LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 291 Like a model descended from heaven, truly a fine example for humanity! Like father, like son!
"Alright, everyone, welcome to the live broadcast of the Asian Games Qualifiers. This simulated match will continue to be commentated by Chen Jieyan and Wang Qianyuan!"

The professional Wang Duoduo changed his usual fast-talking pace and even stuttered, which is rare for him.

Even the voice has been changed to a pure broadcasting tone, which can only be described as extremely strange.

"Xiang Cui, a cadet athlete, has successfully earned the first point for the Chinese team!"

"Wang Jie in the bot lane is also putting up a strong performance! His Jinx has reached level six and has her ultimate ability! With the help of the support, she secured a solo kill in the lane! The last bit of health was ignited, earning her another point!"

"Oh look! Jinx has triggered 'Victory Boost'! She's scoring her second goal! The jungler who came from behind doesn't seem to be able to escape either, and Jinx continues to rack up a hat trick! The top laner has also teleported down!"

"Jinx scores four goals! She's just one step away from achieving the highest honor in League of Legends: a five-goal haul!"

"Let's congratulate the Chinese team on winning the first place! Wang Jie, the top scorer of this match, performed exceptionally well!"

This outrageous scene prompted viewers watching the live stream to make a lot of jokes.

[On the road, "The Handshake of Noxus" and "Demacian Justice" are having a friendly physical sparring match!]

"Ah! Noxus's handshake starts with an unconventional physical display—it's the 'Hand of Friendship'! Wow! The Demacian forces of justice have been warmly persuaded to stay!"

[After a friendly physical contact, the Demacian Might of Justice seemed to be the first to tire! Noxus immediately displayed his noble character by using the 'Noxus Podium'! Congratulations! He successfully awarded the Demacian Might of Justice the 'First Medal of Physical Recovery in the Match,' politely sending him back to base to rest! While securing his first point, he also fully embodied the Olympic spirit of 'friendship first, competition second'!]

[The perspective shifts back to the mid lane. What?! The mid laner actually bought a "Mejai's Points Card"!!!]

[Like a role model descended from heaven, truly a fine example for humanity! This Jax is a source of positive energy!]

[The following characters are highly recommended: Compassionate Little Master, Harmonious Thorn, Dock Bodhisattva, Desert Living Buddha, Law-Abiding Citizen, Singer of Life, Embrace of Happiness, War God of Living Beings, Joy of the North, Time Prodigy, Chinese Sword God, Giver of the Void, Spear of Repayment, Straight Tree Spirit, Messenger of Auspicious Clouds, Blood Donation Volunteer, King of Wholeness, and Award Presenter of Glory!]

[Aren't they Black Magician, Hulk, Ninja Man, Straw Man, Humming Man, Oil Man, Double Axe Man, Double Swords Man, Purple Pearl Man, Pig Man, and Rubber Man?]

"What the hell is this?!"

Looking at this scene, Ye Bo couldn't help but think of his own time on stage.

Although everyone had heard before the competition that esports had become an official event this year and needed to conform to the Olympic Committee's "love & peace Olympic spirit," a certain degree of "civilization optimization" had been carried out.

For example, you should address players by their real names and heroes by their full names, not by strange nicknames.

But honestly, no one expected this polite language.
Such a civilized law!
“Other projects are fun too!” Xun exclaimed, holding his phone.

"The death animation in Peacekeeper Elite has been changed to a waving goodbye, and the battle royale rules have been transformed into a cyberpunk triathlon where you drive and shoot targets!"

"The farmers seem to be similar to us, but it seems they made a special Asian Games version!"

"What do you mean a professional player can't recognize what hero the opponent has picked?"

Although each project has generated a lot of fun.

However, as a qualifier, this is actually an experimental attempt, and some changes will be made when the main competition begins.

Ultimately, it should become more natural.

In addition, like all traditional sports, esports players undergo procedures such as urine tests and oaths before entering the stage, and they also carry the national flag on their shoulders when they come on stage.
Ye Bo is already very much looking forward to his Asian Games journey three months from now.

of course.

There isn't much to refer to regarding the events themselves during the Asian Games journey.

After all, the versions are different, and the difference in team strength is enormous.

Apart from the three main regions, the competitions in the other dozen or so countries were simply chaotic!
Here you can see {Jill top lane with 75 CS in 20 minutes}, {Indian Garen with a crit-based B.F. Sword rush}, and {the "Apology Game" where none of the four players dealt more than 4396 damage at the end of the game}.

There was even a failed surrender attempt in the Southeast Asian region, almost resulting in a return to the French colonial era.
The overall schedule is only two or three days long. The only matches worth watching are the games against CN Taipei and the KR team tomorrow and the day after.

