Chapter 44 Am I the only one in the entire LPL wearing pink headphones?
"Diana's Q can be used to exploit extreme distances!"
"Yes, it means when you release Q from the side downwards, if you drag the mouse pointer a little longer, the distance of Diana's Q will be longer than if you release it from the same spot."
In the EDG club, both Pawn and Lu Chen were using Diana in the mid lane, and this action of theirs attracted everyone's attention.
Coach Nofe was observing from behind with his notebook, while Mingkai was putting pressure on him, saying, "Hey, you little brat, do you even know how to play Diana? You just used RQR and got a solo kill."
"I'd play it even if you gave it to me."
"Chen-ge is still a bit inferior to Yuan-shuo-ge." Meiko stroked her chin, and Nofe, standing beside her, nodded in agreement.
Although he thought Lu Chen was indeed good, his hero pool was still much weaker than that of their EDG's star player. If it weren't for Pawn's serious back injury, no one would have had the opportunity to be EDG's starting mid laner.
"What are you barking like dogs? Be quiet, I'm thinking."
Lu Chen concentrated intently, and suddenly many memories flooded his mind, thanks to the boost from his talent returning to the basics.
It was an indescribable feeling. After only a short while, his Diana improved more and more, causing Pawn's smile to gradually disappear, and he began to straighten his back and focus his eyes on the screen.
But no sooner said than done!
Seeing that Pawn was about to finish off the siege minion, Lu Chen immediately clicked the right mouse button, canceling the third attack that was originally going to hit the minion.
In an instant, poised to strike, a golden light swept across Summoner's Rift. Before Pawn and everyone else could react, Lu Chen's Diana had already rushed in front of him.
Q-Flash REAW.
boom!
"Shiba!"
It was visibly clear that Pawn's Diana's health had suddenly dropped, and she was right at the kill threshold. Before she could even use Flash, Lu Chen's second R had already hit her.
Although Pawn used Flash to create distance, Ignite kept burning him, and he was burned to death before he could turn around and fight back.
Holy crap!
Upon seeing this, Meiko exclaimed in surprise, and the others around her also seemed a bit incredulous.
It wasn't that I was shocked by Lu Chen's solo kill, after all, Diana hasn't been reworked yet, and her burst damage after level 6 is terrifying, even after the nerfs.
Previously, RQEA could instantly kill squishy targets.
Nofe exclaimed in amazement, "Lu, the speed at which you learn new heroes..."
Lu Chen went from clearly not knowing how to play Diana at the beginning to suddenly solo killing Pawn, as if he had mastered the game in less than ten minutes.
For a moment, they couldn't tell if Lu Chen was hiding his true abilities or if his talent was frighteningly high.
"Don't doubt it, it's just like you think. You'll learn it after watching it, it'll be amazing once you start, and it'll be absolutely incredible once you play it!" Lu Chen grinned. "Yuan Shuo, let's go again, this time with Varus."
"You're pretending, you little brat!"
Mingkai muttered to himself, but you could see the shock in his eyes, but even more so, he was overjoyed. He hadn't misjudged Lu Chen.
With such extraordinary talent and a great mentality, Lu Chen was simply born for professional competition.
It's important to understand that talent isn't the only criterion for a professional player's success; mentality and personality also play a significant role. Some players are indeed very strong.
However, when it came to major competitions, he hesitated and was timid, afraid to fight, which prevented him from fully demonstrating his abilities. That's how he was.
Some people lack the courage to fight to the death, so they seem to be only one step away from the championship, but in reality they are miles away, whether they are left or right.
However, Lu Chen had played two BO5 matches in the Demacia Cup, so he was quite familiar with Lu Chen's style.
In his words—
I'd rather make a mistake than do nothing.
Anyway, he's not afraid of being criticized.
Greatness needs no further explanation!
Could it be that...?
Mingkai and Deft locked eyes, their gazes burning with intense passion. Though they didn't exchange a word, a voice echoed in their minds simultaneously.
