You actually want me to...

Because Lux is too fat.

The Mejai's Soulstealer is actually a negative item when it's not stacked up. 1600 gold only gets you 20 ability power and 100 health, which seems like a rip-off. But if you can stack it up, you can get a whopping 145 ability power, 100 health, and 10% movement speed.

What is this concept?

The mage's ultimate gear, the hat, only adds 120 spell power, ignoring its effects. Huh? You ask why we ignore the effects? Because one item costs 1600 spell power, and the other 3600. It's like asking for the same power of a drink that costs tens of dollars—it's an unfair comparison.

If books without layers are like British cookbooks, American history, or French war history, then books with full layers are like the four ancient civilizations and Chinese cookbooks—a direct and overwhelming attack.

By this point, there was no one on the field who could stop Roland.

clam?

I spotted Aphelios on the map? An AD carry dares to show up in my sights? Ultimate ready!

The railgun was unleashed, instantly crippling the enemy and sending them home.

clam?

You're saying the support Thresh went out to ward? Did you get my permission?

Wait here, don't run away! Wait until my ultimate skill cooldown is over in 30 seconds, then I'll give you a real beating~

What? A raid?

Quick, the enemy team has Lux in team fights, everyone quickly line up.

"Ha (loading bar) ~ Demacia!!!"

Ultimately, what the LPL livestream viewers saw was a smug Roland leading his four loyal bodyguards, chasing the enemy across the map, unleashing beam attacks and area-of-effect damage—a sight that truly left those watching outside the livestream dumbfounded.

Are they watching the All-Star game, or is it a rich boss hiring four professional players to play?

It truly maximized the entertainment value of the show.

[This is outrageous! In the end, it turned out to be a support carry.]

The gap is too big. The opposing players are clearly more compatible, but whether it's team leadership or individual skill, Banhuang seems to perform better.

[They weren't even taking it seriously, it was just an entertainment event; otherwise, things might have turned out very differently.]

To be honest, seeing how much they're laughing, I'm already looking forward to the All-Star Hero Mic Show!

Following the principle of automatically assuming the advantageous side when watching an entertainment game, the viewers in the live stream were quite engrossed in the show. After all, normally, it's rare to see professional players using Thresh, Nautilus, Leona, or similar champions.

But if you're talking about mage supports like Lux, Brand, Xerath, Ziggs, Vel'Koz, Zilean, Fiddlesticks, Swain, or Shaco, then they're incredibly immersive, especially those jungle-support duo queues. Without Yuumi or Senna, they basically have a mage support to annoy teammates and opponents alike, playing with such expertise.

Only when they saw that the blue team's advantage was difficult to reverse did the red team finally give up on winning the game and change their goal to killing Lux once.

at last.

Seven minutes later, when the five members of the red team abandoned the crystal and charged into the blue team's lineup in a suicidal attack, JKL and the others finally got their wish and defeated Lux.

2 to 1.

All ten All-Stars have successfully clocked out.

Summary: Chapter Twenty-Eight: You might not believe it, but I used to be a genius!

"Nice guys, that's a glorious end to the broadcast for today~"

"Yes, yes, yes, today's match was really enjoyable. To be honest, your crosstalk skills really played a big part in our smooth victory."

"Wait a minute!? Did I perform crosstalk today?"

"Of course, believe me, a person's scoundrels can't be hidden."

"???"

Looking at his four temporary teammates laughing together, Roland instantly felt that something was wrong. However, Ning Wang was right; a team's performance was greatly influenced by the atmosphere within the team.

Good thugs can be bought back.

However, almost every team's starting lineup member who can set up the atmosphere is not for sale. The thought that this guy was originally developed by Jack and had a high probability of being recruited by IG makes Ning feel melancholy.

This is fucking ridiculous.

Su Xiaoluo, are you even good at drawing cards?

You've already drawn a bunch of SSR cards and given them all away, but how come you didn't even notice that there's a UR card that's even higher level than an SSR hidden around you?

Seriously, with such a great atmosphere-setter and a talented newcomer, judging from the results, if Roland had joined IG back then, they might have even had a chance to replicate the glory of S8.

It's truly a pity.

After three fun matches, the next segment was naturally the interview. Before the two teams had even taken their positions on stage, JKL had already quietly crept over to settle scores with Roland.

"Wait... I think I can explain."

"late."

"No, you can't do this! This is just an exhibition match!"

"Whether it's entertaining or not, I don't know. I only know that forgiving you is God's business, and I'm only responsible for sending you to meet God. Give me your 'sin'!"

"Yami~!"

Watching the two chasing each other frantically dodging among the other eight, even the experienced host couldn't help but laugh out loud. This is what the entertainment of an All-Star Entertainment Game should be like. If you can't even have fun yourself, how can you get the other people's emotions going?

At least... today's three matches have already raised Roland's rating in Riot's eyes by one level.

After all the interviews were over, Roland entered the middle of his vacation. The only remaining competition was the Demacia Cup (end of December), followed by a break of more than a month (Chinese New Year) until the Spring Season started in March.

As for the Demacia Cup, those who know, know.

Using all the main players is definitely not an option, at least not before the semifinals. Using all the main players would be a very foolish move. However, TES only has one substitute, Yuyanjia, so Roland's slacking off and sitting on the bench has almost become a fait accompli.

