In the original world, Lin Lan had many fans, and Qi Rong left the deepest impression on him.
Looking at her small stature, yet possessing endless explosive power, capable of single-handedly lifting dozens of kilograms of support items. She could push her way to the forefront of the fan crowd, but not tall enough to see, so she stood on a high stool, shouting hoarsely towards him, “Lin Lan! Charge! Give me a charge—!”
Lin Lan had encountered many fans, but never one so fervent.
So much so that, with just a few glances in the crowd, he remembered that goose-yellow figure.
Because she liked to wear goose-yellow overalls, every time she appeared, Lin Lan’s teammates would tease him, “Your little yellow sister is here again.”
Lin Lan always just smiled it off. He always felt that too intense affection comes quickly and goes just as fast. Perhaps she would soon start liking someone else and stop being a fan of him.
After one year, then two years passed, she was still there. When he faced a low point due to a hand injury, she was still there. When he was criticized across the entire internet, she remained.
Lin Lan encountered, for the first time, such a devoted fan. Just as he was about to acknowledge Qi Rong as the leader of his fan club upon returning to his peak, Qi Mo came knocking on the door.
Qi Mo was the strongest opponent he had encountered in the LPL. While appearing gentle in private, on the battlefield, he was as sharp as a blade.
He summoned Lin Lan and talked to him about many things regarding Qi Rong.
It was only then that Lin Lan learned that Qi Rong was from a single-parent family. Her father was wealthy but showed little care for her, leading her to obsessively pursue stars during her rebellious teenage years. At the peak of her obsession, she simultaneously supported over a dozen celebrities, day and night, even considering dropping out of school just to boost the popularity of her favorite stars.
Unexpectedly, within a month, everything collapsed.
Qi Rong cried in her room, feeling utterly devastated, to the extent that even glancing at her phone caused her physical pain.
Helpless, Qi Mo could only bring her into the esports circle to gradually ease her mood. However, she ended up passionately falling for Lin Lan, with even more fervor than her previous star-chasing endeavors.
This time, he sought out Lin Lan to tell him, “Rong Rong is about to take the college entrance exam. She should focus on her studies, and I don’t want her to suffer any more harm. I hope you can do me a favor and make things clear to her.”
Lin Lan agreed.
When he once again secured the championship and Qi Rong desperately rushed to the front of the crowd to give him a gift, he refused to accept it.
It was the first time Lin Lan spoke to the girl, “I can’t accept this gift. Your brother said your grades are seriously slipping. When you make it to the top three in the class, then you can be my fan.”
Qi Rong’s grades were not good, peaking at around the thirties in the class.
Lin Lan, wanting to avoid any trouble, deliberately said this to make it clear and put an end to any idea of her being a fan again.
But the girl looked at him with a determined gaze. She continued to pursue him, promising, “I will study hard, Lin Lan. Wait for me to get into college, and then I’ll come find you…”
Lin Lan didn’t take it seriously. However, one day, when he had almost forgotten about Qi Rong, Qi Mo brought a gift from her six months ago. He chuckled helplessly, “She took your words seriously. After going back, her dad hired three tutors for her, and she worked hard. She became the top student in their class, and she has been admitted to a prestigious university.”
He handed the box to Lin Lan, saying, “This is the gift she wanted to give you last time. She asked me to bring it to you.”
Opening the box, Lin Lan found a pair of blue light-blocking glasses inside.
His eyes were worn out from his professional career, unable to withstand strong light. This was something he had never mentioned, and even some of his teammates were unaware.
However, Qi Rong had prepared such a gift for him six months ago.
“Rong Rong is stubborn. If she promises something, she will definitely fulfill it, including the things she promised you and becoming your fan. She takes it seriously and won’t change.”
Underneath the box, there was a small card with words Qi Rong wanted to convey to him: “I chased after many lights, but in the end, I firmly chose you. Grateful for every moment with you, each one gives me strength. In every day, every moment, every second in the future, I will forever stand behind you, never leaving, never giving up.”
Lin Lan had encountered many fans in his life, but the most loyal one was Qi Rong. Even in another world, she would follow him without hesitation.
