Chapter 22: A New Interpretation of 4396
At that moment, Uzi felt extremely hot and bothered, and he clicked the report button until it was worn out.
"Don't let me find out who this dog author is, or I'll strip him of his citizenship."
Little Tiger, standing next to him, hugged his own leg, looking tearful and somewhat aggrieved.
He really misses Wuxin now. He used to get along so well with Mala Xiangguo before Uzi came.
Ever since Uzi joined, the whole team has been acting strangely, and their team style revolves around playing for Uzi.
It's all Mata's fault. If he hadn't said Wuxin was too bad during his live stream, things wouldn't be like this now.
Death's Declaration should have smashed Mata's head with a keyboard back then. His Jayce support was truly inhuman, much like Zyra the Windspeaker this year.
Perhaps Death's Declaration intended to demonstrate his boxing skills, but was blocked by someone closing the door.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hu also went to read Lu Chen's novel and burst out laughing instantly.
The inability to laugh is diagnosed as depression.
He noticed that the spicy hot pot guy next to him also had his face flushed red. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was based on the truth. No wonder Uzi was so upset.
...
On the other side, inside the EDG club, Meiko looked at the book review section and burst out laughing.
"My goodness, this author is a genius!"
[Haha, it's Uzi, I'm about to break down! You can't really be Uzi, can you?]
[Bro, your language is too foul. What do you mean your outburst resembles Uzi's?]
[How dare you! Don't think you can't be stripped of your citizenship just because it's in the comments section of an online article.]
Go back to Gotham; Batman said he won't hit you anymore.
...
Lu Chen glanced at his comment section and a slight smile crept onto his lips.
The message he just wrote was naturally a reply from his alternate account. Authors generally don't engage in online arguments unless they can't resist.
As you can see, Lu Chen couldn't help himself just now, but these words did bring a lot of attention to his book, and were quickly screenshotted and spread to various forums by netizens.
Some netizens immediately came to investigate, and in the following days, many angry fans of the royalist novel even started offering a reward in private to find out the true identity of the author of the online article.
They're going to try and extort money from us.
Of course, they couldn't uncover any secrets; they could only watch helplessly as the data for Lu Chen's book kept getting better and better.
On the night before the All-Star Game, Meiko suddenly started discussing humanities and philosophy in her dorm room.
"Brother Chen, what are the mysteries of the origin of the universe? What exactly are we humans in the universe...?"
"Get lost, I despise you." Lu Chen gave him a disdainful look. "Why do you like being a pilot just like Brother He Kui?"
Deft: "?"
After spending some time together, Lu Chen had become quite familiar with them.
"Damn it! Your brother He Kui just wasn't paying attention to his position, how can you call me a pilot?"
As we all know, Uzi's professional career spanned the two years that Deft played in the LPL.
He almost never beat Deft in lane, and his overall record is more losses than wins. I don't know why his fans are praising Uzi for being better than Deft.
However, Deft also has his flaws; he also tends to die suddenly, which is why netizens have nicknamed him "the pilot."
"grass!"
Suddenly, Mingkai, who was lying on the bed, became a little excited. Because of Meiko's recommendation, he had nothing to do, so he also took a look at Lu Chen's book, "My Slight Move Is the Limit of the Base Zone".
According to Meiko, he was clearly making a joke about Uzi, but he ended up seeing the latest chapter.
I discovered that I actually had my own things to do.
What does it mean that the circumference of a circle with a radius of 7 is exactly 43.96?
"That little brat dared to cricket at me! If I catch him, he'll be in big trouble!"
Mingkai said fiercely, and most importantly, he was still a little shocked. Although Lu Chen hadn't written too many things beyond the timeline, the number 7 hadn't come out yet.
Lu Chen's character is portrayed through the protagonist Lin Tianran's thoughts, implying that 2017 was Mingkai's 7th season, hence the name 7.
"Haha, I watched it too." Meiko grinned from ear to ear. "Kai-ge, there's more to come."
"Brother Chen, you have no idea how talented this author is. He has a new interpretation of the 4396 incident."
"In four years, we made it to the World Championship three times, used nine different heroes, and won against six teams from other regions, but we were eliminated in the quarterfinals every time. The quarterfinals of 4396 are eight strokes in each character, and we were eliminated in the quarterfinals every year."
"EDG has qualified for the World Championship every year since its inception in S4, and this year marks their third appearance in four years!"