Well, aside from playing a certain amount of ranked games every day to hone our teamwork, there really aren't any major competitions to prepare for.

So Roland asked White Crescent for leave and went with his girlfriend to a dinner party hosted by the commentators and hosts. In his straight-man mind, this dinner party was similar to the ancient custom of paying respects to a powerful figure?

probably.

Seeing Roland dump all his peripherals on his teammates and then try to run towards himself, hope Ran helplessly pursed her lips. This idiot, at least change your team uniform first. Does he really think he's ordering takeout at the club?

"Wait a minute, didn't you think about whether you forgot anything?"

"Huh? Bringing things? Do you mean I need to go downstairs and buy a few bags of fruit?"

"No, think about it again."

"Huh?" Hearing hope Ran's prompt, Roland subconsciously checked his entire body. If he had to say if there was anything he had forgotten... could it be...?

"Oh, I get it! The thing you're talking about, is it the kind that's unsafe to not wear, uncomfortable to wear, and you can't go in without it, but you can only go in if you wear it? But isn't it a bit inappropriate to go to the pharmacy to buy it now? Or do you have any in your bag? Just use what's in your bag."

Xi Ran: ? ? ?

At this moment, not only hope Ran, but even the staff who were secretly eavesdropping next to them all stiffened, and then cast an admiring glance at Roland.

Good heavens, no wonder it's the first of its kind in the world.

They admitted to this fearless courage.

"Roland!!! Do you want to die!?" Feeling the strange eyes around her, Xi Ran was no longer calm. Never before had she so desperately wanted to show her violence.

Fortunately, she wasn't the type to be patient or tolerant.

Seeing hope Ran smiling and approaching him, Roland realized he had messed things up and could only retreat quietly step by step. "Wait... let me explain, I was talking about the mask, the mask! I advise you to calm down and mind your ladylike image. I'm warning you, there are a lot of people around here. If you dare to make a move, I'll immediately shout for help."

"Holy crap...you actually did it!?"

"Wow~ Help! Murder! Quick, a hero needs to appear!"

then...

When the LPL commentators and hosts finally finished all their work and were about to go to the locker room to change back into their casual clothes, they were greeted by the "magical sight" of Xiran chasing Roland all over the room as soon as they entered the backstage area.

"Wow, he was kiting JKL on stage just now, and now he can still pull Xiran off stage. Banhuang truly deserves to be the number one player to switch from top lane to support."

"Indeed, it reminds me of watching a boy in my class make a girl he liked angry back in elementary school."

"How about we come back later and give them some space?"

"I think this plan is feasible."

With the understanding of the group of older men, the room was eventually given up. It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the two of them emerged from the room, their clothes disheveled. Roland, in particular, had his hair completely messed up, making him look like a bird's nest, which made people want to laugh at first glance.

Half an hour later...

"Ahem, actually, would you believe me if I said we were just playing in the room?" Feeling the strange gazes from the table, Roland sat at the dining table feeling quite uncomfortable.

"Of course we believe you. You can continue, you don't need to be afraid of us."

"Ahem... well, how about we order first?"

"Huh? Hahahaha, okay, let's order first." Looking at this young man who didn't forget to make jokes even when changing the subject, the commentators couldn't help but admire his sense of humor. No wonder he's a player who has gained countless fans in just over a year of professional gaming. His mouth is truly a gift from heaven.

On the other side of the table, several young and beautiful female commentators and hosts were gathered together, and even Rookie was there, whispering to Roland.

As I said before, they are reviewing it.

As mentioned before, since professional players generally have low levels of education and experience, female commentators and hosts are usually not very willing to date professional players unless they are not short of money. The most typical example is Rita, whose goal has always been to reach a higher social class.

Actually, you can understand it if you think about it.

Gaming is already work, and when you finally have some private time on a date, your boyfriend can only talk about games all the time. This kind of scene would definitely infuriate a lot of women. If he also has low emotional intelligence, then it's even worse.

However, they soon realized they had misjudged the situation.

Because of drinking culture.

Drinking culture is something that contemporary young people find extremely distasteful. However, in a country like my country, where people like to discuss everything, big or small, at the dinner table, it's a culture that's hard to refuse, and it also puts a lot of emotional intelligence to the test.

How to toast, when to toast, what order to toast, how to please others while being humble—these are all lessons learned through countless painful experiences.

Although Roland had only worked for a few years before transmigrating, he was at least able to get a basic understanding of drinking culture. Even if he wasn't as skilled as veterans like Wawa and Miller, it depends on who you compare him to. Compared to the average person in society, he was indeed a bit naive, but compared to professional drinkers, wow, his drinking proficiency was truly phenomenal.

If we consider drinking culture as just an appetizer...

The main course that followed truly astonished the hosts and commentators in the room. From international affairs to workplace empathy, from glorious past to interesting stories in the gaming community, Roland could chime in on almost anything. His conversational skills were off the charts, leaving everyone present stunned.

"Xiran, isn't your boyfriend... a little too perfect?"

You're telling them this guy is only 18?

Subtracting two years of professional experience, this guy is only 16 years old. How can a 16-year-old know so much? And why did hope Ran have to take advantage of this young girl?
