These words have just fallen when four gazes collectively land upon Jing Yu’s face, some suspicious, some relishing.
The suspicious gaze comes from Luo Yiming: “Goldfish, you……”
Ye Hong helps him finish his words: “Your voice is suddenly so……”
Still not done yet? Han Leng steps up to the task: “……So coquettish!”
Jing Yu: “???”
Qin Fei snickers once, withdrawing his relishing gaze: “Sure then. We’ll leave it to you — Carry us to victory.”
Finally realizing how sassy his voice had been, Jing Yu’s face swiftly reddens. He awkwardly coughs once.
Erm. This is a bad habit he developed during his live-streaming. Whenever he thinks victory is already in hand, his tone will just suddenly become sassy. He’ll also abruptly reveal his own skill……
It’s enough to fool around normally, but to think it happened before pg…… Even more embarrassingly, this is right as he is still seated beside Qin Fei!!!
At this very moment, Jing Yu wants nothing more to one-hit KO himself with a smack.
However, right before he manages to do it, the game finishes loading. Both parties enter the battlefield, and the battle begins.
Jing Yu instantly fuels his actions with his shame, floating his Frozen Heart towards the Bottom Jungle.
Thereafter, he lets all members of pg know — The him at the apex of embarrassment is not one to be provoked. Additionally, when he said he will carry them, he really meant his words.
26 minutes later, the match wraps up. pg overwhelming trounces SoS with a head count of 38 : 11. That number comprises of Frozen Heart’s post-battle score — 18 Kills: 0 Deaths: 6 Assists.
Comparatively, the enemy Mandala Petals’ score is: 2 Kills: 13 Deaths: 3 Assists.
In a 5v5 match, it was forcibly transformed into a match-up of junglers by Jing Yu. His Frozen Heart seemed wholly focused on Mandala Petals throughout the whole match. Regardless of where Mandala Petals hid, he could still accurately pinpoint her and slash off her head with a few moves. Among those 18 heads he claimed, Mandala Petals takes up precisely half.
After ending the match, Jing Yu lets out a long breath of relief. He can only say one thing — It feels good!
Fang Luofan who has been watching from behind them can’t resist chuckling.
Indeed. For a person who is capable of bringing Frozen Heart into the pro-gamers’ stage, his understanding of assassin demons’ weaknesses can’t be any clearer. Topping that off with his outstanding jungling awareness, the enemy jungler was completely and utterly thrashed by him.
“Hahahahaha! I really want to see their expressions now ah!” Luo Yiming slaps the table with a hearty laugh, “This match was too satisfying! Even though I didn’t quintuple-kill, it still feels good!”
Ye Hong smilingly gazes at him, agreeing wholeheartedly: “That’s right. It really feels good.”
This is no longer just an advantageous game. This is a total crushing game.
“Goldfish, you’re so capable!”
If not for his position being too far away, Han Len really wants to give Jing Yu a big bear hug: “You really carried us to victory!”
Jing Yu makes a slight smile, not replying. He tentatively sneaks a glance at Qin Fei beside him.
–Only to see Qin Fei totally focused on the post-battle score, the edges of his lips curved up, as if quite pleased.
In comparison to pg‘s easy-going and light-hearted air, at the same time, every member of SoS, with their Coach included, all seem to bear dark, clouded faces.
Being a former Top 8 that received the right to enter the Invitational Playoffs, they were actually utterly crushed by a newbie team that didn’t receive the invitation. Moreover, it was by Frozen Heart, the sort of demon which everyone looks down upon… Who will believe them if they say it?
“pg‘s new jungler, he’s very strong.”
In the tens of thousands of words possible, they can only summarize it with such a line.
“Time to sleep. I have a feeling I’ll sleep pretty well tonight.” Han Leng remarks as he rises from his chair, stretching his back.
“What’re you sleeping for? You’re not training anymore?” Ye Hong glances at the clock at the bottom right corner of his screen. It’s still far from the ending time of training.
Luo Yiming yawns: “I’m sleepy. I’m still a growing boy ne.”
Unexpectedly, at this very moment. Fang Luofan looks at his own phone and calmly declares: “Hold on. The other side’s proposing another round.”
pg‘s members: “???”
“Fuck!” Luo Yiming can’t hold back the cuss, “Didn’t we agree on a Bo3? We already won 2 rounds. They’ve lost! Why don’t they just admit it?”
“You can’t say it like that.” Ye Hong massages his mildly sore wrist, “It’s a practice match after all. With that in mind, playing with SoS will also be beneficial to us.”
“What Ye Hong says is correct.” Fang Luofan raises his gaze to skim over those present, “It’s a rare training opportunity. You should treasure it. Take a 5 minute rest. Those who need to use the restroom should quickly go. We’re opening the next round in 5 minutes.”
“Alright, alright, isn’t it just another round?” Luo Yiming powerlessly falls atop the desk and rests like that.
Jing Yu gets up to go to the restroom, so quick-footed, he’s about to take flight.
He did it! Not only did he use Frozen Heart to win a pro’s match, he even pushed it into one-sided crushing!
In the formal battles in the future, will he also achieve these results?
When that time comes, how will the audience react? How will the commentators explain his match?
Just thinking about it is already making him exhilarated. His blood is surging!
Qin Fei is just leaving the Training Room when Jing Yu exits the restroom. Watching his back as he skips back to the Training Room, he raises his brows — It’s just two practice matches, yet he’s already so happy?
Moreover, he’s not hiding an ounce of his delight.
Qin Fei can’t help letting out a soft laugh. Jing Yu, he feels, is a little bit adorable.
5 minutes later, the 3rd match with SoS is about to begin. Likewise, it’s still SoS who gets the opening advantage.
pg‘s members are chatting and smiling, clearly still out of their battle mode.
Luo Yiming: “This time, let’s just ban all of the jungler demons! Leave just Frozen Heart and… Fuck!”
Before he even finishes speaking, SoS has already taken the initiative to ban the first demon. The unforeseen choice causes Luo Yiming to blurt out a cuss on the spot.
The first demon to be put on the banned list, is precisely Frozen Heart.
