YM778.TV Chapter 107: Wait For Me
The main reason was that his ID was ‘Dog’. If they didn’t call him Brother Dog, then how could they pay respects to his ‘doggy’ heart.
Brother Dog wanted to act like a hero, “Charge! Our goal today is to screw over the great demon king!”
RR’s top-laner was crying so much it was like he was made out of tears, “Then you guys should come quickly, I’m about to get screwed to death…”
As a self-reliant top-laner, life was too hard.
Things were fine before; why did Close have to stop playing jungler? Why did he have to come up to the top lane?
And he even took the motherf*cking shadow thief.
As everyone knew, death knights had the advantage over shadow thieves.
But now… why was he so scared that he was hiding under the tower and trembling?!
RR’s top-laner’s heart was bitter. “I, this death knight, don’t care about my dignity anymore!”
The viewers had also noticed the trend behind RR’s actions.
“They’re going to go mess with the great demon king.”
“They should screw him, they have to screw him. If they don’t take advantage of the time when the shadow thief hasn’t reached level six to suppress him, who will dare to go up to the top lane in the later stages?”
“Why is it that my shadow thief just dies when it sees a death knight?”
“That’s why you’re not the great demon king.”
The commentators were also very optimistic about RR’s current actions.
“Quiet has to go and clear out his jungle. Otherwise, he’ll be wasting farm.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity. RR’s mid-laner and support can charge up to the top lane, and in a three against one situation, even Close will have to be pushed back beneath his tower.”
“Based on Close’s current positioning, is it that his teammates didn’t give him any signals?”
Ning Zhehan had sent over a signal. He’d carefully probed the area, and after discovering that there was nobody in the middle lane, he’d immediately reminded them, “Captain, there’s nobody in the mid-lane!”
Brother Cai had checked out the bottom lane and immediately replied, “There’s nobody in the bottom lane.”
Then where had Moonlit gone? It could only be the top lane!
Wei Xiao was killing small jungle creeps, and he was an entire map away from the top lane. It was impossible for him to go up and provide support.
What’s more, he shouldn’t go up even if he could, because there were still many jungle creeps to kill, and if they weren’t all cleared, they wouldn’t refresh. Wasting this round of farm would be a very serious mistake.
Ning Zhehan: “I’ll go to the top lane!”
Lu Feng: “Stay in the middle lane and push forward.”
Ning Zhehan was stunned.
Wei Xiao also added, “There’s three of them up there.”
Lu Feng said three words to him. Wei Xiao was stunned for a second, then swore, “F*ck!”
Close was really worthy of being Close.
Close’s shadow thief really went up against heaven and earth!
Everything took place in just an instant. Moonlit and Brother Dog made their way to the top lane and crouched behind the shadow thief.
Even though he clearly knew that they’d arrived, Close didn’t retreat. Instead, he continued to pressure the death knight’s health.
The death knight was crying really loudly, “Come on, come on, I can’t hold on, I’m going to die, I…”
Moonlit ignored the sound of chatter in his ears, staring unblinkingly at the shadow thief in the canyon.
A level five shadow thief didn’t have its ultimate move and couldn’t brush out light arcs. As long as he went forward a little bit, just a little bit, he could…
“Go!” Moonlit found the right time.
There was no cooldown time for the shadow thief’s first skill that Close had on hand, and it could be used constantly.
However, the shadow thief had a limited amount of mana. If they dragged it on like this, he wouldn’t be able to use it that many times!
The live stream camera was focused on the canyon’s top lane. FTW’s shadow thief had just been suppressing the death knight when RR’s spirit mage and holy priest suddenly revealed themselves.
Everyone in the audience held their breath.
“Oh, my god, they’re going to surround the great demon king and beat him up, how exciting!”
“Screw him, screw him, screw him, I want to see the great demon king topple to the ground!”
“What’s FTW’s mid-laner doing? Why isn’t he going to provide support?!”
“It’s bad enough that he didn’t give a signal, he’s not even going to help out when they start fighting?”
“There’s no point in going, right? Close is definitely going to die. If Ning Zhehan goes, he’ll just be sending them another kill.”
“But he could at least clear out the soldiers from a distance and protect the top lane tower.”
“How should I say it… FTW seems a little overconfident?”
The commentator was still sharper than the audience. He said directly, “Cut to the perspective of the bottom jungle zone.”
The camera gave everyone a panoramic view, and everyone’s goosebumps popped out again.
“Quiet is soloing the small dragon!”
The ancient creature in the lower jungle zone was a cute little green dragon. The green dragon was the ancient creature’s early state. It had no horns on its head and only dealt a low amount of damage. Taking it down alone was very easy.
