My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 182 Modern-Day Causality Weapon
"Mebius!"

"Mebius once again opted for a direct confrontation, using an EQ combo to knock up three LNG players!"

"With the prince's ultimate ability trapping her, Lissandra made a perfect entry into the fray, and Bielvis and Sivir unleashed a barrage of attacks under the protection of their carries."

"V5 delivered a dominant performance in this match!"

comfortable.

I feel so comfortable.

As a professional commentator, Tongxi thought she had long since become indifferent to the competition. You can say that these esports commentators are unprofessional, but the fact that they can sit in this position means that they must have had a passion for LOL at the beginning.

The numbness of the competition gradually brought their emotions back to normal.

But V5 has emerged.

What they belatedly realized was not that they were numb to the game, but rather that they were numb to the unchanging LPL coaching staff.

Players are afraid to use new heroes, coaches are afraid to pick new heroes, and the same few heroes come and go in the entire competition.

Starting with version 12.10.

With the increased margin for error, teams have gradually started experimenting with different heroes and team compositions, which has also allowed many commentators to slowly rediscover their passion.

But those heroes.

But none of them are as eye-catching as V5, which directly presented a complete set of accessories.

To put it in simpler terms...

It's like QB always gets high-quality original works but makes the worst PPTs, while true fans all hope that these high-quality original works can be given to Thunderfire Sword.

The same is true now.

The rest of you teams can continue playing your old tricks. Leave the new stuff to V5. This kind of thing that's beyond our understanding should really be left to the "young people" to play.

【Niubi! 】

Although the EQ flash combo doesn't do much damage, you can't help how cool it looks!

This maneuver is quite necessary; an EQ flash into a super combo almost guarantees a successful hit, while separating the two makes them easier to dodge.

The last time I saw the prince was back when Gufite was still playing.

[I wish I had a top laner like my dream player in ranked games. He's useful when I help him, and he doesn't cause us to fall apart even if I don't. He can also initiate team fights like crazy. My dream player is definitely one of those.]

This whole game.

In fact, the highest damage dealers, Pierce and Sivir, actually performed rather unremarkable in terms of sheer impact. Only when you look at the stats after the game can you realize how much damage they actually dealt.

Especially Wheel Mom.

This hero deals damage subtly and gradually; the W skill's spinning wheel looks like a toy, but it actually causes health to drop rapidly.

And here, LNG is the one being treated.

The players were already exhausted and chose to give up. Doinb even sighed and took his hands off the keyboard.

He could be sure that the opposing top laner was the same type of player as him, but the problem was that his type of player was much stronger in the top lane than in the mid lane.

Because it's only natural for the top laner to build tank items, while it's inappropriate for the mid laner to engage in ganking.

Even if you get instantly killed.

If you organize a group well, you can earn a compliment like, "With your imposing presence and murderous aura, you have rendered meritorious service in protecting the emperor."

V5 successfully secured the LNG contract.

They took down the opposing team in a lightning-fast 2-0 victory.

During this period, Doinb still had ambition. His performance in various best-of-five series in the original World Championship playoffs, which was part of his determination, showed that he still had a burning passion.

Unfortunately, what brought them success also brought them failure. Ah Le, who saved his team from dire straits, also sent his teammates to their doom in a crucial game.

This completely shattered Doinb's fighting spirit.

And then.
These are stories of well-known streamers and professional players either paying fines or going to jail.

"It's not easy."

"Indeed, we almost missed lunchtime, but luckily we made it in time."

Karsa interrupted Luo Ji's boasting. Compared to WBG, LNG's biggest problem right now is that none of their lanes feel threatening. They all rely on slightly novel ideas to widen their advantage, which naturally makes the opponent play very aggressively.

Perhaps it was for this reason that they began to reflect deeply on their mistakes.

A few years later.

LNG will then become known throughout the league as a "turtle team," focusing on defense and counter-attacks.

"Brother Chicken must be very happy."

"How could I not be happy? He just drank the tea that was so hot in one gulp, and he even pretended to be burned on camera. I saw it all."

Luo Ji and Casa were whispering to each other.

But they forgot.

The headphones hanging around his neck were connected to a voice headset, and Rookie's face turned red immediately after being scalded by the tea.

That's how people are; when they're showing off, they lose all sense of reason. Luckily, the tea prepared by the staff was hot, but not scalding hot.

otherwise
Right now, the story might unfold as follows: a cup of tea, a second-degree burn, a top-tier hospital, four bottles of saline solution, five hundred yuan, feeling completely lost, seven days in the hospital, receiving condolences from all sides, nine-tenths improvement, and ten-tenths relief.

