Chapter 312 Lu Bu, the Chinese server's top player, suffers a brutal beating.
Chapter 312 Lu Bu, the Chinese server's top player, suffers a brutal beating.
"That should be true." Ye Lan nodded in agreement with Dehua's idea.
When both sides have the skills and want to manipulate the other, it's essentially a game of rock-paper-scissors.
Whoever is lucky wins.
But that wasn't the case just now. If Dehua had known Cheng Yaojin's skill cooldowns by heart, he could have easily taken him down.
All I can say is that I still suffered from being brainless.
This is actually quite normal. After all, how many people would memorize everyone's skill cooldowns like Ye Lan would?
And Dehua's death caused a huge uproar among his teammates.
After all, during the ban/pick phase, Dehua was showing off his rank and win record, enjoying immense prestige.
He was killed in a one-on-one fight less than a minute after entering the game. The speed at which he was proven wrong was just too fast.
"What's wrong with the Chinese server player? How did you give up first blood so quickly? Is the Cheng Yaojin you were laning against really that strong?"
Kai's words were not sarcastic at all; they were a genuine expression of his feelings. Perhaps it was because Ye Lan had been making sarcastic remarks to him all along that Dehua perceived them as mockery.
However, in order to maintain his image as a master, this time of day is obviously not suitable for getting angry.
The reply, converted from voice to text, read: "No, that Cheng Yaojin on the other side is a complete idiot. Idiots are the best counters. I've overcomplicated things."
"I see." Kai nodded thoughtfully.
"Good luck, expert. I'll help you catch some enemies later."
"It's alright, I was just overestimating him. Now I'm going to show you what it means to survive an entire battle and become a god!"
Ye Lan frowned in confusion.
"What, you don't believe me?" Dehua asked curiously.
"I don't remember putting garlic in the claypot rice just now, so why are you being so arrogant?"
Dehua:............
Dehua secretly vowed to show off his skill as the top Lu Bu player in the national server and teach Ye Lan a lesson.
After the first wave of minions, Cheng Yaojin's health was actually quite low after the two fought.
However, he did not choose to go home because Cheng Yaojin's passive skill [Sacrifice for Life] restores 8% of his lost health every time he uses a skill.
Simply put, the more health you have, the less health you recover; the less health you have, the more health you recover. Less health is equivalent to more health.
When Lu Bu returned to the lane, Cheng Yaojin had already cleared the second wave of minions.
His health remained at about one-third.
Seeing this health bar, and remembering that Cheng Yaojin had used up all his skills to clear the minions, Dehua instantly lost his mind and controlled Lu Bu to charge forward.
The first skill [Fangtian Huazhan] hit Cheng Yaojin, who had no skills available.
Then he raised his hand and used his second skill, [Greedy Wolf's Grip], taking a deep breath and gaining a high shield that gave Dehua the courage to fight to the end.
After all, the opponent only had one-third of their health left, while we were at full health, so the odds of winning seemed very high.
Cheng Yaojin has no skills left and is slowed down by Lu Bu's second skill, so he definitely can't escape and can only choose to fight back.
Cheng Yaojin has an economic lead due to the river crab, minions, and the first blood kill. In addition, his passive ability increases his damage as his health decreases. When his axe strikes Lu Bu, the damage is also quite considerable.
The two were losing health at roughly the same rate, and even Ye Lan couldn't tell who would win this fight.
"Next wave of my first skill, and I'll take you down!"
A fierce glint flashed in Dehua's eyes, as if he had truly returned to the era of the Tiger on the wing.
Soon, Lu Bu's first skill was ready again.
To avoid a repeat of the previous situation, Dehua learned his lesson this time and prepared to use a side slash to take Cheng Yaojin down.
The side slash has a longer range than the front slash, but the skill area is smaller.
What Dehua didn't expect was that Cheng Yaojin would give up attacking at this moment and instead use his first skill to create distance and jump away.
Dehua, who successfully forced Cheng Yaojin to retreat, also looked very proud.
"Tch, so what if he gets a kill and first blood? He'll still be running away with his tail between his legs after I beat him up."
Hearing Dehua's smug words, Ye Lan couldn't help but look at him with eyes full of concern for children with intellectual disabilities.
Is this what you call running away with your tail between your legs?!
The other side was clearly making a selective retreat.
Dehua's health is currently less than one-tenth, making him extremely vulnerable. The opponent is unlikely to let him off so easily.
There is only one possibility for Cheng Yaojin to choose to retreat.
The enemy jungler is coming!
As expected, just as Ye Lan had thought, the moment Cheng Yaojin retreated, Dian Wei, who was standing on red and blue buffs and had reached level four and possessed his ultimate skill, appeared in the river.
Without any fancy maneuvers, he activated his first skill, [Red Eye], and charged forward at high speed.
Then, when the distance was about right, Dian Wei raised his giant axe high, jumped up suddenly, and smashed the axe down on Lü Bu's head.
After landing next to Lü Bu, he stomped his foot again, and with a few swift movements, took down the nearly dead Lü Bu.
One angry leap, two jumps, three stomps – what a satisfying combo!
"Damn, that's so damn cheap! It's a real man's battle in the top lane, and Dian Wei comes over to fuck his mother!"
Dehua was so angry that he slammed his phone on the table. The force was so great that a black part flew into Ye Lan's lunchbox.
"Brother Hua, we got some loot!" Ye Lan, who was eating, picked up a black fragment.
And Hua's second death also drew the ire of his teammates.
The first death can be covered up as an accident, but what about the second?
The pro was supposed to carry them, so why are they feeding kills?
"What happened to Lü Bu? How did he die again?" his teammates began to question Dehua.
"There's nothing we can do, the enemy jungler came to gank us." Dehua's voice was weak and listless, clearly showing his frustration.
In his calculations, as long as Dian Wei didn't come to support him, Cheng Yaojin would have no chance of escape and would surely die under his halberd.
But by sheer bad luck, Dian Wei, who had just started playing, appeared on the leaderboard.
Hearing Dehua's excuse, Kai couldn't help but frown. "I started with red buff and farmed down the lane. You should have played it safe at level four. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
In addition to the top laners contesting the fourth-tier lane, junglers usually come to help.
Everyone wants to control the lane and then use their ultimate abilities to kill the opponent.
This makes it easy for junglers to gank.
With both sides having junglers present, they hinder each other and may even be wary of each other, so they dare not make a move without careful consideration.
However, when it's clear that one side's jungler is absent, in a two-on-one situation with overwhelming numbers, there's not much to consider.
"You don't even have this idea? Are you even a top-ranked Lu Bu player in the Chinese server?"
Kai began to doubt the authenticity of Dehua's Lu Bu in the Chinese server.
"Could it be that they're using a friend's account to deliberately sabotage us?"
"It's possible that this is true. After all, it's still the Lunar New Year period, and people are visiting relatives and friends. Their mobile phones are probably in the hands of the children."
"I'm speechless that I ran into a primary school student like this in my first game of the new year."
