Chapter 49 – Winning
“Secure the home first and defend the high ground.”
Lin Xingling controlled Sun Bin[mfn]
[/mfn] to unleash a powerful ultimate against the Qing soldiers, glancing at the summoner skills and saying, “Interference will be ready in thirteen seconds.”
This match was supposed to have Cleanse, especially since Cheng Che’s Marco Polo[mfn]
[/mfn] and Phantom’s Ma Chao[mfn]
[/mfn] relied on his second ability… but Lin Xingling had his own ideas. He wanted to exert more early-game pressure, so he brought Interference.
Unexpectedly, they were being beaten so badly by the opponents that they had to use Interference solely to defend their own towers.
Liu Ying used Diao Chan[mfn]
[/mfn], a typical mage assassin with strong sustainability and fast wave clear.
Therefore, a large part of the opponents targeted him.
“Be careful, Yanmei, stay back.” (You)
“Mages, retreat.” (Pei)
“Well, I have Twilight to protect us. Don’t worry, I also pre-ordered Resurrection Armor.” (Ying)
Diao Chan: [Twilight – Purchased]
Because they were afraid of being controlled and burst down, Cheng Che took Cleanse for this match. Coupled with Lin Xingling having the Wolf’s Fang Crest and his second ability, they were not weak in later team fights.
DCT cleared the three waves of dragon minions, and ANT couldn’t push any further. After finishing one wave, they could only tactically retreat a bit.
Cheng Che shouted to go for a counter-attack.
Lin Xingling said, “Defend the home, defend the home!!!”
Cheng Che replied, “Defend the damn home! Attack!”
This was a fight they could really engage in. Lin Xingling hesitated for a second and used Wolf’s Fang Crest for them, saying, “Attack! Chase them out!”
“Understood.”
Wu You’s Lu Bu[mfn]
[/mfn] joined in with his ultimate.
Phantom had already activated Sprint and intercepted the enemy’s top laner, marksman, and support when Cheng Che said to go out and fight. By the time Cheng Che and the others caught up, the enemy jungle mage had also arrived.
It turned into a ten-person team fight.
Phantom used his third ability to teleport in an instant. The two Black’s Nu Wa[mfn]
[/mfn] had reacted quickly, but they were still two seconds slower than Marco Polo and Sun Bin.
Phantom’s ultimate burst out in rapid succession, and Stars used his ultimate for control, while Clear’s ultimate dealt damage and 460’s ultimate danced…
UU sat down and secured a triple kill.
They didn’t give the opposing trio a chance to react.
“Talented.”
Seeing this, the second Black immediately interrupted Nu Wa’s teleportation.
…
“Xiao You is the one stealing the kills!” (Ying)
“That’s… that’s right.” (Cheng)
“Forget about Nu Wa, we have minion waves. Let’s push the tower!” (Xing)
“…” (Pei)
DCT pushed the second tower in the mid lane.
Wu You suddenly felt emotional and said, “We’re really making dreams come true!”
Liu Ying smiled and replied, “Our original intentions remain unchanged.”
Cheng Che added, “So let’s put it into action.”
Lin Xingling, who had nothing else to say, suddenly thought of something. “I suddenly remembered… Mirage and Graceful Clear.”
This phrase appeared for the first time in this life when he made his debut in a match and saw it in the live chat of the official broadcast room… It said that his playstyle contained the soul of Gong Sunli.
A dance of swords moves in all directions.
Wu You said, “Brother Cheng’s Gong Sunli is indeed amazing, but my most memorable moment is Sun Shangxiang’s pentakill.”
Liu Ying said, “There’s no need for someone to pentakill and cosplay…”
“Well… because he, he joined the team.” (Wu You is referring to Sun Shangxiang)
Cheng Che chuckled and changed the topic, asking Lin Xingling, “I remember it was… it was because of my ID, right?”
Lin Xingling nodded slightly, “I remember it was because of my ID… right?”
In the previous life, the phrase “Child of the Stars” originated from his ID. Later, it became associated with Stars leading the DCT team to victory in the 2018 Autumn Championship, using the hero Yao in the final match.
Child of the Stars – Yao
“Yes, and… you are really skilled in the jungle.”
Cheng Che’s eyes welled up with a hint of acidity.
Stars was truly formidable in the jungle, but unfortunately, they would never see that again in this life…
“I’m also skilled at support.” Lin Xingling smiled.