She still liked the goose-yellow overall skirt and the hat with a little yellow duck. It seemed like no matter what she liked, she remained loyal.
Thinking about this, Lin Lan couldn’t help but smile.
Lu Shi looked at him strangely, “Lin Lan, I feel like there’s something off about you today.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Look, Captain being happy is one thing, but both of you being this happy, you two must be secretly in love behind our backs.”
Lin Lan was speechless.
Help, can someone please escort Lu Shi away?
The team members arrived at the resting room, each focusing on their training. The live broadcast on the screen displayed the ongoing match, and when their game was over, it would be DT’s turn.
The staff informed them in advance, “DT players, get ready. You’ll be entering the arena in 20 minutes.”
After the announcement, Lin Lan was the first to put on the team uniform, check the equipment, and stand in the designated position.
Usually, he was laid-back and indifferent, even dragging his feet when going on stage. Today, he was surprisingly proactive…
Lu Shi speculated sneakily, “There’s definitely a problem. Lin Lan has a major issue.”
Jiang Jin couldn’t figure out what the problem was. Before he could ask, they were notified to enter the arena immediately.
After entering the arena, Lin Lan remained very proactive. Usually, he needed some time to warm up and find his groove, but today it seemed like he was in good shape from the start.
The commentators teased, “It looks like today is truly a fierce battle for DT.”
Indeed, YTF was undoubtedly the strong team this year. In the current spring season, they had only lost three matches.
In the pre-match predictions, YTF’s win rate was much higher than DT’s. After all, DT was just a rookie team, while YTF was a classic veteran squad with players who had a terrifyingly rich experience. They excelled at making newcomers pay their dues, often leaving opponents clueless about how they lost.
In the original world, when Lin Lan faced them, he also paid his dues. Despite having a significant advantage, he couldn’t secure a win, losing in a baffling manner each time.
Later, he dedicated himself to studying YTF’s playing style. The peculiar thing about them lay in the mid-lane.
The mid-laner, Tifog, had an exceptionally strong overall view of the game. He could provide support, accurately return to his lane, and single-handedly activate the entire lineup. No matter where they fell behind, he would quickly find new ways to compensate. Experienced, skilled, and unpredictable, he was challenging to counter…
Newcomers like Feifei couldn’t figure out how to lose in front of Tifog.
However, Coach Zhang wasn’t worried at all because DT’s current points ranked fourth. Even if they lost all three remaining matches, they would still qualify for the postseason.
With a positive mindset, he thought, “Well, I’ve already met Brother Mu’s targets. No need to worry about sponsorship for the second half of the year.”
So, he cheerfully arranged tactics.
Fans in the bullet comments also noticed: [Feels like DT’s players are very relaxed.]
[Heard their boss doesn’t have high demands, just making it to the postseason is enough.]
[Is their boss so laid-back? Why not set a new goal?]
[No wonder Lan is usually so laid-back. Turns out it’s related to the boss’s temperament…]
[Haha, other teams are frantically fighting for points, and only DT is diligently being a salted fish.]
Because there was no pressure, DT’s draft was also very bold.
Even when the enemy top laner hadn’t shown up, they directly picked Akali.
Akali is a very dominant mid-lane assassin, with the agility of an assassin. It often excels in picking off enemy champions in the crowd and escaping unscathed.
But there’s a condition: she needs to get farmed up.
An Akali that hasn’t farmed is practically useless.
Choosing a hero with such characteristics for Feifei seems a bit too daring, right?
Feifei is more suited for champions like Camille, who can handle both offense and defense in the lane. Picking Akali might make him struggle to the point where even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.
At this moment, YTF also picked Lissandra.
Lissandra, the Ice Witch, commonly known as the Ice Queen.
Because of her powerful mobility and crowd-control abilities, she becomes a nightmare for many assassin heroes.
More importantly, she counters Akali!
Feifei already struggled with playing Akali, and now he’s countered. The commentators can easily imagine how passive DT might become.
However, the commentators offered another perspective: “Could this Akali be going top lane? Kiner likes playing mid-lane-type top lane champions.”
This perspective was also considered by many viewers. Under their speculative glances, DT indeed picked mid-lane champion Camille, confirming that Akali was going top lane!
