LOL: Reborn in Season 3, Taming Lee Sang-hyeok

As you walk through the school gate, which is made of red bricks and metal iron, all you can hear are the sounds of Korean high school boys and girls laughing and playing around.

High school is full of the flavor of youth.

Li Zhixing simply didn't have time to pay attention to these things and hurried past.

After walking into the classroom and sitting down at his own desk, Li Zhixing finally took a slight breath.

I almost missed it.

Mapo High School, as a key high school, has extremely severe penalties for being late. The lightest punishment is standing for a class period, while the heaviest punishment is cleaning, or even being called out by the whole school. Don't ask how I know.

Although he didn't intend to make a name for himself academically, being late meant that his teachers and parents would harass him relentlessly, wasting his time for ranking up and editing videos, and he really didn't want to suffer that.

After gulping down several mouthfuls of water, Li Zhixing lay on his desk, pondering his next move.

The S2 season is now nearing its end.

Now his score is far ahead, and he finished the first season of the server launch with the number one ranking in the Korean server, which is already a sure thing.

It is confirmed that the Korean OGN region will be fully formed in the S3 season next year.

With his title as the number one player in the Korean server, countless teams will definitely contact him in the future.

If he nods, he can become the absolute core of any team.

But this is not what he wanted.

Li Zhixing's professional career in his previous life made him deeply understand how powerless an individual is in the face of capital, and that even a six-time champion cannot have absolute autonomy.

In this life, Li Zhixing has no intention of repeating the same mistakes.

He wants to run his own team.

Since the commercialization of the region hasn't taken off yet, starting a team isn't too difficult. As long as you're strong enough, you can even slowly climb up from the bottom leagues.

Making videos to sell pancakes has already earned him a considerable amount of start-up capital. His biggest challenge now is finding good teammates.

If this were his previous life in South Korea, he could think of several IDs with his eyes closed; they were the geniuses who dominated the S-series for the first few years.

But in this life, everything is so unfamiliar.

"The AD position has already been filled, and I can play any position myself, so we still need to find three other people."

"That guy named Hide on bush, who's ranked second on the Korean server, is pretty good. His mechanics are amazing; he's obviously talented. I just wonder how he performs in matches..."

Li Zhixing thought of a few abstract contestants from his previous life and smiled inexplicably.

Competitions and rankings are two different things. Some people are like gods in rankings, reaching the top as easily as eating and drinking, and they can even achieve one kill with one shot in training matches.

But during the competition, it was as if he had been possessed, and he became timid and could not perform at even 30% of his potential.

Finding a champion crab that performs exceptionally well in crucial moments during ranked matches is like opening a blind box – it's incredibly difficult.

In any case, this second-ranked player in the Korean server is definitely a target worth trying to recruit.

In the early stages of the server launch, when everyone is starting from scratch, that's when talent truly shines.

If it weren't for his existence as a time traveler, this person would be number one in the Korean server.

His thoughts were interrupted by the conversation of the students in the row in front of him.

Did you watch the video Neo posted at noon?

"Of course I watched it! Damn, Neo is unbelievably good! The new hero just came out yesterday, and he's already getting godlike plays in high-elo games today!"

"Actually, I already got amazing results yesterday, but I only finished making the video today."

"And the opponent is Hide on bush. This guy is so unlucky. He's leading by 100 points in third place, but he's being suppressed by Neo."

"Whose fault is that? He's too bad. He gets solo-killed by Neo every single time..."

Just then, I heard a sound of someone slamming their fist on the table.

Turning my head, I saw a thin, stick-like boy with one fist clenched and an angry expression on his face.

At this moment, the students in the front row turned around, their faces showing surprise. "What's wrong, Sang-hyeok?"

"It's nothing." The boy named Lee Sang-hyeok returned to normal and shook his head calmly.

"Hey, Sang-hyeok," the classmate turned around and smiled, "By the way, do you play League of Legends?"

Lee Sang-hyeok replied calmly, "I can fight, and I'm very good at it."

"Is that so? What's the score?"

"2500 points."

"?"

A few gusts of cool winter wind blew in through the classroom window. After a few seconds of silence, a student said, "2500 points should put you among the top in the entire server, right? Which one are you?"

This time, Lee Sang-hyeok also fell silent.

Should we admit that he is Hide on Bush?

He got repeatedly crushed by Neo, and his classmates just labeled him a "noob".

Absolutely not.

Seeing Lee Sang-hyeok's silence, his classmate smiled and said, "Hey, it's okay. Just tell me your ID later, and I'll play duo queue with you when I get home. I'm pretty good too, I'm 1200 MMR!"

"Okay." Lee Sang-hyeok replied expressionlessly.

After saying that, the classmate turned his gaze to Li Zhixing: "Zhixing, how about you? How are you at playing LOL?"

Because Li Zhixing transferred from China and spent a year learning Korean, he is a year older than his classmates.

In South Korea, the older one is considered the "brother"!

After hearing this, Li Zhixing laughed and said, "Not bad, only 2700 points."

Upon hearing this, the classmate chuckled again: "Oh my god, hyung, why are you saying the same thing as Sang-hyeok? Neo only got 2700 points!"

Li Zhixing thought for a moment and then smiled, "Is it possible that I am Neo?"

Without any hesitation, the student exclaimed, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The nation's number one and number two are sitting right behind me? And at the same desk? Who would believe that?!

Moreover, Neo has to maintain his number one position while also editing videos and running an online store; how could he possibly be a high school student?

Just then, the school bell rang, and the teacher walked into the classroom on time.

Upon seeing this, his deskmate quickly turned around and got into study mode.

Li Zhixing smiled and shook his head, then slumped onto the table to endure the agonizing afternoon.

"..."

Before we knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

The next class is evening self-study starting at 6:30, and these two and a half hours are used for students to have dinner.

However, although South Korea is also known as the "King of Tests" in East Asia, Mapo Middle School explicitly prohibits teachers from giving lessons during evening self-study sessions. It is truly pure self-study, so students can apply to study at home independently, as long as their parents sign the form.

Fortunately, Li Zhixing's parents never interfered with his life.

If it weren't for these regulations, Li Zhixing wouldn't have been able to simultaneously become the top player in the Korean server, a social media influencer, and a high school student at the same time...

Lee Ji-haeng and Lee Sang-hyeok both got up at the same time and began packing their schoolbags.

Lee Sang-hyeok glanced at Lee Ji-haeng and said, "Let's duo queue when we get home, Ji-haeng hyung... I can carry you to higher ranks."

The boy was quiet and reserved, and Li Zhixing, his deskmate, was one of his few friends.

With the season nearing its end and first place out of reach, Lee Sang-hyeok has no motivation to climb the ranks. Playing on a smurf account to carry his friends is a perfectly acceptable option.

"No need, Sang-hyeok," Lee Ji-haeng laughed. "Someone invited me to duo queue... maybe next time."

Li Zhixing didn't know exactly how powerful Li Xianghe was, but he didn't care.

When he first debuted in his previous life, he made a bold statement, saying that no one in the world plays League of Legends better than him.

Later, he won six titles, proving his words to be true.

This is especially true in this lifetime.
