Chapter 18 - The world is too cruel to bronze players.
While he could not hear the tone he used, how could the fans be oblivious to it? Thus, the entire live broadcasting room became lively again.
【No!! You are not lacking in anything!!】
【What are you lacking? You’re lacking some skin on your face!】
【Stupid KK, wake up, what you lack the most is a conscience!】
Kang Shengzhe clicked his tongue at all the high-sounding words, smiling as a wave swept through the live broadcasting room.
“Forget it, I’m not debating with all of you. Let’s continue paying attention to Da— pay attention to the match, en— as you can see, right now, the distance between the red and blue side has closed up, and all of the heroes are alive and circling around each other. At the moment, it is unlikely for them to engage in a fight. Actually, with the game reaching this stage, the benefits that a well-off economy can bring is not as great as before, and the superiority that the blue side previously held no longer exists. If they were to fight now, whoever wins and lives can essentially use one wave of minions to push it to the crystal nexus. Now, where are the minions, oh~ the minions are in the middle.”
The live broadcasting room responded quickly.
【What did you just say? Were you about to say that you were going to pay attention to Da Ji!】
【Really shameless!】
【Everyone is looking at the match but you are looking at the girl instead! Excessive.】
Kang Shengzhe smiled and continued commentating: “The red side has gathered in the bushes by the middle lane. The blue side is also coming over, both sides are rubbing shoulders without actually doing anything. What are they waiting for? Oh! The blue side is also gathering, and now they’re waiting for their teammate! Are they grouping? Are they going to group or not? OK, they grouped!”
In the late game, a team fight was a decisive battle. Once a hero died, the respawn timer would be more than forty seconds. Safe to say, once the fight was over, whichever side had someone remaining would be the victors.
Moved by KK’s commentary, the live broadcast room were also excited.
【They’re fighting!】
【Thank gods it’s finally here, will they be able to make a comeback?!】
Kang Shengzhe did not stop explaining: “Red side’s Bai Qi has rushed out! Yes! Blue side’s positioning isn’t quite right and now they have been scattered; blue side is slightly anxious and the red side’s Hou Yi is seizing the opportunity to damage his opponents like crazy. Blue side’s King Lanling is routing around to assassinate him, and Hou Yi has no place left to run! He’s turning back to fight, and both of their healths are dropping! Who will grab the upper hand! Is it Hou Yi or King Lanling! Oh— they exchanged!”
Without Da Ji intervening in the single-player duel like she had previously, the final outcome of their fight was that both red side’s Hou Yi and blue side’s King Lanling perished.
But a few seconds after red side’s Hou Yi collapsed to the ground, he suddenly reappeared at the place he fell. Turning, he plunged into the river’s brushes to enter the battle.
— The ‘love running’ Hou Yi used his resurrection armour!
“Well done! The battle still continues! Red side’s Bai Qi can no longer keep fighting, but before he died, he had hindered two enemy heroes. The opponents are all at half health, and red side’s Da Ji and Wang Zhaojun are attacking from both sides, Wang Zhaojun’s area of effect abilities are very strong, and will she catch someone this time! She caught someone! Double kill!”
Even though Wang Zhaojun broke through with her double kill, she was murdered by the blue side’s Hou Yi and Zhen Ji once she turned around. Da Ji offed Zhen Ji with the full set of her abilities. In a blink of an eye, only three people remained in the aftermath of the fierce team battle: mainly red side’s Da Ji and Hou Yi and blue side’s Hou Yi.
Familiar characters, a familiar scenario; it was like déjà vu all over again.
However, even though it was familiar scene, the tension was multiplied.
Kang Shengzhe said: “Right now, every second counts, there is no time to pause! Both sides’ constitutions are very fragile, and who will kill who!!”
While he was speaking, everyone was staring fixedly at the screen, and in the game, the two Hou Yi fired their arrows while kiting one another, and Dai Ji fired her hearts nonstop. In a split second, Kang Shengzhe raised his voice: “Two against one and with the edge of numbers, they can take him down, they definitely can, they did it!!”