Luo Ji will not attend the post-match interview.

There are still plenty of monkeys and their offspring these days. He doesn't want to participate in an interview and be over-interpreted, only to have a boomerang come at him a few years later when he's not in good shape.

Although I'm not afraid.

But I also feel that it's unnecessary.

Luo Ji is now trying to cultivate a mature and stable persona.

You know Duncan, right?
In the NBA, no matter how others provoke him, he can always remain calm and composed, as if he's a beat slower than expected. That shows great composure. Luo Ji feels he should develop in that direction as well. As for the hero's microphone...
He believes that people can occasionally have a second personality.
After consecutive victories against EDG, WBG, and LNG, there are very few truly formidable teams left. JDG is one, TES is another, and even the rest, such as OMG, BLG, and UP, are just easy targets.

Correct.

S12's BLG is the biggest scam.

Before the middle of the year, it was fine if you bought things that were the opposite of what your uncle bought, so why is it not okay after the middle of the year?

Because the uncle has become an aunt.

At the post-match press conference, Doinb, as the spokesperson for LNG, was also attacked by a barrage of questions because of the loss.

Competitive events.

It has always been known for its results-oriented approach, regardless of how you perform in the game.

But if you lose, you lose.

Doinb understands the winner-takes-all and loser-eat-dust principle very well, but after being asked repeatedly why he lost, he still felt somewhat annoyed:

Why did we lose?

"In fact, we have done our best in today's game. The players gave their all, and the coaches worked diligently. It is hard to point out any major mistakes we made today. If we had to answer that question..."

"Then, the only explanation might be that the enemy top laner is an alien."

"It's that simple."

LNG's post-match interview once again propelled Luo Ji's fame into the spotlight.

He also had his own agenda. On one hand, he wanted to subtly promote Luo Ji during the interview to gain favor, because he didn't believe Rookie would stay at V5 forever, as the salary clearly didn't meet Rookie's expectations.

same.

On the other hand, Luo Ji's increasingly impressive performance has made more and more contestants eager to try their luck.

Don't think that there are no super teams in the League of Legends scene. When Harden forms a team, voluntarily taking pay cuts is just basic practice. Not to mention James Harden, there have been many instances of him joining teams on minimum salary.

Dude, your imagination can't beat mine now.

When your buddy gives you a hand and makes everyone else annoy you to death, isn't that a kind of strategy?
Doinb succeeded.

After the competition, Luo Ji's phone was flooded with messages, almost like it was about to explode. And it wasn't just the other contestants who were sending messages.

A bunch of female internet celebrities who somehow got his account are also desperately trying to add him as a friend.

"Are they crazy? How did these people get my contact information?"

Luo Ji looked worried.

He used to envy this way of life when he was an ordinary person, because in his previous life he was the kind of semi-reclusive person who would disappear for half a day without any information on his phone when he reconnected to the internet.

But now.

When he actually faced this situation, he only felt annoyed.

"That's normal. Usually, people use several phones and several accounts. They don't add too many people to their own private phone. If you use the same phone and account to add everyone, it would be strange if you didn't get bombarded with messages."

Rookie laughed at the sight, thinking to himself, "You little rascal, you actually fell into this trap."

Xiao Yan dared not speak.

Although his phone receives a barrage of private messages from online celebrities, everyone knows exactly what these celebrities are thinking.

PPGOD, needless to say, fell into complete silence.

His phone was really quiet.

"Oh right, don't you have a secretary? Just give her the job. You can also get yourself a phone and an account. For the less important messages, just let her pretend to be you and reply to them," Casa suddenly suggested.

"Secretaries do this kind of work?" Luo Ji frowned.

"Otherwise what? Otherwise why did you hire a secretary?" Casa complained.

"Because she has big breasts," he said matter-of-factly.

The rest of V5: ???
With his teammates' prompting, Luo Ji finally started calling for his secretary. Although he had initially thought that the secretary would handle things when needed and just cough and cough when not, he later realized that he had overthought it.

He spends most of his time at the club and simply doesn't have time to think about those other things.

After arriving at the agreed-upon place with the secretary.

Luo Ji then noticed that his carefully dressed secretary looked even prettier and more energetic than before, but her face was always filled with a sorrowful expression.

"Boss, you specifically called me out just to increase my workload?"

