"Let's start, let's start, I can't wait anymore!" Lin Xu from Class 3 said.
Lin Xu seemed to have some status in this internet cafe. He had reserved a table with ten computers, five on each side, all displaying the League of Legends interface with its ancient and metallic deep blue hues.
Usually, everyone was facing dull textbooks, but at the sight of this interface, their eyes would light up!
"Yu Luosheng, sit next to Zhong Xiaoyun." Wang Qin pointed to the empty seat next to Zhong Xiaoyun.
Wang Qin sat in the middle, indicating he would play the mid-lane mage position.
On Wang Qin's right were Cao Sheng and Zhao Kesong, while Yu Luosheng and Zhong Xiaoyun sat on his left. They two would definitely take the bottom lane.
Behind the five of them were several classmates from Class 8 who often hung out in the internet cafe. They were there to cheer and support, and there were about seven or eight of them, including one girl.
"Crush them!" the vice-class leader of Class 8, Huang Yu, said.
"Right, we lost to them in basketball, we can't lose in this LOL, or we won't be able to hold our heads up in front of Class 3." The basketball team captain said.
"If you win, I'll give each of you a kiss!" Xiao Mei said with a smile.
"Hey, Yu Luosheng, move aside, let me play."
"Get lost, you haven't even reached level 10, what are you doing here?"
Wang Qin took off his headphones and turned to the cheerleaders, "Don't worry, we won't lose."
With that, everyone logged into their accounts and entered the Steel Sun server.
Lin Xu from Class 3 created a custom game.
Custom games are different from ranked matches. Custom games are often used for internal battles, where you play against your own team, while ranked matches randomly match you with opponents from the internet.
Wang Qin's ID was indeed: Beast
Zhong Xiaoyun's ID was: Cloud
Zhao Kesong's ID was: I'm So Cool
Cao Sheng's ID was: I'm the Boss
Yu Luosheng's ID was: Qiong Sou Ma Die
This ID was randomly inputted by him, and it was quite a mouthful, so he used it.
Yu Luosheng's main account, which had 2000 points in ranked matches, was in the Fereldan server. Steel Sun was a secondary account he used to play with an old friend, and it wasn't at a high level.
"Are you serious? You're only level 13, and my partner, Sun Yang, is level 24. It looks like we're going to collapse in the bottom lane again." Zhong Xiaoyun glanced at Yu Luosheng's account and felt a chill.
The last time they faced Class 3, Zhong Xiaoyun and Sun Yang were beaten so badly they couldn't stand up. Now, he was paired with a level 13 player in the bottom lane. Was there any hope?
"Yu Luosheng is only 3 levels higher than me. Should I play instead?" Wang Tao, eager to show off, said.
Wang Qin glanced at Yu Luosheng, "Bro, can you handle it?"
"Don't worry." Yu Luosheng smiled arrogantly.
In this era, when you should act cocky, you must do it to the fullest!
If you have the skills, why not show off? Why hold back?
Soon, invitations were sent over. Lin Xu from Class 3 added Yu Luosheng as a friend and pulled him into the custom game interface.
Once in the custom game interface, Yu Luosheng saw a row of IDs on the opposite side, all starting with "Mad."
Yu Luosheng didn't think they were that crazy; they were just too common.
A quick glance showed that all of them were level 25 or above, with "Mad for Life" at level 29, almost reaching the cap of level 30.
Looking at their side, except for Wang Qin at level 26, the others were at levels 21 and 22, and there was Yu Luosheng's glaring level 13!!
"They must have run out of people, so they found a level 13 noob to fill in. We're in for a treat in the bottom lane." Feng Xiaoqing from Class 8 laughed.
"They'll probably be killed so easily."
At this moment, Lin Xu spoke, "No problem, we can split the money based on kills. If you can kill them twenty times, the thousand bucks will be mostly yours."
"That's motivating. I thought they were too weak, so I'd use any hero to deal with them. But for the kills, I'll use my best hero!" Ma Xiaoying, with a hoarse voice, said excitedly.
Hearing the taunts from the other side and the stark fact of the level 13 account, everyone's faces turned sour. Finally, Wang Qin shouted, "Stop yapping, let's start, and we'll make you crawl!"
Lin Xu clicked to start, and the five computers immediately entered the hero selection interface.
"Who are they best at? Let's ban them first, so we have an advantage." Yu Luosheng suggested.
"What ban?" Zhong Xiaoyun asked, puzzled.
Yu Luosheng had casually mentioned it but found everyone looking at him strangely.
He glanced at the hero selection interface and felt a chill...
It was a custom "All Pick" mode, where you choose your own hero and can't see the other team's lineup, and there's no ban process.
Alright, I overestimated you guys, Yu Luosheng consoled himself. All Pick mode, so be it.
"What hero are you playing?" Wang Qin turned to ask.
"Robot. I only bought this hero on this account." Yu Luosheng said.
"Good, the robot has a strong presence." Wang Qin nodded.
Zhong Xiaoyun, however, looked worried and said, "Last time, Sun Yang played the robot, and we were crushed in the bottom lane..."
Yu Luosheng ignored Zhong Xiaoyun's complaints and glanced at their lineup.
Wang Qin chose "Annie, the Dark Child."
Despite her pink, sexy appearance, Annie is a very sharp hero, known as the "One-Shot Queen" and is one of the most explosive mages.
Indeed, Wang Qin, the tough guy, turned out to be a lolicon.
Zhong Xiaoyun chose "Miss Fortune, the Bounty Hunter," commonly known as "Lucky Lady" or "Miss Fortune."
She is a seductive and mature woman, always teasing with her sultry voice, "Can you get me, Summoner?"
Miss Fortune is a ranged physical damage hero, and among all such heroes, her damage output is one of the highest. Her level 6 ultimate, "Bullet Time," often marks the beginning of the enemy's doom, perfectly illustrating the phrase "scattering like rats."
Zhao Kesong chose "Garen, the Might of Demacia."
Garen is a symbol in League of Legends. Although he doesn't appear much in high-level matches, he is a god-like hero in low-level matches.
Everyone knows his abilities, so there's no need to elaborate.
Cao Sheng chose "Master Yi, the Wuju Swordmaster," commonly known as "Master Yi" or "Swordmaster."
The Wuju Swordmaster is positioned between a mage and a physical damage hero, with two common playstyles.
The mage build is more challenging, while the physical build is often seen in low-level matches. He is known as the "Noob King" and is almost always present in matches below level 10.
From a professional perspective, Yu Luosheng thought this lineup was terrible, but he guessed they weren't good at other heroes.
"Are you playing the jungle with Master Yi? Why not take Smite?" Yu Luosheng reminded Cao Sheng.
"Jungle? What jungle?" Cao Sheng asked, puzzled.
"Right, the jungle is responsible for clearing the jungle monsters. But don't jungle, I have to face two people in the top lane, I can't handle it." Zhao Kesong quickly said.
It turned out to be a low-level 2-1-2 lineup, and Yu Luosheng started rolling his eyes.
Alright, this is a low-level match. But Yu Luosheng couldn't understand why Wang Qin mentioned the concept of "top lane" in the class discussion, given it was a 2-1-2 lineup.
This is a common occurrence in low-level matches— "You two play the top lane?"
