【71】 Call Me Daddy, and Daddy Might Consider Teaching You
In the venue, the commentators were explaining the BP.
Commentator A: “In this round, FOX picked Ah Ji for Maple. Ah Ji, actually, is a very decent engage mage.”
Commentator B: “Because he doesn’t need to consume much economy, and Maple’s win rate on Ah Ji last season reached 70%, breaking even with other Mid heroes. That leaves WK with few choices.”
Commentator A: “If WK can only pick an ADC with mobility for self-preservation, or a Support for primary engage… let’s see what WK will choose—Sudis? WK picked Sudis and locked it!”
Commentator B’s eyes went wide. “Sudis? When was the last time he appeared on stage? More than a year ago, right?”
“Yeah, Sudis isn’t very suitable for the current version,” Commentator A said. “And July hasn’t really played him, right?”
“Wait, WK picked Cloud Piercer too. Sudis is going Mid!”
“Sudis hard counters Ah Ji, but Sudis going Mid… that seems to only appear in online ranked games.” The commentator tried to smooth things over for WK. “Maybe it’s a new tactic. Let’s wait and see.”
The commentators were bewildered, and the livestream audience exploded.
[Good lord, I’m absolutely floored! Is ‘hard counter’ used like this?]
[Sudis in a pro match? Is there something wrong with WK’s brain?]
[The Mid laner bought for 27 million… of course they have to let the Crown Prince play what he wants. Even if they lose, it won’t be the Crown Prince taking the blame.]
[This Dawn is truly ridiculous. Is he really destined to be royalty? Starting lineup instantly at DS, and now transferred to WK, still starter. The key is he has no achievements!]
[So stupid. I want to see how you perform with a Sudis.]
[This is a pro match, not a streamer trolling. I suddenly feel sorry for my Wind. His return debut is being messed with like this.]
[Are the people above fake fans? The coach makes the main decisions for BP, right? If the coach didn’t agree, could Dawn have picked it?]
[Anyway, you guys flame all you want, I’ll watch my game.]
[Choosing to forget how Maple instigated rhythm about soloing with Dawn now, are we?]
[This is the Little Sprayer who seeks revenge for every grievance. Treasure, mwah!]
[The toxic cancers are sniffing their way here.]
[If you have an opinion, come spray against me. I’ve got nothing else to do anyway.]
After this lineup was selected, FOX’s Jungler laughed immediately. “Maple, they are targeting you.”
Maple hadn’t expected Wen Ran to pick a hard counter at all. Gritting his teeth: “Is he sick?”
“Don’t worry,” the Jungler said. “With him picking this kind of hero, although you might get stuck and suffer a bit, our farming will be much smoother.”
“After I farm up, I’ll come help you more. Winning the match is the most important thing anyway.”
Maple grunted a muffled agreement. The game started.
Sudis’s natural countering advantage made Maple so suppressed in the mid lane that even clearing waves wasn’t easy; he missed several minions in a row.
He hadn’t felt this suffocated since he started playing professionally!
Maple had always been an aggressive player, but now he was trapped under the tower, clearing minions timidly. Seeing Wen Ran’s vision rotate from mid to bottom, he immediately signaled the ADC: “Sudis went down!”
After finishing his wave, he immediately rushed over to support, but he didn’t expect Wen Ran to be waiting for him in the T-bush.
Clone control plus high burst damage instantly cleared his health bar.
First Blood!
Maple looked at the gray screen, feeling uncomfortable. Wind was on the opposite side; he had intended to perform well, but he had failed right at the start.
After respawning, he was even more cautious, checking almost every bush. But Wen Ran was like a ghost, appearing in unexpected places, specifically picking moments when Maple had used his skills to return and taking him out with a full combo.
He was almost scared into a heart attack.
After being killed three times, Maple didn’t dare to engage first unless he saw Wen Ran clearly reveal his position.
“Dawn is fierce,” the commentator said. “Ah Ji is originally an engage Mid. Now that he’s suppressed in mid lane and dares not move, FOX has directly lost half of their original massive team fight advantage.”
“The gold difference is already one thousand. It’s hard for FOX.”
Wen Ran was farming reasonably well now and went to the bottom lane to support. “Ah Ji was poked by me just now, has 1/3 health left, probably won’t come down.”