The words had just landed when the red side’s Hou Yi and the blue side’s Hou Yi both collapsed to the ground. The fight between the two marksman, which was filled with flint and sparks, had been brought to a close by tragic means of mutually assured destruction. Da Ji, with half her health left, was the only surviving person in the entire field.
&#k3010;Holy!! They won!!&#k3011;
&#k3010;Goddamn, they really made a comeback!!!&#k3011;
&#k3010;AHHHHHHHH the excitement!!&#k3011;
The excitement in the live broadcast room only lasted for a second because in the next instant, accompanying the sound of the blue side’s Hou Yi falling to the ground, another sound effect landed on the place where he died.
He resurrected!
The blue side’s Hou Yi, also had a resurrection armour!!
The live broadcasting exploded again.
【Shit!!!】
【Victory was at hand...】
【Life is like a fucking shit basin.】
【... Beseeching red side’s psychological shadow.】
With the resurrection of blue side’s Hou Yi, it seemed like it was the end of an era for the red side. Under the same circumstances where they were trying to lower each other’s health, Da Ji was really not blue side’s Hou Yi’s opponent. The difference in their output was too great; who would lose and who would win was obvious at a glance.
Kang Shengzhe’s voice became louder as he shouted: “There’s still time! Leave!”
The Da Ji on the screen seemed to share the same sentiment. When Hou Yi’s resurrection armour activated, his first reaction was to retreat to the side. However, Hou Yi’s attack range was too wide, and even though she retreated, she was still hit by Hou Yi’s arrows. But Da Ji’s motive was clear, she held onto the shred of her health and hid in the bush.
When the blue side’s Hou Yi lost sight of Da Ji, he hesitated beside the bush.
At this moment, Da Ji seized the opportunity to accurately throw out all her skills!!
Taking down the enemy Hou Yi in one burst!!
Kang Shengzhe’s voice was filled with excitement: “Nice!!”
When the low health Da Ji counterattacked, the entire live broadcasting room also cheered. However, when they had yet to finish cheering, the enemy Hou Yi’s delayed auto attack fell on Da Ji’s body.
Only one.
Although it was only one auto attack, it was enough to kill the Da Ji was clinging onto the last fraction of her health.
Da Ji fell to the ground in vain, and the victory that was right in front of her could not take off and fly.
There was a moment of silence in the live broadcasting room. After the silence, a violent bout of chest thumping and feet stamping broke out.
【You have got to be! Fucking! Kidding! Me!】
【Ahhhhh my heart hurts for my Da Ji! My heart hurts for my Sister Liang!】
【Even a TV show doesn’t have this many reversals!】
【This broadcast is wringing and hurting my heart!!!】
Kang Shengzhe was also rendered speechless for a while. The live broadcasting room had followed with an uproar, but everyone was staring at on-screen Da Ji with a heart full of complicated feelings. The slender, fox-eared lady had fallen to the ground, motionless, looking extremely innocent and pitiful.
But all of a sudden, Da Ji disappeared.
A second later, a whole and immaculate hero landed.
The world was quiet. The fans opened their narrowed eyes, and their ears rang with Kang Shengzhe’s cry of pleasant surprise. From the bottom of his heart, and sincerely, Kang Shengzhe said: “Handsome! This entire fight was played very handsomely!”
Yes, no one could have thought that after the both the red and blue side’s Hou Yi used their resurrection armour, their Da Ji would also pull out a resurrection armour!!
The third resurrection armour!! And the third and last resurrection armour that decided the outcome of the game!!
Everyone else had died, and only Da Ji, who was leading the minions down the middle lane, remained. This game was fated to end in a victory!!!
The live broadcasting room was so affected by the countless numbers of reversals that they could not stop flooding the screen.
