Chapter 18: Your Jungler Is Still Farming F4!

Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, and he quickly clicked to check the hero's attribute panel, discovering that the enemy's fixed armor was not fully equipped.

Preferring damage output is good; if the enemy had properly equipped full fixed armor, with the Gragas's early-game healing and W's damage reduction, finding an opportunity for a solo kill might not have been so easy, but now, whether the opponent swapped armor for cooldown reduction or magic penetration, level three! Only level three is needed for Zed to find an all-in opportunity.

As a streamer, ranking up is certainly important, but entertainment value is also a must.

And for a skill-based streamer, what could be better for entertainment value than a solo kill online?

"Play it safe early on, wait for me to gank; the new hero's stats are a bit ridiculous," Ming Kai typed while hitting jungle monsters.

cool: "No need!"

In front of the computer, a young man with a gloomy expression typed back.

We just exchanged blows; it was just a loss from one skill, Gragas's passive heals a bit, why call the jungler?

cool thought no further and buried his head in farming with Zed.

"This Gragas can turn into 300 yuan!"

"Brothers, watch my Shadow Step—Solo! Kill! Barrier!"

Under the camera, the sound of metal clashing echoed through the Rift as Zed's shurikens and Gragas's oak barrel sparked.

Jiang Ming, who had originally been expressionless and immersed in the lane matchup against Gragas, suddenly raised his left hand and played at forming hand seals with one hand, causing the barrage to scroll wildly.

【???】

【Holy crap, ninja hand seals!】

【This guy's showing off caught me off guard!】

【Damn, the streamer scared me suddenly.】

【Hey, normal, normal; the one above is obviously a newbie; if JM doesn't pull stunts while streaming, I'm not used to it.】

【Okay, okay, so this is the legendary one-handed domination, right?】

【Who can possibly stream better than you!】

Inside the game screen, the real Zed, positioned at the corner of the river, feigned last-hitting to lure cool's Gragas to throw the Q skill; the moment the 【Rolling Barrel】 was thrown, he suddenly activated W Shadow Clone.

In an instant, as Gragas raised his hand, Zed and his shadow swapped positions, unleashing a basic attack followed immediately by four shurikens.

【Ninjutsu—Shadow Art: All Blades】

【Shadow Art: Shadow Slash!】

After the shurikens, there was a circle of blade slashes.

Hoo!

Red flames burned atop Gragas's head; the Gragas, who originally had three-quarters of his health, instantly dropped to one-third.

Click, another basic attack landed, triggering the Master of Shadows' passive maximum health damage effect.

"Come, learn a solo kill tip with the streamer: first A once, then A once again, finally A a hundred million times!"

"Yo-ho, you even used Flash; your jungler is still farming F4, can't save you."

"Solo kill, secured!"

Firstblood!

JM killed cool!

【???】

【Wait, brother, how are we supposed to learn this? A once, then A a hundred million times?】

【So you're ignoring the WQAEA combo before that, right!】

【How did the streamer reach level three?】

【666, damn, that burst damage.】

【After watching the streamer's Zed, I finally know it's not that the new hero is trash, but that those ranked players practicing the new hero are trash.】

【Losing so little health early on, solo killing at level three is too ridiculous.】

Facing various praises from the barrage, Jiang Ming, who had just completed a very cool solo kill, remained expressionless, but thinking he needed entertainment value, after a tactical drink of water, he had to deliberately speak in a humble-brag tone: "Thanks to the enemy Gragas old iron for the solo kill tutorial!"

"Did everyone learn it? If you didn't, no worries; today's tuition is free!"

"Wait, how did the mid lane get solo killed?" At this time, the still-young Ming Kai couldn't help but type two question marks in mid lane.

Not buddy, what's wrong with you? If you're bad at the game, don't pretend; saying no need for the jungler.

Getting pinned to the ground at level three; later, don't raise a BOSS; early-game Caitlyn needs to farm anyway; wanting to save Mercury's Treads to counter Zed's ultimate, who knows how long that will take.

Facing the jungler's question marks, Wu Zhuangtai's face turned iron-green, yet he didn't know how to explain, since the previous second he had told the jungler not to come.

"Mistake; he stole level three from me."

Just now, his Gragas intended to use E on a low-health cannon minion to deal AOE damage while instantly leveling to three, but he didn't expect Zed's hand speed to be faster, synchronizing WQE combo.

The real body Q passed through his own Gragas's body, the shadow Q hit the side lane minion; the calculated damage made the cannon minion, which had just entered the kill threshold, fall instantly.

Level three against level two; by the time he reacted, Zed's second W had closed the distance, followed by Ignite and passive basic attacks, dealing all the burst damage... In the end, it was just Flash for Flash, and he was chased down for a final basic attack in front of the turret.

Stubbornly typing words in the chat box, Wu Zhuangtai, who had already respawned at the fountain, looked at the merchant's shop.

The mouse had originally clicked on the Amplifying Tome, but thinking of the Master of Shadows' terrifying burst damage, he quickly dragged it toward the Cloth Armor.

"Ahem, mage versus assassin, building Zhonya's first is no problem at all."

Back in the game, after securing first blood, Jiang Ming quickly cleared a wave of minions and returned home, not forgetting to explain to the audience: "This wave secured first blood, our state is still good; even if Lee Sin comes, we're not afraid, so push the minion wave under the enemy turret before returning, otherwise there's a risk of being wave-frozen."

"Gragas's death respawn plus the time to return to lane is insufficient to arrive; at least a few minions will be lost; by the time the turret eats enough, the new wave will just be arriving at mid lane; we have no loss."

"Everyone must remember, kills are certainly delicious, but sometimes the amount of minion gold is the key to widening the gap between both sides."

"Of course, to avoid losing experience on lane, this wave we can buy dual boots; no rush to transition into the Brutalizer; without Flash, the next time Blind Monk comes mid will be very dangerous."

The match continued.

Just as Jiang Ming said, Ming Kai's Blind Monk visited the mid lane multiple times in the following minutes, not targeting Smile in the bottom lane frequently as some WE fans had thought.

Facing the pressure from the enemy mid laner and jungler, Jiang Ming likewise refused Imperial Prince's protection.

"Brother, go gank bottom lane; don't let Caitlyn touch Ezreal's tower."

"Brothers and sisters in the live stream, now A-Ming continues to teach you how to deal with the jungler's targeting."

"Buy wards, buy wards, remember you must buy wards!"

"Buying wards isn't just the support's job; a ward costs so little, compared to giving away three hundred gold yourself, it's always a worthwhile deal."

"Of course, after buying wards, it's not enough to just plant one in the left bush and one in the right; there is much knowledge in it."

"We currently have lane priority; the Blind Monk's Sonic Wave just exposed his position on the F4, which means the bottom-side jungle monsters have been cleared, so focus your wards on the top side."

"Don't place them in the river; push forward a bit, directly shove them into the bush in front of the Blue Buff wall; if you push slightly forward, won't that block the enemy's space to gank you?"

"The Blue Buff entrance?"

"The Blue Buff entrance is the top laner's job; if vision is missed there, remember to roast the top laner; roast one, and they won't say a word."

"Generally, as long as the top laner still needs mid-jungle support, they will absolutely have to listen to you obediently."

Jiang Ming, who was determined to raise the overall level of the national server, explained while controlling his hero.
