Chapter 24 He's the God of the Underworld, I'll Eat Shit Live on Livestream
Ye Lan leaned back in her gaming chair. "Qin Shu isn't mute, why don't you just ask him if you're so curious?"
He's not a gossip.
What's the point of him telling people things that even they themselves are unwilling to talk about?
Having been rebuffed, these people had no choice but to return to the Winner and Loser couple's live stream.
Just then, Qin Shu's game had finished updating and was launched.
"bring it on."
"Are you sure you don't want to practice?" Ye Lan asked again.
"No need." Qin Shu said casually, then clicked into the game and invited Ye Lan to start a 1v1 battle.
To be fair, their heroes are exactly the same.
Because of the variety show camera angles, Qin Shu could only vaguely see the operation interface, while the game interface was on Ye Lan's side. However, since it was a live PK, it didn't affect the fact that viewers on both sides could see the battle live at the same time.
Judging from Shu-ge's nonchalant demeanor, he's sure to win, right?
[I doubt it. I've also played Honor of Kings. I just glanced at it, and Shu's rank is only Diamond, while the opponent has a player with a top-five mark in the national server. The skill gap is significant.]
On the other side, the viewers in Ye Lan's live stream were also staring at the screen, and many of them noticed Qin Shu's ID.
Pluto.
[This name looks familiar.]
[Holy crap, isn't that Hades's ID?!]
Pluto, the Latin name for Hades, the Greek god of the underworld, is also a name for the planet Pluto.
During the peak years of "Honor of Kings", someone used this ID to be ranked first in the entire server's combat power ranking for three consecutive years. He was almost undefeated in both one-on-one and team battles, and could be called a genius player at the ceiling level of "Honor of Kings".
Almost everyone knew this name. Even the strongest team at the time, Starry Sky, extended an invitation to Hades, but unexpectedly, they were decisively rejected.
Subsequently, Hades formed his own team, "Gods," and led the team to overcome all obstacles, achieving a grand slam in the Glory International Team Tournament within just two years.
The gods still exist, but the God of the Underworld has completely retreated into the background and rarely appears online.
In the past two years, e-sports has swept across the world, with new streamers and star players emerging one after another. However, the legend of the "God of the Underworld" still circulates in the e-sports circle. Many players learned their techniques by watching his match videos.
The only problem is that Hades' playstyle is aggressive, and few people can master it. But those who can learn it generally make rapid progress in their gameplay.
Ye Lan was one of them.
He is called "Night God" partly because his game is called Nightfall.
More importantly, many people regard him as the successor to Hades, and he is even known as the "Little Hades" in the circle.
Now, the Little God of the Underworld is facing off against the God of the Underworld...
[Is it a coincidence? In Glory, IDs cannot be the same in the same server, but there is no restriction on IDs in different servers. After Hades became famous, that name has long been everywhere, and it is not uncommon to have the same name, unless he is in the same server.]
Pluto, from Zone 1, "Moon Over the River".
That is the true God of the Underworld.
While the comments section was discussing IDs, Qin Shu and Ye Lan had already started their first match.
Ye Lan lived up to her title of Little Underworld God, playing aggressively and showing her sharp edge from the start. In contrast, Qin Shu's playstyle was relatively conservative, even spending the beginning of the game clearing monsters and farming gold in the jungle, only occasionally going to the mid lane to farm minions.
[A player from Zone 1 reports: Looks like I don't need to log in to see if Hades is online anymore. With this roundabout way of playing, if he's Hades, I'll eat shit on stream!]
[Economy is certainly useful, but your own tower is almost destroyed, and you still don't dare to engage head-on. Looks like a newbie who's afraid of dying.]
As they were talking, Ye Lan suddenly emerged from the bushes next to Qin Shu. After a series of maneuvers, Qin Shu barely escaped with 10% health and returned to town to replenish his health and mana.
[Damn, what a pity! We almost killed him!]
[He almost fed kills right from the start, no wonder Qin Shu has no chance of winning]
The comments section was overwhelmingly pessimistic about Qin Shu, and Ye Lan herself also felt regretful, as she was just a hair's breadth away from getting the first kill.
So he became even more aggressive in his play, even abandoning the minion wave and chasing after Qin Shu. Several times, he almost killed him, but Qin Shu escaped with a sliver of health.
