T/N: Happy new year! Hope you enjoy the first chapter of 2020!
(Also, if you have alcohol on hand, take a shot every time KK says ‘Liang’, but please ensure that you have the hospital on speed dial for your own safety x)
KK was obviously shocked. Except Liao Su, everyone in the live broadcasting room burst out into exclamations.
【No way!!! On site black magic?】
【This Zhong Kui is 66666】
【Covering my face in shock!! Suddenly, I feel like that Zhong Kui is very handsome!】
【Did Brother Zhong Kui switch out with someone else?】
【This wave was really showy, and the reversal is better than a TV series.】
【KK, does your face hurt, does it hurt or not!】
KK swept through the comments in the live broadcasting chat, and his voice did not have a trace of embarrassment. Instead, he sounded very excited.
“This Brother Zhong Kui really concealed himself deeply without even showing a hint of his head! Brother Zhong Kui, ah no!” After seriously looking You Liangxing’s in-game name, KK smiled happily, saying: “Brother Liang Liang! Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang, Brother Liang Liang bring me around to fly~”
Liao Su was not certain if it was an illusion, but he clearly saw that after KK called him Liang Liang, Zhong Kui seemed to pause at where he was standing. After pausing, he returned back to the base to replenish his health as if he did not want to be with Naoko Lulu under the tower.
KK: “En? Liang Liang, why did you leave, there is medicine here~ After eating the medicine, we can stroll together~ Ah… he really left, yi, if I was aware of this earlier, I would have brought heal, so he couldn’t bear to leave me the entire game.”
In King’s Glory, heroes were allowed to bring a few spells like heal, sprint, cleanse and ignite, etcetera. Heals were exactly just that – it could add blood points to the hero’s health, but people who played jungling heroes typically brought smite as their additional skill to speed up their jungle clearing speed. KK was no exception.
The most correct choice thus came into contention, and the entire live broadcasting started laughing.
【Hahaha what the hell, bringing heal? Have you forgotten that you are a bird-raising little girl!】
【Let’s be real, even if you brought heal, Zhong Kui would still ignore you!】
【KK has become a blind man.】
【Naoko Lulu teasing Zhong Kui, what a terrible disparity in the style of painting.】
【Zhong Kui does not want your heals and he threw a super soldier at you instead.】
KK laughed: “I don’t care. Either way, I am going to be with Liang Liang. Just wait for it, Liang Liang will return to my side. While that happens, in this wave, I’ll show off my skills to all of you.”
【Eh, what do you even mean by return to your side.】
【Speak seriously, what is there to show off! Are you even as skilled as that Zhong Kui!】
Roasting was roasting, while everyone was watching KK clear the monsters in the jungle, they were also waiting for Zhong Kui to return.
Witnessing KK’s operational skills was something they saw daily, whereas everyone wanted to see how Zhong Kui would continue to perform, and cofirm whether the reversal that had occurred previously was a fluke or actual skill.
However, no one could have thought that after replenishing his health, Zhong Kui did not return back to the middle lane. Instead, he walked into the bottom lane with an awe-inspiring bearing, his lonesome figure arrogant.
Ming Shiyin, who was also in the bottom lane, came out of the bush and converged on Zhong Kui before using his ability. A string of purple appeared on Zhong Kui’s figure, and the two of them became connected into one.
KK: “??? My Liang Liang!?”
The entire chat was shocked for a moment before they burst into laughter.
【Ahahaha holy shit! Liang Liang really doesn’t want to be associated with you!】
【The middle lane’s mage dislikes KK so much that they even abandoned their lane hahahaha!】
【Zhong Kui: If you don’t leave, this father will leave.】
【Congratulations to Zhong Kui and Ming Shiyin for joining hands, the Heaven and Earth of the King’s Canyon are your witnesses.】
The Ming Shiyin at the bottom lane was not some random person but Liang Chuhan who was in a duo with him.
