Chapter 118: Stealing blues. (1/2)
Thank you to an Anon and Ilse for your Ko-Fis! I greatly appreciate it :))
Since such words have been spoken, it naturally meant that there was no longer any room for retreat. Maintaining his usual temperament, Piaoluo said: “Alright then.”
Saying that, his expression faltered, putting on an appearance that showed he was not in full support of the additional condition. The fans connected in the shared live broadcasting room exchanged gazes, and the fans who did not understand the relationship between Piaoluo and Kang Shengzhe gave their own comments.
【……??? Are they really going to proceed like this…… withdrawing from the competition after losing?】
【I feel like what Piaoluo said makes sense, you don’t have to go so far for a game, right…….?】
【Feeling like they’ve started something huge. (Psyduck frowns, realising that the matter is not that simple)】
【So in this match, its either KK gets eliminated or Piaoluo and Howling Wolf are eliminated? Is this the fucking finals?】
【emmmmm… it’s hard to explain in a few words.】
No matter what the comments were saying, Kang Shengzhe did not care about them at all. The game had already began, and in the time where the audience were discussing, both sides have manipulated their heroes to run out of the fountain. With the addition of the condition, the three fans became a little nervous.
“KK, how should we play?”
Kang Shengzhe replied, “Play as you usually would; if you can win, kill, if you can’t fight against them, try your best to preserve your life. One last word, the mystical KK will carry you to victory.”
Piaoluo did not react when he heard those words but Howling Wolf’s sneer could be heard through his microphone.
With their participation in the competition at stake, a change in fan’s mentality occurred. They could no longer watch the match like it was an ordinary broadcast; the fans came from two different broadcasts to begin with and each and every one of them fell into line very quickly. Then, the first signs of wanting to tear KK down appeared in the dark.
【Don’t you think KK is becoming a little too rampant?】
【Speaking conceited nonsense.】
【All of a sudden, KK feels a little annoying…..】
【Previous commenter, are you sick? Who was the one who wanted to fight two against one, can you have some ac-points in your heart? We can put it aside if it was just a normal anchor, but on what grounds is Piaoluo allowed to do this?】
【What’s the matter with our God K? Anyone would be angered if they had to fight two versus one.】
【Thankfully, Sister Liang was here, or else wouldn’t KK have brought disaster to himself if he lost the two versus one?】
【So what if KK is rampant? I like KK being rampant.】
Very quickly, the notifications of gifts jumping all over the screen:
【WWCC】gifted Anchor【Victor KK】10 Cat Scratchers!
【WWCC】gifted Anchor【Victor KK】10 Cat Villas!
The people who were fans of Kang Shengzhe was not small in number and there was no lack of wealthy people around. In order to support their idol’s waist and back, spending this small amount of money was nothing to them. While the accumulated gifts Kang Shengzhe had experienced an abrupt surge, Piaoluo’s side was not weak either as they immediately followed by giving him gifts.
As the fans were gradually heating up, the game tentatively rushed towards the beginnings of the first team fight.
Kang Shengzhe’s King Lanling was very dependent on benefits that the blue brought as an ability reliant hero. He issued a ping to his teammates to watch over their jungle’s blue monster as he headed towards the enemies’ jungle.
Aside from players who were new to the game, everyone knew that stealing each other’s blue was a common occurrence, to say nothing of it when Diao Chen, the hero that Howling Wolf chose, had a huge mana consumption. Thus, both sides were met with an unavoidable confrontation in the vicinity of the blue monster.
Before they came into contact, Piaoluo reminded, “He went over.”
“I know,” said Howling Wolf.
While he was attacking the blue monster to half it’s heath, Howling Wolf constantly monitored his surroundings for movements Once he felt Kang Shengzhe coming close, his vigilance heightened right away and he dragged the blue monster into the bushes to escape Kang Shengzhe’s vision and safeguard the blue monster from being stolen at the last second.
However, Kang Shengzhe did not probe the bushes even for a second.
This person charged straight for Howling Wolf, taking no notice of the exceptionally tempting low-health blue monster, and directly went for Diao Chen.
Diao Chen’s attack range was further than King Lanling’s and Howling Wolf’s pathing was flexible as well. Even then, Howling Wolf’s health bar dropped a lot faster than Kang Shengzhe’s health when they started trading.
With one glance, it could be discerned that there was an obvious difference between their mechanics and experience.
Howling Wolf cursed internally and no longer fought, choosing to retreat. Nimble in technique, he managed to secure his own jungle’s blue buff to rise to level two in the chaos.
His blue was not stolen and the fact that he was left with half health was of no consequence. This exchange had hindered Kang Shengzhe’s camp clearing and levelling speed, which could be considered a good thing overall.
“Are you okay?”
Howling Wolf replied, “Yeah.”
Having responded to Piaoluo, Howling Wolf controlled his Diao Chen to retreat under the tower. But it was at that moment where a jade green loli in a stroller emerged from the bushes.
The positions of Kang Shengzhe and You Liangxing stated on the mini map could not be clearer; seeing that Kang Shengzhe and You Liangxing had appeared to start a two versus one, Piaoluo and his teammate from the middle lane immediately rushed to answer.
They were short of reaching when a game notification reverberated through King’s Canyon.
— First Blood!
… Diao Chen had been killed.
In a blink of an eye, first blood had appeared. Piaoluo stopped himself from frowning and asked: “Big Wolf, what are you doing?”
What answered him was Howling Wolf’s slightly frustrated voice. “I don’t know!”
Yes, he really did not know. That moment honestly happened too quickly!
Who would have thought that an auxiliary healer like Cai Wenji would choose not to accompany the jungler to steal the blue from the onset, or come running from the bottom lane to intercept, but choose to sit in the bushes to wait!
What kind of joke was this…. This was a healer!
