Becoming the richest man by playing games that help cure depression

Chapter 42 Magic Trick, The Ultimate Reversal of the Devil Clown

A rustling sound came from the bushes, and time and time again, Amumu's heart jumped into his throat.

Another sound came, and he turned around abruptly, but behind him there was only the wind blowing the leaves back and forth, nothing at all.

"Am I just too nervous and hallucinating?"

Amumu wiped his big eyes with his bandaged hand, sighed deeply, and turned around to continue walking.

But just as he turned around, a huge clown head suddenly sprang up from beside his feet.

A bizarrely colored face was almost pressed against his, and a series of chilling laughs instantly echoed throughout the jungle: "Hehehehe... Hahahaha..."

Not only was Amumu stunned into a daze, but Liu Ming, who was watching the live stream on the screen, was also startled.

He was so startled that he nearly fell off the bench, instinctively yelling, "Holy crap! You scared the hell out of me!"

"Li Zhujian, you bastard! You utterly ungrateful wretch!"

"Fuck your grandpa Li Zhujian!"

"Holy crap, that scared the hell out of me!"

"Li Zhujian, you will be punished by heaven tonight!"

"You damned old thief!"

The previously quiet live chat exploded instantly. The screen was filled with asterisks indicating prohibited words.

Shark's keyword blocking system is really effective, otherwise this League of Legends livestream would have become...

The "Beautiful Chinese Language Exchange Meeting" was even more lively than the Chinese Poetry Competition.

The jumpy camera work in the promotional video was all Li Zhujian's clever idea.

He loves doing this kind of thing, and it actually works.

Seeing the screen filled with comments cursing him, Lee Joo-jae clutched his stomach and slammed his fist on the table, almost knocking over the female host next to him.

He couldn't stop laughing; he had to force himself to keep from bursting out. Not only the audience, but even the female host next to him was startled and nearly dropped the microphone.

In the promotional video, a scary box suddenly pops out, and Amumu is so frightened that he collapses and his legs go weak.

He screamed and scrambled backward, staggering and falling headlong into the bushes.

The tangled vines tripped him, but he didn't dare stop for a second—he was so frightened that he forgot the pain and got up to keep running.

As soon as he took a step, a strange "giggle giggle giggle" burst out, and another clown head popped out, scaring Amumu into tears.

He scrambled and crawled away. With three sharp "whoosh" sounds, three throwing knives grazed his feet and embedded themselves in the ground, instantly withering and rotting the grass and trees.

Anyone with eyes could see that the throwing knife was coated with deadly poison.

With a loud thud, Amumu bumped his head, which throbbed with pain. Looking up, he saw a strange figure slowly emerging from the shadows.

Wearing a red and black clown hat, a playing card vest, and exaggerated pointed shoes under baggy wide-legged trousers, his pale face was contorted with a blood-red grin—it was none other than the devilish clown, Saco.

Amumu's legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up and could only slide backwards along the ground, tears streaming down her face.

The clown grinned as he approached, slowly raising the poisoned dagger in his hand.

In Amumu's eyes, the shadow of the dagger grew larger and larger, and it looked like it was about to stab him.

The viewers in front of the screen clenched their fists, holding their breath for the poor, weak little guy.

At this critical moment, Amumu was so frightened that he suddenly became incredibly fierce.

"Ah—" A roar shook the surroundings.

With a loud bang, the enormous golden magic seal exploded beneath him.

It's the ultimate skill, the Curse of the Mummy!

Countless bandages burst forth from the ground with tremendous force, instantly binding the clown tightly, like countless hands gripping him and squeezing him relentlessly.

The clown's maniacal laughter emanated from within the bandages, mixed with the cracking sound of bones breaking.

His body was crushed by the bandages, and the shrill laughter gradually faded away. The clown became a cold corpse, the dagger clattering to the ground, his eyes drooping.

Amumu let out a long sigh of relief, and the audience also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he unleashed his ultimate move at the last moment and killed the Joker.

He brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, stood up weakly, and just wanted to get out of this terrifying forest as soon as possible.

Everyone thought it was over, but an unexpected event suddenly occurred.

Despite being wrapped in heavy bandages, the clown's eyes opened again!

With a loud bang, smoke exploded, and three startling boxes popped out of the corpse, instantly surrounding Amumu.

Immediately afterwards, a gleaming dagger was pressed against Amumu's neck, and a sinister, mocking voice came from behind him:

"Hehehe, how about a magic trick?"

Thump! The scene abruptly ended.

Liu Ming's dormitory was deathly silent. His brothers were sweating profusely, and Liu Ming got goosebumps all over his body.

The comments section was quiet for a moment, then exploded completely the next second.

"Fuck your grandpa Li Zhujian, you old bastard!"

"You scoundrel, you almost scared your father to death!"

"What kind of underworld hero is this?!"

"That's so damn ridiculous!"

"Could this voice acting have been done by Lee Hashirama himself?"

"So this hero was made based on himself!"

"Why torture people like this instead of killing them sooner?"

"Holy crap, this is a total psychological blow!"

"As expected of Lee Joo-jian, your heart is truly black!"

As the promotional video ended, the official voice-over introducing the hero began:

Welcome to the League of Legends champion introduction!

This time, we'll be introducing the hero Shaco, the Demon Jester.

He can assassinate enemies from behind, causing terrifying damage, and can also create combat illusions that explode violently after the illusions end, leaving the enemies in a sorry state.

His Q skill is…

With the detailed explanation, the audience finally figured out all of this underworld hero's skills:

The passive ability is Backstab, which deals double damage when attacking an enemy from behind; the Q ability grants invisibility and a dash, and can also crit when revealed.

W skill is the "Scare Box" from the promotional video; it places an invisible box that scares enemies who get close and makes them run away in panic.

E skill has an active and a passive version. The active version throws a flying knife that deals damage, while the passive version slows enemies with basic attacks.

The ultimate ability, R, is the key move the Joker makes in the promotional video—creating clones.

Create an illusion that is exactly like yourself; when the illusion dies, it will explode and release three terrifying boxes.

To put it bluntly, this promotional video, personally supervised by Lee Joo-mi, clearly showcases all of the Joker's abilities.

This also maximized the hero's "torture attribute." After reading the introduction, the audience calmed down a bit and started discussing the new hero's strength in a lively manner.

"This hero looks interesting, but doesn't seem very strong?"

"Does strength matter? As long as you can torment people, that's all that matters!"

"If you step on a box while chasing someone, wouldn't you suffer a stroke on the spot?"

"I'm disgusted. Just how dark is Li Zhujian's heart?"

"Backstab damage buff + basic attack slow effect, isn't that invincible for chasing down enemies?"

"Invincible my ass! This little body looks so fragile, it'll be gone if someone counterattacks!"

"Is he positioned as a jungler? He should be able to clear jungle camps pretty quickly."

"This hero feels like he's just there to disgust people, he's so creepy..."

The live stream chat was in an uproar; everyone's general understanding of the Joker was just one thing.

Pure torture king, his strength doesn't seem outrageous. After all, this hero is different from other heroes.

Looking at the skills alone, they don't seem that powerful, but it really depends on who's playing them.
