Chapter 5: Asking, How Do I Build Items?

"Su Xing, can you play now?"

Uzi asked, "Or do you need to rest for a bit?"

"I can."

Su Xing nodded. "I have no problem."

"OK, I'll create the room."

Soon, Uzi created a custom room and invited him in. After both sides confirmed, they started the first training match of the Legend Cup directly.

"Should we swap lanes this game?"

During the BP phase, Uzi proposed his idea and asked, "Otherwise, the pressure on AJ will be too great."

"Sure, I have no problem."

AJ said confidently, "I'll pick Ornn this game to play like a dog, I'll be stable as a rock."

"What about Su Xing? What do you want to play? The opposing mid laner is also a former pro, their strength should be at the Canyon King level."

As the captain, Uzi's mouth hadn't stopped; he could be considered half a coach.

"I don't know the newly released heroes, anything else is fine."

Su Xing thought for a few seconds and said, "How about I play Orianna? I shouldn't be rusty with that."

For every professional mid laner, the hero Orianna is a fundamental skill. To exaggerate, someone who can't even play Orianna well doesn't deserve to continue playing professionally.

Although he hadn't played League of Legends for several years, some things were carved into his bones and had become instinctive.

"OK, then Orianna it is."

Uzi praised, "I can only say this is the confidence of an old player; no matter when, there's always an Orianna they can take out."

Su Xing:... Old player.

He didn't know why, but whenever he heard others use "old player" to describe him, he easily felt dazed. In the blink of an eye, he was also considered an old thing among pro players.

"Gou Ye, what are you implying?"

AJ laughed. If he remembered correctly, today's match seemed... "Ahem, I didn't say anything."

Uzi quickly changed the subject and asked, "Then let's ban Shy-ge's Rumble and K'Sante. Oh, right, ban Aatrox too. Should we ban Jayce?"

"If all else fails, just ban Shy-ge."

Beishang commented sharply. "I think that's a good idea."

AJ said extremely seriously, "How are we supposed to play..."

"It's fine, don't have any pressure."

Uzi smiled and said, "Entertainment, entertainment, understand?"

Seeing Uzi say this, Su Xing was slightly stunned. He immediately turned off his microphone, turned his head to look at Gao Wen beside him, and asked suspiciously, "When did Uzi's temper become so good?"

You've got to be kidding me.

When he was in the secondary league, he heard that Uzi's temper was extremely explosive, the kind that could get "red-warmed" just by playing a ranked game. In the few minutes he had been in contact with him now, he felt Uzi's temper seemed completely different from the rumors.

"He's a father now."

Gao Wen smiled slightly and explained, "Boys, they always grow up overnight."

Hearing this, Su Xing suddenly realized. So that's how it was... "Send me the address here, I'll see what food delivery is nearby."

Su Xing picked up his phone and said, "I didn't eat much on the plane, I'm a bit hungry."

"I ordered for you."

Gao Wen picked up her phone and shook it. "The crab roe buns you used to like have a chain store nearby, and I also ordered coffee for you." Su Xing was silent for a moment, and in the end, he didn't say anything and put his headphones back on.

Seeing this, the light in Gao Wen's eyes dimmed slightly. Looking at Su Xing's back, she felt as if she had returned to the time when they were together a few years ago.

At the same time, the lineups for both sides had been selected. On Ning's side, it was Vayne top, Vi jungle, Taliyah mid, and Kai'Sa + Janna bot.

On Su Xing's side, it was Ornn top, Viego jungle, Orianna mid, and Lucian + Nami bot.

"Theshy still likes playing long-range top laners so much."

Seeing that the opposing top laner was Vayne, Su Xing couldn't help but recall that in the year S10, Theshy, who was still in IG, also seemed to like picking those long-range AD heroes for the top lane, torturing all the top lane players at the time.

"By the way, how do I build Orianna now?"

Just at this moment, Su Xing asked. As for runes, he saw that the game now had built-in recommended options, but the problem was the item build... he really couldn't understand it.

"Oh right, how do I build Ornn?"

AJ also asked. No way, he hadn't played League of Legends for a long time either, and he didn't know what many items were for.

Uzi: "OP. GG has it, you guys can go take a look."

Support Xiao Duan said, "How to add points, how to build items—there are detailed guides."

"Oh right, almost forgot about OP. GG."

Su Xing nodded.

He didn't expect this thing to still be around. He used to like looking at what the current version's heroes were on OP. GG.

"I'm already looking, got it, Ornn needs to build Sunfire first!"

Soon, they entered the loading screen. At the same time, a virtual interface similar to the game replay system appeared before Su Xing's eyes.

"Is this 【Prophet Replay】?"

Every function of this virtual interface before his eyes was like the game's replay system: red and blue sides, the heroes on both sides were exactly the same as his current match.

There were various labels on the progress bar below, such as who got a kill at what time, or what someone did at what time—everything could be seen at a glance.

"Uzi gets a double kill at 4:20 in the bot lane, the opposing jungler gets a kill in the top lane at 5:25, our jungler gets the first dragon at 7:01..."

"In the end, we actually lost?"

Using his mind to pull the progress bar to the end, Su Xing saw that the outcome of this training match was that his side lost.

"I actually didn't get solo-killed. Looks like the fundamentals are indeed still there."

Su Xing reviewed some of the things that happened at the nodes he had just seen. Although the final data wasn't very good, he didn't get solo-killed throughout the entire game.

A person who hadn't played the game for three years could avoid being solo-killed against a Canyon King—isn't this a manifestation of talent? "But the problem is that I know what's going to happen at every node next. Once I try to change it, can a different ending appear?"

At first, Su Xing was a bit curious, but upon reflection, he felt this worry was actually redundant.

If it was just a one-time change, it would be difficult to affect the final outcome, unless he kept interfering to change it, then it might be possible to rewrite the original ending.

A few seconds later, they entered the Canyon. Su Xing didn't buy items immediately but typed a series of strange numbers in the chat box.

"0430, 0525, 0701, 0816, 1011, 1536, 1644, 1920, 2300, 2508"

"Huh? What is this?"

Uzi was slightly stunned. What kind of operation was this? "Nothing, I'm testing the keyboard."

Su Xing smiled slightly and didn't explain too much.
