LPL History

Chapter 320 A Shockwave Shakes the Sky, Ushering in a New Era; Internal Strife Within the Galaxy Ship Hides a Potential Threat to Capsize the Giant Ship

During this period, Wu Zhuangtai had a very good relationship with Zhou Li.

From Wuzhuang's perspective, prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain.

In most people's eyes, Zhou Li always seemed to be very arrogant, rude and somewhat crazy.

However, in Wuzhuang's view, it was only after getting to know him that one could understand that it was a carefree and unrestrained spirit that had seen through the illusions of the world.

The reason he was able to maintain such a good relationship with Zhou Li was because, in Wu Zhuang's view, Zhou Li was probably the only person in the world who understood him.

As the former top mid-laner in the LPL and a core player of OMG, his status suddenly plummeted to obscurity with the addition of UZI this year.

When they win, it's all thanks to Uzi; when they lose, they blame him. It's one thing for fans to criticize him every day, but even the coaching staff keeps giving Uzi preferential treatment, depriving him of their own resources. And then they think he's in poor form and can't perform as well as before. It's like they're using him like a dairy cow, feeding him grass but giving him milk.

He kept these words to himself and never told anyone, not even Lingyao's girlfriend, because he felt that few people would understand his current situation.

Until he met Zhou Li.

Initially, due to the public's perception of Zhou Li, Wu Zhuangtai was somewhat hesitant to approach it.

But with each of Zhou Li's words striking a chord with him, Wu Zhou knew—

It is rare to find a true friend in life. He and Zhou Li were like Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi, finding a kindred spirit amidst high mountains and flowing water.

The two developed a very close relationship, and Wu Zhuang even discovered that since he started duo-queuing with Zhou Li, he hadn't lost a single game.

This was much easier and more enjoyable than when he played for OMG.

From that moment on, he was completely captivated.

Like Mr. Dai, who is far away in EDG, he has been infected with a poison called Zhou Li.

Wu Zhuangtai felt that he and Zhou Li had an amazing understanding of each other.

Just like now, when he saw Zhou Li's account was online, he immediately sent him a "1".

Zhou Li also sent him a 1 at the same time.

[Double queue?]

Wudang extended a polite invitation.

"No, it's too late. I just came up to take a look."

Seeing Zhou Li's reply, Wu Zhuangtai showed no dissatisfaction. In fact, he had been playing ranked games all night and was quite tired. He had invited Zhou Li to duo queue simply because he assumed the other person wanted to duo queue as well.

Your team is really strong lately, on a winning streak.

Wutai sent a casual chat message with a hint of envy.

[Are you doing alright? It seems like things haven't been going well for you guys lately?]

Since losing to LGD, OMG's momentum as a super team seems to have completely dissipated. They have suffered repeated defeats in subsequent matches. Although they are still in the top five of the standings, this performance is clearly far from what they expected for their roster.

As the number of losses increased, internal conflicts within the team also began to grow.

Just this afternoon during a training match, Cool and UZI had just exchanged pleasantries about each other's parents and even ancestors.

Sigh, I'm tired.

He typed two words in a daze, but then, thinking about the argument that afternoon, he became dissatisfied again.

So he started typing furiously.

[World's number one braggart? Teammates are key.] (*)

It took a long time for WuDang to receive a reply from ZhouLi after sending the message.

Hey bro, I'm live streaming.

LGD players' bench.

Upon seeing the message from Wuzhuangtai, Zhou Li couldn't help but curl up a pig-like smile.

At this moment, his live stream chat room was in complete uproar.

[World's number one dick? Who are they talking about?]

OMG, who else is number one in the world?!

[Holy crap, that's 666, insulting your teammates like that.]

Hahaha, this is hilarious! I feel like something big is about to happen.

[This is set to be tomorrow's top story in the league.]

Most of the viewers in Zhou Li's live stream were casual observers, so their reactions weren't that intense; they were simply eager to watch the drama unfold.

However, Zhou Li knew that once this chat log was leaked, it would definitely cause a bloodbath throughout the LPL.

Zhou Li coughed and began to explain:

"Brothers, I don't think Wu-zhuangtai meant that. What he meant... well, let's just say it's not what you think. He actually meant the shockwave. Have you ever played Jayce, brothers? That shockwave is incredibly powerful! It's a compliment!"

Upon hearing Zhou Li's explanation, the viewers in the live stream completely lost their composure.

[Holy crap, what the hell is this shockwave?]

Hahaha, that's hilarious! You can even explain it like that?!

