Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 326 The Pig Farmer's Counterattack
Since she was already here, she decided to make the best of it. Having grown up in a privileged environment, Li Luo had spent very little time with her family since starting university. Now, she had been away for a year and a half, which was only about the length of her freshman year.

The main reason he left Uzi's timeline was due to his lack of skill and the targeting by Riot Games, but he also did not forget his promise.

We must go back, and together we must win our third championship!

Now that I've arrived in this time and space and taken over as the factory manager, an unprecedented sense of novelty has filled my heart.

If Uzi's regrets are ranked first on the list of professional players' regrets, then Clearlove's regrets are undoubtedly second.

Putting aside his past life, looking at the present, the factory manager who is about to announce his transition to coaching is also a tragic hero.

To describe the factory manager's career in official terms, it was like two roads diverging in a wood, and the factory manager chose the one less traveled by, thus determining the path of his life.

Factory Director, Promise, MSI MVP, LPL's No.1 Jungler, Ionia Night Slayer, Proving the World's No.1 Jungler in Reverse, 4396, Horse Trampling Arrow, Fish Die, Net Break, NMSLWSND, Your Account is Gone.

There are ten "dou" of LPL memes, and Clearlove alone accounts for seven of them.

The once invincible EDG is teetering on the brink of collapse. In the S7 World Championship, WE and RNG were unstoppable. Compared to the starvation-style jungler Mlxg, Clearlove7 became a synonym for trash in the storm of public opinion. That 7 looks so ironic. His so-called dream is just a reluctance to give up fame and fortune in the eyes of many people.

After S7, the landscape changed, and everyone's focus shifted to RNG, IG, and FPX.

EDG, who is that?

As Edg declined, those who had always criticized Clearlove gradually developed feelings for him, from initially saying "nmsl" to finally saying "Clearlove, stay! LPL can't do without you."
Some even bluntly stated that if the factory manager retires, then criticizing others will become pointless.

Everyone knows that the factory manager has a dream and has been working hard towards it, but ability doesn't lie, and his increasingly low rank is the best proof.

Shaking off the growing stream of factory manager memories in his mind, Li Luo began to face reality. At that moment, the system notifications also began:

drop drop~
The system detected that the host is already bound to Mingkai's body and cannot alter his cognition.
Select the options you want to receive; filtering is in progress.

1. Hero Specialization 2. Tournament Experience 3. Friendships 4. Family Relationships 5. Emotional Relationships
The host needs to make careful choices, as once a choice is made, it cannot be changed. If the host chooses to abandon certain options, the Dream Fulfillment System will modify the current time and space.

During the host's mission, in any altered timeline, the options abandoned by the host will enter a Schrödinger state.

Schrödinger's cat-like behavior, as always, delighted Li Luo.

Just like last time, without much hesitation, he chose to block out 4 and 5, and only selected 123 to ensure the integrity of his professional career.

As the words fell, a ripple flashed across the screen, and a vast amount of memory surged into Li Luo's mind.

Mingkai's experience in major tournaments and heroes comes in waves. As one of the top junglers, Mingkai has enough experience and is domineering enough.

However, these memories include strange things like the old versions of Nunu, Pantheon, and Evelynn.

In the new version, the jungle proficiency rating system even includes a three-star rating.

Upon closer inspection, Li Luo burst into laughter.

Samsung's Ike!
Good heavens, I mean good heavens, you damn system, are you implying something about my factory?

Ekko played three times during his career at the factory, racking up a 66% win rate, making him one of his signature heroes (lol), but now he only has a 3-star mastery level.

Compared to Ekko, Clearlove consistently maintains a four-star proficiency level for other more conventional heroes.

As for five-star players, there aren't any yet. I don't know if it's because the game version is changing too quickly or because the players' skills have declined.

After glancing at the factory manager's status bar, Li Luo was surprised to find two things that hadn't been seen on the puppy before:

Skill!
The factory manager possesses two key skills: a veteran and a professional pig farmer.

After clicking twice, the skill details immediately appeared in the center of the screen.

Veteran: Players over 25 years old automatically trigger this buff. When playing in the starting position, their fighting spirit is automatically increased to 99 points, and there is a 75% chance that it will slightly increase the fighting spirit of teammates (10~25).

Professional pig farmer (not activated):

When a player activates their skill to rank up, if they encounter an opponent whose hero proficiency level is higher than their own, they can steal the opponent's proficiency by controlling 7 or more F6 camps in a row to win the game. The bonus effect depends on the number of camps stolen.

When a player starts as the team's jungler, winning the game by controlling 7 or more F6 camps will allow them to randomly absorb the enemy jungler's attribute values ​​and feed them back to themselves (0.1-5). The absorbed value is a permanent bonus, but the reduction in the absorbed value is limited to 24 hours.

