Chapter 20 A Disgusting Match
Jiang Jinhan, just like usual, started her live stream while playing games.
Today was his day off, so instead of logging into his main account, he logged into the livestream owner's account, thinking he could help the owner rank up while he was getting into a rhythm.
Unexpectedly, the top player made a clever move, thinking that since he had already qualified, he would finish the match first, but he ended up encountering the eccentric opponent An Jin.
————
After An Jin finished criticizing the comments and entered the game, she sensed something was wrong during the level 1 team fight.
Where is the enemy bot laner?
An Jin frowned, controlling her game character to ride on Happy Superman's head. Together with 76, the three of them, like brainless brutes, ventured deep into the opponent's lower jungle to search for someone.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jinhan was on the opposing team, and the support player was quite obedient. As soon as they saw An Jin's jungler show up, they listened to their teammates' signals and hid.
Jiang Jinhan glanced at An Jin and her two companions, who were brazenly searching for someone in plain sight, and frowned as she interacted with the live chat: "What kind of scheme is this? How dare they be so bold?"
As he spoke, he opened the game page, noted down the names, and typed them out on the app that showed his match history with astonishing speed.
This app can find hidden game records, and it's popular among high-level players.
For a time, the app even spawned a viral gaming meme because it allowed users to check their battle records. Players were categorized into top-tier, mid-tier, bottom-tier, and mediocre horses based on their previous game performance.
At this point, some people became curious: why are there only four horses when there are five people in total?
Is it possible that the missing horse is yourself?
Jiang Jinhan smiled when he saw the game stats. The minion waves hadn't even appeared yet, and the chat was full of people curiously asking him what he was laughing about.
Jiang Jinhan didn't say anything.
He's very popular now, and as a public figure, there are some things he can think about but can't say.
Jiang Jinhan didn't say anything, which only made the viewers in the live chat even more curious.
Some clever kids immediately memorized An Jin's name and went to the app to search for it.
Anjin's game account is a newly created alt account. The cat is the original cat skin, without any skins, but the stats and win rate are exceptionally good.
Her account was only in Gold rank in solo/duo queue, but she reached Platinum rank in flex queue because she played with her boss for several days in a row.
They win more than they lose, with a win rate of over 90%.
In other words, to other players who don't know that An Jin is a streamer, she is a real girl with a cute girl name like "An An Can't Sleep," who only plays cats and plays high-win-rate low-to-mid-rank smurf accounts in five-player or multiplayer games.
The other bosses in An Jin's car were people who brought girls with them.
Especially when combined with the scene where Jiang Jinhan entered the game, and as soon as he positioned himself and placed a ward, An Jin and the other two aggressively invaded.
Whether it was the silent Jiang Jinhan or the viewers in the live broadcast room, they all labeled An Jin and the other two based on prejudice and stereotypes.
76 and Happy Superman are the ones who bring girls along, while An Jin is the one who gets brought along.
Wow, we've run into a car convoy with girls.
Is the cat the younger sister?
That cat is doomed; after this match, the entire team will probably disband.
I checked their stats, and this team is pretty strong. Yesterday they were all in Gold and Platinum tiers, winning over ten games in a row. This afternoon, they're all in Diamond and Master tiers.
After taking a look, it seems a bit like a winning account.
No wonder I was matched with a streamer, the Elo system is kicking in, winning too much will get you punished, hahaha.
I hate these kinds of female players who help you rank up. They get carried to ranks that aren't yours and then come and torment us locals.
Huh? This is starting a fight? The game allows multiplayer and you're complaining? People usually play with friends, so you don't need to worry about this because you can't even get a match.
: LOL, the turtle man is at it again?
The news brought back by the clever little devil quickly spread in Jiang Jinhan's live stream. Jiang Jinhan, who was focused on the online battle, did not notice the discussions in the chat.
Fortunately, there were moderators in his live stream. Seeing that there were too many people struggling with the decision, and fearing that they would be led astray, they immediately started the "three-two-one" ban. After three warnings, all the viewers who were still struggling with the decision were banned for 24 hours.

