Oh no, this alliance writer has really surpassed Lee Sang-hyeok!

Chapter 28: Retiring after your debut – this is your end!

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ming Kai and the others exchanged glances. Meiko even touched Lu Chen's hair and sneered, "Brother Chen, you don't even use Pantene to wash your hair. How come you're so much more confident than everyone here when they debuted?"

"That must be because I'm more skilled than you were when you first debuted."

"Tch!" Meiko waved her hand, unmoved.

In their culture, everyone who debuted was a child prodigy, and they had all already made their mark.

It's important to know that there are still a lot of talented young people waiting to emerge. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Demacia Cup may not be as prestigious or popular as other LPL competitions; some people don't even have the qualifications to participate in the Demacia Cup.

It's often said that the Demacia Cup champion isn't a true champion, but many players still don't have one, including some well-known star players.

For example, Uzi, Sima Laozei, etc.

"Time to go on stage? Post something on Weibo first."

Ignoring Meiko and the others' words, Lu Chen looked at his rapidly growing number of Weibo followers and felt quite pleased with himself.

Thanks to his setting of "only followers can comment," he now has hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo, even more than some veteran LPL players.

"Brother Yong, you're really brave! You even dared to post on Weibo before the match. Do you really not know what death means?" Meiko craned his neck. He truly admired Lu Chen's mentality.

Which newcomer isn't cautious when they first start competing, afraid of playing poorly and being criticized by the entire internet? Then, due to public opinion issues, they are benched and never get another chance to play.

If he doesn't get the opportunities he needs afterward, he might end up spending his career in the water dispenser.

Not to mention that he played poorly, Lu Chen actually knew someone like that. It was Qing Tian, ​​a top laner from the Gyro team before his rebirth. He had played in a few games and performed quite well, even having some highlights.

However, due to issues with his hero pool and occasional poor performances that drew heavy criticism from fans of the Gyro team, he almost never played again. He was then replaced by Huang Chu, and eventually both he and Huang Chu retired.

"Huh? Tianye, the word 'death' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

"Do you have the characters '毙', '殆', and '猝'?" Tianye asked rhetorically.

"No, not at all."

"You're laughing, you little brat. Do you even know the words in your dictionary?" Mingkai was amused by Lu Chen. How did EDG manage to recruit such a clown?

However, it must be said that with Lu Chen around, their club has become much more active recently.

"Brother Kai, you just don't understand."

Lu Chen looked at the Weibo post he had edited, clicked send, and then said with a serious expression, "No words will do."

"6666!"

"How daring!"

"Holy crap! This can be driven!" Deft's eyes widened, and he blurted out in perfect Chinese.

Meiko quickly shifted her position, opened Weibo, saw Lu Chen's latest post, and burst out laughing.

Could it be that Lu Chen really is a genius?

Weibo user EDG-Kingslayer:

[Hey Radissons and Jets, I'm Kingslayer, the mid laner for EDG. You can call me God K!]

Thanks for the invitation. I'm at the Demacia Cup venue, getting ready to go on stage. Today I'm going to have three matches against my former team, RNG!

Match 1: The Opening Match!

The second match: A do-or-die battle!

Scene 3: The train station!

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's RNG going to the train station!

It's time to show you my true power!

With little time left before the match started, countless online and livestream viewers were patiently waiting for it to begin, with some RNG and EDG fans even engaging in intense online battles.

At this very moment, the instant people saw Lu Chen's Weibo post, it caused an uproar!

[6666! I'm jealous of your talent, K God!]

I initially thought you might get crushed by Xiaohu, but even if you do, I won't criticize you anymore. You're my hero!

【Wait, when did EDG get such a brave player? You're the real K-God of the LPL. As for that guy who fought a bloody BO10, he should be renamed K-Beast.】

[What kind of god is this? Feng Nan Bai Jiang, okay? I'll call you K Jiang.]