"The teams from other regions I've beaten are DP and AHQ in the S4 group stage (I also played them last year and they were incredibly dominant), BKT, H2K, and INTZ in the S5 group stage, and Rox in the S6 quarterfinals (I won one game against them, but the other games were terrible – 4396, Olaf using his ultimate to stomp on the blast cone, etc.). Besides these six teams, I haven't beaten any other teams from other regions. A total of six!"
"The champions I used to win games were Rengar, Kha'Zix, and Evelynn in Season 4; Skarner, Rek'Sai, and Gragas in Season 5; and Hecarim, Nidalee, and Olaf in Season 6. A total of 9 champions were used to win games."
"Then in S4, they lost 2-3 to Royal Club, quarterfinals; in S5, they lost 0-4 to FNC, quarterfinals; in S6, they lost 1-3 to ROX, quarterfinals. Mingkai's name has eight strokes in both characters."
"Hahaha." Deft barely understood what he meant and immediately burst into laughter like a pig.
Lu Chen couldn't help but look at Ming Kai's gloomy face.
Although he wrote it, he doesn't know why, but he can't help but feel this way every time he sees it.
When will I stop laughing when I see these memes?
"Tianye, Lao Lu, if you two laugh at me again, I'll throw you into the toilet."
"And Tianye, what are you laughing at? You're talking like you weren't there when the game was lost."
Mingkai was furious and desperate to keep him in the dark about which little brat was spreading rumors about him.
He browsed the forums and found that the new interpretation of 4396 in the article was already circulating in the Anti-Japanese Bar. Seeing the netizens' discussions, he was so angry that he almost couldn't sleep.
"Everyone's criticizing me, huh? Watch me shine at the All-Star Game."
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential." Mingkai also learned this lesson.
Amidst the playful banter, thanks to the recent surge in popularity, Lu Chen's novel is currently performing quite well; he is no longer the flop he once was.
[1500 reading goals achieved. Time to extract talent - close your eyes and rest]
[Close your eyes and rest – When you are playing a professional match, close your eyes for one minute and you will receive divine power, greatly enhancing your strength.]
"No restrictions?"
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, his face filled with joy. There were no restrictions, so even if Faker came, he would have to step aside.
Let Faker come to LPL!
At this moment, Lu Chen felt his whole body was filled with power, and all he needed now was an opportunity.
If he could, he would take Scout down.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked at Ming Kai. As his roommate and the club's senior, he could play as long as Ming Kai asked. If the manager, Si Jiebu, didn't let him play, he would expose all the things Si Jiebu did to cheat WE's support player IF in his online novel.
Let's shake it off when we step onto the field!
After all, this is a major event for the LPL, and they don't even know who they are.
"I, the mouse, am just too gloomy."
Lu Chen made a self-deprecating remark, then said, "Brother Kai, if you keep talking to me like that, I feel like I'm going to get depressed. I'm starting to think about cosplaying a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll).
Mingkai: "?"
His eyes widened suddenly. Based on his interactions with Lu Chen over the past few days, he didn't think Lu Chen was the type of person who would be depressed!
"Tianye, don't you think so? We should stand right on top of the Oriental Pearl Tower and broadcast live that Kai is bullying the two of us."
"Exactly, exactly! You think this is LCK?" Tianye chimed in, "Hekkyu, don't you think so?"
"No," Deft shook his head. "LCK isn't that light."
Mingkai's face darkened, and he said softly, "What do you think you're trying to say, you little brat?"
"Since Brother Kai has asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you."
"Isn't the Demacia Cup Finals after the All-Star Game?"
"I'm going to fight, or I'll cosplay as a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll) and accuse you of bullying me."
"Brother Kai, you don't want your reputation to plummet again, do you?"
"That's not right either, there's not much room for further decline anyway."
"You want to go to the Demacia Cup?" Ming Kai frowned, even though the Demacia Cup wasn't a very important tournament.
But it is, after all, the last major tournament of the year for the LPL, and EDG is definitely determined to win the championship.
He had heard Abramovich mention that the plan was to let Scout play in the Demacia Cup, to see if Scout could take over from Pawn.
Mingkai neither liked nor disliked Scout.
But if he had to choose his mid-lane teammate next year, he would definitely choose Lu Chen.
It wasn't due to a lack of skill. Although Lu Chen had reached number one in the Korean server, he had never played in an official match and lacked experience.
Mingkai cares about Lu Chen playing mid lane. It will be much more comfortable for those two Chinese players to communicate and interact, as he has experienced in previous duo queue games.
"Okay, I'll arrange it, but you need to be prepared. If you don't perform well in the Demacia Cup, you might never get another chance to play because of public opinion issues," Mingkai reminded him.
"There's no need to worry. Once I'm on the field, the entire LPL will remember my name."
