Later, He Became A Royal Healer

Chapter 65 - Live Broadcast. (Middle)

Chapter 65 - Live Broadcast. (Middle)

Thank you Cass for your Ko-Fi!

Not only did he arrive in a timely manner to suppress their opponents, he managed to use his ability to slow down their movement speed. Initially, Bai Yao had thought that her death was a foregone conclusion but she never expected that alongside Li Bai’s interception and containment of their enemies, Ming Shiyin would simultaneously heal her from the backlines at the critical juncture, allowing her to barely preserve her life.

“I’ll be going back first,” Bai Yao grinned, and the expression she made – bright-eyed and smiling – after escaping to live another day did not escape the live broadcasting room. As she recalled, she said: “KK, help me look after the middle lane.”

?How is my Yaoyao so cute??

?This Da Ji is really Bai Yao herself.?

?Hey hey hey, you should protect your middle lane on your own, hey.?

Even if she hadn’t said it, there was no possibility of retreat in the middle lane. After reducing the three enemies’ health to low levels, now was the opportune moment to reap the harvest; his sword shadows danced around on light feet, and clad in the ethereal ‘Phoenix seeking Phoenix’ skin for Li Bai, he lifted his sword to give chase, taking down the three players in a blink of an eye.

— An enemy has been slain!

— Double Kill!

— Triple Kill!

The merciless triple kill ushered in a round of applause.

?Yes, yes, this play was excellent.?

?Thanking the enemy heroes for contributing three kills.?

?A familiar recipe, a familiar taste, mm, it can’t be wrong, this is my KK.?

While Bai Yao recalled back to base, Piaoluo, whose hero Ming Shiyin still had a decent health capacity, stayed behind in the middle lane. On screen, only he and KK remained in the lane and even though he did not want to fight on, he still had to pretend. Piaoluo used his first ability to link up with KK and the two of them chased after the last two enemies in their opposition.

Two against two, Li Bai and Ming Shiyin were going against Zhuge Liang and Bai Qi, and the latter pair was full-blooded which made the former seem slightly deficient in comparison.

Without Bai Yao by their side, the two had a brief exchange.

Piaoluo said: “Are we fighting?”

Kang Shengzhe did not raise his eyes, and merely stared at his screen. “Fight.”

As they were talking, the on-screen Li Bai had already struck forward with his sword with Ming Shiyin sticking close behind him. The enemies, having witnessed Li Bai’s taking of a triple kill, started being concerned and decided to back away into the tower range. However, KK did not put the tower into his eyes; nimble in his pathing, he jumped into the range and pressed the attack. When the enemy Bai Qi and Zhuge Liang recovered their senses, they had already missed their window of opportunity to back away and they had to meet KK’s merciless display head on.

— Quadra Kill!

Although Bai Qi had a lot of health, he had been fending off the damage for Zhuge Liang from the start. In less than a few seconds, his health had bottomed out and resulted in his death. But with his protection, Zhuge Liang managed to retreat back whole and dodge out of Li Bai’s ultimate with some vestiges of his health.

Having only killed one, Kang Shengzhe was obviously not satisfied. But it was a fact that he had to take damage from the tower while he was attacking his enemies and his health was crumbling under the shots that the defensive tower fired. Hence, he reactivated his first ability and triggered its passive, displacing himself to his original position in an instant, successfully jumping out of tower range.

With his displacement, the person that the defensive tower targeted changed from Li Bai to Ming Shiyin. And the auxiliary Ming Shiyin, by virtue of his profession had a weaker constitution. After taking a tower hit, his health dropped low and he had move away in a panicked manner.

The live broadcasting room could not help but laugh.

&#k3010;We agreed to join hands together but you chose to sneak away.&#k3011;

&#k3010;Piaoluo: ??? Where did you go!&#k3011;

&#k3010;On the scene of the incident, we are witnessing a large-scale failure of a union.&#k3011;

&#k3010;It’s like watching a break up, KK is being an unfaithful man&#k2026;. But I like it.&#k3011;

Ming Shiyin escaped from the opponent tower’s onslaught with a shred of his health remaining, and it was a state where it would only require one hit to kill him which tempted the Zhuge Liang who was originally in retreat. Zhuge Liang immediately returned back to the scene, heading straight for Piaoluo.

However, in a moment’s work, Kang Shengzhe manipulated his Li Bai to go forth and open his sword battle array, and forced Zhuge Liang to back off again by casting his second ability, giving Ming Shiyin enough time to hide from view and go back to the tower where it was hard to reach.