But…
After this small dragon was killed, the benefits would go to the whole team!
In other words, once Wei Xiao killed the small green dragon, Lu Feng, who was in the top lane, would also gain an increase in experience and money.
After the commentator assessed the situation, he provided the audience with an answer, “Little Green gives enough experience for the shadow thief to reach level six, and the money he obtains will be just enough for a level two iron sword.”
As soon as these words were spoken out, the audience who were watching from god’s perspective understood.
“Shit! A level six shadow thief will be able to stack light arcs.”
“The great demon king wants to take down three people on his own, so he told Ning Zhehan not to come support him?”
“Can he do it, can he do it…”
“If it’s nine light arcs, then there’ll be no problem with dealing damage!”
Based on RR’s current situation, it looked like it was three against one, but in fact, the death knight only had a bit of health left and couldn’t hold up at all.
Moonlit and the holy priest were in full health, but these two talents had a very low initial health maximum, and the holy priest who didn’t yet have its ultimate move only had mediocre healing.
The great demon king still had the purification skill on hand. As long as he could reach level six, he could definitely brush out his light arcs under a state where he couldn’t be controlled…
System Announcement––
FTW.Quiet killed an ancient creature.
As soon as the announcement rang out, RR’s entire team felt cold.
Money: “Badass.”
Moonlit: “……”
Brother Dog: “F*ck, is there enough time if I start running now?”
Like hell was there enough time. As soon as Little Green fell down, FTW’s entire team soared up by one level. The shadow thief that had originally been level five made it precisely to level six. What was more deadly was that Little Green had given Lu Feng gold. A little less wouldn’t have been enough, and a little more would’ve been useless, but it was just enough to let him build a core equipment piece.
Their brains reacted, but their bodies couldn’t move.
The great demon king had obviously been planning this for a long time. He started up a series of moves, and just at the moment when his mana reached the bottom, the sky filled up with light arcs that lit up half the canyon.
The little brother in charge of the broadcast was very skilled. He locked the camera on the shadow thief, showing the close-up plus 3D imaging and showing the gorgeous crimson cape that covered the whole lens.
The commentators spoke incredibly quickly, analyzing the entire situation almost instantaneously.
There was no doubt that the death knight would fall first.
With one less person to share the damage, Moonlit’s health plummeted. Brother Dog’s hands moved quickly, and he poured all of his heals into Moonlit’s body like crazy.
Unfortunately, it was useless…
This damage was too high. Although there was still a gap between the current light arcs and the damage that could be dealt out in the later stages, it was already enough to abuse the squishy spirit mage and the beautiful sister holy priest.
System Announcement––
FTW.Close killed RR.Xing.
FTW.Close killed RR.Moon.
FTW.Close killed RR.Dog.
FTW.Close triple kill!
The light arcs faded and the shadow thief’s scarlet cloak fluttered down, leaving only the canyon that was as silent as death.
1v3, triple kill!
The entire scene blew up.
“Close is amazing!”
“The shadow thief is so cool!”
“Shit, Laozi’s going to go back and practice the shadow thief. Damn it, it’s so handsome that my heart can’t stand it.”
“Hello, hello? Game planning? There’s a daddy here, hurry and nerf him down!”
Wei Xiao didn’t care about propriety at all as he blew out rainbow farts over the headset, “Damn, it’s too handsome!”
Ning Zhehan was also very excited, “Explosively strong!”
Wei Xiao: “Captain, captain!”
As he cooperated with Yue Wenle and Bai Cai to pressure RR’s bottom lane, he asked, “Teach me, teach me, what do I have to do to brush out nine light arcs?”
Lu Feng: “Brush them with your eyes closed.”
Wei Xiao: “…………”
Everyone in FTW roared with laughter.
Brother Cai almost sprained his foot: Sorry to disturb everyone, but their FTW’s inheritance wasn’t the shadow thief, it was the ability to act badass!
FTW’s momentum in this game was unstoppable. They crushed their opponents all the way from start to finish.
After RR stumbled in that 3v1, they were never able to stand back up again.
Moonlit managed to find good opportunities a few times and killed Little Ning twice, but it was useless as they simply had no way of holding down FTW’s double thieves.
As Wei Xiao had said, he focused on the top lane in this game and beat up RR’s top-laner Xing Kai until he wanted to shut himself up.
Xing Kai: “Captain, they’re targeting me!”
Money: “That’s right.”
Xing Kai: “???”
Money comforted him, “In any case, you’re not worth any money anymore. There’s no difference between dying once or dying ten times.”
The poor death knight cried like a child.
