Xiao Bei and Lin Dong reached the apartment not long after they had ended the call.

“Luocheng.” Xiao Bei greeted, his face breaking out into a smile, giving off a child-like aura.

Luocheng nodded, ushering them into the room.

Stepping into the room, Xiao Bei noticed a girl with beautiful long legs wearing hot pants sitting beside the computer. She turned, smiling politely at him, her eyes bright and seemingly having the skill to charm anything with it.

Xiao Bei’s face flushed red immediately, his mouth moving but nothing came out, frozen in spot, not daring to greet her at all. Qianqian gave a confused look toward Luocheng and Lin Dong.

“Oh, he doesn’t dare to speak to pretty girls. You just need to get used to it.” Lin Dong replied to her unasked question.

Luocheng laughed as he watched Xiao Bei’s struggle and said, “You haven’t gotten rid of this fear of yours.”

“I...I...”

This was the first time Qianqian had met someone who didn’t dare to speak to a girl and she couldn’t help but giggle.

“Sis...Big sis.” Xiao Bei stuttered, gathering his courage.

The moment the words came out, it was Qianqian’s turn to flush. Not knowing how to respond, she turned her glare toward Luocheng instead.

“Type in the password. This computer is a gaming computer with high specs, the sensitivity and speed of the mouse and keyboard is also high. The computers in the cyber cafe the other day weren’t that good.” Luocheng said to Lin Dong.

The last four rounds, they had to win it all tonight. After all, this was also related to the team that Lin Dong had set up to enter the LPL!

Lin Dong keyed in the password quickly, bringing them to Ionia Server One.

Luocheng sat down in the chair and selected the solo rank, putting him in queue.

“Luocheng, which lane are you going for?” Xiao Bei asked.

“Bottom lane.” Luocheng replied.

At this moment in time, Luocheng had no confidence to be able to defeat the opponents, so the best chance he had of winning was to pick the bottom lane.

Ting!

The screen changed and entered the banning phase of the match.

“5th level...what the...”

Xiao Bei and Lin Dong both were startled. Being on the 5th floor meant that it would be hard to get any of the main carry positions, in the worst case scenario, he would be stuck with Support.

“This is better.” Luocheng said and smiled, seeing that he was on the 5th floor.

The floor you get during a ranked match depended on how high your ranking points were. Luocheng getting the 5th floor would mean that his rank was the lowest in his team.

This was actually a good thing as it meant that his teammates were all ranked above him, and his own personal account was above this current account’s rank. With this arrangement, the possibility of winning the match was above 50%.

“The positions are all taken, you can only be Support.” Lin Dong said, frowning.

“First floor is ADC, I can play Support.” Luocheng replied.

In a high elo game, the bottom lane’s ADC on both sides wouldn’t have much difference in terms of strength. Half of the game of the ADC would depend on the Support’s performance, the fundamental skills were the same, but depending on how well the Support could cooperate, they could claim a kill or even double kill.

“It’s Sona and Miss Fortune on the other side.” Xiao Bei said.

Luocheng didn’t hesitate for even a moment and picked The Great Steam Golem—Blitzcrank. After Blitzcrank had been nerfed, he appeared less in the bigger competitions. Firstly, his mana consumption was too heavy. Secondly, with other Support champions excelling, even if Blitzcrank managed to land a hook, it was not confirmed that they would be able to win the fight.

The reason Luocheng would choose Blitzcrank regardless, was because he had confidence in himself! The ADC on his team was a Vayne, that is to say, as long as Luocheng was able to use Blitzcrank to reel in the opponent and Vayne followed up with Condemn to pin them to the wall, the opponent’s head was basically theirs.

When Qianqian saw Luocheng had picked Blitzcrank, her heart jumped in her chest. She recalled the time when he was playing LOL and had carried the whole team with his Blitzcrank, defeating the bullies from Class 3.

“I’ve seen that ID of 36D before, I think it’s a professional Support.” Lin Dong said. “I’ve never seen her play any other position before.”

Blitzcrank was a bad match up for Sona, and this fact made Luocheng confident that they more or less had the game in the bag.

“Oh yeah, who is 36D anyway?” Qianqian asked softly, suddenly recalling something. “I’ve heard the name somewhere.”

Xiao Bei still didn’t dare to talk and Lin Dong didn’t seem to be able to answer the question either. As Luocheng guided Blitzcrank out of the base, he said, “Sona.”

“Sona, then her english abbreviation is 36D? Similar to Vayne’s VN, Ezreal’s EZ?” Qianqian queried. “Why is hers in numbers then?”

“Um...Something like that.” Luocheng replied vaguely.

Aih, these people who play LOL are also too much, giving Sona a nickname was fine and all, but why did they choose to give her a nickname based on the measurements of certain body parts. It really was embarrassing. If that was the case, wouldn’t Annie be 20A? Please, she was still just a child.

At level one there was no teamfight, the other side had good early game champions—Jax and Shen. Even if they had fought, it most likely wouldn’t be worth it. Helping his jungler take the buff, Blitzcrank and Vayne hurriedly made their way to the bottom lane. Luocheng purposely let Vayne obtain the full experience from the first two creeps, intending to let her reach level two faster.

The trend now was to learn E once Vayne had reached level two, especially since the Support was a Blitzcrank. If Vayne could reach level two faster, they could do the combo play (combo, meaning to sync their abilities together).

Qianqian waited and saw that once Vayne had reached level two, Luocheng started to find opportunities to hook.

Sona’s ward had already been cleared by him using the True Sight Ward and the creep wave was pushing in his direction. The moment the creep wave came further in, Sona would definitely use this chance to plant another ward in the brush and clear his. Luocheng was waiting for that chance.

Judging from the time Sona was harassing Vayne when they were level one, she was obviously confident with her skills. The more confident they were, the easier it would be to bring them down!

Luocheng watched Sona carefully, he wouldn’t be able to hook 36D once she placed the wards. Everyone who plays Support knew that you should be more aware of hooks when you are planting wards, this tactic was used in mid tier games and would obviously be seen through easily.

If you wanted to land the hook, it must be during the time the creep wave presses forward, the moment when your opponent plans to head over to the brush!

Ping!

Luocheng pressed the the G key, pinging for Vayne to start their attack. Vayne continued to farm, not repositioning to where he pinged. It was obvious that Vayne didn’t think Blitzcrank could really land the hook.

Rocket Grab!

The yellow hook flew out, even if it stretched till the end, the distance to Sona was still about a hundred yards! However, Sona was still moving forward!

When the hook reached the farthest distance, Sona hit the hook head on! The hook retracted, dragging Sona back with it, violently slamming her under Blitzcrank’s body!

As expected, the Vayne was a highly skilled player. Her reaction was immediate and she Tumbled to the side, throwing out her Condemn which landed right on Sona!

If Sona didn’t Flash out on time, her first time would be taken right here!