Cheers erupted from the crowd. No one expected DT to play so boldly! Is this match too exciting?
However, soon everyone calmed down.
Although Akali can go top lane, the team’s margin for error becomes very low. Who can guarantee that Lin Lan will definitely be able to farm up?
In the bullet comments, more people were expressing doubts and not feeling optimistic about this choice.
However, the outcome of this game wasn’t very important for DT. It’s good enough if they can enjoy the game!
Even before entering the game, Lin Lan started explaining various possible situations and taught everyone how to handle them.
Xiao Shengjing couldn’t help but glance at him more. Why does Lin Lan seem particularly serious today? Did something happen?
As the game started, both sides went to their respective lanes.
As soon as they covered their heads, Jiang Jin sensed something was off, “They’re not in the river.”
Following Lin Lan’s advice, they might be waiting with their jungler to ambush them. So, Jiang Jin cautiously used his skills to scout the bushes, and sure enough, there were people inside!
They almost fell for YTF’s trap!
The commentators exclaimed, “Beautiful! Morri’s awareness is incredible! Directly avoiding a potential crisis!”
The opponents never expected that a rookie team like DT would have such sensitive awareness.
Jiang Jin followed Lin Lan’s instructions carefully, paying attention to everything Lin Lan briefed him on before the match. He covered all angles, ensuring there was no opportunity for the opponent’s jungle to gank.
Seeing that the bot lane was safe, Lin Lan felt relieved.
He focused on last-hitting minions, as before reaching level six, he didn’t have the ability to solo kill. The game was still relatively balanced at this point.
Xiao Shengjing knew that the bot lane crisis was averted, and it would soon be the top lane’s turn. He vigilantly placed wards for Lin Lan and successfully avoided another potential crisis.
Afterward, he stayed in the mid-lane, ensuring Feifei’s safety.
After several skirmishes, both sides surprisingly reached a stalemate. Despite YTF attempting to lure them multiple times, everyone resisted the temptation under Lin Lan’s guidance.
The commentators couldn’t help but praise DT, “This rookie team plays very maturely, not falling for any tricks. Instead, it’s YTF’s ganks that failed to gain an advantage.”
Failing to gain an advantage from jungle ganks is detrimental, not just economically but, more importantly, it disrupts the rhythm of the game.
Xiao Shengjing was no pushover either. Once he seized the tempo, the jungle would become uncontrollable.
“The mid lane has Xiao Shengjing’s strong defense, challenging to gank. The bot lane duo is also playing cautiously, no openings there.” YTF’s jungler immediately set his sights on Lin Lan, “Let’s focus on breaking the top lane. I can dive Akali’s turret, suppress his growth, and then DT’s composition won’t be effective.”
This decision was sound and currently the best solution.
The commentators foresaw this, “YTF seems to have to target the top lane. Kiner is going to have a tough time.”
Even Lin Lan himself realized they were preparing to target him. With the lane pushed halfway, he hesitated in front of his turret, admiring his twin daggers.
Seeing the opponents closing in, Lin Lan still conveyed the message to his teammates, “Captain, don’t worry about me, go take the dragon.”
Surrounded by three enemies, there was no way Lin Lan could survive. Xiao Shengjing opened his mouth, but he also knew that if he went top lane in this situation and assisted Lin Lan, the jungle tempo would explode.
For the sake of the team, he had to suppress his personal feelings.
He could only turn around to secure the dragon.
In the top lane, Lin Lan was dominating in last-hitting minions. Given a bit more time, he would undoubtedly break through this lane. Now was his most crucial period of development. If he died, all the efforts put in earlier would be in vain.
For the sake of the team, he chose to sacrifice himself.
Jiang Jin was moved by this and suddenly thought of something, “Lin Lan, I’ll come to the top lane to provide vision for you.”
“If you go top lane, what about Xu Shengwei?”
Xu Shengwei, hearing his name called, straightened up suddenly, “I can handle it.”
Lin Lan had trained him for so long to withstand pressure, with the ultimate goal of freeing Jiang Jin one day. Now was the crucial moment when he had to stand firm; he couldn’t afford to falter.
Hearing Xu Shengwei’s determination, Lin Lan knew he was prepared. He didn’t stop Jiang Jin from going to the top lane.