Jiang Yan’s voice also came through the headset: “Enemy AD burned Purify just now.”
Wen Ran said, “I have 5743 damage now, can tower dive directly.”
“Do you have Interference?”
Orange hummed.
Actually, he was a little dissatisfied inside. If Captain Wind were commanding, he would execute without hesitation. But Wen Ran… although his stats were better than everyone here, on what grounds?
And it was this kind of command for his personal showboating.
Orange didn’t want to listen to his command. “Not saving it for the team fight later? Enemy Support is there too.”
“Killable,” Wen Ran said. “Trust me.”
Arrow Cloud was very supportive. “My skills are ready too.”
Wen Ran maneuvered his hero, creating a clone and heading straight for the enemy ADC. Orange could only keep a straight face, following in to activate Interference. His control followed Arrow Cloud’s poke, quickly whittling the ADC down to half health. Wen Ran swapped positions just as the clone was about to disappear, using his Ultimate to claim the enemy ADC’s head.
All this happened within three or four seconds. The enemy Support was entangled by Orange and couldn’t help at all.
However, Wen Ran took some tower shots, and his health was now precarious.
He retreated first. Almost immediately, the enemy Jungler rushed over. A flowing set of moves instantly evaporated Arrow Cloud.
Then he aimed at Orange.
At the same time, a magic skill suddenly appeared from the left. Wen Ran reacted—it was Ah Ji’s skill!
Maple hadn’t gone back to heal. Now that Wen Ran had used almost all his skills, so what if it was a counter? Without skills, could he still kill him?
The situation could easily turn into a three-for-one trade. Orange said angrily, “I said don’t rush like that…”
Before he could say the word “move,” he saw Wen Ran, with only over 200 health left, use his second skill “Immunity” and a small dash to get right in Ah Ji’s face.
Maple immediately cast a skill at his own feet, but it was too late.
Ah Ji’s cast animation time was enough for Sudis to use his first skill plus a basic attack.
The reason Sudis was positioned as an “Assassin” was that his basic attacks also dealt explosive damage. Ah Ji couldn’t do anything. Maple’s screen went dark again. Wen Ran—Double Kill!
“Beautiful!” Jiang Yan had also arrived via teleport by this time, taking away the enemy Jungler and Support. The system announced a team wipe.
He had just helped catch the laner on Top.
Arrow Cloud looked at the only head his team had given up and said, “AD sacrificed, magic power boundless!”
Wen Ran didn’t stand on ceremony, recalling directly beside Maple’s corpse.
Almost angering Maple to death.
But it was futile. The gold gap snowballed, and apart from that initial tower dive to kill the ADC, Wen Ran still only targeted him, cutting him down right before team fights started.
The livestream audience couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
When the crystal was finally pushed down, Maple’s score had become 0-10-4.
In the following two games, WK selected normal lineups, playing around the Jungle core. This was primarily to respond to online speculation about Wind’s condition through the match.
The result was that Wind’s dominance hadn’t diminished in the slightest. The jungle was like his own home; not only for himself, but Arrow Cloud and Wen Ran’s buffs never stopped either. He single-handedly cut down the enemy carries multiple times, advancing with irresistible force, taking the match 3:0 directly.
Post-match, both sides had to shake hands. Wen Ran clearly saw Maple’s face was ashen, looking extremely ugly.
Wen Ran was never very enthusiastic during this segment, but today, hugging Maple felt different.
Maple was taller than him and had to bend down to hug him. The director even gave a close-up; Maple’s hands were clenched fists.
Wen Ran, however, leaned in towards his neck and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, “If you want to learn Sudis, call me Daddy, and Daddy might consider teaching you.”
Maple: “……”
Wen Ran suddenly curled his lips in a smile and even patted his shoulder like a brother.
He said in a very loud voice, “Playing against you was very fun.”
From the previous angle, their posture already looked intimate; now this move made it even more misleading.
The commentator immediately sentimentalized: “Enemies on the field, friends off the field. Friendship first, competition second. Dawn and Maple really embody this spirit to the extreme.”
The bullet comments, however, were going crazy with laughter.
