Chapter 5: My Liang Liang is the best. (1/2)

Liao Su almost jumped out of his chair in fright. He turned his head sharply and You Liangxing’s expression, whose reaction was best summarised in one word: Goddamn.

Liang Chuhan was also clutching onto her phone rigidly. She did not expect the dramatic comeback.

You Liangxing’s Zhuang Zhou only had a shred of health left. Due to the poison that was inflicted by the enemy Bian Que, his hero collapsed to the ground after taking two steps in his retreat back to base. If only to pardon him from such an ending, earning three kills in exchange for his life truly made him worthy of his (in-game) name. Instantaneously, his other two teammates issued a signal:

— Well Done!

Sincerely, Liang Chuhan said: “You-xuezhang is really skilled.”

Liao Su: “Ah… Yeah… Haha.”

With the three kills made by You Liangxing near the highland tower, it coincidentally aced the entire opposing team. Not having any opponents on the field had a huge effect; with their respawn timers having upwards of ten or more seconds, Liao Su made good use of the time and quickly led the troops to breech the opposing team’s higher ground, unimpeded.

At the last juncture, the last two enemies finally revived, but they were not Liao Su’s opponents. After harvesting two kills, Liao Su blasted the enemy’s crystal nexus and won the game.

Liang Chuhan laughed: “We won.”

A win was indeed a win, but Liao Su couldn’t help but feel perplexed in his heart. Although he was the one who exploded the enemy’s nexus, but without You Liangxing, they could not have won. With a complicated expression, Liao Su turned his head to look at You Liangxing. Coincidentally, You Liangxing had also turned, and the two looked at each other. You Liangxing paused and raised his hand with impatience displayed on his face, giving Liao Su a difficult and stiff thumbs up.

Liao Su: “…”

Your mother, I don’t need your praise!

The games had to continue. Liao Su could only comfort himself that the play he made just now was by chance. Although You Liangxing had always been all-rounded in talent, there was no principle that stated that he would be naturally gifted in games as well. Of course, Liao Su would never doubt the fact that You Liangxing had never came in contact with such games because he had a good grasp on You Liangxing’s personality. This person was already outstanding; there was no need for him to pour dirty water over something as trivial as games.

However, a winner in life was truly a winner in life, and upsetting displays of ability could not be hidden.

In the second game, You Liangxing still chose the hero Zhuang Zhou, while Liang Chuhan switched her pick to another marksman called Luban VII, and Liao Su went with the mage Zhen Ji. The opposing side’s skill level was uneven as only two people could play while the other three were novice rookies.

The game proceeded extremely smoothly. Liao Su attained a quadra kill, and Liang Chuhan had attained a score of eight kills and zero deaths. However, just as You Liangxing was stealing the opponent’s blue, his position was exposed and the four opponents who were close by gave chase.

In this match, You Liangxing did not have a single kill and his economy had been pressed down. Even if a godly player took his place, they would not be able to put up a fight either. To put it bluntly, the enemies didn’t even have to use their skills, they could just auto attack him to death.

Liao Su originally wanted to save him, but after judging the distance, he realised that You Liangxing would be completely dead by the time he ran over, so it was better to do nothing at all. However, after five or six seconds, there was still no announcement that You Liangxing had died and Liao Su glanced at the mini map before stilling in shock.

Although the four enemies had been chasing You Liangxing from their jungle, they had yet to catch him!

No longer hesitating, Liao Su rushed over to answer, and it was at that instant when the enemy Kai appeared from the side after having made a detour, evidently trying to execute a pincher attack on You Liangxing, with every intention to beat You Liangxing to death.

With tigers at the back and a hungry wolf coming from the side, in desperate moment where every second had to be seized, You Liangxing’s hand suddenly stopped moving and his hero Zhuang Zhou lurched to a standstill. The enemy Kai coming from the side used his ability to throw out his knife and it landed in front of Zhuang Zhou…

But it did not hit him!!

Not only the enemy Kai was dumbfounded; Liao Su, who had been spectating was also surprised. Kai had indeed predicted You Liangxing’s pathing, but You Liangxing had expected his actions and countered his predictions!

It was like meeting a ghost.

After the pause, Zhuang Zhou started running again. From four, the enemies chasing him increased to five. Riding his big fish of a mount, he leisurely ran into tower range and retreated back to base, leaving the entire team of enemies a mess in front of the tower.

…

This! Mother! Trucker! Did! Not! Die!

Liao Su almost knelt in front of You Liangxing.

The enemies were falling apart as they typed, [Enemy Hou Yi]: — Zhuang Zhou, you good.

[Enemy Arthur]: — Truly ruthless.

[Enemy Angela]: — …

[Enemy Dian Wei]: I can’t even beat bronze players; I’m kneeling before this father. I’m going back to my diamond account to find some comfort.

[Enemy Kai]: Zhuang Zhou, let’s team up next game.

Liang Chuhan continued sighing, voice filled with sincere praise. “You-xuezhang is truly skilled, too strong.”

Liao Su who had a quadra kill: “…..”

Liao Su’s smile slowly disappeared, and he was about to cry and shout like a pig right there and then. His eyes were full of resentment when he looked at You Liangxing. “Brother Liang, stop playing Zhuang Zhou.”

While it was easy for You Liangxing to grasp the mechanics despite only coming in contact with the game today, it did not mean that he would be skilled at every hero. Liao Su suggested: “Why don’t you give Angela a try? I heard that most Angela players are big- I mean, dashing young men.”

You Liangxing was expressionless, but he still picked Angela at the start of the third match.

Liang Chuhan said: “I’ll change it up too, I’ll choose Mi Yue, top lane.”

Liao Su wanted to lane together with Liang Chuhan, but his dreams of carrying a girl were coming up empty and he could only pout grievously as he picked the marksman Hou Yi.

“Right, Brother Liang, remember to be a little more cautious, don’t play too aggressively.” While he had the purpose of not wanting You Liangxing to show off too much, he was also a little worried that You Liangxing only knew how to play the hero Zhuang Zhou. And when he even had to open up the interface to read up on Angela’s skills before the start of the match, Liao Su could not help but feel somewhat apologetic.
