My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 156 I am your Wallfacer

"simple."

"To be honest, the other side does have some skills, they just lack brains."

Are you implying something about a certain team?

"No, I'm just saying that most teams are like that."

After winning 1-0.

Luo Ji, who had successfully stolen the title of the Glory Moderator of the Cube Dog Head Bar, was in a great mood and started joking with his teammates.

As an observer of the development of a single-lane Q minion.

He was actually constantly switching screens to watch his teammates' performance during the game.

Perhaps because they had just returned from vacation, both TT and the others made some mistakes in the early and mid-game, which were exploited by the opposing team in several waves.

But nothing.

After version 12.10, the margin for error in the competition is too high.

To put it simply, in the past, the focus was on seizing opportunities to kill opponents quickly, and then managing the game. Now, the focus is on both sides engaging in a fight until both are low on health, and then seeing how well they manage their remaining health.

The role of command becomes apparent.

obviously.

TT's team is full of damage dealers with almost no strong leadership skills, so it's no surprise that they couldn't beat V5, who had already been tested by T1.
Even though Rookie hasn't returned to the team yet.

Only after seeing the players finish their matches did Nofe approach Luo Ji and Casa and speak:

"In the second match later, you two should go all out and win a round cleanly first, and build up Xiao Xiang's (Xiao Xuxiu's) confidence."

first.

Xiao Xuxiu's transformation is clearly visible.

He didn't play particularly well, but he also didn't give many opportunities. Moreover, as the game progressed, it was clear that his thinking was changing, and his playing style was becoming more and more like a functional style that aimed to avoid mistakes rather than achieve great results.

In Nofe's eyes.

Nofe was pleased with this change in him, but he disliked the lingering tension and uncertainty Nofe showed after the match.

Then
Let's add fuel to the fire.

Luo Ji and Casa exchanged a glance.

Karsa doesn't care. He plays jungle regardless of whether the coach mentions it or not; he plays at his own pace.

The key point is logic.

"Coach, I also really want to finish the game quickly and go home for dinner, but you know, I just came back from vacation and my shooting touch isn't quite there yet."

"You'll get a share of the MVP bonus after the game, regardless of whether you're the winner or not."

Nofe glanced at him unexpectedly.

As someone who had worked with him for a year, how could he not know what kind of person this little bastard really was?

Interrupt directly.

"Coach, I'm really not that kind of person. I just signed a big contract." Luo Ji was still struggling.

"Double."

"Plus tonight's late-night snack, that's about enough."

"Look at what you're saying."

Right before the eyes of the V5 players, Luo Ji immediately staged a dramatic change of expression, his obsequious face making no attempt to hide it, and his tone becoming extremely polite:

"Boss, are there any requirements for this order?"

"Do you want me to cut it horizontally, vertically, or irregularly? You can even customize the design; I can satisfy your needs!"

Casa: (Squinting)

really.

Even after signing a big contract, this guy still has that money-grubbing attitude.

Faced with the double eye rolls from his own jungler and coach, Luo Ji was not embarrassed at all; on the contrary, he accepted them with great pride.

This is what it's like to be a working-class person.

As long as the money is right.

If a customer challenges my bottom line, I will lower my bottom line; if the customer dares to challenge my bottom line again, I will bow down and apologize.

It's not shameful to do anything for money.

With the help of the money-grubbing hermit, Luo Ji directly went against the top lane meta and picked the warrior Aatrox in the second game. As the saying goes, "Ten thousand immortals retreat against the current, the immortals regret but I do not."

He is skilled in the Da Me Sword Technique.

They directly broke through the defenses of Xiao Xiang, the top laner.

Middle road.

UCAL originally wanted to prove themselves in the second round.

Losing this game could be the team's problem, but losing in the mid lane is his own problem. He couldn't beat Rookie in S8, so he can't possibly be unable to beat Rookie's substitute in S12, right?

结果
The opposing mid laner played like an iron turtle shell.

The first game was Galio, the second was Lissandra. The main idea was that winning or losing the laning phase didn't matter, just maximizing functionality and preventing UCAL from using its brute force.

When he tries to find opportunities through other means...

Hit the road.

His own teammates had secretly nurtured an incredibly powerful top laner.

2:0
It ended even faster and more violently than the first game.

Even through a screen.

Luo Ji could even see the pain on the opposing mid laner's face after losing the game.

Come to think of it.

At his peak, he lost to Rookie, and after becoming a complete novice, he lost to Rookie's substitute. He also has an older brother who is a gambling addict and a parasite. It's no exaggeration to say that he had a disastrous start.

This feels so familiar.

I really like a quote from Allen:

"Mikasa, I will not go back to Anteiku. I will join the Demon Slayer Corps, become the Pirate King, activate the Rumbling, destroy the Teyvat continent, and create a Soul Society where only Rin exists."

This family truly cannot exist without my dream.

[Watching other teams' matches was so boring it made me want to fall asleep, but Dream was still thinking about how to entertain the audience.] [Indeed, with the Desert Reaper's brilliance preceding it, even an 8/0 Aatrox was so dull, let alone the other teams' Shakespearean performances.]

