[Esports] Team Leader Xie, your mid laner is causing trouble again.

These words were extremely arrogant, but Xie Jichuan chuckled and agreed:

"Yes, Lord Cassius."

Once inside the game, because he was playing a support character, Li Zhi didn't actively engage in fights in the early stages.

Cassius diligently cleared the mid lane, using his skills meticulously and not giving the enemy mid laner a single extra auto-attack.

After reaching level four, he didn't hesitate to let go of the lane and controlled his hero to hop and skip towards the jungle, joining forces with Xie Jichuan's owl.

To complement Li Zhi, Xie Jichuan brought out his signature jungler in this game.

Owl's ultimate move transforms him into an eagle, allowing him to leap over walls, gain high-altitude vision, and cause stun upon landing.

Back when he first started for the Ashes team and was embroiled in controversy, he single-handedly dominated the entire US professional league with his signature move, Owl, and became famous overnight.

Later, when he won the World Championship FMVP, this was the hero he used the most.

In the game, Cassius is portrayed as an elder with a youthful face, an adorable little boy wearing a crown bigger than his head.

Having the ability to possess teammates, it was now sitting properly on Xiao's shoulder.

Do your best to be a qualified gold multiplier and selflessly contribute your minion wave.

UUC played their standard lineup in this game and were extremely cautious.

For nearly ten minutes, not a single kill occurred.

The two sides traded blows on the map, exchanging skills several times, but neither managed to get first blood.

However, the economic data doesn't lie; Xie Jichuan's Xiao is already far ahead.

It was even a full thousand dollars higher than Chi Lie, who was in the same position.

In professional matches, a 1,000 gold lead at ten minutes means that the jungler's advantage in their lane is so great that they can unilaterally declare dominance.

The key equipment for the owl has been completed. Li Zhi glanced at the owl, which had activated its ultimate form and was flapping its wings, and curled her lips:

"Little bird, let me take you to kill someone."

After saying that, the little boy jumped off the eagle and landed steadily.

He crouched patiently in the riverbed bushes, observing 369's portrait on the minimap with a clear gaze.

The owl followed closely behind, gliding low and silently.

369 is swaggering around clearing the minion wave under the cover of his support.

Just as the opposing support used their skill to check the bushes, Li Zhi decisively struck, accurately placing a crowd control skill at 369's feet.

The knockback animation lit up, and the 369 marksman was frozen in place, unable to move.

He reacted quickly, and seeing that things were not going well, he immediately tried to run away, but Xie Jichuan's owl had already flipped over from the other side of the wall.

The overwhelming economic advantage made Xiao's damage ridiculously high; his 369 health bar melted away like butter.

Even the support character who rushed to help was caught in the aftereffects of Xiao's injuries before they could even finish using their skills, and both of them fell to the ground.

Double kill!

Li Zhi whistled, "Nice, that was a very skillful maneuver."

Then, true to his original intention, he manipulated the young Cassius to walk onto the corpse of 369 and begin to dance.

The little boy swung his crown, gesturing wildly, his movements perfectly designed to be annoying.

Enraged, 369 took advantage of the resurrection interval to start typing in the public chat.

[999 Cold Remedy: ...Isn't that childish? Stop jumping around.]

Knowing when to stop, Li Zhi controlled Cassius to sit back on Xiao's shoulder and help Xie Jichuan farm.

He took a moment to reply in the public chat, his tone as irritating as ever.

[Chuan Chuan Baby: Just jumping, just jumping, hee hee hee ^_-]

[999 Cold Remedy: We've only won one wave, you just wait.]

[Chuan Chuan Baby: Mm, I'm waiting for you to come and get your kill.]

After Xie Jichuan secured two kills, his economy soared even higher.

With the final major item completed, the Owl entered its reign.

With maxed-out skill damage and maximum cooldown reduction, the ultimate skill can be used almost seamlessly.

Wherever this bird flies, people will die.

Li Zhize had been observing 369's positioning. Seeing that he was now separated from his teammates and was clearing the lane alone, he immediately jumped off Xiao's shoulder and began to activate his passive crowd control ability.

"Little bird, let's go catch 369."

Xie Jichuan hummed in agreement, paused, and asked casually, "Did you suffer at UUC?"

Li Zhi was unwilling to admit that he simply didn't want to be a tool for 369, as that would make him seem petty, even smaller than the seeds on a strawberry.

He mumbled, "Um... not really, I just wanted to take down the marksman."

"Okay, got it."

Xie Jichuan's tone remained unchanged, but his movements to grab the person were noticeably faster.

If it doesn't count, then it does, and it means I've been wronged.

Who is this 369 guy, daring to give his mid laner such attitude?

Now that Li Zhi didn't need to initiate the team fight, Xie Jichuan began to look for opportunities to eliminate 369 from all angles.

Even when the opposing team was grouped together, Xiao ignored everyone else, swooped down from the wall, landed precisely on 369's head in the crowd, took him out with a combo, and then left.

Chi Lie wanted to protect him but couldn't, and the support wanted to block him but couldn't.

There were no wronged souls beneath the owl's feathered blade, only the corpse of 369.

After several attempts, 369 lost his composure.

[999 Cold Remedy: Lychee, what did I do to you? Why is your jungler targeting me like this?]

With someone helping him kill, Kurichi was able to relax and have some peace and quiet.

He roughly calculated the number of deaths (369) and his fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard.

[Chuan Chuan Baby: Two more times to go!]

[999 Cold Remedy: What, two more treatments are needed?]

[Chuan Chuan Baby: During the last trial, I fed you 8 kills in that support role.]

[Chuan Chuan Baby: You've died 6 times now, so you still owe me 2.]

[999 Cold Remedy: ...?]

[999 Cold Remedy: This one's on credit too??]

Li Zhi also knew that she was being unreasonable. Playing a support character meant assisting her teammates. Even if she didn't feed 369, she would feed others.

But he didn't care; he was arrogant even though he was in the wrong.

He gave a wicked laugh, the sound coming through the earpiece, radiating a blatant malice:

"Little bird, while he's angry, let him drop some water and kill him."

Seeing his aggressive and gesticulating manner, Xie Jichuan's eyes softened with a faint smile.

The owl's wings spread across the canyon, casting a shadow over 369's head:

"Yes, sir."