[Shockwave!!]

Tell me, who is the world's first shockwave?!

At this moment, Zhou Li was finally thrilled to discover that his historical records had finally been turned over!
He ignored the excited netizens and immediately started reading the Records of the Grand Historian.

Soon, Zhou Li discovered that the golden light from unlocking the Records of the Grand Historian this time was many times more dazzling than it would be under normal circumstances!
"Could it be that the main storyline has been unlocked?!"

Zhou Li was shocked and immediately continued reading.

Sima Qian said: The essence of science lies in thoroughly investigating principles. The study of shock waves began from humble beginnings and was perfected by a group of wise men. Cool and Li, by combining firmness and gentleness, ultimately established an irrefutable theory, and their contribution is immeasurable.

Cool Fermat, a scholar and esports prodigy, first observed the fluctuations in the heat value of shock waves in 1955 and thus determined the shock wave constant. At that time, Li Einstein, a scholar, followed suit, perfecting the Bo5 format and, in a regular season match, elucidating the second law of heat value calorimetry. Subsequently, Cool Fermat established the "Shock Wave (CJB) Conjecture," stating that the law of red-temperature calorimetry could be deduced, a foundation upon which later generations relied.

Li, a scholar of Einstein, was also a master of cosmology. In the same year, he deeply studied the shock wave hypothesis and explained its effects. He then tested the "EZ relativity" and the "ash relativity," obtaining the anti-mass-energy equation [izu=bjc], proving the "shock wave conjecture" to be true. The general explanation is "no flashover," and the mystery of the universe is suddenly revealed.

Grand Historian's Commentary:

Fermat and Einstein, one laying the foundation, the other proving the truth. Fermat, with his lightning-fast creativity, and Einstein, with his divine analytical skills, combined their expertise in the study of shockwaves, making it a cornerstone of scientific advancement. As Newton famously said, "We walk on the shoulders of giants," and observing the achievements of these two, is it not a testament to their combined strength and flexibility, transforming the abstract into the concrete? Therefore, it is said: the achievement of reason lies in concerted effort; the accomplishment of merit lies in its immeasurable scale.

[You have successfully unlocked this character (without status) and gained the ability: Shockwave.]

[Shockwave: Research and understand shockwaves. You can accumulate energy each game to create a shockwave. Using a shockwave will grant you a five-second power boost. It stores 10% of its energy every ten minutes, up to a maximum of 50%.]

[Hero: Future Guardian Proficiency reached max level.]

Seeing the power of the shockwave, Zhou Li finally smiled with relief.

This time, the unlocked abilities and heroes in the historical records are no longer being pushed into a blue-collar role as before.

Although Zhou Li has now given up his place to Acorn and doesn't even have a chance to play, even if he does play, he prefers to just coast along.

He can do without it, but he can't live without it.

Moreover, Zhou Li actually thought it was quite reasonable that the state of nothingness was the basis of the annals.

While Cool's professional career may not have made any significant contributions to the league, his single phrase, "Shockwave," has remained a timeless classic. Just how valuable is this phrase?
Not only has it been passed down through generations and endured the test of time, but it has also achieved a breakthrough beyond its original niche. In terms of influence and sustainability, not to mention within the League of Legends community, even within the entire esports community, the level of impact of Shockwave is worthy of a Nobel Prize.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Wu Zhuang finally came to his senses.

Are you live streaming?

It's already closed.

Why didn't you say so sooner?

I never imagined my best friend would talk badly about others behind their backs.

Upon seeing Zhou Li's message, Wu Zhuangtai froze on the spot.

What started as anger at being drawn into a major controversy during the other person's live stream has turned into guilt for letting down a friend's expectations.

[Maybe our values ​​are different. You said those things in my livestream, and now everyone in the chat is criticizing me. I'll take the blame for you, but let's leave it at that.]

As Wu Zhuangtai pressed Zhou Li's profile picture, he felt so heartbroken he could hardly breathe.

He deserves to die! He actually dragged his Zhong Ziqi into this mess!
-
Just as Zhou Li had predicted, the shockwave theory quickly began to circulate on the internet.

Amidst the instigation of netizens and the angry denunciations from UZI's fans, the entire internet descended into chaos.

OMG's galactic battleship looks like it's about to collapse.

But Zhou Li knew that one more fire was needed before this galactic warship was finally extinguished!

He already knew where the fire was.

At this time, OMG eSports Club.

With Wutai's chat logs being exposed, the atmosphere in the club became exceptionally awkward.