【Ahhhhh who could have thought that I would be so excited watching a silver division match!!!】
【Holy shit, I’m so excited my hands are shaking!!!】
【God damned resurrection armour! This wave was truly spectacular!!!】
【This is probably the most delicious comeback I have witnessed this year.】
【Best Female Lead goes to Sister Liang’s Da Ji, thanks!!!】
On the screen, Da Ji was bouncing happily as she led the minions to take down two consecutive towers. On her lonesome, she shattered the opponent’s crystal nexus without anyone hindering her. At the moment where the nexus exploded, Da Ji’s silhouette looked particularly delicate, and yet, it was extremely handsome.
Kang Shengzhe immediately stopped spectating the game and opened up his list of friends. Little Angel Liang Liang’s status became online.
【KKKKKK hurry up and invite her!】
【Don’t just stare blankly! Hurry up and invite!!】
【I hate that I can’t kick KK with my foot, can your hands move faster a little! Hurry and invite her, invite her!】
The audience, who had previously ridiculed Kang Shengzhe for constantly thinking about Liang Liang, now hated the fact that they couldn’t help him invite her, and the change came so fast it made the other fans want to laugh and cry.
“What are you so anxious for~ You really have no conscience; now that you’ve seen how handsome someone else is, you no longer want me? To be very fair, I’m pretty anxious as well.”
Smiling, Kang Shengzhe tried to send an invitation, and the entire live broadcasting room were holding their breaths in anticipation as they waited for You Liangxing to accept it. However, no one could have expected that when Kang Shengzhe pressed “invite”, the system would prompt: The other party does not meet your ranking requirements.
Kang Shengzhe: “.....”
Kang Shengzhe looked at his rank. He was currently in Bronze II. 【Little Angel Liang Liang】was silver, but after the previous match ended in a victory, the account had been promoted to gold.
Kang Shengzhe never thought that there would be a day where he would lament that his rank was too low.
“Seriously, King’s Glory, this game... it’s really too unfriendly to bronze players... it makes me so angry.”
The audience were going to laugh themselves to death.
【Pei! That’s not what you said when you were abusing bronze players last time!!】
【KK can you at least want some face!!】
【How dare you be angry!! Among all the anchors, you are the one who laughs at bronze players the most!】
Kang Shengzhe refuted it: “Nonsense, who dares to laugh at bronze players, do you know how bitter the bronze players would be in their hearts if they heard that!” As Kang Shengzhe was saying that, he entered a queue.
“I’m still lacking four stars to enter silver division, I need to hurry up and rank or else later...”
Although Kang Shengzhe did not finish his sentence, the live audience filled up the rest of the blank for him.【Or else, later, Sister Liang would have ran away.】
【Hahahahaha, then hurry up, if you keep stalling, she’s going to go offline.】
Kang Shengzhe chuckled, “It’s fine, I’m very fast. Bronze games are pretty easy; I only need a few minutes for each match.”
The live broadcasting room’s screen was going to burst from all the flooding. 【Oi oi oi, didn’t you just say that bronze players are feeling bitter in their hearts, and yet you’re laughing at them again!? It’s like you’re asking to be face slapped quickly!】
【KK really likes hitting himself until his face is as swollen as an obese man’s.】
【Face slapped KK truly has a magnificent style that is unmatched in his generation.】
Kang Shengzhe was lost in his thoughts. Once he entered the hero selection interface, he chose his hero in less than a second. And when the match officially started, he typed in all chat: — Quickly surrender, or I will leak the spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War.
The live broadcasting room twitched. 【Ahhhhhhh this stupid KK!!!!】
【Can you stop being so poisonous ah!!!】
【You may as well blow them up directly!!】
Kang Shengzhe played four games in succession and easily won them. When he finally attained the fourth star he needed to promote to the silver division, he whistled as he sent the online【Little Angel Liang Liang】an invite.
T/N: The translator was a series of dying whale noises, first from the in-game terminology and then because she was laughing too hard at the audience’s comments and KK.
She imagines KK going: “if you want to continue fighting, I will give you a real war to think about.”
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