Ye Bo was about to start a ranked match.

But then my phone suddenly lit up with a message.

{Son, when is your match? Your dad and I have been looking for the schedule for ages and can't find it 0.0}
Seeing the messages in the group chat, Ye Bo knew that the two must have just finished watching the live broadcast, but they probably confused the difference between the Asian Games journey and the main competition.

He gave a brief explanation.

The group chat also ended with my mom's surfing emoji.

However, Ye Bo's phone soon received another private message from his mother.

Today is Father's Day, did you buy your dad a gift?
"Oh no, I forgot!"

Ye Bo glared and slapped his thigh.

He's been so busy lately. He just got back from MSI and is already busy with all sorts of preparations, and then his Asian Games campaign falls on the same day. He completely forgot about it!
Fortunately, the thoughtful Ye Ying had already made preparations and immediately comforted him, saying that she had already bought it for him and would send it to his home in Ye Bo's name.

Ye Bo opened his chat with his dad, intending to send him a red envelope.

He then realized that the last time the two of them communicated was a year ago, on the day Ye Bo unlocked the progress bar, when he was halfway through his meal and "escaped" to the toilet to check the system notification.

His dad transferred money to him, reminding him not to forget his mom's birthday.
Ye Bo stared blankly at his phone, then started tapping the screen.

Hey Dad, wanna play some games? The team's on holiday today.
The message came back in about ten seconds, and it was very brief.

{upper number}
Since becoming a professional player meant he could no longer use other people's accounts to play ranked matches, Ye Bo could only log into his mother's game account to play casual modes.

He logged into the account of "Forty-Year-Old Aunt Wants to Play Professionally" on the first server and searched his friend list for any familiar IDs.

Meanwhile, an ID called "Fishing Uncle Wants to Reach King Rank" voluntarily joined the queue.

Matching patterns are loading.

However, his voice was quite calm at one point.

Neither of them spoke, and there seemed to be an awkward silence in the air.
"By the way, thank you for the fishing rod, it's a good choice."

Ye Bo heard the familiar voice coming from the other end and was about to say something.

But he happened to open the other person's career panel and was immediately surprised and exclaimed.

"Wow! Dad, you've reached Diamond IV?!"

He still remembers that more than half a year ago, when he won the championship, he went to an internet cafe to play games with his friends. His opponent was a complete novice in online games who was very clumsy with basic operations. His mother almost turned into a childlike old woman from the Tianshan Mountains because of his mistakes.

In just over half a year, they've already reached Diamond IV!?
Ye Bo still remembers that ten years ago, it took him a whole season to reach the Diamond rank, which was when he was most addicted to the internet.

—Although the difficulty of climbing the ranks ten years ago is incomparable to that now, for example, the infamous promotion series have been canceled, and each rank only has four sub-ranks with no "Diamond 5" level.
But for a forty-year-old, it is still by no means an easy task.

Ye Bo carefully examined the hero he was using.

I discovered that the opponent used a very similar strategy to mine in Single Heroes of the Night to climb the ranks, almost exclusively playing Sylas, with only recently showing more wins with Hellhound.
"I feel like I have some talent for this game." Ye Xiong's tone in the voice chat was feigned calmness, but the corners of his mouth were already slightly upturned.

"That's right! Don't you know who your father is? This is genetic talent!"

Ye Xiong felt that there was something strange about what he was saying.

However, although things were a bit awkward at first, everything changed as soon as you entered the game.

The atmosphere immediately became very natural.

There's not much to consider in matchmaking. Ye Bo chose Blade of the Ruined King, a jungler who's good at carrying, while Ye Xiong, perhaps wanting to "prove himself" in front of Ye Bo, instantly picked Sylas.

"Dad, this game was awesome! The enemy team had a Malphite and a Skarner, plus two Sylas with their ultimate abilities!"

"It's just that Jayce in the mid lane is a bit tough in the early game, but I'll help you gank!"

Ye Xiong was slightly puzzled: "The Malphite is very strong, but I haven't seen this jungler much. It seems to only have single-target control, and you have to use it at close range. It shouldn't be considered strong, right?"

"no no no"

Ye Bo gave the other party a lesson in some special knowledge, which instantly piqued Ye Xiong's interest.

But the opponent we've been matched against is no pushover.

Ye Bo didn't open WeGame, otherwise he would have noticed the anomaly in the other party's five accounts—a top lane Malphite with over 1000 match games and an absurdly high win rate of 99.99%!

The other four accounts all had a match win rate of less than 30%, which is why they were matched with Ye Bo and his partner.

This is clearly a classic product of the Chinese server: "Winning Rate Team".

