Tonight, for the first time in many years, Lin Feng logged into his old team ID.
After being lost in thought for a long time, he silently turned off the game interface, turned off the computer, and quietly went to bed after turning off the lights.
That night, someone's thoughts were a mess.
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
What he did not know was that if he had just logged into the game account, he would not have just stared blankly at his ID. Instead, he would have clicked on his friend list. He would have seen that in the dusty and dim "BT Team" friend column, there were two ID icons of his friends. They were both in a bright online state.
Their statuses were both marked "in game."
Min Province, a small town next to Xia City.
The dim light from the street lamps seemed to shine into the convenience store.
There was a laptop on the desk at the front desk. The young convenience store owner held a mouse on an old, white pad, his right hand on the keyboard, his full attention on the keyboard.
On the computer screen in front of him was the game map interface of Summoner's Canyon.
On the bottom lane, the blue team support he was controlling, Hammerstone, was working hard to coordinate with his own ADC partner, Lucian, against the purple team's duo.
Hammerstone's Q skill, "Death Sentence," was used.
The Soul Lock Warden's scythe chain swung out, cutting through the air in a straight line, instantly sweeping toward the purple team's ADC, the explorer.
The opponent's EZ subconsciously used his E skill, "Arcane Leap," to move backward to dodge.
But coincidentally or uncoincidentally … …
It just so happened to crash into the trajectory of the whizzing scythe chain.
With a creak, the chain tightened and bound the target EZ, dragging him back. Hammerstone followed up with a second Q, and the E skill, "Pendulum of Misfortune," swept EZ back, further slowing him down. At the same time, he threw the W skill's lantern behind him, quickly pulling his own ADC, Obama, up.
Obama lit the lantern and flew to his teammate's side, firing at the target EZ's face.
He killed EZ and took him away.
The remaining purple support Nami hurriedly ran away, and Hammerstone continued to chase after them. Seeing that they were about to enter the tower, Hammerstone's Q skill, Death Sentence, was off cooldown. Once again, the scythe chain seemed to have eyes of its own as it accurately bound Nami under the tower and dragged her back.
Obama quickly followed up with another round of DPS. Together with Stonehammer's [Ignite], he easily took down another kill.
"Double-kill! — "
The system's female voice sounded.
At the same time, Zhou Mo heard Zhang Xin's excited cheers in his earphones.
“
ice!”
The two of them had a tacit understanding with each other. Under Zhou Mo's control, Hammerstone's Q skill hooks were almost 100% accurate. Moreover, in an advantageous situation, the Soul Lock Warden's offensive characteristics could be further amplified. Zhang Xin's ADC, Obama, was simply getting killed. In less than 18 minutes, he had already obtained two incomplete pieces of equipment. Together with Hammerstone, it was almost a 2v5.
In the end, it was an easy victory.
On the other side of the voice chat, Zhang Xin seemed to want to continue.
"Brother Mo, again?"
"This support of yours … You're playing too well! You're practically a professional! "
These words came from the bottom of Zhang Xin's heart. He had played the ADC position for so long and had encountered at least a thousand supports in random games. But even in his Diamond division, he often encountered all kinds of deceptive supports. It wasn't that there weren't any that were reliable, but Zhou Mo was definitely the first one that coordinated with him so well.
The main thing was … it was too comfortable.
It was as if all his intentions could be seen through by his own support partner in time or even in advance. Just as he wanted to attack, Hammerstone's Q skill had already been thrown out. He even found an opportunity to forcefully dodge. And when he sensed danger, before he could even send out a warning signal, Hammerstone's teammate had already retreated and thrown a lantern at his feet.
There were also all kinds of protection.
All kinds of blocking skills.
All kinds of careful positioning of vision.
All kinds of restraints and cover in the team battle allowed his ADC, Obama, to deal the highest amount of damage without the slightest worry.
This kind of support … was simply the most dream partner of all ADC players!
Listening to Zhang Xin's praise, Zhou Mo couldn't help but laugh.
"It's alright."
"I learned it all from my old friends. Compared to him … my ability is nothing."
As he said this, Zhou Mo couldn't help but think of his past partner who fought side by side in the bottom lane.
Zhang Xin was dubious. "Stronger than you, Brother Mo? That's at the level of a professional support! "
Zhou Mo smiled again when he heard that. "Mhm." He didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either. The level of a "professional support" … Perhaps he had underestimated his partner. Back in the day, it wouldn't be a problem for his partner to say that he was the strongest support in the world.
Or at least, in his heart, he was the strongest support.
"Oh right." Zhang Xin seemed to have thought of something. "Brother Mo, didn't you tell me that you mainly played the AD position? If your support is so strong, your AD must be even stronger. Let's have a match, this time I'll play support for you!"
The young man's tone became excited and expectant.
After all, he didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary convenience store owner he got to know by chance was actually a hidden expert.
Hearing this, Zhou Mo paused for a moment.
Looking at his right hand holding the mouse, Zhou Mo was silent for a moment. He shook his head and said softly,
"I don't think so.
"Now … I can't play anymore."
…
Min Province, Nanzhou City.
Late at night, there were very few customers at Le City Internet Cafe. The atmosphere in the hall wasn't as lively and noisy as it was during the day. Many private rooms were empty.
The lack of business naturally made the work of the cafe's manager a lot easier.
Mu Qiu was dragged by Xia Ziyou to an idle computer in the hall for a game of duo. The former was in charge of the AD position, while the latter was in charge of the support.
It took less than 25 minutes to complete a round of Diamond Bracket Ranking.
They directly crushed the opponent's mentality and surrendered.
The final statistics came out. Mu Qiu's AD, Vayne, was a god with a KDA of 8/0/7.
Xia Ziyou's eyes lit up. He turned his head and looked at Mu Qiu with admiration.
"That's too strong!"
"Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? Your AD is so strong!"
Mu Qiu shrugged lazily.
"Not bad."
"I learned it from a friend of mine. His AD is a real AD. Mine is just the tip of the iceberg."
Xia Ziyou's eyes widened. "Just the tip of the iceberg? Isn't your friend in heaven? Is he a professional player? "
Mu Qiu sat up straight, picked up a can of soda on the table, and took a sip. He burped in satisfaction.
"Let me put it this way."
"Even compared to Team God's Barren Snow Nightsong, my friend is still a level higher."
Xia Ziyou didn't think much of it.
"Bullshit. How can there be a better AD than Nightsong in our country?"
Mu Qiu smiled and waved his hand casually. "Forget it if you don't believe me."
Xia Ziyou curled his lips. "I don't believe you. If you're so good, go find your friend and show him in person!"
Mu Qiu paused.
The smile on his face faded, and his expression seemed a little gloomy under the shadow of the lights.
"I probably won't have the chance."
