【69 Too Much Face Given, The Son Thinks He’s The Father

Cool. Simply explosive cool.

This was the only thought left in Peach and Youyou’s minds. They knew from watching Wen Ran’s streams that he loved to flame people. Youyou had even prepared herself to be sprayed by Wen Ran until she was covered in dog blood, but she never expected Wen Ran would flame others for her.

Putting herself in the shoes of the person being flamed, she might die of anger, but being protected on the side of the Little Sprayer… whoever experienced it knew how good it felt.

“Fox, come get Blue.”

Wen Ran called out, and Youyou immediately followed, overwhelmed by the favor. “For me?”

Wen Ran helped her hit it down to a sliver of health, maneuvering Shadow to draw a sword circle around her. “Otherwise?”

Help, this sudden boyfriend power!

Youyou blushed instantly. She used her first skill to take the Blue buff. Looking at the Blue Buff beneath her feet, she felt it was somewhat dreamlike.

She had played so many games, but a random teammate had never given her a Buff before. As a professional player, Wen Ran actually gave a fan the Buff. Being personally protected by her idol and given a Blue… taking any one of these things out would be the peak of a life!

“Take it well. Don’t feed it to the enemy before it’s even warm.”

“Mm-hm!”

Youyou didn’t feel angry at all. She was more used to how Wen Ran spoke than anyone.

His mouth was a bit sharp, but his heart was kind.

While Youyou was jubilant, Peach felt a bit lost.

After all, she was a girl too, and also a fan who liked Dawn. The gifts she had sent Wen Ran weren’t any fewer than Youyou’s.

Yet, Dawn only gave the Blue to Youyou.

Suddenly, she heard Wen Ran say unexpectedly, “You get one too. I’ll take you to invade their Blue.”

His tone even carried a hint of helpless “can’t do anything about you” resignation.

A moment later, Peach hung onto Wen Ran, looking at the beautiful Blue Buff beneath her feet, wishing she could cast ten more shields on him.

Peach couldn’t stop her maiden heart from blooming. “Dawn, you’re so nice! Is this the Wild King Gie~gie? Love it, love it!”

“Giegie gave the Blue buff to me. If the enemy Jungler sees, will he beat me up?”

Wen Ran: “……”

Then Peach watched helplessly as Wen Ran led her to the enemy tower, and after she was knocked off him, he maneuvered his hero and dashed away.

Peach: “???”

The enemy immediately chased after Peach to kill her. How could a pitiful Bell have any self-preservation ability? Peach screamed as she was chased. Only when she was down to 1/4 health did Wen Ran come back to pick her up.

Recalling her thrilling experience, Peach still had lingering fears.

Wen Ran: “Still talking nonsense?”

Peach: “……”

How would she dare!

This petty vixen!

For a pro player of Wen Ran’s level, playing a Diamond rank game was no problem at all.

Moreover, Bell didn’t require much mechanical skill, and Peach knew how to play. Added to his proper shot-calling, they quickly secured the victory.

Wen Ran took them through four games. Except for meeting that Top laner in the first game, they easily won the other three.

Honestly speaking, playing these four games with Wen Ran was a great experience. Although Wen Ran didn’t say it, his actions showed he took care of them. Not only did he give Buffs, but he also intentionally let them take kills.

It made both their records look quite good.

Otherwise, with their indescribable skills, they would have been beaten by the enemy until they couldn’t find their own heads.

There were many voice lines for communication in the game. Every time Peach or Youyou died, Wen Ran would send a “Don’t panic, I’m here” signal, and below it, two “Received” notifications would invariably appear.

It was just that the two of them felt Wen Ran’s meaning was more like, “Trash, lie down properly.”

When it ended, both were a bit reluctant to part. After all, such a strong carry who also cared for fans’ emotions was rare. Peach had prepared a long paragraph to say to Wen Ran, but the other party unhesitatingly said “Going offline” and exited the room directly.

Leaving Peach and Youyou looking at each other.

Peach Sauce: “Sister, what do you think Little Sprayer was thinking just now? Was it [Finally done with business, I want to sleep early]?”

After all, Wen Ran had scrims every day and was quite busy.

Youyou Doesn’t Stay Up Late: “I think so. Daddy really carried hard today, dragging two trolls like us.”

Peach Sauce: “……”

Peach Sauce: “I think what you said makes sense. Dawn’s heart is like stone! Woo woo! I almost evolved into a girlfriend fan today too!”

Youyou Doesn’t Stay Up Late: “Given Dawn’s tolerance for noobs, we should have been burning high incense long ago. Sister, look on the bright side. At least he logged off himself and didn’t kick us out of the room.”

Peach Sauce: “……”

The league schedule had been announced. WK’s first match was against Team FOX.