[I don’t believe that’s what he meant. Didn’t you see Maple’s face? Like he ate shit!]
[For real, the corner of Maple’s mouth was twitching, and the commentator is still singing praises of truth, goodness, and beauty.]
[Bullsh*t! This sprayer definitely humiliated our Maple. Otherwise, what was he doing rubbing against Maple’s neck just now?]
[Hahaha, Dawn looking like he got his revenge!]
[Redefining ‘intimate.’ Do your ‘intimate’ friends massacre you on the field?]
[How many times did he tower dive? Maple once played Ah Ji with 11% output, then practiced hard to get his later results. Today his output was 8.3%. Wonder if he’ll continue climbing the next peak.]
[Drop it. Is playing poorly the same as being crushed?]
[Lesson learned in blood and tears: never provoke this kind of petty person!]
The interview seat, unsurprisingly, featured Jiang Yan and Wen Ran.
After all, the two of them came with their own topic engagement.
The camera switched to the interview area. The viewers in the livestream almost thought they had switched to an entertainment program due to the high visual appeal of these two.
The interviewer today was Youzi again. She despised Wen Ran, but with Wind present in this match, Youzi knew how big the exposure opportunity was. After weighing the options, she chose to bite the bullet and go up.
“Today we are interviewing WK’s Wind and Dawn. This is WK’s first match this season, and the win was very beautiful! First, I’d like to ask Wind: we all know this is your first battle after returning from retirement. Were you nervous before the match?”
“Of course not,” Jiang Yan raised his eyes lazily. “It’s not like Brother hasn’t played matches before. I wasn’t nervous for the Grand Finals; for a regular season match, is it worth it?”
[Hubby, as expected of you, domineering!]
[Hahaha exactly. He has two championship trophies; what’s the psychology behind being nervous fighting FOX?]
[Left my Brother Wind speechless. FMVP player nervous for regular season?]
Youzi continued to the next question. “In today’s match, you took two MVPs, and your condition is quite good. Do you have any secrets for maintaining it?”
“Playing training matches, I guess.” Jiang Yan looked at Youzi with disdain. “All players know this, right?”
“Haha,” Youzi laughed awkwardly. “Thank you for Wind’s answer. We have one last question for Dawn.”
Youzi smiled fakely. “Regarding your record-breaking 27 million transfer fee, how do you feel about this price in your heart? Have you delivered the efficiency the club deserves?”
“I heard many people say there is a premium (overpricing). Do you agree?”
Although Youzi’s reputation wasn’t great after intentionally inciting rhythm last time, she brought huge traffic, so the officials tacitly allowed her to ask some bold, ungovernable questions to increase viewership.
This was intentionally targeting Wen Ran.
[Is there something wrong with this Youzi?]
[Back when Dawn first debuted, she was the one bringing up Ye Xin to start drama, right?]
[I’m gonna puke. How is Dawn supposed to answer this?]
[Little Sprayer is really unlucky meeting this kind of host. She prepares retarded questions for Wind, and this kind of dilemma for Dawn. Afraid people won’t know she’s targeting him!]
[This is different from the Ye Xin thing last time. Saying the wrong thing will offend people!]
[Is he afraid of offending people?]
[Person above, go get treated if you’re sick, don’t delay!]
Everyone was waiting to see how Wen Ran would respond. But before he could answer, Jiang Yan reached back and clasped Wen Ran’s wrist, signaling him not to move, and spoke first: “Of course he doesn’t agree.”
“That Dawn could be listed at this price and the deal closed shows that both WK and DS Club recognize his strength.”
He added emphasis on “DS Club.” Sure enough, Youzi’s face turned a bit ugly.
“However, I am quite curious,” Jiang Yan stared at Youzi, his tone calm but carrying a faint oppressiveness. “Who did you hear say our family’s Mid laner was overpriced?”
Youzi hadn’t expected to be questioned like this. She stuttered for a moment. “Just… just other people.”
Jiang Yan pressed step by step. “Who are ‘other people’?”
Youzi felt guilty. “Net… netizens on the internet.”
“Oh~ netizens,” Jiang Yan said in a lazy tone. “I also saw netizens saying your interviewing ability looks like a temp worker without a certificate. Do you agree?”
Youzi: “……”