Lu Xuanxuan felt extremely wronged.

Women are a strange species. Because of her appearance, the men who accepted her resume either thought she was pretty and had ulterior motives, or they wanted to exploit her like a corporate slave.

Choosing Luo Ji's company might not be without its own problems; the boss might be ruthless, and it's hard to say who's at a disadvantage if someone gets taken advantage of.

but.
She's been here for so long, but Luo Ji still treats her like a businessperson. This makes her, who was always worried about being sexually harassed, feel left out and start to doubt her own charm.

"That's not it."

"Ok?"

"I'd like to go out for a change of pace, but it's not cost-effective to go alone."

"boss!!!"

After teasing the secretary, Luo Ji got into the car with her. As a business necessity, the new company now had a car, though it wasn't expensive.

Because I don't have much spare money.

Only by truly participating in the business of starting a company can one truly understand this.

Luo Ji finally understood.

These days, anyone who can casually produce millions in liquid funds is truly a genius, and people are beginning to understand the true value of Lei Jun's title as the "Cash King."

At least for him, his money was almost always transferred out the moment it arrived, as he kept expanding his investment scale.

I'm really broke right now.

It wasn't until after dinner, when Luo Ji was planning to go shopping and buy a new phone, that he naturally took his secretary's hand.

He doesn't know how to date.

I don't plan to spend time talking about it.

Ninety-five percent of adults who are reborn will not choose to believe in love; they might as well directly show their strength and make others submit to them.

The secretary visibly stiffened the moment her hand was taken, but she only blushed slightly and did not resist.

Before she could even start to think, Luo Ji's voice came through again:

"What's the situation at the factory?"

Upon hearing that it was official business...

Lu Xuanxuan's eyes cleared briefly, and she replied:
"We have expanded the scale according to your plan, which includes ensuring that 10% of the employees are special employees with some physical defects. The workload is not too heavy at present, and they are all very accepting of it."

Regarding their boss's act of kindness.

Not yet completely shedding her naive and silly college student image, she naturally wholeheartedly agreed.

Without needing Luo Ji to ask further, once the conversation had started, she continued speaking as if giving a work report:
"They allocated a space for our youth training program, and we've started initial recruitment and pre-registration. Surprisingly, more people are registering for Honor of Kings than for League of Legends."

Listen to this.

Luo Ji fell into thought.

The biggest reason for the lack of new talent in the LPL, besides the game being too old, is that the new generation of players are mostly mobile gamers, with only a very small number being PC gamers.

Console gamers in PC games can stand out from their peers, remaining independent in their class.

This is the general trend.

After all, not everyone has a computer, but everyone does have a mobile phone.

"Are coaches and retired athletes easy to find in this field?"

"It's easy to find, or rather, the competition is quite fierce."

Regarding honors.

A whole bunch of domestic games combined can't beat Honor of Kings, but when it comes to international influence, Honor of Kings is definitely a weakling.

LOL has declined to this extent; a top-paid player from the LPL could be worth an entire team in Honor of Kings.

Back then, OMG's mid laner was Leng Shao.

After retiring, I had considered switching to playing Honor of Kings, but after learning about the salary there, I gave up without hesitation, feeling that it was better to just relax and do nothing.

He was deep in thought.

The secretary paused for a moment, and only continued speaking after he came to his senses:
"And boss, what you said about setting up an MCN, and the list of people you provided—can those people really become famous? Something feels off about them all?"

As a time traveler.

He had no recollection of some of the earlier internet celebrities, such as those from 22 or 23, but he vividly remembered some from 24.

For example, Wang Po from Kaifeng, K Zong from Douyin, and hairstylist Xiaohua, etc., are all currently only a handful of fans. The only problem is that it's hard to see what qualities they have that could make them popular.

Luo Ji waved his hand.

He wanted to try everything; if he succeeded, great, if he failed, it didn't matter, but there was one thing he absolutely had to achieve!

"Nothing else matters."

"It's the list I gave you before, Wang Xiaoyu on it. You must help me keep her in check."

"She will be our financial weapon and also our causal weapon. Even if we have to spend money to support her, we can't just leave her out there. Remember, she is a terrifying existence comparable to Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Cheng Yu."

Faced with Luo Ji's sudden seriousness, Lu Xuanxuan simply nodded as if she understood, and a face involuntarily flashed through her mind.

She was a reasonably good-looking, amateur financial blogger.

However, causal weapons and such...
This.

Is this really about creating internet celebrities?