The Winter Champion Cup format was also a round-robin points system. First, teams were shuffled and played each other in turn, then ranked by net points. The two teams with the lowest scores would play a relegation match against Group A.

Team FOX had always stayed in Group S and had played against WK before.

A few days before the match, Wen Ran suddenly received a friend request.

The content was simple: [Dare to solo?]

If it were any other message, Wen Ran certainly wouldn’t have accepted, but this person wrote way too arrogantly. Solo?

He had never been afraid.

Wen Ran accepted the friend request. The opponent’s avatar was an anime character that looked a bit melancholic.

Straight to the point: [Did you see what I asked? Dare or not?]

[Can You Shut Up: ?]

[Opponent: What’s with the question mark? Do you dare or not?]

[Can You Shut Up: Who are you?]

[Opponent: Tsk tsk, forgot to introduce myself. I’m FOX’s Mid laner, Maple.]

[Can You Shut Up: Oh, don’t know you.]

[Maple: ……]

This Dawn was indeed as arrogant as the rumors said. No manners either.

His words could anger someone to death.

[Maple: You’re about to play a match against us, and you don’t even know who your opponent is?]

[Maple: I don’t believe you haven’t watched my match replays.]

[Can You Shut Up: Mn, I remember now. You’re that Ninja whose three-stage dash missed completely? The Ah Ji with 11% damage output?]

[Maple: ……]

Damn it!

[Maple: Stop talking crap here. I’m asking you, 1v1 right now, dare or not?]

Wen Ran really disliked this person’s way of speaking. Frowning, he replied:

[Can You Shut Up: You can’t even wait three or four days? What’s the difference between losing now and losing on stage? Or are you afraid you aren’t skilled enough at losing, so you came for a rehearsal?]

Maple was about to explode looking at this message.

This dead sprayer!

[Maple: Tone down your arrogance!]

[Maple: Although I don’t know where you got your connections, I don’t acknowledge you. You took the spot that originally belonged to me!]

[Can You Shut Up: ?]

Maple’s skills were actually considered quite strong among Group S Mid laners. He had listed himself for transfer before. He had heard that WK would buy a Mid laner this season, and given his age and skill, his cost-performance ratio was actually quite good.

Maple was listed for 8 million, a standard price.

He was only just 19 this year, the prime age for playing. His hero pool was deep too. He had asked someone to inquire with WK, and originally, Maple had already been in contact with the WK club. They had said he could come for a tryout.

But when the agreed tryout time came, Maple suddenly developed a fever and slept groggily at home for a whole day.

Then he received a message from WK saying they were sorry, they were already in contact with another player, so they wouldn’t delay him and he should continue trying out with other clubs.

Maple only found out later that the one they tried out was actually Dawn—a player who hadn’t even made the top eight and had no historical achievements.

If that was all, it would be one thing, but there was a staggering transfer fee of 27 million.

Subconsciously, Maple decided that this position should have been his. He could go toe-to-toe with anyone in Group S; if it were a fair competition, how could he lose to this Dawn?

Maple was also young and hot-headed. The more he thought about it, the less he could tolerate it, especially after Wind announced his return. He clearly realized he had lost the chance to fight alongside his idol.

Since the schedule pitted them against each other, Maple planned to come over and solo with Dawn first.

Break his mental state, then massacre him directly on the arena stage!

[Maple: You don’t really think you’re worthy of 27 million, do you?]

[Maple: With trash like you standing next to Wind, you’re simply bringing bad luck to Wind.]

Wen Ran didn’t have a good temper to begin with. Since he mentioned Jiang Yan, this insult was even more intolerable.

Give a son too much face, and he starts thinking he’s the father.

[Can You Shut Up: Come on, get on.]

[Maple: Solo with who?]

[Can You Shut Up: Whatever you want. But I suggest you pick your best hero, so you don’t blame it on a bad performance when you lose.]

Maple sneered. This bragging was about to blow the sky open. He had no self-awareness at all. Just watch him beat Wen Ran until he’s looking for his teeth on the ground!

Maple ultimately chose Drum Spirit.

This was considered his fame-making hero, effective for gaining points in professional matches. He was very confident he could beat Wen Ran down.

But once inside the game, Maple realized things weren’t that simple.

The combos he prided himself on—Wen Ran not only knew them all but even had operations more impressive than his.

Drum Spirit was a hero with a lot of room for mechanical skill. Because of the four special skills, the resulting combo patterns were unpredictable. Maple thought his mastery was high enough, until he chased Wen Ran, used all his skills but failed to kill him because the opponent used a bush to hide vision and dodge a tick of damage.

Immediately after, Wen Ran chased him a thousand miles across the map and killed him under his own defense tower.

And Wen Ran used Purify to dodge the tower shot, walking away with a sliver of health right in front of him.

Maple: “……”

Wen Ran sneered. “Your best? Just this?”
