Chapter 1221

To be honest, League of Legends hasn't had an easy time lately.

First, more convenient and faster-paced mobile games have greatly impacted the market; there are more old players quitting and fewer new players joining, and combined with some reasons within the game, League of Legends' popularity has been sliding.

Yet, even with the situation already this bad, the national server's planning team is still squeezing players' wallets as much as possible, constantly releasing various pay-to-win events and new skins, while refusing to fix bugs that affect the player experience, and banning anyone using skin-changing software on the spot.

With the accumulation of these disgusting incidents, players have long been extremely dissatisfied with this game, especially the game's planning team.

Plus, the anniversary is coming up, and the official event rewards are pitifully small, with all other content basically being pay-to-win, so the League players finally couldn't hold it in anymore and began to extend their kind greetings to the national server's planning team.

The main form was intense abuse directed at the planners' family trees, extending forward and backward, with their mothers being the primary target of the attacks.

Just scolding the planners wasn't enough to vent their anger; players also called on everyone not to log in on the day of the anniversary—play any game, just not League of Legends—and to stop spending money for a week to express everyone's angry sentiments.

Originally, they thought a slogan like this was just something a few people were shouting and wouldn't get much response, but who would have thought the players were serious this time, expressing their indignation and stating they must teach the planners an unforgettable lesson.

It even developed to the point where major streamers also started calling for people not to log in on the anniversary, willing to risk their own livelihoods just to vent this pent-up anger.

Then the matter grew larger and larger, spiraling out of control; even before the anniversary date arrived, players had already quit as a sign of protest.

Seeing the daily active users of League of Legends plummeting and the voices of people quitting growing louder, the planners finally panicked and began urgently adjusting the anniversary events.

This includes but is not limited to gifting skins of higher value, increasing in-game benefits, improving the game environment, and so on.

They did indeed think about making amends, but compared to the damage caused before, this attitude is far from being sincere.

Actually, one or two skins with special effects really don't matter to most players; by comparison, they would rather see the League of Legends planning team explode on the spot—that would probably be even more satisfying.

Unfortunately, this situation can only exist in the imagination and cannot be truly realized.

Knowing that the players were truly angry this time, the planners promised to host this 8th Anniversary celebration well, and besides in-game benefits, they would also invite many big-name stars to accompany the players in celebrating the holiday.

In the past, anniversary celebrations always invited some well-known League of Legends streamers, and the activities and memes they played were things players could understand, which was indeed quite interesting.

But later, League of Legends became popular and its influence grew, and people in the entertainment industry wanted a piece of the pie, so the guests invited to the anniversary became traffic stars.

As soon as they heard the League planners were going to pull this move again, players immediately started complaining.

League players have a high overlap with Bilibili and Tieba users, and the common characteristic of users on these platforms is that they extremely loathe traffic stars.

Now that the League planners are pulling a stunt like this, isn't it obvious they're asking to be scolded?

Some hot-tempered brothers directly started scolding in the comment section: "You beast, if you dare to invite traffic fresh meat, your whole family will definitely spiral into the sky tonight!"

These were still the relatively gentle ones, without profanity; most were quite crude, and they would be deleted by the system shortly after being posted.

Yet, bearing such pressure, the official League of Legends account announced the list of stars invited this time.

Miss Luo Quan, as the main guest, appeared prominently in the center spot.

And besides her, the other guests were all celebrities within the League of Legends circle, such as well-known streamers, commentators, players, etc.

Which is to say, besides her, there were no true entertainment industry stars.

This sudden good news finally eased the mood of the players who had been angry for so many days.

After all, if one had to find someone pleasing to the eye among entertainment stars, it would probably be none other than Miss Luo Quan.

First, she is a veteran player, her rank is high, and she posted Weibo and status updates related to the game a long time ago, so her purity is absolutely unquestionable.

Then there's the most important thing: her appearance is high, her figure is good, and her professional level is top-tier.

For a star who is near-perfect in every aspect like this, players really can't find a reason to dislike her.

So when the official League account announced that Miss Luo Quan would participate in the anniversary, players praised her one after another:

"They finally did something human; I won't scold the planners today."

