Chapter 146: Why So Serious?

“What about Thresh?” James queried.

The player who played Thresh was equally exceptional. His timing of charging in, hook’s angle, and lantern’s position were all well on point. He set the pace of the two skirmishes perfectly and helped Caitlyn build her enormous advantage with five early kills. His counter had also been executed precisely to bury Shen and topple the three champions’s retaliation.

“This player has only played about 100 games. His winning rate is quite high as well,” Huang Kong said.

‘Only a hundred games... Luckily he is not as scary as Shallow Dream’s 20 win-streak.’

Of course, 100 games became relatively acceptable when compared to Shallow Dream’s absurd record. Actually, reaching 2000 League Points within 100 games was extremely difficult too in this competitive Ionia region.

“I have checked his records roughly. This Thresh did play other positions from time to time. His favorite is still the bottom lane. For f*cks sake...” Huang Kong cursed again as he scrolled through F-Hawk’s record.

“What now?” Bai Feng asked.

“His win rate at the bottom lane is extraordinary! Other than Vayne, most of his bottom lane champions have a win rate of 90% and above. Among them, Ezreal and Blitzcrank have a perfect record!” Huang Kong reported.

LOL box could be used to check a player’s recent match record. Huang Kong discovered that judging by the bottom lane’s record alone, this player’s win rate was startlingly high!

A 20 win-streak required a lot of luck on top of great skills. On the other hand, a player who could maintain such a high win rate after so many games did not rely on luck but more on his or her tested skills.

Bai Feng walked toward the computer and opened the chat box to type.

“SD, I know it’s you. I am Bai Feng. My LOL ID is Storm. I have been watching the game and recognize your playstyle and ID. I never thought that you were also a Chinese player.” Bai Feng typed.

Team Revelation often trained in the American server, thus, Bai Feng was familiar with the LOL pro gamers over there.

The chatbox became very lively after Bai Feng sent out the message.

“Yes.” As always, Shallow Dream answered straightforwardly. She then continued to break through the bottom lane with her Caitlyn.

Since the opponent team’s bottom lane players had gone AFK, Luocheng’s Thresh no longer joined the push. He just stood aside while watching Caitlyn leisurely.

“As I have guessed, you really are a professional player. Someone managed to recognize you even though you kept denying it!” Luocheng teased.

“Thresh, you are an idiot. SD is not a professional player! Don’t you know anything about international LOL at all?” The mid player replied. He must have played in the American Server before so he knew a thing or two about Shallow Dream.

‘What? Not a professional player?’ Luocheng was flabbergasted.

Other than himself, who else could reach such a level while playing only pub games? Luocheng was getting more and more intrigued by this player named Shallow Dream.

“The opponent has sent you a friend invite!” Yu Luocheng typed rapidly.

Shallow Dream continued to tear down the tower. She didn’t seem to have accepted Bai Feng’s request. Similarly, she ignored Yu Luocheng’s invitation as well.

“Hey, don’t be so arrogant. My Thresh has done all the dirty work for you! Warding, surrendering the farm to you, protecting you in the lane, and helping you secure kill after kill. It’s fine if you do not accept that guy named Bai Feng but I treated you like a princess and yet you still refuse to add me as your friend? Don’t you know that’s very impolite of you? Don’t you know it’s quite common to get a teammate that purposely AFKs or feeds?” Luocheng did not give up and continued to persuade.

Perhaps Shallow Dream had hidden the chat window for she did not reply and continued to tear down the Nexus tower single-mindedly.

The opponent had given up on resistance and requested for mid-push to end the game quickly.

The game ended earlier and easier than expected. However, Yu Luocheng was still utterly dissatisfied as Shallow Dream refused to add him.

They finished the game swiftly and secured the easy win. If every game went as smooth as this one, 2300 or 2400 League Points would be achieved in no time.

Shallow Dream ignored Bai Feng’s friend request and left the room quickly as soon as the screen turned to the end-game summary.

Bai Feng clicked on the “+” symbol beside Caitlyn to send the request once again.

However, he did not receive any response from her.

“She... seems to have no interest,” James said.

Bai Feng was rather popular within the country and seldom initiated a friend invite. Nevertheless, Shallow Dream did not seem to care and directly exited the chat room.

Bai Feng frowned as he was irritated at being ignored so blatantly.

“Do you want to add Thresh?” James asked.

Before Bai Feng could answer, James had clicked the “+” button by reflex.

As a result, to no one’s surprise, Thresh too ignored the request.

This put them in an awkward position. They had also just proven a simple fact—Good players were usually arrogant players too.

***

After Luocheng rejected James’s request, he tried to add Shallow Dream one last time.

A moment later, Shallow Dream’s avatar appeared on Luocheng’s friend list.

Yu Luocheng was pleased. ‘She is just like a typical lady. Sharp tongued but a softie on the inside.’

“Let’s double queue,” Yu Luocheng sent her a message.

“I am quitting now,” Shallow Dream replied.

“... Then let’s play together next time?” Luocheng asked.

“I will add you if we meet again in the future,” Shallow Dream answered.

‘I thought we had already become friends in LOL. Why would you still need to add me?’

Before Luocheng could respond, Shallow Dream’s avatar suddenly disappeared from the list.

Luocheng quickly searched the offline list and realized Shallow Dream’s ID was not there too.

“What the f*ck!” Luocheng’s face turned gloomy.

Bai Feifei who was sitting beside Yu Luocheng turned to him. Her clear eyes peered at Luocheng who had just cursed out randomly.

Luocheng was greatly upset. ‘How could she delete me just like that?’

Luocheng was a teenager with high principles and dignity, and he could not allow himself to be fooled this way.

‘Brilliant! So what if you have more points? If it wasn’t because of military training, my League Points would have long surpassed yours! Stupid Shallow Dream. You better hope you won’t meet me on the opposite team next time or else you will know who’s boss! What an arrogant b*tch! That’s it! If we are on the same team next time, I will say nothing and immediately go AFK! If you are my enemy, then I will teach you a thing or two about respect!’

Fuming, Yu Luocheng quit the game and pulled out the LOL box to check Shallow Dream’s past result.

“F*ck this!” Luocheng cursed again.

Bai Feifei looked at him again, this time with clear disdain. She had never met a guy with such crappy behavior. ‘How could he swear successively out of nowhere in such a short time?’

Yu Luocheng couldn’t care less about Feifei’s opinion toward him now. His whole mind had just been numbed by Shadow Dream’s record—20 games, 20 victories!

This was the first time Luocheng had seen such a formidable record, and he was not entirely sure about how he was feeling at that very moment...

‘Actually... If we do meet again, let’s be friends. Well, you know, sometimes we should be forgiving and just let bygones be bygones... Why so serious?’
