You actually want me to...

XLB: ? ? ?

. . . . . .

P.S.: I'm taking a day off today. I'll only be posting one update now and taking a break.

PS2: Because I was young and naive, I used to buy private lessons (he was quite responsible and reminded me to go to class every two weeks). I only went for three lessons and then didn't go for more than a year. Recently, I felt that I couldn't continue to be so lazy, so I accepted his invitation.

Then came the point.

When I agreed, I thought to myself: People can't live without exercise; more exercise is good for health.

When I was being trained like a dog this afternoon: I'm a paratrooper!!!

After practice: Huh? That's it? Is that all you've got? Coach, I'll come back tomorrow.

Then, after getting home, taking a shower, and lying in bed, feeling the warmth of the air conditioner and the bed, I thought about my boastful words this afternoon and what I would do tomorrow. What I was thinking was: I really am a paratrooper.

PS3: TES got crushed by me today!!!

First Encounter: Chapter 88: Time Travel is a matter of luck, but the selection of the person is truly random.

"The performance was alright."

"Absolutely! What a lifesaver King!" Back in the rest room, Roland started to gloat. Although his teammates had an advantage in this match, his role was still significant.

While it can't be said that there have been immediate and dramatic changes, progress is at least visible, which makes White Crescent somewhat gratified.

In the support role, there's no such thing as becoming incredibly skilled instantly. Every experienced support player is built up through countless matches. Normally, they can only be developed gradually, and seeing progress is already considered a very fast pace.

Of course, White Crescent kept its promise and promptly gave Roland everything it had been promised upon returning to the base. Considering Roland's rather eccentric behavior, and to prevent him from taking the toys outside and doing anything too outrageous, White Crescent could only patiently hint:

“Ah Ban.”

"Ok?"

"Young people need to pay more attention to their health. After all, their minds have become quite abnormal, so they must keep their bodies healthy. Do you understand what I mean?"

"???"

With TES's victory, all sorts of comments have emerged online, especially regarding TES's hero microphone, which is a classic moment.

[Great job, TES's atmosphere team is amazing!]

[The moment A-Ban entered the game, the entire bot lane dynamics changed drastically; it was absolutely outrageous.]

"Even the dogs are barking; the bot lane is really acting like they're not human anymore, huh?"

[What kind of god-like understanding is this? As long as we can engage the enemy before they engage us, we won't get wiped out in one fell swoop.]

Everyone was stunned when they saw the microphone. Good heavens, they were so anxious watching the live stream from below, and these contestants were talking nonsense up there. Is this a river?

The consequences were obvious: Roland's Weibo account was once again flooded with criticism.

what?

You're saying Roland's Weibo account is just there to attract attention, and he doesn't even bother to look at it himself?

But what does it matter? Just keep charging in. Anyway, most of those charging the tower aren't serious gamers; they're just following the crowd and participating for fun.

Having secured a playoff spot, TES now has more options and actions. First, they can start practicing new heroes and trying out some unconventional tactics in matches, which basically means they can play more freely. Second, they can relax the pressure on the players for a short period of time, allowing them to unwind a bit.

During the days without matches, TES gave the players ample rest. However, despite this, they still harbored an instinctive fear of the coach due to the lingering effects of the previous period.

How can I describe this feeling?

Just as qualified young survivors around the world can distinguish their parents' location, posture, intentions, and speed of movement outside the door by the weight of their footsteps, their cadence, and the sound of their slippers, the entire TES team has also developed an unconscious response to hearing the white crescent-shaped footsteps.

That's roughly the situation; it's quite strange anyway.

Faced with a rare short break, the entire TES team did their own thing. Apart from Karsa, a long-time anime fan who chose to binge-watch dramas and play games, the rest of the players opted to play dead and lie low.

For a 007 worker, instead of letting them go out and play during their holidays, wasting a whole day covered in sweat and feeling little joy besides being tired, it's better to let them lie on the sofa and daydream all day. Only those who are truly exhausted can understand how damn good that feeling of emptiness is.

As for Roland, he was one of the few exceptions in the team, and he chose to go out.

Of course, it wasn't that I had any urgent business to attend to when I went out; it was simply to sign a contract, go through the formalities, and finalize my housing situation in Changsha.

Yes, buying a house.