Such high-win-rate teams are common in matchmaking, ARAM, and squad play, especially in the first server.

It's basically about a boss hiring four people to play with him, and then deliberately using four accounts with extremely low win rates and hidden MMR to play five-player matches.

These gaming companions are basically at least Grandmaster or Master level, while the clients are mostly only Gold or Platinum or below. However, normally, the opponents you'll be matched with are at most Gold or Platinum!

With such a disparity in skill level, to put it bluntly, even if the boss were to simply AFK, he could still easily win!

Some people are wondering what the point of swiping this is? It's good for showing off!
After all, compared to other online games, League of Legends lacks a lot of "channels for showing off".

The most expensive skin right now only costs a few hundred yuan!

Compared to games like a certain milk powder brand, a certain Journey to the West game, a certain Water Cold game, and a certain GO game, where even a single top-tier piece of equipment costs tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, making it a game where even breathing costs money.

For a few thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, one can achieve a terrifying win rate that would absolutely scare any random player to death, causing them to quit the game and restart within three minutes. For this group, it's simply "too cheap".

But that's also why.

For a team with such a high winning percentage, even losing a single game is extremely painful!
Ye Bo hadn't yet realized something was wrong.

But within just three minutes, bad news kept coming from his teammates!
Because Ye Bo was using his mother's Gold account, the highest-ranked player among his teammates was even his father's Diamond IV, while the rest of his teammates were just Gold players.
This is equivalent to: one professional player carrying one Diamond player and three Gold players [VS] four Grandmaster/Challenger players carrying one Silver player!
It's foreseeable that there's no way anyone can win in a three-lane matchup!

The good news is that Ye Bo is one of the most carry-oriented junglers in this game, and he quickly used the enemy top laner as a breakthrough point to start a kill race.

The frequent synergy with my jungler teammates in the past has finally paid off.

Although Ye Bo is still not considered a proper jungler, he can still easily create a game-changing advantage in this kind of match!

"This Sylas switched lanes to top lane to target me, and you guys went to the jungle to farm this Blade of the Ruined King! You just stood by and watched me get ganked like this?"

The stone golem boss on the road was clearly a little unhappy.

These guys who were playing together had long realized that the enemy jungler, who was ostensibly ranked as Gold 3, was really suspicious. But the problem was that their several coordinated invasions not only failed, but the enemy also found a weakness in them!

So their original plan was to gradually expand their advantage on the sidelines, and then focus fire on and kill the Ruined King in a 5v5 head-on confrontation, which would be much easier.

But the game companions, worried about being complained about and having their pay docked, couldn't care less about that; they had no choice but to do as their boss said.

The four of them gathered together and charged straight into the jungle.

However, in Ye Bo's eyes, such an obvious move was almost like playing a game with X-ray vision, signaling his teammates to counter-gank in advance!
Silas came around from behind.

Seeing this, the four opponents quickly shouted for Malphite to Flash and R Blade of the Ruined King—this would not only allow them to engage on Blade of the Ruined King first, but more importantly, it would create distance between Malphite and Sylas, preventing Sylas from stealing the opponent's ultimate ability immediately!
However, Sylas's target was not the Stone Golem at all.

"Hit! Hit! Hit!" The boss, Stone Golem, teleported close and used his ultimate, successfully colliding with the Ruined King.

But the Ruined King simultaneously used [Pain Piercing the Heavens] to push out in the opposite direction!
The figure that was knocked away flickered in place, using the unstoppable effect of the pain piercing the heavens to cancel out the control!

Speaking of which, Ye Bo obtained level 7 proficiency with Blade of the Ruined King when he completed his first "Pentakill Achievement".
However, the Ruined King did not use his ultimate skill backwards.

Instead, the person in front jumped into the crowd!
"Dad used that to kill Jayce!"

Meanwhile, Sylas, who had rushed in ahead of time with E, stole Skarner's ultimate in mid-air, and then used Flash, ERWQ to unleash all his skills on Jayce!

The core combat force on the right is Jayce; if he is instantly killed, the subsequent damage will be insufficient.

But these four people weren't fools.

The support was able to protect him, and Skarner immediately countered by using his ultimate to control the incoming Blademaster.

How could Sylas alone kill a full-health Jayce instantly?
"what???"

"Holy crap, he's cheating!"

"What are you doing!?"

After Sylas cast [Crystal Sting], he was not restricted in the slightest and could still cast QWE and even normally, resulting in a one-sided beating of the opponent while standing still!
—More importantly, just as Jayce left the crystal, Sylas immediately used his second E skill!
Scorpion's E skill, Crystal Shatter, has the following passive effect: {Consuming a mark from this skill or using Crystal Sting will reduce the cooldown of this skill.}
Interestingly...

