Those Sweet Times

Chapter 22 Part 1

Zheng Dongkai happened to watch the mini map as Lin Chuyan killed Ah Ke.

To be honest, in the beginning he thought Lin Chuyan would definitely die. Daji
did have the ability to fight with Ah Ke face to face, but with Daji at low health, it
wouldn’t take much for Ah Ke to kill Daji. Lin Chuyan’s only chance for survival
would be avoiding Ah Ke long enough to cast all Daji’s abilities on Ah Ke.

The summoner ability Lin Chuyan brought with him was Flash. Flash was the ability
to instantly teleport a short distance away. It was the only escape ability Lin Chuyan
possessed and he hadn’t used it up till now. However he didn’t use Flash to escape,
rather he used Flash to go behind Ah Ke as Ah Ke was about to strike.

Since the timing of both of their actions was so close, it gave the illusion that they
happened instantaneously. From Ah Ke’s angle, she felt that she had hit Daji but
Daji was still alive.  

That’s probably why Ah Ke couldn’t die in peace.

What happened next was much simpler, the weak Daji cast a combo of her abilities,
sending Ah Ke to her grave.

Zheng Dongkai was quite shocked to watch what had unfolded. There were many
ways to use Flash but it was very rare to see such a daring move.

“You actually calculated that?” After the match was over, Zheng Dongkai asked
Lin Chuyan.

“With a little bit of luck. I calculated Ah Ke’s runes based on the most common set.
And it turned out that was the rune she was carrying.”

Runes were modifiers that players could buy and equip to a champion. It enhanced
a player’s champion from the start of the game. A full set of runes would give anyone
quite a starting advantage.

Zheng Dongkai: “So that’s all part of your calculations? What I don’t understand is
why did you use Flash right at the last moment? Are you just trying to get an
adrenaline rush?”

“Well, not really.” Lin Chuyan pursed his lips and answered: “I felt that it would’ve
been a bigger blow to her confidence.”

“..................” Zheng Dongkai raised his thumb in response. “I almost want to salute
you.”

“No need.” Lin Chuyan humbly replied. Then he added after giving it some thought:
“Actually, everyone behaves differently. My plans don’t work everytime. I really had
good luck this time around.”

Xiang Nuan worriedly said: “You’re only Gold and already playing so many tricks.
What happens if we get to be Master?”

Lin Chuyan smiled in amusement.

Zheng Dongkai had never seen Lin Chuyan smiled in such a way. It was a quiet
and reserved smile with his head slightly lowered.

Hehehe, he really knew how to pretend in front of girls.

After they won this match, they played another one since it was a best of three.
They won the second match as well. Xiang Nuan had to admit that Lin Chuyan’s
strategy of damaging the enemy’s confident really worked. Their opponents
performed poorly in the second match and even surrendered half way through.

Yao Jiamu stopped spectating the match and asked Shen Zemu next to her:
“What do you think?”

“It’s just like that.” Shen Zemu didn’t give a straight answer.

They were watching the match of Xiang Nuan’s team.

Yao Jiamu winked her eyes and asked with a smile: “Then who do you think has
better skills, Xiang Nuan or me?”

“You’re better than her.” Shen Zemu replied.

Though Yao Jiamu knew Shen Zemu was talking about their skills, she still felt
quite happy to hear those words.

“But,” Shen Zemu switched the subject: “she’s more talented than you. She’ll be
better than you in no time.”

It was a heavy blow to Yao Jiamu.

“Much better.” Shen Zemu added.

En, a double whammy.
