Chapter 706: Jiao Shen, I'm your fan!
The livestream continued.
They hadn't exchanged a few words when, in less than half a minute, they had queued for the first match.
This is the advantage of the national server—massive player numbers, especially after several times when things related to Liang Yan went viral, bringing a huge wave of new players to Tengzi; now the national server's player count is completely on a different scale compared to the national server of Season 7 in another timeline.
"Just playing ranked is boring; let's add some stakes."
Liang Yan said into the microphone,
"How about drawing a Blind Monk champion skin for every death in today's matches?"
Saying that, he started setting up the giveaway.
However, just as Liang Yan finished speaking, Fu Lan Duo's retort sounded from beside him: "You're just pushing your skin again, and it's really unfair— in this kind of game you could go wild even using a keyboard instead of a mouse, and you're queuing duo with Ma Ge. If you're reluctant to give it away, just say so; we fans don't lack this money, we can buy it ourselves."
The viewers in the livestream heard this, and many switched screens to Fu Lan Duo's livestream to send barrage messages mocking him:
【You don't know jack, can a skin you buy yourself be the same as one Jiao Shen gives?】
【Just backhandedly click to join the giveaway, right~】
【You're seriously underestimating Jiao Shen— even if his hands were tied, in this kind of game he could stomp the enemy using his feet on the keyboard】
【The earlier brother still underestimated Jiao Shen's strength— even if his computer exploded and his hands and feet were tied, he could dial binary codes on a landline with his tongue and still crush anyone】
【It's true, I blew up the computer, I turned into that landline phone ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄】
【If you want Jiao Shen to lick you, just say so】
【I admit the Jiao Shen you guys talk about is strong, but if I directly lock in Unparalleled Sword Saint, farm safely to level 6, activate Plateau Bloodline, and start with flash + auto-attack, how would you respond, sir?】
"Hahahahaha…… holy shit you guys…… hahahahaha……"
Fu Lan Duo was amused to death by these people.
Liang Yan leaned over to take a look, couldn't help shaking his head, genuinely feeling that humanity's future was already pitch black.
"The third floor said they wanted to swap positions with me."
Sima Laozei suddenly said into the microphone:
Liang Yan turned to look at his screen; at this point both sides had finished banning five champions and begun picking, Sima Laozei was on first pick, had already locked in Caitlyn, then a player with the ID "Xiangjiao Ge Bale" sent a few messages in the team text chat:
【Can the handsome guy on first pick swap?】
【I can't play mid, only AD】
【Please】
【Trust me, I'm slippery as an AD】
After reading, Liang Yan told Sima Laozei: "You decide, anyway we're just going to fish."
Sima Laozei, however, was more serious, typing to ask the teammate wanting the position: 【Can you play Caitlyn?】
The other replied: 【Yes! My Caitlyn is especially slippery!】
Sima Laozei then said: "Alright then."
Then the barrage urged Liang Yan to give the jungle to Sima Laozei and play mid himself; Liang Yan thought that wasn't bad, so he swapped with Sima Laozei.
After picking, the three began swapping positions.
Liang Yan mid lane Yasuo.
Sima Laozei jungle Rek'Sai.
Xiangjiao Ge Bale AD Caitlyn.
Upon entering the game, presumably the barrage had tipped off the enemy; a player who was likely a streamer from some platform immediately typed:
【Jiao Shen is good! Ma Ge is good! Go easy!】
The public chat instantly filled with various "holy shits"; teammate Xiangjiao Ge Bale also sent a message in the team channel: 【0.0, Jiao Shen, I'm your fan!】
Liang Yan replied in public chat with "Hello", and Sima Laozei typed a ".".
That streamer player then said:
【Ma Ge, you didn't say hello to me, I want to…】
【Jungle!】
Sima Laozei: 【lai】
The battle began.
Liang Yan played wildly at level 1, learning E and sliding all over; after the enemy mid Syndra landed two Qs, she typed "..." and stopped wasting mana on him.
Sima Laozei also played recklessly, ignoring the jungle at level 1 and invading to harass the enemy's jungle start, but the enemy had a top laner help with the leash; nonetheless, Sima Laozei's play snatched the red buff and got away.
The enemy jungle streamer got furious, typing while chasing, pursued Sima Laozei for eight blocks; finally Sima Laozei came to mid lane seeking refuge, Liang Yan flashed a G2 emblem, controlled Yasuo standing in the mid lane open space and twitched twice, after which the enemy jungle streamer merely snorted and left.
The whole match was full of joy, the livestream barrage filled the screen with hahaha.
After finishing a set of training, Fu Lan Duo didn't play anymore, turned her chair to sit beside and watch Liang Yan play, trying to act as his commander, but was rebutted by both Liang Yan and the barrage.
Two top pro players duo queuing in a Master game, even though Liang Yan's tier is like that, although not as exaggerated as the barrage in Fu Lan Duo's earlier livestream claimed, it's actually not much different from a bot game.
But surprisingly, the first kill was neither made by Liang Yan nor snatched by Sima Laozei; it came from the bottom lane.
A few minutes in, word came from the bottom lane.
Our support traded one for two, and Caitlyn secured a double kill.
During the fight, Liang Yan switched screens to glance a few times; Fu Lan Duo knew what had happened with this kill and exclaimed: "Nice, this Caitlyn is really not bad."
Liang Yan seized the moment to retort: "Of course, it's better than how you play."
Fu Lan Duo: "middle finger"
Sima Laozei also commented: "He knows how to play."
Xiangjiao Ge Bale presumably had by now opened Liang Yan's livestream, could hear the three's conversation, and directly typed in the team channel:
【Because I'm the Caitlyn main!】
The three initially didn't react to what that meant, but Liang Yan's neighbor Easyhoon suddenly asked: "Is he JC?"
The three finally reacted, holy shit, she's really a policewoman!
Fu Lan Duo exclaimed: "If she's playing a game and the opponent hacks, can she just reach through the network cable and arrest them?"
Can only say her imagination is quite wild.
A few minutes later, Xia Lu reported another success: the policewoman took another kill; Sima Laozei had just slain the enemy jungler streamer in Ye Qu, saw the situation, rushed over, and together with the duo destroyed the bottom tower.
While Liang Yan's Yasuo was sliding happily in Zhong Lu, he got nothing, was teased a few times by the chat, his face a bit embarrassed, he went all-in with skill, tower-dived to kill Syndra once, salvaging some face; then he shrugged, took the advantage but acted humble: "I almost got killed by the turret, first time playing Wind Man I'm not very practiced, don't learn from me."
By ten minutes, the gold deficit was estimated over five thousand, the situation had collapsed, and finally the enemy called for a surrender at fifteen minutes.
At the end, checking the score, the policewoman had 8 kills, 0 deaths, 2 assists—she actually went godlike.
Finally, the policewoman typed a few words in the end-game screen, thanking Jiao Shen Ma Ge for carrying her to rank up, etc., then asked for Liang Yan and Ma Ge's friend slots, thinking that they rarely get to play games while serving the people, so both gave them.
As a result, after they added Liang Yan as a friend, the other side sent a private chat:
【Don't fix matches, okay! Otherwise Sis will come catch you! Good luck in S7!】
Indeed, truly a policewoman through and through...
End of Chapter
