LPL History

Chapter 306 Zhou Lang cleverly employs a white lotus scheme, and Consort You's pity wins people's hearts.
"Is it really?"

Imp looked at Zhou Li with suspicion in his eyes.

He stood in front of Zhou Li, clearly indicating that he wouldn't let Zhou Li off the hook unless Zhou Li gave him a reasonable explanation.

imp is very sad and heartbroken right now.

After seeing Zhou Li and Daipute play duo queue all night, imp felt like his heart was breaking.

Moreover, Zhou Li even played support all night long for Daipute.

This is treatment even he doesn't receive! How can Imp not break down?!
That damn Depute, he stole his Mata first, and now he's trying to steal his Zhouli!
Is this despicable man really going to take everything away from him with his own hands?

Even though he was so heartbroken, Zhou Li remained completely unmoved.

What imp didn't know was that Zhou Li's vision was filled with a golden light!
He couldn't suppress the historical records anymore; they've been unlocked!
So Zhou Li could only glance at it quickly.

[Mei Kou is from Lingnan. In his youth, he played support for RAY, but his reputation was not yet established. When Korean import Depte joined EDG, he disliked the original support player Mouse and privately recommended Mei Kou. Mei Kou was thus promoted from the secondary league to become their designated support, receiving preferential treatment from Abu. When asked why, Abu said, "The bot lane support is crucial to Depte; he cannot be underestimated."]

[Mei Kou presents herself as innocent and naive, like a white lotus emerging from the mud, yet in battle she remains unscathed, and in defeat she blames others. Furthermore, she leverages the influence of Korean players to consolidate her power and pursue personal gain. Alas! A lotus exterior concealing a treacherous heart—this is why the chosen one stands alone at EDG.]

However, a new talent emerged. Zhou Li and Mr. Dai teamed up, and Zhou Li was greatly favored. Mei Kou noticed this and became uneasy, harboring resentment. Zhou Li then used sweet words to dispel the misunderstanding, saying to Mr. Dai: "Brother He Kui, don't be angry, it's all my fault... But Mei Kou is only your teammate, why would I need his permission to team up?" He also whispered: "If he's angry, go and comfort him quickly! Don't let me cause a rift." Mei Kou was no longer the sole recipient of favor, and her position in the team became precarious.

You silenced the hypocrite, preventing her from abusing her power, and rescued the EDG team from dire straits, sparing her from taking the blame—your merit is immeasurable, your good deed is beyond compare!

[Key character (Meiko) unlocked, ability gained: White Lotus.]

[White Lotus: When you feign weakness, you become even more endearing.]

[Hero: Karma's proficiency has reached the perfect level.]

Upon seeing Bai Lianhua's abilities, Zhou Li completely lost his composure! Is this even possible?!

Why does a grown man like him need to be pitied?!
"Speak up, Zhou Li!"

The sound of "imp" brought Zhou Li back to reality.

The Zhou rites deliberately feigned weakness.

"Don't you know me? I've always thought Deft is less than a hair on your leg. This night supporting him was the most painful night of my life. I've discovered his biggest weakness, but I never expected you to make such a judgment about me."

The giant soldier paused, looking at Zhou Li's expression, when a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

How dare he question Zhou Li, such a pure and kind person! He deserves to die!
"Sorry, it's my problem."

Zhou Li sighed.

"Come on, let me treat you to a drink, we can talk while we drink."

after an hour.

"Zhou Li! Ni is my Colossus, my best brother!"

Imp was completely drunk, and half of him was hanging on Zhou Li's body.

"Zhou Li, let's become sworn brothers! From now on, we'll be blood brothers!"

Seeing Imp completely drunk, Zhou Li pushed him aside.

He felt that Imp was a pure child whose life consisted only of games and alcohol, and nothing else.

They don't even have a brain.

He's the type of person who could be tricked into going to Myanmar to commit fraud with just one phone call.

In fact, Zhou Li didn't say anything to Imp at all. After all, that night with Mr. Dai, he was preoccupied with making tea and had no time to watch what others were doing.

So Zhou Li just gave a perfunctory reply based on what he had learned online, saying things like "Deft has a bad mentality" and "Deft's aggressive team fights give him opportunities."

As a result, the more Imp heard Zhou Li's words, the more excited and moved he became.

After all, as far as Imp is concerned, he loves to hear you say bad things about Deft.