“Yeah!” (Cheng)
“My Dad Star is the best.” (Wu You)
“…”
While chatting and laughing, the five of them had already destroyed ANT’s middle lane high ground and sent the enemy jungle, who attempted to clear minions, back to the fountain.
Only the second Black’s Nu Wa remained on the opposing side.
Nu Wa used their ultimate to kill the low-health Sun Bin and clear two small minions, leaving only one low-health siege unit.
Marco Polo was furious.
Cheng Che said, “Liu Ying, I’ll take him down. Diao Chan, go!”
Liu Ying hesitated, “This isn’t… okay.”
Diao Chan used her skills to stay close to the minion wave, and Marco Polo followed up with their second ability, dealing a blow to Nu Wa.
Nuwa flashed back to Quan, but was blocked by Marco Polo and attacked by Quan’s side.
[“What is this kid doing? [Facepalm]”]
[“Clear, wake up! Damn, he’s bullying Quan again!”]
[“Oh my, in this lifetime, little brother is bullying Quan.”]
Lin Xingling, whose screen turned black, was speechless with tears in his eyes. “Stop hitting Quan, please!”
[“This is revenge for killing the support! [Dog head]”]
[“Last time it was 460 bullying Quan with God Lian, this time Clear is bullying Quan with the two Blacks… Should I say that the off-team mid-laner is pitiful or should I say it’s DCT’s corporate culture to bully Quan? [Smile]”]
[“I won’t say anything, just take care of yourself. [Chuckles]”]
…
Nu Wa didn’t get killed, and in the end, Phantom and Wu You were the ones who did the actual work, protecting the siege tower and pushing the enemy’s crystal.
“Victory!“
They won 3-2, but it was a close match.
Due to Clear’s suspected Quan bullying behavior in the last game, the barrage in the live chat was already in an uproar, and it had also become a hot topic on Weibo.
Weibo’s trending list, 8th place: [Clear bullies Quan]
It can be said that the pace of the current King’s Circle is divided equally between DCT-Clear and TG-Lian Rong.
Charity: 7-8 million fans, but no trending topic.
Stars: I have 11 million fans, but still no trending topic.
DCT Team: Thank you, we don’t have the money to withdraw the trending topic.
…
The team sent Clear and Stars as representatives for the post-match interview.
The host, A Hua, asked some tricky questions given by the production team, but Lin Xingling calmly responded fluently, while Cheng Che silently acted as a microphone stand in the middle.
The last question was, “Stars mentioned during his transfer that he hopes his future teammates will be well-behaved kids. What do you think now, especially after your marksman bullied Quan?”
Cheng Che understood the implicit meaning and turned to look at her in confusion, while A Hua could only helplessly glance back at him.
There was no choice, work compelled them.
“Well, I quite like the kids now,” Lin Xingling replied.
They may not be well-behaved, but I like them.
[” Dad Star likes the current kids, and Cheng Cheng is one of the current kids, which means Dad Star likes Cheng Cheng~”]
[“Cheng Cheng little brother is not well-behaved. [Laughing and crying]”]
[“Clear: Are you guys deliberately provoking me? [Clown]”]
On the way back home, Lin Xingling rode his electric scooter alone, while Cheng Che said he would accompany Liu Ying on the bus and rest his shoulder on him, but he ended up standing him up.
On the road, Lin Xingling thought about many things, like fountain bullying, and that dirty phrase… but when he got home, he didn’t say anything.
There was nothing much to say about the fountain bullying incident; it happened, Cheng Che apologized voluntarily, and they just needed to pay the fine.
As for the phrase “guard your mother’s home,” the kid was already grown up, and he didn’t need to be so strict with him.
When he got home, he called Cheng Che over and asked him to post an apology on Weibo to ANT.
Cheng Che refused and showed him the explanation he had posted on the bus.
[DCT-Clear]:
It wasn’t Quan bullying; blocking Nu Wa was just to protect the siege tower.
[Rolling eyes and forehead donation·JPG]
This explanation could also be justified… Lin Xingling reluctantly accepted this explanation.
Regardless of the Weibo rumors and speculations, it had nothing to do with them after all, because…
[DCT Esports Club]:
Killing Nuwa, protecting the siege tower… Well, after typing these words, we won’t have any more traffic.
