Chapter 97

As expected, Li Weiye was right. After the game started, he found that the mid-lane opponent was a rookie. He quickly got the first blood from him, and the other two lanes were basically evenly matched, which meant that the enemy jungler was likely a veteran with similar skill to Li Weiye.

Sure enough, Wang Bo's Garen was still carefully leveling up in the jungle, while the enemy jungler, a Blind Monk, had already started targeting the top lane to gain an advantage. The game's rhythm was then led by the Blind Monk, who moved unpredictably, had excellent awareness, and appeared and disappeared like a ghost.

In contrast, Wang Bo seemed non-existent, always focusing on developing in the jungle. Li Liang and Qian Ning were double-killed again, which made them furious. They cursed Wang Bo for turning Garen into a "pighead" and threatened to AFK if he kept this up. Wang Bo apologized and asked them to bear with it, saying that persistence was the key to victory.

Li Weiye was patient, knowing that Garen was weak in the early game but strong in the mid-game. He encouraged everyone to hold on. So, everyone continued to struggle, and the enemy, with most of the kills on the Blind Monk, had only him developing well, while the others did not have a significant economic advantage.

Because Wang Bo never appeared, even the enemy's physical damage dealer, a player named "Gentle Kitten" who played Ashe, asked, "Is the enemy Garen AFK? Just surrender!"

At this point, Wang Bo's team had lost all their first towers, and the minion waves were pushed deep into their territory. Wang Bo finally reached level 11 and informed Li Liang and the others in the bottom lane. He then moved through the jungle to the enemy's back, activated Q, and hit "Gentle Kitten" with a club, reducing her health by almost a third.

She immediately used Flash to escape, but Wang Bo slowed her down and reduced her armor, then calmly chased her and hit her twice, sending her back to base. At the same time, the enemy support was killed by Li Liang and Qian Ning, resulting in a double kill.

Wang Bo immediately returned to the jungle. The enemy mid-lane, fearing an ambush, hid in the brush to recall, but Li Weiye discovered his plan, rushed over, and used a combo to reduce him to a sliver of health. Wang Bo, who happened to be passing by, finished him off with a single hit.

At this moment, the enemy Blind Monk rushed to the mid-lane to support, encountering Wang Bo and Li Weiye. Relying on his equipment advantage, he fearlessly engaged them.

Wang Bo decisively used his ultimate, slowed the Blind Monk, and reduced his armor, then teamed up with Li Weiye to send him back to base. Taking advantage of this, Wang Bo destroyed the enemy mid-tower and pushed the minion wave to their second tower. Instead of supporting the top lane, he moved to the bottom lane, as "Gentle Kitten" had respawned and was fighting Li Liang and the support again. Wang Bo flanked from behind, rushed to "Gentle Kitten" and hit her with a club, then slowed her. She panicked and ran towards the enemy tower, but Li Liang secured the kill.

"Garen, you're a eunuch!" "Gentle Kitten" was repeatedly ambushed and saw the tide turning, so she started to curse. However, due to her hurried typing, she mistyped "eunuch" as "eunuch."

Qian Ning, known for his sharp tongue, retorted, "You know if he's a eunuch, did you touch him?"

"Gentle Kitten" was enraged and stood in the base, continuously cursing "cheap dog" and "cheap machine," especially since Qian Ning played a robot. She even threatened to find their addresses and chase them down for ten blocks.

The team in the group chat teased her, calling her brain-dead. Qian Ning said that she was so emotional and easily provoked that she was probably a girl, and he encouraged Wang Bo to share his address to see if she would really come after them. They didn't respond to her insults, enjoying the 5v4 advantage and winning easily.

After the game, Wang Bo received a message: "Gentle Kitten has requested to add you as a friend. Do you agree?" He thought, "Still not done cursing? It's just a game, is it that serious?" He had been focused on the game and didn't have time to argue. Now that he had time, he decided to argue back, so as not to seem afraid.

