LPL History

Chapter 176 The Demon Star Descends, the Khan Arrives, the Crownless Plague God Breaks the Golden Body

Zhou Li was mentally prepared for Tabe's straightforwardness and could only say:

"If you have a suitable jungler, you can also introduce him."

Tabe shook his head: "Then I don't."

Zhou Li's forehead vein throbbed, and he was about to give Tabe a whack on the head when the little beast spoke up:

"Oh right, the team also got a top laner, he just arrived at the club."

Zhou Li was taken aback.

The little beast noticed Zhou Li's surprise and explained:

"This was the player the club decided on right after the Spring Split ended."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man who looked a bit simple-minded walked in through the door.

However, upon seeing the person who had arrived, Zhou Li was terrified and his face paled with fear!

"Damn, how could I forget about this!"

The little beast began to introduce:

"Let me introduce you. This is a player from South Korea named Kim Dong-ha, game ID: khan."

Khan greeted everyone with a sheepish smile in his broken Chinese, which he had just learned:

"Fighting is good, damn Khan."

Everyone showed a friendly attitude towards the new member's arrival, but Zhou Li felt a chill run down his spine.

Who is Khan?
Harry Kane, the eternal king of esports, is said to be plagued by bad luck. Whichever team he joins is destined to miss out on the championship.

This analogy is even somewhat inappropriate. Harry Kane should be considered the Khan of football. After all, the original can't beat the counterfeit. Kane eventually broke the curse and won the championship, while Khan never won one before he went to serve in the military.

Zhou Li lived a life of constant anxiety, weathering countless storms, yet always managing to reach the other side with unwavering determination.

But this time, upon seeing this talented top laner, he panicked for the first time, and his belief in winning the championship wavered for the first time.

How could I have forgotten that Khan would be joining WE.A?

If I had known, I would have stopped it even at the cost of my life.

Fortunately, he made ample preparations in advance and strengthened the team's combat power. Otherwise, facing Samsung White, the strongest team in the history of the S-series, plus Khan's debuff, they would have been defeated immediately!
Since Khan had already joined WE.A, he had no choice but to accept it. After all, the contract had already been signed, and he couldn't just kick him out now.

This is far too cruel for a nineteen-year-old Khan.

"Alright, everyone get acquainted and let's start training according to Coach Tabe's training plan. There are only ten days left until the LPL Summer Split, and the competition will only get more intense. I hope everyone can perform well."

After delivering a rather pointless summary, Zhou Li hurriedly left the training room.

Just now, his historical records had reacted quite strongly, probably because some new content had been unlocked, but the Khan happened to arrive, so he didn't have time to look at it.

The Rites of Zhou opens the Records of the Grand Historian.

[Your decree to wash his hair saddened the Sima family, extinguishing all their joy. From then on, they closed their hearts and became taciturn. But every cloud has a silver lining. With his nature restrained, he abandoned worldly thoughts and focused solely on the battlefield. Ultimately, he forged a heart of stone and transformed into a master archer.]

[Gained Ability: A sunny and cheerful young man. Hero: Demon Clown proficiency reached perfect level.]

[A sunny and cheerful young man: You always radiate a sunny aura, making those around you feel warm and comfortable. With you around, conflicts among team members are greatly reduced, and at the same time, the outside world's perception of you is significantly enhanced.]

Upon seeing the abilities provided by Sima the Elder, Zhou Li's face broke into a bright and cheerful smile.

This ability is very similar to the charisma ability from Season 2, so Zhou Li didn't hesitate and directly chose to inherit the charisma ability again.

In Season 3, he became a foul-mouthed knight, but as everyone knows, Zhou Li's heart has always been sunny, warm, kind, humble, and amiable.

He didn't have a choice before; if he could, he would want to be a good person.

When Zhou Li returned to the training room, everyone in the room felt that the room had suddenly become several degrees brighter!

"What's going on? Is it dawn?"

"Suddenly, I feel warm and cared for. What's going on?"

"Holy crap, Zhou, I think I saw a halo above your head!"

"Are you hallucinating? Hallelujah!"

Zhou Li looked up.

In 2012, he was Zhou Sheng.

In 2013, he was Zhou Chu.

In 2014, it seems he will become Zhou Su.

"May the Lord bless you, my children, Amen."

Tabe leaned closer and said:

“Brother Zhou, I suddenly remembered that there is indeed a support player we can find. He happens to be online right now. We can observe him first, and if he is suitable, we can invite him to the club for a trial.”

Zhou Li nodded: "Okay."

As per Zhou Li's request, Tabe had his eye on a top 50 ranked support player in the Chinese server.

This player mainly plays Blitzcrank and Thresh, and the fact that he was able to reach the top 50 in the Chinese server with support champions proves that he is indeed quite skilled.

Zhou Li and Tabe had been sitting in front of the computer observing all day when Zhou Li finally spoke:

"How old is this person?"

He had never seen the other person's ID before.

"I think it was sixteen."

