LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 205 Lao K: How about I go cosplay as Xie Jian?
The off-season is not only in full swing in the LPL, but also in the LCK.

Various marketing accounts have also started publishing all sorts of esports news.

"A mysterious high-ranking player on the Chinese server has dominated the top lane of the Rift, killing numerous top streamers? Who exactly is the 'Flower of Huangni Village'?"

"The end of T1's ratmen? A youth academy player promoted to the first team! Welcome the God King!"

"Could TES acquire the championship-winning support player? A new season's super team is taking off!?"

"Where is Flandre going? Choose one from EDG, RNG, or LGD!"

"Gnik confirmed to renew contract? Is the LGD dynasty about to begin?"

"Transfer window stalled? Is everyone waiting for Gnik to make his selections?"

These comments also brought the transfer window's hype to its peak.

"No, I can understand letting Mark go, but we really can't let Flandre go, can we?"

"If LGD can't retain Chicken Bro, they might have to disband!"

"But Mark seems to be the biggest name support player during the transfer window. Could TES really sign him?"

"Just wait! Our TES will be truly complete next year!"

"So, who exactly is the most beautiful girl in Huangni Village? These past few days, I've seen various streamers being swayed by this ID's 'Veil on the Road'!"

Despite several days of rumors, LGD has not yet officially announced Di Wu's arrival.

However, a message was posted on Thursday.
"Comment 'chicken chicken chicken' on Weibo and we'll be giving away 100 KFC Crazy Thursday v50 vouchers!!"

???

LGD's official Weibo account exploded instantly, and the super topic was filled with questions.

"Took it?"

"One hundred crazy Thursdays?! Are you trying to kill Chicken Bro?"

"Brother Chicken, you get it? LGD's message is, if you don't renew your contract, I'll get KFC to mess with you!"

"Hahaha, if that's the case, it feels like Flandre is coming back too!"

"If LGD wins the championship in Shanghai, as an LGD fan, can I call myself 'Shanghai Master'?"

"Why can't the five optimistic players who won the championship with LGD reunite next season? Because...the five players aren't good enough! Brothers, let's go for Mark!"

Once Di Wuyi finalized his team, all the other teams had no choice but to rethink their strategies.

Blue Lotus stared in disbelief at LGD's official Weibo account.
No, in what way is Peanut better than Kanavi?

Why wouldn't they come to JDG?! The dream mid-jungle duo of Kanavi and Gnik, once considered the perfect match by Blue Lotus, is now shattered!

Furthermore, Di Wu's choice will also affect all free agents during the off-season.

I thought EDG would be the biggest rival for Gnik during this offseason, but I heard they've already signed GRF's ADC, Viper!

And then there's EDG, a traditional powerhouse with a long-standing roster, which is unexpected.
Did Di Wu choose to stay with LGD instead of EDG or JDG?
This almost definitive news has caused quite a stir during the LPL transfer period.

After finalizing his contract renewal, Di Wu rested for several days by doing live streams at home.

After the All-Star voting ended, Di Wu was confirmed as this year's top vote-getter.

He packed his bags at home, preparing to head to Shanghai for the All-Star game, and then probably go straight back to LGD's base.

The schedule was rather rushed.

"Is the cured meat behind the streamer for sale? No! It's homemade cured meat; my mom can't make that much by herself!"

Di Wu looked back at the cured meat and sausages drying on the balcony. His mother had been busy these past few days preparing some local specialties for him to take back to the base.

"Hey, it's homemade, you guys can't have any!"

"Did they really renew their contract? Yes, they did! And it's still with LGD!"

There's no need for Di Wu to hide it anymore; LGD's official Weibo account has already made it so obvious.

He himself successfully changed the timeline, and LGD has already made contact with Keria in the past few days.

Furthermore, Keria himself really wanted to join LGD, and he wasn't the only player who wanted to join LGD; even top laner Khan was among them.
Di Wu, on the other hand, pointed him in the right direction!
FPX successfully poached Nuguri from DWG, so DWG now needs an older, experienced top laner who can hold his own in the top lane.

Khan has become DWG's first choice!
As for Keria, his biggest worry is the language barrier. I heard he's already at the LGD base these past few days.

I'll get used to the environment beforehand; I should be able to meet Keria when I go back to play in the All-Star game.

I also chatted with Lao Gun during the All-Star game.

"Brothers, that's it for today's broadcast. We won't be broadcasting tomorrow. Tomorrow we're going back to Shanghai for the All-Star game, and then we should be heading back to the base!"

Di Wu briefly explained his upcoming schedule.
"Are we going to play in the Demacia Cup? Hmm?"

Di Wu paused for a moment when he heard about the Demacia Cup. The Demacia Cup seemed like something worth trying, right?

"I'll probably play in the Demacia Cup, because LGD might make some roster changes, and I'll be playing with my teammates in the Demacia Cup!"

He couldn't help but think of Keria, who would be joining the team this year. Once Keria finalized his contract, Keira would definitely play in the Demacia Cup.

Nothing builds teamwork better than playing in a match. "And who knows when the next stream will be, guys! Wait until I get back to the base and settle in?"

The screen was now filled with question marks.

"No! Don't go! No, please!!"

"You want to be happy? You absolutely must be happy, Lao Ji!"

"If you're leaving, why did you even start the live stream in the first place? How am I supposed to survive without the most beautiful girl in Huangni Village?"

"Mud flowers! Mud flowers!!"

Despite a barrage of messages pleading for him to stay, Di Wu resolutely ended the live stream.

