Chapter 29: Evening Goddess!
Speaking of which.
Su Wanwan’s S+ talent was most abnormal in that it could carry over to the next match.
It gave people the feeling that once she triggered her talent, the entire series would lose all suspense.
And the requirement to trigger the talent was simply to solo kill the opponent once.
In other words, as long as Su Wanwan solo killed the opponent once, the enemy team was doomed.
In future high-level competitions, solo kills would be very difficult to achieve.
So at that point, Su Wanwan’s talent would be indirectly weakened.
But in low-level matches like these, everyone played carelessly and would give opportunities.
Su Wanwan became the ultimate weapon!
Crushing noobs every game, stable carry!
In the second game, the Red Hot Little Date team put away their contempt and banned LeBlanc, Zed, and Fizz.
Seeing this scene, Yu Feng suddenly got PTSD and said to Kai-ge beside him, “This looks familiar, bro.”
Kai-ge nodded, “If I’m not mistaken, your mom is going to pick Yone, and Ruoxi is going to pick Lillia.”
Sure enough, Yone and Lillia were selected.
Yu Feng: “How would you rate Evening Goddess’s Yone?”
Kai-ge: “Heh, you’ll know after laning against it for ten seconds – guaranteed to shut you up completely.”
The Red Hot Little Date team tried very hard this game, with top and bot lanes both exerting pressure and gaining a significant CS lead.
Unfortunately…
Wanwan accidentally got another solo kill in mid lane…
Then, working with Lillia’s jungle invasion, they entered their formulaic rhythm!
That familiar feeling, those dead memories, began ruthlessly attacking Wu Zhi!
“What the hell are we even playing for!”
Wu Zhi watched as a huge wave of minions crashed into his tower but he couldn’t farm them, and his face turned red with rage!
He started putting pressure on his teammates through voice chat!
At this point… the outcome was already decided!
In another private room.
Ruan Junzhe, the top laner for Jinling Men’s Esports Team Two, walked out of their room.
They had also easily taken down their opponents 2-0, finishing even faster than FM.
After coming out, the noisy hall and crowded people made Ruan Junzhe very uncomfortable. He walked around the edges, just wanting to get some fresh air outside without being seen by any classmates.
Glancing at the big screen, what he feared most was happening.
FM had a huge advantage and was about to take this game.
What Ruan Junzhe feared was – what if FM really made it to the finals?
All his classmates supported Jiang Yuan.
Only he sang a different tune and stayed in the men’s esports club.
It was already difficult enough, and in the end he’d have to face off against him in a decisive battle?
What a headache!
Ruan Junzhe went outside to smoke.
Although the weather was clearly nice today, in his eyes it seemed gloomy and oppressive…
Meanwhile, at Fengmao Group.
On Saturday, many employees chose to voluntarily work overtime to avoid being laid off.
Gu Yinan lazily propped up her chin, her gaze fixed on the live stream on her computer screen—
It was the broadcast of this tournament being held at Jinling Victory Internet Cafe.
The stream had pitifully few viewers, less than fifty, with sporadic comments drifting by.
But this didn’t diminish Gu Yinan’s interest.
She watched with great enthusiasm.
Even though she knew nothing about League of Legends.
But when she heard the commentator in the video praise her daughter as “Evening Goddess” and lavish praise on her exquisite plays, an indescribable sense of comfort and pride quietly bloomed in her heart.
“Director Gu?” Her secretary’s voice came from the doorway with some caution, “You were looking for me?”
“Mm.” Gu Yinan said, “Go research the LPL for me. If our group were interested in acquiring a league slot, roughly how much would we need to invest? Assess the feasibility and prepare a detailed report for me.”
“L, LPL?” The secretary looked blank, “Director Gu, what is that?”
“Something my little brother plays with, very popular!” Gu Yinan looked at her with disdain: “Go learn about it quickly.”
“Ah, oh, okay!”
The secretary hurried out.
Soon, rumors began spreading:
【Director Gu has been very interested in LPL lately】
Within the company, many people started cramming League of Legends knowledge…
On computer screens, the original work documents were quietly replaced with recorded league matches or live streams…
At Jinling University, in the Men’s Esports Club activity room.
Wang Hao walked sleepily into the club room, only to see Yin Mingyu intently staring at the screen, watching the internet cafe tournament livestream.
He yawned and asked, “How’s the battle situation?”
Yin Mingyu replied matter-of-factly: “Same as the footage Junzhe provided a couple days ago – the game content focuses on mid-jungle, with top and bot both being weak points.”
“Are they a threat to us?” Wang Hao only cared about this.
“Not at all.” Yin Mingyu shook his head: “I won’t even mention top and bot lanes. As for jungle, from what I can see now, they’re a bit formulaic, not as flexible as Song Xin. And for mid lane, there’s some mechanical skill, but we just found foreign aid recently, so that’s not a problem either.”
Speaking of foreign aid.
Wang Hao smiled.
This was a genuine professional player!
Most coincidentally, he had once tried out at the same youth training camp as Jiang Yuan!
It’s just that back then, he made it up while Jiang Yuan was eliminated.
“So you’re saying we beat them in all five positions?” Wang Hao asked.
“Yes.” Yin Mingyu nodded.
“Then I need to think carefully about how to taunt them after we win the campus selection tournament. Especially that arrogant pink-haired girl!”
“In this internet cafe tournament, they probably can’t even beat Team Two. Honestly, it’ll be hard for us to even meet them…”
“If we can’t meet them, that would be such a shame!”
Victory Internet Cafe.
In the morning, quarterfinals.