[“Give me Xiao D’s phone number, and I’ll top up your account with 100 yuan”]
[“Really poor… I’m curious if my Cheng brat can eat three meals a day”]
[“Of course he can, otherwise, where would he find the energy to bully Quan? [Chuckling]”]
[“f you have time to bully Clear, you might as well check how many pages are left in your household registration book [Chuckling]”]
[” “Household Registration Book” by DCT-Clear”]
[“Now we’ve gone from being the poorest team in K League A to being the poorest team in KPL”]
[“That’s great, at least we’ve upgraded”]
Poor.
As for Cheng Che, the Moon Sisters, with their two million fans, would attack anyone who criticized his brat, just like when they protected Lian Hua.
C language, mom quotes, household registration book, thick black studies, yin-yang studies… they would go to any lengths.
Although the two Blacks weren’t attacked this time, they were also scared… After getting the coach’s approval, they posted on Weibo to protect themselves.
[ANT-Black’s Nuwa]:
Friendship first, competition second [Handshake]
@DCT-Clear
Cheng Che responded.
[DCT-Clear]: Friendship first [Handshake]
This matter has been settled… Coming and going in a hurry.
However, the question asked by A Hua about “good children” and Lin Xingling’s response made Cheng Che feel sad for a while.
Lin Xingling likes well-behaved people, but he feels that he himself is not well-behaved. Cheng Che sighed and looked at Liu Ying, who was sitting beside him with his face supported, waiting for him to sleep.
Although he was already very sleepy, he still had to wait.
This should be what being good means…
It doesn’t matter what Lin Xingling likes, it has nothing to do with himself!
Cheng Che thought to himself: It must be because he pitied the desolate King Wild who played as a support, so he wanted to pretend to be the kind of person he liked to make him happy. Yes, it must be like this!
After self-indulging for a few minutes, Cheng Che relieved himself and asked Liu Ying to get up and go back to the room.
Liu Ying yawned, “Are you going to… Ah… sleep?”
“You lie down on the bed first, I’ll go… take a shower and come back.” Cheng Che handed his arm to him to hold, then turned and looked at Wu You, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, playing with his phone. “I’m leaving.”
Wu You said, “Tsk, I’ll go take a shower too.”
Liu Ying said, “I…”
“Liu Ying, you don’t need to shower, just get a good night’s sleep. I think it might be because you didn’t sleep well last night… Tsk, I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow.” Liang Feng, who was reading a book on the side, said.
They checked his temperature as soon as they returned to the base, and it was normal, there was nothing else unusual, the child was just tired.
But because they were waiting for Cheng Che, they kept urging him several times but he didn’t go to sleep.
“Okay…” Liu Ying nodded obediently.
“Are you going to sleep now? Not going to eat?” Lin Xingling, who was preparing to go to the small kitchen to cook, asked.
The three of them nodded together like three little kittens:
“Not hungry.” “Not eating.” “Hmm.”
Lin Xingling said, “Then take some snacks and put them by the bed in case you get hungry.”
They all agreed in unison, “Okay~”
So the refrigerator was completely emptied.
Lin Xingling:…
…
DCT’s “Three Highs” dinner time.
High cold, tall, high IQ… One person should possess at least two of these qualities.
During this time, Lin Xingling asked the coach how he viewed the incident of bullying the spring water. Liang Feng just sipped his white wine and smiled, “Che has his own thoughts.”
“Yes.”
How could he not have his own thoughts, but some of them were too childish… Lin Xingling frowned and smiled.
Phantom ate silently.
“If only he could be as worry-free as Liu Ying…”
“No.” Before he could finish, Liang Feng shook his head, “Don’t say these things anymore. It will hurt the child’s feelings… Also, ask your own heart what it really thinks.”
Child… well-behaved… Cheng Che…
Cheng Che.
Child, obedient brat, Cheng Che… they are all Cheng Che.
Lin Xingling truly understood.
“Everyone has their own unique qualities, and we shouldn’t try to turn everyone into a stereotype based on one person’s preferences.”
Liang Feng lifted his wine cup and finished it in one gulp.
Not to say it was grand, but indeed chic.
Lin Xingling lowered his eyes, “You see clearly.”
“Not recognizing the true face of Mount Lu,” Liang Feng smiled, “only because I am in this mountain… Come, Xiao Pei, complete the poem.”
Phantom said, “Intoxicated by wine, the mood is dreamlike; during the imperial examination, there is no leisure.”
“…This child, this poem resonates with me.”
Liang Feng had another drink, “After you’ve eaten, go about your own business. I’ll have a little wine, and I’ll wash the dishes tonight.”
“…”