The moment Sylas steals and uses Skarner's ultimate, he will be "treated as Skarner," and his own E skill will also benefit from this effect!
Jayce was instantly killed by the Ruined King with a backhand slash.

Meanwhile, Blade of the Ruined King possessed Jayce, flashed to create space and counter-attacked, then used Refresher Orb to re-enter the fray, launching a counter-offensive against an opponent with no damage dealers!
"Eat Dad's Head!"

Seeing that Ye Bo deliberately gave the kill to Silas, the gaming companion's boss was furious.

"Damn, is Silas his dad?! Raising him like this?!"

"Are you guys even capable? If you all lose this matchmaking session, you can forget about getting paid today!"

There's a reason why I keep Silas.

Sylas's ultimate was so awesome this game! With Malphite's ultimate, as long as you target someone without Flash, the already terrifying burst damage is definitely ten times greater than Malphite himself!
Although teammates kept feeding, it became worthless after a while.

Ye Bo and Ye Xiong were practically fighting a 2v4 battle.

But they were forced to retreat one after another by their opponents!

In the final jungle chase, Blade of the Ruined King, with the help of Sylas, instantly killed Jayce, while the opponent still wanted to pursue.

"Pull it! Take turns using E!"

Ye Bo possesses the body and transforms into Jayce, and Sylas steals the ultimate ability and also transforms into Jayce.

Both of the "Jays" characters, neither of whom are actually Jays, pulled back simultaneously.

One person unleashed the [Gate of Acceleration] first, followed by two enhanced [Electric Energy Surge] attacks.

Then another person timed the moment and released the second acceleration gate, followed by two more enhanced versions of the Electric Energy Surge!
Then comes the third enhanced version of Electric Energy Surge!
The Ruined King has ten seconds to possess a body, and at the perfect moment, he fires three shots, for a total of six shots from the enhanced cannon!

Hextech cannon fire illuminated the entire Summoner's Rift sky.

The balance of power shifted instantly!

"Holy crap, what kind of teamwork is this! Like father, like son fighting together!?"

"This Ruined King is gold???"

"This really isn't right!?"

"Screw you guys, you're all bad! You can't even beat Gold 3 and you're here to be game companions! Go home and raise pigs!"

The opposing team of gamers has already started criticizing them.

Later on, driven by the game companion's boss, they even started hurling insults in the public chat.

When he can't beat someone physically, he resorts to verbal abuse, even going so far as to call the Ruined King a "booster" and a "script user," spewing out all sorts of vulgarities.

Ye Bo, on the other hand, was already used to the environment of the Chinese server.

Ye Xiong, on the other hand, couldn't stand it and started arguing with the other party in the public chat, asking why they were making false accusations.
Watching his usually calm and composed father interact with these people, Ye Bo felt a warmth in his heart.

However, their obviously outdated vocabulary and interactive logic meant they were no match for these guys from Zaun.

Ye Bo had no choice but to take action.

Silently typed "Your account is gone" to everyone, then took a picture of the ID in the chat window.
After the match ended, Ye Xiong was clearly still a little unsatisfied: "This hero is so rare. I never expected that his ultimate skill would have such a use. I've learned something new."

"Hmm, but this scorpion will probably be reworked soon, so let's play with it while we can~"

"Really? I don't think I saw this news."

"Hey, who's your son? You got inside information?" Ye Bo couldn't help but act a little childish in front of his family, puffing out his sleeve: "I'm really close to the designer~~~"

"I know, I'm also practicing with that new hero you helped design."

The two then engaged in several more chaotic battles.

Although they didn't talk much, it was more like they were simply playing a game.

But the unspoken understanding between men never needs to be spoken.

It was undoubtedly a happy night for both of them.

The Asian Games journey continued the following day.

The entire WE team representing CN performed exceptionally well, defeating both the Taiwan team and the KR team in succession.

Among them, the KR representative team, which fielded the entire LSB team, suffered a record that was even worse than that of the Taiwanese representative team, and they couldn't even get a single win against the Chinese representative team!
They were eliminated 2-0!

Of course, this is actually a normal situation—after all, WE ranked tenth in the Spring Split, which is already among the top teams in the LPL's eighteen teams, and just enough to qualify for the LPL playoffs.

In contrast, LSB is third from the bottom in the LCK and will not make it to the LCK playoffs.

The reason LSB was chosen was not only because they happened to be the only ones with time, but also because they almost beat T1, giving the LCK officials the illusion that their strength might be quite good.

The CN team won the Asian Games Journey series championship, which also gave them a significant advantage in the main tournament draw.

This news, when it reached South Korea, shocked many people.

Meanwhile, an even bigger piece of news broke.