As a transmigrator, he lived a rather humble life. Since he transmigrated to the end of 18, and only recently joined TES and started earning money, he missed out on a lot of version benefits.

As for Bitcoin, to be honest, he didn't have much money to buy it at the time, and he had absolutely no idea how to get started, so it was completely impossible for him. Looking back at stocks and the sports market, he couldn't remember exactly what happened, and he had nowhere to begin.

As for plagiarists...

This is the most outrageous thing he thinks a time traveler can do. Most people can't even understand an 800-word essay, so he doesn't believe that a time traveler can copy works of hundreds of thousands or even millions of words without some kind of cheat code.

What can he do? He can't do anything.

Looking back at various novels, if you remove all the superpowers, such as systems, grandpas, cheat codes, deities, and superpowers, from the transmigrators and just look at what the protagonists do and say, you'll find that without these cheat codes, most of them are just normal people, and some are even worse than normal people.

What can we do? A professional career only lasts a few years, and there's only one player like JKL who has reached the top in every sense. So we can only find a way ourselves.

For Chinese people, the first option to ensure a safety net is to buy a house. In order to make it easier for him to slack off, Roland also chose the city where TES's home club is located, one of the new first-tier cities in the country: Xingcheng.

Then... looking at and buying a house took him a whole day.

It's alright to look around. Although it usually takes a long time to look at houses, if you raise your price a bit, most of the slightly more expensive neighborhoods are fine. The only problem with expensive neighborhoods is that they are expensive.

Roland, who recently signed with TES and received a "huge sum" of money, has never worried about such things. Having too much cash on hand will only make people spend extravagantly and start to squander their money.

Buying a house is actually a pretty good investment, and it can also help you control your desire to spend money.

The key is signing the contract.

In the past, when he read novels, the protagonists would buy houses by simply swiping their cards, transferring money, and signing their names.

The actual process of buying a house involves running around to several places to obtain certificates, then facing a contract that's half the height of a dictionary, signing and fingerprinting from 3 a.m. to 5 p.m. And you think that's the end of it? He also has to schedule an appointment to pay taxes. The whole process completely overwhelmed Roland.

So when he finally returned to the base, the first reaction of the TES team when they saw him was that he had been completely drained.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how many girls are there, looking this tired?"

"No girls, but even a few cows would be exhausted, believe it or not." Seeing his eye roll, the TES team chuckled knowingly. They'd all experienced this before, but compared to Roland, they all had family members helping them with many trivial matters, so it didn't seem that outrageous to them.

"So, how do you feel now?"

"It feels kind of dreamlike." As Roland said this, he finally realized where his transmigration perk lay. In fact, his perks were already reflected in every little detail.

If it were any other club, he might not have received such a high signing fee. But TES is different. Behind him is Top Esports, which in turn is Top Sports, the largest distributor of Nike, Adidas, and Reebok in China. Behind Top Sports is Belle International, China's largest apparel retailer. Top Esports' partner, Nike, is one of the biggest financial backers of the LPL.

Their main purpose in coming to the LPL is the same as JDG and SN: not to make money, but to advertise. Therefore, they don't mind spending a lot of money to buy players, and their investment is incomparable to the stingy, established clubs. All of this is a benefit of the LPL's franchise system; new investors are often the richest ones.

Only a team like TES could attract top players like Knight, Karsa, and JKL. High salaries, commitments to acquire new players, and a roster built around top talent are key reasons why TES has truly risen to become one of the new "Four Kings."

First Encounter: Chapter 89: The Difference Between a Novice and a Master

After settling his life's most important matter, Roland returned to TES and began his livestreaming journey. On one hand, he needed to meet the monthly livestreaming time requirement; on the other hand, even though livestreaming platforms no longer have the high traffic of previous years, every little bit helps, and for Roland, who values ​​money above all else, this money was still very necessary.

As for why it's considered a lifelong event, just look at the current public opinion environment and you'll understand.

Not only do men have to own a house and a car, but they also have to pay in full. A monthly income of a substantial amount is considered the minimum, and they even have to give an exorbitant dowry for marriage.

Do you think this is over?

After marriage, they will divide your house and car, and some even go so far as to demand that your name be changed to the other party's name. As the woman, all they need to contribute is a single AC number.