The more Happy Superman argued with the other player, the more uneasy he felt.
The two heroes he and An Jin chose are very dependent on development; they are relatively weak in lane before they have developed in the early game.
The reason they were playing so smoothly before was twofold: firstly, their own strength was overwhelming, and secondly, 76 was always helping them.
He frowned, dodged the enemy support's skill, and retreated back to the tower with An Jin.
"There's a skilled opponent on the other side."
Before Happy Superman could speak, An Jin spoke first.
You can get a pretty good idea of your opponent's strength by experiencing some pressure during the laning phase.
Happy Superman calmly hummed in agreement: "We can fight. Let's wait for Soldier: 76 to arrive."
An Jin didn't think so. In his previous life, he was a game booster. Although his skills weren't up to par in this life, his game sense was excellent.
Instead of idly swiping the screen to spy on the top and mid laners' last-hitting, her first reaction upon feeling the pressure from the enemy bottom lane was to control her hero, dismount from Happy Superman, and assist Happy Superman in last-hitting.
The opposing bot lane was picked second, and both heroes are strong picks.
An Jin frowned as she watched Happy Superman lose a third of his health after finishing off a wave of minions under the tower. "Even if Soldier: 76 comes, we might not be able to beat him," she said.
76 only reached level 3 after clearing the jungle monsters in the lower half of the jungle, and Anjin's Yuumi didn't have any crowd control skills.
Happy Superman's health was reduced by one-third during the laning phase, and another third was lost during last-hitting, leaving him with only one-third of his health bar.
An Jin quickly issued the order: "If we can't beat them, 76, keep farming. Kaixin, we'll go back and replenish our health."
Having been under pressure for a long time, these two bosses have incredibly strong execution skills.
Upon hearing the order, 76 immediately went to the upper jungle to farm and gank, while Happy Superman cautiously chose to recall under the tower to replenish his health and mana.
————
Jiang Jinhan pushed the minion wave into the tower, frowned in disappointment, and while eating the tower's crust in disbelief, he said to the chat, "They actually recalled."
: You played so steadily...
They didn't give us any chance at all, damn it! I didn't realize they were so composed when we invaded their jungle at level one.
To be honest, if they hadn't invaded the enemy jungle so openly at level one, the enemy team definitely wouldn't have won if a level one team fight had actually broken out.
Who knew the jungler and AD carry would invade the jungle with a cat? Everyone thought there were other people behind them.
If only our jungler were here, we could have tower-dived at level three.
It's just a random jungler, don't expect too much.
The game continued, and Jiang Jinhan's face only got worse with each slap in the face.
It's not because he can't beat them. How could a professional player like him lose to a casual team?
Jiang Jinhan's face darkened because he was playing too frustratingly; he and his support had chosen heroes that were strong in the early to mid-game.
Under normal circumstances, he could dominate the enemy's bottom lane, not to mention that Jiang Jinhan's skills completely outclassed Happy Superman.
The problem is, he didn't jungle.
[League of Legends] is a team game. No matter how strong Jiang Jinhan's individual skills are, or how much pressure he puts on the opponent in lane,
He can't get kills, his equipment and economy aren't far ahead, and when the enemy jungler comes, he has to retreat.
Another failed hunt, and Jiang Jinhan, with his health nearly depleted, returned home with a long face.
Oh my god... the cat and the jungler are a couple? Even my dad gets this kind of treatment when he plays bot lane.
This is the first time I've seen such a cowardly bot lane. Damn, it's like they're starving themselves, not eating anything at all.
Is this what three-player queueing is like? If there's a jungler, you queue with the jungler; if there's no jungler, you queue with the tower. Are you some kind of turtle?
I'm getting so worked up watching this! What is our jungler doing?! Help me out, I can't take it anymore!
Every time it's just a little short; the enemy bot laner is low on health, and then the enemy jungler comes crawling after them like a ghost...
This cat bag belongs to the boss. Why would a regular racing team provide road protection?
I don't care about anything else, I just want to know where the enemy jungler's WeChat is. Damn it, I need to get his WeChat right now!