UZI and Wuzhuangtai have completely stopped speaking to each other.

The others weren't in much better shape either.

Gogoing has been benched for a while now.

He just wanted to rest and adjust his condition.

In the eldest brother's opinion, once he says he's ready, his brothers will immediately welcome him back.

Just like when Cool returned from injury, the elder brother immediately asked the club to let Cool return to the starting lineup.

What the older brother didn't know was that OMG at this point was no longer the OMG of the past.

If he retires and takes a break, no one will be willing to wait for him anymore.

The assistant, Luo, has completely lost all ambition.

UZI has never been satisfied with his support player, and because the two often have disagreements and arguments, it is said that the club is already looking for a new support player at UZI's request.

Once he knew he would eventually be replaced, Luo began to completely give up.

Right now, in the entire OMG club, the one with the best mentality is probably Lingyao.

Just recently, he started dating a young model from Taiwan named Xu Ke.

This Taiwanese model is beautiful, has a sweet voice, and a great figure. She seduced Lingyao so much that he couldn't stop thinking about Xu Ke's slender waist and long legs every day.

What he didn't know was that the photos Xu Ke sent him had also been sent to Wu Zhuangtai.

Wu Zhuangtai got up to pour himself a glass of water and immediately spotted Lingyao and Xu Ke chatting happily.

After losing the Zhou rites, Wuzhuang has clearly awakened.

He realized how terrible his previous chatting and confiding with Lingyao's girlfriend had been, and thus saw through how wicked that woman truly was.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Zhuang finally couldn't resist walking over to the spirit herb and saying:

"Lingyao, to be honest, I'm not very good at having a girlfriend like you."

Wu Zhoutai's blunt statement made Lingyao, who had been excitedly typing away, instantly stop what he was doing.

He frowned, turned his head, and asked:
"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything by it, it's just that his character isn't very good. I'm telling you the truth. I consider you a brother, and I'm saying this for your own good. Break up with him before you get too involved."

With each word Wuzhuang spoke, Lingyao's brows furrowed even deeper.

His girlfriend is gentle and kind, not at all like the person Wu Tai-zhuang described!
Only Lingyao in the entire OMG is so lucky to have such a young model girlfriend.

When he has nothing to do, Lingyao will sometimes show off his girlfriend to Wuzhuangtai.

Unexpectedly, Wu-tai-zhou started badmouthing his girlfriend.

Lingyao naturally couldn't believe Wuzhuangtai's words. In fact, he thought Wuzhuangtai was just envious and jealous of him for finding a Taiwanese model.

He patiently asked:
"You say she has a bad character? Tell me what's wrong with her."

Hearing the anger clearly in Lingyao's tone, Wuzhuang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.

He can't exactly tell Lingyao that his girlfriend is dating him while also flirting with him every day, can he?
If Lingyao finds out about this, how will the two of them get along in the future?

"Anyway, it's not very good. I'm not lying to you. Believe it or not."

After finishing his statement, Wu Zhuangtai immediately chose to leave.

Watching Wuzhuang leave, Lingyao cursed him as an idiot in his heart. In his eyes, his girlfriend was the epitome of perfection, and he would definitely defend her if anyone dared to slander him.

This is what a real man should do.

After thinking about it, Lingyao changed his QQ signature to "My woman is under my protection."

The older brother, who was watching Lingyao's actions, wanted to open his mouth but then closed it again.

He also knew that Lingyao's girlfriend, a woman named Xu Ke, had a very bad reputation online. She was always getting into fights and arguments with people, and had even cheated her fans out of money.

However, Lingyao is now clearly caught up in it; in Lingyao's eyes, everything Xu Ke does is right.

[Beep beep beep.]

The penguin icon in the bottom right corner of the desktop started flashing again.

Lingyao opened the message and saw sweet words from Xu Ke.

Honey, where have you been? You haven't replied to my messages for so long.

Without a second thought, Lingyao told Xu Ke what Wuzhuang had just told him.

What Xu Ke got in return was a brief probing and, after learning that Wu Zhuangtai hadn't revealed anything about the two of them, he became furious.

[I'm so angry! How could this person be like this? You considered him your best brother, and I didn't even do anything to him!]

I had something good to share with you, but I think I'll pass now, otherwise your teammates will start talking badly about you.

Seeing that Xu Ke was throwing such a tantrum, Lingyao quickly comforted her.

It's okay, what's the point of what they say? Just say it.

Actually, it's like this: I want to start an investment fund with you.