Despite being in the safe zone, his fighting capabilities had already been exhausted. Piaoluo initiated his recall back to base and released his phone temporarily.

And as he was recalling back to base safely, KK was still wandering at the crossroads of the middle lane, mutually testing the opposing Zhuge Liang who was low in health.

Both of them had displacement abilities. Had the worrisome situation occurred under normal circumstances, perhaps a fight would only have broken out occasionally, but KK was extremely combative today. Once he lifted his sword, he would attack, even if it meant he had to exchange his life to take down all five kills.

The live broadcasting room was a flurry of 666.

?Today’s Li Bai is exceptionally deadly.?

?Liang Liang don’t go, Li Bai has something to say to you.?

Within a beat of a second, it had become a battle between life and death. Just as Li Bai made contact with Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang used his ultimate to lock down Li Bai’s position in a violent and abrupt gesture, preparing to burn both jade and stone together.

There was short delay before Zhuge Liang’s ultimate could be released because of the condensing process but even so, Zhuge Liang managed to fully cast it before he fell to the ground. Kang Shengzhe shifted his Li Bai back by a step but the skill shot was still tightly locked onto him.

This time, his death was certain!

Everyone in the live audience felt the same way, but upon further consideration, exchanging one death for five kills was still very profitable.

The energy bullet that Zhuge Liang released prior to his death approached and Kang Shengzhe’s Li Bai collapsed to the ground...

It was supposed to be such a scenario but reality proved to be different; in the second where most people would have failed to react, Kang Shengzhe wielded his second ability with great alacrity. Li Bai’s second ability which could negate damage activated and the energy bullet passed through Li Bai and....

Hit the low health Piaoluo who was in the process of recalling behind him.

A game prompt sounded through the game.

— An ally has been slain!

Like a leaf falling from a breeze, Piaoluo’s Ming Shiyin fell to the ground in a sorrowful and tragic manner, hidden from view... dead.

Simultaneously, the sound of Kang Shengzhe’s penta kill rang out triumphantly.

— Penta Kill!!

Five successful kills, and all of it belonged to Kang Shengzhe!

After a moment of stupefaction, comments that were like strong winds and heavy rain poured into the room.

???? WTF!?? He still has this kind of operation????

?Piaoluo: ????

?Mother—HAHAHHAHAAHAHA!!?

?KK: Did you see that, even my teammates aren’t spared in my madness.?

?KK how are you this great!! Are you trying to ascend to the heavens hahahaha!!?

?What wrongs did Piaoluo commit!! I feel so distressed but why do I still feel like laughing! Covers face.?

Let alone the audience, even the spectating Bai Yao was bending over laughing and as she raised her hand to thump on Kang Shengzhe’s arm, it revealed that her face was red from how much she was laughing. In an instant, everyone’s focus had gathered on KK’s person.

?I’m a fan of this anchor.?

?So OP to the point where I can’t believe it.?

Piaoluo, who had been dragged to deathly waters by someone else’s misfortune, stiffened, and despite opening his mouth, he did not utter a sound. Then, Kang Shengzhe turned towards him and smiled, saying, “Sorry, conditioned reflex.”

The corner of Piaoluo’s eye twitched but he kept the smile on his face and said: “It’s alright, I understand.”

On the surface, it seemed like a happy and harmonious situation but beneath the table, his hands had long clenched into fists and it took him a few seconds to relax them. Maintaining his composure, Piaoluo took a deep breath and glanced at his agent who was standing behind the camera. His agent looked anxious and shook his head in reply.

Even if they did not use words to communicate, his actions made it apparent that the situation within the live broadcasting room was not favourable.

Just as Piaoluo felt a sudden rush of anxiety that something bad was going to happen, KK’s penta kill and the last ‘accidental’ and terrific mechanics had attracted the gazes of the audience in the live broadcasting room.

Whether it was fans who had came for Bai Yao or for King’s Glory, their attention were more or less glued on Kang Shengzhe from the opening of the broadcast.

To begin with, Kang Shengzhe’s face value was already high and adding on his excellent gaming technique, the latter became a bonus to his general hardware. Hence, without conscious knowledge, the winds started blowing his way and everyone’s attention was placed on Bai Yao and Kang Shengzhe.

At the end of the first match, Kang Shengzhe attained a score of 18-1-5, and he had carried the entire team without a doubt.

Bai Yao laughed: “Ai, KK managed to save his own life. All the lines that I have prepared to use on the jungler are now rendered useless, what a pity.”