"Holy crap, that's kind of weird!"

The first skill is alright, but the second skill, the pig farmer skill, is absolutely insane.

In ranked games, you can steal mastery by stealing more than 7 F6 stacks and winning the game. And the following methods are even more outrageous!
Putting aside the fact that you absorb the enemy jungler's attribute values ​​after winning a best-of-five series, the fact that the absorbed values ​​are permanent is terrifying enough.

The factory manager is actually a numerical freak?
Thinking of this, Li Luo saw the "not activated" option next to the skill and clicked on it. Immediately, a frustrating notification popped up.

Activation conditions: Reach the top spot in the Korean server in a manner befitting the factory manager (understated luxury with class) and maintain that position for 24 hours to activate the skill.

Seeing such harsh conditions, Li Luo finally understood why the factory manager could no longer maintain his top-notch control.

The factory manager's skill requires reaching the top of the Korean server rankings to trigger. According to his estimation, there will be some restrictions after reaching the top. If he falls out of these restrictions, this skill will enter a locked state.

This also explains why Mingkai has three attributes with a score of 99.

In a true sense, compared to other players, Mingkai is not a naturally gifted player, but a hard-working one.

Judging from the skills available at the time, it's likely that the skill was triggered after the factory manager reached the top of the Chinese server, causing him to become increasingly powerful and dominant.

However, after S5Edg suffered a major setback, the skill required Clearlove to reach the top of the Korean server again to trigger the skill. At that time, Clearlove's skill was no longer sufficient for him to reach the top, so the skill was shelved, causing Clearlove to become worse and worse due to his age.

After figuring this out, Li Luo immediately felt relieved.

The factory manager couldn't reach the top of the Korean server, but he can now. Putting aside the 100 points of reaction speed he brought, the items he pulled out of his backpack are enough to give him a second spring.

Without hesitation, he drew out the healing cards from his system inventory one by one, following a thought.

Some cards, some 5%, some 2%, dozens of cards that were once thought to be worthless, now seem incredibly precious.

With the blessing of dozens of cards, the continuous green light had turned Li Luo into a green man, and as the healing light ended, the attribute values ​​on the panel were completely refreshed:
Host: Mingkai-clearlove7 (Li Luo)
Age: 26
Operation: 88 (Peak 99)

Team battle: 93 (peak 99)

Consciousness: 88 (Peak 99)

Support: 94 (Peak 95)

Reaction: 100 (Peak 95) (Host attribute bonus in progress, currently 100)

In the five-dimensional attribute chart, except for reaction which remained at 100 points, the other four attributes all saw slight increases, especially operation, which climbed a small slope and reached the threshold of the top tier in the Chinese server.

Satisfied, I turned off the panel and system. The black and white colors in the world faded away, and it returned to the real world of chirping insects and birds.

Feeling his emaciated body again, Li Luo revealed a sinister smile. Although the factory manager's body had recovered to 100% health, it was still no match for the body of Ji Ba, which he had trained for over a year.

If we want to revitalize our factory, training is essential.

But the factory manager was overcome with sleepiness after staying up all night. Li Luo stood up and decided to have a meal first and then rest. Once he was rested, he would start to see how far he could go in the current rank.

After finishing breakfast at the restaurant, Li Luo recalled his room number and was about to go upstairs when he bumped into the Edg team who had just gotten up.

Feeling a bit sleepy and still a little confused after receiving the memories, Li Luo didn't dare to say much. He smiled, greeted them, and continued walking.

Mei Kou and the others who were watching from behind were stunned when they saw the factory manager actually smiling and greeting them.

Moreover, not to mention Mei Kou and the others, even the junior students who were greeted were completely bewildered at this moment.

Looking at the factory manager's retreating figure and recalling his smile from just now, Mei Kou couldn't help but shiver. She playfully asked, "Ming Kai, what good thing happened to you? Have you recovered?"

"I don't know, the factory looked a bit scary today."

"Holy crap, check your phones and see the top trending topic right now. No, wait, Mingkai has switched to coaching!"

The group of people sitting in the restaurant looked at each other in surprise, picked up their phones, and clicked on the trending topic that Edg had just made an official announcement. They were shocked.

Suddenly, the bread and milk in everyone's hands didn't taste so good anymore.

.........

Unaware of everyone's reactions, Li Luo finally found peace and quiet after returning to his room. Overcome with drowsiness, he ignored the messages on his phone and went straight to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already getting late, so I must have slept for more than ten hours.

After stretching contentedly, Li Luo returned to the restaurant.

