League of Legends: League of Unknowns

After settling his documents, Luocheng stayed in Lecheng for a few more days.

 Qianqian meant for Luocheng to drop by home to have a look, since he had achieved pretty good results, there wasn’t any reason to be estranged from his family now.

 However, Luocheng shook his head, knowing that his so-called achievements were nothing in the minds of stubborn elders, since the belief that ‘studying is the only way’ had been planted in their minds since long ago.

 It was early in the day and the weather was scorching hot outside, Luocheng and Qianqian had no intentions of going out.

 Qianqian was also slightly crazy about playing League of Legends, and since Luocheng finally didn’t need to be training every other hour, he decided to accompany her to play.

 “Haha, I think I’m the only one in the world that would receive this kind of treatment, having a LPL champion carry me!” Qianqian said with a bright smile on her face, her beautiful eyes curving up into a crescent moon.

 Luocheng chuckled at that.

 In the beginning, he had taken up the role of Support for the sake of getting friendly with the girls, who knew that it would accidentally set his career path like that. Fate was really too funny, you never knew what to say about it.

 Just as they went online, Luocheng received a message on the game interface.

 “Boss! I’m not hallucinating right, it’s really you!!” The message came from the ID Beast.

 “Whats up!” Luocheng replied.

 In the Rising Dragon Cyber Cafe, a slightly buff guy suddenly exclaimed inexplicably, an excited expression on his face.

 “What’s wrong with you!” Zhao Kesong said in confusion.

 “Luocheng, it’s that a*s, Luocheng!” Wang Qin said, pointing at the ID that had not been seen online for god knows how many years.

 “Don’t be nuts, Luocheng wouldn’t be on. He’s probably in some random country’s team doing his training, how could he…holy sh*t, he’s really on!” Kesong’s eyes went wide as he cut off mid-sentence, looking at the friend-list displayed on his screen.

 Back when they were playing interclass competitions, they had added each other on their friend-list. They clearly remembered that Luocheng, that wonderful a*s, had had an ID that they didn’t understand.

 Seeing this ID online, they couldn’t help but reminisce about the time when they had kicked Class Three’s a*s. It had been so satisfying to the point that it was hard to breathe!

 “Great god, why is this great god online…”

 It was summer break, and the few high school students from Class Eight that loved to play LOL were gathered in the internet cafe for premade matches. Nowadays, they were no longer elementary school students who didn’t have Junglers. Wang Qin had also gone through bitter training and had managed to climb to Platinum, Kesong could barely pass as a Gold, while the others were hovering between Silver and Gold.

 In the eyes of that group of people, even a Diamond player appearing was already awesome. Professional players…wow…that was already on another level that they didn’t even dare to dream about. As for Luocheng who had taken a championship in a professional league against all odds, they could only worship the ground he walked on.

 If they had known that a classmate of their own would obtain such a high achievement in the field of LOL, they would have knelt and licked his shoes, even going as far as to turn gay for him back in middle school!

 “Qianqian is also online. I say, no wonder this guy suddenly decided to use this ID.” Wang Qin grumbled, feeling envious.

 Saying that, he had already pulled out his cellphone, dialing Luocheng’s number.

 “Yo, where are you?” Wang Qin asked.

 “In Lecheng, Qianqian’s house…”

 “Man, you guys are staying together already, my poor heart.” Wang Qin immediately felt nauseous.

 The goddess that all of them had once pursued had been taken by this pig.

 “Luocheng, f*ck, finally we hear from you, man. We’re at the Rising Dragon Cafe, come over and carry us for a few games, yeah? F*cking h*ll man, I’ve been telling my uni mates that you were my high school classmate but they just wouldn’t believe me. Hurry up over and take a selfie with me, I’ll make them eat their words!” Kesong grabbed the phone and chattered excitedly to Luocheng.

 “If I go to the internet cafe, I’ll need to wear glasses.” Luocheng replied.

 Going to an internet cafe without a disguise?

 You would really be digging your own grave.

 Nowadays, which internet cafe was not occupied by League of Legends believers? If he was accidentally recognized, he wouldn’t be able to walk out of the place in one piece.

 Especially in the Rising Dragon Internet Cafe where his group of friends were. They basically knew that he had won the LPL championship, if he went there without any form of disguise, he really wouldn’t walk out of the place alive!

 After all, despite everything, he was considered to be a public figure!

 “Also, let’s go for drinks tonight!” Kesong said.

 “Sure.” Luocheng replied.

 Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he had gotten together with this group. It would be interesting to catch up with them.

 “Oh yeah, since you’re in the professional circle, could you get me an autograph from Sister Qin? I like her commentary the best! Every night I listen to her as I go to sleep!” Wang Qin said.

 Somehow, this sentence seemed strange coming from Wang Qin’s mouth.

 “I know Qi Qiao, Xi Ling, and Jojo. Who is this Sister Qin you’re talking about?” Luocheng asked, raising an eyebrow.

 “F*ck, you don’t even know her!?”

 “Who is she?” Luocheng was confused.

 Luocheng knew most of the female LPL commentators and he was more familiar with Qi Qiao and Xi Ling, however, he had never heard of this Sister Qin. Was she a commentator from the other entertainment side? If so, how could he possibly know her? There were so many of them on YY and QT.

 “Forget it, both of you come over first, we’ll be in the gaming area.” Wang Qin said.

 “Alright, we’re coming.” Luocheng replied.