"Deft missed five minions in one wave."

"Hahahaha!"

The tavern owner slumped in front of the counter, rolled his eyes at the only two customers in the shop.

Although their pub is open 24 hours.

But who would be so kind as to come drinking at six in the morning and get completely drunk?
Two lunatics.

Zhou Li picked up his phone and glanced at the time; it was almost eight in the morning.

He poured Imp another glass of wine, shoved it into Imp's mouth, and forced it down his throat.

As it turns out, this kid started swaying an hour ago and he's still swaying now, just like his mother, a roly-poly toy that just won't get drunk!
Zhou Li frowned impatiently, glanced at the messages on his phone. He had an appointment later and couldn't waste any more time with imp.

"Giant Soldier, you're drunk. I'll call you a taxi and take you home."

Zhou Li stood up, but Imp clung to him like a lump of mud.

"I'm not drunk! I can still drink! Don't you want to be my brother anymore? Drink another hundred cups!"

Zhou Li sighed.

This guy's drinking manners are absolutely terrible. Once he starts drinking, he just keeps going on and on, and he likes to rub against other people.

He could sense that the boss's gaze towards him had changed.

Zhou Li smiled, helped Imp up, and said:

"Come on, take a deep breath."

imp hesitated for a moment, but still did as instructed.

"Whoo~"

"boom!"

Zhou Li pressed Imp's head down and slammed it onto the table.

"Honey, feeling dizzy is normal."
-
"You came."

"I am coming."

"you are late."

I bought you a gift on the way, so I'm late.

Abu's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that this kid was indeed quick-witted, and he said:

"what gift?"

Zhou Li placed the bag on the table.

"Kidney-tonifying tablets, good for him and good for you."

Abu's face darkened:
"What do you mean?"

“Coach Abu, you’re being too sensitive,” Zhou Li said sincerely as he sat down. “I take it myself regularly. For people like us who sit for long periods of time, it can relieve back pain and other aches and pains.”

Hearing Zhou Li's explanation, Abu's expression softened slightly. He crossed his legs and asked, feigning ignorance:
"Are you looking for me?"

Zhou Li smiled and said, "Of course I came here specifically to thank you."

Zhou Li thought and thought, but he still couldn't figure out why EDG's team voice chat had been leaked. But the only person who could have done that was Abu.

Abu raised his eyebrows.

He realized he hadn't misjudged the man; this kid, if properly trained, would definitely be the best lackey.

He did intentionally leak EDG's team voice chat.

This doesn't seem to be good for EDG; Abu appears to have no motive for committing the crime.

But just because it's not good for EDG doesn't mean it's not good for Abu!
Abu did this not to help Zhou Li, whom he had only met once.

The current mainstream public opinion has shifted from a major battle between the fans of EDG and LGD to a major battle within the EDG fan community.

For any club, internal strife between players' fans is something they obviously don't want to see. But for Abramovich, this is exactly what he wants to see.

What is the current situation?
She's a female fan of Koro1, and she was the one who made sarcastic and sarcastic remarks about Koro1 during the match.

They even went to EDG's official Weibo account and joined in the criticism, demanding that EDG fire Meiko.

So, did Abu's goal really be to fire Meiko? Obviously not!
Koro1's female fans are now attacking anyone from EDG, accusing the higher-ups of inaction and suppressing Koro1, claiming that a newcomer like Koro1 dares to be so sarcastic towards Koro1 because the Korean players are interfering, and that Clearlove never helps the top laner or isolates them during matches...

Such outrageous remarks are constantly pushing the boundaries of what netizens can say.

EDG's fans naturally couldn't stand the chaos caused by these female fans, so an internal purge was launched in a grand manner!
As the saying goes, idols pay the price for their fans' actions!

The mindless actions of these crazy female fans will eventually be blamed on Kou Rou!

Once the conflict escalates further, Abu can then naturally support his protégé Mouse to take over, while also suppressing the Korean players behind Meiko, since these two Korean players have never shown much respect to him as their coach. It's a win-win situation.

However, Abu clearly didn't want to share too much of his ingenious plan with Zhou Li, so he denied it:

"I didn't do anything, what is there for you to thank me for?"

Zhou Li, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to directly reveal the despicable things Abu had done, but simply said:

"Here's the thing, Coach Abu, you know I've always admired EDG, so I have some big news to share with you..."