The next morning, Di's mother handed Di Wu a large bag of things.
"Xiao Wu! Don't eat this cured meat all by yourself. Share some with your teammates or something. If it's not enough, Mom can make more and send it to you! Although Mom always tells you not to spend money recklessly, take good care of yourself when you're out there and don't neglect your health!"

Di Wu was deeply moved as he looked at his parents carrying large and small bags of gifts for him.
"I'll take good care of myself, don't worry!"

Di's mother also took out a bank card from her pocket and gave it to Di Wu: "Little Wu! I haven't spent a single penny of the money you sent back before. You can use it for yourself! The password is your birthday. Your dad is going to go out to drive cars soon. I won't need much money since I'm home alone. Your new computer is enough for me to play with!"

Di Wu stared blankly at the card in his mother's hand.
He didn't say much, pushed his mother's hand back, and gave her a confident smile: "Don't worry, Mom! Your son is quite wealthy now! Spend it as you please, I'll transfer you more if you need more! Dad is getting old, let him rest at home. I'll buy you a computer later, so you can play duo games!"

Hearing Di Wu's words, tears welled up in Di's mother's eyes. Her child had really grown up.

Now he has truly become the pillar of this family!

But when she heard that she could duo queue with Di's father, she shook her head repeatedly with tears in her eyes: "No way, I don't want to duo queue with your dad! He's a noob!"

"cough cough"

Has Dad reached the point where even Mom dislikes him for duo queuing?
"Then I'm off! I'll miss my train if I don't leave now!" Di Wu glanced at the time and waved to his mother.

I love you, Mom!

Di Wu strode out of the somewhat old-fashioned neighborhood with firm steps, a gentle breeze blowing by.

His journey has only just begun, and the path to forging a legend is destined to be difficult.

The next day, in the city center of Shanghai!
The All-Star event is already ready, and this year's All-Star event is definitely going to be a star-studded affair for the LPL.

In the top lane, Flandre, the domestic champion top laner, defeated TheShy for the first time and was selected as the starting top laner. In the jungle, Peanut defeated Karsa. In the bottom lane, the older brother was selected as the starting top laner, paired with Meiko in the support position.

The LPL All-Star lineup this year can be described as a dream team.

When Di Wu saw her brother backstage, her brother's eyes widened in surprise.
He didn't pay much attention to League of Legends during the off-season, since he was already locked in with TES.

All he knew was that Di Wu was quite sought after during the offseason, and that's when he saw Di Wu's short hair.
"Holy crap? Edison Chen? Bro! Don't be so handsome!"

The older brother patted his head, thankfully he had lost weight during the off-season, otherwise he would have been crushed by Di Wu when he went on stage.

"Don't mess with me, Brother Shui!"

Meiko walked over and looked at Di Wu with a smile, tinged with regret.
According to Mingkai, EDG has been pursuing Gnik relentlessly this year, and even with Scout, they are still trying to acquire Diwu.

However, LGD's Weibo post clearly indicates that Di Wu has officially renewed his contract!
What a pity!
"Hey Chicken Bro, what's going on? You're way too handsome! A buzz cut is the real deal when it's handsome!"

When Flandre and Peanut arrived and saw Di Wu, they were also taken aback. Both of them were the type who had video-called Di Wu.

But I was still amazed when I actually saw her.
That's just too cool, isn't it?

"What's going on with this year's All-Star game? Faker on the other side?" Lao Qiang looked at Di Wu with a smile.

This year's LCK All-Star team is also crazy, with top laner Uzi, jungler Canyon, mid laner Faker, and bot lane duo Deft and Beryl!

Xu Xiu's popularity in the LCK is definitely not as high as Faker's, so it's a pity he wasn't selected for the All-Star event.

At that moment, a small figure entered the dressing room.
Lau K, dressed impeccably, originally wanted to show off his top-notch style to Di Wu.
I was stunned when I saw Di Wu's neat buzz cut.
"Holy crap? Don't be so damn handsome! It's so annoying!" Lao K's lips twitched slightly.

Seeing how handsome Di Wu is, it's more painful than killing yourself!
You look good with your white hair, that's one thing, but you've styled yourself. You look so good even without any styling, what am I supposed to do?
Why don't I just cosplay as Jaken?
"Hahahaha! Lao K, you're in the All-Star event too? The King of Solo Queue?" Di Wu suddenly remembered that in addition to the clash between LPL and LCK professional players, the official tournament also included a showdown between the so-called Kings of Solo Queue!
It involves popular streamers from different regions forming teams to compete against each other.

"What's going on? Chicken Bro, what are you doing? You've come here to annihilate us with that face?" A man with a profile resembling Hu Ge walked into the dressing room, looking at Di Wu in astonishment.
Is this what a featherless chicken looks like? It's truly top-notch!
"Laotai? You're at the All-Star Game too?" Di Wu blinked. He hadn't paid much attention to the All-Star Game before, so why was Zita here?

Of course, there's something to say about Lao K retiring last year, but isn't Zz1tai a streamer? Wait, isn't he also a streamer who retired last year?

It also left behind the long-standing legend of Ryze fighting vampires!
Alright, alright, the three new dogs who did a live stream together before are all here now!

"I'm from a legendary LPL team! I'll definitely be in the All-Star game!"

???

Di Wu was taken aback.
"Where is the legend?"

Whether he was stunned by Huni or knocked unconscious by TheShy, he couldn't possibly be eating tangerines under the tower, could he?

"I...I used to be a child prodigy too, are you kidding me?" Lao Tai's face flushed slightly. "If it weren't for..."

"An older sister who is ten years older?"

"That's a pity!"
