Evidently, this was a four-person taxi[1]. And looking at the IDs that were made by randomly smashing the keyboard, their intent to mess around was clear.
Jing Yu lost his confidence. Losing a standard match wasn’t a big deal, but it was a problem if the win-rate for his main went down!
“How about I use the wind elemental instead?” Jing Yu asked hesitantly.
The newbie gift pack was a set of five elementals, and a family should stick together.
However, the bullet comments thought differently:
【Gold Fish, don’t be scared! Use Frozen Heart and carry them!】
【Gold Fish, go for it! It’s time for you to show off your Frozen Heart’s skills!】
【Finally, a round without anyone flaming Frozen Heart. Grasp this opportunity, Gold Fish!】
“You guys just want to see me lose with Frozen Heart, right?! That’s how it is!” Jing Yu felt like he’s uncovered the truth.
He’s noticed that every time he uses Frozen Heart to face-slap flamers, his angels get very happy.
And every time he uses Frozen Heart to face-slap himself, his angels aren’t disheartened, but rather become even happier, and would start cheerfully spamming “devastating defeat” in bold letters.
In the end, they just want to see him play as Frozen Heart.
As a live streamer who took care of his audience, he naturally followed what the majority of his fans wanted.
All the way until the start of battle, Jing Yu didn’t change from Frozen Heart, even though he was panicking internally, so much that he wasn’t in the mood to run his mouth.
【Aiyaya, it feels strange not hearing Gold Fish’s playful tone.】
【Don’t be scared, Gold Fish! I think you’re going to get a losing MVP!】
“Who the fuck is scared!” Jing Yu stubbornly persisted, “I’m at Master rank. Even if it’s just a standard match, both my teammates and enemies will be around the same rank. Even if they use the newbie pack demons, they can’t be terrible, right?”
At least he hoped so……
It was hard to say whether these four were just here to troll.
After entering battle, Jing Yu stopped paying attention to the comments, taking control of Frozen Heart and floating towards the jungle. He decided to peacefully farm some monsters to raise his level and gold.
However, just as he killed the first monster……
【System】 Sonde has slain an enemy!
【System】 The enemy Triton has been defeated!
【System】 Chiron has slain an ally!
【System】 Your ally Sonde has been defeated!
【System】 Voïa has slain an enemy!
【System】 The enemy Chiron has been defeated!
The game had only begun for less than a minute, but the bottom lane already finished a 1-for-2 trade.
Jing Yu was dumbstruck.
【Ally】 Gold Fish not Salted Fish (Frozen Heart): So intense?
Just as he finished typing, system prompts once again covered his screen.
【System】 Faar has slain an enemy!
【System】 The enemy Scarlet Fury has been defeated!
【System】 Guren has slain an enemy!
【System】 The enemy Rampant Corpse has been defeated!
【System】 Rampant Corpse has slain an ally!
【System】 Your ally Guren has been defeated!
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!” Jing Yu was completely thrown off by the fast pace of the battle. “What’s with these people?”
It was only a minute since the start of the game, yet the score had already risen to 4:2. Other than the jungler, every single demon on the enemy side had died once, with the allied solo laner and marksman as sacrifice.
As for the reason, Jing Yu can guess from what he observed of the minimap – the solo laner tower-dived to slaughter the enemy, but in the end was killed by the tower, and the kill was given to the enemy.
The marksman in the bottom lane was the same, diving right under the tower to auto attack and kill the other side.
Shit, they’re fierce AF.
However, this play-style reminded him of a professional gaming team called PG. Every one of its members was extremely aggressive, and even the support had gotten a triple kill before.
And of PG, the most aggressive would be their jungler, Qin Fei. It didn’t matter what demon he chose; he would still play as if he could solo an entire team.
Qin Fei was the 《Demon Lord》 professional gamer Jing Yu admired the most up until now, without any competition.
Every time Jing Yu watched a match with Qin Fei playing, his blood would boil with excitement.
It can’t be that……
No, no, it wasn’t possible. How could there be such a big coincidence in life?
Even more so, everyone knows that PG was forever lacking a solo laner, and their solo lane position was always changing. Even their jungler Qin Fei had to fill that spot in the past.
During the last season of 《Demon Lord》’s professional league, it was because PG couldn’t find a suitable fifth player that they could only reach Top 8.
Jing Yu sighed internally. Even though he’s biased towards PG, especially towards Qin Fei, he still thought that if PG continues their fast-paced and aggressive play-style, it would be difficult for them to find a fifth member.
Because, there were very few people who could keep up with their tempo.
*
Deaths at the start of the battle are resurrected very quickly. Just as Jing Yu finished off his third jungle monster, the players from both sides had hurried back to their outer towers.
Jing Yu had a bad feeling. Although he still hadn’t reached Lv. 6 nor unlocked his ult, he moved Frozen Heart straight towards the bottom lane.
