Chapter 3: Don’t Panic, I’ve Got This Round!
Chapter 3: Don’t Panic, I’ll Carry This Round!
Zhao Xin appeared, exuding a fierce killing aura!
All eyes of the audience were instantly drawn to him.
Titan flashed close to Lux, raising his rust-covered anchor high.
Passive: Overwhelming Force!
Titan’s passive granted him a 0.5-second immobilization on his first attack against different champions.
What can you do in half a second?
Blink once?
But for pro players, that’s more than enough.
“So flashy! I’m following!” Sad swiftly shouted, decisively flashing forward.
Flash plus E—a gap-closing dash of over a thousand units. As long as he could touch the hem of Lux’s clothes, who had no flash, she was as good as dead.
Not enough!!
E wouldn’t activate!
His fingers furiously tapped the keyboard, but all he got were countless “Skill out of range” prompts.
It’s the support…
Clearing the path!
“There’s no way I’ll let you escape!” Missing snorted coldly as Titan’s anchor aimed straight at the fleeing Lux.
Since the system had kicked in, it was time to make the most of it! Fight to break through the siege and crush the arrogance of the Korean team.
If you play poorly, people will criticize you; if you play well, you’ll earn praise.
Wink blinked and was dumbfounded.
“???”
“Sorry, Cheng Xuan, I didn’t know you were this strong!”
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining an A-level buff status—Last-Hitting God!]
Zhao Xin appearing in the lower jungle meant he couldn’t quickly reach the upper jungle—basic knowledge.
Wink glanced at Lux, who was at full health, still hesitating.
A support farming minions…
Then, in the next moment, his eyes widened!
At that very instant, Cheng Xuan’s system alert began its countdown.
After a burst of crackling light and explosive sound effects on the screen:
[Full-Level Experience Card remaining time—1 second!]
“I’m super! Xuan!”
For a long time afterward, without jungle help, Gwen on the top lane would be forced into passive farming. Though she took a Q from Ezreal, the enemy lost their other chasing abilities, diffusing the threat.
Yes… exactly.
---
[Full-Level Experience Card remaining time—3 seconds!]
The first small skirmish ended with a great victory for IG.
[Beep! Your experience time has ended. Please earn more match wins to raise your skill cap!]
The strange feeling Cheng Xuan had while staring at the screen faded, and he returned to his usual state of mind—seeing the mountain as a mountain, the water as water.
Is this damn system mocking me?
If I steal the minions, won’t the AD just flame me to death?
…
But if memory serves, Cheng Xuan’s system could activate a random status each game.
Still, unable to resist Cheng Xuan’s loud voice, he decisively acted.
Suddenly.
Before traveling through time, Cheng Xuan had watched the S11 finals this year; some teams' losses were so ridiculous he didn’t even know where to start complaining.
Truly, Cao Pi’s wife entering a greenhouse, Zhen Ji pulling vegetables.
IG’s early small skirmish paid off big!
“Damn! Mazi’s so strong!” IG’s in-game voice chat. If it weren’t a real match, Wink would have slapped his thigh.
“Confirmed!”
“Brothers, there’s a cheat!”
Wink’s perfectly timed healing also played a crucial role.
Unexpectedly, that healing helped Lux create distance from Titan, who flashed in but couldn’t latch on. A quick dodge and a twist of her hips evaded Titan’s hook, turning danger into safety.
Now, Lee Sin in the top jungle could roam freely—ganking your top, beating your kid, crashing your wife, eating your frog!
As the scene shifted rapidly, Missing furrowed his brow, watching Lux get further away. He slammed down Q.
Q missed!
Ah, crap…
Lux’s movement was an almost unbelievable vertical L-shaped dodge, narrowly avoiding his hook.
During the crisis, Cheng Xuan’s voice rang out frantically in voice chat, “Heal me! Heal me quick!”
After farming minions, it was time to recall.
Equipped.
Yes, very satisfying!
This was the smoothest laning phase he’d had in the bottom lane. For the first seven or eight minutes, he farmed safely without trouble, even gaining a slight advantage since the enemy AD and support had no flash.
Cheng Xuan confirmed his role again.
“Who the hell can pull off that kind of dodging?”
You want me, as support, to steal AD’s minions?
“Leave it to me! Shy, wait for me—I’ll help you deal with their top soon!” Xun chimed in.
[Full-Level Experience Card remaining time—2 seconds!]
Impossible!

“Activated?”
“I’m super?”
Just as Sad’s expression showed confident determination—
“If I take these five or six low-health minions, I can go back and buy Noonquiver. Then pushing with that pressure—tsk tsk. The chat surely won’t blame me anymore, right?” Wink beamed at the cluster of weakened minions.
[Each minion last-hit increases overall strength by 10% (lasting this match)!]
[Confirm to activate random status? Reminder: Random status may be a buff or debuff. Winning with a buff grants 100% system experience; winning with a debuff grants 150% system experience.]
Oh no, the cheat’s gone.
“Xun, Zhao Xin showed up in the bottom lane. What’s the plan?” Cheng Xuan smiled calmly.
Watching Zhao Xin retreating and the WE bottom duo falling back, the chat exploded with question marks floating across the screen.
“Hey! Light Binding! Lucent Singularity!” Lux shouted sharply in-game, firing Q and E in quick succession.
“How…”
…
Soon, accompanied by a clear humming sound, Cheng Xuan’s expression shifted slightly.
Of course, WE sensed this too, frantically signaling their top laner, Breathe, to retreat.
“Mazi’s on fire this game, brothers! Buy items fast! Buy, buy, buy! Let’s get IG the win!”
Lux’s individual movement forced both Titan and Zhao Xin to flash, and she also relayed Zhao Xin’s bottom lane presence to jungler Xun.
Just as Wink had made up his mind—
His expression froze.
“Great job, Xuan,” even TheShy praised in broken Chinese.
“Activating random status!” Cheng Xuan thought.
Breathe looked at the pushed lane and painfully withdrew, allowing Jayce to reach level 3 first.
The distance…
Since we’re here, might as well charge ahead!
As long as it’s not some “Disarm Surrender” debuff, it’s fine.
Countless times off-stage using this season’s popular Zhao Xin, Sad was confident in controlling Zhao Xin’s E range. As long as Titan could lock Lux in place, the distance was definitely enough!
“It’s the heal!! Wink’s healing was perfectly timed! It gave Lux a small speed boost, and Titan’s flash followed by a missed auto attack caused the chain reaction: Zhao Xin flashing plus E distance not enough!” Shun instantly switched to passionate commentary mode, raising his voice several decibels.
I’m super?
Where are my minions?
I was just here, with that huge cluster of low-health minions!
Then, the culprit who stole the minions leisurely said:
“Don’t panic, I’ll carry this round.”
“???”