On the big screen, Xiao Shengjing smoothly secured the dragon. This sent a signal to YTF: Xiao Shengjing is not in the top lane!
Earlier, there was concern about Xiao Shengjing rushing over, but now there was no need to worry; he couldn’t make it in time.
The YTF trio was eager to intercept Lin Lan under the turret. The minion wave pushed forward, and at this moment, Lin Lan’s W1(Akali)Twilight Shroud: Akali drops a smoke bomb, unleashing a spreading cover of smoke lasting 5/5.5/6/6.5/7 seconds.
The smoke grants Akali invisibility and 30/35/40/45/50% decaying movement speed for 2 seconds.
Stealth – Invisible: Akali can only be revealed by nearby enemy Turrets or True Sight.
Akali increases her energy by 100 while the shroud is active. was still on cooldown. He was completely helpless and had no means of escape.
The group unleashed a merciless onslaught on him. Despite Lin Lan’s efforts to outplay, facing a 1v3 was too overwhelming.
Just as they were about to claim Lin Lan’s life, a lantern suddenly descended from the sky!
Oh no! Their support came to rescue Lin Lan!
In the instant the lantern dropped, all three members of YTF placed their wards simultaneously!
As is well known, to pick up Thresh’s lantern, you need to use the left mouse button, which is also the attack key!
As long as the hand speed is fast enough, by placing a ward directly on the lantern’s center, Lin Lan would be unable to click on the lantern. Instead, he would trigger the attack command, automatically removing the ward!
Lin Lan’s hand speed was too slow!
He didn’t pick up the lantern!
The commentators expressed despair for Lin Lan, “He can’t click on the lantern! Kiner is done for! The support’s move was in vain!”
Jiang Jin was also shocked, “Oh no!” He couldn’t believe that Lin Lan’s hand speed would be slower than the three opponents.
He didn’t even have time to think it through, rushing desperately towards Lin Lan, attempting to save him.
Lin Lan was already in a precarious situation, but Jiang Jin’s lantern provided him with a shield, granting him an extra two seconds of life.
In those two seconds, he suddenly used his ultimate to reposition, avoiding a well-known skill. Turning around, he executed a long-range Q2(Akali)Five Point Strike: Slings kunai in an arc, dealing 45/70/95/120/145 (+65% bonus Attack Damage) (+60% bonus Ability Power) magic damage. Enemies at the tip are slowed by 50 for 0.5 seconds. followed by a passive auto-attack, unexpectedly taking down YTF’s jungler!
Then, using the second part of his ultimate, he returned to a safe position, miraculously surviving!
“Eh?” “What—?”
This turnaround caught everyone off guard. After all, Lin Lan had only a sliver of health, and everyone thought he was surely going to die.
Not only did he survive, but he also secured a kill!
At this moment, Jiang Jin finally arrived by Lin Lan’s side. He intercepted a deadly skill for Lin Lan. It was as if some kind of energy had burst within him. He actually predicted the landing point of the enemy’s Ice Witch displacement, hooked Tifog on the spot, and dragged him back!
The commentators exclaimed, “Beautiful!”
Jiang Jin hooked the Ice Witch, and immediately activated his ultimate, The Box, swinging the Ice Witch onto his ultimate.
The perfect connection of the two control chains a 99% slow, almost rendering the Ice Witch immobile. She could only watch as Lin Lan unleashed his damage!
Lin Lan carefully timed his auto-attacks, and just as the Ice Witch was about to activate her E3(Lissandra)Glacial Path: Casts an ice claw that deals 70/105/140/175/210 (+60% bonus Ability Power) magic damage to enemies hit.
Reactivating this ability transports Lissandra to the claw’s current location. to potentially kill him, he instantly used his E4(Akali)Shuriken Flip: Flip backward and fire a shuriken forward, dealing 30/56.25/82.5/108.75/135 (+85% Attack Damage) (+120% bonus Ability Power) magic damage and marking the first enemy or smoke cloud hit.
Re-cast: Dash to the marked target, dealing 70/131.25/192.5/253.75/315(+85% Attack Damage) (+120% bonus Ability Power). skill to reposition. Then, using the second part of his ultimate, he returned to her front and finished off the Ice Witch with a single strike!