However, after accepting the friend request, the first message from "Gentle Kitten" was: "Want to group?" Wang Bo was surprised, thinking, "She wants to group with me? Didn't she see we were a five-man team?"

Actually, others couldn't tell, as Wang Bo was too detached from the team. "Gentle Kitten" was a solo player who, despite being bullied by Wang Bo's Garen, recognized his skill and wanted to group with him. As for their team's Blind Monk, although he played well, he had stolen two of her kills, which she hated.

Wang Bo replied, "Already in a group."

"Oh, then add me when you have time." "Gentle Kitten" sent another message with a matter-of-fact tone. Wang Bo thought, "You cursed me so much, and now you want to group? What a thick nerve. Is she really that emotional?"

He didn't reply because Li Weiye started a second game. After half an hour, they won again, and everyone was in high spirits. Qian Ning said, "I've been crying every day, but tonight I can finally sleep well." He then said to the team, "My dear ministers, it's late. I'm going to meet some beauties. See you tomorrow."

After Qian Ning logged off, Li Weiye asked what he was up to. Li Liang, laughing so hard he almost choked, said he wasn't "flying a plane" but "playing a plane."

With one less person in the team, "Gentle Kitten" messaged Wang Bo: "Are you free now?"

Wang Bo thought, "She must have been waiting for me to finish the game. How eager to group!" He told the team about it. Li Weiye, a simple gamer, said, "Then bring her along. Is she 'Gentle Kitten'? I'll add her." As long as they could find someone to play with, he didn't care who it was. Four-person matches always took longer, so adding one more was ideal.

Wang Bo messaged "Gentle Kitten": "Our captain will add you. Join us."

"Is the robot still there?" "Gentle Kitten" asked immediately, clearly still having a bad impression of Qian Ning.

Wang Bo replied, "No, he's offline."

"Gentle Kitten" then joined the team and, seeing it was a five-man team, asked in the team chat, "No voice chat?"

Wang Bo and the others were chatting on QQ. Everyone paused at her question. Li Liang hesitated, "Is she planning to curse us in the middle of the game?" Lu Guanghe laughed, "Four of us can't handle one?" "Let's use voice chat," Li Weiye decided. Wang Bo had no objections.

They closed the group chat and joined the in-game voice chat. After testing the audio, they found that "Gentle Kitten" was connected but silent.

Wang Bo asked, "Kitten? Can you hear us?" "Yes..." a soft voice replied, seemingly a girl, and somewhat timid. It was unexpected that she, who had been so aggressive in the game, was now so quiet.

"Okay, as long as you can hear us," Wang Bo said. They then discussed their roles. Li Weiye and Lu Guanghe remained unchanged, with a support leaving and a physical damage dealer joining. Wang Bo asked Li Liang if he could play support, and he replied, "I can't play support, but I can jungle."

Wang Bo then asked, "Kitten? Can you play support?" "No..." her voice was still soft, still nervous about grouping with a team of boys.

"Okay," Wang Bo said, "Li Liang, you go jungle, and I'll support. Just so you know, I'm not very good at support."

"Ha, sure, you can play any role, you just don't play well," Li Liang mocked, then said, "Alright, I'll jungle. You guys play steady in the bottom lane, and I'll try to help you when I can."

They then queued up, selected their heroes, and started the game. "Gentle Kitten" chose Miss Fortune, and Wang Bo chose Sona to support her.

The enemy wasn't very strong, and although Wang Bo's team wasn't very powerful, they had the advantage of being a five-man team, so they won with a clear advantage. Miss Fortune ended with ten kills, and Wang Bo's Sona had over twenty assists. Even Li Liang praised Wang Bo for having a natural talent for support.

By the time the game ended, it was almost 10 PM. Lu Guanghe said goodbye and logged off, followed by Li Liang. Li Weiye went to play solo queue, and the team disbanded.