Although she chose an auxiliary hero, it just so happened that there was no marksman in their team and she had to guard the bottom lane by herself. Even though the enemy’s marksman had an auxiliary support and his items, they didn’t manage to kill her.
Liang Chuhan was a little irritable. When they initially started being in a duo, she wanted to prove that her skills were not weak but she met with an unfavourable matchup. With You Liangxing coming from the middle lane to the bottom one in a timely and considerate manner, Liang Chuhan’s heart started pounding as she said: “School senior, I’ll support you.”
With Ming Shiyin towing at the side, Zhong Kui’s attack speed increased. Adding on the fact that You Liangxing’s technique was decent, he quickly harvested a double kill after his output increased.
Liang Chuhan’s mood brightened considerably after being able to support You Liangxing. Although he did not speak, Liang Chuhan knew he was listening, “School senior, shall we go to the middle lane after taking this tower?”
You Liangxing quickly took down the tower before he turned around to rush for the middle lane. On screen, Ming Shiyin followed behind closely, and the purple line connecting them made them seem extremely close.
Liang Chuhan could not help but smile a little. And before the smile could lower, a little girl drilled out from the brushes just as Zhong Kui and Ming Shiyin were heading towards the middle lane. She stood between the two of them, and the purple line seemed to be chewed off when it went through her character.
KK: “Hahahaha! Look at me, look at me! Person C has made their debut!”
Even a gentle person like Liang Chuhan wanted to curse at him.
The live broadcasting room laughed.
【Hahahaha enough with you!!!】
【The wails of a single dog, can’t you just let other people have their own public display of affection! 】
【Great Tang’s Ming Shiyin will not show you any mercy.】
Liang Chuhan quickly changed her positioning, but just as she moved, Naoko Lulu moved as well. Despite trying for a long time, she could not shake Naoko Lulu off; she was stuck between her and You Liangxing, flexible and sticky.
KK: “Youngster, your footwork isn’t very good~ Come, if you give Liang Liang and I some space, I will let you lie down and win.”
Curses appeared in chat. 【Pei! You still want to let someone lie down and win, do you even have any kills! None! Trash!】
【What space, wouldn’t it be faster to win with Ming Shiyin!】
【Stop using your excellent positioning to stick your foot in, have you ever considered your audience’s feelings when you are posturing like this!】
【Ah, I really want to hear what Liang Liang is thinking on the inside.】
Liang Chuhan frowned, there was really no end to this. She and You Liangxing had just arrived at the middle lane when the enemy team gathered together due to the 5 to 0 result (kills). Although it was a five against three, Liang Chuhan did not think that it was unwinnable. With You Liangxing, her and the game anchor, victory was still within their grasp.
Sticking close to You Liangxing, she stepped up. Ming Shiyin was a melee hero, and it was inevitable that she had to be in front. However, just as she moved forward, Naoko Lulu, who had been stuck between her and You Liangxing, stepped back.
Liang Chuhan was stunned, and the Ming Shiyin on screen rapidly lost his health and died in less than two seconds.
The death notice ‘You have been slain’ echoed in her ears. Naoko Lulu jumped in at that moment and stepped on Ming Shiyin’s corpse, claiming four kills in a blink of eye after casting a set of skills.
— An enemy has been slain!
— Double Kill!
— Triple Kill!
— Quadra Kill!
Simultaneously, You Liangxing’s Zhong Kui lived up to expectations and accurately hooked onto the enemy marksman before killing him, destroying the entire enemy team.
A wave of flowers came from the sky, and the live broadcasting room experienced an upsurge of high energy.
【Hmpf, KK finally remembered that he is a game anchor!】
【Strongly requesting for a tutorial on Naoko Lulu from KK!】
【Hahahaha KK is so bad he can fly!】
【Ming Shiyin exploded on the spot.】
Liang Chuhan, at that instant: “…..”
Pei! Trash anchor!
His gaming sense seriously! Sucks!
After kicking away Ming Shiyin and destroying the enemy team, Naoko Lulu and Zhong Kui finally stood side by side again. The pair pushed the middle lane, leading the minions to quickly attack the tower.