 ***

 In the Rising Dragon Internet Cafe, a young man smoking a cigarette leaned back in his chair, his eyes on something not far away.

 “Isn’t that Beast?” The young man with the cigarette in his mouth said to a girl with a punk-ish hairstyle sitting beside him.

 “Ho, it is him. How shameless is this guy!? He clearly lost in that solo match and yet he still dares to show his face here.” The young girl with her colorful hair and big earrings said.

 “Hmm.” The young man got up from his chair and walked toward Wang Qin’s direction.

 This guy shoved Wang Qin’s head arrogantly, as though he owned the place.

 “F*ck!” Wang Qin was also angered, leaping up from his chair.

 “Still so full of bullsh*t!” The young man was clearly unhappy, pointing at Wang Qin’s nose. “You still dare to show your face here!”

 “Why can’t I!?” Wang Qin bit back, clearly unsatisfied.

 Kesong was more afraid of the situation, and seeing that the young man with short hair looked as though he was going to raise his hands again, he hurriedly cut in with a smile. “Aih, Xiao Bin, don’t be like that, let’s talk civilly.”

 “Civil my a*s, this guy laughed and said my girlfriend was a noob. I beat him in a solo match and kicked him out of the cafe, got any problem with that!?” The young man named Xiao Bin said.

 Xiao Bin was actually a barber from the shop beside the Rising Dragon Cafe.

 The girl next to him earlier was his girlfriend—Wei Wei, and her magnificent hairstyle was also his handiwork. Xiao Bin called it his masterpiece.

 “So what if I laughed? Freaking h*ll, buying a Mejai’s on Ashe, that would make anybody laugh!” Wang Qin said angrily, his temper running high.

 Zhong Xiaoyun who was sitting beside them also couldn’t help but choke out a laugh when he heard that. Mejai’s Soulstealer on Ashe…how much more of a noob could you be!

 “D*mn it, the two of you are looking to die!” Xiao Bin said, his anger bursting!

 Laughing at his girl meant laughing at him, how could Xiao Bin tolerate that? Also, Xiao Bin had always looked down on these university students, they weren’t the only ones he had trampled on in Rising Dragon Cafe!

 “Xiao Bin, don’t cause any trouble!”

 Just as Xiao Bin wanted to take action, another young man with yellow hair came over and glared at him fiercely.

 “Mi, they’re the ones starting a fight with me!” Xiao Bin’s anger faded slightly as he looked at Huang Mi.

 “If you want to bark then bark, don’t annoy other people. If you have the guts then come 5 vs 5 with my people. If you lose, then f*cking don’t come back to this cafe. Do you dare to or not!? If you don’t, then take your flat-faced girlfriend and shove off, don’t bother us playing our games!” Wang Qin wasn’t afraid of this guy at all.

 Flat-faced girlfriend!? Those words made Wei Wei angry, jumping up and pointing her finger at Wang Qin, “You motherf*cker!”

 Xiao Bin’s temper also shot through the roof at that, and he shouted angrily, calling all his friends!

 “You said it, 5 vs 5, the loser gets the f*ck out of this cafe and you’ll f*cking let my girlfriend slap your cocky face!” Xiao Bin pointed his finger in Wang Qin’s face.

 “Fine, if that’s what you want. I’ve grown tired of watching you two cut and blow. What age is this, still cutting this kind of chicken backside hairstyle!” Wang Qin said, not bothering to censor his thoughts and insulting them right back.

 “F*ck your mother, I’ll roast you!” Xiao Bin growled back, his temper was really at its peak.

 Huang Mi glared at him again, saying, “Don’t cause trouble on Boss Qin’s turf. If you’re a man, f*cking camp them in the fountain, why are you trying to act so big in an internet cafe!?”

 ***

 Wang Qin’s call with Luocheng had not ended and he was still on the phone, and Luocheng had heard the entire argument.

 Huang Mi’s words surprised Luocheng.

 What did he mean, if you’re a man then f*cking camp them in the fountain?

 Had LOL already developed to this extent where fights in an internet cafe were this weak and it was better to just release their steam in the game by abusing them at the respawn point?

 However, if you thought about it, in this era, it wasn’t so old fashioned where they would be acting like gangsters or arrogantly strutting around picking fights. Instead, it was settled through LOL solo matches or team matches, the lost dignity was worse than getting punched in the face!

 Not to mention, Xiao Bin had really called all of his friends over as his flat-faced girlfriend continued chattering non-stop.

 “Xiao Bin, just wreck all of those b*stards. Slaughter them until they don’t even dare to step out from the fountain! They really p*ss me off!” The flat-faced Wei Wei said.

 “Don’t you know my skills? Let them pretend to be great all they want, my good friends will also be here!” Xiao Bin glared scornfully at Wang Qin, Xiaoyun, and Kesong who stood not too far away from them.

 ***

 “Cheng, you’re still there right. We’ll be counting on you, just abuse him all the way!” Wang Qin said as he sat back down, muttering into the phone to Luocheng.

 Kesong and Xiaoyun were trying very hard to hold back their laughter, their internal organs were about to burst out!

 Xiao Bin, that idiot had actually dared to accept the 5 vs 5 without knowing who would be seated opposite them!

 The captain of the LPL championship team!

 “Yeah, we’re almost there. I’m just wondering if I should give them a one-hand handicap.” Luocheng said, the corner of his lips lifting into a smirk.