For the first five minutes, we hadn't gained any advantage whatsoever, except that our minions managed to take down the enemy's first defensive tower.
After Qin Shu returned to the city to replenish his health once again, Ye Lan vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
What a coincidence!
If it was just a near-death escape, it could be a coincidence.
But this time, there's only one possibility...
The precise score control of top students!
Just then, a golden pop-up message appeared: the first tower on both flanks of our team had been destroyed at the same time!
Ye Lan's pupils dilated in shock.
We've fallen for their trap!
Just now, Qin Shu seemed to be taking a roundabout approach, but in reality, he single-handedly farmed the minion waves and jungle resources on three lanes. In just five minutes, he not only pushed down two towers but also cleared the entire jungle.
He was clearly one person, but he performed like a team!
On the other hand, Ye Lan herself still stuck to the 1v1 mentality, either only guarding the mid lane or chasing after Qin Shu when he was low on health, thus missing the best opportunity to develop herself.
Given the current situation, the only thing he can do is to charge into the middle lane alone in hopes of quickly taking down the enemy's city.
Having figured this out, Ye Lan took advantage of Qin Shu's move to the top lane to accelerate her attack on the mid lane. Unexpectedly, Qin Shu, who had already left, suddenly rushed out from the bushes and used a set of skills to kill Ye Lan.
He was completely powerless to fight back.
While waiting to respawn, Qin Shu had already pushed down Ye Lan's first mid-lane tower with the minion wave, and even devoured all the jungle monsters in Ye Lan's territory.
Qin Shu's rapid development resulted in significantly higher equipment and damage output compared to Ye Lan. With three lanes advancing simultaneously, no matter which lane Ye Lan went to rescue, the remaining two lanes were in grave danger.
The outcome is decided.
"I lost." Ye Lan put down her phone, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Giving up until the very last moment?" Qin Shu stopped playing his hero. He looked up, his eyes deep and unfathomable beneath his wispy hair. "Are you this cowardly when you're playing?"
"You're the coward!" Ye Lan suddenly opened her eyes and retorted instinctively.
But when she met Qin Shu's eyes and saw his mocking expression, she remembered the battle they had just fought.
He lost.
but……
"That was just a coincidence. I didn't expect you to use the other two lines."
"Just because you didn't expect it doesn't mean there's something wrong with my playing style. When you're playing a match, your opponent won't tell you in advance which path you can take and which path you can't. As long as you're within the rules, it's not an excuse for your mistakes."
Qin Shu leaned back, still looking lazy and casual, but the words he spoke were anything but polite.
Ye Lan clenched her fist.
"Again!"
"I'd be happy to oblige."
In the second round, to prevent Qin Shu from using the same trick again, Ye Lan did not chase after him to kill him, but instead ran back and forth along the three lanes to lead the attack.
After he pushed down the first defensive towers on both flanks of Qin Shu, he finally calmed down.
The situation was very similar to the first game, but the advantage and disadvantage were completely reversed.
But before Ye Lan could be happy, he belatedly realized that while he was wasting his time running around the three lanes, Qin Shu had completely devoured his team's jungle economy.
By the time he needed it, his entire fortune had already been emptied.
The central tower was suddenly lost.
Ye Lan rushed to the rescue, but was instantly killed due to her economic disadvantage.
Resurrect, charge!
Died again.
By the time he died for the third time, Qin Shu had already arrived at the city gates with lightning speed.
The soldiers he led on the two flanks only managed to destroy the second of the three towers.
"Your wings are just bait!" Ye Lan finally realized.
In this game, Qin Shu deliberately abandoned the two flanks!
"Tactics are never just about copying blindly; you have to know what to do in order to understand why."
Qin Shu's voice was lazy, but his hands moved quickly. He led his soldiers and demolished Ye Lan's house in no time.
The entire process took six minutes.
"Again!"
Ye Lan slammed her fist on the table, feeling resentful.
Qin Shu casually tossed her phone aside and lifted her eyelids.
"Best of three, you've already lost."
"It's not the last moment yet!" Ye Lan gritted her teeth.
Qin Shu raised an eyebrow slightly.
That's what he just asked Ye Lan.
While there's no need to continue in terms of winning or losing, it's certainly not the final moment in terms of morale.
"Okay, one last round." Qin Shu grabbed his phone. "If you can kill me once, then you win."