KK’s happiness was overflowing, “Liang! Liang Liang! Liang Liang Liang! Was I handsome just now? Handsome or not? Compared to your Zhong Kui, it is not far off right?”
Zhong Kui did not return a single word while they pushed towards higher ground. In the early stages of the game, the respawn timer was very short. The highland tower was only partially broken when the enemy team revived.
Five enemies rushed out from the highland tower and Naoko Lulu laughed, “My five kills are coming~”
However, harvesting all five kills was impossible. Even if the enemies and the two, You Liangxing and KK, had a skill gap, they could not kill anyone when the enemies were sitting under the tower like turtles, refusing to come out. They stayed out of Naoko Lulu’s attack range and clustered together, refusing to give her an opportunity to come under the tower to kill them.
KK: “See, it is at this juncture you will understand the importance of Zhong Kui. Liang Liang~ My Liang Liang~ Hook them!”
At that second, under the audience’s fervent attention, Zhong Kui paused in place and released his skill in the direction of the tower. The hook bypassed the enemy tank and mage, accurately hooking the marksman Hou Yi, and dragged him before his eyes.
KK laughed madly, surprised, “Holy shit, a crackshot!”
After a while, it set off another surge of crazed ridicule, anyone could see that Liang Liang’s hook were really accurate and it was not by chance!
【KKKK! Do you see this person’s Zhong Kui!】
【This is what it means to be called Zhong Kui! Godly hooks, do you understand!】
As soon as the marksman came out from the tower, Naoko Lulu deftly auto attacked him to death. The enemies still refused to come out of the tower. KK smiled, saying, “Liang Liang Liang, hook another!”
The pause that Zhong Kui made was more obvious this time. After turning left and right, he released his skill towards the tower and hooked out the mage Zhen Yi.
It was accurate to the point of giving people a scare.
KK expressed his heartfelt admiration, “666! 666! Cheering for my Liang Liang, for him to hook wherever I point at, he’s really skilled!!”
KK’s voice was excited and active, like he had become an enthusiastic little brother. If he had made fun of the bronze Zhong Kui out of jest in the beginning, there was not an iota of that person left. The entire room was a flurry of comments.
【Papapa, papapa.】
【Hear that? It is the sound of a face being slapped.】
In a blink of an eye, the mage and marksman had already been hooked. The enemy tank was so angry that he typed:
— Is there even farts left to play! If you have a main account, why do you have to come to bronze!!
In one sentence, the extent of collapse within the enemy team could be perceived. Despite the collapse, the other team did not surrender. In a situation of imminent wholesale extermination, the enemy could only suffer bitterly until both sides were gathered together in front of the enemy’s crystal nexus, each waiting for an opening.
But the gap between both sides was obvious; soon enough, four players on the enemy’s side died, and the remaining one was forced to retreat back to the fountain. Even though the nexus was about to be broken, Naoko Lulu took no notice of it and only stared at the Hou Yi who was shivering in the fountain before saying: “Liang Liang~ Liang Liang~ Hook him!”
There was no verbal reply and Zhong Kui did not move. But KK’s urging voice became tighter, “Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang Liang, quickly, hurry, hurry, hook him hook him, Liang Liang? Liang Liang Liang Liang…”
KK kept on going without stopping and the entire chat was in a fit of laughter.
【Hahahaha show some mercy to that Hou Yi!】
【If I was that Liang Liang, I would have been irritated to death by you!】
KK’s voice did not stop, and the two words ‘Liang Liang’ incessantly entered their ears. However, Zhong Kui stood by the crystal nexus, unmoving. Suddenly, the opening of a microphone was transmitted over in the team voice channel. After a bit of rustling, a tender and soft voice spoke.
Zhong Kui: “If you can’t, don’t bb.”
Today on trivia you did not need to know: KK said ‘Liang’ seventy-three times and more in this chapter alone x)
Here’s to hoping you have a good year ahead of you!