?Hahahahaha I was prepared too! It’s such a pity!?

?It’s okay, we can keep it first. If we were to lose in the next round, we can use it to scold KK together.?

?+1 +1! I have lines prepared as well! So what if you look beautiful! You look like a dog with how you play jungler!?

Kang Shengzhe let out a peal of abrupt laughter and his voice scarcely differed from how it usually was. For the fans who were frequent viewers of his live broadcast, it was a laughter that they were familiar with. Back then, they had all assumed that he was laughing, but now that it was paired with the revelation of his face, they realised that even though KK’s voice was tinged with laughter, none of those emotions could be found on his visage. Instead, there was only indolence present in his bearing.

?What the hell is he made of....?

?How do you manage to laugh without an expression!!?

?I’m suddenly finding this ‘very cute’, has my cute scale bent to this extent!?

?Previous commenter, it’s not bent, it’s because he’s too good-looking and there is no fault in your feelings, you have to believe yourself!!?

Apart from Bai Yao having her own traction, majority of the comments and jokes in the chat were still about Kang Shengzhe. When the game began again with a new match, the attention of the broadcast was still gathered on KK despite the fact that it was Piaoluo who accompanied Bai Yao. Not only that, with Kang Shengzhe’s hand speed going online, the results that he achieved after every match constantly refreshed.

In the second match, Kang Shengzhe went 15-2-7.

In the third match, Kang Shengzhe’s results were 18-2-1.

In the fourth match, Kang Shengzhe was 15-0-4.

On the other hand, because he had been playing support every round, Piaoluo’s results were not as outstanding, especially in the third round where he only managed to reap one kill. Hence, not only was he not given attention, his results were lacklustre. Although he might seem to be mild in temperament throughout, his hands had been trembling out of anger when he was drinking water in the middle of the broadcast.

The time quickly flew by and the heat in the live broadcasting room continued to climb. When they were reaching the last segment, Piaoluo suddenly said: “Since it’s the last round, do you want to change it up?”

During the live broadcast, Piaoluo was consistently without a sense of existence. Since he had suddenly taken the initiative to make a suggestion, Bai Yao gave him her consideration with a reply. “Sure, I don’t mind changing it up.”

Since they wanted to change it up to make waves, it was equivalent to playing whatever they wanted; if they wanted to play a certain hero, they could, and they did not need to worry about the line-up.

The two of them looked at Kang Shengzhe. Without a visible rhyme or reason that they could properly grasp, the corners of Kang Shengzhe’s mouth had curled when he replied: “I’m OK with it, I happen to want to make a wave too.”

The live broadcast room reacted quickly.

?Ah??? Didn’t you make enough waves just now????

?Wait a minute, does KK have a misunderstanding of what a ‘wave’ is??

It was apparent that Kang Shengzhe was expressing more excitement than he previously had. However, because he was more concerned about redeeming his results in the last match, Piaoluo did not pay much heed to the change. Hurriedly, he said, “I’ll play the monkey.”

The monkey, Sun Wukong, was a standard for the jungling position. In order to avoid the subpar results that he had since the start of the broadcast, he could not wait to borrow the last match to show off his skills.

Bai Yao considered her options for a moment, stating, “Then I’ll be the marksman, Di Renjie will do.”

Among the three, only Kang Shengzhe had yet to make his pick. When the two of them tossed him a glance, Kang Shengzhe uttered in a relaxed manner: “I’ll play Zhong Kui.”

When he made his choice, Bai Yao remained oblivious while Piaoluo’s act of stiffening was rather pronounced. Since they were both anchors, Piaoluo was very clear about Kang Shengzhe’s circumstances. Truth to be told, the foreknowledge was not limited to him; within the entire MengMao circle, Zhong Kui being KK’s blackhole was extremely resounding.

Sure enough, the fans who were aware of the state of affairs immediately became animated n the live broadcast room.

?WTF??? Zhong Kui???? Are you being serious????

?We told you to make a wave, not give up medical treatment ah!!!?

?Why are you playing Zhong Kui, do you resent being alive?!?

?...... Who gave you the courage to play Zhong Kui??

?What’s the sitch, what’s wrong with Zhong Kui, seeking explanation!?

?Everyone, welcome to the site where KK flips over.?

Although KK could not see the comments flooding the live broadcasting room, he seemed to have expected the comments. With a solemn face, he straightened his back, and used the visible lower half of his face to say seriously: “My Zhong Kui has paid its respect to a master before, and I’ve been put through special practice for it these past few days. For real, it’s extremely good, believe me.”