Abu paused for a moment, then took the phone Zhou Li handed him.

The above is a video.

He squinted and examined it carefully, then asked in confusion:
"Taobao rights?"
-
Zhou Li got up and walked out of the private room, then turned around and went into the next private room.

"Sorry, I was stuck in traffic and I'm late."

Xiao You had a slightly reserved smile on her face.

"It's okay, I just arrived not long ago."

Zhou Li pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Xiao You sitting opposite him, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhou Li was never a fickle person.

Throughout his life, he had only had Consort Xian and Consort Jing by his side.

But this time, he was really tired.

Season 5 was a truly hellish start, with internal and external troubles keeping him in a state of high tension at all times.

The only colossus that intersects very closely is a bit too close together.

There's a saying that goes, "Women are a man's gas station."

He wants to work harder.

"I'm really sorry about the last interview; it affected you as well."

"It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."

"By the way, will you still be hosting our match against VG tomorrow?"

Hearing Zhou Li's words, Xiao You had a bad feeling.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be me."

Zhou Li laughed: "Let's conduct the interview now, just in case something unexpected happens later."

Zhou Li's words startled Xiao You.

"Are you going to interview me right now?!"

She wanted to say that she was in charge of interviewing the winners' group, and wondered why Zhou Li was so confident, going straight to the point that he was sure to win tomorrow's match.

However, when it comes to tomorrow's match, Xiaoyou thought of something.

Have you seen any news about yourself online today?

“I didn’t watch it,” Zhou Li shook his head and sighed. “Everyone is criticizing me now. I didn’t want to either, and I didn’t dare to watch it at all.”

Looking at Zhou Li, who seemed about to shatter, Xiao You had only one thought in her mind.

He's so pitiful, I really want to hold his head in my arms and comfort him.

But Xiaoyou quickly came to her senses and was deeply shocked by the absurd idea she had just had.

Why did her brain become like this?!
Zhou Li seemed oblivious to Xiao You's unusual behavior and spoke up first:

"You brought this up on your own initiative. What did they say about it?"

At this point, Xiaoyou dared not mention Mata's online attacks on Zhou Li. She quickly shook her head, afraid of further upsetting this poor child who had developed mental problems due to long-term bullying but was essentially a very simple, kind, and humble person.

But Zhou Li clearly didn't believe Xiao You's words and had already picked up his phone to look at it.

"Hey! Stop looking and hurry up and eat."

"Was it Mata? I saw it, he insulted me."

"..."

The boy sitting opposite him seemed to have shattered again.

Xiao You wanted to slap herself; she really knew how to bring up the most sensitive topic.

"Don't take it too hard. The competition is tomorrow anyway. As long as you win..."

"What if I lose..."

"It's okay. Even if we lose, it's just a difference in the bottom lane. What does it have to do with your top lane, right?"

"But I want to be interviewed by you."

Zhou Li sighed dejectedly, his eyes vacant, and murmured:

“I know Mata looks down on me, back when I was still a Samsung Blue…”

Zhou Li began to slowly recount his tragic life story when he was a substitute at Samsung Blue.

His voice trembled, as if he was trying hard to suppress and hide his pain beneath a calm tone.

The night is already deep.

When Xiaoyou walked out of the private room, her eyes were still red.

She held Zhou Li's hand tightly, her eyes resolute.

"Keep going, you can definitely do it tomorrow!"

Watching Xiao You get into the car and leave, Zhou Li couldn't help but sigh.

"Compared to Consort Xian and Consort Jing, Consort You's hands seem to be stronger."

"What a wonderful and fulfilling day."

He picked up his phone and watched another clip of Mata's live stream; the image of that frail young man vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Idiot Mata, looks like he still needs a lesson!"

For Zhou Li, the last time he educated Mata was only a short time ago.

However, winning the championship definitely makes a difference; Mata's appearance has changed quite a bit.

Zhou Li waved and hailed a taxi, heading towards the club.

Although VG's current performance isn't great, Zhou Li knows they absolutely cannot be underestimated.

After all, judging from the strength on paper, who are the two Korean players that VG has?
Mata and Dandy were the key contributors to Samsung White's victory!

It was this synergy between the jungler and support that led Samsung White to its highest peak.

Now that these two have joined forces with VG, their strength should not be underestimated.