Just as expected, as soon the allied marksman reached the tower, he immediately Flashed past the enemy support, directly auto-ing the enemy marksman.
Not only that, the allied support also used Flash and his shield, and began madly attacking the enemy marksman.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!” While chanting “fuck”, Jing Yu instantly locked onto the enemy marksman and blinked under the tower, used his 1st ability to secure the kill, and then Flashed out of the tower, fiercely pounding keyboard commands at the support.
Jing Yu had dived into the tower before the marksman, taking a hit from the turret, barely managing to save the marksman who only had a layer of blood left. At the same time, he secured two kills.
Then he immediately sent out a signal to retreat.
The allied marksman and support, after hearing the system prompts, clearly paused for a second, before following Frozen Heart back under their own turret.
A very beautiful 0-for-2 trade, plus, they safely retreated before the enemy jungler could arrive.
【Ally】 adddd (Sonde): Yo, impressive.
【Ally】 Gold Fish not Salted Fish (Frozen Heart): Almost didn’t make it……
【Ally】 Gold Fish not Salted Fish (Frozen Heart): You guys are so aggressive!
While typing, Frozen Heart floated towards the mid lane.
Although he couldn’t see the other jungler, due to the previous battle, the jungler must have tried to rush towards bottom lane. And because he didn’t make it in time, he likely started farming the bottom jungle or went to gank mid.
Jing Yu had planned to float to mid and camp in the brush to watch the situation. But he didn’t expect that their mage, with only a sliver of health, would be pressing the enemy mage into the enemy tower.
“Fuck! Are you trying to die?” Jing Yu couldn’t help roasting.
Under these circumstances, not knowing where the enemy jungler was, Jing Yu didn’t dare rush under the enemy tower. He was just about to tell their mage not to overextend in chat, but before he could hit send, Burial Sword rushed over with his 40-m longsword!
At the same time, Faar reached Lv. 6 and immediately used his ultimate, locking on to Burial Sword and attacking madly.
Almost as if second nature, Jing Yu used Frozen Heart to link towards Burial Sword, piercing him with their 1st ability, leaving him with only a thin slice of health. The kill was secured by their mage’s auto attack.
At this point, the ally mage was also only left with a sliver of health, probably less than 20 points. But not only did he not retreat, he continued to parade around the enemy turret, leaving Jing Yu in a cold sweat.
Seeing how low his health was, the enemy mage didn’t want to let go of this opportunity, Flashing towards him with his ultimate!
But the allied mage, almost as if he predicted it all, advanced rather than retreating, using his 2nd then 1st, and took out the enemy mage with a set of combos.
【System】 Faar, double kill!
【System】 The enemy Scarlet Fury has been defeated!
In the brushes, the Jing Yu who was planning on avenging their mage was astounded.
In that split second, he thought their mage was dead for sure. Seeing the enemy mage use their ultimate, anyone’s first reaction should be to retreat, right? But since the enemy went for broke and used their Flash, at this distance, it was impossible to dodge their ult. Yet the allied mage attacked without withdrawing, and ended up completely avoiding the ult, finishing up with a counter-kill.
This was truly a counter-kill with a sliver of blood!
Their mage recalled home on the spot, and Jing Yu controlled Frozen Heart to move towards the enemy’s jungle. The shock in his heart still hadn’t subsided.
At this time, there were still people on the enemy team who haven’t reached Lv. 6, yet the score was already 8:2.
It couldn’t be denied, this four-person taxi was really too aggressive. If it wasn’t for him personally witnessing their mage’s shady gameplay, he would think the enemies were bots.
Now that he was on this over-speeding taxi, Jing Yu had no choice but to speed up his own tempo.
After clearing the enemy’s top jungle, Frozen Heart floated to camp behind the enemy’s top outer tower. While allowing their solo laner to have vision of the jungle, he could also look for an opportunity mount a surprise attack on the enemy solo laner.
Perhaps he was scared by their fierce play-style, but the enemy solo laner appeared to rather die than step out from under his tower.
–And then he really died.
In the same instant that the creeps entered the tower, their team’s Guren rushed under the tower and used his 1st ability to prevent Rampant Corpse from using Flash, and 0.1 seconds later, Frozen Heart linked onto Rampant Corpse, moving towards him and ulting him. The frozen Rampant Corpse couldn’t move a muscle and was almost instantly killed by Guren and Frozen Heart’s various abilities and auto attacks.
And then Frozen Heart was first to leave the tower, Guren tanking the turret damage while leaving, still having half of his health.
The two, with the help of allied creeps, pushed the outer tower together in sync.
【Ally】 asdf (Guren): Yo, pretty good.
【Ally】 asdf (Guren): Right, I can relax and sleep now, glhf.
【Ally】 jkll (Faar): Good night.
【Ally】 adddd (Sonde): Good night~
【Ally】 hhhh (Voïa): Good night!
【Ally】 Gold Fish not Salted Fish (Frozen Heart): ???
