Chapter 119: Making waves hei. (1/2)

This chapter is brought to you by Ilse and another anon! Thank you for the Ko-Fis!

Piaoluo froze because it was impossible to construct a response to that line of conversation. He stopped his expression from cracking and he did not utter a single word as the screen was flooded with a barrage of comments in an instant.

【What do you mean by ‘your wife is going to bring you to kill’??? Are you really intending to throw away the little face you have as an anchor pfft hahahaha!!!】

【Ao ao ao ao, I didn’t want to say this but, KK, you really need to pull yourself together and break out of the matriarchy. (Gazing at a Coward)】

【Can you stop being so sweet!! As an anchor, please purify this game called King’s Glory!!】

【Not only is he not purifying, he is even using his stinky and shameless personality to permeate a sour stench in the entirety of King’s Canyon.】

【Honestly, I’ve never heard people bad mouth the way KK does before……】

There were Piaoluo fans in the comments as well and they were displeased.

【Bullying Piaoluo just because he has a good temper, does this person have no limits, his rampant attitude knows no bounds!】

【So annoying, end this as soon as possible please.】

【Previously, I didn’t feel much for KK, but now that I’ve seen his broadcast, I’ve turned black. How does Piaoluo even tolerate you, so hateful.】

【Hehehe, sitting and waiting for KK’s withdrawal from the competition.】

The comments accompanying the broadcast became increasingly divided and the gifts given to both sides continued to rise. However, as the quantity grew, the developments evidently favoured Kang Shengzhe as his lead became clearer. Ten minutes into the broadcast, the fans in KK’s live broadcasting room had gone from having equal shares to occupying the main stage.

Since Kang Shengzhe made the proclamation, he and You Liangxing set off for the bottom lane as a pair. The game had entered the middle stages and the difference in kill scores was negligible. Right now, apart from Howling Wolf who had been suppressed until he was in the bottom rungs of the game, everyone had a sense of existence and the economic situation of the fans were about the same.

Before his hero arrived, Kang Shengzhe made a joke first. “Piaoluo, are you nervous right now?”

Soon after, Piaoluo replied and his voice had a tinge of laughter as he said: “Now that you’re asking, I certainly feel a smidgen.”

In accordance to normal circumstances, Kang Shengzhe had always preferred to adopt a playstyle where he took people by a storm, and when he was playing King Lanling, he had a particular fondness for relying on his skill to attach himself to his victims and kill them. And now that he had a decently skilled healer by side, Piaoluo assumed that he would choose to resist the tower and show off his skills.

Sure enough, he hadn’t been in the bottom lane for long when Cai Wenji’s coordinates appeared on the mini map. While Kang Shengzhe’s King Lanling did not appear, he was definitely nearby.

Throughout the entire game, Kang Shengzhe had always stuck close to his personal auxiliary healer, and it was easy to guess that he was going to open with his ultimate to conceal his whereabouts and wait for his minions to enter Piaoluo’s tower range.

One second, two seconds, the two opposing minion waves met. Cai Wenji casted her healing aperture and entered the tower range. Piaoluo did not hesitate to turn around, lift his gun and shoot him. As he was pulling the distance away from Cai Wenji to remove himself from her attacking range, he threw a bomb in the position next to Cai Wenji.

While he tried to land a comprehensive hit on King Lanling, reality proved that there was no one there. Piaoluo tumbled away from the first tower, and just as he walked closer to the bushes between the first and second tower, King Lanling abruptly casted a dark mark on him before connecting it with a full suit of his skills, attack akin to a torrential rain of pear blossom needles, all of which landed on him.

The two fighters were distinguished into two roles; the healer would be the bait before they launched an attack from the front and rear simultaneously.

Piaoluo’s complexion stiffened and he rushed back to his first tower hastily. But King Lanling treated the tower like air, chasing after Sun Shangxiang with every intention to rob her of her life. Cai Wenji’s green and glowing area-of-effect enshrouded King Lanling’s person, carrying the responsibility of taking shots from the tower while insistently healing.

