19 An Odd Solo Top Hero (1/2)

Xiao Luo's Tryndamere could go against five. There was no suspense to the outcome of this match. Xiao Luo's team got the highest score, and he was naturally the MVP.

Are you a challenger?

In the public chat room, Chu Yue's ID ”Ziyue” posed a serious question.

Xiao Luo replied with one word: No.

If your performance in the next game is as good as this one, I'll let you join my team, Chu Yue typed.

Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai looked at Xiao Luo enviously.

”Brother Luo, Campus Queen Chu said she'd let you join her team,” said Zhu Xiaofei.

Xiao Luo asked, ”Is that something to be happy about?”

”Of course, it is. If you join the campus queen's team, you'll get a lot of chances to hang with her, and you'll qualify for the national competition, Battle of Glory. If you take first place, there's five-million-dollar prize money. After divvying it up, everyone can get a million,” said Zhu Xiaofei enviously.

Ding Kai nodded and echoed, ”Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a nice chunk of change, Brother Luo.”

Hmm, this is starting to sound good. Joining Chu Yue's team will give me lots of opportunities to hang with her, making my job easier. Becoming eligible to participate in the Battle of Glory is an added plus. I'm no saint. If I can make a million dollars by gaming, why the hell not? I'm in!

Whether it was for Chu Yunxiong's commission or the one-million-dollar cash prize, Xiao Luo made up his mind to try to join Chu Yue's team. He was psyched!

Two minutes later, the second qualifying match began.

”Brother Luo, your Tryndamere is picked,” Zhu Xiaofei reminded.

Xiao Luo gave him a little smile. ”It's fine. I know a bit about other heroes.”

Whoa. Look at all those system prompts! Because of that one game just now, he gained 4,999 points. Yess! He suddenly felt filthy rich.

Of course, he was well aware that this was due to Chu Yue's live broadcast.

”I never expected the opponent to pick all ADs. Guys, pull out all stops in this game. Even if we screw up, as long as we drag it to late game and stack up against our armor, they won't stand a chance against us.” Ding Kai's voice pulled Xiao Luo back from his thoughts into the moment.

After Xiao Luo took a look, it was indeed their opponent who had a solo top Tryndamere, a solo mid-Yasuo, a jungling Master Yi, and a Miss Fortune AD. Their only AP was the support Lulu. Hence, their opponent had a pure AD lineup.

”Brother Luo, you'll be better off soloing top. I trust you, bro, heheh…” Ding Kai said with a cheeky smile. His gaunt face looked just like a monkey.

Xiao Luo nodded and instantly picked the Armordillo.

When the hero icon of a hedgehog-looking turtle was locked in, Chu Yue sent him a row of question marks.

Ding Kai similarly frowned of out puzzlement, ”Brother Luo, you…”

”The Armordillo counters ADs. He's the safest pick for this match!” explained Xiao Luo.

After hearing that, Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai could neither cry nor laugh. How would they not know that the Armordillo counter ADs? They had never seen people use it as a solo top. The Armordillo was usually used as junglers. The hero farms in the jungle during the early game, and with a Powerball combined with a Frenzying Taunt, it could easily take down an enemy with the help of a teammate on the lane.

The chat room in Chu Yue's live broadcast once again heated up…

The hell? An Armordillo solo top? Is he nuts?

Even if this Armordillo gets fat, it'll be nothing more than a meat shield. Could they be hoping that it would save the world for them?”

I highly suspect the pro misclicked over there.

For a while, voices of doubt came from all directions.

Chu Yue pursed her lips and said indignantly, ”Just how confident is he to pick the Armordillo?”

Bai Ling recovered from her consternation and chuckled with squinted eyes, ”Young Mistress Chu, let's not rush to a conclusion. Perhaps Xiao Luo would pull off a great performance.”

”The hell he'll perform well this game!”