Double Kill!
After the kills, Lin Lan’s Triumph healed him. Wielding his dual blades, he provocatively postured, seemingly waiting for the next challenger.
The opponent’s top laner abandoned any thoughts of fighting back and turned to retreat.
This reaction speed! A flawless reaction speed throughout the entire sequence!
Is this really the reaction speed of someone unable to pick up the lantern?
The audience’s minds were shaken. They began to doubt whether Lin Lan couldn’t pick up the lantern because he didn’t want to, not because he couldn’t!
When he moved towards Jiang Jin’s direction, it wasn’t to pick up the lantern; he needed the shield the lantern provided!
It was that shield that allowed him to withstand the damage, enabling him to counter-kill the jungler!
The Triumph healing after the counter-kill conveniently helped him endure the two basic attacks from the Ice Witch. Then, using his E skill to dodge the Ice Witch’s E skill, he secured the double kill!
Flawless performance with zero mistakes! Precise damage calculation! Every move is calculated, every step on the edge!
How confident and in what kind of state must he be to play like this?
He faced three experienced veteran players, yet he dared to play like this!
In reality, the veterans did show their experience. The previous tower dive was decisive and well-timed.
However, the fatal flaw of the veteran players is that their reaction speed can’t keep up!
When Jiang Jin threw the lantern just now, Lin Lan had plenty of opportunities to pick it up, but he chose not to.
The three wards placed by the opponents might look spectacular, but for Lin Lan, his reaction speed still wasn’t enough. He could have escaped, but he chose not to.
Seizing the moment when the opponent’s jungler hesitated while placing wards, he executed a perfect combo to eliminate him.
Jiang Jin’s prediction was beyond his expectations, but due to his fast reaction speed, he caught up quickly and took down the Ice Witch with a precise play.
This is the advantage of reaction speed, something the veteran players can’t compensate for.
After securing a double kill, Lin Lan’s economy skyrocketed. The commentator, with disbelief on his face, exclaimed, “My goodness, I thought DT was going to pay tuition to YTF today, but turns out kiner is giving YTF a lesson?”
The barrage of comments flooded with “666” and some even wrote “999,” expressing their admiration for Lin Lan’s incredible performance.
[Wow, is this the speed of young people? I’m in awe!]
[I strongly suspect that he intentionally didn’t pick up the lantern!]
[Lin Lan didn’t make any moves to pick up the lantern at all; he just didn’t want to escape.]
[With this speed, if he wanted to pick it up, who could stop him?]
[Jiang Jin was the one who took out those three wards; Lin Lan didn’t even attack them. He just wanted to kill.]
[Ah ah ah, how can he play so brilliantly!]
The barrage of comments was chaotic. In the overlooked corner, Xu Shengwei was struggling to quietly farm.
As soon as Jiang Jin showed up in the top lane, YTF’s bot lane had murderous intent towards Xu Shengwei. Fortunately, his reaction speed was fast enough to escape, and with the arrival of Xiao Shengjing, he was saved.
The commentator exclaimed, “DT’s AD is handling the pressure well. I think they planned this out: jungle takes the dragon, support comes to the rescue, and AD withstands the pressure. They not only make good decisions, but each player also does what they are supposed to do. I see trust and cohesion in them, which is very rare…”
After the commentator’s reminder, the audience also noticed that DT was becoming more like a team. It wasn’t just kiner playing well; behind him were teammates quietly contributing.
The barrage of comments started praising his teammates: [I’ve always wanted to say, DT’s jungler is really good. No matter what kind of team they face, their jungle never loses control of the pace!]
[This jungler is their captain and has always played well!]
[Jiang Jin’s roaming is impressive! He’s like a roaming god!]
[Hahaha, this new AD is not bad at all, even better than at the beginning…]
[The mid-laner is also doing well, very stable.]
While fans of other teams were engaged in mutual banter, DT was like a breath of fresh air.
Returning to this game, Lin Lan already had two kills under his belt, and in coordination with Xiao Shengjing, they took down the Rift Herald, directly demolishing the enemy’s Tier 1 tower.
