Chapter 399

VG team internal channel.

"Xiao Duan always buys full true sight when going out, scans without leaving cooldown, mainly watch these few positions (ding ding ding), guaranteeing no enemy vision."

"Okay!"

"Marquis, change your trinket to scanning, go down lane, no need to cross river, after clearing lane go to jungle to help place wards, it's fine if the tower's down, we just need good vision."

"OKOK."

"Luxuanjun, stock up on true sight yourself, push the lane as far as possible—either don't die, or guarantee you have teleport."

"Hmm."

"What about me? What about me?" Gangzi asked proactively.

"You take mid lane, coordinate with us to control vision in the lower half."

"Got it!"

Liang Yan commanded calmly, his voice like a whisk, sweeping away the faint panic that had just risen in everyone's hearts, leaving only confidence and tranquility.

On the wall in front of the red side's lower jungle Magic Swamp Frog camp stood a VG fake ward; Gangzi saw Mang Seng farming the Magic Swamp Frog and half-jokingly said:

"Holy crap, Jiao Shen, someone's stealing your toad!"

Liang Yan chuckled, clicked twice on Gangzi's EZ's ready ultimate—this is a feature added by Riot in recent patches: any visible information can be sent by pressing Alt+left click, automatically forwarding details like skill cooldown, health/mana, items, etc., to the team chat.

Gangzi understood at a glance, switched his view over, closed his eyes and flung the ultimate—whoosh, a precise barrage flew across half the map.

The barrage swept over, and a golden number popped up on EZ.

【56】

If a jungler with a jungle knife came to eat this Magic Swamp Frog, the bounty would be 86, but Gangzi, playing AD, lacks the jungle knife bonus, so he gets thirty less.

The live audience erupted.

Guan Zeyuan also exclaimed:

"We got it! VG really treats WE's lower jungle as their own home, not letting them eat a single Magic Swamp Frog!"

"This is so frustrating."

"No, it's more like they're being overly arrogant!"

"But speaking of which, Shuijing Ge's ultimate is really accurate."

"56 bucks in hand, feeling great!"

"Hey, can't count it that way, it's not just 56 bucks!"

"Huh? How should we calculate then?"

"Like this, Condi didn't get that monster, so he lost 5—uh, no, the jungle knife gives an extra 30 gold bounty, so Condi actually lost 86 gold, right?"

"Hmm, then what?"

"Condi lost 86, Shuijing Ge gained an extra 56—use the addition your elementary teacher taught you to calculate how much WE's gap widened."

"86+56... 142!"

"Exactly, your not getting it equals my getting it; your not getting it while I do equals me getting two waves, so this wave actually means WE lost 142 gold."

"Hiss—! That's half a kill!"

"So WE suffered heavy losses!"

Guan Zeyuan and they remembered to harmonize, making the audience laugh loudly.

In the live stream, barrage filled the screen, all kinds of incomprehensible phrases like "Valley Relativity" and "Guan's Algorithm".

Joker sat in a corner of the commentator's desk, frowning slightly without speaking.

He turned it over in his mind several times, couldn't find any logical flaw in Guan Zeyuan's algorithm, yet faintly felt something was off.

Meanwhile, in VG's team voice channel, Gangzi also received a wave of praise from his teammates.

Liang Yan also laughed and teased:

"Fine, next time the responsibility of taking Baron will be yours."

"Hahaha..."

Condi's mindset was a bit broken.

At 16 minutes, he had only seventy last hits, which isn't pretty, but seems barely acceptable, right? However, he cleared four groups of Stone Armor Beetles and three groups of F6!

Seven groups of jungle monsters gave only around six hundred gold, yet he gained fifty-eight last hits!

Originally jungle monsters are worth far more than lane minions, but on Condi it's reversed, because the Stone Armor Beetles split into little Stone Armor Beetles that are worthless; averaging his fifty-eight last hits, each is worth just over ten gold.

Not even as good as a ranged minion!

And what about the enemy Mantis?

He has over ninety last hits, and he's been eating big meat like toads, river crabs, and three wolves!

"Damn, I really don't feel like playing anymore, guys..."

Condi said a frustrated remark.

957 and Xi Ye hurried to comfort him, afraid he'd really throw down his mouse and quit.

Xi Ye even marked the cannon cart in the wave he was clearing:

"Kangdi, don't get mad, come over, I'll let you eat the cannon cart."

Condi took a look, the wave was right in front of the lower tower, not far, so he actually ran over and ate the cannon cart; Xi Ye thoughtfully used a basic attack to whittle the cannon cart down to low health, letting Condi easily toss a Heavenly Sound Wave from afar to finish it.

When this scene appeared on the big screen, Guan Zeyuan instantly laughed and teased:

"Oh wow, Xi Ye, you're too righteous—seeing Condi toss a Magic Swamp Frog, you deliberately left him a cannon cart to eat, the mid‑jungle brothers' bond runs deep!"

"Uh, maybe Condi just happened to be short on gold for gear?"

"Probably not; I think it's purely a consolation prize, since he already has a tier‑3 jungle knife and a pair of armor boots, which is the limit for this level of Mang Seng's development—the second item is far off, so what difference would a little money make? Would he spend it on small items?"

"Um…… you're right."

The barrage started spamming things like "sexy" and "0011".

But in the backstage WE lounge, Hong Mi couldn't be happy at all.

As a Han Guo coach who is extremely sensitive to cost-effectiveness and team economic efficiency, Hong Mi felt this kind of thing was too absurd.

Team atmosphere is certainly important, but it's not to the point that a Syndra who hasn't even finished her own two-piece set lets the tanky Mang Seng give up the cannon minion, right?!

If it were a lopsided stomping match with a huge advantage, that would be fine, but this isn't that either!

Utterly ridiculous!

Just then, the camera switched to the top lane river; the Blue Steel Shadow hiding in the blue side's blue buff jungle flew out with a grappling hook, its ultimate covering the crocodile of 957 who had previously been roaming to mid lane and was now returning from the river to the top lane; Bu Long and Mantis then rushed in from another jungle gap, and EZ also flanked from mid lane.

Oh no, Tui Ge got caught again!

It's over, Tui Ge didn't flash.

We'll have to explain it here.

Boom—, Bu Long smashed his ultimate from afar.

The Mantis spread its wings and lightly leapt over.

The crocodile unleashed its ultimate; after finishing the combo it was stunned, losing control and already low on health, it could only wait to die in place.

Ezreal leaped forward two thousand units, his Mystic Shot at maximum range snagged an assist.

Fu Lan Duo kicked out, using the specially saved two-segment Q to secure the kill.