This year might really be the most promising year ever!!
Next, they saw that Lu Chen's Varus was the same. Such talent really made Nofe excited. Could he cultivate a champion mid laner this year?
"Xiao Lu, you're absolutely amazing! You were born for this!" Nofe exclaimed excitedly.
When Scout heard these words, he felt a sense of despair.
It shouldn't be like this!
It was Pawn and Deft who left, and then Nofe and EDG both valued him. He is the talented mid laner who will be highly anticipated next year. And that's not how you play in the LPL.
You should first join the second team, play LSLP from time to time, and wait for your opportunity to become a substitute for the starting players, and then take down the starting mid laner.
Why isn't Lu Chen following the plot?!
Scout was almost in tears. He wanted to make a name for himself with EDG next year and then try to return to LCK. He had wanted to go back to LCK ever since he came to LPL.
Otherwise, why would they say privates are loyal?
On the other side, seeing Mingkai's rather excited expression, Ai Luoli sighed softly in her heart.
Can love disappear?
Mingkai.
...
Time passed in this atmosphere, and a week went by quietly, bringing us to the eve of the Spring Split.
Apart from the fact that the food at EDG's cafeteria was bad, forcing Lu Chen to order takeout at his own expense, everything else was fine.
He trains every day, and when no one is looking, he updates his novels with over 10,000 words a day. His novel also successfully got 5000 first-day subscriptions, which is considered an excellent achievement on the entire platform.
GSL comes to offer incense and prayers to Lu Chen every day, but this has not changed the fact that his novels are doing better and better on the market.
During this period, Lu Chen also fulfilled two requirements of his cheat: 50,000 favorites and 5000 monthly votes. He obtained the Korean proficiency entry, which greatly improved the team's overall communication, allowing Deft to receive the most accurate information in a timely manner.
This made others look at Lu Chen as if he were a monster. They thought, "Not only are you good at games, but you also have such high talent in studying."
Who gave you permission to play professionally?!

His task has now shifted to requiring an average order value of 3000, which is commonly referred to as the "premium level".
In the world of online literature, there is a saying that goes, "If you don't reach the level of a masterpiece, you're just an ant." Above that, there are great masterpieces, 10,000-subscriptions, kings, great gods, and platinum, which can be described as a strict hierarchy.
"Ugh, this is so difficult."
Lu Chen sat in front of his computer and set the daily update of the chapter to be released on a timer. Now his readers are asking him why he's not criticizing Uzi anymore, but he can't possibly write every chapter just to criticize Uzi.
Talent eventually has its limits.
"Brother Chen, why are you sighing? Don't pay attention to those trolls online. They're just deliberately trying to stir up trouble." Meiko looked at her phone screen without even looking up.
Lu Chen could see the upturned corners of his mouth.
For nearly a week, some unknown group has been spreading rumors that Godv is the mid-laner Uzi, or something like "Wutian Battle Buddha". In Lu Chen's opinion, these are all just empty promises!
Look at how awful the insults are.
Although this is not a rumor, it's because Lu Chen has kept Godv on his toes, and he has been criticizing Godv in the recent storyline. How could he only criticize Uzi?
He even gave Godv a nickname: Mid-lane Uzi!
I don't know which bastard started this up and said it was him. What does "I am the Great Demon King" have to do with me, Lu Chen?
This caused all the fans of the Optimistic Family to gather in his Weibo comment section, making it incredibly lively. No other professional player has such a diverse fanbase as him.
【Wait, why hasn't the Spring Split started yet? I can't wait to see K get thrashed by Godv.】
[Godv himself said he could easily defeat K with one hand; the only problem is that K might be too afraid to even step up!]
[If he dared to confront Wei Shen head-on, I'd eat my computer screen on the spot.]
[Damn it, enough already! Wasn't Godv supposed to be a mid-laner like Uzi in that novel? What does that have to do with my K-God?]
