Give Me Jungler and I'll Carry, Thank You - Chapter 12
[Renowned Esports Commentator Master Wang Predicts: This Season, VW’s Bottom-Mid-Jungler Might Hold the Top Three Positions in the National Server; Autumn Transfer Period Could Have Made Them The Biggest Winner]
[From Arch-enemies to Teammates: Rafael and Phea’s Past]
[VW’s Xiao Di, the Next ADC to Ascend?]
The match yesterday afternoon caused quite a stir last night and successfully dominated trending topics on social media this morning. Last night, Yin Yu accidentally uninstalled Weibo. He reinstalled it this morning but forgot to turn off the notifications. By the time he finished dinner at six and retrieved his phone from the shelf, messages had been flooding in all afternoon and had drained its battery.
To be able to drain a full battery, showed the level of madness.
“Brother Yin, do you want to duo queue later?”
During dinner, Xiao Di used his fork to poke at the steak in his bowl. He wrinkled his face as he transferred it to Mother’s plate. He then picked some tomatoes and pasta into his bowl and sprinkled some cumin on top, making it look odd.
“Sure.”
The teen in black wiped the black pepper sauce from the corner of his mouth with a tissue and discreetly pushed the escargot aside.
Perhaps their three-star Michelin chef was homesick. The long table was filled with authentic French cuisine for dinner tonight. Beef steak and foie gras aside, this sticky and gooey snail was too luxurious. In fact, from Yin Yu’s observation, except for Mr. Chu, everyone was avoiding the dish.
Hmph, pretentious!
Yin Yu glanced at the one who had no problem with etiquette. Cutting the snails into small pieces with standard Western table manners, Chu Ke put them into his mouth without any change in expression. He sneered inwardly.
During the replay analysis last night, the entire team watched the match replay three times. Several coaches and honorary coaches pointed out some of their remaining weaknesses.
During the aggressive killing of Cole in the bottom lane, Xiao Di was slower at catching up but fortunately still made it in time. Otherwise, Yin Yu and Chu Ke would have been killed under the tower. Today’s trending topics would be changed to welcome netizens’ ridicule.
This showed that the ultimate problem laid with the ADC and Jungler’s lack of cooperation, so the coaches decided to let the two of them duo queue to develop chemistry. Coincidentally, there was no training scheduled tonight. Xiao Di planned to pull Yin Yu onto the continent of Ofinika to crush some rookies and hone their skills and teamwork.
Today was the first day of the game’s new season update. According to Diadema’s official settings, at the end of the season, all players were forced to drop two levels. It did not matter if you were a master with high points. Of course, this did not include Bronze and Silver players.
Since this was the case, all of VW’s main accounts dropped back to Diamond. According to the team’s regulations, they must get their main accounts’ total points into the national server’s top fifty within the season. It was more comfortable to be in the top fifty at the beginning of the season than to chase points at the end of the season.
“Wait a second, I’ll start a live stream.”
The VW team allowed its members to livestream, and all members have signed live-streaming contracts with Cat Eye Company. Xiao Di live-streamed to earn some extra income whenever he had free time. Fortunately, everyone in the training room wore headphones, so they did not disturb others. But recently, the upper executives of VW have decided to set up a separate room for players to livestream.
Ever since Yin Yu joined, the number of live-streaming hours he clocked was pitiful. Thousands of admirers and fangirls were waiting eagerly under his Weibo posts. He hesitated for a moment, then turned on his webcam. He had not ended his contract with his previous company, and this month’s mandatory live-streaming hours had not been met.
Almost as soon as he turned on his webcam and sat down, fan clubs were notified of his broadcast and they rushed into his livestream like a swarm of bees, and a barrage of comments flew across his screen like snowflakes.
[Ah ah ah ah ah, hubby, you’re finally live streaming! I’ve missed you so much!]
[Cries. After two weeks, I finally saw the handsome face of my male god again.]
[Today’s God R finally remembers his million-strong harem, I’m touched beyond words.]
[I’m crying. God R wearing the VW team uniform looks so handsome. I remember when he was with QP, God R often didn’t wear QP’s red team uniform. Could it be that God R had grievances with QP?]