"Inviting Miss Luo Quan is acceptable; everyone likes her, and she has no negative news. I'll reward the planner's mother with one day of resurrection."

"By the way, does Miss Luo Quan have a livestream? Hurry up and go ask what the situation is."

"It would be great if she could release a song along with it."

"Indeed, she released a song for S7 before, so she has to come up with one this time no matter what."

"Go to the livestream chat and send a paid message to ask; Luo Bao will definitely agree."

…………

And so, netizens flocked to Miss Luo Quan's livestream chat.

At this time, she had already finished two rounds of URF; although she hadn't touched the game for a while, once she started, the feeling engraved in her muscles quickly returned.

Her reactions were still quick, her operations still sharp; she killed over forty people in two games, her style no less impressive than in the past.

"What's up? My mechanics are still so sharp; I'll reach Challenger easily with a bit of time."

Miss Luo Quan looked at the camera and boasted proudly.

"You reached Challenger after winning two rounds of URF? Where did you get this hallucination?"

"Luo Bao, you're really getting a bit carried away. If you actually start ranked later and get slaughtered, wouldn't your lifelong reputation be ruined?"

"Don't worry, with Miss Luo Quan's level, isn't playing placement matches just slaughtering?"

………………

Facing the fans' teasing, Miss Luo Quan laughed: "Haha, I'm just bragging, don't take it seriously, everyone. I can indeed reach Challenger, but the energy it takes is not just a little bit."

Fans immediately replied:

"Pass it on, Miss Luo Quan says Challenger is easy to reach, there's no difficulty at all."

"Pass it on, Miss Luo Quan says reaching Challenger is simple, not difficult in the slightest."

"Pass it on, Miss Luo Quan says she can crush professional players; if she went to play in tournaments, she'd get as many World Championship titles as she wanted."

"Pass it on, Miss Luo Quan has already started picking her championship skins."

……………

The fans' comments became more and more outrageous; Miss Luo Quan couldn't hold it in after watching for a while and quickly stopped them: "You guys are completely spreading rumors! When did I ever say these things? This isn't how you stir up hatred!"

But the fans didn't care about that and persistently kept pulling stunts:

"Coming from Weibo, who is Miss Luo Quan?"

"It seems the hope for the LPL this year has to be placed on Miss Luo Quan."

"Years ago in Shanghai, the LPL lost the World Championship title; I hope we can return to the peak in Iceland this year."

"Feels a bit difficult, the LCK side is too strong."

"Luo Bao, it's time for you to shine; you're the human koi fish, can't you just send a few blessings and take it down directly?"

"That's right, Luo Bao, you can't hold back at a time like this; if we really win the championship because of your blessing, we'll credit you with two-thirds of the merit directly!"

………………

"I've said it countless times, this luck only works for me, and it's not 100% effective for me either." Miss Luo Quan sighed helplessly: "For example, if I'm thirsty now and want orange juice, will orange juice just appear in front of me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a knock-knock sound came from outside the door.

"Who is it?" Miss Luo Quan asked.

"It's me, big sis. Mia squeezed some orange juice, do you want some?" Gao Liang shouted from outside the room.

When the fans heard this, they were directly shocked:

"Holy crap, was this planned?"

"Dare to be any more coincidental?"

"This belongs to the 'words become reality' category."

"As expected of you, Luo Bao, whatever you think of, it comes!"

"Stop! You demon, and you still say you're not a human koi fish!"

………………

The facts were right in front of them; when Miss Luo Quan said she was thirsty, someone really came to deliver a drink to her immediately, and it was exactly what she wanted.

The key was that this verification process couldn't have been prepared in advance; it was completely brought up by the chat on the fly, and Miss Luo Quan was just forced to deny it.

Who knew that before she even finished denying it, Gao Liang had already arrived at the door with the orange juice.

"It can't really be this coincidental, right?" Miss Luo Quan muttered as she opened the door, seeing Gao Liang grinning while holding a tray.

Besides the orange juice, there were two steaming chicken legs on it; they looked like they were made by Mia because they smelled completely different from what's made in fast-food restaurants—they smelled more fragrant.

