Chapter 48 (2/2)

Once again, it was like in Li Bai’s poem, ‘Killing amidst red dust, the white blade escapes from the body. One kill every ten paces, a thousand miles pass by.’

After finishing the system’s training, Chen Mu did not go straight to bed for once. Instead, he created a lobby, wanting to experience the Deceiver’s power.

Within the first three minutes of the game, he killed the enemy mid laner. With only a Meijai’s Soulstealer, the enemy team’s five champions were forced to face a nightmare.

The Ezreal at bot lane was farming. He had just sent out his Q, and it had not yet reached the targeted minion when his screen turned greyscale.

‘??? Who killed me, and how did I die?’ Ezreal spammed the question mark ping. His teammates had not seen how he died either. They only knew that it was the Deceiver who had killed him.

Their jungler, Widow, passed by the brush, her mouse cursor aimed at the F4. All of a sudden, her screen turned back and white as well.

Widow: [There can only be one possibility. The Deceiver did this!]

Only Chen Mu’s teammates could see what was going on-all his skills seemed to come out at the same time. There may have been an order to it, but they could not see it clearly.

Wherever the Deceiver went, she killed. By the 20 minutes mark, Chen Mu had 18 kills, and the enemy team surrendered immediately.

Chen Mu’s four teammates who had not bought the Deceiver immediately went to the store after the game. Those who had the enough IP bought her immediately while those who did not immediately topped up Q coins to buy them. Chen Mu’s shocking oneshots had filled them with adrenaline.

They could not add Chen Mu as friends, so they could only buy LeBlanc for the night.

Chen Mu felt good. It was just that his opponents were too weak, and they surrendered too soon.

If the enemy was aware of Chen Mu’s thoughts, they would immediately report him. Among the five of them, the one with the lowest win rate had played over 200 games and won 65% of them. Even so, they were insulted as being impotent. One of them, the mid laner, Fire Man[1] had over 1900 ELO points. He was wildly flamed by his teammates as being boosted and that he only dared to play in premade teams because when he met someone who actually knew how to play the game, his true colors showed.

Apart from feeling depressed, what else could he do? He had been accused of being boosted. His opponent was the true booster, a monster who was trying to inflate his win rate.

Chen Mu felt that the Deceiver was really fun. It was a shame that he was going to switch champions in the following day’s training. In future games, Chen Mu was definitely going to choose this champion.

Chen Mu had decided to play as the team’s mid laner in the tournament that upcoming weekend. That was because mid lane was the most crucial position. As long as one’s awareness and mechanical skills were good enough, they could create countless possibilities. Meanwhile top and bot lane were faced with limitations and that was being tower dived.

If top was tower dived, they could only run backward as upwards would lead to the edge of the map. It was the same for bot lane, they would meet a dead end.

Only mid lane had the option of moving up, down, left and right. If one was caught dead, they did not have any excuse. They just weren’t strong enough. Based on his own understanding of his previous teammates, only mid lane was completely self-reliant. All other lanes greatly relied on cooperation from their teammates. If he did not have very hardworking teammates, Chen Mu just had to pick mid lane first!