【NMSL, what are you pretending for, a former substitute for Xiaohu? You're not even as good as the slop buckets in your EDG cafeteria.】

[Accurate! Correct! Incisive!]

[Oh yeah, right, right, even if EDG loses, you don't need to go to the train station. Just have Mingkai take you to Wuhan Shang K! Everyone's like you, with a K.]

[Family members, does anyone understand? I opened Weibo and saw a dog barking. Does someone really think they're invincible just because they got to the top of the Korean server by luck and solo-killed Faker once?]

[Where did this dog come from? I only know about bath dogs.]

...

Before long, Lu Chen's Weibo account was flooded with comments.

Some fans of the Royal League were genuinely furious at Lu Chen's Weibo post. When had they ever seen an LPL player so arrogant as to post on Weibo to stir up hatred before the match even started?

Especially Lu Chen, who was originally with RNG and had previously criticized RNG. Some people have used up all their knowledge and then just clicked send.

We need to pay attention to what we discover.

I bought a watch last year!

That's absolutely disgusting!

Now they just want the match to start quickly so that RNG can organize Lu Chen's retirement ceremony.

Seeing the excitement online, Scout couldn't help but laugh. This wasn't something he asked Lu Chen to do; he was just waiting for Lu Chen to be benched after the BO5 ended.

Having spent a high salary to buy a player who only brings negative publicity to the club, even Abramovich would love to kick Lu Chen out of the club overnight.

Believe it or not, when Sisbu, who was at the EDG club, saw Lu Chen's Weibo post, he felt dizzy and even called Mingkai, only to receive a single sentence from Mingkai.

"Did you mess up? What's the rush? The show has only just begun!"

"You're crazy just because he's crazy?" Abu was furious, finally managing to stammer, "Remember to zoom in."

Upon hearing this, Mingkai's expression immediately darkened. He patted Lu Chen and Meiko, who were laughing uncontrollably, and said, "Let's go, get ready to go on stage."

"Kai, remember to zoom in," Meiko reminded him, then saw him shrug and say, "You have to come when the bot lane calls you, don't tell me how I can go when the bot lane calls me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingkai immediately became anxious, while Deft, who was standing next to him, couldn't stop laughing.

He had to admit that although EDG's performance was not good, the atmosphere was much better than that of LCK, and he really wanted to continue playing for EDG.

In the LCK, if Meiko dared to tease Mingkai, a senior player, like that, Ambition's baseball bat would be coming his way.

Damn it! You think my baseball bat is made of paper?

"Don't be nervous, Brother Chen, just perform normally." Meiko put her arm around Lu Chen's shoulder and walked into the corridor, offering him a word of advice as someone who had been through it all.

Lu Chen remained calm and composed, showing no sign of nervousness. "Why should I be nervous? The one who should be nervous is the other side!"

In an instant, under the gaze and shouts of countless spectators, the host, Yu Shuang, the "yellow moonlight" of countless anti-fans, appeared in the center of the stage with a smile, wearing a black dress.

After the opening remarks, the players were called out one by one to welcome both sides into the arena with their hands clasped. As each ID was called out and the players took their places, the atmosphere became tense again, except when Lu Chen came on stage, when it was a little quieter.

The only faint whispers that could be heard were things like "He's good-looking" and "That's Lu Chen."

Just as Lu Chen and the others were adjusting the equipment, he felt a gaze coming from the flank. He turned around and found that Uzi and Xiaohu were secretly looking at him.

The next second, Lu Chen made a peace sign at them, which immediately made Uzi and Xiaohu a little defensive.

What is he laughing at?

"What the hell are you laughing at!" Uzi said viciously. He still remembered Lu Chen publicly posting on Weibo that he didn't know how to play Jhin, and being tower-dived and solo-killed by Bang's Ezreal at the World Championship.

It's true, but you can't say it.

"He won't be laughing anymore soon," Xiao Hu said confidently. "He'll be all smiles and laughter before the match, but silent afterward."

"His debut was his retirement, that's how it ended, I'm telling you."