"Are you livestreaming?" Gao Liang stretched his neck to glance at the computer and said with a grin: "This is a roasted chicken leg Mia learned to make herself. Big sis, give us a review and see if there's anything that needs improvement.

Also, this orange juice is freshly squeezed, absolutely natural with no additives."

"You guys still have the leisure to do your own catering research." Miss Luo Quan smiled as she took the tray and picked up a chicken leg to take a bite.

"The taste is not bad, the spices are marinated very well, it's just that it was roasted for a slightly short time; you could release it for a bit longer to make the skin crispier." Miss Luo Quan made her review after chewing a couple of times.

"It seems Mia's work this time is a success; she finally learned to make a dish." Gao Liang celebrated happily, "Then big sis, eat slowly, I'm going down to tell her this good news."

After saying that, he left the room with a face full of smiles.

Sitting back in her chair, Miss Luo Quan gnawed on the roasted chicken leg; the chat was all playing memes:

"Streamer, streamer, is this your younger brother? He's so handsome."

"You're acting like you don't know Gao Liang?"

"Streamer, streamer, how did you and your brother meet?"

"?"

"When I send a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem."

"League players know how to make people's blood pressure rise."

"Let's all stop changing the subject. Everyone has seen the power of Luo Bao's mouth now; it would be a pity if she didn't offer a blessing for the LPL."

"That's right, Luo Bao, now is not the time to be stingy; whether we can save the LPL from fire and water depends on you!"

………………

Looking at these expectant words in the chat, Miss Luo Quan also knew that everyone was truly longing for this championship.

After all, the public outcry was so high last year, and they were about to win the championship, but it was taken by the LCK, and at home, no less.

This humiliation is second only to watching the Korean civil war at the Bird's Nest in S7. The League players' longing to win another championship can be said to be incomparably strong, reaching the point of leaving no stone unturned; all kinds of metaphysical and superstitious methods are emerging one after another, wasting all those years of compulsory education from the country.

However, compared to Miss Luo Quan, the methods above are truly small potatoes.

They just witnessed what it means for a thought to arise and for it to happen, so they urgently need Miss Luo Quan to cheer for the LPL, and they firmly believe that if she does so, it can really be realized.

Actually, Miss Luo Quan knows in her heart that her good luck constitution only works for herself in most cases, and whether she can make words become reality also depends on luck.

So, as long as it has nothing to do with herself, she generally won't offer any blessings.

But now that so many people are begging her, it would be too heartless if she kept refusing.

So Miss Luo Quan finally said: "Then I will help the LPL teams about to set out here, hoping they can win this year's World Championship and leave all players with beautiful memories!"

As soon as these words were out, the players in the livestream chat were suddenly all smiles:

"Thanks, Luo Bao, I'm relieved now that you've said that."

"Very spirited, it seems our LPL is bound to win this S11!"

"Still can't get too carried away; no matter how powerful metaphysics is, it can't save a doomed ghost."

"No matter what, we'll know the outcome in two months."

"This counts as the final gift for the 8th Anniversary; it's much better than sending everyone trash skins."

"The planners have been beasts their whole lives, but they did one good thing before they died."

"When a person is about to die, their words are good, after all."

"Looking forward to the 8th Anniversary performance; Luo Bao must slaughter those streamers fiercely."

"Haha, maybe Luo Bao can even slaughter those retired players."

"It's really possible; some people have retired, and now it's a struggle for them to even play in a Diamond game, while Luo Bao is truly controlling the lightning at the Diamond level."

"Looking forward to it."

"By the way, did Luo Bao prepare a song for the 8th Anniversary this time?"

"That's right, shouldn't we have a battle song for such an important day?"

………………

After paving the way for so long, the question fans cared about most finally appeared, intruding into Miss Luo Quan's field of vision in the most unexpected way.

"Alright, so you guys chatted for so long just to get to this, right?"

Miss Luo Quan showed an expression of "I knew this moment would come," and then laughed again: "Everyone knows my habit; for such an important occasion, how can there be no exclusive BGM for my entrance?

The new song has already been prepared—a Chinese song that will not only be performed for the first time on the anniversary stage but will also serve as the theme song for this S11, stepping onto the international stage!

How about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"