However, he missed the mealtime this time, and the empty restaurant was only occupied by the auntie who was busy with various tasks.

"Auntie, could you please get me some rice to tide me over?"

Seeing Li Luo approach and speak shyly, the aunt was taken aback for a moment, then realized what she meant and smiled as she repeatedly agreed.

Edg's management is strict. Eating is eating, and training is training. Time is limited. If you miss a meal, you'll go hungry. Even if you order takeout, you can only do it three times a month or less. Any more than that will result in a fine.

In the past, Mingkai always took the lead and set an example in order to cultivate the team members' self-awareness and discipline. Unexpectedly, today he is going to give them special training.

This scene was witnessed by Mei Kou, who came to get water, and she almost dropped her water bottle.

After finishing dinner, Li Luo returned to the training room and, ignoring the slightly strange atmosphere, plopped down in his training seat and opened the League of Legends interface.

Seeing this, the girl sitting next to him couldn't hold back any longer. She crept closer and whispered:
"Mingkai, are you really going offstage? Don't give up on yourself, we can still fight!"

Li Luo, who was pondering what ID to change to, was startled by Mei Kou's bang. Looking at Mei Kou's little face, Li Luo was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It's often said that professional support players are social butterflies, and in some ways, Meiko is no less so than Xiaoming. In the entire Edg team, he's the only one who dares to joke around with Clearlove so often.

"Get lost! I haven't retired yet. I can come back and play anytime I'm ready."

"Really?"

"Then there is still a holiday?"

After scrutinizing Li Luo's face repeatedly, Mei Kou clicked her tongue in amazement while shaking her head and shrinking back.

The factory manager's behavior today wasn't just a little strange, it was extremely strange.

Since the end of the competition in August, Clearlove has had a sullen face every day, looking like everyone else owes him money. This has scared the Edg team so much that they don't dare to shout loudly during training, for fear of triggering Clearlove's bad luck.

Unexpectedly, the factory manager actually smiled today, something he hadn't done in a long time, as if he had returned to the era when he won 12 out of 13 games with Lee Sin.

How strange!
After sending the girl away, Li Luo thought about it and finally changed his ID to symbolize bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new.

Using the ID "The Pig Farmer's Comeback," Li Luo started a live stream based on his memory, changed the room name to "Reaching Master Today," and began ranked matches. While waiting, he glanced at the massive live stream room and felt a little awkward.

There's no way around it, the difference between the factory manager's live stream and the puppy's live stream is just too great, and they're far too clean.

Although there is no shortage of people stirring up trouble and mindless insults in the live stream, the number of good people outnumbers the bad ones.

Especially today, seeing countless viewers sending messages in the live chat saying things like "Clearlove, don't retire, come back and keep playing," the difference between the two worlds of chat messages made Li Luo fully realize the fact that he had become Clearlove.

Just as he was about to clear his throat and say a few words, the game client popped up, indicating that he had joined the queue.

Upon entering the ban/pick page and seeing the familiar hero icons, the sense of unfamiliarity from the time travel was immediately reduced.

In his first game in the Clearlove world, Li Luo decided to play jungle. Although he hadn't lost any of Uzi's bot lane skills, according to the system's deduction, he had to complete the dream mission by playing jungle.

As a former top player, Li Luo still had some confidence after receiving the hero proficiency from the factory manager. After all, ranked and competitive arenas are two different concepts. With his attributes restored and 100 points of reaction in the Master rank, it would be a piece of cake.

As soon as he entered the game and saw that he was in the mid-lane position, before Li Luo could even ask for a position, the chat box immediately started interacting with him.

[Dump truck: Holy crap, is that the factory manager? Holy crap, there's a dog too?]

[Dump truck: 77777777]

[Killed solo before level 3: I'm so sad, so sad. Will I ever see Clearlove play in a match again?]

[Final Time: 777]

Having transmigrated to this world, Li Luo encountered Uzi in his very first match, leaving him both amused and exasperated. He then decided to play around and started interacting with Uzi in the public chat:
[The Pig Farmer's Comeback: Uzi, yyds]

With two players who are currently the most talked-about in the professional scene, the team atmosphere is extremely harmonious, and everyone even defers to each other regarding their positions.

After some communication, Li Luo got the jungler position. He casually banned a hard-to-gank Fiora and started looking for a hero he wanted to use among the junglers. After looking around, his eyes settled on one hero.

"I will make your dreams come true with my own hands!"

Blue side vs. Red side

Top Lane: Illaoi vs. Renekton
Jungle: Lee Sin vs Nidalee
Mid Lane: Fizz vs. Irelia

Adc: Lucian vs Xayah

Support: Leona vs. Rakan