Despite seeing Piaoluo at the last shred of his health and incredibly close to death, a girly voice rang out: “Back away from the tower.”

His voice had just landed when red health signifying the enemy heroes appeared from the bushes that were behind Piaoluo and close to the wall. Piaoluo’s teammates had come to come to support him, and it was not only one but four!

No wonder why Piaoluo took the bait so easily, it turns out he had been waiting for this.

Kang Shengzhe showed no panic as he chuckled out loud, “Grouping so early?”

Piaoluo replied, “I have no choice, with KK making a proclamation, I can only call for backup.”

How was this just for self-preservation— it was evidently a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind because he wanted to take advantage of his opponents’ reckless moves to break and annihilate King Lanling and Cai Wenji in one fell swoop.

Although they could chat freely, their hands were occupied. The five enemies had grouped together, and Kang Shengzhe and You Liangxing could only beat a retreat. Although Piaoluo’s health made him look enticing, his micromechanics were battle-tested and they were cuttingly nimble as a result, fully capable of keeping the appropriate distance. Hence, Kang Shengzhe could only give up on the kill and fall back rapidly under You Liangxing’s infusion of health and timely dizzy spells.

However, it was a five against two; retreat was impossible.

Prompt decisions had to be made at every given second and Kang Shengzhe did not hesitate in the slightest as he turned around to jump back into the pile of players as Cai Wenji continued to run forward.

In an instant, the prompt about Kang Shengzhe being slain rang out in the game. Concurrently, Howling Wolf’s death notification rang out in succession.

A life for a life; dragging down someone before he died, it was very much in line with KK’s character.

Howling Wolf’s seventh death in the entire game was once again taken by Kang Shengzhe which enraged him, causing him to slam his phone down right then and there.

Since Piaoluo had turned off his listening function, he did not know about the brief incident, nor did he care about Howling Wolf’s reaction. After offing Kang Shengzhe, he could conceal not his smiling expression as he said: “Suddenly, I don’t feel nervous anymore.”

He might have laid down a proclamation that he wanted to murder but in at the turn of the head, he had been slaughtered and taunted by Piaoluo. But Kang Shengzhe did not blush, in fact, he was not even worried about the possibility of having to withdraw from the match just because he had fallen in this wave.

His attitude – steady like an old dog – had Piaoluo’s hackles rising.

Thought in mind, Piaoluo glanced at the mini map. The three fans on Kang Shengzhe’s side were already drawing close, attempting a response to the previous attack with Cai Wenji.

Speaking of which, why did Kang Shengzhe decide to cover a retreat instead of letting Cai Wenji do it? To leave healer with no output alive— wasn’t that putting the cart before the horse?

Rather than thinking too much, he might as well act, thus Piaoluo converged with his four teammates. Cai Wenji might be able to cause deacceleration effects apart from healing but in the face of his teammates’ assault, her health was still drained and she fell to the ground, dead.

Piaoluo finally put his heart down.

And when he turned his eyes to the remaining three fans, it was like he was looking at a breath of fresh air. If he could push them down in this wave, he would win.

The live broadcasting room was rapid in their commenting, KK’s side was filled of shock:

【Yi yi yi yi!!!! They got double killed…】

【Shit!!!】

【Everyone don’t panic!! Look at KK’s dog attitude, it’s okay, it’s alright!!】

【Yeah, but KK, how can you be so calm as you watch your wife being murdered!! Say something!!】

Meanwhile, Piaoluo’s fans were over the moon:

【Hehe, I love to see and hear this.】

【We’ve won~ A rampant new anchor just had their face slapped.】

【It’s fine even if they don’t manage to win from this wave, playing slow and steady is pretty good too, to save KK from constantly bragging bull.】

At that moment, there were three people fighting four when the falling Cai Wenji was accompanied by the sound effect for a resurrection. And because the low-health Piaoluo was too close, he was taken by surprise, and he was killed off with a single note from Cai Wenji because he did not have the chance to dodge.
