Those Sweet Times

Chapter 30 Part 2

That night, the way Xiang Nuan playing the game was quite confusing to
her teammates. Her champion, Zhang Fei, moved in random patterns and
always delayed in releasing his abilities.

Zheng Dongkai said: “I suspect it's a sloth playing on that cell phone.”

Lin Chuyan: “She drank too much.”

With Xiang Nuan playing irrationally, Lin Chuyan began trolling, and with
Dayu's weak marksmanship as usual, they lost four out of the five matches
they played that night.

Zheng Dongkai noticed that the key person that lost them the game was
Xiang Nuan. He wasn't blaming her, but it just showed that the whole team
were used to the protection of a competent support. When she started
s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up, the whole team lost their momentum.

That was the importance of the support.

They were all a little shaken by the losses that night. The next day, they
discussed the possibility of playing the game with a different lineup.

Actually, they should have tried a new line up as a team long ago.

The ranked games for Diamond and above were played with draft pick. The
games had a phase where they ban champions first then choosing champions,
both sides could see the other side's choices. In addition, neither team could
choose the same champion. The game rules weren't as lenient as those for
the lower ranks; the game no longer allowed the same champion on both sides
in the same match.

Therefore, they as a team had to think ahead how to make the best possible
arrangement for a winning line up.

If their choice of champions happened to be banned or picked by the other side,
even with equal skill level, the other side would have a much better chance of
winning the match.

In order to have the flexibility of choosing champions, a player mustn't have
just a single champion in their champion pool.

Xiang Nuan and her teammates thus decided not to play any ranked games
first, but to practice with different new champions.

Xiang Nuan checked all the champions and locked her eyes on her favorite
Diaochan.

“I want to play a mage today, can't I?”

She sounded as if she was pleading. Lin Chuyan almost chuckled, this silly
girl was really a pushover.

Even Zheng Dongkai couldn't bear to listen her asking in such a tone: “We're
just trying out different champions. You can play whichever champion you want.
Chuyan trolled too much last night, he'll play support today.”

Lin Chuyan said: “Ok.”

Xiang Nuan then chose Diaochen as her champion.

Then she put the skin she had bought earlier on Diaochen in excitement.

Zheng Dongkai was surprised to see that: “Is this how you play the game? You
aren't even familiar with that champion and you already bought a skin for her?”

“It looks so pretty.” Xiang Nuan had already collected many champions and their
skins. She didn't care whether she had a chance to use them. She would collect
them as long as they looked good.

She was playing Kings of Glory as if it was Miracle Nikki.

Zheng Dongkai sighed: “I just knew it; you wouldn't learn anything useful playing
with Lin Chuyan all the time.”

Lin Chuyan chose to play Donghuang Taiyi as support.

Donghuang Taiyi was a mage type tank, with an ugly appearance like most of
the tanks. He had a long snake tail, dressed in a sorcerer's garb, and had each
hand tucked in the opposite sleeve like a sorceress. There were three black b.a.l.l.s
surrounding him as he walked.  The eyes were entirely white, without pupils, which
was emitting lights----It was not just ugly, it was the kind of ugly that had not an
ounce of righteousness, unlike Zhang Fei.

After the match started, Xiang Nuan moved her Diaochen down mid lane and
Lin Chuyan's Donghuang Taiyi followed her.

Xiang Nuan was disgusted with his champion: “Ugly man, go away. I'm going to
take a screenshot.”

“Hahahaha!” Zheng Dongkai laughed: “This is the first time I heard Lin Chuyan
being referred as a ugly man! It's music to our ears!”

Lin Chuyan quietly moved to the jungle, across the river, and squatted down in
the bush where he liked to hide in.

Hum, it was a good chance to steal the blue buff.

Lin Chuyan had an obsession about stealing the enemy's blue buff. No matter
which champion he was controlling, he liked to steal the blue buff at the beginning
of the game. Sometimes, he was successful; sometimes, he never returned.

The enemy mage was  Zhuge Liang. He sent a message while staying in the
safe zone.

Zhuge Liang: Donghuang Taiyi, no need to hide. Your b.a.l.l.s are showing.

It was the first time Lin Chuyan had played Donghuang Taiyi and the first time
he learned that Donghuang Taiyi wasn't suitable for hiding in the bushes----he
could hide himself but the b.a.l.l.s couldn't.

Such a pity.

Lin Chuyan quietly came out of the bush, facing Zhuge Liang. En, it was quite
an embarra.s.sment.

It would be too pathetic if he just turned around and walked away. So Lin Chuyan
said: “All of you come over here.” Then he ran to hara.s.s the enemy's jungler.

It seemed that, instead of stealing, he was going to rob the blue buff.