Zhou Li nodded and continued:
"Let him come for a trial tomorrow. There are still quite a few problems. You used to be a support, so point out his problems and see how he reacts. Actually, his skill level is beyond question at this rank. The key is his personality."

Tabe nodded:

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I'm good at getting people to break down their defenses."
-
JY City.

Shi Senming looked at the message in the chat box and shouted excitedly, attracting the attention of everyone in the internet cafe.

"Damn it, Shi Senming, what are you doing? You scared me!"

The classmate next to him grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Shi Senming wore an excited smile.

"WE invited me for a tryout."

"Really?" The classmate looked incredulous and peeked over to look at Shi Senming's screen.

"Could it be a scam?"

"No way?" Shi Senming himself was a little unsure.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his earphones being suddenly ripped off.

"Shi Senming! You're getting more and more audacious! Skipping class to come to an internet cafe, huh! And standing here shouting, are you afraid I won't be able to find you?! You've really gone too far!!"

Feeling the sharp pain in his ear, Shi Senming's face instantly turned pale.

"And you, you're his classmate, right? The teacher called to tell me you two skipped class, and your parents are coming right away!"

Seeing that his classmate was also being dragged up by his mother, Shi Senming quickly spoke up:

"Mom, let me explain..."

"What are you trying to explain! I've worked so hard to send you to school, and you skip class to go to internet cafes! Do you even care about me as your mother anymore? Do you think you've let us down?!"

"Mom! I'm having a trial today! A professional team wants me to be a professional player! I can make money playing games!"

Shi Senming's words did not win his mother's understanding; instead, they made her even angrier.

"You're hopeless! You're a hopeless child!"
-
The first thing Zhou Li did after waking up was to give that old scoundrel Sima a whack on the head.

"Sima, you old scoundrel, go wash your hair."

Sima the Old Thief's body twitched.

"Who washes their hair in the morning?"

Did you shower last night?

"No."

"Then why don't you go wash up?"

Sima, the old scoundrel, covered his head and got out of bed helplessly. Under Zhou Li's supervision, he washed his head clean.

After seeing Zhou Li leave, Sima Laozei took out his phone, logged into the Anti-Japanese Bar, and then posted a message using a secondary account.

What are your thoughts on Zhou Li, the jungler for WE.A?

Within just a few minutes, the post received dozens of replies.

Sima Laozei didn't expect Zhou Li to generate such a large amount of discussion on the anti-Japanese forum.

However, when I clicked in and read the comments, the sky fell down.

[I almost forgot about Zhou Li if you hadn't mentioned him. He's a really awesome player, and he's about to play in the LPL. I'm looking forward to it.]

I still remember his Lee Sin; he was so cool. I've tried to recreate his plays several times, but I can't quite get it right.

If he can play with this much confidence in the LPL, he'd be the best jungler.

Doesn't anyone think Zhou Li is handsome? He stands out among a bunch of internet addicts.

[Indeed, haha, I didn't expect anyone else to pay attention to his looks like I did.]

Sima Laozei's hand was trembling as he held the phone.

He couldn't understand why public opinion on the internet could change so quickly.

Before, everyone was criticizing Zhou Li for embarrassing WE, right?

And is this supposed to be resistance?
When did people on the anti-racism forum become so polite and so fond of praising others?

Sima Laozei felt that either he had gone mad or the world had gone mad.

"It must be because he washed his hair too much and got water in his brain..."

Zhou Li had already arrived at the training room.

When Tabe saw Zhou Li, he immediately came over.

"Brother Zhou, the support player from yesterday probably won't be able to come. His parents are quite opposed to it. I called and talked to them, but they still don't agree."

Hearing Tabe's words, Zhou Li didn't pay much attention, simply nodded, and said:

"Then forget it. You can't force a relationship."

It's perfectly normal for parents not to let their children play esports, and he couldn't say much about it.

Tabe nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll give him a reply."

Zhou Li walked to his seat and sat down, then heard Tabe making a phone call.

“Shi Senming, we spoke with your parents yesterday, and they are indeed quite resistant, so…”

"and many more!"

Zhou Li stood up and walked over to Tabe in a few steps.

"Who are you calling?"

"It's that support player."

"The support player we watched yesterday was Shi Senming?"

Tabe looked somewhat puzzled and nodded.

Zhou Li snatched Tabe's phone and said:

"Xiaoming, don't worry, I'll take care of your parents' problems. Even if the sky falls down today, your brother Zhou will make sure you become a professional player!"

Zhou Li hung up the phone and shouted:
"Zhu Kai! Pack your bags, come with me to Guangdong."

Zhou Li hadn't really thought about Xiao Ming before, since in his memory, Xiao Ming hadn't even started working yet.

But now that we've met, it might just be fate.

Although Xiaoming hasn't even played professionally yet, and it will probably take a long time to train him even if he comes, it doesn't matter. What he values ​​most is...
It's cheap and obedient.

Xiaoming is one of the support players he admires the most.

This does not refer to how strong his personal abilities are.

Just the fact that he has been able to support UZI for so long without ever complaining shows that his personality is good to an abnormal degree.
