Chapter 38 It's time to show our true strength!
"Alright, alright, now that everything's cleared up, everyone go back to what you were doing." The factory manager dispersed the crowd, then turned to Lin Mo and said:
"Hey Xiao Mo, didn't the boss mention the prize money for the top spot on the Challenger tier last night? How about we duo queue, and I'll carry you for a bit?"
Faced with the factory manager's sincere invitation to join the team, Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively and said righteously:
"No thanks, Kai."
"I have a weird quirk when it comes to ranked matches: I prefer solo queue. I love that lone wolf experience! I don't feel comfortable playing with you in a duo queue; it affects my practice. You should go duo queue with other players!"
Hearing Lin Mo say that, the factory manager looked a little surprised, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded and said, "Okay, whatever you say."
With that, the factory manager turned around, put on his headphones, and prepared to start a ranked match.
……
at the same time.
Lin Mo took out his phone, found Rita's WeChat, and typed: "Rita, are you awake? Log in, let's go to the Summit of the Rift!"
Less than three seconds after the message was sent, a notification appeared saying "The other party is typing."
Rita: "Wake up! Wait a minute, I'm logging in right away!"
Seeing the message, I casually opened the League of Legends client.
Soon, Rita's avatar lit up in my friend list.
Immediately afterwards, a team-up invitation popped up on Lin Mo's screen.
The two entered the voice chat channel with ease and immediately began their duo queue journey.
……
Twenty minutes later.
The factory manager stretched.
He wasn't very lucky in this ranked match, as he was matched with a few teammates who were a bit tilted, and he was sweating profusely. But in the end, he managed to win.
He took off his headphones and rubbed his ears, only to hear Lin Mo's passionate voice coming from beside him:
"Wow, that's amazing! Sister Tazi, is your Glorious Q equipped with infrared auto-navigation? It can even stop two enemies at such tricky angles!"
"Beautiful Ta Zi! That comeback was absolutely amazing!"
"Tako is invincible! Her positioning and awareness are incredible, I'd believe it if you told me Faker was smurfing!"
The factory manager was stunned.
He mechanically turned his head and saw on Lin Mo's computer screen that this guy was playing Lulu, clinging to the backside of a Lux like conjoined twins.
The factory manager's eyes twitched violently, and his molars clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.
"Damn it!" The factory manager finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Xiao Mo, didn't you say you had a weird quirk, that you liked solo queue, that you liked the lone wolf combat experience?!"
"You call this a lone wolf?!"
Lin Mo, busy shielding Rita, said without turning his head, "Hey Kai, you don't understand. Lone wolves sometimes need the support of the team. Besides, I'm practicing my support's protective abilities; that's called tactical preparation!"
"I can't believe your lies!" The factory manager's lips twitched violently. "You ungrateful bastard!"
Lin Mo ignored the factory manager and focused on playing the game.
Rita's condition today remains incredibly strong, even with the system's triple fragment boost!
In the first game, Rita played Lux as support and dealt damage like a mid-lane nuke. With 20 stacks of Mejai's Soulstealer, she roamed the entire map and forced the opposing team to surrender in just fifteen minutes.
In the second game, Rita confidently took the ADC role and picked Xayah.
Under Lin Molu's protection, she moved with incredible speed and agility in team fights, as if she were in an empty field!
In the third game, Rita picked Caitlyn and destroyed the bottom lane tower in ten minutes.
They started with a clean and decisive three-game winning streak!
Moreover, Rita carried the team every single game and won the MVP!
"Hahaha! Brother Mo, did you see that?! Don't I look incredibly handsome?! It feels like everything is back to normal!"
On the other end of the voice call, Rita sounded extremely excited. The psychological trauma she had suffered from being beaten 1-9-2 in solo queue last night had long been forgotten.
"I knew it! Last night, that support player was just too bad, and it affected my mentality! As long as you're there to support me, I'm the coolest guy in the Challenger tier!"
Rita felt like she had completely stood up again, and that invincible feeling had returned, making her more and more engrossed in the game, with laughter never stopping.
"That's right. With Sister Ta's talent, it's a huge loss to the e-sports industry that she's not going to play professionally." Lin Mo praised her without reservation.
Not only can you win effortlessly, but you can also get tons of free attributes. Why not?
The two chatted and laughed, working in perfect harmony as they began their massacre at the top of the canyon.
They played from 1:30 pm until after 5 pm.
For a full four hours, the two played fourteen ranked matches in a row.
Fourteen-game winning streak! Not a single loss!
Moreover, the higher the rank they climbed, the stronger their opponents became, but this still couldn't stop their winning streak.
The system's delightful notification sounded in Lin Mo's mind once again:
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you and the target have won this match in duo queue. You have gained 1 permanent attribute point!]
[Current permanent attribute points: 14]
[Current Rita progress: 39%!]
Lin Mo looked at the freshly printed 14 permanent attribute points on the panel and was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
If this continues for a few more days, my originally lackluster stats will evolve into a well-rounded, all-around warrior!
Just as Lin Mo was preparing to strike while the iron was hot and start the fifteenth round.
"Slap! Slap!"
The training room door was pushed open, and Coach Abu clapped his hands and strode in.
"Slap! Slap!"
The training room door was pushed open, and Coach Abu clapped his hands and strode in.
"Everyone, I have something to tell you!" Abu walked to the center of the training room, looked around, and said, "I've arranged a practice match with the Snake team, it starts in an hour. Everyone go eat first, then get ready."
Lin Mo thought to himself, "What a pity."
I was grinding my stats really hard, but now I'm forced to stop.
He had no choice but to say to Rita, "Rita, the coach is calling us to gather. We have a practice match scheduled with Snake. That's all for today."
"Ah...we're going to play a practice match already?" Rita, who was really into the game, was a little reluctant to leave.
However, she understood and could only say, "Preparing for the Spring Split Finals is more important. Go and get ready, and do your best against Snake!"
"Okay, I'll ask you to fly with me again after training tonight if I have time," Lin Mo said with a smile.
"Okay! I'm waiting for you, Mozi-ge, good luck!"
After explaining everything, Lin Mo left the team room and immediately brought up the system panel in his mind.
"System, add all 14 permanent attribute points to my hand speed!"
[Ding! Permanent attribute points successfully allocated!]
[Current Host Panel:]
[Hand speed: 77]
[Consciousness: 50]
Confidence: 82
Feeling the sensations spreading through his body, Lin Mo felt incredibly satisfied.
A hand speed of 77 is not low.
After all, the factory manager's hand speed is only around 80 now, so can my hand speed of 77 barely compare to that of a second-rate professional player?
Lin Mo wondered if he should test the waters in the training match later?
With a hand speed of 77, plus the temporary attributes dropped in the game, can he beat a real professional?
If I remember correctly, the top laner for the Sanke team right now should be either Zz1tai or Flandre, right?
Well, it's time to check the results!
