Those Sweet Times
Chapter 60 Part 1
There's a saying among the professional players of Kings of Glory: “Dark Slayer 5000 rule.” It means whoever defeats Dark Slayer would get ahead by 5000 gold. If the team with the advantage got Dark Slayer, they'd rocket up even higher. If the losing side stole Dark Slayer, then there was a good chance that they could catch up.
It was crucial for Xiang Nuan's team that Lin Chuyan stole Dark Slayer. They bought a chance to take a breather and catch up in gold. Most importantly, after Dark Slayer's vanguards had sp.a.w.ned, Mai s.h.i.+runui and Marco Polo finally bought some items and the time for their comeback had arrived!
But in terms of turrets, The Times was still at an absolute disadvantage, but the scales were finally tilting toward their side as the match dragged on.
In the late game, the difference in turrets were less important because each champion could deal a greater amount of damage now and it took little time for them to destroy a turret. Victory could be decided from one teamfight.
The enemy Zhuge Liang was growing sluggish. It was the characteristic of the champion; every champion was strong during a period of the game, once that period pa.s.sed, they would be weaker.
Yang Yin believed that Xiang Nuan's team, a.s.suming they were equal in skill, would have greater than 70% chance to win team fights if the team could last till the late game and didn't fall too far behind economically. From what she'd seen so far, it seemed to her that The Times had more skill than their opponent. So it wasn't a big surprise for her to see the team make their comeback at the end. Though their opponents seemed to be shocked by what was happening.
The Times team won the first round.
Xiang Nuan went to the bathroom. When she came back, she saw Lin Chuyan had already made two cups of citron tea.
He really was acting like he was at his own house……
Xiang Nuan took the cup and found the tea to be at the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.
“It's ready to drink now.” Lin Chuyan said.
Xiang Nuan took a sip. It was sweet and warm, with a faint citron fragrance. It was rather soothing as the liquid slid down into her stomach.
She used both of her hands to hold the cup and sneaked a glance at him.
Lin Chuyan still had his earphones on and was looking down at his cell phone. A ray of suns.h.i.+ne slipped through the gap between the curtain panels and shone through the hair on his forehead, landing on his face.
His eyes cast downwards and his face looked quite tranquil.
Xiang Nuan felt like she was looking at a painting.
Lin Chuyan sensed Xiang Nuan's gaze and suddenly looked up at her.
Xiang Nuan hurriedly moved her eyes away. As a cover up, she started to gulp the tea down……
Lin Chuyan twitched the corners of his lips.
Though it was a shame that his affection for Xiang Nuan was still a one way street, there were times that he felt that just being next to her was enough.
……
In the second round of the match, both sides had decided to either ban or pick the other side's champions that had performed well in the first round. Lin Chuyan didn't get Mai s.h.i.+ranui again and ended up with Diaochan.
The opposing team picked Xiang Nuan's Laofuzi before she could. She ended up with Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was a strong champion; he could protect and support teammates and was very useful in team fights. A good Guan Yu was extremely powerful, but required a high skill level to play well.
This match, Xiang Nuan's performance with Guan Yu was average. Nevertheless, her team had a much easier time than the last round. It seemed that the opponent had an even smaller champion pool than them. After Zhuge Liang and Dharma were banned, they lost the momentum they had shown in the first round. They were sluggish from the start. The Times had the upper hand from the start of the game. In the end, the PE Inst.i.tute wasn't able to make a comeback.
Xiang Nuan's team won again.