[Please show your soldier IDs! Also, pay attention to your facial expressions! Loyalty!!!]

After the game.

Luo Ji gave a brief interview.

Since the competition has not yet resumed, both the matches and post-match interviews are currently being conducted remotely via screens at the clubs. Although they were somewhat uninterested, they still put on a rather commercial smile.

no way.

We need to make a living, after all.

After answering the interview questions in a formulaic manner, the last question came.

"So, Luo Ji, you've already won the Spring Finals and the MSI championship right from the start of your career. How do you view the upcoming series of matches?"

Luo Ji narrowed his eyes.

This problem is much better than the one that dug a hole for him during the Spring Split; it's almost a blatant reminder.

There are actually quite a few LPL teams that have won championships all year before the S-series. Whether it was EDG in S5 or RNG in S8, they went much further than they have now.

"I don't think that short-term wins and losses can affect my mind too much."

"In fact, I greatly admire Showmaker's speech at the World Championship. Before I became a professional player, I had seen many promising players on the screen, but without exception, they all failed."

"Competitive events are a 'you either advance or you fall behind' competition. The results are influenced not only by your own performance but also by a bit of luck. You never know if that one step you took in your youth will be your only chance in this lifetime."

"So all I've done, all I've tried, is to avoid being disappointed by my past pride and complacency when I look back on my life."

Just nice words.

Of course, I have to say it.

But I can't say it too well; I should just say it close enough. That would be more in line with my status as a professional player with a low level of education.

just
What he didn't know was...

At the beginning of the season, many teams and players were observing V5's strength and wanted to see how V5 would perform this season.

Naturally, some contestants also saw Luo Ji's interview and felt a mix of emotions.

For a newcomer, this is nothing more than a way to prove themselves with fancy words.

For example, Bin, Ale, and Huxi, among others, simply looked away without any reaction, but this was true for some contestants who had already debuted and were at their peak.

These words were somewhat like Garen's whispered words, a silence that broke his defenses.

"V5, huh?"

As a professional player.

They found out the inside story and learned that V5 had signed Luo Ji to a long-term contract, similar to TES's contract with JKL, with the intention of cultivating him as the cornerstone of the team.

But what is the cornerstone of building a team in the upper unit?
Some of the older players were still hesitant, while others had a hint of eagerness in their eyes.

That night.

The influence of the hero's microphone during the competition has been ignited once again!
Welcome to the "Microphone is More Exciting than the Game" series.

Holy crap, this guy's antics have no limits!

[Playing pranks? That's just his natural abstract thinking. Didn't you see that every time he had a seizure, it was at just the right time?]

[I now believe V5 has the best team atmosphere in the LPL league. It's completely different from the abstract atmosphere of FPX in S9. Anyone who can play in this team without laughing is a genius.]

[Capable of carrying the team, delivering high-scoring performances, and providing entertaining moments for his teammates on the field, Luo Ji truly is the LPL's "Wallfacer." What wall is he facing? The Iron Wall of Jiangdong!!!]

at the same time.

At the same time that the anti-racism forum was in a frenzy of conflict.

On various online forums.

A bunch of green-plated accounts mobilized en masse, frantically checking in and spamming the comments sections of any posts related to relationship problems.

It's still the same old formula from the previous life.

They specifically hired a few "master commenters" to post insightful comments under various trending posts, using the Holy Grail legend's avatars. They would end with a comment that something was inferior to XXX (the Holy Grail) and then post a picture of the Grail.

Faced with poor Tom, whose feelings had been toyed with, she would offer up a classic line:

"These days, ladybugs end up in jail, cannon fodder ends up in the hospital, scumbags get hammered, pure love is green with envy, and simps are too lazy to even mention. It turns out that in the end, the old man was the most right."

It's not just Tieba.

Encouraged by money, many gaming content creators and costume content creators have also succumbed to the temptation of making a living, resolutely joining the Holy Grail War created by Luo Ji and becoming a glorious "Master".

Needless to say, Douyin (TikTok) is another example.

They directly leave comments under popular videos with their official account, list all their products in their official account's showcase, and make their favorites list public, which contains a bunch of high-quality, borderline videos.

Compared to spending a lot of money to hire internet celebrities for so-called advertising, this new era of advertising law focuses on low initial investment, long cycle, and unorthodox methods.

Whether it's effective is hard to say, but whether someone is sick or not is obvious at a glance. It perfectly fits the cyber-speaking habits and disease literature of the new generation of young people.

Under a series of combined offensives, the number of orders for the online store also surged.

They captured the audience's emotions on the field.

They profited by taking money from the audience offstage.

This wave.

He won twice this time, a double win!

Inside the club.

The contestants, who were taking a walk after having a late-night snack, were filled with curiosity when they saw Luo Ji, who was staring at the screen in the room and suddenly stopped moving, like a statue.

"what happened to him?"

"I think it's probably 'Post-Shovel Depression'."

"what?"

"It's because someone else stole my three-star monster with the Golden Spatula, and I couldn't handle the blow, so I got emotional."

Casa thought for a moment.

I think it's most likely to happen during the time it takes to grab a late-night snack.

"But he's laughing."

"That's because he was so angry he laughed."

"?"