The commentator also keenly pointed out, “Kiner has again outfarmed the opponent by more than fifty CS. My goodness, his development now is completely something YTF can’t handle!”
Teams like YTF, with their experience, quickly realized they couldn’t engage in direct conflicts with DT just by looking at their item builds. They had to find ways to regain an advantage over other areas.
However, Lin Lan, who had taken the first tower, was extremely agile. Whenever YTF prepared to make a move, Lin Lan would promptly appear, disrupting their plans.
They had no idea how Lin Lan managed it. A newcomer frequently seeing through their tactics, did he have some kind of foresight ability?
Seeing the advantage slipping away, YTF became anxious. They had never played such a passive game, and as the match progressed into the late game, DT still held onto their lead.
If they continued to drag it out, they would inevitably lose.
YTF decided to make a last-ditch effort!
Currently, their combat power was slightly lower than DT’s, but they had an advantage in rich experience and strong adaptability.
They gambled on DT getting desperate, unable to output damage!
After devising their strategy, YTF began setting traps, intending to first break up DT’s formation and then slowly consume them!
Just as they seized the opportunity, preparing to engage with Feifei, the AD exclaimed, “Oh no, Akali is behind me!”
Fear, like a shadow, spread in the darkness!
No one knew how Lin Lan managed to bypass them; this area was filled with their wards!
Before they could comprehend, Lin Lan suddenly unleashed his ultimate, slicing through their AD, leaving him severely wounded. He then entered the shroud of Akali, vanishing into the smoke!
Akali’s shroud was her most annoying survival skill. In here, no one could lock onto her, not even with true vision!
YTF’s AD, already disregarding their optimal position for dealing damage, only wanted to desperately escape Akali’s pursuit. But it was futile!
In the darkness, Lin Lan suddenly soared, delivering a fatal blow with his blade, then swiftly returned to his shroud, concealing himself!
He killed their AD and remained unscathed, hiding right under their noses!
YTF was infuriated, but they had no way to deal with Lin Lan!
Moreover, the crucial point was that Lin Lan not only took down their AD but also disrupted their formation!
YTF’s command made a decisive call, “Can’t fight, retreat!”
At this moment, Lin Lan emerged again from the smoke, delivering a slash to their jungler, instantly reducing their health by half. YTF’s mid-lane Lissandra was infuriated and tried to immobilize him. But in the next second, Lin Lan activated Zhonya’s Hourglass!
The commentators suddenly realized, “YTF fell for it again!”
Lin Lan’s hand speed was so fast that even Tifog couldn’t comprehend. It was this instinctive turn that trapped Tifog in Lin Lan’s scheme.
YTF was deceived; they couldn’t escape!
Chasing them down, Jiang Jin turned around and hooked the jungler, instantly taking him down.
The remaining YTF members couldn’t escape and had to face the fight head-on. They fought desperately, managing to kill DT’s mid-laner and support, but Lin Lan was still alive!
After Zhonya’s Hourglass ended, he stood up and unleashed a burst of damage, inflicting unbearable pain on them!
The remaining support and top laner couldn’t escape either, being chased and killed by Lin Lan. Although one last Lissandra managed to escape over the wall in time, what was the use? She couldn’t defend the Nexus!
The infuriating Twilight Shroud! The infuriating Akali! The infuriating Lin Lan!
Infuriating!
No matter how much YTF hated Lin Lan, they couldn’t stop his relentless assault. After a series of unstoppable pushes, YTF lost their inhibitor and their outer turrets. Only the Nexus remained.
With YTF’s desire to resist, they revived, killed Xu Shengwei and Xiao Shengjing, and charged straight at Lin Lan!
Lin Lan calmly used his ultimate to reposition and continued attacking the Nexus. As they approached, he used his second skill to create distance, then chased again, followed by his E skill, and after using E, there was still Twilight Shroud.
Endless mobility and stealth made YTF wear the mask of pain.
The Nexus’s health kept plummeting, and Lin Lan reappeared from the Twilight Shroud, delivering the final blow to their Nexus.
In the face of the agile Akali, YTF’s last struggle seemed particularly feeble!
The Nexus slowly exploded, securing the victory for DT!
DT actually defeated YTF?