That idiot author is just like K-scum, what good could he possibly be?
[I strongly suspect that K is that idiot author; he's never really criticized EDG!]
[K-Zoo, what the hell are you doing livestreaming? Do you even know how to livestream? Just do livestreaming, or if you really can't, why don't you livestream yourself crossdressing and dancing!]
...
Meiko looked at the comments section of Lu Chen's latest announcement on Weibo that he would be officially starting his live stream on Huya tonight, and felt utterly ashamed.
For him, his free time each day was spent reading Lu Chen's novels, occasionally checking Lu Chen's Weibo comment section, and also browsing the Anti-Drug Bar and Hupu forums.
All the fatigue from the day disappeared.
"No, I was just thinking about how to make the live stream more entertaining."
"That's not simple." Mingkai and Abu suddenly walked over. Mingkai said softly, "You can just say some witty remarks every now and then. You have a ton of haters anyway."
"What are you saying? What are you saying?" Lu Chen raised an eyebrow. "Did I force them to slander me? No, it's all their own fault, all their own fault!"
"Alright, let's start the broadcast."
As Abu finished speaking, Lu Chen opened his live streaming app.
For some reason, he felt a surge of excitement.
As soon as he started broadcasting, a flood of viewers rushed into his live stream.
[Oh wow, I see K in person, so handsome!]
[You handsome bastard! You only have a pretty face, but your heart is ugly. You even dare to criticize my dog! You actually dare to stream like this? I've prepared ten alt accounts, I'll flame you to death!]
[K, you bastard, apologize to my GodV! Say my GodV is mid-laner Uzi. If you don't understand, just ask. What kind of championship does Uzi have?! You dare to try and compare yourself to my GodV?]
[Damn it! My dog got two runner-up finishes, which is no better than your Tang Sect's single seed reaching the round of 16!]
[Only a runner-up? What's the champion? The Solo tournament champion?]
[Are you kidding me? Winning the Summer Split championship makes you think you're invincible? Seriously, does that even have any real value?]
...
Even Lu Chen and Abu didn't expect that before Lu Chen even showed his face, a chaotic battle had already broken out in their live stream.
"That's pretty good, these stats." Abu exclaimed. If Lu Chen can succeed in both his professional career and live streaming, then the club will have really struck gold.
"Manager, Brother Chen wants us to get him a pair of pink headphones and a pacifier."
"What is he going to do!" Abu's heart skipped a beat.
Amidst everyone's attention, Lu Chen turned on his camera. On the huge live stream screen, a pair of large, bright eyes quietly appeared, startling all the viewers.
"Damn! Is this guy crazy?!"
Inside the RNG club, Uzi trembled with fear. He had also seen Lu Chen's Weibo post about starting his live stream today, and rushed over to cause trouble, hoping to use a secondary account to get Lu Chen to say something against the rules.
For example—XX Island is not part of China.
Whether it's a setup or not, once Lu Chen said those words, he can forget about live streaming, let alone his professional career.
But the next second, as the camera moved, Lu Chen, wearing pink headphones and sucking on a pacifier, came into everyone's view.
Uzi was completely stunned when he saw it, while Xiaohu and the others next to him turned red in the face. It had only been less than a minute since the broadcast started, and Lu Chen hadn't even said a word.
His live stream chat exploded.
[Damn it, you're dead!! You beast!!]
[Haha, K-God, the eternal Superman!]
[No way, wait, K-God, are you imitating Lin Tianran again?!]
[K, you bastard, go home and check your household registration book. Are you the only person left in your family?]
...
Looking at the endless stream of comments, Lu Chen uttered his first words at the start of the broadcast with righteous indignation.
"Seriously? I just started streaming and they're already criticizing me like this? So what? What's wrong with me wearing pink headphones and sucking on a pacifier!"
"Am I the only one in the entire LPL wearing pink headphones?! Why are you guys always harping on this?"