No, you’re overthinking it. I just prefer black. I prefer it to the point where the only color you can find in my wardrobe is black, including underwear, socks, shoes, and accessories.
Apart from those small, chaotic sponsored ads, the VW team uniform was mainly black. When Yin Yu first joined VW, he was in a hurry and only brought winter jackets and sweaters. The heating in the VW headquarters was too strong, so wearing thick clothes felt hot. He could only dig out the five black short-sleeved team uniforms issued by VW to wear. Fortunately, the quality of the team uniforms was good and comfortable to wear.
Thinking about it, he felt strangely pathetic. But it was not like he was the only one who wore team uniforms every day. That dude, Chu Ke, also swayed around in a team uniform every day, showing his strong sense of belonging to VW.
“Brother Yin, are you ready? I invited you.”
Xiao Di asked as he stuck his head out. On the other side, he had already started the livestream and logged into his account.
“I’m ready.”
The live comment section in the livestream exploded.
[Who was that just now? Was it Sister Di?]
[Everyone is in the same training room, and that soft and cute voice must be Sister Di.]
[So, is hubby going to duo queue with Sister Di tonight? Super looking forward to it!!!]
Yin Yu went in and got two tickets for ranked games. Once he was ready, he typed in the chat.
[Yeah, duo queueing with Di Di tonight. I’ll let him be carried comfortably.]
Normally, for a solo queue, you only needed to exchange one ticket for admission. However, for a duo queue, you would have to pay for the same number of tickets as the number of people at the party. Outside of training hours, Yin Yu and the team’s main accounts were handed over to the team’s logistics department to grind at the Relationship Appraisal Center. Each account had a maximum limit of one thousand ranked tickets, so they did not have to worry about playing ranked games.
During the early season Diamond ranking, there was a mix of players with various skill levels. In these few days, if you managed to reach the Grandmaster rank, you were definitely king-tier and did not have to wait in line. Therefore, those who dared to play ranked games were all professional players, streamers, trainers, and only some casual players.
[What did Brother Yin say just now? Did you guys hear it? He said he’ll carry me! Brother, don’t mind me then.]
The handsome young man grinned and moved his cursor to a card.
This amused the audience in the live broadcast room.
[Hahaha, Sister Di, don’t overdo it.]
[I can’t bear to see God R like this. If Sister Di played this, even God Chu couldn’t carry him.]
[Hahaha, did Sister Di intentionally pick a light-type ADC, which he only has a forty percent win rate with, just to showcase God R?]
Xiao Di was the first to choose and directly locked in the ADC role.
[Alright, this kid is trying to make things difficult with a light-type ADC. One would not be able to carry him without their best performance.]
The young man in black also laughed. He typed in the game, [Give me jungler and I’ll carry, thank you.] and sent the message with his seventy-five percent win rate as a water-type jungler.
“I’ll be damned?! It’s the real God R?! Did I just get on TV?”
At first, their teammates thought the two players with the “VW” prefix were impersonators, but they did not expect to encounter the real Rafael and Sister Di, making them extremely excited.
[Just checked the live broadcast room. It really is Rafael! Let’s take a screenshot with the master.]
Messages started flooding in like rockets. After he got his jungler role, Yin Yu politely replied with a “thank you” and then turned off the in-game messages.
“I’ll go get a drink.”
He did not sleep well last night, and with this arrangement, he probably would not be able to sleep until late at night. Yin Yu walked to the coffee machine and made himself a cup of strong coffee. Someone had already turned on the machine, and the coffee beans were already grinded. He did not know who it was, but Yin Yu did not hold back. He added a lot of coffee powder to make a full cup, then added half a cup of plant-based creamer and sugar, turning a good cup of black coffee into milk tea.
When he returned to his computer desk, he was almost startled by the overwhelming barrage of messages. However, to maintain his cool image in front of the live audience, he just coughed lightly and asked, [What’s going on?]
The next second, he saw the name of the opposing ADC, and his eyes narrowed.
vw.Phae.