This is a phenomenon of public opinion on the internet. Although such stupid behavior is not very common in reality except in a few poorer places, it is undeniable that the release of such videos has more or less influenced the thinking of some modern women, and at the same time increased the psychological pressure on men of the same age.

So the best course of action now is either to buy a house before marriage and then require prenuptial property notarization and premarital medical examination, or to cut off the electricity in Taiwan or restore peace to the internet through real-name registration. Otherwise, there is basically no solution.

"Here we come, XDM. Let's play on the Chinese server today. Those who know, know why. We're not going to get involved with any trouble from the gods."

[2333, I chickened out, Ah Ban chickened out.]

[After all, it's the day God fell; whoever goes up today will die.]

[On her wedding night, Eun-jung faced her tribulation in the Korean server. The legendary LeBlanc Ryze, the "Holy Shadow" Zed, ultimately led to Eun-jung's departure. The world will never see another "Holy Shadow" Zed; Faker's dream of the butterfly is over. Eun-jung is also a part of the tribulation.]

[What does a three-time champion matter? Eun-jung is no longer by his side. You enter the Hall of Fame, who enters Eun-jung's room? You show off your Naruto Zed skills, Eun-jung is still crying. You can be strong as you want, Eun-jung is handing out wedding candy. You can be mischievous as you want, Eun-jung is pregnant. You can be fierce as you want, Eun-jung is a mother. When the four-time champion arrives, Eun-jung won't recognize him anymore. Sang-hyeok will eventually become the neighbor's king, Eun-jung's child will be strong in the mid lane!]

Yes, as everyone has seen, in early April, Eun-jung announced her marriage to a famous South Korean actor, officially putting an end to the years-long scandal.

Although, in terms of S10, Guapi's dominance is not as strong as before.

But out of respect for Guapi, Roland decided to just play the Chinese server today. If he remembered correctly, Guapi had spent the entire previous life playing the Liberator class, clearly still caught up in his past life.

"Ahem, I'm playing on the Chinese server today, but I'm playing support, just in time to give you guys some new entertainment." Roland said with a grin, and then opened his ranked game. In the high-level games on the Chinese server, the support role is no longer an unwanted position, because there are many duo queues of bot and support in high-level games, and it is not easy to find a solo queue ADC.

Overall, this position is easier to match with than other positions, and it didn't take long for Roland to join the game.

Without hesitation, the support player instantly selected Shaco and locked in the pick.

【? ? ? 】

【You're doing it again?】

[A well-known LPL support player chose Shaco support in ranked games, implying that Faker's love life is like a clown. JPG]

I don't know why, but seeing you choose this kind of tacky stuff leaves me completely unmoved.

The Shaco support is another hero that was significantly affected by the equipment changes in Season 10.

The reason why S11's AhP was so determined to switch from the bot lane to the mid lane was because of the change in the weight of AP items in S10. Although the most powerful buffs in this version were still AD armor penetration items, AP items were also very useful at the same time.

Take the S10 item Ice Lance mentioned earlier as an example: the first major item provides ability power, mana, cooldown reduction, and an active effect, and the total price is only 2000+. In every sense, its cost-effectiveness is off the charts, allowing mid-lane mages to play their role in the early game.

Similarly, this idea applies to some AP supports, such as Shaco, who is already agile and has damage in the early game, but his overall equipment needs to be adjusted slightly.

Unlike the pure damage Shaco of the current version, Shaco's build in Season 10 is more utility-oriented, and his pick rate depends on the situation; you can't just build randomly. This is why you only see this kind of unpopular hero in high-elo games on the Chinese server, because there are too many skilled players in high-elo games on the Chinese server. If it were on the Korean server, you probably wouldn't be able to log in to a game for half an hour.

Of course, this match wasn't very high-level. Because I don't play much on the Chinese server, I'm only at the Diamond rank right now.

The opposing team's lineup in this match generally lacked mobility:

Blue side: Top lane Garen, Jungle Hecarim, Mid lane Yasuo, Bot lane Varus + Shaco

Red team: Top lane Gangplank, Jungle Aatrox, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Miss Fortune + Thresh

"Let me tell you, this hero support is Zelda is really fun, but I don't play him much because I'm a professional player, so it might be a bit of a disaster." Roland scratched his head and decided to give the audience a heads-up first.