FM easily won 2-0.
Su Wanwan, with her talent activated, gave the opponents no chance whatsoever.
Yone directly pierced through the enemy’s defense line!
Three solo kills before 15 minutes, and she solo’d the mid lane tower with full plates!
How could they even play against that?!
In the afternoon semifinals.
After a morning of reflection.
The opponents had clearly studied FM’s match footage. Not only did they start restricting Su Wanwan’s champion pool from game one, but they also played extremely defensively!
Fortunately, as a coach, Jiang Yuan hadn’t trained them on any fixed composition, but rather two different approaches to winning games.
Essentially, whether mid lane was LeBlanc or Akali didn’t make much difference – as long as they could achieve solo kills and pressure tactically.
As for top and bot lanes, they just tried to pick strong laning combinations.
If you ban my Ashe-Braum, I still have the Kalista combo, or even Caitlyn-Spider.
And Zhao Xiaomeng, no matter what she played, would just mindlessly go after their mid laner…
Game one.
Although the opponents defended very well in the early game and even took an economic lead at one point.
Under FM’s team coordination, they still accidentally let Su Wanwan get a solo kill…
The plot that followed was—
FM starts poorly, FM makes blunders, FM struggles, FM gives victory speech…
With Su Wanwan there.
It lived up to that saying.
We can make countless mistakes, you can only make one!
As long as Su Wanwan got a solo kill, the game was over!
The audience gradually caught on to this pattern.
Everyone developed a shared understanding:
Give Evening Goddess an advantage, and it equals—
Game over!
The semifinals were naturally also taken 2-0.
Su Wanwan swept all four game MVPs as FM advanced proudly to the finals!
And online, discussions about this regional internet cafe tournament began to create ripples.
Someone clipped together Su Wanwan’s highlight plays and posted it with the title:
【How would you rate the gaming level of WanWan, the mid laner for Jinling Women’s Esports Team One?】
Replies quickly accumulated below:
【Thanks for the question. I’m at the scene, don’t watch League of Legends, but I took a photo – looks are perfect (posted with subject’s permission)】
In the photo, Su Wanwan was facing Jiang Yuan with a bright, pure smile, her eyes sparkling and teeth white, stunningly beautiful.
But her fist was already raised, as if she was about to punch Jiang Yuan’s shoulder the next second – full of dynamic energy.
【If you’re going to comment like that, then I absolutely must watch this frame by frame.】
【Holy shit? No way? Such a beautiful girl can have plays this good?】
【Already shared.】
This photo was taken by a passerby who asked if they could post it online.
Jiang Yuan and Su Wanwan discussed it.
Thinking that professional players would inevitably show their faces in the future, and since this photo was quite nice, they let him go ahead.
They didn’t expect that just this one photo would create quite a stir in the community…
In private room 808.
Packed with people!
Laughter and chatter filled the air!
Yu Feng, Kai-ge, Zhao Xiaomeng, Liu Shuai and others all came, not sparing any words of praise!
After chatting for a while, the guys left, saying they didn’t want to interfere with the team’s review – very considerate!
Jiang Yuan took the intelligence report Liao Zhizhi handed him and said:
“Our opponents in tomorrow’s finals are Jinling University Men’s Esports Club Team Two.”
“They also went 4-0 today without dropping a single game.”
“And their average game time was under twenty-five minutes.”
“Their average rank is Master, and they’re also players I once coached. They’re very strong. Next, let me break down their playstyle and approach for you.”
Opening the prepared intelligence file.
Lin Yuanyuan froze when she saw the top laner’s ID: “Ruan Junzhe?”
“Right.” Jiang Yuan nodded: “The same Fiora from our scrim.”
“…”
Lin Yuanyuan fell silent.
Pressure—
Instantly enveloped her entire body!
She had been completely destroyed by Ruan Junzhe once!
She knew very clearly how abnormal this person’s laning was!
And in Jiang Yuan’s notes.
This person was actually the weakest player on Men’s Esports Team Two, even recently promoted?
Huh?
How strong must the others be?!
Her fingers trembled slightly.
Lin Yuanyuan swallowed hard, trying her best to follow Jiang Yuan’s analysis.
From dusk until the sky grew dark.
Jiang Yuan took a sip of water and summarized:
“In any case, today’s matches were just warmups. Tomorrow’s BO5 is the real hard fight. They’re not just a little bit stronger than these internet cafe teams – they’re in a completely different league. Everyone go back and rest well. Wanwan, come with me, I’ll take you out for dinner alone.”
A solo dinner.
Of course, this was to complete the S+ mission chain.
But the others couldn’t see the system – they didn’t think that way!
Except for Jiang Ruoxi, all the girls couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild!
Ji Shiyun covered her laugh and looked down – she hadn’t expected Coach Jiang to be so direct!
Zhao Xiaomeng blinked curiously, looking around.
The most animated expression belonged to Su Wanwan.
She first froze, then her heart began racing.
The pink-haired little loli—
Started overthinking!
‘Dad, what are you planning to do to me?!’
‘So sudden!’
Su Wanwan’s favorability toward Jiang Yuan was as high as 58 points.
Calculated on a scale of 100, it was already over half.
Despite such high favorability and not being opposed in her heart, Su Wanwan said:
“Not going, not going, we have a match tomorrow!”
After saying this, Su Wanwan huffed and sat down.
Finding an opportunity, she secretly took out her phone and sent a message:
「Wait for me to go back to the dorm and shower!」
After playing matches all day, she wasn’t looking her best at all – how could she go to dinner alone?
She absolutely had to go back to the dorm and get ready first!