At first, the scrolling comments were still flaming RR, saying that RR were noobs and that they didn’t know how they’d won against EVE. Was it all based on luck? Moonlit wasn’t that good, and was RR’s death knight the reincarnation of a vegetable melon? Other than money, Money didn’t have anything else, right…
Later on, everyone stopped flaming.
Because anyone who wasn’t blind could understand.
It wasn’t that RR was weak, it was that FTW was too strong.
It wasn’t that Moonlit wasn’t excellent, but that the great demon king was too amazing.
It wasn’t that the death knight was a reincarnated vegetable melon, it was… anyone would close themselves up if they were faced with this shadow thief!
The game was originally intended as an entertainment game anyway. Towards the end, everyone just focused on enjoying the nine light arcs.
“I don’t know why, but I feel like the great demon king is indulging his fans.”
“Yingyingying, it turns out that Close’s nine light arcs really are something he can do casually whenever he wants to.”
“Language teacher, I was wrong. I have to go back and study hard, because other than ‘ahhhhh’, I have no other words in my vocabulary.”
Finally, the two sides had a team fight. FTW annihilated everyone in RR and stormed straight to the crystal.
The word ‘Victory’ popped up on the screen.
Wei Xiao turned his head to look at Lu Feng: “Captain…”
Lu Feng also looked at him, his thin lips moving––I don’t like the jungler position, but I like you.
Wei Xiao: “!”
He understood!!!
Lu Feng was once again the emotionless great demon king when he faced the camera. It was as though it had been someone else who’d said those words.
Even if Wei Xiao’s boldness was enough to cover the sky, he still didn’t dare to act up at this time.
Of course, no matter how much he suppressed it, he still couldn’t keep the corners of his lips from curving up in a smile.
Both sides stood up, heading over to shake hands and exchange bows.
Moonlit’s eyes were staring at Close, and his insistence that he refused to accept defeat was practically written on his face.
Wei Xiao blocked his gaze.
Moonlit looked at him.
Wei Xiao shook his hand, “It’ll be my turn next time.”
Moonlit held tight to his hand, “Next time, it’ll be me.”
Wei Xiao competed with him over hand strength, “Dream on.”
Moonlit refused to accept defeat, “Wake up.”
From beside them, Money laughed loudly, then led away his own primary school chick, “Alright, alright, the next time will be during a formal game.”
Wei Xiao went back to his captain’s side, but he couldn’t hold hands with him.
At the end of the opening match, FTW had launched out the most resounding rocket of the new season.
The entire network was filled with FTW, they were all in high spirits, and everyone was looking forward to seeing FTW make its way back to the peak this season.
The hot searches went up one by one.
FTW, Close, great demon king, top lane shadow thief.
Each and every one of them involved Lu Feng, and they were all related to him. The fans who’d been suppressed for a long time finally saw the onset of dawn this year.
The real great demon king would come out and crack down on the global games!
There were no more games after that. When everyone in FTW was back in the team van, Xiang Liu spoke up, “Everyone should uninstall Weibo temporarily.”
These words were very obscure, but everyone understood.
The official blog had sent out an announcement.
Just when all the fans were boiling with excitement, FTW’s statement on their official blog was like adding water to hot oil, almost blowing up half the Glory circle.
FTW Club: Due to the aggravation of a shoulder injury, team member @FTW.Close will be leaving for North America for treatment. Thank you for everyone’s attention and support. Please look forward to the king’s return two months later.
It was a very simple statement, but it managed to confuse everyone.
There was no doubt that the countless fans who saw this piece of news had still been filled with enthusiasm one second prior, but in the next second, they’d all burst into tears.
Wei Xiao didn’t uninstall Weibo. He saw the crazy comments that followed, read the countless queries and cries.
Close had a shoulder injury.
Close was leaving the team for treatment.
The man who’d broken open the Glory of the China competition zone with his nine light arcs that night had been fighting while injured.
Wei Xiao felt his nose grow sour as he continued looking.
It wasn’t just him. Bai Cai, Ning Zhehan, Yue Wenle, all of them were red-eyed.
The most excellent Close, the most powerful Close, the Close who’d guarded FTW with his own strength… had to leave the field at such an important moment, at such a critical time.
The fans cried.
They cried, too.
All the people who loved Close had no way to control their tears.
Lu Feng forwarded the announcement and left three words––
Wait for me.
xiin: well…. LF is leaving, but don’t worry, he’ll show up often. have you tried long-distance dog food before? because you will now!
(another good example of long distance dog food is RMLE~ it might be a bit angsty for those of you who follow my translations for fluff, but the MC and ML had the cutest long distance phone calls)
