Chapter 35: Nationality Warning

After delivering his harsh words, Jiang Yun threw himself wholeheartedly into the game. Because there was no level one teamfight, the opposing mid laner had no idea what skill Jiang Yun had learned, while Jiang Yun was certain that the opponent had taken Q. So, as soon as the minion wave appeared, Jiang Yun baited the opponent's movement, instantly learned E to close the gap, and, relying on lethal tempo, attacked until the opponent was left with a sliver of health. Then, flashing under the tower, he secured a solo kill and flashed the "Pathetic" emote.

Witnessing this, the live chat began commenting on the opposing Princess Qian Qian.
"Her skill level is obvious."
"Approaching the minion wave without knowing what Yasuo learned and staying away from the tower—this player's game sense is questionable."
"Although Emerald rank isn’t high-tier, the opposing mid is clearly lacking."
"There’s a reason why a mid laner in a winning game can only score a 6.0."
"..."

Seeing the comments, Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Brothers, the game is over!"

Though he had only killed the opponent once, he still had half his health remaining, plus a healing potion, so he could easily stay in lane. The opponent hadn't gained a single minion's experience. By the time she returned, Jiang Yun would already be level three. With the minion wave pushing into the tower, it quickly formed a reverse push.

Jiang Yun seized another opportunity, traded blows, and forced the opponent’s health down. At this point, the opposing jungler likely heard the mid laner's call for help and rushed to assist. But unfortunately, their jungler was a snowman.

After Jiang Yun dodged the snowball by staying near the minion wave, he immediately counterattacked. Without the snowball, the snowman was like a ranged minion—no attack power, little defense, and low health. Jiang Yun forced a flash out of him, sending him scurrying away from mid.

Jiang Yun noticed the opponent leaving toward the F6 camp, so after pushing the minion wave into the tower again, he warded F6 for vision. Sure enough, the snowman was farming F6!

Without hesitation, Jiang Yun used the vision to E through the wall onto the small Krugs, and unleashed a flurry of attacks on the snowman. Without flash, the snowman had no escape and tearfully surrendered his double buffs.

Only when the snowman died did the tiny mage finally arrive. Although Jiang Yun's health was low, with his wind wall still available, he stubbornly held on and finished off the tiny mage.

When Jiang Yun recalled at the enemy’s second tower with only seven health remaining, he flashed the "Crying with Laughter" emote and dropped a question mark in all chat.

"?"

After returning to base and pocketing a fortune, Jiang Yun upgraded his items and headed straight to the enemy’s lower jungle, not even glancing at mid lane.

"The snowman has no flash. He’ll surely use snowball to speed up and clear jungle on his way out. There's only a group of stone golems in the upper jungle, so he won’t go there. He must be in the lower jungle. When we get there, he should be clearing the frog camp—we should be able to catch him."

Jiang Yun explained as he moved.

Viewers in the stream recognized the routine.

"It’s starting, the enemy’s about to become a toy."

"The snowman is already squishy, and with Yun’s gear, if he meets the snowman in the jungle, he’ll melt him instantly."

"The cat climbing tree is about to break~"
"In this situation, the jungler would usually drop a question mark for the mid laner, but since their team is full of bootlickers, they can only grit their teeth and swallow it—maybe even get flamed by their own mid."
"......"

While chatting, Jiang Yun found the snowman at the frog camp, just as he predicted. Without flash and snowball, the snowman couldn’t even run, and fell instantly to Jiang Yun’s blade.

"Crying with Laughter"
"?"

Same familiar emote and question mark.

Crucially, after all this, Jiang Wen didn’t return to mid, but instead headed straight for the bot lane.

At this moment, the enemy’s bot duo was pushing the line. When Jiang Yun arrived, they tried to retreat, but their minion wave had just spawned. Jiang Yun used the minions to unleash a barrage of attacks. With the help of his own bot duo and the arriving jungler, they wrapped around the enemy's bot duo, taking them both down in a four-on-two.

"Pathetic"
"?"

Along the way, Jiang Yun grabbed two bot lane waves for himself. The AD carry had no complaints, even typing, "Mid can take it, I’m recalling."

"Good thinking," Jiang Yun replied to the AD.

After another recall and resupply, when he returned to mid, he was ahead of the enemy’s tiny mage by at least two thousand gold.

A huge gold lead, combined with superior skill, meant Jiang Yun no longer treated the enemy mid as a real opponent. He dove towers and killed at will; even when the jungler arrived, it was just another delivery.

Every time he killed the enemy, Jiang Yun sent a question mark, alternating between "Pathetic" and "Crying with Laughter" emotes.

During another routine bot lane gank, the enemy finally exploded.

The enemy’s AD typed at Jiang Yun in all chat.

"Yasuo, what are you pretending for? If it wasn’t for our mid and jungle being feeders, would you even be ahead?"

Seeing this, Jiang Yun chuckled and addressed his stream viewers: "He’s triggered!"

Then, Jiang Yun replied in chat.

"True, your mid and jungle are pretty dumb. I’m just practicing champions and still getting random kills."

Jiang Yun said this because he noticed this fan account hadn’t played much Yasuo before. And he knew by taunting like this, the enemy AD would surely break down and start flaming their own mid and jungle.

Sure enough.

"Please help report our mid and jungle, pure feeders. It's really ELO hell from the system, getting matched with these—"
"scum"
"dogs"

Jiang Yun: "Alright!"

Jiang Yun’s "Alright" was just like Princess Qian Qian’s "Alright" from the last game—instantly breaking defenses.

Only this time, it was Princess Qian Qian herself who broke.

Princess Qian Qian: "What are you pretending for? Smurfing and acting like you’re good? If you’re really skilled, go play on the top server! Go play in Challenger! Why are you showing off in Emerald?"

Princess Qian Qian: "You wouldn’t even dare to snipe me if I agreed to voice chat. You’re just a loser, and you’ll always be one."

Princess Qian Qian: "I bet only people who are unhappy in real life act like this."

Princess Qian Qian: "Just accept that you’ll be a loser forever!"

"........"

Seeing Princess Qian Qian’s barrage of messages, Jiang Yun silently gave a thumbs-up.

"See, someone’s triggered!"

The stream viewers laughed along.

"Definitely, someone’s losing it!"

"Look at how skilled she is at dodging forbidden words—must flame people a lot."

"She’s got the keyword filters down pat, must have a foul mouth normally!"

"Classic, warning for real-life misery!"

"My blind guess is this is a Rumble fan!"

"Hey, nationality warning for that guess!"

"........."

Though the enemy was furious, it changed nothing.

The angrier she got, the happier Jiang Yun became, and the more lively the stream chat grew.

Finally, amid cheers and laughter, the enemy’s base exploded.

The moment the game ended, two friend requests popped up in Jiang Yun’s corner.

One was Princess Qian Qian, the other was Qian Qian’s Cat Climbing Tree.
