Chapter 39: You’re Beautiful When You Smile Chapter 39 \nJinx usually performed better than the rat, Twitch, at lane in the early game. Lu Sicheng easily outperformed Butterfly in minion kills and reached level 3 before Butterfly. With all three abilities available to him, he tapped on the floor as a signal and muttered: “Little Fatty, go forward a bit and waste his two abilities.” After Little Fatty went up and sacrificed half of his health, Lu Sicheng told him to move back toward Lu’s position. The enemy was expected to chase after Little Fatty– —\nJust then, Little Fatty turned around to cast Exhaust (a summoner’s spell that reduces the enemy’s attack and speed by almost half) Then Lu Sicheng jumped out of the bush and attacked Butterfly with a combo of abilities. His fingers moved swiftly on the keyboard and Butterfly’s health began to disappear!
Butterfly tried to retreat, but Lu Sicheng didn’t give him the chance and blasted Butterfly’s remaining health away and took in the 400 gold for the first kill of the game– —
When the system announced Butterfly’s death, Lu Sicheng could hear praises from his teammates over the headphones– —\nLu Sicheng didn’t respond to any of them; to him, this was only the beginning.
The enemy’s support, Old Wang, seeing their own adc dead and Lu Sicheng with quite a bit of health left, decided it would be better to retreat. Lu Sicheng’s cooldown for his E ability, Flame Chompers, happened to just end. He turned to toss 3 chompers right in front of Old Wang’s feet. Little Fatty’s ability, Death Sentence, also finished its cooldown and he turned to use his scythe’s chain to drag Old Wang towards his direction. Old Wang misstepped into one of the chompers, causing a 1.5 second stun– —
1.5 seconds was enough for Lu Sicheng to cast all of his abilities on Old Wang and kill the weakened support!\nDouble kill!
Though the players couldn’t hear it, the whole audience burst into cheers and applause for the Little Fatty and Lu Sicheng’s perfect coordination! In the first 5 minutes after the match began, Lu Sicheng already had two kills at bot. He happily harvested the wave of minions next to him and went back to base to buy new equipment– —
Two kills plus the reward for first blood was worth a total of 700 gold. When he went back to lane, he would be better equipped than the enemy’s adc. It would be very difficult for the enemy to get ahead!
\nLu Sicheng kept the pressure on Butterfly, Butterfly would call on Jian Yang to come help. But no matter how many times Jian Yang showed up, he would find ZGDX’s jungler, Old K, also there!
Old K stayed put at mid and bot to make sure the team kept their advantages there. CK tried their very best to counterattack, but they weren’t able to get any more kills even though both sides had reached level 6– —
At that moment, the ratio of kills were 3 to 2 and ZGDX was ahead by about 1,000 gold– —
The difference in gold was from the minion kills by mid and bot!
