Chapter 482: Happy Game (Part 2)

Xi Ye wanted to rely on his teammates' prestige to go on a killing spree, relentlessly pursuing.

Liang Yan truly couldn't beat him in a one-on-one, so he activated his ultimate to go invisible and run.

Xi Ye got carried away, scaling two walls in pursuit, but little did he know people's hearts are treacherous—just as he landed, Xiao Duan, hiding beside the wall, wrapped him in a vine.

Liang Yan turned back, jumped up, grabbing and biting, putting in great effort.

Xi Ye's health dropped instantly.

Suddenly, a 'Biu' sound.

Eight hundred li away, Sima Laozei unleashed a deadly brilliant strike, snagging the kill.

Liang Yan was speechless.

Xiao Duan burst out laughing in the headset, shouting, "You've got your day too!"

Sima Laozei's mouth twitched; he was clearly laughing inside as well.

Liang Yan silently recalled, switched view to the top lane, and saw Fu Lan Duo charging into the tower again to fight 957. The two probed each other wildly, and when 957 was down to a sliver of health he flashed away. Fu Lan Duo thought she had the kill and likewise flashed out of the tower.

As a result, 957 actually stabilized his health by popping potions and activating a shield, avoiding death from bleed damage.

Fu Lan Duo, unwilling to give up, kept pressing at the tower.

957 deliberately provoked, frantically side‑jumping on the edge of suicide.

Liang Yan caught a glimpse on the minimap of the female gunner dashing up, flashing through a ward's vision, didn't warn Fu Lan Duo, but himself slipped out quietly toward the top lane.

Xiao Duan, sharp‑eyed, saw a huge minion wave piled up before the red side tower, and, 'with ill intent,' ran from mid lane up, hoping to leech some kills.

Liang Yan stayed silent at first, waiting until Fu Lan Duo was indeed taken down by the female gunner, then frantically pinged a retreat on Xiao Duan's head.

Xiao Duan had reached the middle of the river, feeling aggrieved he stopped, but then turned and ran toward the enemy jungle; shortly afterward, low‑health and shouting, he emerged with a male gunner.

Liang Yan certainly wouldn't just watch someone die without helping; he slipped through his own jungle, teamed up with Xiao Duan to take down the male gunner, and claimed the game's second kill.

By then, WE's mid and bottom laners had grouped in mid lane, pushing the minion wave into the tower, and Lan Bo had teleported down; the three of them began to demolish the tower together.

Xiao Duan was too low on health, Fu Lan Duo had already teleported to top lane, Sima Laozei was solo‑pushing bottom, and mid lane was clearly indefensible. Seeing the situation was hopeless, Liang Yan pinged a retreat to Easyhoon, then once again led Xiao Duan up the lane.

Seeing VG about to swap towers, 957 was in mid lane tearing down the tower with teammates when he ran up halfway, charging forward to unleash his ultimate to clear the wave and lock down that top tower—but before he could get into cast range, Xiao Duan's ultimate flung him away, costing him his life and the tower fell.

Liang Yan snagged the third kill.

The clock was just past eleven minutes, the kill score was 9‑6, but because WE had taken down an extra tower, their economies were roughly even.

The chaotic fun brawl continued, everyone—human or ghost—was showing off, only 957 was getting beaten.

The crowd gasped again and again, while laughter never ceased on the commentator's desk.

Gangzi sat in the restroom, feeling itchy all over, regretting so much his intestines turned green; had he known this match would be so fun, he shouldn't have agreed to sit out.

Next, VG's top laner, jungler, and support grouped in the upper half, posturing to strongly push WE's second top tower.

The two supports, 'tightly united,' stayed beside the explosively farming Nuo Shou, began to zone and provide assistance; occasionally shifting to defend mid lane, Sima Laozei would lob a skill from afar just to join the fun.

After several small‑scale skirmishes, VG actually opened up a larger kill lead.

Before they knew it, Liang Yan and Fu Lan Duo's gold kept rising.

At 15 minutes, the two, out of ammo and supplies, finally recalled.

The moment they stepped out, their gear was nearly identical: both had tier‑2 boots, one major item plus two minor items—the second item only lacked a little synthesis cost.

On WE's side, the best‑looking record was actually Ben's female gunner at 4‑3‑2, followed by Mystic's bomb‑man at 2‑1‑2; everyone else had negative records.

Constantly targeted, 957 fared worst at 0‑6‑3, with under 100 last hits.

Of course, by this point even the cloud spectators could see that everyone was just messing around; this match was pure entertainment from start to finish, so nobody would tie its stats to player skill—it was just for fun.

Of course, the players' mechanics displayed in the match were still quite genuine.

It is clear that Liang Yan's Mantis is markedly superior in mechanics; because he long avoided going back to buy items, even though his gear often lagged, he consistently made up the difference with mechanics at crucial moments, his kill‑stealing technique is superb, and when he drops to low health, his stealth‑approach reverse EQ to snag a kill and similar extreme plays are commonplace—so much so that even Nuo Shou, with strong execute, sometimes can't out‑kill him.

Such jaw‑dropping mechanics often become the decisive weight that tips the balance, giving VG repeated victories in fights where Liang Yan participates.

As time went on, VG's advantage grew larger.

At the 20‑minute mark, the combined kill count had reached thirty‑two, the score was extremely lopsided: VG 22, WE 10.

The game had entered the phase where Nuo Shou and Mantis competed for 'Kill King'; at this point each had eight kills, yet neither had achieved a Godlike streak.

As the saying goes, 'who walks by the river doesn't get wet shoes?' The Mantis's frame is truly too fragile; even if Liang Yan's blade‑edge dancing skill is peerless, he has still died once.

When Liang Yan died again at 21 minutes, Fu Lan Duo saw a chance to widen the gap, charging solo into WE's jungle and pursuing anyone she saw; even after being surrounded by three WE members she still brandished her axe and pressed forward.

Although Nuo Shou already had three items, WE had no reason to hold back; they eventually paid three lives to finally slay the overloaded Hand of Noxus.

Unfortunately this version lacks individual kill bounties; Nuo Shou's big‑kill bounty was split evenly among all WE members, and the one who finished him, Xi Ye, also eventually bled out to death.

Meanwhile, Easyhoon also solo‑killed the female gunner down lane—Ben's record remained the best among WE's five, his farm even better than 957's and Xi Ye's, so he's been treated as a core, often assigned to lane duties.

Although nobody had deliberately shot‑called tactics the whole game, at this moment WE's four were dead while VG's four were alive—no need for anyone to say anything, VG all rushed to the Dragon Pit and claimed the first Baron Nashor in about half a minute.

Actually the situation had long been unbalanced; VG just hadn't done a grouped push, so it appeared WE could still trade blows with VG.

But once the Dragon buff was taken, the combat‑power gap could no longer be contained.
